Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

"What else? Have you finished your homework? Have you read your books? All you do all day is play games in your room..."

“Let me correct you,” Lu Mingfei interrupted, “it’s your son playing the game right now.”

"How dare you talk back!" Auntie was even angrier. "Mingze plays games because he has good grades. He can easily get into a first-tier university, and with a little effort, he can get into a top university! What about you? With your grades, you'll have a hard time getting into a first-tier university. If you don't get into a good university, how will you live in society and how will you get married?"

"My parents send me money every month, right? I'll just live off the money they send me and wait to die..." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

"Lu Mingfei!" Auntie's voice was like an exploding powder keg, loud enough to lift the roof off.

She was angry not because Lu Mingfei was wrong, but because he was right.

The money that Lu Lincheng and Qiao Weini send every month is a very generous amount. With this money, her family can live very comfortably, send Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze to private elite schools, pay off the mortgage early, buy a small-displacement BMW, and let her pretend to be a rich lady and show off at the card table.

However, this is Lu Mingfei's child support. Theoretically, this money belongs to Lu Mingfei, but since he is still a minor, it is being kept and used by his guardian.

Once Lu Mingfei turns eighteen, he will be considered an adult.

He could choose to be raised by his uncle and aunt and then continue to let them keep and use the money.

However, he could also choose to live independently from then on, in which case the money should be given to Lu Mingfei himself, and he would have no further connection with his uncle and aunt's family.

If Lu Mingfei insists on having the money and his aunt refuses, he can sue her, and in the end, the money will still belong to him.

This is something my aunt absolutely cannot tolerate.

Without the money sent by Lu Mingfei's parents, he could no longer show off at the mahjong table, and even supporting Lu Mingze to continue his studies at Shilan Middle School would be a struggle.

So the aunt was actually very afraid of losing the money, and even more afraid that Lu Mingfei would ask her for it back. And when fear reached its extreme, it turned into extreme rage.

But it wasn't just his aunt who was angry; Lu Mingfei was also unhappy.

His aunt's earth-shattering roar made Lu Mingfei's eardrums ring.

If he had never been to Tony's world, never experienced the fear of living in a terrorist base, and never witnessed the extravagant lifestyle of America's top billionaires, he wouldn't have many thoughts about his current life.

But now, he feels a bit frustrated.

He looked up and stared coldly at his aunt, who looked like an angry porcupine.

“Anyway, that’s my parents’ money, it’s for me,” Lu Mingfei stared at his aunt and said, word by word, “Isn’t that right?”

"You're not an adult yet, we raised you!" The aunt's imposing manner subsided.

"Use my parents' money?" Lu Mingfei retorted, "And while you're at it, also support yourselves and your son?"

"Lu Mingfei! Do you know what you're saying?!"

“I’m talking about what you’ve done over the years; I’m stating the facts,” Lu Mingfei said calmly.

The aunt strode forward, raised her arm, and tried to slap Lu Mingfei across the face.

Lu Mingfei was already quite strong. He stepped forward and nudged his aunt's arm. His aunt stumbled and fell to the ground, but fortunately, she was able to hold onto the sofa and was not injured.

"Ouch—" Auntie lay on the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching wail and cry, "You dare hit me? You little ingrate, I raised you and you actually hit me..."

Lu Mingfei gave her a cold look, turned around, walked to the door, and opened it.

"I will never come back."

With those words, Lu Mingfei strode out, the loud slamming of the door shut silencing his aunt's cries.

……

After leaving the apartment building, Lu Mingfei wandered aimlessly for a long time before finally entering a park and stopping in a secluded corner.

He squatted down and raised his hand to rub his face vigorously.

After a long while, he stood up again and let out a long sigh.

I wouldn't say I regret it, I even feel a little relieved, but leaving that family behind makes me feel a bit empty.

The good news is that he can now go to Tony's world.

However, when he goes to another world, his location is random, but when he returns, he will appear at the location where he left.

This means he can't just travel through time anywhere, otherwise he'll be in trouble if someone sees him when he comes back.

The best thing to do is find a hotel, draw the curtains, and disappearing for 24 hours shouldn't be a big deal.

Can……

Lu Mingfei touched his pocket.

He only brought an old cell phone with him when he came out—it was given to him by Lu Mingze after he got a new one.

Besides, he didn't have much pocket money to begin with. Even if he put it all in his pocket, it wouldn't be enough to open a hotel, let alone afford to stay overnight at an internet cafe.

He rubbed his temples hard, and after agonizing for a while, Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and dialed a number.

"Hello, Little Fairy? It's me, Lu Mingfei... Hey, hey, don't hang up, I have something very important to tell you, it's really very important."

"Um... could you lend me some money? Why? I just had a fight with my aunt and uncle and ran away from home. I have nowhere to stay right now, so I'm thinking of staying in a hotel for a couple of days to tide me over, and then sleeping under bridges and on the street when the weather gets warmer..."

Thank you to Kaiming for the 1500 points, thank you to me for the 800 points, and thank you to Mirrorman for the 100 points. Thank you!

Chapter 13 Come on, give me a quick death.

In a budget hotel.

Lu Mingfei lay on the soft bed and couldn't help but sigh.

"The little fairy is still so righteous!"

After receiving his call, Su Xiaoqiang asked Lu Mingfei to come to her house without saying a word. When Lu Mingfei left, he had five thousand yuan in his pocket, a gift from Su Xiaoqiang.

“Spend it sparingly, and if you need more, remember to write an IOU. It will be calculated at the highest interest rate for bank loans. If you dare not pay it back, I will have my dad send you to work in the mine to pay off the debt.”

Su Xiaoqiang's words still seemed to echo in Lu Mingfei's ears.

Five thousand yuan is quite a lot. Lu Mingfei's hotel room is only eighty yuan a day, and there are discounts for staying longer. Five thousand yuan is enough for him to stay for two months and eat.

When Lu Mingfei was at Su Xiaoqiang's house, he asked her in confusion why she was helping him. Su Xiaoqiang calmly replied that she had also run away from home before, and now that she had met someone like her, she was happy to lend a helping hand.

However, Lu Mingfei's situation was far more complicated than hers.

She ran away from home because she had a fight with her parents. She took her wallet and ID card with her when she left. She stayed at the Regent Hotel for one night and was found and reconciled with her parents the next day. The hotel manager happened to know Miss Su, so she, as a minor, was able to book a room by herself.

On the living room sofa, Su Xiaoqiang listened briefly to Lu Mingfei's account of his family, including his uncle and aunt. Immediately, her eyebrows furrowed, and she slammed her fist on the table, cursing Lu Mingfei's uncle and aunt as inhuman.

On the contrary, Lu Mingfei calmly advised her a couple of times, saying that although his uncle and aunt had some flaws in their character, they still raised him to be healthy and strong. You could say they weren't good people, but to say they weren't human would be a bit much.

Then Su Xiaoqiang poked Lu Mingfei's forehead and said, "You deserve to be bullied."

While saying that Lu Mingfei deserved to be bullied, Su Xiaoqiang deftly took out her wallet, took out all the cash inside, handed it to Lu Mingfei, then turned around, went upstairs, went into her room, and came downstairs with a stack of bright red bills in her hand.

That adds up to exactly five thousand yuan.

Of course, along with the money, paper and pen, and even a box of inkpad were also taken away.

Su Xiaoqiang wrote an IOU for Lu Mingfei to sign, which included his name, ID number, date of the debt, reason for the debt, amount owed, and interest. Both parties then voluntarily signed and affixed their fingerprints.

However, the IOU did not specify a repayment date.

When Lu Mingfei asked, Su Xiaoqiang waved her hand dismissively: "Do I care about a pittance? You can pay me back when you have the money. Anyway, there's interest, so I'm not afraid of losing money. I doubt you'd dare not pay me back."

And so, Lu Mingfei left with the five thousand yuan lent to him by Su Fupo, full of gratitude, and for the time being, he no longer had to live under the bridge or scavenge for food from the garbage cans.

……

Rubbing his face, Lu Mingfei stood up from the large bed.

He had already pretended to be very tired, telling the front desk that he needed to spend the whole day catching up on sleep and that they should skip this room when cleaning and not disturb him.

Putting his phone in his pocket, Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and tried to mobilize some of the transmigration power that had been restored within him.

After a moment of disorientation, his vision blurred, his senses gradually dulled, and he felt as if he were floating in the air.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Mingfei first felt a sense of security, as if his feet were firmly on the ground, and then his dulled senses quickly returned.

He paused for a moment, realizing he was standing on the edge of a rooftop, and it seemed to be late at night.

Lu Mingfei glanced down and saw that the vehicles on the ground below looked like ants as they moved through the narrow streets.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took more than ten steps back before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Ancient One said that a powerful force was dormant within him and would awaken if he suffered a fatal injury, if he accidentally fell from this height, he would probably be smashed to pieces upon landing, and who knows if the power within him could still save him.

Looking around, Lu Mingfei wanted to first confirm where he was.

The surrounding scenery looked somewhat familiar; the towering buildings and their bright lights matched some fragments of Lu Mingfei's memory.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, Lu Mingfei slapped his forehead: "This looks like the headquarters building of Stark Industries!"

He walked towards the center of the rooftop, where there was a circular iron fence. Inside the fence was a perforated skylight made of steel bars, through which one could see directly into the lobby on the first floor. Lu Mingfei stood by the fence and looked down, where he saw bright blue light.

“It really is Stark Industries’ headquarters!” Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow.

As a major shareholder of Stark Industries, Tony had Pepper bring Lu Mingfei to Stark Industries, at least to let the executives meet the new major shareholder, and in reality, to help Lu Mingfei build confidence.

Lu Mingfei came several more times afterward—there was no other reason, it was just that when he walked down the street, some male executives in suits or elegant and capable female executives would greet him respectfully, which made him feel secretly pleased.

Of course, normal people wouldn't know what Lu Mingfei was thinking. After a few times, these people spread the rumor that "the new major shareholder is very concerned about Stark Industries and comes to inspect it personally every now and then," which actually helped Lu Mingfei gain some prestige.

What impressed Lu Mingfei most about this industrial building was the giant reactor in the center of the lobby on the first floor.

That thing was actually the original version of the miniature Arc Reactor on Tony's chest. It was huge, not very efficient at producing energy, and lacked practicality, but it looked very high-tech and impressive, so it was placed in the lobby on the first floor as decoration.

Only Stark Industries' headquarters building in the whole world would have such decorations, so when Lu Mingfei saw the blue light below, he confirmed his location.

According to the information he obtained from the power of time travel, although his location in this world is not fixed, it is not completely random either. Instead, he will appear around things closely related to him, and the closer the relationship, the greater the probability.

It now seems highly likely that he's around Tony.

Lu Mingfei reached into his pocket and felt a chill run down his spine—his cell phone, which he had brought with him before he transmigrated, was gone.

In other words, cell phones cannot be taken with you through time travel, and similarly, gold and silver jewelry probably can't be taken either. If he wants to get rich in his own world, he can only go to Tony to learn technology.

With a sigh, Lu Mingfei prepared to go downstairs to find Tony.

Strange noises came from the sky.

Lu Mingfei looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a flashy gold and red robot stumbling and falling in the night. Judging from its broken limbs and the nozzles that looked like a gas stove that had run out of gas, it was probably out of power.

Fortunately, it landed successfully, but it wasn't stable. After tumbling twice on the ground, it came to a stop in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant and tentatively asked, "Tony?"
