Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 414 Latest News

The day after the Battle of Tokyo, the professors of Kassel College, the elites of the executive department, and the heads of the Snake Clan held a high-level secret meeting under the chairmanship of Angers.

The White King is dead, and although Tokyo is devastated, they still have more important things to deal with.

Don't forget, they initially came to this area to search for Norton, but suddenly jumped from an ancient dragon embryo to the White King.

I really don't know whether to call it luck or misfortune.

"The Battle of Tokyo has come to an end, and the subsequent disaster relief and rescue work is being led by the United Nations and the logistics department of the Snake Clan, but this does not mean that we can relax now."

"The Yamata no Orochi was ultimately just a genetically mutated beast that had stepped into the realm of the Dragon King, and was worlds apart from a monarch who truly grasped power and authority and possessed self-thinking wisdom."

"Dragon King Norton and Jormungandr are undoubtedly more terrifying beings than Yamata no Orochi."

"Geological surveys are currently underway in all major cities around the world. China and its Pacific Fleet submarine fleet have been searching the waters near the Solomon Islands for more than half a month, but have still found nothing."

"Next, we need to expand the search area. Some members will be reassigned, but the main force will still need to remain here to support the situation in the countries on the western Pacific coast."

"Minister Schneider will be traveling to China as a strategic advisor, and I will also return to headquarters to consult with the United Nations on follow-up matters. The branch's work will continue to be overseen by Minister Longma and Director Yuan Zhisheng."

"Yes, Principal!" Ryoma Genichiro and Genji nodded emphatically. Putting aside Tachibana Masamune's past provocations, the relationship between the branch and the headquarters had finally improved considerably. Not to mention, in this chaotic era, perhaps only Kassel College could withstand the pressure from the world and provide protection for the Japanese branch. After all, who wouldn't covet the power of the Half-Blood Emperor?

"Furthermore, the extermination work in the Red Demon River must continue; we must absolutely wipe out those dragon-blooded Asians."

After the meeting, the entire executive team immediately sprang into action.

Because the Genji Heavy Industries building has been exposed, the first to third floors have been completely sealed off with iron plates, and a large number of Self-Defense Force soldiers and police are stationed around the perimeter to maintain order. Now, people can either get around the building by helicopter from the rooftop helipad or by the secret passage of the Iron Dome Temple underground.

"Why do I feel like we're rats in the street?" Lu Mingfei muttered, carrying his luggage, as he walked through the unmanned turnstiles and out of the subway entrance.

"Alright, stop complaining. If the internet hadn't been down, who knows how many people would have thrown rotten eggs at the entrance of Lai's Heavy Industries." Caesar shrugged.

Nearly half of Shinjuku was destroyed, and Chiyoda Ward was almost completely wiped out. Not to mention the buildings in Tokyo that were destroyed by the falling fighter planes. The Tokyo Stock Exchange didn't even dare to open. The economic losses in Tokyo were estimated to be several hundred billion dollars. Those who went bankrupt couldn't find anyone to take responsibility, so of course they would cause trouble. Genji Heavy Industries, the only hybrid stronghold that had emerged, was naturally the first target.

Even if 99% of the tens of millions of people in Tokyo are reasonable, the remaining 1% could still kill Genji Heavy Industries with their spittle.

Fortunately, because the electromagnetic pulse destroyed all the networks and electronic devices, and because Princess Kaguya was constantly controlling online public opinion, otherwise the Snake-Headed Eight Families might have really had to consider moving all of them, or even moving out of Tokyo. In addition, those Dead Servants are indeed inseparable from the Snake-Headed Eight Families, so they can only endure it.

"It's impossible to keep everyone rational." Chu Zihang also shook his head.

Lu Mingfei sighed. No matter what, they had saved quite a few people. Not only did they not receive a banner of appreciation, but they also got scolded. This world is really too difficult.

These three were the core members Angers had mentioned. Together with Fingel and Nono, they formed a five-person mobile team. Their next mission was to conduct a search and investigation around the entire sea area of ​​Japan. Lu Mingfei was diving to find the dragon, while the others were his assistants, his henchmen.

Having the heir to Gattuso and the prodigy of Shilan, Chu Zihang, as his follower certainly sounds impressive, but when it comes to actually doing the work, all he wants to do is curse.

Good grief, who's in charge here? He felt like he was just a regular laborer.

After exiting the subway, they boarded the pickup truck that had been prepared in advance and headed towards Sagami in the south.

Aside from the two hardest-hit areas, Shinjuku and Chiyoda, the damage in other areas was not severe, and the earthquake caused limited damage. Power and water supplies have even begun to be restored gradually, and everything seems to be moving in a positive direction. Lu Mingfei relaxed a bit, stopped thinking about those messy things, and quietly enjoyed the sunshine and the music in his car.

Caesar and Chu Zihang were also in good spirits. The past few days had indeed been too depressing, but at least they were still alive and Tokyo had not been destroyed.

"Speaking of which, why did Uesugi Koshi and Genji look at you a little... strangely today?" Caesar hesitated before speaking.

Logically speaking, Lu Mingfei is the savior of the entire Tokyo, shouldn't we be grateful and respectful?

Lu Mingfei scratched his cheek. Caesar really knew how to bring up the most awkward topics.

"How would I know?" Lu Mingfei spread his hands to show his innocence. He swore that he really did not have any covetous thoughts towards the head of the Uesugi family!

Moreover, he felt that it was purely Uesugi Koshi and Genjiro who were being overly sensitive. Although the idiom "hero saves the beauty" does indeed easily evoke romantic notions, the head of the Uesugi family probably didn't even know what romantic love between men and women was.

"I heard that the head of the Uesugi family went downstairs to play games with Lu Mingfei as soon as he got up this morning," Chu Zihang added, glancing at the rearview mirror. "Wow, senior brother, when did you start following Fingel's bad habits? You're actually paying attention to romance gossip now?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

"I ran into her at the elevator this morning, and then Uesugi-senpai personally dragged her back. Uesugi-senpai even cursed at you a few times," Chu Zihang replied seriously. "I think she might have fallen for you."

"Damn, is that really Chu Zihang? Could it be that you've been possessed by some dirty thing? Give back our aloof male god from Shilan High School!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise. He had reason to suspect that this was Fingel's doing, possessing Chu Zihang's body.

"I see." Caesar suddenly realized something, as if he had found something interesting. After all, Nono and Erii might really be sisters.

Unfortunately, the king of hybrids has dragon blood mixed with a little human blood, so a paternity test cannot be performed.

"Why do you seem unhappy that such a beautiful woman as the head of the Uesugi family has fallen for you? Are you still thinking about that Chen Wenwen?" Caesar asked, puzzled.

"Damn, why are you so gossipy too?" Lu Mingfei's face turned red. He thought to himself that Caesar was obviously taking the opportunity to praise his girlfriend. After all, the two looked quite alike. The head of the Uesugi family was a great beauty, and so was Nono.

"And what's this Chen Wenwen? Even if you guys went through my files before, you don't have to bring this up again now, do you? She has a boyfriend now." Lu Mingfei curled his lip.

When some secrets are suddenly revealed, even if you don't care, you can't help but feel embarrassed.

Chen Wenwen is indeed a good girl. It's normal that he likes her too, since so many people in the class like her. It's just that he's grown up now and has someone else in his heart.

But liking someone is still too delicate. Even after so many years, no one will make a big fuss about it, for fear of accidentally revealing it.

"The whole school knew about it beforehand," Chu Zihang said casually. These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Lu Mingfei speechless and stunned.

The past is too painful to recall, just like being drunk. It's not that I'm afraid of someone getting drunk and acting crazy, it's that I'm afraid of someone reminding me of it.

"That was because I was young and ignorant." Lu Mingfei covered his face and chuckled dryly. He really hadn't checked the calendar today. He shouldn't have gone out.

"What's the big deal? You can like whoever you like, and there's nothing to be ashamed of if you don't. The key issue now is the head of the Uesugi family. What are you going to do about it?" Caesar didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed at all. He was just concerned about this matter as if he were a member of Erii's family.

Chu Zihang wasn't being gossipy; he simply saw himself in Lu Mingfei. From the first time he met Lu Mingfei at Kassel College, Lu Mingfei had been like a taut string, never relaxing even while playing games at Genji Heavy Industries.

Some people in the college say he has a cold, expressionless face, but Lu Mingfei is actually more like him.

There are two kinds of loneliest people: one kind wishes the whole world were as unlucky as him, and the other kind hopes that others can be happy, because seeing happy people makes him feel a little warm. Chu Zihang is the latter.

"Whatever, I'll be more careful in the future. Who knows, I might not be here anymore someday." Lu Mingfei shrugged. There's nothing shameful about running away; in fact, it's quite useful. Feelings aren't something you can just explain by liking someone. He doesn't have that kind of mindset right now.

Time flew by, and the diving expedition around Japan ended in just ten days. By the time they returned to Tokyo, apart from Shinjuku and Chiyoda Ward, the rest of Tokyo had completely resumed its commercial order.

The most prominent social characteristic of human groups is adaptation.

Back at Genji Heavy Industries, Minister Schneider immediately arranged for Masashi Tomiyama to provide online psychological counseling to Lu Mingfei. After all, prolonged solo deep-sea diving would be enough to drive any ordinary person to a mental breakdown. Lu Mingfei actually felt alright; with his Golden Eyes, it wasn't that dark underwater, and he only went into the sea for a maximum of an hour each day, so he could catch some seafood along the way for a barbecue.

After confirming Lu Mingfei's mental health, their group finally received leave notice.

This time, they no longer needed to sleep in the office. Taking advantage of the Shinjuku reconstruction, the Sheqi Hachike purchased the nearby Park Hyatt Hotel building at a low price and converted it into the Sheqi Hachike dormitory and ground entrance.

The guests were naturally assigned to the top-tier presidential executive suite.

"Now I can finally rest." Fingel did a somersault and rolled around several times on the spacious living room carpet.

When Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei went out on missions, Fingel and Nono were on standby at headquarters at all times to provide support and make contact with headquarters. They were on standby 24 hours a day.

In addition, after sleeping in the office for more than half a month, I almost smelled like a salted fish, a typical Japanese office worker.

"Who has any plans for tonight?" Fingel's eyes lit up, looking ready to go all out. He'd been in Japan for so long and hadn't even been to a bar yet, what a waste! It was a pity the Inuyama family suffered such heavy losses this time, otherwise he would have shamelessly gone up there to freeload.

"I have to go with Nono to Genji Heavy Industries to play games later." Caesar turned around and went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes.

"Infatuation and adultery, absence makes the heart grow fonder, it's all ruined." Fingel shook his head and sighed.

"I need to write an action report." Chu Zihang opened his laptop.

"Then write one for me too, thank you." Fingel knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude. "Don't look at me, I have to go fix the computer later, and besides, the two of us are broke, we can only go for a walk at most." Lu Mingfei shrugged.

Although they received funding and subsidies for their missions, the prices in Tokyo were outrageously high, and with their meager funds, going to places of entertainment was simply a pipe dream.

By the way, Okubo Park was right next to them, but it's now in ruins.

Upon hearing Lu Mingfei's speech about being poor and lacking ambition, Fingel completely wilted and turned to leave.

"Looks like I'd better hurry downstairs to the cafeteria for a free dinner."

-

Following Google Maps, Lu Mingfei arrived at the narrow streets of Shibuya Ward. Neon signs and logos lined the buildings on both sides like menus, a dazzling array of sights. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, this was a city that had almost become ruins.

However, he didn't really want to go out and explore; he preferred to just sit in the sky and daydream.

The more bustling the place, the more likely it is to make people feel a strong sense of clarity, unlike the liveliness of an internet cafe, because you know that these new things and bustling scenes have nothing to do with you.

The longer I stayed, the more lonely I felt.

After walking around and stopping frequently, I finally found my destination through an unfamiliar Japanese sign and told them my repair needs.

The shopkeeper gave Lu Mingfei a strange look. In the past few days, countless appliances in Tokyo had become obsolete; buying new ones was far more cost-effective than repairing them. Yet Lu Mingfei insisted on keeping as many usable parts as possible. He'd met many people who were sentimental, but surely that wasn't necessary for appliances?

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei was prepared and pulled out his black card, practically wearing his wealth and capriciousness on his sleeve.

The boss immediately beamed and began disassembling the computer, bowing and scraping. He worked for most of the night, not even missing a single capacitor, practically resoldering a whole new motherboard for Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei left the house satisfied, carrying his computer. In a way, the computer was his lifeline.

Just as Lu Mingfei stepped out the door, his phone suddenly rang, and it was his signature emergency ringtone.

Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, I received a notification that I was required to urgently return to Genji Heavy Industries for a meeting.

"I've got news from Norton. I'll be right back."

Please take one day off.

First, I apologize. I know that Dragon Raja has fallen apart, and the storylines are now broken. The main problem is that Lu Mingfei's own blood sorrow lacks motivation without the unrequited love storyline, so it looks very awkward.

As for the lack of growth potential, if there were too much growth, it wouldn't have the flavor of Lu Mingfei's decline and the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments). Besides, Lu Mingfei was too invincible and had too smooth a life in Douluo Continent, so he couldn't grow much.

Next, I plan to write about Marvel. The story of Iron Man is very instructive for Lu Mingfei, and it can maintain the humorous and satirical style as well as the growth aspect.

The key issue is that Lu Mingfei's personality isn't really suited to any harem or palace-building scenarios, since Lu Mingfei is completely incompatible with decisive and ruthless tactics. A more suitable scenario would be "Covering the Sky," but that's a bit too far off, so it has to be a later one.

I also considered writing a novel about a mortal's journey to immortality, but after looking around, I found that there weren't many high-quality books on the site, and since it didn't involve any explicit content, it didn't seem like there was much to write about, so I gave up on that idea.

If anyone has other suggestions, please share them so I can consider them.

Please continue to support me, I will definitely write well, thank you!
