Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!

Lu Mingze paused for a moment, then chuckled, "If you were facing your uncle's chubby son, you should say, 'Mingze, I'm Xiyang,' to build rapport."

"Mingze, I am Xiyang." Lu Mingfei admitted his mistake and corrected it.

The boy sighed: "...You really have no sense of propriety or shame anymore."

Lu Mingfei didn't mind being evaluated like that. He just wanted to be alone and space out, and he didn't want any trouble from any gods or Buddhas: "Life has just worn down my edges. Try being tortured for two years and you'll see how much energy you have to stay serious."

It's exhausting to always pretend to be serious, especially in front of a girl you like, unless you're naturally a very serious and upright person.

He sat with his back against the phone booth, staring wistfully at the boy.

It's really strange. Just when you're feeling lonely, this guy suddenly appears out of nowhere, using your cousin's name in a bizarre way, and seems to know you quite well.

Yet, I can't bring myself to dislike them at all. I still feel the same sense of freedom and security that I have when I'm alone, and it's as if there's no one else around.

The two fell silent, neither looking at the other. Lu Mingze stood up and leaned against the glass of the red-covered phone booth, while Lu Mingfei plopped down on the gray curb next to him.

The clock hands showed no sign of turning.

If you sit here in a daze for too long, you'll lose your sense of time.

Lu Mingfei's mind, which had drifted to the highest heavens, gradually returned. He was not very proactive in adapting to changes in life, but after realizing that he was powerless to change them, he would often space out for a while before accepting new things.

"You heartless... devilish brother, was it you who orchestrated my dream about the future dungeon game?" he asked softly.

He still remembered that the nickname he had given the other person in Genji Heavy Industries was "Black-hearted turtle bastard profiteer little devil". Hmm, he suddenly felt that this was not such a distant nickname.

"Are you going to ask such a serious question right off the bat? Of course not."

Lu Mingze innocently spread his palms, "If it weren't for you releasing me, brother, I would find it difficult to even occasionally leave prison to visit my family."

"Is your suspicion based on the dream attribute data in my panel?" He pointed to the data above his head. "It's really not me. Although our power and strength are basically the same... the actual gap between us is greater than the gap between Jormungandr and Fenrir."

"You can see the panel?" Lu Mingfei asked, a little wary.

"In my dreams, you and I sometimes share the same perspective, I mean temporarily."

Lu Mingze's "obedient" manner of answering every question only deepened Lu Mingfei's suspicions. As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch or a favor without a reason.

This one attack is equivalent to N attacks on Genji Heavy Industries; he also now has two Words of Power.

"Word of Power: Vampire Scythe" and "Word of Power: Emperor".

Seeing the reward arrive, Lu Mingfei turned his attention to it. "Word of Power: Emperor" sounded like a super-powerful Word of Power with a very high strength. He seemed to have used it when fighting Fenrir. It must be the kind with high burst damage, wide range, and low consumption.

No, you can't tell just by the name. "Word of Power: Royal Authority" sounds supermodel-like and cool, but in reality, the one that Genji uses is quite down-to-earth and approachable.

The only downside is that this dungeon doesn't drop evolution potions.

Under normal circumstances, I already have the physical qualities I had when I took evolution drugs to the limit but most of the effects didn't come out. Super hybrid... maybe it's the same as the emperor, or maybe there are some differences.

The system's current assessment of him is that he is a fairly standard super hybrid based on all aspects. His own intuitive feeling is that he should be no weaker than Emperor Genji.

Lu Mingze, ever the friendly type, leaned in and said, "The real gem that dropped this time is 'The Old Covenant of Earth and Mountains.'"

This actually lessened Lu Mingfei's vigilance a bit, and he asked suspiciously, "You can see the settlement details too?"

There's no need to defend against someone you can't defend against.

We've given up, we've given up.

This thing isn't some kind of "second personality" or "superego"—it's not some kind of fantastical thing that actually has a scientific basis.

"We'll share a perspective for now in this dream. If you don't want me to watch, I won't watch anymore," Lu Mingze shrugged.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a few seconds: "You don't care about the reward, but don't leave things unsaid. What's the use of the 'Old Testament of the Earth and Mountains'? Will this piece of paper covered in tadpole-like script transform me into the King of the Earth and Mountains?"

He had taken out the "Old Testament of the Earth and the Mountains" from his backpack. It was a withered bark paper with intricate, dog-scrawl-like characters that resembled the outstretched branches of an ancient tree.

Calling it tadpole script is an overestimation.

Lu Mingze nodded without hesitation.

"Eh?"

"Wow, it really can change..." Lu Mingfei looked down in bewilderment.

From now on, he will be Mingfei, the King of Roads, Earth and Mountains.

Without keeping Lu Mingze in suspense, he sat down on the curb next to Lu Mingfei and began to explain:

"This is a flaw left over from the beginning of creation; each of the four monarchs has a corresponding 'Old Testament' on its throne, concerning the preservation of authority."

"The complete elemental controllers of the first four domains can cancel all words of power, but for the monarchs, even if they devour each other, they are not complete, only nine-tenths of the elemental controllers, and can never compare to the Black King and the White King... The White King's spiritual authority is similar, but spiritual authority is the fifth elemental authority, far superior to the other authorities. Controlling half of it is already incredibly powerful."

"Using the 'Old Testament' will grant you temporary control over the remaining one-tenth of the land and mountains. It's not a one-time thing, but with your current strength, using it will at most grant you the power of a slightly stronger second-generation species in terms of attack techniques. You won't be able to hatch a powerful dragon body. This thing is the shackle code of the four monarchs, not a transformation device like the 'Evolution Truster' or anything like that."

Lu Mingfei touched the slightly hot, rock-gray bark in his hand thoughtfully, thinking to himself that no wonder the combined authority over the earth and mountains held by Jormungandr and Fenrir didn't reach a whole number.

But since it's a drop from a dungeon, it must have been obtained from a boss.

What does this mean? It's a bit like the inheritance left to you is locked up, but the key has been secretly thrown at you. If you're capable, you can find the key yourself, unlock the lock, and claim the inheritance. If you're not capable, the inheritance will just go down the drain.

Are all dragons this inflexible? I suppose Jormungandr and Fenrir are the more incompetent kind.

"The dragon slayers don't understand dragons at all. Dragons, like humans, were originally just children who came to this world. Of course, children should be treated in a special way." Lu Mingze suddenly felt a little emotional about this topic, resting his chin on his hand as if he was thinking about something.

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that had been bothering him: "Dragon King... I mean, are there only eight Great Monarchs and Eight Great Kings?"

Perhaps it was a hidden doubt about himself.

He wanted to ask if there was a king of cowardice and utter nonsense, or a similar name that could be considered legitimate. If so, he would definitely take the title.

But in the end, I didn't choose to ask directly. I felt that I wouldn't get a straight answer anyway. You have to deal with the devil in a roundabout way. After all, devils are all wicked and evil guys, just like Mephistopheles, the "eternal denialist" in Faust.

"Oh, I just remembered something very important."

Lu Mingze suddenly changed the subject, his bright eyes blinking, "Brother, it's almost my birthday, right after this sunset."
