Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!
Chapter 44 Lu Mingfei's Distant Horizon
After finishing his part-time job performing swordplay that day, Lu Mingfei, with a whole-wheat bread for dinner in his mouth, rode the bicycle he had borrowed from the children's palace coach and seven hundred-yuan bills in his pocket, and stopped in front of a newly opened Couture cake shop.
The two coaches were nice people; they not only gave him an extra 20 yuan a day but also prepaid him for seven days' wages, and said they would give him a red envelope later.
Then... after wandering around inside and checking the prices, Lu Mingfei slunk out.
He came to the wrong store; he was too short on cash to afford it.
He might have to go to some university in the US in the future, and tuition fees will be a big problem. He needs to save some money in advance just in case. With his academic performance, he might not be able to get any subsidies or allowances.
He used to think that the mixed-race people at Kassel College valued bloodlines and strength, so he wasn't too worried. But after returning from the Beijing subway station, he realized something was wrong.
Percy is stronger than Caesar and definitely has an S-class level of skill, but he seems to be just a secretary in the Gattuso family.
Fingel can chase Percy in the subway, but he describes himself as a loser, and when he was mentioned in Genji Heavy Industries, he was also called a loser in school.
These two with high combat skills seem to be doing rather poorly... Does the hybrid race world still only value academic performance? Thinking this, Lu Mingfei broke out in a cold sweat.
How can I, who can't afford to go to university, slay dragons, kill servants, and make friends?
But then I thought about it again and it didn't seem right. Fingel had said that he was very good at computer science.
Lu Mingfei was a little confused about what was going on in Kassel, so he prepared to continue riding his bike to find other cake shops.
Scout out the location beforehand and plan how much you'll be spending soon.
他的生日是7月17,独立出来后自己得给自己买个蛋糕,他生日7天后是7月24……
"Brother, are you going to buy me a cake?"
A faint sound suddenly came from the back of the bicycle.
Without even turning his head, Lu Mingfei knew who it was: "Go away, do you really think this poor relative who eats and takes from me is related to me by blood?"
His friendship with this devil was strange, both inexplicable and... quite natural.
"I know you're short of money, so I came to help you. I'm here to bring you good fortune; all I need is a hug," Lu Mingze said, looking aggrieved.
Lu Mingfei thought about it and still refused the devil's gift: "It's not that I'm desperately short of money. I just need enough for the travel expenses. I have one last way to make money when I get to university."
Lu Mingze asked in confusion, "What method?"
"Don't you know me well? Of course I'll sell my own scandalous rumors." Lu Mingfei glanced at Lu Mingze sitting in the back seat. "Finger said he made $8000 from my rumored relationship with Chen Wenwen. Wouldn't I, as the person in question, make up a character and release my own scandalous rumors to make even more money?"
"...Brother, you've really gone completely shameless these days."
After Lu Mingze finished speaking, he reminded her, "But that little bit of money isn't enough. Kassel is a capitalist paradise, full of rich young men and women with dirty blood flowing through their veins."
"We'll see... It's still uncertain when I'll go to Kassel. In some places, the wealthy can keep lions as pets, call them big cats, and pamper them like family members. But when they see a lion in the wild, they will all draw their hunting rifles without hesitation." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes. He didn't have much affection for this school that was secretly monitoring him.
He knew, of course, that the little money he earned was insignificant compared to what he considered Kassel school.
"You're more than just a lion now. Even a lion will retreat after a standoff with a large number of malicious hyenas or hunters. But you're just breaking off two branches from the chinaberry tree and rushing in to 'show your hands.' You're practically a Tyrannosaurus Rex with its eyes tied."
Lu Mingfei sensed something was off: "I feel like you're subtly belittling me. When things go wrong and I shouldn't be fighting, I run faster than anyone else, okay? I'm not stupid. Is using the Tyrannosaurus Rex as a metaphor for a dragon-slaying university appropriate?"
"Don't worry, according to my reliable inside information, you won't just have one dinosaur friend when you enroll at Kassel College. You'll also see Triceratops, Troodon, Parasaurolophus, and Pyrodontia..."
Before Lu Mingze could finish speaking, Lu Mingfei interrupted him: "Did some strange dragon sneak in there? Don't lie to me, I read a dinosaur encyclopedia when I was a kid."
Feeling something poke his waist, Lu Mingfei turned around and saw Lu Mingze holding a document in both hands like a secretary.
"Boss, sign here. This is the money I gave you, and this is a gift in return for the meteor shower you showed me last night."
"..." Lu Mingfei opened the document and saw his uncle and aunt's names. This was a lawsuit filed against them for dereliction of duty in guardianship.
"You just need to sign, or it doesn't matter if you don't sign. Just show your attitude and the rest is my business. My 'lawyers,' who are as fierce as wolves, are already rubbing their hands together outside their community gate to get back the child support, what's rightfully yours."
Lu Mingze handed over a pen and pointed to the difficult-to-understand clauses one by one: "Actually, your uncle had the idea of contacting you once today, but you don't have a cell phone and it was difficult to call. He wandered around outside the community for a couple of times before his wife forcibly called him home to prepare vegetables. His only gains outside were two bags of salt, a box of discounted bagged milk, and half a pound of Cantonese sausage. They had a pretty good meal of four dishes and two soups today."
"It sounds like he's had quite a bit of success going out there, it can't be described as 'unique.' Sometimes he's a bit slow on the uptake, so I just have Lu Mingze message me on QQ... I'm talking about my cousin, but Lu Mingze will definitely tell my aunt." Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, his pen hovering over the paper.
If it were just his aunt, he certainly wouldn't hesitate. But facing his uncle, he was confused and couldn't bring himself to write. That somewhat cowardly middle-aged man had some feelings for him, but he never dared to or wanted to upset his wife for his nephew's sake.
Perhaps it's understandable, but there's no need to understand it.
Everyone has their own path; from now on, let's all avoid that one.
"Leave half for them... never mind, I don't know exactly how much is left, just make sure they don't go into debt because of it."
"Brother, you're actually too kind. If they were willing to cut back on big expenses, they wouldn't have gone bankrupt and could live happily. But luckily, I'm not a very kind person. I don't like it when anyone you know shares my name." The devil chuckled. "If you don't care about them, then it doesn't matter."
It's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and it's difficult to control one's desires.
People who are used to spending money lavishly will find it difficult to return to their former lifestyle. No one in that family is capable of adjusting their lifestyle with ease. In terms of personality, the outcome is often already predetermined.
"I...I'm sorry, I still need to work on my problem-solving skills." Lu Mingfei understood a little of Lu Mingze's implication. After thinking about it, he looked seriously into Lu Mingze's amused eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he signed the document: "But don't do anything unnecessary and waste our time. I don't want to have any contact with them anymore. It's a good scenario for one side to shed its burdens and the other to be reborn, and for everyone to move on to a better new life. If you mess things up, I'll feel guilty... Could you bring me my old mouse?"
That mouse was the one he used to use, and he couldn't bear to replace it. He also didn't want his cousin to throw it in the trash after he left.
The devil smiled without saying a word, it's unclear whether he listened to the warning not to mess around.
