Lu Mingfei, become the king of gambling in dungeons!

Chapter 97 The Eye of Nidhogg (Part 4)

Lu Mingfei quickly realized something was wrong; this "Shilan Immortal Herb Gathering" seemed to involve multiple financial transactions and ranking activities.

Buying and trading photos in the group will earn you a ticket and the right to vote for your favorite male idol to climb the rankings, provided you spend a certain amount.

The top three sponsors in the vote will also receive a special privilege: they can designate one of their friends and force them to receive a photo they like from that friend.

Chu Zihang always tops the list of male gods, making this list essentially correspond to the "List of Heinous Criminals Deserving to Be Killed".

This reminded Lu Mingfei of the flower tickets in the "Takamagahara Host Club".

Not only can you spend money on tickets, but you can also play the "Steal a Sheep" game in the Three Kingdoms Kill card game in this group.

He thought to himself, "Some newspapers say that Tokyo's economy is so developed and that people spend so much money on entertainment, but now it seems that's all there is to it. The host clubs are just playing the same games as the young girls in Shilan."

This Jormungandr is a genius at making money through fandoms. You can vote once for every ten or so yuan you spend here, which is a great deal for the Shilan ladies.

From now on, we need to keep Senior Brother Chu away from this scoundrel. He not only deceives people emotionally, but also uses them to make money. Lu Mingfei scrolled through the chat history. He knew without a doubt that this Dragon King was rolling in money. He even had the nerve to pretend to be poor and call himself a working girl on QQ Space.

Chu Zihang has so many everyday photos circulating in the group; he's probably the culprit. As the group admin, Xia Mi must have taken a lot of benefits from the girls; no wonder she doesn't dare show her face on QQ Space.

Lu Mingfei was flipping through the past rankings with great interest when he suddenly realized that the photo of the second-place winner looked strangely familiar since the first semester of his senior year.

The second-place name looked familiar. It just so happened that the surname was Lu, the given name was Mingfei, the person had lion-like eyes, and the person loved to sleep in class. Lu Mingfei stared at the glowing phone screen, lost in thought.

Although he didn't do too badly in school, he shouldn't have been treated like a star by everyone.

He consistently ranked second, always defeating Zhao Menghua, who ranked third, by a narrow margin.

In the latest rankings, he has firmly secured second place, leaving Zhao Menghua far behind. His votes are even close to half of Chu Zihang's. It should be noted that previously, the combined votes of him and Zhao Menghua did not even reach half of Chu Zihang's.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that he had consistently ranked second because of a QQ user named "Rosa".

Roseira's big spender has been manipulating votes for her, possibly hired by Xia Mi. If there are too few people on the list, the competition for votes won't be fierce enough.

In the most recent poll, he truly deserved his place; Liu Miaomiao, a popular and wealthy young woman who was an administrator in both groups, voted for him quite a bit. Among the recent voters, he also saw Chen Wenwen, who had used a little-known alternate account to cast her votes.

Lu Mingfei's lips unconsciously curled up as he felt he had gotten a good deal, but his expression froze as he smiled.

Not a single penny of that money ended up in his hands.

He didn't care who voted for him, and he didn't really care about these classmates. The attention they received only made him happy for a few minutes. What he was really concerned about was the King of Earth and Mountains making money off him.

If you're going to take advantage of them, why not share some of the profits privately?

This trouble must be dealt with; robbing the Dragon King's money is tantamount to robbing the rich to help the poor.

Lu Mingfei sat down next to the phone booth, his scattered thoughts calming down a bit. He put down his phone and, as usual, began to space out.

This place was like the rooftop he used to love, a place where he could briefly escape reality.

He already has access to dreams, although his access is currently quite limited, but he can help someone recover their dream experience afterward.

He wanted to restore Erii's health, but he was also a little uneasy. He felt that this would be taking it upon himself to make decisions for someone else. He didn't mind making decisions for strangers, but did he have the right to make decisions for someone he was truly close to?

What if this causes negative consequences?

He is a somewhat selfish person, but now he is hesitant.

The long-accumulated fatigue finally erupted; it was a fatigue born from the heart, so tired that it felt like my heart couldn't even beat anymore.

He recalled a piece of inspirational advice he had once heard: "It's wonderful when two patients sympathize with each other, but at least one of them needs to become a doctor, and it would be even better if both of them became doctors."

If a complex intimate relationship is to continue beautifully, one person must first be prepared to become a doctor.

So Lu Mingfei made up his mind that he would go to Japan as soon as possible to find Erii, to tell the girl that he had companions who were willing to go out with him, and to tell her that they had been friends for a while.

As for whether or not to remember their trip to Tokyo together, Lu Mingfei decided to leave the choice to Erii. He would tell the girl his personal reasons and hoped that she would choose to believe in his sincerity.

Ascending to the rank of half-blood king, figuring out the details of Kassel College, and finding Erii in Japan—he has quite a few things to do in reality, but he already holds power and influence. He can even defeat the Black King's larva in his dreams, so there shouldn't be many beings in reality who can cause him trouble.

Lu Mingze was probably right. His actions in the dungeon were essentially exploiting a bug. Clearing the old level but not seeing the new one was the punishment; he was banned from the game for seven days.

However, it's hard to say whether it's a punishment or a reward now.

He can focus on doing what he needs to do during these seven days.

"Lu Mingze, why are you back again? Are you trying to scare me by hiding behind me?" Sensing something, Lu Mingfei turned around irritably.

There was no one behind him; he couldn't find the elusive little devil.

"If you keep doing this, I'll use the sound of a clapper to cut off our connection—damn, I forgot to bring it with me. There should be a way to get this out there, right?"

No one responded to him, but only Lu Mingze could give him that sense of familiarity. He really wasn't in the mood to play hide-and-seek with his cheap little brother right now.

His heart suddenly stopped beating, and he was stunned for a moment.

Actually, this "standby screen" is very similar to the Nibelungen in the Beijing subway station, exuding an aura of death and composed of dead objects.

It may be on a much higher level than Nibelungen, the land of the king of mountains and earth, but it is essentially the same thing.

In this Nibelungen, which may be the size of a planet, there are only two living creatures. Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he had overlooked the other one in the past two days.

Looking up, he saw a huge golden eye, as dazzling as the sun, shining brightly in the dark clouds above.

The black dragon had grown larger than before, and there seemed to be moving mountain ranges of mist and clouds in the clouds.

It coils in the atmosphere of this planet, moving like a serpent, its tail trailing behind it, soaring over the city, clearly distinct from Lu Mingfei's territory.
