Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

Chapter 42 Huai Xu's high school grades were not ideal.

a few days later.

Chicago.

Huai Xu and Lu Mingfei sat side by side on a bench at the train station, each holding a hot dog and with two bottles of cola at their feet.

Lu Mingfei had three suitcases and a backpack piled up, making it seem like he was about to immigrate.

Huai Xu only brought... nothing else...

We'll buy clothes there, we'll buy household goods there, we'll buy everything there.

Anyway, he has money now.

Having money means you can do whatever you want.

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"Um."

Why do you look so pale?

"Is there?"

Huai Xu took a bite of the hot dog, chewing it expressionlessly. "You've got it wrong."

Lu Mingfei turned to look at him. "Your eyes are dark, your lips are pale, and you're walking unsteadily..."

"Do you have kidney deficiency?"

"fart."

Huai Xu took a sip of cola without changing his expression. "I'm just jet-lagged."

"Jet lag? We arrived yesterday afternoon, and you slept all night and all day in the hotel. What jet lag are you talking about?"

"What's it to you?"

I'm too lazy to explain the Huaixu.

Can he say that he and his three mothers have been playing Genshin Impact day and night for the past few days?

Can we say that crazy girl Su Xiaoqiang dragged him to farm artifacts for three whole days by herself?

Can we say that Chen Wenwen looks quiet and gentle, but she becomes shrouded in blue silver as soon as she enters the game?

Can we say that Liu Miaomiao is usually the most shy, but that night she spent the whole night playing Sheng Hai with him?

he can not……

"Seriously," Lu Mingfei leaned closer again, "that blonde girl from that night..."

"I don't know, I don't recognize them, I'm not sure."

"I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"I'll give the same answer after you've finished speaking."

"Just tell me her name!"

"have no idea."

"How old is she?"

"have no idea."

What does she like?

"have no idea."

Does she have a boyfriend?

"I don't know, I ...."

Huai Xu stuffed the last bite of the hot dog into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it. "I just wrote a script, rented dozens of cars, and hired security personnel. That woman was a temporary actress hired by the security company; I've never even seen her face."

Lu Mingfei's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Is that so..."

Huai Xu glanced at him, feeling a little guilty.

But that slight feeling of guilt was quickly dispelled by Lu Mingfei's next words.

"Could you give me the contact information for that security company?"

"..."

Huai Xu decided to block Lu Mingfei.

He opened the system panel and began to tally up his gains over the past few days.

First is Lu Mingfei.

The approval rating has finally increased, from 55% to 61%.

It had been stuck for a month without moving, but after I showed off that night, it jumped 6 points.

It seems that the highest level of being a mother is not about showing concern and care, but about helping her son appear blessed.

【"The Little Match Girl" (R) → "The Nightingale and the Rose" (SR)】

【"The Nightingale and the Rose" (SR): "She sings of love completed by death, of love that is immortal even in the grave."】

[Affix Effect: Costs 1/3 of health to boost Strength, Physical Strength, Regeneration, Reaction Speed, and Defense to the next-generation level for 20 minutes. During this time, all Word of Power effects are reduced by 60% within a 20-meter radius of the host.]

[Side effect: Forced weakness for 7 days after use, during which time the user is unable to move]

Huai Xu carefully examined the upgraded effects.

Previously, it cost 2/3 of your life for 30 minutes.

It now costs 1/3 of your life, lasting 20 minutes.

The cost is halved, the duration is not much shorter, and the area effect of the weakened Word of Power is increased by 10%.

Although you still have to lie down for a week after using it once, at least it's not such a waste.

Then comes the upgraded version of "Why aren't you like a cat yet?"

【"Hurry up and become like a cat" (SR)】

[Action Effect: Saying "Meow meow meow~" consumes the user's life force, moderately reducing the target's recovery speed and causing them to slowly lose life force. Consuming 1 year of life force can cause the target to lose 7-14 days of their natural lifespan within one month.]

Previously it was "3-7 days", now it is "7-14 days".

It doubled.

But it's still a useless skill.

Who would yell "meow meow meow" during a fight?

Shameless?

Finally, there is a newly added term.

【"Crawling in the Shadows" (SR)】

[Action Effect: Issues the command "I don't want to die yet!" to yourself or others, consuming your/other's life force to greatly increase the target's recovery speed.]

A parody of Lu Mingfei's "Don't die".

It consumes life force to increase recovery speed, which can save your life in critical moments.

Although the entry name and trigger phrase are abstract, the effect is still quite practical.

I just don't know if, when using this on someone else, I need to point to their eyes and sincerely say, "I'm a little mouse, I don't want to die yet."

Just imagining that scene made Huai Xu feel like he had already suffered social death.

Forget it.

Anyway, he's shameless.

After closing Lu Mingfei's entry page, Huai Xu looked at the panels of the other three mothers.

Su Xiaoqiang 97%.

Liu Miaomiao 94%.

Then there's Chen Wenwen.

100%.

These past few days, he and his three mothers have been working day and night on the map, searching for treasure chests, and the results have been outstanding.

Especially Chen Wenwen.

This usually shy and artistic girl is actually more enthusiastic about playing Genshin Impact than Su Xiaoqiang.

And she is indeed a very sexy... oh no... sensual person.

Not only does he never let Huai Xu bring Zhong Li to provide a shield, but he also starts crying every time he gets hit by a monster and is almost out of health...

Su Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, was all talk and no action.

She always claims she can beat the BOSS, but she can't even position herself properly and gets killed in a few hits. Then she comes to Huai Xu for help.

Liu Miaomiao remained as quiet as ever. It was her first time playing such a high-end AAA game, and she had no idea how to operate it. In the end, Huai Xu had to teach her step by step.

"Here, do you see that? These are the movement keys, WASD."

"Is this...the place?"

"Okay, press it once, yes, a little lighter, move forward."

"so?"

"Oh, right."

It's only because Huai Xu was young, vigorous, and had a good constitution that he survived. If it were an ordinary person with such a strong constitution, they would have died suddenly long ago.

However, it is true that he is currently unsteady on his feet.

It seems I'll have to find a muscular mom as soon as I get to Kassel to see if I can get some stat boosts.

Otherwise, if there are more mothers later on, they will inevitably lack energy.

cough cough...

Although he still has his female ghost form, it's a bit strange to use that form to play games with his mother online.

Moreover, this disguise cannot be revealed yet, in case Lu Mingfei discovers the blonde beauty he's been longing for one day...

Forget it, I don't want to.

[Chen Wenwen's approval rating: 100%]

You have one chance to upgrade the level of your current gold-tier affix (probability: 0.01%). Would you like to use this chance?

"..."

"Never mind, let's keep it for now."

Huai Xu chickened out.
