Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

Huai Xu walked over and squatted down in front of Lu Mingfei.

He placed his hands on Lu Mingfei's shoulders, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly:

"Think, Mom! Think!"

Lu Mingfei looked at him, somewhat puzzled. What did he mean?

"Wouldn't we be safe if we just killed everyone else?"

After saying this, Huai Xu didn't wait for Lu Mingfei's reaction. He unloaded all the bullets from his gun and loaded them into Lu Mingfei's gun.

Since I can't hit it anyway, keeping it is a waste.

Lu Mingfei looked at the gun in his hand, which was loaded with bullets, but he wasn't very interested.

"Let's go."

Huai Xu dusted off his pants and stood up.

Lu Mingfei didn't move.

"What's wrong?"

"The Preface to the Locust Trees"

"Um."

"Why does it have to be a fight to the death?"

Lu Mingfei stared at Nuonuo's body, his eyes a mixture of confusion and exhaustion. "Can't we all just live peacefully? Why don't we... each go our own way, and nobody bother with anyone else?"

Huai Xu tucked the empty gun back into his waistband. "Mingfei, although your mother also hopes that you can live a healthy and happy life, many things in this world are beyond human control."

"It wasn't us who harmed them, it was this chaotic world that harmed them."

"What do you mean?"

"You die, I live. It's that simple."

Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, "But we don't need to..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.

Huai Xu remained silent.

The room remained quiet for a long time.

Occasionally, shouts could be heard from afar outside the window, but they were all very faint.

Huai Xu suddenly spoke up: "Then what am I doing all this for?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.

"I killed so many people all this time, just so you could..." Huai Xu paused, his voice lower than usual, "But now..."

"What do you think I'm doing?"

Lu Mingfei turned to look at him: "Huai Xu?"

Huai Xu didn't look at him; his gaze was fixed on a distant spot outside the window.

"You're so smart and talented. That's why I've worked so hard to nurture you."

He paused, then said, "If you don't want to live anymore, what should I do?"

Lu Mingfei lowered his head: "I shouldn't have said that... I'm sorry..."

“Nobody believes in you,” Huai Xu interrupted him, “which is why we have to prove them wrong.”

He stood up, walked up to Lu Mingfei, and looked down at him: "Mom hopes you will work hard and become the strongest."

"Climb to the top of the ara-saka."

"Climb to the top of the dragon race."

"Climb to the top of the world."

Lu Mingfei looked at him, speechless for a long time.

After a while, he finally made a sound.

"Arasaka... what is that?"

Huai Xu was stunned for a moment.

"It's... a very tall tower."

"Where?"

"In Japan."

"Have you been there?"

"no."

"Then you'll let me climb to the top?"

Huai Xu thought for a moment, "That's not important. What's important is that you have to climb to the top."

Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, "Then can you use a different analogy? For example... Mount Everest or something? The name Arasaka Tower sounds weird, like some unfinished building by a real estate developer."

"Okay, Mount Everest is fine too."

"Then why would I climb to the top of Mount Everest?"

"Stand there."

"What are you doing standing there?"

"Let the whole world see you."

"..."

Forget it.

Anyway, this thing has always been like this.

After Huai Xu finished speaking, he realized what had happened.

Why did I suddenly tell him all this?

While it reflects his usual mental state, the lines...

No, that's not the point.

The point is that these words don't seem to be what he wanted to say.

It was as if... something was pushing him, urging him to speak.

Huai Xu frowned and suppressed the thought for the time being.

Oh well, I've already said it anyway.

The effect was alright; Lu Mingfei looked much more energetic than before.

Outside the window, the gunfire was sporadic, like guerrilla warfare, completely different from the initial barrage of fire.

It seems the battle is nearing its end.

Huai Xu patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

"It's okay, Mom."

"It's okay if you can't bring yourself to do it. I will make you happy."

The words had barely left his mouth—

【Ding! 】

[Achievement unlocked: "Mom's Expectations"]

"Mom hopes you can reach the top of Arasaka!"

[Achievement Reward: 1 related keyword]

Huai Xu was stunned for a moment.

Does this work too?

He didn't do anything, he just talked a few words, so how did he unlock an achievement?

Never mind, as long as there's a reward, that's fine.

[Entry extraction in progress...]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained an R-level entry!]

[David Day (R): "Look! Mom! I'm standing on top of the Arasaka Tower!"]

[Action Effect: Your body gains the "Prosthetic Body" trait]

"Prosthetic Body King Kong": Your body has a hot-swappable function, allowing you to instantly restore your body to its original state after a new limb is attached, and it is ready to use immediately. Furthermore, your body will not reject foreign organs or limbs.

[Side effect: The more non-human organs or limbs you have on your body, the closer you are to cyberbullying.]

Current mental state: -5% (constantly present)

After reading the entry's description, Huai Xu remained silent for about three seconds.

Hot-swappable.

It's ready to use as soon as you plug it in.

It will not cause rejection.

Isn't this just a rip-off of Naruto where they gouge out the Sharingan and use it directly?

No, people who aren't from the Uchiha clan need to be suppressed using Hashirama cells, but he doesn't even have that prerequisite.

You can simply detach someone else's arm and attach it to your own body; it's ready to use on the spot.

Gouge out someone else's eyes and stuff them into your own eye sockets, and you'll see immediately.

If you take someone else's heart out and put it in your own chest cavity, it will start beating immediately.

What the hell is this ultimate Frankenstein's monster ability?

Moreover, the side effects are quite direct—a 5% decrease in mental state, which is a constant concern.

With each additional organ taken from someone else, his mental state continued to decline.

If it drops to a certain level, it will turn into cyberpsychosis.

He would kill anyone he saw, showing no mercy even to his own family.

"Alright."

Huai Xu closed the panel. "At least it's a life-saving skill."

If I ever lose an arm, I can just pick up any other one and put it on.

Although the thought of that scene is indeed disgusting, it's still better than being Yang Guo.

"Huai Xu," Lu Mingfei's voice came from the side, "what did you mean by the happiness you just mentioned?"

"It means exactly what it says."

Could you please explain more clearly?

"If you explain everything clearly, it's no longer happiness."

"..."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and decided not to ask any more questions.

Outside the window, it had already gotten dark.

The lights in the corridor were dim and intermittent, making the red "bloodstains" on the ground appear and disappear.

Huai Xu walked to the window and peeked out.

There were many people lying haphazardly in the corridor, some in red and some in green, all of whom had been shot down by Friga.

"That's about enough. Come on, Mom."

"Where to?"

"go out."

"Where are you going out to?"

Huai Xu opened the door, glanced back at Lu Mingfei, and said, "I'll make you famous throughout the world."
