Dragon Raja: Back from Tiling, My Mother Lu Mingfei

The helicopter hadn't been flying for long.

The phone rang again.

Huai Xu looked down and saw that it was hot. The moment the call connected, the old man's voice came through.

"Huai Xu, something's come up. How far are you from the mission location?"

Huai Xu looked up and asked the pilot in front of him.

"About sixty kilometers. The rain is too heavy and visibility is too low; it's not safe to go any faster. Estimated fourteen minutes," the pilot said without turning his head.

Huai Xu recounted the situation.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Okay," Angers responded. "I'll coordinate with the front lines. You can decide how to handle things once you get there."

beep - beep - beep -

The phone hangs up.

Huai Xu put down his phone.

We'll see how things go.

That's a very good point.

In layman's terms: I don't know what's going on over there. You decide for yourself. If you can get it, great; if not, forget about it.

Huai Xu closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the situation on the other side of the Three Gorges.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Sheng and Aki have already obtained Constantine's "cocoon".

But on the way back, the Bronze City suddenly came to life and turned into a maze.

The walls moved on their own, the passageways changed on their own, and the path they had walked on disappeared in the blink of an eye. Their safety ropes were cut, they were running out of oxygen, and they were being chased and gnawed at by a dragon named Samson.

Ye Sheng died inside, and after sending the things up, Aki also perished.

Both of them are gone.

The key now is to get them out of the maze...

Then I'll go down and kill the dragon servant...

To escape the maze... in the original story, it was through Lu Mingfei's cheat codes.

But it's different now.

He is a "ten-year veteran".

"Dude."

Huai Xu patted the pilot's seat in front of him. "Do you have a computer here? The kind that can connect to the internet?"

The pilot hesitated for a moment, "Yes, we do... but these are military-grade..."

"Let me borrow it for just ten minutes."

The pilot hesitated for a moment, "Well... I need to ask my superiors."

"This is a serious problem; lives are at stake."

The pilot communicated with the ground via the onboard communication system for a few seconds, and after a few seconds of silence, the ground replied with "agree".

Then he pulled a black laptop from under his seat and handed it to him.

Huai Xu took it, turned it on, unlocked it, and the interface was Windows Vista...

Okay, in 08, Vista was considered top-of-the-line.

He logged into the Kassel College's internal system and connected with the college secretary, Eva.

[Good evening, Huai Xu. How can I help you?]

"Eva, I need a real-time updated 3D underwater map of Bronze City."

[Permissions confirmed... Data retrieved...]

[Retrieved]

On the screen, a constantly changing 3D map of Bronze City slowly generates.

"Convert the 3D image into...game visuals."

Please specify your instructions.

"It's just..." Huai Xu thought for a moment, "to make it a small map mode similar to 'Eudemons Online' in MMOs. Top-down view, 2.5D."

[Converted]

The bronze city on the screen transformed into... a game map.

Yes, it's the kind of 2.5D top-down view small map that was most common in domestic online games around 2008.

The "ten-year veteran" status takes effect passively.

maze?

nonexistent.

However, just to be on the safe side, Huai Xu decided to take another precaution.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Mingfei:

[Huai Xu: Mom, I've gone to the Three Gorges Dam for rescue work. After this mission, I'll come back to my hometown and get married.]

send.

Huai Xu looked at the line of text on the screen and nodded.

perfect.

Although it's a bit abstract, Lu Mingfei has been hanging out with him for so long, he should be able to understand what he means.

First, I was also on site—I told Lu Mingfei that he was at the mission location and that there was danger.

Secondly, getting married back in one's hometown—a classic death flag.

People who say this usually don't survive more than three episodes...

perfect.

At the same time.

Kassel College.

dorm room.

Lu Mingfei was dreaming.

In his dream, he returned to the 3E test room.

It's the same classroom, the same windowsill.

It's still that girl...boy.

As long as she likes it...it looks good just like this...

As Lu Mingfei thought this, his face unconsciously turned red again...

She looked at him in the moonlight, her face somewhat blurry and indistinct, only her short hair swaying gently in the night breeze and her pale golden eyes were visible.

"elder brother."

She spoke, her voice soft.

"Um... hello..."

The boy tilted his head, seemingly waiting for him to continue.

After waiting for a while without receiving a response, she spoke again.

"Black sheep wall."

Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

What?

The boy didn't explain, and continued talking.

"You can open the map at crucial moments."

"Open a map?"

"You'll understand when you need to see the big picture."

Lu Mingfei wanted to ask more, but the boy's figure began to fade...

"etc!"

Lu Mingfei reached out to grab it.

They caught nothing.

"Wait! You still haven't told me whether you are—"

Snapped!

A burning pain shot through my face.

Lu Mingfei suddenly opened his eyes.

Fingel's face was inches away.

His hair was a mess, his beard was unkempt, and he hadn't even wiped the sleep from his eyes. He had one hand raised high, ready to slap someone again.

"Awake?" Fingel withdrew his hand.

Why the hell did you hit me?!

"I'm waking you up. What else? By kissing you?"

"you--"

Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, Fingel grabbed his wrist and dragged him off the bed.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go."

"Where to?"

"The library. Something terrible has happened."

Before I could think it through, Fingel dragged me out of the dormitory building and we ran all the way to the library.

The control room at the far end of the library was brightly lit.

When Lu Mingfei was pushed inside, there were already quite a few people standing there.

He counted them quietly.

Thirteen students.

It included Caesar, Chu Zihang, Nono, and Qi Lan, as well as the girl with platinum blonde hair.

Lu Mingfei found a corner seat and sat down. The moment his butt touched the chair, Manstein spoke.

"Dear students, I apologize for gathering you all here at this time."

He paused, then continued, "We have two members from the Executive Department, Ye Sheng and Ya Ji, who got trapped in the Bronze City maze of the Three Gorges Reservoir in China while on a mission."

The control room fell silent.

"They are currently low on oxygen. What we need from you is to decipher the maze by reading, thinking about, and understanding the dragon messages they are sending back from underwater."

Lu Mingfei was still lost in thought, his mind still replaying the dream he had just had.

For some reason, she still didn't adopt that blonde girl look.

Could it be because I left a bad impression on her last time?

Before he could figure these things out, a single sentence from Manstein brought him back to reality.

"Another S-level student and the principal are already on their way to the rescue."

and many more.

S-class.

Another one.

Sophora japonica?

He went too?

When did he go there?

Lu Mingfei subconsciously reached for his phone.

There is an unread text message on the screen.

Sender: Huai Xu.

Click to open.

"Mom, I've gone to the Three Gorges Dam for rescue work. After this mission, I'll come back to our hometown and get married."
