Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei's Dimensional Gate

"I have just received news that the palace of the King of Bronze and Fire is not far from the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. I want to organize an exploration of Baidi City. After all, it is located in the most important place and we cannot be careless. We need to take precautions and mobilize military forces if necessary. Therefore, I am seeking your opinions."

"Is the information accurate?" the Li family patriarch asked.

The head of the Wang family said, "It has been almost ten years since the last attack by the Dragon King. The new generation has just grown up, and our families are still recovering from a serious illness. We are not yet ready to face an opponent stronger than Li Wuyue."

"The information is accurate; I guarantee it with my life," Nuwa assured, patting her chest.

“We, the older generation, no longer have the strength to take action, and the younger generation lacks sufficient experience,” the Li family patriarch said with worry.

"That is the King of Bronze and Fire, one of the strongest dragon kings. I disagree with him going to explore White Emperor City," the Chen family head said with a stern face.

He has already climbed the social ladder abroad, so there's no need for him to risk his own power by associating with these people.

But the palaces of Baidi City contain many things that alchemists dream of, and he wants a share of them, but he is worried about the high price to pay.

"Don't worry, I already have a way to ensure the safety of the explorers. After the exploration is completed, the spoils will be distributed according to the amount of effort contributed." Nuwa ignored the Chen family head.

Except for the Chen family, who had stern faces, seemingly waiting for Nuwa to beg them.

The other two companies pondered, considered, and weighed the potential benefits.

The Dragon King's palace is not open to just anyone, especially since it belongs to the Bronze and Fire King, a master of alchemy.

"I agree, but I need to verify your source, since rumors are unreliable. I also need to know exactly how you ensured safety."

The views of the Wang and Li families are similar.

They saw that the benefits of this operation would outweigh the losses, and that it would help strengthen their family.

"Yes." Nuwa clapped her hands.

The door was pushed open.

Lu Mingfei made his entrance carrying the Dragon-Slaying Platform and walked in slowly.

His dark eyes glanced at the Chen family head, who had once had the chance to become his father-in-law, before turning to the others.

Let me introduce myself...

"Lu Mingfei?" the Chen family patriarch exclaimed.

"It seems the Chen family head knows him. That's right, his name is Lu Mingfei." Nuwa introduced him with a smile.

"It was he who provided the information about Baidi City. He was also the main force in this operation in Baidi City. As for the security, there is no need to worry about the military force. He has the Dragon-Slaying Platform of my Zhou family."

The tense expressions of the Li and Wang families relaxed instantly when they saw Lu Mingfei, and they stared in surprise at this boy who was only a few years older than Nuwa.

They had already heard that a new S-class student named Lu Mingfei had joined Kassel College.

Now that I see him, he truly has a magnificent bearing, carrying an ancient bronze sword that gives him the air of an ancient knight-errant.

But at this point in time, S-class students should be studying in Kassel.

They noticed that Lu Mingfei was always standing behind Nuwa, and guessed a thing or two about it.

"I've heard so much about you."

The two used their own words to praise Lu Mingfei.

"In addition, there is one more thing I need to explain to you all. This operation will be split 30/70, with Lu Mingfei accounting for 70% and us for 30%."

"What gives him the right?" the other two major families said, dissatisfied.

"He is currently acting as the representative of Angers, the principal of Kassel College, and can represent Kassel College to a certain extent. He is not fighting on behalf of my Zhou family, but on behalf of the students of Kassel. I am merely presenting a precious sword to a hero. In addition, he killed a second-generation species before, which gives him enough confidence to take 70% of the spoils." Although Nuwa was speaking to the other two families, she looked at the head of the Chen family.

"Just lucky, just lucky," Lu Mingfei said modestly.

"what?!"

"Killed the next generation?"

The Chen family patriarch felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.

The second-generation species is not so easy to kill, especially when it comes before the Zhou family's Dragon-Slaying Platform is used. This person's strength is simply unfathomable.

Moreover, this person's identity represents Angers, the principal of Kassel College, meaning he is essentially the next principal.

All his efforts had only managed to establish a connection with the future school board member, and even that was fraught with risk. If Caesar died, this connection would be severed, and his daughter would no longer be of value as a legal wife.

However, there is a future principal who killed the next generation of the Nuwa family by her side. Could it be that the Zhou family, which has been hiding for so many years, has set its sights on Kassel College?

Given his long-standing feud with the Zhou family, wouldn't he suffer setbacks from all sides?

I regret it so much, I regret it so much.

If he had known this would happen, he would have let his daughter get to know Lu Mingfei. With his daughter's abilities, winning over the young and naive Lu Mingfei would have been a piece of cake.

“Niece, exploring Baidi City is a good idea. I think we can’t give up this opportunity to understand the enemy, and we should also include the Chen family.”

“You have already clearly refused. This time, the White Emperor City plan will not include you. The door is over there, and the details that follow are beyond your control as an outsider.”

Nuwa pointed to the door that Lu Mingfei hadn't closed, the dark passage seemingly hiding a gaping maw waiting for the Chen family patriarch to enter.

"Don't be so heartless. I'm still your parents' friend. Even if the deal falls through, we can still be friends."

"My parents' friends all died that early winter. Since you claim to be a friend of my parents, why are you still standing here? You should go and join them!"

Nuwa stared at the head of the Chen family with her beautiful eyes.

"I... Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!" The Chen family patriarch, his betrayal exposed, walked angrily into the dark passage.

"Gentlemen, it's time to discuss the specific details of the operation in Baidi City." Lu Mingfei sat down at the table and chairs that the Chen family had left behind.

He crossed his arms and looked at the two families.

"Damn it, this is coming for them." The two family heads felt a jolt of fear.

First, eliminate potential backstabbers, then purge the internal network to ensure no one disputes over unequal distribution of benefits.

He did not accept the promise of Nuwa to become the next great clan, a clan that could stand firmly amidst the changing times and still protect itself even if the situation were ever-changing.

Dealing with these things is the most troublesome thing; all he wants is a warm home with his wife and kids.

"Okay, okay."

......

Several days later.

On the Yangtze River under the bright sun,

A military ship sails on the turbulent river.

The main force of this operation consisted of Lu Mingfei, Fingel, and Chu Zihang. As for Zero, she was excluded, not because of her strength, but because the cute and petite Zero was often mistaken for a minor.

Therefore, Nuwa rebuked Lu Mingfei for trafficking underage girls, ignoring Ling's explanation and insisting that others had told Ling to say that. She then excluded Ling and kept her by Nuwa's side.

Nuwa held Zero's small hand, looking at the tiny and adorable Zero, and spoke with righteous indignation. She didn't even hide her lolicon tendencies and directly touched her all over.

This caused a hint of despair to appear deep in Zero's already expressionless eyes, revealing the terrifying nature of a shut-in girl.

"Do you think Zero will come back?" Fingel looked at Zero, who was being pressed on the head by Nuwa with two huge fleshy balls on the shore.

"Maybe, it depends on Nuwa's mood. She'll come back whenever she gets tired of it." Lu Mingfei lay on the deck, wearing sunglasses and sunbathing.

Standing beside him was Chu Zihang, who was constantly wielding his knife, his sweat dripping onto the smooth and clean deck.

Fingel looked around.

"Are we really not supposed to be the first to go?"

Everywhere you look, there are mixed-race people wearing diving suits, diving down.

Wave after wave of people went to explore the ancient bronze city hidden in the mountains.

Every so often, someone would be pulled back to the deck to replace the next group of people.

If this were a mission at Kassel College, Finger knew there wouldn't be waves of people; they were the actual personnel for this operation, with at most a second group.

He was surprised by the large crowd.

Could this be the legendary strategy of "precision strikes when poor, and overwhelming firepower when rich"?

With so many people, it wouldn't take more than a few hours to complete the exploration of the nearby Yangtze River bottom.

"You can go if you want, I won't stop you."

Lu Mingfei leisurely took a sip of tea. Drinking soda makes you burp easily, and when you're underwater, you can easily smell the burp.

"Prepare well for the battle ahead." Chu Zihang grabbed a towel from his shoulder and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“I think Junior Brother Chu is right.” Fingel decisively moved a recliner over and lay down on it.

An hour later, a team member came to Lu Mingfei with some documents.

"Report: Traces of the Bronze City have been found. Excavation is underway, and we will soon be able to open the gates of the Bronze City. Please prepare."

"Ah."

Lu Mingfei lazily stood up, stretching his limbs in preparation for battle.

His relaxed demeanor infected Fingel.

Fingel didn't even have much motivation to get up; he just wanted to stay lying next to Lu Mingfei.

Chu Zihang quickly sheathed his sword, put Murasame away, and went back to change into his diving suit, which finally woke up the lazy Fingel.

"Boss, you have to protect me!" Fingel said pitifully.

"Don't stray too far from me."

After Lu Mingfei finished his warm-up exercises, Chu Zihang and Fingel had already changed into their gear and were waiting quietly.

He took the Dragon-Slaying Platform from the room, quickly changed into his diving suit, and led the three of them into the water.

I listened to their reports through my headphones.

We successfully found the entrance to the ancient bronze city.

It was as if a person had opened his mouth full of fangs, and his bronze-carved eyes were staring at the three people swimming. Deep inside the mouth was a narrow passage that could only accommodate a few people.

"Are the oxygen cylinders ready?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Ready." Fingel was at the very back of the group, moving the slowest, mainly because he was carrying several oxygen cylinders as a support staff member.

Lu Mingfei and his two companions entered the giant mouth of the human face on the bronze ancient city wall.

Avoiding the needles on the edge, they swam towards the ancient bronze city submerged in water.
