The thought that his world was in imminent danger filled Lu Mingfei with a sense of panic, a feeling of impending doom, and the illusion that he was about to die.

The world is about to be destroyed by the Dragon King, who could awaken at any moment.

...It seems like it's none of his business. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and there's Kassel College and several other dragon-slaying organizations like families to hold it up.

Wait, he's about to enroll at Kassel College.

"..."

Can I regret it? That was Lu Mingfei's first thought.

But! What hot-blooded young man wouldn't love to transform into a heroic youth and slay countless evil dragons?

But before that, he needs to write a "beginner's guide" to StarCraft, from beginner to expert, to prevent his awesome skills from being lost.

"Someone, prepare a room for Lu Mingfei, and a top-of-the-line computer," Nuwa said arrogantly, picking up the walkie-talkie.

"The most advanced... computer?" Lu Mingfei tilted his head slightly.

Having money is good.

Over the next few days, Lu Mingfei settled into a leisurely life of playing games, compiling strategy guides, reading comics, and watching TV series.

He's become a salted fish again, only this time he's kept in captivity. For him, there's no need to go out or not, meaning there's no difference between free-range and captive-raised.

He went from being a lazy bum raised by the authorities to a handsome man kept by the beautiful snake-woman head of a reclusive family.

Okay, he admits he's not very handsome.

"Mingming, I want to avenge myself." Old Tang sent another invitation.

These past few days, Lao Tang has frequently appeared as material in his strategy guides; he's a specialist in playing the human race.

Old Tang was quickly defeated, letting out a wail in the voice chat.

"Move aside, let me do it." Nuwa's voice rang out behind Lu Mingfei.

She often used the excuse of monitoring the progress of the strategy guide to secretly learn Lu Mingfei's techniques.

Lu Mingfei relayed to Lao Tang that he had changed his teammate; a friend was going to fight the other side.

Old Tang got excited as soon as he heard that and bluntly said that he must let Nuwa taste her power.

As a regular source of material for Lu Mingfei's strategy guides, the ending was as expected: Lao Tang failed very smoothly.

Nuwa, seeing that her strength had increased, became proud and challenged her to another battle.

She knew that Lu Mingfei's gaming skills were unfathomable, and she would not seek to be humiliated. The opponent in front of her was quite good, with a moderate level of strength.

"Your friend is quite capable; he seems somewhat familiar to me," Old Tang said.

How could we not be familiar with you? We used you as a template for training.

In the following rounds, Lao Tang won occasionally, but lost most of the time.

"I'm not playing anymore. The middleman introduced me to a job, and I need to earn money to pay the rent," Old Tang said to Lu Mingfei before logging off.

Lu Mingfei relayed the message to Nuwa.

"What?" As a girl addicted to the internet, Nuwa was naturally very unwilling to fight a worthy opponent.

"Money is not a problem, I'll pay you for playing with me." Nuwa thought for a moment and asked Lu Mingfei to relay the message.

"How much did he ask?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"One round..."

After Lu Mingfei finished relaying the message, there was a long silence in the earpiece.

I could almost hear the sound of someone kneeling down in my headphones.

"Brother, you're my own brother." Old Tang's sobbing voice came through the earpiece. "Ming, where did you meet such a powerful and arrogant guy? I'll be there for him no matter how long he needs to play with me. Time difference is not a problem."

Old Tang's tone was so excited that he almost wanted to jump out of the computer to thank Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei wanted to say that he was forced to get to know this big shot, and at the same time, he was being supported by this big shot.

He informed Nuwa about Old Tang's general condition.

“Since he’s your friend, then a friend of a friend is still a friend. As long as he returns to China, I, the Goddess of the Sea, will protect him. As long as he doesn’t do anything illegal or disorderly, I can handle it all. But if he dares to become a traitor, I’ll personally rip his head off and use it as a football.”

Nuwa's eyes seemed capable of spewing flames that could melt metal, and even when she was gritting her teeth, her chubby face didn't evoke anger; instead, it made her seem rather cute.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Nuwa's snake tail, which was making boastful remarks. "Can this be used to play football?"

......

Inside a rented room in a certain state in the United States.

The room was filled with noise. An Asian man knelt on the floor, wearing cheap headphones, staring at the computer screen.

Old Tang stood up from the ground, hugged his keyboard, and burst into tears.

"I, Ronald Tang, have finally made it big! It's a miracle! You're such a good person, you've become successful and you haven't forgotten your brothers."

"I've decided you're my brother for life. Even Jesus couldn't stop our friendship."

Old Tang checked his bank account balance and saw that several zeros had suddenly appeared after the two-digit balance. He counted them over and over again.

Each zero is like a marshmallow melting in your heart.

The phone suddenly rang.

"Ronald! Are you still going to work or not? What time is it? Why aren't you at the meeting place?" A thick Western accent came from the phone.

Old Tang usually dared not speak out against the middleman. Apart from the occasional bounty on the website for exploring ancient tombs, he relied entirely on the middleman to assign him tasks and earn some pocket money to make a living.

But this time was different. He had confidence because a brother on the other side of the ocean assured him of his future job and bright prospects.

"I quit!" Old Tang grabbed the phone and roared, "I'm done!"

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly not expected that Lao Tang would refuse, and fell silent for a moment. A few seconds later, the middleman also shouted.

"If you don't do it, plenty of others will. Don't think the job can't be done just because you're gone..."

"Fuck your mother."

Old Tang didn't give the other party much of a chance to ramble on. He directly used the ultimate yet simple national treasure taught by Lu Mingfei to retort to the other party.

I hung up the phone while the other person was still in a daze.

It feels so good to hang up after yelling at someone.

"Trying to bully me because I'm not well-educated? But I have brothers backing me up."

Bang bang bang!

A series of gunshots rang out from outside the window.

"Damn it." Old Tang was so frightened that he covered his head and leaned against the corner.

"The gangs are fighting again. Who would rent this godforsaken place if it weren't cheap? It's really unsafe."

......

Lu Mingfei spent less than half a month compiling the strategy guide while slacking off.

We also heard from Lao Tang that the other party decided to move because they couldn't stand the unbearable environment of the rental apartment.

Because he has a terrible sense of direction, he went to the wrong place and accidentally stumbled into a gang fight, where he was beaten up and ended up in the hospital.

After much painful reflection, I decided to return to China once I recovered.

Lu Mingfei expressed his welcome, as meeting up with netizens in person is both risky and exciting.

Surprisingly, Lao Tang recovered from his injury after Lu Mingfei started school.

Time passed by, and it was time for Lu Mingfei to start school.

Lu Mingfei stood in front of the airport in the capital, holding his plane ticket in his hand.

Behind them was a black car with the window rolled down. Nuwa's slightly chubby face was facing Lu Mingfei, and her eyes seemed to want to see right through him.

"You can do whatever you want, but if you make the same choice as your parents, even if you are my friend, even if you are the one who taught me game skills, I must prioritize the interests of the family and treat you as an enemy. Be careful when you step into my Zhou family territory."

Nuwa reluctantly turned her head, slowly raised the car window, feeling a little lonely. It hurt her most when her friend turned into an enemy, but as the head of the family, she could not abandon her entire family for her own selfish desires.

"You have to tell me first what heinous things they did, things that are utterly outrageous to both gods and men?" Lu Mingfei asked Nuwa, puzzled.

"If you don't tell me anything and just ramble on here, how am I supposed to understand? Is it really necessary to be so cryptic? Should you go to Gotham for some training?" Lu Mingfei continued to complain.

"Huh?" Nuwa was stunned by Lu Mingfei's question and awkwardly scratched her snake tail.

"Yes." Nuwa paused for a moment, trying to keep a serious yet adorable expression on her face, and spoke in a childlike voice.

“They chose to run away.” Nuwa rolled up the car window and instructed the driver to leave.

Lu Mingfei was left alone standing in the bustling crowd.

“Escape?” Lu Mingfei pondered the word carefully.

Is it an attempt to shirk parental responsibility? Yes, but it doesn't warrant being wanted by the police.

What would a mixed-race person be wanted for?

Lu Mingfei didn't know, couldn't figure it out, so he could only firmly remember it and store it in his memory.

This was his first time going abroad.

Filled with anxiety about the future, and with gossip about Nuwa circulating among the public, he was not optimistic about Kassel College and was very worried about the security of certain areas.

But he had no choice but to go. His parents had mysteriously disappeared after a mission at Kassel College, and there had been no trace of them, not even a word from them. Who had given him that letter?

As for who paid the child support during this period, the Zhou family had already informed him of this information.

She is a girl named Su Enxi from an address in America.

Su Enxi is a well-known mixed-race person in a small circle. She has achieved great success in business, but has a very bad temper and often does some confusing things that cause great impact. She has been marked by the Zhou family.

Why help someone you don't know?

Lu Mingfei couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.

Everything abnormal happening around him came from America, either from Kassel College or somewhere else.

He could have simply ignored these matters and let Nuwa raise him in the Zhou family, becoming a professional game coach and finding his own way out.

Just like Zhang Chulan, if he wants to know the answer, he must throw himself into this vortex, either hooking up with a big fish or using everything around him by any means necessary.
