Brass Dragons in the Dragon World

A group of minors, naturally, couldn't stay out all night, so they all dispersed around 10 p.m.

The warm summer breeze rustles through the thin shirt, and the sound of cicadas in the southern city night has a unique charm.

After the literary society group dispersed and came out of the hotel, most of them had family members waiting for them. Watching his classmates walk towards those unknown luxury cars, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little lonely.

I have to wait for the bus later, I don't know if I can catch the last bus.

"Mingfei, over here!"

A voice drew everyone's attention. Lu Mingfei looked down and saw a convertible sports car under the colorful neon lights of the hotel, with a person sitting inside.

Someone noticed the little figure on the hood of the car and said:

"Rolls-Royce?"

Looking at Ander sitting in the hood of the car, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a surge of courage and addressed the crowd:

"I'm leaving soon, so I have something to say. My family is planning to send me abroad to study at university, so I'll have to work hard to learn English from now on."

While everyone was shocked by the news, Lu Mingfei climbed into the passenger seat of the convertible with a grin and drove off with Ander.

Looking at the dazzling lights and cars around him, Lu Mingfei's smile faded, and he said:

"Uncle De, thank you."

Ander, driving without turning his head, said:

"This car is borrowed, it's free, isn't that great?"

"Um, no... okay, it was still pretty fun."

"There's one more thing."

"What?"

"Just this once, you can buy it yourself next time."

Chapter 124 Tabletop RPG

After that day, Lu Mingfei also enjoyed the pleasure of being a prominent figure, and even took over Lu Mingze's nickname, Young Master Lu.

As for the gold coin, Chen Wenwen made a special trip to return it to Lu Mingfei the next day.

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the gold coins. He didn't want to see Chen Wenwen agonizing over such a thing.

Are you going abroad?

Recalling what happened yesterday, Chen Wenwen finally spoke and asked...

"No, there are still two years left, but my parents managed to get me a letter of recommendation, so there's a chance."

Recalling his declaration in front of everyone last night, Lu Mingfei wished he could disappear into the ground. He had spoken too definitively; what if he couldn't make it in the end?

"Well then, good luck!"

Chen Wenwen waved her little hand, instantly energizing Lu Mingfei, who was feeling drowsy from the heat.

"And what about you? Do you want to study abroad?"

"Me? I want to go to the department at Yenching University."

After returning that day, Lu Mingfei was torn between studying abroad and taking the university entrance exam, but there's no need to worry...

After all, he had two years to think about this problem, which is a long time, isn't it?

And as for Lu Mingze's family, Ander showed no favoritism. Lu Mingze's grades were actually better than Lu Mingfei's, so Ander told him:

"Study hard, and I'll help you if you want to study abroad."

However, his uncle and aunt were still puzzled as to why they didn't just send Lu Mingze to Kassel.

"Because when Lu Lincheng was in school, he beat up the school board chairman's son and stole the girl he had a crush on..."

"So getting Lu Mingfei a letter of recommendation was already the limit of what Lu Lincheng could do."

After hearing Ander's words, his aunt showed a knowing look.

"I knew he was no pushover."

As she muttered to herself, she sent Lu Mingze off to study English. Studying abroad was still a good career path, and returning from overseas studies was quite valuable.

"Even with the recommendation letter, you still can't neglect your studies. Xiao Pan, please keep an eye on him."

My aunt's surname is Li, and her given name is Pan. It's a very nice name, but she's a bit biased. When it comes to Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, she naturally favors her own son.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on them."

From that day on, the two of them began a long and arduous journey of studying for IELTS and TOEFL, memorizing vocabulary, and doing countless practice questions.

And what is our protagonist, Ender, doing, the one who started all of this?

In a role-playing group.

Tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs) are a common term for tabletop role-playing games where players take on the role of a powerful mage or an investigator with zero SAN (Sanity Points) and complete various stories on a small tabletop.

The most famous of these is Dungeons & Dragons (DND), a tabletop game that is said to have been invented by an insurance salesman in Wisconsin, though some say the inventor was someone else.

Ander was sprawled on a sofa, playing D&D tabletop role-playing game with five other people.

"Tang, it's your turn."

“I am now Toby the halfling thief, not Ronald Don.”

The Chinese man complained as he spoke to the host (called DM in the game):

"I'm going to sneak up behind him and give him a good whack on the waist."

That's right, Ronald Tang's real identity is none other than the legendary King of Bronze and Fire: Norton.

Who would have thought that this Dragon King was actually a D&D enthusiast who liked to play as a thief, scouting traps and opening treasure chests in dungeons, and incidentally giving his enemies a quick kick in the kidneys.

Ander observed Old Tang's reaction. He had just failed miserably in stealth, tripped over a stone on the ground, and triggered a trap. Now an ogre had been released and was aggressively approaching the group who had already reached a dead end.

"You have a really good mindset. That was your third big failure, wasn't it?"

Old Tang still had that same smiling face, seemingly unaffected by his bad luck with the dice today.

For some reason, this dragon king, who was hiding among humans, was not very lucky. In his own words, he used up all his luck on his work, so the dice always went wrong.

"But that's okay, randomness is part of the charm of games."

Old Tang said with a smile that he had recently completed a big deal, retrieving a golden mask from a lost pyramid, which gave him a lot of free time and money.

What he didn't know was that a third-generation creature was hidden inside the pyramid, and that the seemingly harmless decorative statues were filled with living beings, ready to bury any invading enemies in the sand at any time.

However, these terrifying creatures could only tremble in fear before a Dragon King, not daring to utter a sound.

Later, after Old Tang left, the Executive Department sent three combat teams, smashed half of the pyramid, and finally killed the dragons awakened by Old Tang's bloodline, leaving them to slumber in the desert.

However, the execution department quickly discovered Old Tang's ingenious use. Most of the locations he assigned to missions had a slight problem; they were usually hiding places of dragons or warehouses of ancient alchemical items.

Thanks to the attraction between this Dragon King and the dragon race, the execution department's performance has increased dramatically recently, even resulting in the bizarre phenomenon of slaying two dragons in a single month.

Back in the United States, Ender felt it was necessary to observe the King of Bronze and Fire up close, so he took the opportunity to participate in a tabletop role-playing game with Old Tang.

It must be said that the former announcer was quite competent as a DM, giving Ander a sense that he was still taking a risk.

However, the game didn't go very smoothly, mainly because Old Tang's dice kept going wrong, and there were always a few troublemakers in the team trying to cause trouble, such as...

“Ander, you can’t use Charm on that village girl.”

"Why not? I should have brought this spell with me!"

DM sighed and said:

"You can ask her for information, but considering there are minors here, could you please delete the part about coming to my room?"

Well, trying to do some weird things to cute NPCs is very much in line with the image of the dragonborn bard that Ender is playing.

Finally, the group broke through the layers of blockade and successfully obtained the treasure left behind by a great mage.

Although the process was very tortuous, and the group had almost no clothes left when they came out of the dungeon, they still couldn't help but cheer when they finally succeeded.

"A wonderful performance, and the lyrics at the end were quite beautiful, Mr. Ender."

“A bit of past experience, and you did a good job too, stealing the key from that ogre, Ronald.”

The two Chinese men exchanged compliments before parting ways at an intersection. Ander got into a sports car parked by the roadside and looked at Angers in the driver's seat.

"Unbelievable, I actually played a game with the King of Bronze and Fire."

Angers slowly started the sports car and asked curiously:

How are you feeling?

"That's perfectly normal. I quietly deployed a detection force, and guess what?"

"Chaotic evil?"

"No, it's fucking chaotic kindness. His moral standards are even higher than yours."

Incidentally, Angers' alignment is Lawful Neutral, and even Ander's blood couldn't turn him into a chaotic idiot.

"Completely different from the legendary Norton, almost like..."

Ander scratched his chin, unable to think of a good word, and finally said:

"It's like dissociative identity disorder."

Chapter 125 Senior and Junior

The bell rang for the last exam. Chu Zihang put down his pen and checked his name and exam number on the paper one last time.

Faced with an exam that would determine his future, even someone as composed as Chu Zihang felt a little nervous.

"How are you feeling, Chairman?"

Susie followed behind Chu Zihang. This girl had joined the student council of Kalian High School with Chu Zihang in the first year of high school and served as the vice president until the third year.

"is acceptable."

Chu Zihang didn't want to make any definitive statements. He felt okay just now, but this was, after all, the college entrance examination, and he couldn't be careless.
