Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

This is exactly what Nono would do.

Up to around chapter 200, I actually made several blunders. For example, I mistakenly thought Susie was a foreigner and thought that Erii actually had a very bad relationship with Genjiro and would never call Genjiro "brother".

I have absolutely no recollection of Xia Mi, so she appears quite late in the story.

After reading through Long Yi to Long Wu dozens of times, I finally understood the personalities of these characters.

Moreover, at that time, there were many scenes that I couldn't write down. They would pop into my mind, but I couldn't describe them in words. Many times, I had to find similar scenes, see how others wrote them, and then imitate them.

The part where Ye Sheng proposes is indeed quite weak, because at that time I didn't know what to write and was frantically catching up on the original novel. It wasn't until I finished reading Long San that I found my direction.

I actually made a lot of mistakes in the early part of this book, such as inexplicable scene transitions, strange trials, and characters being out of character. However, I enjoyed writing it until Old Tang died, so that part was actually the best performing part of the whole book.

Back then, I mostly updated in the mornings and afternoons, because whenever I had time, I would try to write something, and my enthusiasm never waned.

The second best part is from Dragon Volume 3 to the Wedding Volume. I really enjoyed writing this part. It turns out that when the author is having fun, the writing will be more enjoyable for the reader.

Later on, updates were delayed until almost midnight, and no more updates could be added. The enthusiasm had indeed been worn down.

By the end of the year, my skills had improved a lot. I could write down whatever images came to mind, and I had watched a lot of tutorials and read several screenwriting books.

We now know that what shapes a character's personality is their choices, choices made under pressure.

For example, if you want to portray a good person, you could make him so hungry that he still shares his last bread with starving children.

Having learned about story structure, character arcs, and the concept of "rescuing the cat," we now understand the basics of story structure.

If I could rewrite it and create a revised version, I believe it would be much better than the current version.

But let's forget about it. Although it has many flaws, this is indeed the first long book I've written, which I've put a lot of time and effort into.

It taught me a lot of experience and knowledge. Although it's a fan fiction, it's like my child, something I raised with great care.

It taught me a lot and made me realize that writing is something I truly love, and that it makes me really happy that while I'm doing what I love, there are people who can see what I want to express through it.

When I write things down, you can see those fantasies that originally only existed in my mind, fantasize with me, and it can even bring me some benefits.

Oh my god, I've stumbled upon such a great thing! I'm so lucky!

I am truly grateful for the support of all the readers.

At the same time, I would like to thank Jiang Nan. No matter what, Jiang Nan has written stories that have moved me many times. It is Erii, a character he wrote, that is unforgettable for us. It is also Xia Mi, a character he wrote, that made us understand what blank space means. That girl with all kinds of underwear can really bring tears to your eyes.

Without him, these figures would never exist in our lives.

My understanding of Dragon Raja has almost ended here. I hope to see Jiang Nan give Dragon Raja a suitable ending as well.

Future Talk: Aloe Vera Internet Cafe

The sky was azure, and the sun shone brightly.

It's spring again, and Ren Chuan, a freshman at Shilan High School, is skipping class again today.

His phone was confiscated by his homeroom teacher, so no one could contact him. The teacher would probably call his parents, but it didn't matter. Those two never had time to deal with him, so he didn't have to worry about someone walking towards him with a wooden stick while he was online.

Moreover, today he didn't go to his usual internet cafe, but to a slightly out-of-the-way new internet cafe on a corner.

Ren Chuan looked up at the sign: Aloe Vera Internet Cafe.

Through the glass, you can see clean and tidy tiles inside, all of which are gaming chairs with built-in pillows. The computers have curved screens, the headphones are placed on headphone stands, and there are cartoon stickers on the keyboards that say "Disinfected, please use with confidence."

This internet cafe looked expensive, but the environment was very nice. Ren Chuan took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and went straight in.

"Welcome." The internet cafe manager who was watering the flowerpots was a young man in his early twenties. He had a smile on his face and gave people a friendly feeling, like he was a long-time friend.

Ren Chuan felt like he'd seen this face somewhere before, but after looking at it a few more times he still couldn't recognize it. He went to the counter and threw out a hundred-yuan bill: "Open a temporary card, top up 100."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The internet cafe manager put down the watering can, used the key to open the counter door, and issued him a temporary card.

Ren Chuan threw out another hundred-yuan bill: "Another bucket of instant noodles, with sausage and egg."

Would you like a drink?

"Give me a bottle of Nutritional Express."

When the manager heard "Nutritional Express," he paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. He took a bottle of Nutritional Express from the shelf and handed it to Ren Chuan, while also giving him his change.

Ren Chuan leaned against the counter, waiting for the internet cafe manager to open the seasoning packet and add hot water to his instant noodles. His eyes darted around and he spotted a Japanese sword hanging on the wall.

Has this knife been sharpened?

"It's just a model, how could it be sharpened? Sharpening it would get you arrested by the police."

The internet cafe manager smiled and brought the instant noodles to Ren Chuan.

"The password is 123456. For temporary cards, it's 5 yuan per hour here. You can come to the counter anytime to get a refund for the remaining amount."

"Okay." Ren Chuan nodded, picked up his instant noodles, found a computer in the corner, and went online early in the morning.

There was another row of teenagers lying there, each covered with the same style of blanket.

Does this internet cafe offer this service?

Ren Chuan thought to himself that he might as well come here to stay up all night from now on. It's 5 yuan an hour, so staying up all night should only cost 20 yuan, which is quite a good deal.

He put on his headphones, opened the LoL Box, and started watching this week's episode of "Teacher Xu Comes to Patrol the Mountain," slurping down his instant noodles as he watched.

After finishing his noodles, he began his gaming journey, opening ranked matches and starting the game.

"Fiveth floor jungler, no support, feed or die." After typing this, he rubbed his hands together, ready to select his signature hero, Master Yi.

The network administrator, holding a mop, slowly walked up behind Ren Chuan.

It's still early, and it's a weekday, so there are very few people online. In fact, Ren Chuan is the only one playing games in the entire internet cafe.

Ren Chuan was focused on controlling the Sword Saint, with the data bar showing 1-5-2.

As expected, they lost this game. Ren Chuan cursed, "What stupid teammates! I had already pushed down their mid-level high ground, why didn't we just push in a team fight instead of split pushing!"

Another young man walked in from the door. He seemed to be there to change shifts. He greeted the internet cafe manager and sat down at the counter.

The internet cafe manager, who had nothing to do, simply stood behind Ren Chuan, watching him play the game with great interest. He didn't say anything, but had a slight smile on his face.

Ren Chuan lost another sentence, which made him irritated. Just as he was about to turn around and curse, the internet cafe manager suddenly asked him, "I also play LoL, want to play a game together?"

Ren Chuan couldn't get angry at that face no matter what he looked at; for some reason, his mood calmed down considerably.

"I'm in Ionia, do you have an account?"

"Yes, yes."

Without saying much, the network administrator went to the counter and spoke a few words with the person changing shifts, then sat down next to Ren Chuan.

"Being a network administrator is great! I don't even have to pay to go online," the network administrator said with a grin.

The two started their duo queue journey. Ren Chuan was still playing the jungler Master Yi, feeding if he didn't get the kill, the internet cafe manager filled in, and the rest played support.

"I'm a really good support, Annie, don't worry."

进了游戏，任川又打出了0-4-1的傲人战绩，打开计分板一看，辅助安妮“10-0-2”。

It feels really good to be carried by someone else; this game was a complete win for me.

"I have the large gold one, not bad, right?" the internet cafe manager said.

"Holy crap, you're a Gold-level god!" Ren Chuan exclaimed excitedly.

He was only a Bronze II, while Gold was a very rare talent in their class.

After playing a few rounds, the two became quite familiar with each other. Ren Chuan's ranking improved rapidly, jumping from Bronze II to Bronze I in no time, and he was about to reach the promotion match.

"Bro, I'll support, you go jungle." Ren Chuan, having witnessed the internet cafe manager's prowess, chose to obediently lie down.

"Okay," the internet cafe manager said. "By the way, I see your school uniform is from Shilan High School, right? Aren't you going to school?"

"What's the point of going to school? Our homeroom teacher is an idiot. He targets me every day. Even if I haven't done anything wrong, he'll say it's me. He'll say things like, 'Don't be like some people.' He makes fun of me every day. Pah! Going there would just make me his punching bag."

Ren Chuan was cursing when he suddenly stopped, because through the glass he saw a stunningly beautiful goddess walking in from outside.

Her smooth red hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a beige dress with three-quarter sleeves. She had delicate features, a beautiful figure, and an elegant demeanor.

"Holy crap, bro, is that some big star?" Ren Chuan's eyes widened, and he nudged the internet cafe manager's shoulder, his voice dropping a decibel.

"I think so too." The internet cafe manager leaned closer and whispered, "She's so beautiful. If I could marry her, I'd be willing to shorten my lifespan by 20 years."

"You? Don't even think about trying to eat swan meat like a toad. Do you really think you saved the world in your past life and have such good luck?" Ren Chuan rolled his eyes.

"What if it works? I have to give it a try." The network administrator's expression was serious, not like he was joking.

Ren Chuan waited to see the joke: "You just wait, she definitely won't even acknowledge you."

"Young man, I'm only telling you this." The internet cafe manager leaned down and whispered in Ren Chuan's ear, "I also graduated from Shilan High School, a few years earlier than you."

Go and look through the old forum of Shilan High School and search for "List of Outstanding Scoundrels". The people on those lists are really awesome. They come back every year for the school anniversary and share their experience with the best classes in the school.

Although I was at the bottom of the class back then, I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from a master who taught me incredibly effective dating techniques. You just wait and see, I'll definitely win her over.

"Then go ahead and do it," Ren Chuan scoffed.

"You do not trust me?"

"I don't believe you, you big dummy. Then tell me who taught you how to pick up girls?"

"Colonel Chu Zihang, I heard he's coming back once in a few years. Do you know Chu Zihang? He used to be the heartthrob of countless girls in Shilan."

"never heard of that."

"Then you're out of touch. Just you wait and see, I'll show you what the ultimate dating skills are."

The network administrator then shut down the computer, stood up from his seat, and walked straight toward the red-haired goddess.

He casually picked a small yellow flower from the flowerpot and gazed affectionately at the graceful red-haired girl: "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"

The girl covered her mouth and laughed, nodded, took the little yellow flower, put it on her head, and said softly, "Okay."

Ren Chuan stared in disbelief as the two left the Aloe Vera Internet Cafe.

He immediately returned to his seat, opened the official forum of Shilan High School, and searched for the two keywords "This villain deserves to be killed" and "Chu Zihang".

Goodness gracious! I had no idea what I was getting into when I searched. All I found were posts from infatuated girls confessing their love to Chu Zihang. I even saw the name "Su Xiaoqiang." Last year, Su Xiaoqiang was the one who gave the speech on behalf of outstanding alumni at the school's anniversary celebration.

That's the biggest mining tycoon in Binhai City!

But Su Xiaoqiang actually said in the post that she didn't even have the courage to confess to Senior Brother Chu, saying that Senior Brother was like electricity and light, an untouchable myth.

Chu Zihang, you're a god!
