Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

Chapter 129 "Eri's QQ" Joins the Group Chat

Nono wasn't wearing her favorite red dress.

When Caesar first saw her, she was wearing that bright red dress, like a red bird flying freely in the sky, flashing past you like a red lightning bolt. Before you could even see the bright red bird's beautiful feathers, she chirped wildly and disappeared into the distant horizon.

Many people covet this beautiful red bird, fantasizing about locking her in a gilded cage so they can admire her alone.

The cafeteria at Kassel College was filled with people who had a crush on Nono. In the end, it was Caesar who caught the red bird in his hand, or rather, he reached out his hand and the red bird naturally lowered its claws and grabbed his index finger, looking around curiously.

Caesar began dating girls when he was fifteen. His "affectionate" father would always talk about his experience in picking up girls when he met him, hoping that his son could be like him and be a "wild beast" who could roam the world without getting entangled in any affairs.

However, he would not do anything out of line and would treat every girl with the proper manners of a traditional English gentleman.

He never hesitated to show off his broad, warm chest muscles, which he developed so that crying girls could lean on them, but he never spent too much time on any one girl.

Like a beautiful dream, it often disappears after two or three days.

He has only publicly acknowledged Nono as his girlfriend, but the number of women claiming to be his girlfriend could form a whole women's company. There are also several other women in the academy who were once Caesar's dates and are still infatuated with him.

He certainly wouldn't admit it. He said that before he met Nuonuo, he was as pure and innocent as still water, just a simple, innocent boy.

Nuonuo, on the other hand, always talks about having a hundred ex-boyfriends, because she even includes the snotty-nosed little kid in open-crotch pants who was her little brother in kindergarten.

“The ball has just begun, and you’ve come at the perfect time.” Caesar extended his strong arm, and Nono casually placed her hand on it.

Only an idiot would ask Nuonuo why her stomach suddenly stopped hurting, or why she suddenly got out of bed, put on a dress, and strutted around in high heels to dance.

If your first thought is to question a beautiful woman, then you deserve to be single. But if your relationship has reached the point where it's as bland and uneventful as an old married couple, then you can say whatever you want.

Caesar would never say such a foolish thing. Regardless of whether a woman is beautiful or ugly, young or old, he treats women with exceptional gentleness, especially since the woman in front of him is his official girlfriend. Every time he meets Nono, he treats it as a holiday.

Holidays naturally call for gifts, and for a third of the year he would give Nono all sorts of gifts, including Chinese Valentine's Day, Western Valentine's Day, anniversaries of their first meeting, days of confession, Christmas, Halloween, and the "Takururu Festival," a day in Guatemala where men and women are expected to exchange gifts to express their love...

Caesar also prepared a gift today. It's Nuonuo's birthday soon, and when he was ordering a wedding ring for Ye Sheng at the M1NT club, he also bought a piece of jewelry for Nuonuo.

“Your birthday is less than a month away, and I will organize a banquet that is even grander than tonight.” Caesar took out an exquisite red gift box with gold foil stamping from his pocket, and from it took out a necklace with a ruby ​​the size of a pigeon egg set in the center.

The word "mint" has two meanings in English: one refers to a mint, and the other refers to mint. Mint continuously presses gold into coins, while mint is a common ingredient in cocktails.

Alister Patton, the founder of mint, replaced the "i" in "mint" with "1" and gave this "1" a brilliant idea: the world's first shareholder-based private club for the wealthy.

Caesar is a member of this club, and as long as you have money, they can fulfill most of your requests.

You can enjoy both Hawaiian sunbathing and Japanese royal bubble baths in one day. Just make a phone call and they'll take care of everything for you. They offer private jet services and discounts and top-notch services at numerous five-star hotels worldwide.

This club has 250 shareholder members worldwide, nearly 80% of whom are well-known billionaires.

They always select shareholder members only from the most influential fields such as media, finance, fashion, music, law, sports, real estate, medicine, and politics. Caesar was able to join thanks to his incredibly powerful family background. Otherwise, a college student like him, whose age is less than half that of the other members, would have had a hard time getting accepted even if he had enough assets.

However, he did not apply for membership himself; it was the Gattuso family who did it for him. As a gift for his eighteenth birthday, the Bugatti Veyron and the Mint membership certificate were given to him by Frost.

Nono took the necklace, glanced at it briefly, then put it back in the box and returned it to Caesar.

This doesn't mean she wouldn't accept the gift, but the dress didn't have an inner pouch to hold the gift box, so Caesar had to keep it for the time being.

She never refused Caesar's gifts, not because she coveted the Gattuso family's wealth. In fact, she herself came from a wealthy family and had lived like a princess since childhood. Due to certain special reasons, her family did not restrict her too much.

The Ferrari she used to pick up Lu Mingfei that night was borrowed from the Black Prince Group. She didn't spend a penny and didn't sign an IOU. Her family has considerable cooperation with the Black Prince Group in various aspects, and the eldest daughter of the Chen family is quite famous in certain circles in China.

"Have you seen Susie and Chu Zihang?" Nono took Caesar's hand and entered the hall with him. The student council members opened the door to the Norton Building for them, and Nono casually picked up a red mask and put it on.

“I wasn’t paying attention,” Caesar said. “My mind was entirely on you.”

"If you ask me, Susie is just too shy. You have to be more proactive with someone like Chu Zihang who won't listen to reason," Nuonuo said with a hint of exasperation.

"Love is something that cannot be forced. It may only take a glance, or it may take a lifetime of companionship."

"Tell me, what is it about Su Qian that Chu Zihang thinks is wrong? My best friend is so outstanding, what is it about her that makes her unworthy of him?"

“He might have some unresolved issues, but his attitude towards ladies is certainly not gentle enough.” Caesar led Nono to the dance floor. “Would you like to dance?”

"Never mind." Nono shook her head. "Take me to the dining table, I'm a little hungry."

"How about I have the cafeteria deliver some takeout, and we can eat somewhere quieter?"

“Let’s stay here,” Nono said. “I want to be somewhere lively tonight. A bit of noise is good, at least I won’t feel lonely.”

"A person who is lonely at heart will be lonely wherever he is," Caesar said. "But I am with you."

......

Lu Mingfei returned laden with his spoils, a fragrant roasted pork knuckle dangling from his mouth, a plate piled high with a steak drizzled with sauce, a lobster claw the size of his palm, and salmon sushi with wasabi...

Few paid him any attention. He was agile, shooting and changing locations frequently. Besides, everyone was wearing masks, and after he changed his clothes, no one could tell what his face looked like under the flashy pink mask.

Tonight, everyone's attention won't be on a foodie. The Norton Pavilion is filled with an explosion of hormones. Men and women are in pairs, couples are inseparable, and singles are looking for opportunities to sign up for small activities to find a partner of the opposite sex.

Lu Mingfei sat down at the rest table in the corner, no longer caring about etiquette. Since he was wearing a makeup mask, no one would know that he was the one who made a fool of himself.

He ate meat heartily, indulging in a voracious feast.

People feel happy when they eat, which is why many people like to discuss business at the dinner table. When they are in a better mood, the chances of closing a deal are higher. Some people also binge eat after a breakup because eating makes them feel better.

At that moment, he felt a slight vibration in his buttocks; it was his phone ringing, but it only rang once.

He carried two cell phones with him, one he bought himself and the other mailed to him by Lu Mingze. The one that was vibrating on his left buttock just now was his own cell phone ringing.

But his hands were covered in oil, and the clothes he was wearing were borrowed; if he got them dirty, he might have to pay for them.

With the knife and fork placed on either side of the plate, he preferred the satisfying feeling of taking a big bite and stuffing his mouth full rather than elegantly cutting with a knife.

He glanced at the half-eaten pig's trotter in his hand, then at the napkins on the table. He put the trotter down, tore off a few clean sheets of paper to wipe his hands, and casually tossed a piece of sushi wrapped in seaweed and nori into his mouth. Only after confirming that his hands were free of grease did he take out his phone from under his bottom.

It's another super classic brown emoji.

She absolutely adores this smiling dad; she uses it as her opening line every time.

"What is Sakura doing?" Erii asked on QQ.

"Eating." Lu Mingfei took a picture of the plate and sent it to them.

"Does eating mean you have to go to work right away?"

"More or less..."

"Can you still play with me today?"

Even though Lu Mingfei told her yesterday that he was busy today, she asked again today, "Can't you find anyone else to play with?"

But Lu Mingfei really couldn't get away from it. He couldn't possibly abandon his friend's marriage proposal and run back to his dorm to play games with his online friends, could he?

Besides, he also needs personal time. He can't play with Erii every day. The time he can play will only decrease in the future. After the teachers have introduced the course content in the past few weeks and started to study, there will be more homework in each subject. Unless he slacks off, he will have to spend a lot of free time just to complete the homework.

Even during holidays, he might have to do an internship. If he doesn't, he'll go back to China to help his aunt buy groceries and do housework. In the evenings, he'll probably have late-night snacks and watch anime with his cousin.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and opened the group chat list.

He joined many groups, including elementary school class groups, middle school class groups, and high school class groups. The elementary school class groups and middle school class groups had been silent for a long time, but no one left the groups; everyone was just silent.

The high school class group chat is quite active, with over 99 unread messages. I casually clicked in to take a look and saw that Zhao Menghua was planning a class reunion during the winter break.

Their class was, after all, a top-tier class, with many local rich kids in it. Su Xiaoqiang's family was the biggest mine owners in the area, owning iron ore, coal mines, molybdenum mines, manganese mines... basically making money while lying down.

Su Xiaoqiang had about 10,000 yuan of pocket money a month in high school, and she treated her girlfriends to meals everywhere. Lu Mingfei used to shamelessly freeload off her many times, but she never invited Chen Wenwen to the meals. Over time, in order to show that he was on the same side as Chen Wenwen, he stopped going. Now he really regrets it.

Zhao Menghua's family company is about to go public. With a group of rich second-generation classmates, he can do very well by playing the kinship card. However, this is only possible in China. People like Lu Mingfei who study abroad cannot enjoy the benefits of having a network of friends.

It doesn't really matter. His relationship with his classmates isn't great, but it's not terrible either. If he really wanted to ask for help, they would probably help him, but there's really no need for that. He is a millionaire after all, although it doesn't really feel real.

Lu Ming was looking for game groups, not class groups.

He became addicted to the internet during junior high school. During that rebellious adolescence, he didn't want to go back to be scolded by his aunt and listen to her nagging.

After school, he would go to an internet cafe, get a temporary card, and sit alone until dark. When he ran out of money, he would quietly run to the rooftop of the community building, sit with the buzzing air conditioner, look at the glowing CBD in the distance, and watch the traffic flowing on the overpass. After his aunt went inside to sleep, he would quietly sneak in.

Sometimes I didn't even have money to buy instant noodles, so I would go hungry until noon the next day when the cafeteria opened.

After scolding him a few times, his aunt stopped caring about him and said that since he wasn't her child, he could do whatever he wanted. She told him to go back to where he came from when his parents cut off his allowance and see who would want him.

She didn't remove Lu Mingfei's bed and continued to give him breakfast money according to the standard. If Lu Mingfei came back from the internet and bumped into her, she would scold him a few times. If she closed the door and went to bed, she wouldn't bother to come out when she heard Lu Mingfei open the door.

Just like she said, since it's not her child, she doesn't care what happens to it.

Lu Mingfei and his aunt were not related by blood at all and could not be considered relatives.

No one would give a good look to a teenager addicted to the internet. Lu Mingfei joined many gaming groups at that time, and he would brag and complain to his group members every day. His group members would never say anything to him, but would only complain with him about his vicious aunt, and then invite him to a game, urging him to play a little longer. Because he was good at the game, everyone called him a master, and everyone wanted to please the master and get on his good side. But when you asked them to contribute some money for internet fees, few people would pay attention. They would think of this or that, and then find an excuse to go offline.

The group members only said what he wanted to hear. Until a month later, his aunt stopped giving him money for breakfast because the cafeteria at Shilan Middle School started providing breakfast with eggs, milk, and steamed buns. He couldn't save up for internet fees, so he had no choice but to sheepishly admit defeat.

The uncle acted as a peacemaker between him and his aunt, and the matter was finally resolved.

His gaming group includes players of various games such as DDTank, StarCraft, CS, CF, QQ Speed, KartRider, Red Alert, and Legend of Sword and Fairy...

He's joined groups for all sorts of single-player and online games, and he's even an administrator in the StarCraft group.

Erii probably doesn't have a computer, only a PS3 game console, but that's okay. There are a few people in the StarCraft group who often discuss PS3 games, so you can ask them if they have a group.

Lu Mingfei scrolled through the chat history and found a very active group member, "Dragon Fruit Tycoon". He often talked about PS3 games in the group. They used to play StarCraft together, but Tycoon was too bad at it and it wasn't fun.

“Hey tycoon, do you guys have a group for console gamers?” Lu Mingfei sent a message that made a window shake.

“Yeah, Mingming, you bought a PS3 too? Perfect, let’s play together. You and Lao Tang have been playing PS3 lately? That explains why I haven’t seen you two chatting in the group for so long.” The tycoon quickly replied.

【Mingming】is Lu Mingfei’s nickname in the group, and Lao Tang is also in this group.

Lu Mingfei paused slightly when he saw the words "Old Tang," then shook his head and continued typing.

"Here's the thing, I have a friend who wants to find people to play with. Do you think I could add him to your group?"

"Of course! Are you a newbie? Our group is very friendly to newbies. You can send him your friends over, and I'll add him to the group."

“Okay, my friend is pretty good at Street Fighter, and he’s also played a little Uncharted 2. He’s a foreigner and doesn’t speak Chinese. You can just send him your game ID and add him as a friend.” Lu Mingfei pushed Erii’s friend request over.

“Okay,” the tycoon said.

He explained the situation to Erii, saying that he probably wouldn't be free tonight, but he found her a group where she could find people to play games with.

Erii sent an "I understand" emoji and was pulled into a group called "Fruit Wholesalers" by "Dragon Fruit Tycoon".

"Eri's qq" joined the group chat.

Lu Mingfei put his phone on the table and prepared to continue eating.

At that moment, a red-haired woman suddenly sat down opposite Lu Mingfei, carrying a plate, along with a blond man, who was clearly Caesar and Nono.

The other two people came over and sat next to Lu Mingfei, also holding plates, and were feeding each other.

Suddenly, the rest table in this corner, which originally had only one person, became a table for five, and the atmosphere became a little strange.
