Dragon Clan: I, Maybach, join the chat group

V Corporation is probably the most comprehensive major group in the entire Night City.

After all, they really do a little bit of everything.

Kang Tao specializes in weapon manufacturing, perhaps having studied weapons for decades, making them difficult to kill, but V has maxed out electronic hacking, close-quarters blades, and fortress defense.

In this company war of balanced attributes,

the opponent might gain a temporary advantage, but the longer the battle lines are drawn, the easier it is to break through, because they can't win in a fight, and they can't catch up in a chase.

To win, it depends on whether the opponent can use the size of a large company and play some dirty tricks.

"Let's call it a night," V murmured to himself, looking at the tide of guests around him, his eyes filled with naturalness.

Even though he didn't do anything, his thoughts touched everything, and everything operated spontaneously... The formless is called ghosts and gods, the formed is called the king.

...

Time flies like a white horse passing through a crack.

After all the arrangements were completed, Lin Mai breathed a slight sigh of relief. Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi, as unnecessary informants, had cameras placed on them.

In other words, even if these two planned to give him false information, they couldn't interfere with "Dexter's Kid" himself.

At the same time, in the group check-ins over the past two days, Lin Mai obtained a total of 1998 group points. In addition, the young Batman gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the group.

For Lin Mai, this newbie has the potential to grow into a big shot. It's best to get rid of depression as soon as possible, and preferably develop the ability to organize information in the future, acting as an intelligence agency for everyone in the group.

Two days later.

At 6:00 AM Beijing time, the Boeing 737 aircraft carrying Lu Mingfei, Chu Tianjiao, and Xia Mi landed at Dongning International Airport in Dongning City, Heilongjiang Province.

After landing in Dongning, they immediately took a taxi to the nearby Dongning Suifen Airport International Hotel, washed up in the hotel, changed into bright black suits, and hastily finished breakfast in the built-in restaurant on the first floor.

"Whoa, it's cold," Lu Mingfei shuddered.

He looked at Xia Mi, who was wrapped in a scarf next to him, although he couldn't understand how this guy stuffed a woolen fabric inside his suit.

"Speaking of which, won't it be colder when we get to the sea later? I guess this is the great Northeast of our country."

He couldn't help but sigh. Under the control of himself these days, the Angel Potion and K Potion did not cause him to lose his sense of cold and heat.

And the originally sleepless energy has also been improved. As long as he wants to sleep, he can enter a dream within three hours of keeping still.

This is why Lu Mingfei hasn't gone insane yet.

"No, there's air conditioning on the cruise ship," Chu Tianjiao took a sip of juice.

"Speaking of which, did your uncle and aunt really agree to let you take a week off from school?"

"Yeah."

Lu Mingfei fell into thought.

"I told them I had depression and was about to turn evil, and then I cried, made trouble, and threatened to hang myself, and they couldn't do anything about it."

"..."

Chu Tianjiao couldn't hold back.

Lu Mingfei probably did this with a bit of revenge in mind, otherwise it wouldn't be so abstract.

"So, does Teacher Lu really have no one he cares about in this world?" Xia Mi asked seriously.

"I guess."

Lu Mingfei reached out and grabbed a hamburger, then began to devour it. He still deliberately eats slowly and methodically as he used to.

But even so, it's still faster than normal people. After all, his body has evolved, and with the blessing of all aspects, even if he wants to hold back and pretend, he can't.

In fact, some things happened at Shilan Middle School when he gave the leave slip.

Even the PE teacher was taken aback and asked Lu Mingfei if he hadn't just run 1000 meters in three minutes a few days ago.

"They are taking another route. What happens on this cruise ship has nothing to do with them," Chu Tianjiao only revealed this much.

After all, among the boss group, Jiu De Mai and Su Enxi are almost bound together, and Zero and himself can act as a buffer in separate actions.

"The next thing to do is very simple. We only need to board the cruise ship, stay on it for three hours, symbolically stroll around the cruise ship, participate in the maiden voyage event, and have a meal in the cruise ship's restaurant. That's enough."

"I see..."

Lu Mingfei hissed.

Is this the wild fire that never dies, but the spring breeze blows again? Even if all of these people are sent, it doesn't matter, where the long legs fly, the chips are endless.

"So, on the surface of this mission, who exactly organized this cruise ship?"

"According to Kassel College, it used the resources of the Gattuso family, and the head of the family, Pompeii, also raised funds," Chu Tianjiao frowned: "But I have always had a strange feeling about that Pompeii Gattuso, as if the other party is not a person at all, but a... dragon."

"You dare to say that?" Lu Mingfei has also learned something more or less these days. These dragons hidden in the world are either ancient dragons or dragon kings, or even have names and surnames.

The armored incarnation he saw in the underground garage before was obviously a dragon king, although he didn't know where the other party was hiding now.

"Yes, but fortunately he didn't show up too much. Another thing worth mentioning is that Mr. McLaren, a newly emerging business tycoon, also participated in the boarding trip..."

In a place where the two did not notice.

Xia Mi's face gradually darkened.

...

At the same time.

At the other end of the old Dongning commercial street, in a B\u0026B with a daily rent of only twenty yuan.

"Ronald Tang? Oh, rare, is he Chinese?" The B\u0026B owner shook his fan, looking at the embarrassed and poor Old Tang in front of him, a smile gradually appeared on his face: "Or a college student from some foreign university?"

"No, no, no, I'm just taking the time to go home and see," Old Tang took out a bill from his pocket. The twenty-yuan denomination was folded very wrinkled by himself. The owner took the bill and looked at the young man in a neat suit.

"Okay, I'll give you a queen-size room."

The boss took out a homestay card.

“Thank you, boss.”

Old Tang nodded immediately, feeling great. He didn't have much savings anyway, and the simple daily rental price was a lifesaver.

He hadn't slept since getting off the plane, and he certainly couldn't sleep on the streets. He just needed to find a place to sit.

As for how dirty and chaotic it might be inside...

At this humble price, he could obviously adapt.

“0201…”

After receiving the homestay card, Old Tang walked along the corridor for a while, went up a flight of stairs, and was immediately shocked when he entered the room.

“Seriously?”

It was indeed more filthy than he had imagined. There was still sewage on the floor waiting to be cleaned, and almost every part of the bed had holes in it, a truly suffocating situation.

Flies buzzed around, the newly applied white paint on the walls was half a centimeter thick, and the floor tiles were cracked, with dirty cement spurting out.

“Damn it, if Mingming saw this, he'd probably tell me to check out.”

Old Tang sighed.

With that thought, he slowly opened his phone and clicked on Lu Mingfei's avatar.

“Mingming, let me show you where I'm staying. This is no place for a human.”

After typing that, he took a picture of his current surroundings and gave a peace sign, with a fly hovering over his head.

Soon after, Old Tang received a reply.

【Thanks for the invite, I'm in Heilongjiang, just got off the plane.】

【To be honest, Old Tang, I'm also participating in this Greenland Ice Sea operation, and I've already found other hunters to join up with.】

【Come on, let me show you where I'm staying!】

Following those messages, Old Tang was presented with a luxurious presidential suite. Lu Mingfei held a suite card, the magnetic core within which could open the highest-level room.

Beside him were Xia Mi and Chu Tianjiao, eating and reading. All three were wearing smart suits, embarking on a grand escape in the sun.

Xia Mi held a copy of Camus's “The Stranger,” quietly immersed in the ocean of literature, while Chu Tianjiao held a copy of “Weird Tales of the Uncanny.” The usually unreliable uncle seemed to have a different vibe about him.

Roughly speaking, Lu Mingfei was also high-end now.

“Huh?”

A question mark slowly appeared above Old Tang's head.

Wait, not only did you suddenly become a hunter, but how are you doing so well now? Is this still in China? Where on earth did you go?

Couldn't bear to see Mingfei suffer.

Even less could he bear to see Mingfei driving a Land Rover.

“Never mind, never mind.”

Old Tang sighed and then lay down on the riddled bed, feeling the rotten atmosphere around him, feeling like his heart was breaking along with it.

He only had to spend a morning in this place, and then he could stay in a big room on the cruise ship. He'd just have to put up with this dump.

“Once I get on the ship, I need to think about where I can take a shower…”

… …

Meanwhile, the Jiude Mai team.

They were indeed involved in another route, but instead of jumping directly to other ships, they were still infiltrating this cruise ship bound for Greenland.

But their role was not just as tourists, but also involved in behind-the-scenes work.

“Mr. McCallan.”

Su Enxi looked at the person who appeared before her.

His image looked particularly like a plague doctor from the Middle Ages, wearing a bird-beak mask. In that era when there was nothing but faith, bloodletting became a disaster.

And the other party seemed to want to amplify this image, not only wearing this mask, but also wearing a black leather coat from top to toe, holding a black scepter in his hand, looking unsettling.

“Miss Su, you look beautiful today.”

Mr. McCallan spoke in fluent English, and Jiude Mai immediately protected Su Enxi behind her, also using English: “Sorry, sir, we are just here to inquire about the ship.”

“Is that so…”

He nodded: “Our cruise event will be very simple. When the sky darkens, according to the weather bureau's forecast, the aurora will appear in the Greenland Sea.”

“At that time, thousands of people on the entire ship will gather on the deck for a banquet. We will sip red wine together in that land flowing with gold and honey, preparing for the sunrise that will arrive the next morning.”

“You know, sea voyages are always slow, so as the organizer, we need to do everything possible to cheer everyone up, so as to cope with the real task.”

“But Miss Jiude Mai, forgive me for being blunt, your current clothes are not suitable for boarding.”

McCallan paused, his eyes under the bird's beak glanced at Jiude Mai: “At least not neat enough.”

Jiude Mai was stunned when she heard this.

“What?”

“Your collar needs to be straightened, otherwise it will lose its beauty. I feel some Japanese ninja aura from you, are you a ninja?”

“No, I'm a ninja turtle.” Jiude Mai said seriously.

“How amusing, then that's all for now, two beautiful ladies, I look forward to seeing you again at the banquet.”

“…”

Watching Mr. McCallan's slowly leaving back.

At the departure square.

Jiude Mai broke the silence: “What do you think of that organizer, Mr. McCallan?”

“Gross.”

Su Enxi curled her lips and stomped her feet. She usually wouldn't say this word, but foreign men seemed to have no sense of boundaries, and even looked forward to seeing her again at the banquet.

The banquet was clearly her and Jiude Mai's world, okay?

“I think so too.”

Jiude Mai took a deep breath.

“Let's go, let's just wander around here, anyway, we haven't been to Heilongjiang before.” she suggested.

“Yeah.”

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Do you two remember me?”

The two of them turned their heads suddenly, but didn't see anyone speaking around them. The entire square was just emptiness, and the passing people were talking and laughing.

“Who are you?”

Jiude Mai became alert immediately.

Her skills could sense other people's breathing, but there was too much foot traffic here, so much so that even she couldn't tell the direction.

“I am… the Chainsaw Technician of Steel.”

Lin Mai slowly opened his mouth.

A three-meter-tall mechanical giant, dripping with dragon blood from head to toe, slowly emerged from the void, appearing in the field of vision of the two people who could be called tiny.
