Dragon Race: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 56 "Lifting Weights Like Light"

At the gate of the bustling Chicago train station, many travelers noticed the tall, handsome young man.

His black windbreaker was flapping in the cold wind. Although it wasn't a famous brand, the blood on the back of the windbreaker with spread wings was extremely eye-catching.

Not everyone is familiar with famous clothing brands. Most of the time, people's own temperament overrides good clothing.

Regardless of identity and status, when people first see this young man with a suitcase, the first thing they feel is a kind of peace and tranquility.

Even if a whole group of armed terrorists rushed in the next second, there was no need to be afraid, this young man would step forward and wipe them all out.

This can't help but make people more curious about his identity, and even a bold girl stepped forward, wanting to talk to him with a bright and moving smile.

After Lu Mingfei politely stated to the girl that he could not speak English and rejected the girl's conversation, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and checked the time:
15: 50.

He opened the text message from Norma again:
"Dear student Lu Mingfei, this is a task message.

Please be sure to arrive at the Chicago train station at 16:00 Chicago time today. There will be a silver Porsche car waiting for you at the gate of the train station with the license plate number 'CAS001'.

For specific task details, please ask the person in charge of the task on the bus. Please don’t worry about your attendance. The executive department has already asked the professors of each subject for leave for the next two days on your behalf. "

The person in charge of driving a Porsche... There is no doubt that the principal of Angers, Kassel College, from professors to students, loves to drive this type of high-end car.

Once he and Chu Zihang were invited to the student union's dance party. That night, all kinds of luxury cars parked at the entrance of the Ambo Hall could hold a luxury car exhibition hall, and only the two of them walked here.

Later, Chu Zihang said that as a battle group leader, you need a means of transportation anyway.

Lu Mingfei thought it was true, but it was a pity that there were no tanks and chariots like "Rand Raider" or "Predator" to buy, so he had to show that he belonged to the Weeping Angel on the Mercedes-Benz sent by Chu Zihang's home. unique artistic style.

Judging from the time, it seems that I came a little early, and the person in charge of the task has not yet appeared.

Just when Lu Mingfei was thinking of going back to the train station to sit quietly and wait, a silver Xunying drove into his sight.

In the convertible sports car, the old man with silver-white hair smiled and waved to him.

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and got on the Porsche 911 Carrera in Angers under the eyes of the pedestrians who stopped by to observe the good cars and good people.

"It seems that I came just in time?"

Angers smiled, a bright red rose was stuck on the chest of the black tailored suit.

"It's okay...why do you want to drive this kind of car?"

Lu Mingfei frowned.

"Even though it's not mine, it's a nice car."

The engine roared cheerfully, and the silver cheetah galloped forward with the melodious aria.

"There's not even a cover...Let's not talk about bullets, even if a brick falls, it can smash our heads."

"...and the car is not pretty."

Lu Mingfei sighed.

"...Your alertness is pretty good, but trust me, there's only a 3% chance of a fight on this mission."

Angers couldn't help laughing. He was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the silver cheetah was galloping on the highway.

"And this car is also good, it drives fast. If there is a fight, we can run faster even if we are old and young."

The Porsche didn't know how many traffic lights it rushed through, until it stopped at a certain quiet section of the road.

"Tell me about the auction we are going to participate in this time."

"Sotheby's Auction House, one of the best auction houses in the world, is an important place for the circulation of artworks."

"It is usually only opened twice a year. The first time is mostly normal artworks, occasionally mixed with a few alchemy items; the second time is dedicated to serving mixed races, auctioning alchemy items collected from all over the world."

"I thought there was something that might interest you."

Angers handed over a beautifully printed booklet, "Turn to page seven."

The seventh page of the information is an ancient parchment book with about twenty pages, and the photos only show the key ring-like words on the cover of the book.

"what is this?"

Lu Mingfei asked.

"The construction book of the alchemy field - 'Lifting weight like light'."

"Lifting weight like light?"

"Yes, such a field of alchemy is recorded in this book."

"It can impose an alchemical field that cannot be expanded outside and can only exist on itself, and greatly reduces the weight of the object."

"I have heard about your cooperation with the neuropaths in the equipment department. You seem to be collaborating on research... Uh, miniature Gundam? Anyway, it's quite mysterious, but I think you also need this kind of thing."

Angers said.

"This is indeed a good thing...but other mixed-race forces should also grab it, right?"

Lu Mingfei admits that this field of alchemy is indeed of great use to him at present, and the difficulty of the weight of the classic armor may be overcome.

"Of course they will grab it, but they may not be willing to pay too much."

"A book on the construction of the alchemy field requires an alchemist to study it, and the world's top alchemist is in our academy."

Angers smiled.

"Which one?"

"Vice-principal, Nicholas Flamel, his predecessor is the only person in the world who refined the Philosopher's Stone."

"But... I have no money."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, and finally said helplessly.

Why not just recycle (grab) it directly...

From an Astartes point of view, this alien technology/sorcery should be forcibly recovered and let him keep it.

"There is no need to worry about this," Anger handed over an envelope, "Norma deposited 500 million US dollars in your student ID card as a deposit and expenses."

"You just hold up the sign, and the follow-up academy will help you make up for the excess of $500 million."

Inside the envelope was a golden invitation letter signed "Katos.Lu (Katos.Lu)".

The students of the academy generally have a task ID——Katos is the name of the Weeper warrior who saved himself from the orcs. Lu Mingfei inherited the other party’s gene seed, and also inherited the other party’s identity and glory. .

"However, since the academy paid for it, wouldn't it be good for you to film it directly, principal? I don't mind just being in charge of watching the show."

"Almost all the mixed races know me and the secret party behind me. If I raise the sign, it proves that this thing is valuable; some people don't mind holding up the sign several times to raise the price with me, asking me to pay more."

"You are different. Your current identity is still a secret. The other mixed races don't know that you are a student of Kassel for the time being."

As Angers said, he took out a bottle of red wine from the slot in the car door, "Would you like a drink? Celebrate the completion of our mission in advance?"

"No thanks."

Lu Mingfei shook his head and put away the envelope.

"Are you taking me there, or am I going to walk there by myself?"

"Now you can't show up with me, but it won't make you walk to the auction house to drop the price. A car will come to pick you up later."

Anger smiled, and glanced at the suitcase at Lu Mingfei's feet, "Another reminder, the auction house is not allowed to bring any guns and weapons into the auction house."
