"Report, Bronze City has been destroyed, only some wreckage remains."

"Can you find the Dragon King's bones?"

"There is... there is a frozen object buried deep in the depths. It still needs time to excavate."

"Very good, that is Norton's body. There is no mistake. We will send more divers to dig it up and try to bring it back to Kassel before January 1st."

"receive."

…

When he came out of the water, Lu Mingfei was half-sitting on a small islet in the middle of the river.

It is not formed by erosion and accumulation of soil from the upper reaches like other Jiangxin Islands.

Once upon a time this was a mountain.

As the sun and moon rotate, only the top of the mountain is left as a small island.

Looking at the calm river surface.

Lu Mingfei said nothing, as if nothing had happened.

"Are you wondering why the Dragon King looks like a human? You probably used to think that slaying a dragon means killing a big monster, but when dragons appear in front of you in human form, it's hard for normal people not to feel the same way about them.

Heart, of course you are a normal person."

A large envelope was handed to Lu Mingfei.

The little devil can always conjure strange things, just like Doraemon in the anime, but his four-dimensional pocket does not only contain high technology.

Lu Mingfei opened the envelope, his hands shaking slightly.

Inside was a photo of Old Tang, with a group of black and Latin men, probably his so-called good brothers in Brooklyn, who were not playing cards at the table.

The background is a dilapidated beer hall. The sun shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Old Tang's young face shines brightly.

"Ronald Tang, a Chinese-American, was adopted by an American family since he was a child. Of course, this is meaningless because it is all superficial information. In fact, he lost his memory after hatching from a bone bottle and fled to the United States.

.”

"In reality, no one knows who his biological parents are. Later, his adoptive father and adoptive mother also passed away, and he has been growing up on social assistance."

"He dropped out of high school and lived in a low-income area of ​​Brooklyn, New York, taking on some temporary jobs to make money."

"He secretly donated money to the orphanage where he stayed, so he was always short of money."

The little devil said softly.

"These are his past stories, and I have basically erased them from the world."

"And this photo is a souvenir I specially left for you."

"The photo that carries all the memories of Old Tang... You are such a good person." Lu Mingfei sneered.

The little devil smiled disapprovingly.

"At least now we let him live as a new human being, right?"

"In fact, when the Dragon King woke up and realized his true self, he should have severed all ties with the past. At that time, he was definitely not your friend."

Lu Mingfei nodded slightly at the little devil's statement.

Even in the end, Norton still wanted to kill him with his ability to control metal.

From this point of view, Norton is his enemy.

"They are originally noble and powerful creatures. They believe in the principle of strength, are cruel and irritable, and feelings are more like a burden to them."

"It's just that I didn't expect..."

The little devil's feet stirred back and forth in the river, causing waves of white waves.

"You can awaken the memories of Norton's life as Old Tang."

"So it was our friendship that moved you and you helped me rescue Old Tang?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"certainly……"

The little devil showed the same evil smile as the male protagonist in The Domineering President, and it perfectly matched his handsome and almost cute face.

"Of course not, it was a quarter of your life that moved me."

"Ha~" Lu Mingfei also laughed, "That's right, the devil has no emotions."

"Well, from now on I will treat you as an official customer. Thank you very much for your patronage of my business."

The little devil waved to him.

"If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me for help! You can also come to me to chat when you are lonely. You can chat about life, ideals, and relationships. If you want to talk about a few dollars, just talk about a few dollars."

The moment he put down his hand, a bronze golden gear appeared in front of the two of them.

The wheel rotated rapidly until it slowed down and stopped, and the scale stayed at seventy-five percent.

Lu Mingfei knew that this was the price for a deal with the devil, and a quarter of his life was taken away by the other party.

…

The sun was shining brightly in the morning.

Today is January 1st in the Chinese Ocean Calendar, which is New Year’s Day.

The weather has turned cooler in the south.

My uncle and aunt's home is in a second-tier small city in the south, which is not prosperous and has no heating.

Generally, children with weak bones like to turn on the air conditioner to warm their bodies but not their feet, and then curl up in bed and shiver.

Lu Mingfei didn't. He neither turned on the air conditioner nor huddled in bed. He even only wore a shirt and a thin jacket, with his sleeves rolled up.

He opened the school's website and entered his student ID and password.

There is an unread email in the inbox, the sender is Norma.

[Dear classmate Lu Mingfei]

[Your first semester gpa is 4.0, the official transcript has been printed, please see the attachment for details, keep up the good work next semester]

【Yours sincerely】

【Norma】

The grade point is 4.0, which is already a very good result in college.

After conversion, the average score for each course is between 90-100.

But Lu Mingfei knew his level.

He went to Bronze City twice, which delayed a lot of his studies. He was able to score 80 points in a few classes taught by old professors, which is an extraordinary performance.

This grade point is the result of the extra points given to him by the principal.

After he left Bronze City and returned to school.

Angers took him alone to his office for a "tea talk."

Apparently Nono had boasted to him at the beginning that this was "the principal's special attention to students with high pedigree evaluations" and "Caesar has been there many times."

This is just great.

He also became a member of the principal's "tea talk".

The principal only asked him about where he had been these past few days.

Lu Mingfei thought so before entering the office.

However, the old gentleman did not ask him where he had been, and simply told him about the internship class at the end of the semester.

Then he promised him that his grades in history class this semester would be perfect, and that he would give Lu Mingfei extra points to keep his gpa at least above 3.0.

Now the transcript is out, and it is exactly what he promised.

Lu Mingfei has excellent grades and is sought after by thousands of people.

He had a great freshman year.

Hmm...it would be even better without Fingal.

After reading the report card, he started recording the holiday daily report form.

"Have unknown dragon species been detected?"

"no!"

Where are the dragons in broad daylight?

This is a normal world!

From the moment he went on vacation, he completely cut off contact with reptiles!

Lying under the desk lamp, the red dragon cub, which had grown to half the size of Lu Mingfei's forearm, yawned.


Chapter completed!
