Chapter 90: Changing Numbers and Going Online

"Brother."

Someone softly called out in the darkness.

So annoying! Whose child has gone missing?

Old Tang shifted his body on the plane.

"Brother, I'm leaving."

The child whispered.

Old Tang suddenly felt a bit reluctant. He opened his eyes and chased after him.

The scorching breath, the ubiquitous flames, the entire city was burning.

On a huge signboard, the faint words "White Emperor" could be seen. In the center stood a tall pole, with the child hanging at the top, as if all the flames were burning him.

Old Tang blurted out, "Constantine!"

He suddenly sat up.

Outside the window were pure white clouds.

"Sir? Did you have a nightmare?"

A flight attendant walked over and asked.

"Sorry, sorry. I had a nightmare."

Old Tang noticed that many people were looking at him. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Could you please bring me a glass of water?"

"Please wait a moment."

The flight attendant smiled professionally and quickly brought a glass of water.

Old Tang drank it all in one gulp and felt refreshed.

"White Emperor? Little boy? Is it because I've been watching Three Kingdoms recently?"

He looked puzzled and complained, "Can't I dream about Diao Chan or Xiao Qiao? Why dream about the White Emperor adopting a child? It's so unlucky!"

Old Tang, whose real name was Ronald Tang, was a bounty hunter.

He didn't know who his biological parents were and made a living by earning money from the hunter website, barely getting by.

The hunter website was created by a big shot, and as long as you accepted and completed missions, you could receive a bounty.

Most hunters were very capable.

But Old Tang's special ability was luck.

No matter if he went to ancient tombs or sunken ships, he always had good luck.

Even in many strange places.

Yes, he had many secrets in his heart, the kind that would get him in trouble if he spoke out and the FBI would come knocking.

He had seen things similar to zombies before.

Just like the Lich or Bone Dragon in World of Warcraft, they weren't human, they could jump and bounce, and couldn't be killed.

But he was like the lover of the goddess of luck, these strange things would run away when they saw him.

Old Tang didn't know how to explain it, he could only be sure that his superpower was luck.

Relying on this characteristic, he completed many high-level missions and gained some fame on the hunter website.

But as a person, he couldn't rely on luck to live.

Old Tang didn't have many aspirations, most of the money he earned was donated to orphanages, and the rest he spent on himself.

Only when he ran out of money would he reluctantly take on missions.

Most of the time, he played games.

Lu Mingfei was his only friend.

Old Tang didn't come to Chicago this time specifically to visit Lu Mingfei, after all, Chicago was quite far away and the plane ticket was expensive.

He came because of a mission.

On the hunter website, relying on his luck, he snatched a low-risk but high-reward mission.

It was to infiltrate a university in Chicago.

As for university students, he knew them well. In terms of fighting, he definitely couldn't do it.

Anyway, it's very safe.

The plane landed at Chicago airport.

Old Tang looked out at the crowd and quickly found Lu Mingfei.

He was holding a sign with just two Chinese characters on it, "Old Tang."

In addition to Lu Mingfei, there was also a handsome and imposing young man.

"Old Tang!"

Lu Mingfei waved vigorously and immediately returned the rented sign to the middle-aged man next to him.

"Let me introduce you, my roommate and boss, Lin Jianglong, as I told you before."

"Hello, my name is Ronald Tang, just call me Old Tang like Lu Mingfei."

"Okay. Let's go eat first, I've already found a place."

Li Xiang smiled and pointed to a Bugatti Veyron.

"Wow, that's awesome!"

Old Tang's eyes lit up, as if he had just seen a new StarCraft game.

"I won a bet against some rich second generation."

Li Xiang shrugged and said, "I'm not bored enough to buy a car like that."

"Why haven't I met such a stupid rich second generation?"

Old Tang got excited and got in the car without any hesitation.

He had heard Lu Mingfei mention Lin Jianglong several times, so he was not unfamiliar with him.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Calling Caesar a stupid rich second generation, you really live up to your name, Old Tang.

Li Xiang glanced at him and said with a smile, "You should get in the car too."

Lu Mingfei didn't have a driver's license, so he could only drive himself.

And Norton, the Dragon King, had the right to call Caesar that, no problem.

The three of them chatted as they arrived at a barbecue restaurant in Chinatown.

Li Xiang didn't book any fancy Western food, just a roadside stall.

Old Tang was obviously very satisfied and said to Lu Mingfei, your rich second generation brother is quite something.

After eating and drinking, they went to a KTV to sing.

Li Xiang jokingly asked if they should invite two princesses, but was shyly rejected by Old Tang and Lu Mingfei.

After nightfall, he had originally planned to find a hotel.

But Old Tang and Lu Mingfei dragged him to an internet cafe for an all-nighter.

Li Xiang looked helpless.

Speaking of which, in his previous life, he would occasionally stay up all night at an internet cafe with his roommates.

But he didn't really like the smell of smoke.

Later on, he didn't have the energy to stay up all night, so he didn't go much anymore.

The three of them parted ways the next day.

"I took on a part-time job, I'll find you guys after I finish it."

Old Tang shook his head, he hadn't slept all night, feeling a bit dizzy, but fortunately it didn't affect him much.

His body had always been strong since he was young.

Just like an energetic monster.

"What kind of part-time job? Making you travel from New York to Chicago?"

Lu Mingfei curiously asked.

He knew that this online friend of his didn't have a regular job and barely made a living by doing part-time work.

"The illegitimate child of a certain rich woman."

Old Tang made up a story, "I heard she was brought to Chicago by her mistress."

"Wow, the entertainment industry is really chaotic."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand and said, "See you next time, if I don't have class, I'll definitely help you."

Back at Cassel College, Li Xiang continued to study his alchemy-related textbooks.

The seven books were as thick as bricks, and even though he had a photographic memory, he couldn't finish reading them so quickly.

In the afternoon, there was a knock on their dormitory door.

Lu Mingfei was playing StarCraft.

Feng'er opened the door and asked, "What's up?"

"I'm from the Student Union. President Caesar invites you to attend the dinner and social dance tonight at the Amber Hall."

The young man left after leaving the invitation.

Feng'er looked at it and said, "It's like a feast at Hongmen, my two junior brothers."

Li Xiang looked up and, if he remembered correctly, the attack would happen tonight.

This dance was a significant event.

"Boss, should we go?"

Lu Mingfei turned his head and asked.

"Why not?"

Li Xiang asked in return, "Otherwise, Feng'er will definitely say on the Night Watchman Forum that we're afraid of Caesar."

"How could I?"

Feng'er immediately protested, "We're roommates. How could I do such a thing?!"

"Well, we're roommates, so we have a good relationship, so you have to pay, right?"

Li Xiang rolled his eyes.

Feng'er smiled awkwardly.

He increasingly felt that Li Xiang could inherit his position as the Minister of the News Department.

Li Xiang made a phone call and had two sets of formal attire delivered.

As for Feng'er, he definitely had his own.

Having been here for eight years, he was already an old hand.

"By the way, junior brother, there's something I need your help with."

Feng'er put on a flattering smile and said, "Please arrange two dance partners for us at the dance."

Li Xiang was reminded by him and remembered this.

Recently, he had been in the limelight, and there must be many beautiful women who wanted to invite him to dance.

"Aren't you the former heartthrob of Cassel College? How come you can't find a dance partner?"

"Cough cough, you know, I offended a lot of people when I was the Minister of the News Department."

"Figure it out yourself."

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "Anyway, Mingfei will definitely have someone invite him."

Night fell.

The Amber Hall was bustling.

Li Xiang glanced around and found that everyone there was a member of the Student Union.

Only he and Lu Mingfei were from the Lionheart Society.

It really felt a bit like the Feast at Hongmen.

After they arrived at the entrance, Caesar came out.

Dressed in white formal attire, he looked more like a Western nobleman.

"Welcome, Lin Jianglong."

Caesar smiled faintly and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"How can I not give face to the president of our Student Union?"

Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Hope you have a good time."

Caesar stepped aside to let them in.

"He's really rich."

Lu Mingfei turned around and couldn't help but gasp.

Countless roses were unloaded from a pickup truck and spread out in front of the Amber Hall.

Then the protagonist appeared.

Chen Motong.

"What? Do you also want this kind of treatment?"

Li Xiang asked.

"No, no, just thinking about Caesar welcoming me with these roses makes me want to vomit."

Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hand.

"..."

Li Xiang felt a bit helpless. Couldn't he be more bold?

What if it's a dragon?

The buffet inside the hall was sumptuous, and Li Xiang even saw Chinese food.

Apart from being a bit "pretentious," Caesar really had no flaws.

The only annoying thing was that people kept inviting him.

Meanwhile, Lu Mingfei and Feng'er were sitting there, gnawing on lobsters with a look of sorrow and indignation.

The music started, and the dance officially began.

Li Xiang saw Zero, she was the principal violinist in the band.

"Mingfei."

"What's up?"

Lu Mingfei wiped his mouth and asked.

"Have you seen that girl?"

Li Xiang pointed at Zero and said, "She just came over and told me that she wants to dance with you, but she's too shy, so she hopes you can invite her."

"Are you kidding me?"

Lu Mingfei was shocked.

This must be nonsense.

A girl as beautiful as an Ultimate actually likes me?

"Go."

Li Xiang smiled and said, "I never lie to you, and do you want to dance with Feng'er?"

Lu Mingfei shivered.

Two big men dancing together would be social suicide!

And it's with Feng'er, who has had bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Lu Mingfei gathered his courage and ran up to Zero, asking, "Would you like to dance with me?"

Zero looked straight into his face, her eyes complex and full of emotions, completely unlike a typical girl.

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

Was this the first time he encountered such a situation?

Could it be that someone is really infatuated with him?

"Clap!"

Zero took out a pair of silver high heels, tightened her abdomen, and straightened her chest, exuding a queen's aura.

She slowly raised her arm, grabbed Lu Mingfei, and said, "I would."

Laughter and astonishment ceased.

Everyone watched the magnificent dance on the dance floor, with swirling skirts and dazzling lights.

Li Xiang left the Amber Hall.

[Consuming five simulation coins, summoning Higuchi Hiyuki.]

His main account was about to go online.

Thanks to the rewards from Dawn in the South, c陳, and the Dream Dragon for their support. PS: Three thousand words, third update. The ten-thousand-word story ends.
