After that day, Lu Mingfei also enjoyed the happiness of being a man of great influence, and even took over Lu Mingze's nickname of Mr. Lu.
As for the gold coin, Chen Wenwen made a special trip the next day to return it to Lu Mingfei.
"This is too expensive, I can't have it."
Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the gold coins. He didn't want to see Chen Wenwen struggling with such a thing.
"Are you going abroad?"
Chen Wenwen recalled what happened yesterday and finally asked
"No, there are still two years left, but my parents got me a letter of recommendation, so I have a little chance."
Recalling the declaration he made in front of everyone last night, Lu Mingfei wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground. His words were too serious. What if he couldn't go by then.
"Then, come on!"
Chen Wenwen waved her little hand, which made Lu Mingfei, who was drowsy from the heat, suddenly energetic.
"What about you? Do you want to study abroad?"
"Me? I want to go to the Chinese Department of Yanda."
After returning that day, Lu Mingfei had been torn between studying abroad and taking the college entrance examination, but there was no need to worry...
After all, he had two years to think about this problem, which is a long time, isn't it?
As for Lu Mingze's family, Ander had no preference. Lu Mingze's grades were actually better than Lu Mingfei's, so Ander told him:
"You study hard. If you want to study abroad, I will help you."
However, uncle and aunt were still confused as to why Lu Mingze was not sent to Kassel directly.
"Because when Lu Lincheng was studying, he beat up the school director's son in the college, and even stole his crush's girlfriend..."
"So letting Lu Mingfei get the recommendation letter is the limit that Lu Lincheng can do."
After hearing Ander's words, Auntie showed a look of understanding.
"I knew he wasn't a fuel-efficient person."
While muttering, she sent Lu Mingze to learn English. Studying abroad is still a good way out now, and returnees from overseas are quite valuable.
"Although I have a letter of recommendation, I still can't fall behind in my studies. I hope you can supervise me more."
The aunt's surname is Li, and her name is Pan. It sounds nice, but she is a bit biased. When facing Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, she naturally favors her son.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on them."
From that day on, the two of them lived a hard life studying for IELTS and TOEFL, memorizing vocabulary words, and answering questions.
And what is the initiator of all this, our protagonist Ender, doing?
Running a group.
Team running is the common name for tabletop role-playing games (TRPG). People play as powerful wizards or investigators with zero SAN values on a small desktop to complete stories one after another.
The most famous among them is Dungeons and Dragons (DND). This tabletop game is said to have been invented by an insurance salesman in Wisconsin, but some people say that the inventor behind it is someone else.
And Ender is now spread out on a sofa, playing the DND running game with five other people.
"Tang, it's your turn."
"Now I am Toby the halfling thief, not Ronald Don."
The Chinese man complained and said to the host (called DM in the game):
"I'm going to sneak up behind him and give him a kiss on the waist."
That's right, the official identity of this Ronald Down is none other than the legendary Lord of Bronze and Fire: Norton.
Who would have thought that this Dragon King is actually a DND enthusiast who likes to play the role of a thief, detecting traps in dungeons, opening treasure chests, and giving enemies a leg up on the side.
Ender observed Old Tang's reaction. He had just failed in his stealth attempt and tripped over a stone on the ground, triggering the trap. Now an ogre was released and menacingly approached several people who had reached a dead end.
"My mentality is really good. It must have been my third big failure just now."
Old Tang was still smiling, not affected by today's bad dice luck at all.
I don’t know why, but this Dragon King hidden among humans is not very lucky. In his own words, he uses all his luck at work, so there is always something wrong with the dice.
"But it doesn't matter, randomness is the charm of the game."
Old Tang said with a smile that he had just completed a large project recently and took out a golden mask from a lost pyramid, which gave him a lot of free time and money.
But what he didn't know was that there was a third-generation species hidden inside that pyramid, and those seemingly harmless decorative statues were stuffed with living creatures, ready to bury invading enemies in the sand at any time.
However, these terrifying things can only tremble in front of a Dragon King, and they dare not show their anger.
Later, after Old Tang left, the executive department sent three combat teams, smashed half of the pyramid, and finally killed the dragons awakened by Old Tang's blood, leaving them to sleep in the desert forever.
However, the execution department quickly discovered Old Tang's magical power. Most of the places where this guy went on missions had some minor problems. They were usually the hiding places of the dragon clan or the warehouses of ancient alchemy items.
Relying on the attraction between this dragon king and the dragon clan, the performance of the execution department has increased significantly during this period, and there was even a strange scene of slaying two dragons in one month.
After returning to the United States, Ander felt that he needed to observe the King of Bronze and Fire up close, so he took the opportunity to participate in a running game with Old Tang.
I have to say that the former announcer was quite competent as a DM, giving Ender the feeling that he was still taking risks.
But the game didn't go very smoothly, mainly because Old Tang's dice luck often had problems, and there were always a few unscrupulous people in the team trying to cause trouble, such as...
"Ender, you can't use Charm Human on that village girl."
"Why not? I should have brought this spell?"
The DM sighed and said:
"You can ask her for information, but since there are minors here, can you delete the sentence "Come to my room?"
Well, trying to do weird things with cute NPCs fits the image of the dragonborn bard played by Ender.
In the end, the group of people finally broke through the layers of blockade and successfully obtained the treasure left by an archmage.
Although the process was very tortuous, and several people came out of the dungeon with not much clothes left, they couldn't help but cheer when they finally successfully passed the level.
"Wonderful performance, and the last verse is quite beautiful, Mr. Ander."
"With some past experience, you did a good job and stole the key from that ogre, Ronald."
The two Chinese people complimented each other and parted ways at an intersection. Ander got into a sports car on the side of the road and looked at Angers in the driver's seat.
"It's unbelievable that I actually played a game with the King of Bronze and Fire."
Angers slowly drove the sports car and asked curiously:
"How does it feel?"
"It's so normal. I quietly released a detection camp. Guess what?"
"Chaotic evil?"
"No, it's his chaotic kindness. His moral level is even higher than yours."
By the way, Angers' alignment is lawful neutral, and even Ender's blood couldn't turn him into a fool of the chaotic alignment.
"It's completely different from the legendary Norton. It's just like..."
Ender scratched his chin, never thinking of a good word, and finally said:
