Chapter 15: The Road God Encounters a Setback at the Station; Fen the Beggar Repeats a Grade and Beg
Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow as he looked at the train ticket in his hand.
As a legendary figure, his reputation soared during the graduation party with the help of five burly men, a helicopter, and Su Xiaoqiang's subtle promotion, transforming him into a mysterious dragon king.
Unfortunately, Yifei flew horizontally, and he crashed and burned at the Chicago train station.
He felt he should bring the five school janitors with him.
However, since his friends said they wanted to go on a trip to the Three Gorges, he didn't insist.
There was no other way, so he spent three weeks receiving intensive English speaking training from Lao Tang and five of his buddies.
Although Kassel College is entirely taught in Chinese, if you want to study there, you'll need to know a little English along the way.
After all, you have to fly to Chicago, go to the train station, and then take a bus to school. If you don't understand any English and have to walk all the way, it's just pure abstract thinking.
And the five of us also took care of my uncle and aunt while we were at it...
Um... he wasn't killed, the lawsuit was just settled. The lawyer was incredibly skilled and got a restraining order that prevented his uncles and aunts from contacting Lu Mingfei, and they had to pay back all the money.
The five of us did our part, running around doing chores, acting as witnesses, and doing all sorts of things. So, it's a bit much that you're being helped so much and then expecting someone to give up their trip to come and accompany you to school.
But all in all, he regretted it now.
He should have shamelessly dragged along five older brothers, and then, when he asked the train conductor, he could have gotten the leader to go over.
Then, with a burst of strength, the older brother twisted the skull tattoo on his forehead into a cannibalistic shape, which would definitely scare that racist bastard into speaking normally.
But most of the more agreeable staff members responded with things like the wrong number.
For example, when Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei went to Chenliu City to meet with the eighteen warlords, they were stopped by soldiers at the gate, and then Liu Bei took out his ticket.
The soldier chuckled and said, "Liu something, Guan something, never heard of them. Did General Yuan invite you?"
It's like Harry Potter arriving at the platform, then bumping his head and finding himself at the Chicago platform. I wonder how the kid with the British hat ended up in Chicago.
Norma, the college secretary, had prepared everything for him, including everything he might need along the way, but the problem was with the train ticket.
Without hesitation, Lu Mingfei took out his phone and called Professor Guderian.
Professor Guderian truly treated him like a father and a lord, and didn't care at all that Lu Mingfei had spent a lot of his money in just a few days, because all that money was on the school's books, and he could probably give him an answer by now.
Professor Guderian on the other end of the phone still treated him like a father and a mentor.
The other party spoke kindly and gently on the phone, saying that there might be a problem with the train, but it was okay. "Mingfei, I'll transfer some money to you. You can find a hotel to stay in. I'll come pick you up on the train myself and call you when it departs."
Then Lu Mingfei saw a text message in his account indicating an increase of $10,000.
Lu Mingfei, who had become very wealthy, immediately became curious about who Professor Guderian was, whether he had some kind of leverage over the principal, and how he could be so extravagant with his money.
But as the saying goes, the poor are ignored even in the bustling city, while the rich naturally attract the poor. Whether they are attracted or not is another matter, but the attraction still exists, for example, right now.
A very tall beggar stood in front of Lu Mingfei and spoke.
"One dollar just one dollar....."
The American-style way of asking for money is not common in Lu Mingfei's hometown. Usually, people say they've been scammed and can't afford a train ticket.
But Lu Ming was no ordinary person. The court forcibly seized all of his uncle and aunt's money, and all of that money was transferred to his account.
He was probably saving it up to pay for his cousin's future marriage dowry, and then split it in half when they divorced.
Anyway, it's a lot, so much so that the ten thousand dollars that just arrived in my account seems like pocket money.
Without a doubt, he's rich, incredibly wealthy! As the saying goes, when you're successful, you should help others, so he has to give this beggar some food.
So Lu Mingfei took out the hamburger he had just bought from his pocket and gave one to the other person. Actually, there was another one that he had already taken a bite of. He regretted buying two as soon as he took a bite, feeling like someone had stuffed freshly rendered lard into his mouth.
The beggar immediately snatched the hamburger from Lu Mingfei's hand without hesitation and began to devour it in a frenzy.
Upon seeing Lu Mingfei's face, he immediately and fluently switched to speaking mode.
"Thanks for the burger, bro! Wishing you and your family happiness and prosperity!"
Seeing how professional the other person was, having learned two languages, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but chuckle and said.
"You're really something, being a professional beggar like this. Also, the hamburger I just gave you was bought with the money I won from a lawsuit with my family."
The beggar reacted quickly, swallowing the food in his mouth so that Lu Mingfei could see his face clearly. He was actually quite handsome, and with his tall stature, he could do anything but beg.
"I'm not a beggar, I'm a college student. And besides, I wish you happiness and great wealth, okay?"
"This is the first time I've ever seen a college student like you, with a scruffy beard, begging at a train station. Also, this is Coke."
Lu Mingfei reached into his backpack and pulled out a cup of cola for the college student beggar who was choking and was imitating a gorilla pounding its chest, but Lu Mingfei still questioned it.
The other person quickly gulped down several mouthfuls, and Lu Mingfei dodged the other person's long, loud burp before hearing the other person speak.
"I wish you happiness and great wealth again. Also, Fingel von Frings, I really am a college student."
Fingel pulled a textbook out of his bag, as if to prove his identity.
Lu Mingfei took the textbook. The title was written in a mix of English and Latin on the cover, but inside it was all in Chinese. It felt like the cover was just pasted on to show off.
Wait... is it in Chinese?
Lu Mingfei thought of a possibility. He looked at the college student who was wolfing down his hamburger and drinking cola like a dog and said with some difficulty.
"...Kassel College?"
The dog turned into a wolf, and Fingel's eyes instantly flashed with light. He looked at the train ticket that Lu Mingfei had taken out and began to howl to the sky.
"My dear family!!! This is true human kindness!!!"
Fingel immediately gave him a hug, but Lu Mingfei smelled the strange odor in the other man's hair and turned away from the big guy's bear hug.
"Hiccup—brother, I never thought I'd run into such a loyal and righteous brother like you at the train station."
Lu Mingfei handed his half-eaten calorie bomb to Fingel, who then opened his mouth wide and devoured the hamburger like a garbage disposal.
Lu Mingfei had a strange feeling that he could see a loyalty level increase of one above the other person's head.
But with a degree of self-awareness stemming from his limited experience, Lu Mingfei thought for a moment before speaking.
"Senior, what year are you in?"
"Eighth grade."
Lu Mingfei was shocked and immediately said that he never expected that someone as poor as you would be a master's student with an 8+3 bachelor's and master's degree. He apologized for his lack of respect.
Then Fingel chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, buddy. I just repeated a grade for four years."
