Chapter 4: Magic City - Ding Yumian
The next day, at a street corner in the Magic City
In order to find food for Little Lightning, Luo Chen went on a rare long journey.

As a natural elf, Little Lightning's growth limit is stronger than that of the elemental elves in the original book, and his appetite is much stronger than that of the elemental elves in the original book...

Luo Chen's current family background is totally unable to support Little Lightning...

In order to prevent the growth of Little Lightning from being slowed down due to resource issues, Luo Chen had to make this trip to the Magic City.

He has already planned how to earn enough resources during the summer vacation...

Luo Chen walked among the endless stream of people, staring at the location on his phone while looking at the road.

Suddenly, Luo Chen felt as if he had bumped into something, and his steps staggered for a moment. Then, with his excellent control, he regained his balance.

Luo Chen turned his head and saw a beautiful girl. Her hairstyle was somewhat fascinating, with black hair flowing down on both sides like silk. Her moving eyebrows and eyes revealed an indescribable sadness, giving people a feeling of being gentle and virtuous, yet noble and exquisite.

"Feel sorry!"

They both said this at the same time, but when they heard each other's response, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Luo Chen smiled gently and helped the girl who was knocked down by him to stand up.

The girl forced a smile, then lowered her head, bowed, and left.

Just when Luo Chen was about to leave, a voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Luo Chen, wait, don't go to the magic tool shop yet, follow the person you just bumped into."

The source of this sound was none other than a special hidden communication headset invented by Big Gray Wolf to facilitate communication with Luo Chen.

Luo Chen can use this headset to communicate with Uncle Hui who is still on the Green Grassland. Under normal circumstances, Luo Chen does not use it.

After all, Uncle Hui also has to make a living, and it’s not nice to keep disturbing him…

But the current situation is obviously not an ordinary one. After all, Luo Chen is still a beginner mage. If he encounters a high-level mage who wants to harm him, he might be in trouble. Therefore, he keeps in touch with Uncle Hui at all times to seek help in time.

"Uncle Wolf, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that girl?"

Luo Chen asked back in confusion in a voice that almost only he could hear.

"That girl is very special. When you bumped into her just now, my invention was triggered. She seems to be interfering with the emotions of you and even the people around you."

Hearing Gray Wolf's response, Luo Chen's eyes couldn't help but become serious.

"Is she a demon disguised in the Demon City? Or is she from the Black Court?"

“I’m not sure. I can only confirm that she is human, but I can’t be sure whether she did it on purpose. According to the fluctuations I just invented, if someone bumps into her again, she will definitely be so sad that she will want to jump off the building.

Even if it were you, without my invention to block it, under the influence of this mentality, your emotions would be instantly filled with sadness, and you might even do something extreme.

Let's go and see, the girl's energy response is not strong, if there is any danger, just call Little Lightning to come out and fight for her..."

Gray Wolf responded without hesitation.

Luo Chen nodded, then turned around and followed the girl.

Soon, the girl passed through the endless stream of people and came to a remote abandoned park.

"Be careful, you might be discovered. This area is a famous suicide spot, where people jump into the river and their bodies are never found. Be prepared..."

Suddenly, Uncle Hui’s reminder came from the headphones, and Luo Chen nodded.

Luo Chen held his breath and summoned a small lightning bolt, which sat on his right shoulder, ready to fight at any time...

Then he walked slowly into the park. However, when Luo Chen walked into the park, he only found
On a worn-out park bench

The girl curled up in a corner of the bench, covering her face and crying silently.

Soft sobs echoed through the park...

At the same time, the other small animals in the park seemed to be affected by something and became sad in an instant.

Luo Chen stood there hesitantly.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the girl's sobbing gradually stopped. After roughly confirming that this was not a trap set for her, she took out a few rolls of tissues from the space-transfer ring.

The girl unconsciously took the tissue and wiped her tears. Then she suddenly stopped and looked at Luo Chen who was standing beside her...

Instantly, a trace of shame flashed across the girl's eyes, but she finally responded softly:
"Thank you!"

The girl did not ask Luo Chen why he appeared here, but just expressed her gratitude softly.

"You're welcome. My name is Luo Chen."

"My name is Ding Yumian."

Ding Yumian calmed down and responded.

The moment he heard the girl's name, Luo Chen instantly confirmed her identity.

I see. I didn’t expect to meet the psychic victim in the original work by such a coincidence!
"When I accidentally bumped into you before, I saw that your expression was not right. When I saw you walking into this park, I was afraid that you might be upset, so I followed you without permission. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Ding Yumian listened to Luo Chen's explanation, smiled and shook her head.

"You misunderstood. I'm just in a bad mood. It just so happens that no one comes to this park normally, so I came here to hide..." "Really?"

Luo Chen nodded.

"Be vigilant and don't be fooled by women..."

Uncle Hui's vigilant words came from the phone, but Luo Chen shook his head softly and said:
"No need, Uncle Hui, I know this person..."

"Okay, I trust your judgment..."

Gray Wolf on the other end of the call rolled his eyes but still answered affirmatively.

Although Gray Wolf knew that Luo Chen definitely didn't know Ding Yumian, otherwise, the two would not have that kind of reaction when they bumped into each other.

But Big Bad Wolf understands that Luo Chen is not the kind of person who would forget his loyalty for the sake of beauty. If he dares to trust the other person, he must be sure of himself before doing so.

"By the way, this is your first time in the Magic City, right? I noticed you were looking at the map while walking."

"It is indeed the first time. How about you? Are you a native of the Magic City? You seem to be very familiar with the Magic City..."

"Yes, I was born in the Magic City..."

Luo Chen started chatting with Ding Yumian. Perhaps because of their similar personalities, the two chatted for several hours, from morning to noon.

Ding Yumian seemed to realize that he had been chatting for a while, so he stood up and looked at Luo Chen.

“Since this is your first time in the Magic City, I will do my duty as a good host and show you around the Magic City.

After all, looking at a map while walking is not a good habit. If I lead you, you don’t need to look at a map…”

"Thank you very much."

Luo Chen listened to Ding Yumian's suggestion and did not refuse. He nodded in agreement.

After all, my future target school is in Shanghai, so it’s not a bad thing to learn about it earlier...

Afterwards, Luo Chen, accompanied by Ding Yumian, strolled around the Magic City.

While touring the Magic City, Luo Chen also learned the reason for Ding Yumian's emotional fluctuations.

Her grandmother was given a critical illness notice by the hospital, and it seemed that she had a disease from her youth.

These diseases have little effect when we are young, but when we are older, they become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

This was like a bolt from the blue for Ding Yumian, whose parents had both passed away when he was young and who had been raised by her grandmother along with her sister.

It was for this reason that Ding Yumian went to the abandoned park and cried secretly after hearing the news.

In order to ease Ding Yumian's mood, Luo Chen generously treated her to a meal. The two chatted on the road while tasting various classic delicacies...

Until the sun sets, the afterglow of the sunset falls on the amusement park, painting the candied haws in Luo Chen and Ding Yumian's hands with a layer of golden glow.

It was time for Ding Yumian to go home. After leaving her contact information, she waved her hand reluctantly and then turned back to the hospital.

Luo Chen also waved his hand, looked in the direction of Ding Yumian and sighed...

"Lifespan?"

Luo Chen shook his head helplessly, then turned and walked towards his hotel.

He came to the Magic City to obtain a large amount of resources.

After all, he is not alone now. He still has a spirit to raise. If he wants Little Lightning to grow up, the resources he needs to consume will definitely be terrifying...

As for Luo Chen, the way he wanted to obtain resources at the beginning was naturally to purchase materials, make magic tools, and earn the difference.

After all, he has the help of the almighty scientist Wolf, so making magic tools has never been a problem for Uncle Wolf.

However, after this accidental encounter, Luo Chen discovered that he had fallen into a misconception of thinking.

Why do I have to sell things that already exist in this world?

After all, there is an upper limit to the price of magic tools.

But there is one category of goods whose price is almost priceless.

That is... life span.

Luo Chen remembered the information that he seemed to have overlooked. In this magical world, even a wizard who was powerful enough to destroy forbidden spells within a radius of hundreds of kilometers would only have a lifespan of about a hundred years.

Life is the most precious thing in this world.

And I just happen to have the means to prolong my life, or even turn back the aging process!!!

Thinking of this, Luo Chen smiled instantly and then pressed the call button next to his ear.

"Uncle Wolf, do you have any life potions left? I want them all. I'll exchange them for canned mutton!"
