During that 7-day event, Chen Luo increasingly felt that magic was an incredibly convenient thing, especially for clearing areas—the advantages of a mage were truly unparalleled.
Without these spells, Chen Luo wouldn't have learned so many wind-based magics, which would inevitably have caused him some difficulties.
It's just a pity that the "Complete Guide to Basic Elemental Magic" mostly contained truly basic spells.
Chen Luo's change of mind to go to the hospital where Yun Lian'er was staying this morning and accompany her while she studied wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Chen Luo had considered hiding it or something similar, but Chen Luo had turned on the lights yesterday.
That's right, he turned on the lights in his own house.
Details determine success or failure.
Sometimes the details you overlook can be your downfall.
This was something Chen Luo only realized this morning.
Chen Luo wasn't entirely sure whether Yun Lian'er, Liu Wenxuan, Yun Xia, or those people from the Church had someone watching his house. Even though seven days had passed, Chen Luo never underestimated the perseverance of people from the hidden world.
Just like how Chen Luo wasn't sure if the scratches on his bicycle would attract the Church's attention, so he used Primogems to repair the bicycle, Chen Luo also wasn't sure if someone might notice he had returned because of the lights being on.
And if someone did notice, then continuing to pretend he hadn't returned would be trying to cover up too obviously—protesting too much. Who else would they investigate then?
On the contrary, going out openly might actually dispel some of the suspicion.
Chen Luo would absolutely not give anyone any opportunity to suspect him or disturb his peaceful life.
Chen Luo could allow people in other worlds to harbor hostility towards him, because if things got bad, he could just run away, right?
But in this world, Chen Luo aimed to eliminate any potential disasters that might arise, even if it meant possibly losing some "fat sheep".
Chen Luo rode his bicycle towards the hospital, following the familiar route, occasionally rubbing the storage ring on his finger.
The storage ring simulated by Void Archives could absolutely achieve 100% replication, so there was no need to worry about others detecting any flaws.
It was precisely because Chen Luo needed to leave home that he used Void Archives to replicate this storage ring.
The Herrscher of Sentience's storage ring probably already contained many of her personal items, and Chen Luo felt she really should have her own storage ring, so it wasn't appropriate to take it back.
One could say that in his own world, Chen Luo was extremely cautious.
Having a storage ring but not carrying it would indeed be a small, but not insignificant, point of suspicion.
It's just a pity that this storage ring couldn't be used.
It's not that the storage ring had any functional deficiencies—it worked perfectly well. The problem was that if Void Archives was used for combat, any items originally inside the storage ring would be instantly crushed by spatial forces if not removed in time.
As for someone discovering that Void Archives transformed from the storage ring during use... that wasn't a concern, because those who witnessed it would likely become corpses afterward, and dead men tell no tales. Their bodies might even be dragged by Chen Luo to other parallel worlds.
Besides this, Chen Luo now wore an additional accessory.
A necklace, with a Vision hanging from it.
The Vision needs no explanation, but that necklace had its own story—it was a Dominion Key.
Because Chen Luo discovered that if the Dominion Key was placed in his inventory, although it could still function, its effects would be weakened.
Originally, it granted Chen Luo the abilities of a Close Combat Grand Master and Cold Weapons Grand Master. But simply putting it in his inventory would weaken it to a relatively weaker version of Close Combat Grand Master and Cold Weapons Grand Master—only slightly stronger than Master level.
Wearing it around his neck, on one hand, allowed the Vision to be better positioned on his body to absorb spiritual energy, and on the other hand, it could be used for defense.
Both the Vision and the Dominion Key, given as a favorability gift, possessed a considerable degree of indestructibility.
The Dominion Key's indestructibility was explicitly stated, and the same was true for Mobius's scalpel. The Vision's indestructibility was something Chen Luo tested himself.
If someone tried to assassinate Chen Luo and he didn't react in time, but the Vision blocked it, wouldn't that be wonderful?
The probability was small, but not zero.
Although Chen Luo had Mobius's ability to resurrect, this wasn't a reason to display this resurrection ability in front of others.
Chen Luo in other worlds took all sorts of risks; Chen Luo in this world played it safe.
Although it sounded somewhat embarrassing, it was for the safety of himself and his family, so it wasn't shameful.
Of course, if he were truly exposed, there were solutions. At that time, moving the whole family to another world would solve the problem, right?
Moving—such things weren't common, but they weren't rare either. So what if the move was a bit far? Not a big problem.
It just so happened that his parents liked honeymoons; wouldn't going to another world for a honeymoon be even more romantic?
Of course, all this was hypothetical.
Moving to another world, although it sounded simple, required abandoning all social connections, so unless absolutely necessary, this method wouldn't be used.
After more than ten minutes, Chen Luo successfully arrived at the hospital. Under the accustomed gazes of the medical staff, he headed towards the top floor.
But when Chen Luo walked up the stairs in the morning and reached the area outside Yun Lian'er's hospital room, he saw Sister Meng, dressed in a maid outfit, seeing off a seemingly somewhat rigid middle-aged man.
As Chen Luo passed by him, he frowned because Chen Luo sensed an aura somewhat similar to that on the Demon-Slaying Holy Spear.
That person also gave Chen Luo a meaningful look, then left without looking back.
"That person... is he from the Church?" Chen Luo stood in front of Sister Meng and asked with a frown.
"Yes, indeed he is. But I'm curious, A'Luo, how could you tell?" Sister Meng looked at Chen Luo with a gentle smile, then knocked on the door behind her, though she didn't seem to intend to bring Chen Luo inside immediately.
Chen Luo noticed Sister Meng's small action but didn't pay it much mind.
"I've heard about the Church from my friends, and most importantly, the feeling he gave me was very similar to that spear an unknown person gave me at the station that day. That spear was called the Demon-Slaying Holy Spear, so figuring out his identity was quite simple. I just don't know what rank he holds in the Church." Chen Luo explained.
"Very clever, as expected of Little Luo." Sister Meng continued with her gentle smile.
"Sister Meng, since you're in such a good mood, could you answer a question for me?" Chen Luo asked, stroking his chin as he looked at her.
Chen Luo had wanted to ask many questions for a long time.
Like where is the succubus tail? Could he touch it, and so on.
"Of course, I'll answer any question, provided it doesn't involve the young lady. Questions about the young lady still need to be asked by you yourself." Sister Meng replied in a very tolerant and gentle tone.
To be honest, based on Chen Luo's understanding of Sister Meng, if it weren't for the talent panel showing she was a succubus, he'd really suspect she was some kind of saint or something.
What kind of succubus speaks so softly and gently?
"Ah, I was originally going to ask what your talent is, Sister Meng, but you reminded me. I won't ask anything related to Little Lian. I just want to ask: do you know Yun Xia?"
Chen Luo suddenly remembered that Sister Meng hadn't introduced her own talent yet. Him knowing she was a succubus was a special case, so he absolutely couldn't ask such questions.
But Chen Luo had another question he really wanted to ask.
Both Yun Xia and Yun Lian'er were S-rank talent holders. With Chen Luo's novel-reader-level associative ability, he had already concocted a million-word saga of love and hatred in his mind.
Visibly, the smile on Sister Meng's face stiffened for a moment before quickly returning to normal: "Of course I know her. After all, she's an S-rank talent holder in the city; it's normal to know her."
"Emmm..." Chen Luo now suddenly regretted not having exchanged for the Herrscher of Sentience's authority.
Because Chen Luo currently couldn't tell whether Sister Meng was telling the truth or only part of the truth.
The Herrscher of Sentience did sometimes leave him, like when she went to accompany Book of Fuxi.
Chen Luo considered exchanging for the Herrscher of Sentience's talent, but not now.
"Alright, don't stand at the door any longer; it's time to go in." Just as Chen Luo wanted to press further, Sister Meng turned the handle of the hospital room door behind her and invited Chen Luo inside.
At that, Chen Luo had nothing more to say.
The door was open; could he not go in?
"Lian'er, long time no see." As soon as Chen Luo entered, he greeted the girl who was reading a book.
However, Chen Luo suspected that she had probably just picked up the book.
"Long time no see. Didn't you say you might not come on Saturdays and Sundays?" Yun Lian'er asked, tilting her head.
"I said I wouldn't come if I didn't have time. But isn't it that I have time again after finishing my trip?" Chen Luo shrugged.
"Then... what book do you want to read today?"
[Ding! You have a new commission!]
It was the familiar Primogems again, but this time it was 10 more Primogems than the previous 100, and instead of a random art-related skill, it gave a random magic spell.
As expected of an Elemental Mage, isn't it?
"I'll read this book. Oh, by the way, Little Lian, thank you for this book; it was a great help." Chen Luo said as he took out the grimoire Yun Lian'er had given him.
"You're welcome, it was just a small effort." Yun Lian'er smiled.
At the same time, Yun Lian'er glanced at the storage ring on Chen Luo's finger.
"This wasn't just a small effort; the young lady spent several days, staying up late, to write this grimoire." Sister Meng suddenly leaned close to Chen Luo and said.
"Ahem, Sister Meng, don't talk nonsense." Yun Lian'er gave Sister Meng a reproachful look.
"Oh, right, I happen to have a small travel gift for you." Seeing Sister Meng's suggestive look, Chen Luo took another gold coin from his inventory—or rather, Mora.
Chen Luo walked to Yun Lian'er's side and placed the Mora in her hand.
"This is... Mora?" Looking at the peculiarly shaped gold coin, Yun Lian'er hesitated for a moment before uttering this somewhat unbelievable name.
"Huh? Little Lian, do you play Genshin Impact too?" Chen Luo asked curiously.
Chen Luo had thought that a mage like Yun Lian'er, with her extensive reading, wouldn't be interested in games like Genshin Impact? Or perhaps she didn't have time to be interested, since she needed to study magic.
"Originally, the young lady didn't play Genshin Impact, but just a few days ago, because of someone, she started playing Genshin Impact." Sister Meng didn't say much, but it seemed like she said everything.
Especially when Sister Meng looked at the Vision hanging from Chen Luo's chest, it explained everything.
"Ahem, well, A'Luo, where did you get this Mora?" Yun Lian'er asked gravely while rubbing the Mora in her hand.
"You might not believe this, but I went to another world." Chen Luo also replied very seriously.
"...Alright, stop joking. This is really important." Yun Lian'er said somewhat helplessly.
"..."
Sigh, if you don't believe me when I tell the truth, then there's nothing I can do.
"Alright, maybe you know, maybe you don't. In short, let me introduce my talent. My talent is 'Wandering Swordsman,' so I need to travel everywhere. Of course, you can also call me the Traveler. And after finishing a trip to a suitable place, if certain specific requirements are met, I receive a travel reward, which is Mora. But there's only one Mora per location. It's like... a check-in reward." Chen Luo used an appropriate metaphor to explain.
Of course, since she didn't believe him when he told the truth earlier, this time Chen Luo was lying.
Although Chen Luo hadn't been to Teyvat, he had many guests from Teyvat.
The Mora in Chen Luo's hand wasn't the one Venti brought the first time he came to the bar, but the one Eula gave him yesterday.
Yesterday, Eula seemed to get drunk accidentally, or perhaps drank too much due to daytime stress, and threw a small bag of Mora onto the bar counter, then insisted that Chen Luo dance with her.
Although Chen Luo was quite tempted by the suggestion, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he painfully refused.
After drinking a sobering beverage and sobering up, Eula heard about her embarrassing incident and blushed deeply.
In the end, she stubbornly said, ["Vengence will be mine"] then insisted that Chen Luo accept the Mora, calling it—a tip.
"I see... is the output very low?"
"Very low. Why do you ask?" Chen Luo inquired.
"This Mora... perhaps, like the Mora in the game, is a peculiar magical catalyst. The quality is quite good. If the output were sufficient, it could be used for daily magic research. But since the output is extremely low... Of course, I will treasure this Mora you gave me." Perhaps worried that Chen Luo might misunderstand, Yun Lian'er added.
"Oh, by the way, have you given this kind of Mora... to anyone else?" Yun Lian'er specifically asked.
"No." Chen Luo shook his head.
"Very... ahem, you should spend more time reading the grimoire I gave you over there. You should be able to use some of the Wind magic inside. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me." Although Yun Lian'er didn't say it, Chen Luo could see she was inexplicably happy.
