Chapter 224

"Xiaoyu, you did well—look at Mrs. Zhou's expression, tsk tsk tsk… A mother-in-law sizing up her son-in-law, the more she looks, the more she likes him."

As soon as An Chen got in the car, he began teasing Luo Chenyu.

Just as An Chen said, Zhou Xiaoying's mother's enthusiasm for Luo Chenyu was beyond measure.

She even invited him to her home, saying she would cook for him personally to welcome him.

Luo Chenyu nearly couldn't hold it together.

Fortunately, An Chen was beside him to explain, otherwise he might have been forcibly dragged away.

"Principal, stop messing around!"

"Hahaha…"

Luo Chenyu's utterly speechless expression made An Chen laugh heartily.

"But don't underestimate this Mrs. Zhou—her abilities and connections will benefit you immensely; at least, there's nothing she doesn't know about Donghai City's intelligence."

"Now that you've met her, you've completed your first task."

Luo Chenyu nodded.

He finally understood An Chen's purpose in coming to Donghai City: to arrange these connections for him, so his future path would be smoother.

Sometimes…

A single visit is better than a thousand phone calls.

Luo Chenyu deeply appreciated An Chen in his heart—he was a trustworthy elder.

"Let's go—the Magic Guild!"

"Alright!"

After entering the city.

Looking at the bustling streets, Luo Chenyu felt like Granny Liu touring the Grand View Garden, gazing curiously in every direction.

Compared to Donghai City, Longshan City was the countryside.

And he was just a country bumpkin who had come to the city.

Even in his past life, though he'd lived in a big city, he'd never seen such a prosperous scene.

In this vast city…

He even saw cars hovering in midair, flying.

Extremely sci-fi.

According to An Chen's introduction, these hovering cars were high-end luxury items created jointly by the Magic Guild and the Magic Energy Tech Guild.

The average person would work their whole life and still couldn't afford a single tire.

"Over there is the Hunter Guild…"

"There, that's the Priest Guild—when you go on adventures, you can recruit priests here; their fees are usually not high."

"Ahead is the Summoner Guild—if you want to hatch a pet, go to them, no doubt; you might even get a hatched pet stronger than usual…"

"This side is the Assassin Guild… Haha, don't get the wrong idea—they don't actually assassinate people; they mainly deal with finding wilderness treasure chests and gathering intelligence. But if you want information, go straight to the Intelligence Bureau and ask Mrs. Zhou."

"…"

Along the way, An Chen gave Luo Chenyu a rundown of Donghai City's power structures and their primary functions.

He hadn't realized before, but now he was shocked.

Apparently, these places had so many functions.

After An Chen's explanation, Luo Chenyu had a general understanding of many things—many of which he could indeed use, not now, but later.

At this moment…

An Chen pointed to a towering building and said, "That's the Donghai City branch of the Adventurer's Guild—most of the materials come from them."

"Adventurer's Guild… Hahaha, I'll have to see it in person someday."

Luo Chenyu showed a cruel smile.

By "see it"…

He meant making them see his own strength.

The Wang family are members of the Adventurer's Guild—he didn't believe they had no connections here in Donghai City.

Seeing this, An Chen was speechless.

"They don't have much to do with the Wang family…"

But there was a driver beside them, so An Chen couldn't say more.

"I don't provoke others, but I won't let others provoke me—I understand!"

An Chen: "…"

You're full of nonsense—everyone in Longshan City knows you're someone who never forgets a grudge.

After being struck by the King of XIAO Beasts, you didn't just kill it—you blew up its entire nest.

More than an hour later…

The battered SUV finally arrived before a tower-like building.

"We're here—let's go!"

After instructing the driver to wait, An Chen led Luo Chenyu toward a tall building beside the tower.

Then An Chen began explaining the Magic Guild to Luo Chenyu again.

What surprised Luo Chenyu was…

The tower-like building before them was truly a Mage Tower—a unique Mage Tower belonging to a senior of the Magic Guild, possessing immense power: it could provide numerous buffs and amplify a mage's spell damage, among other things.

Only mages with the proper qualification could enter the Mage Tower.

Everyone else—even high-ranking officials of the Dragon Nation High Command—were strictly forbidden from entering.

And the building they were heading to was the headquarters of the Mofagong Society.

In the lobby.

A receptionist from the Mofagong Society approached the two men. "Mr. and Mr., what service do you require?"

An Chen shook his head and said, "I've made an appointment with the vice president. Please show me the way."

After saying that, An Chen took out a token and handed it to the staff member.

The staff member, upon seeing the token and the character "田" on it, was startled.

It's real!

He hadn't believed it before—yet this disheveled old… Mr. actually possessed the vice president's token.

"Mr., this way, please!"

Luo Chenyu followed at the back, glancing curiously around.

The gathering place of the "Magic Masters" was truly luxurious—he'd already seen wall decorations more than once, all genuine equipment, their designs suggesting a Grade far from low.

The group arrived before the office on the eighth floor of the building.

"Mr., the vice president is currently receiving distinguished guests, so…"

"No problem, thank you for guiding us." An Chen dismissed the staff member, smiled, and walked to the door, Qiaoleqiao.

Soon after, the door opened a crack.

A cold, exquisite face appeared.

The next moment.

The coldness vanished, replaced by surprise and excitement.

"Yu-gege!!"

Luo Chenyu, seeing the face he had dreamed of, was filled with astonishment and delight.

"Little Tongtong, how are you here… Hey, hey, slow down!"

Watching Facing Ye Xingtong cling to Luo Chenyu like a koala, An Chen was left speechless.

Come to think of it…

He was still standing in front—yet Facing Ye Xingtong acted as if she hadn't seen him at all, sprinted past him, and leapt straight up…

Is this really the cold, aloof top beauty of No. 1 High School?

He shook his head, chose not to disturb the two young ones, and walked straight through the door.

Inside the room.

Two figures sat drinking tea together.

An Chen saw them and laughed. "You two old rascals, living it up, huh?"

"An the Madman, how dare you talk about us? Among all of us, you're the one living the most carefree life. If I'd known, I'd have gone to Longshan City to be principal myself."
