In reality.

Li Xingyun came to the dilapidated road in front of the forest and looked at the small shop on the side of the road.

The old man fell asleep again in the chair at the door.

It's almost autumn now, and there's a chill in the weather.

Li Xingyun relaxed a little and approached the store.

But the old man didn't seem to be asleep, and before Li Xingyun could get closer, the old man woke up.

"It's Xingyun, I'm asleep again."

"Aunt Wang, why don't you go into the house to sleep."

"Everywhere is the same for the old lady, alas."

Li Xingyun noticed that Aunt Wang was holding a rusty iron box tightly in her arms.

"Look at my memory, Xingyun is here to buy something." Aunt Wang grabbed the handrail and tried to prop up her body and wanted to stand up.

Li Xingyun stepped forward to support the old man and slowly walked into the house.

After taking a few nutritional pastes, Li Xingyun took out a thumb-sized white stone from his pocket, handed it to the old man, and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly called Li Xingyun.

"Xingyun, E-grade ability stones can be exchanged for 50 star coins."

"I haven't asked you for any money yet."

"No need Aunt Wang, I'll always come anyway."

"That's not going to work, I'll get you money."

Li Xingyun had no choice but to stop.

Aunt Wang took out the iron box that seemed to be very heavy, but when she opened it, she saw that there was only a thin layer of star coins inside.

There are two types of Star Coins, one is the Ability Stone after losing energy.

There is also this silver metal coin in the old man's hand, with a starlight pattern printed on it.

This metal star coin is only a dollar denomination, and is basically only used in certain areas of the Old City and New Town.

As Mrs. Wang took out the star coin from the box, a yellowed photo the size of a coin was revealed at the bottom of the box.

Above it is a young woman gently holding a child, with a happy and determined smile on her face.

This young woman seems to be Aunt Wang.

"Aunt Wang, is that your child?"

Li Xingyun's sudden opening made Aunt Wang's movements stiff, but in the next second, Aunt Wang seemed to be very happy, and there seemed to be a trace of pride in her tone.

"Well, my son."

"He's a student at Star Academy."

"The one in the new city?"

"Yes, it's from Xincheng!"

"Son, he's been gone for two years."

Speaking of this, Aunt Wang's face seemed to flash a trace of loneliness, but she quickly hid it.

Aunt Wang continued to say happily, and the action of looking for money in her hand stopped unconsciously.

"I've heard from other people that there's everything in the new city."

"But I don't know if my son can eat enough, whether he has grown taller."

"Aunt Wang, don't worry, I heard that the school will give students resources."

"Really, that's good... That's good..."

Aunt Wang didn't know what she remembered, a complicated expression flashed on her face, and she suddenly asked Li Xingyun a question that didn't seem to be related.

"By the way, Xingyun, do you know how to enter the new city?"

Li Xingyun had a question in his heart, "Enter the new city?" Aunt Wang, your son is from the school, he should have a place to take you in. ”

When Aunt Wang heard this answer, the complicated look on her face became even thicker, and even there was a hint of dodging in her words.

"That's... Be... I didn't want to disturb my son's studies, so I didn't mention it. ”

"It's my son's birthday in two days, so I want to go see him."

Li Xingyun suddenly said: "Oh, that's it, then you can just take my ID card." ”

"Xingyun, do you have Xincheng's identity card?"

Aunt Wang was a little surprised, but she was not surprised when she thought about it.

"Actually, Xingyun, when you first came to the Old City, I felt that you were not from the Old City."

"But it doesn't feel like a new city person."

A trace of remembrance flashed in Li Xingyun's heart, of course he was not from the new city and the old city.

Aunt Wang didn't expect that the most difficult problem would be solved in this way, and when she thought that she could go to see her son tomorrow, her heart swelled with infinite joy.

"Thank you so much, Xingyun, or I really don't know what to do, I heard that many people will die at the gate of Xincheng every day..."

"It's okay Aunt Wang, let my ID card authenticate you first, and then you can enter the new city."

Li Xingyun took out a metallic silver card, and after putting his finger on it, a light blue light screen appeared.

After scanning Aunt Wang according to the operation, she handed over the identity card to her.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, my identity card can only be used for one day a month, I don't know if there is enough time."

"Enough, enough, enough for me to look at my son."

Aunt Wang took the identity card with trembling hands, and then carefully placed it in the iron box and placed it on top of the photo.

Aunt Wang handed over the money she had found, and said in a serious tone: "Xingyun, thank you so much." ”

"It's okay, Aunt Wang, then you can rest early, I'll go first."

"Well, slow down."

"Hmm."

Li Xingyun, who originally wanted to return to the tree, suddenly turned around, let's go have a meal.

Dongmen Square is still so lively.

I found a restaurant on the side of the square street.

It's not big, but it's packed with people.

As soon as I entered the door, the noisy sound poured into my ears.

Li Xingyun's face was as usual, and he found a corner where no one was there and sat down.

Within two minutes of sitting down, I felt a wave of heat envelop my body.

At this time, a tall, thin girl with dark skin trotted over and said to Li Xingyun very quickly.

"Hello, something to eat."

"A bowl of somen noodles."

"Okay, 5 stars, please pay first."

The girl took the money and shouted to the back: "A bowl of somen noodles." ”

At this time, the other guests who seemed to have been waiting for a long time were a little impatient.

"Why isn't the rice good yet! It's been a long time! ”

"The hostess! It's hot, the fan is on! ”

Hearing the complaints of the guests, a woman in her 40s rushed out of the back kitchen, with slender eyebrows and a flesh mole in the center of her eyebrows.

As soon as the proprietress appeared, she yelled at those people.

"What is it called! You don't need money to turn on the fan! Love to eat, don't eat eggs. ”

"If you want to make trouble, don't ask who my man is."

"My man is from the New Town Guard!"

When a few people heard about the New City Guards, they were speechless, and their faces were flushed.

Even so, the proprietress felt that she was not happy enough, and walked up to one of them, stretched out her finger and pointed it at the man's nose fiercely, and the droplets flew everywhere.

"Do you know the New City Guards, huh?"

"Just you garbage, I'm afraid you can't even get through the door of the new city, right? Right? I really laughed to death. ”

Although not all the people who live in the old city are ordinary people, just by looking at the clothes, you can know what the identity of most people is.

Obviously, this time the proprietress didn't misunderstand the people, these people are not some of the strangers.
