Chapter 3: Saving a Life
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
"Since we're friends, I should do my part as a friend."
As Lu Ming spoke, she pointed at the shop owner to move a few unremarkable little things in the room.
Although the boss was baffled, he still followed Lu Ming's instructions.
It was strange, but after the items were placed, the boss felt a mysterious force fill the entire store. The room seemed to be brighter, and even the air seemed to circulate better.
Why did he suddenly feel so refreshed?
The boss looked at Lu Ming suspiciously. The latter had already left the shop with the pile of items and the small stove she had bought. She waved her hands as she walked, "Don't forget to bring out the little goldfish I told you to buy. Remember, it has to be a red koi fish!"
[Boss: If you weren't wearing a cartoon T-shirt and shorts, I would've believed that you're an expert!]
When Lu Ming went out and turned left, she was stopped by a tarot card dealer.
"Little sister, I see that you're covered in dark clouds. Do you want to come here and predict your luck?"
Lu Ming stopped in her tracks and saw that the 'Wizard' who set up the stall was a middle-aged man. The man was dressed in a black robe, and he had a deliberately trained expression on his face. At first glance, he looked a little mysterious, but Lu Ming could tell with one look that he was an ordinary person through and through, the kind that did not have any Wizard power at all.
"The dark clouds aren't around me, but it seems like but it seems like it's around you. A friendly reminder," Lu Ming said indifferently. "It's best if you don't wear black. Not only will it make your skin look dull, but it'll also affect your luck. Yellow is more suitable for you. Also, I suggest you go home immediately. Your daughter is in danger."
'How did she know that I have a daughter?' The fake Wizard frowned. Could it be that he had offended someone by scamming money everywhere and was being investigated by his enemies?
The fake Wizard was worried, so he called his daughter, but her phone was off.
The fake Wizard couldn't sit still anymore. He didn't care if she was telling the truth or not. Anyway, he could reach his house in two minutes. He could just go back and take a look.
Thinking of this, the fake Wizard hurriedly packed up his stall and hurried home.
Before he even entered, the fake Wizard could already smell the pungent smell of gas. Oh no, he forgot to turn off the fire while cooking!
The fake Wizard quickly turned off the fire. The pot had already dried up, and the food inside had been burnt to ashes. He quickly opened the kitchen window to ventilate the room. His daughter was close to fainting, and her face was abnormally red because of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The fake Wizard had learned some first-aid knowledge before. He quickly dragged his daughter to a ventilated place outside to breathe in fresh air. His daughter slowly woke up, but she was still a little confused.
"Child, we've met a benefactor today."
The fake Wizard looked for a yellow T-shirt and changed into it.
"You're back?"
As soon as she entered, Lu Xiu leaned in front of Lu Ming and sized her up. "Hey! My dear sister, didn't you receive a large sum of pocket money? Why didn't you buy something nice to look at when you went out?"
Lu Xiu looked at Lu Ming's cartoon T-shirt and shorts in disdain. Where was the little fairy sister?
Lu Ming also looked at her brother with some disdain. Didn't she already tell him that it was money for charity? Besides, what was wrong with a T-shirt and shorts? She even spent 9.90 yuan on a discount!
"I've already eaten outside. I'll go back to my room first."
Lu Ming was in a hurry to go back to her room to study her newly acquired alchemy furnace, so she went upstairs after saying goodbye.
Su Li looked at her daughter's back and sighed sadly. Lu Yuan put his arm around his wife's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry. We just found her."
Lu Ming, who had returned to her room, could not wait to take out her alchemy furnace.
Although her new friend, the owner of the materials store, didn't know what was good, he was right about one thing: This was indeed an alchemy furnace. However, it was not a Wizard's furnace, but an Alchemist's furnace.
Like most ordinary people, the boss was a layman. Everyone knew that Wizards had many amazing materials, but few knew where they came from.
In fact, Wizards and Alchemists were two different groups. Those who engaged in Witchcraft usually did not know Alchemy, and those who engaged in Alchemy generally did not know Witchcraft.
It was precisely because they had great treasures but had no ability to protect themselves that Alchemists were often more mysterious. As a result, they had been hiding here and there, and had actually hidden themselves from the group for so many years that they could barely find them.
According to what Lu Ming knew, there were only a few Witchcraft families that had Alchemists that they worshipped. As for the unaffiliated Alchemists among the common people, they were hard to come by. She wondered which rabbit hole they were hiding in!
However, this 800-yuan Alchemy furnace was already a waste. There were deep and shallow cracks on the walls of the furnace, and it was a wonder that it had not broken yet.
