My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 382 - 191: Farewell, Love of Shadows_3
Yang Yuan tried putting an Earth-level Core in, and indeed found a simple introduction: Earth-level Spirit Monster Core, convertible to one hundred thousand New Coins.
He immediately chose to convert it.
In just a second, the conversion was successful. The Spirit Monster Core disappeared, and his account gained one hundred thousand New Coins.
[You still owe the Guide ’A Qiu’ one hundred New Coins, would you like to pay now?]
Just after the recharge was successful, this popup appeared.
Yang Yuan immediately chose [Yes].
The account was automatically deducted by one hundred New Coins.
Jiang Yiyi also placed several Earth-level Cores into her Space Backpack and casually recharged to pay the Guide the one hundred New Coins owed.
During this whole process, she kept staring at the building across the street.
The building’s name was the Trade Alliance Caravan Office.
Yang Yuan keenly noticed the little girl’s behavior and turned around in confusion to look at the building.
Just then, the little girl suddenly became nervous and involuntarily reached out a small hand to grab hold of one of his fingers.
"What’s wrong?" Yang Yuan asked, puzzled, noticing the little girl’s tension.
However, the little girl did not speak, only staring intently at the building’s exit.
Yang Yuan was puzzled and looked up again.
Just at that moment, a group of people walked out from inside.
The woman at the head of the group was holding a tablet, expressionless, recording something.
He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that the woman looked somewhat familiar.
The group didn’t notice them, conversing softly among themselves as they walked deeper into the Alliance Headquarters.
Just as the group was about to pass by them, Jiang Yiyi couldn’t help but whisper, "Mommy..."
What?
Yang Yuan squinted his eyes, staring intensely at the woman with the tablet.
No wonder he found that woman familiar; her eyebrows and eyes were just what Jiang Yiyi would look like when she grew up.
Two meters away.
The woman, recording something on her tablet, shuddered. Perhaps it was the sudden sound that caused her emotions to fluctuate so greatly that she failed to hold onto the tablet, and it dropped to the ground.
But she didn’t care at all, suddenly looking at Jiang Yiyi. Her beautiful eyes widened. As a Superpower User in the field of intellect, with an eidetic memory, she could clearly remember everything about her daughter even four years later.
Though the little girl in front of her had grown significantly taller compared to four years ago, her facial features and voice were absolutely unforgettable.
The surrounding companions looked over in confusion.
"Yi... Yiyi?!" the woman asked, her voice trembling.
Tears instantly flowed from Jiang Yiyi’s eyes, but she didn’t call "Mommy" again, nor did she move forward. She just unconsciously gripped Yang Yuan’s finger tightly.
Yang Yuan looked at the little girl, then at the woman. Although he was a bit reluctant to part with this considerate and sensible little girl, he was genuinely happy for her.
"Yiyi... it really is you? You’re truly alive, that’s wonderful!" The woman hurried over.
Jiang Yiyi quickly hid behind Yang Yuan, angrily refusing to look at her.
The woman was anxious and only then noticed Yang Yuan’s presence. She wanted to say something, but her emotions were too intense for her to speak, and tears kept falling in her anxiety.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan patted the little girl’s head, then gently pulled her in front of him.
But the little girl clung tightly to his leg, unwilling to turn back and look at the woman behind her, perhaps out of anger.
"Yiyi..."
The woman, disregarding everything, squatted down and tightly hugged the little girl from behind, tears flowing endlessly: "Yiyi, it was Mommy’s fault. When Earth suddenly fused with this world, Mommy looked for you, but despite searching for a long time, couldn’t find you. Mommy thought... thought..."
She didn’t dare to say the rest, as it was something she had feared confronting all along.
Not long ago, a woman claiming to be an archaeologist told her that her daughter was still alive. She was somewhat unbelieving, and didn’t expect to see her daughter so soon.
Jiang Yiyi still clung tightly to Yang Yuan’s leg.
Seeing this, Yang Yuan smiled and lightly patted the little girl’s head.
The little girl hesitated, then finally let go of his leg and turned to face her mother.
Dai Changlan gave Yang Yuan a grateful look, then hugged her daughter again.
"Mommy..." Tears fell from Jiang Yiyi’s eyes once more. She was no longer the five-year-old girl from before and was now understanding, knowing that the circumstances back then were beyond anyone’s control.
Yang Yuan stepped aside, giving the mother and daughter some space while saying to A Qiu, "Please wait a moment."
"It’s alright." A Qiu smiled understandingly, looking at the scene with some envy.
She was a native of the Creation Continent. Although she hadn’t experienced separation due to world fusion, she was separated from her family during the recent world reshaping.
After the world reshaping, nearly everyone was randomly placed. It wasn’t until the Alliance Headquarters was established that people had the hope of reuniting.
However, the population across the entire alliance is enormous. Who knows when she’ll be able to reunite with her family?
"Mr. Yang Yuan, would you like to see the camp first?" A Qiu asked.
"Camp?" Yang Yuan asked. "Could you please explain more about what the camp is?"
"Sure, the camp is a survivors’ gathering place. After all, with so many people and so many races in the alliance, they can’t all squeeze into the Alliance Headquarters, right?"
A Qiu said: "So, near the alliance, there are many pocket spaces set up as survivor camps. Any survivor can build a new home there. Additionally, those in the same camp can’t harm each other. This rule is to protect weaker survivors who may have become separated from their family members, ensuring they are not bullied."
