Chapter 117: Qin: If it

"What is this? It looks pretty nice."

Venti saw the couple's pendant in Qin's hand, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes.

"Cough, cough, it's just an ordinary pendant."

Qin hastily tucked the couple's pendant away.

This thing must not be seen by others.

Seeing Venti's puzzled expression, Qin quickly changed the subject.

"Little Keli might have caused trouble today—I need to head back first."

"Han Feng, I… I'll come again tomorrow."

Stammering a farewell to Han Feng, Qin quickly left the place.

As if something there had made her flustered.

Leaving everyone behind with bewildered expressions.

"Phew!"

Outside the manga shop, Qin let out a long breath.

Seeing no one around, she absentmindedly pulled out the four-leaf clover couple's pendant again.

Bathed in the afternoon sun, the four-leaf clover pendant had a unique charm.

No woman could resist something so beautiful.

Qin was no exception.

For a moment, she stood frozen, staring.

At that moment, a delighted voice instantly snapped Qin back to reality.

"Captain Qin, you're really here?"

Qin reacted quickly.

She grabbed the four-leaf clover pendant and hid it behind her back, then turned toward the voice.

"You're… Bennett, right?"

Looking at the boy wearing goggles, Qin quickly remembered.

As acting captain, she often dealt with the Adventurers' Guild.

So she had heard of this "famously renowned" adventurer.

"It's me! I didn't expect Captain Qin to know me!"

Bennett's face lit up with joy, then he asked eagerly.

"Captain Qin, is this manga shop really that magical?"

Since Captain Qin herself was here, she was the perfect person to ask.

Captain Qin's word was absolutely trustworthy!

Seeing Bennett's unease, Qin instantly understood.

She had heard of Bennett's reputation before.

She knew this adventurer had terrible luck.

Whether in daily life or on adventures, he always encountered misfortune.

He probably came here hoping to find a way to change his luck.

But could his luck even earn a reward?

Qin deeply doubted it.

After thinking it over, Qin decided to tell him honestly, so he'd be prepared.

"The manga shop's rewards are real—from ordinary items to powerful abilities."

Qin said seriously.

Before Bennett could show any joy, Qin continued.

"But obtaining a reward may require some luck—you must be prepared."

Hearing this, Bennett froze in place.

So even the rewards require luck?

Then with my cursed luck, can I even draw something good?

Bennett fell into confusion.

He had thought he'd found a solution.

Yet now the path was blocked.

To get a good reward, you need good luck.

But he himself had no such luck.

Without good luck, it was hard to get a good reward.

It was a vicious cycle.

But having endured too much misfortune, Bennett had developed a strong heart.

Soon, he calmed down.
