Chapter 144: The Unlucky Abyss Mage, Qin

"Is this mapo tofu? But there's no golden light?"

Qin felt puzzled.

When Barbara and Klee returned, they gushed about it to her.

They said they ate incredibly delicious mapo tofu that could ~brighten one's mood.

And not only did it smell delicious, it emitted golden light!

But she didn't seem to notice that part.

It just smelled decent enough.

"Because it was made by different people—this one is just from a chef with decent culinary skill.

Klee's was made by the manga's protagonist, Master Chef Liu Mao Xing, so naturally it's different."

Hearing Qin's confusion, Han Feng smiled and explained.

"Ah… so… that's how it is!"

Seeing Han Feng, Qin's cheeks flushed slightly.

Clearly, she was still thinking about the four-leaf clover couple pendant from the afternoon.

Han Feng gave Qin a suspicious glance, then turned his gaze to the Abyss Mage.

It sat on the sofa, carefully removing its mask,

and indeed, there was no face beneath.

Yet it could still magically eat the mapo tofu.

As if an invisible mouth existed on its face.

Amber and the others stared in shock.

They had never known that the Abyss Mage's face beneath the mask was like this.

Amid Eula and Amber's strange, envious glances,

the Abyss Mage finished all the mapo tofu.

"Phew! That was delicious!"

After comfortably putting the mask back on, the Abyss Mage savored the aftertaste.

Though it didn't know how this dish was made,

the Abyss Mage could sense its excellence.

It had great elasticity and a wonderful texture.

It left the Abyss Mage thoroughly satisfied.

Those 100,000 Mora were worth it.

The only pity was that this mapo tofu wasn't made by Liu Mao Xing.

Shao'an, as the loser, already had such culinary skill.

Then the mapo tofu made by Master Chef Liu Mao Xing must be extraordinary.

"Should I bring the Prince next time to try it?"

The Abyss Mage thought to itself.

But now it was time for serious business.

The Abyss Mage stood up and approached Han Feng again.

"Boss, do you have the manga about Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon? I want to read it."

The Abyss Mage asked with hopeful anticipation.

"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?"

Hearing this, Qin looked puzzled.

She had been away dealing with the Anemo Dragon crisis and wasn't in Mondstadt.

Lisa also didn't tell her, since it wasn't a big deal.

So Qin didn't know yet.

Amber and Eula exchanged glances.

"Could it be that this thing came to Decheng just for the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?"

Eula looked confused.

What did it want with that?

It's just a toy!

"Could it be thinking it's a real dragon and trying to control it?"

Amber offered a guess.

After all, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon radiated incredible presence,

and to anyone unfamiliar, it would look utterly real at first glance.

Coupled with the Abyss Mage's prior history of controlling the Anemo Dragon,

it might actually be possible.

"If that's true… that would be kind of interesting…"

The thought of the Abyss Mage trying to control the virtual Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon made Eula barely suppress a laugh.

"You mean Yu-Gi-Oh!?"

Han Feng asked.

If it's the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, it must be that manga.

"Yes, yes, that's the one!"

Hearing that the manga really existed, the Abyss Mage was so excited it could barely contain itself.

Oh heavens!

After going through so much trouble—sneaking in late at night, being chased and hunted.

And now, at last, it had finally found it.

It really wasn't easy!

"If I can obtain the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from the manga, as long as I can control it, His Highness's plan will have a chance of success, and the lost homeland will have hope!"

The Abyss Mage was already reveling in the beautiful future ahead.

But Han Feng's next words doused it with a bucket of cold water.

"Sorry, one person can only read the manga once per day. Come back tomorrow."

"Th-there's a rule like that?"

The Abyss Mage froze for a moment.

It was genuinely dumbfounded.

Nobody had told it about that either.

If it had known earlier that one could only read one volume a day, why would it have gone to *Little Chef*?

"Oh? I didn't say that?"

Han Feng suddenly realized. "Then I must have forgotten."
