Chapter 226

Based on my years of experience conning people.

You're definitely conning me.

Wendy had gained some understanding of Han Feng's conning skills.

Even stronger than him.

So Wendy didn't believe a single word.

"Ah, harder to con now."

Han Feng sighed.

Women are better.

Whatever I say, she believes it.

At this moment.

System notification refreshed.

【Customer Wendy has finished reading "One Piece - East Blue Arc," reward obtained — West Sea Wine】

【West Sea Wine: A wine from Shanks' homeland, the West Sea, brewed from "water that makes the skin feel blissful upon contact."】

"Quite suitable for Wendy."

Han Feng smiled.

Even Whitebeard, who had ruled the Grand Line for years, said it was good—so it must truly be fine wine.

Hum—

A brilliant flash of light passed.

Soon, a wooden wine barrel appeared beneath Wendy's feet.

"West Sea Wine—you'll like it."

Han Feng chuckled.

"It's wine!"

Wendy's face lit up with excitement.

This was her first encounter with alcohol from another world.

She eagerly opened it to take a look.

Instantly,

A fragrant aroma of wine washed over her.

"Fine wine!"

Wendy couldn't help but praise it.

Hmm,

I should savor it properly.

I'll go find Tevlin.

It would be unforgivable not to share such fine wine with it.

"Boss, I'll be going then."

After bidding farewell to Han Feng, Wendy slipped away with her Maine Coon beast.

The manga shop instantly became empty, leaving only Han Feng.

Han Feng looked at the system panel.

【Host: Han Feng】

【Manga: "One Piece - East Blue Arc," "Cardcaptor Sakura," "Digimon Adventure Part 1," "Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!," "Yu-Gi-Oh!," "Little Chef," "The Rising of the Shield Hero," "Detective Conan," "Journey to the West"】

【Task 1: Receive 10 customers to draw one manga, 2/10 customers received, 0 draws available】

【Task 2: Accumulate 100 customers to receive a unique reward, 19/100 customers received】

"19 customers this morning—not bad."

Han Feng was quite satisfied with this number.

In fact, more than this came in the morning.

But due to limited manga copies, only so many could read.

Simply copying manga books had no effect.

Still, Han Feng found this progress acceptable.

"I wonder if today will break 40!"

Han Feng thought with anticipation.

If today breaks 40, tomorrow might complete Task 2.

Then I'd get another unique reward.

Last time I got Phantom Kill, I wonder what this time will be.

"Oh right, how did I forget this!"

Remembering Phantom Kill's ability, Han Feng lightly tapped his head.

I'd planned to test it with Wendy,

But got too absorbed in cooking and forgot.

I'll bring it up next time.

Thinking this, Han Feng leaned back again, leisurely waiting for the next batch of customers to arrive.

……

Outside Mondstadt.

Wolf Territory.

At this moment, Bennett was adventuring here.

"My luck is as bad as ever."

After Bennett rummaged through a chest and found only a tiny bit of Mora, he let out a sigh.

He had set out since morning, but up until now,

he had only found a little food.

And only a few thousand Mora.

Still, the one thing that gave him some comfort was that he hadn't run into many monsters.

Whenever he went out adventuring before, he would somehow end up provoking some monsters.

Either stumbling into a Hilichurl camp, or getting ganged up on by Slimes.

It was utterly miserable.

"Hey, but this time I'm not afraid, I've got a trump card!"

Thinking of the reward he got yesterday, Bennett immediately felt confident.

He had already figured out how to use that random skill card.

Namely, when facing a powerful enemy, right as he was about to be knocked unconscious by their attack,

he would immediately activate the random skill card.

"This should bring out the card's effect, right?"

Bennett thought to himself.

"Ah well, don't overthink it. I haven't seen a single monster all morning; surely they couldn't all be saving up to show up now, haha…"

Thinking this, Bennett burst out laughing.

But the scene that appeared next cut his laughter short.

He saw a few Slims bouncing toward him from ahead.

Bennett sensed something was wrong,

furrowed his brow, and prepared to retreat.

Yet to his dismay, he found that a few Slimes had also appeared behind him.

"Sigh, I shouldn't have said that."

Bennett gave a wry smile.

Still, he wasn't too worried.

Although there were a few more Slimes than he'd like, with his abilities he could still handle them.

Sure enough,
