Chapter 41: The Lady Develops an Interest in the Manga Shop

【The "Koby's Armament Haki" you drew is being issued...】

As the system voice faded,

a brilliant beam of light descended from the sky and rushed into Han Feng's body.

After a moment, the light in the room dissipated.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Han Feng wore a look of satisfaction.

"No wonder it is the top-tier Armament Haki!"

He now felt that with a full-power strike, blasting a mountain apart would be no problem.

Although he still couldn't reach the level of the Seven Gods for now.

But at least he possessed a decent amount of strength.

Han Feng looked at the panel again.

【Host: Han Feng】

【Manga: "One Piece - East Blue Arc", "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Digimon Adventure", "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU", "Yu-Gi-Oh!"】

【Mission 1: Serve 10 customers to draw one manga book. Served: 0/10. Draws available: 0】

【Mission 2: Cumulatively serve 30 customers to receive a special reward. Served: 6/30】

"Only six customers served today; there's still a long way to go before the mission is complete. The task is heavy and the road is long!"

Han Feng sighed slightly.

However, with Venti's help,

he figured the number of customers tomorrow should increase considerably.

Looking at it this way,

completing Mission 2 shouldn't take long either.

"What exactly is that special reward?"

Han Feng was extremely curious in his heart.

No matter how he thought about it, it shouldn't be anything bad.

"It's already so late? Then let's go out to eat."

Seeing that night had already fallen outside, Han Feng decided to go out for a meal instead of solving it himself.

Saying this, he closed the shop and left the alley.

It had been so many days since he transmigrated, yet he hadn't had the chance to go out and look around.

Now was just the right time.

With Koby's Armament Haki, he no longer needed to worry about anyone harming him.

As for the safety of the manga shop,

he didn't need to worry at all.

First, the shop's location was inherently remote, with little foot traffic.

Second, the manga shop was a system reward and possessed special effects.

When he was not in the shop,

without his permission, others simply could not enter.

That was why Han Feng felt so at ease.

"Where should I go?"

Han Feng thought for a moment and finally decided to check out the Genshin Impact restaurant.

Because of his frequent contact with it in games before, he still had a good impression of the place.

On the other side, the Godot Grand Hotel.

Inside a certain luxury room.

At this moment, a Fatui member was kneeling on the ground with an anxious expression.

Standing before him was a woman with a powerful aura, mature and stunningly beautiful.

She had golden hair, wore a purple mask on her face, and her sapphire-blue eyes now revealed coldness.

It was none other than the Fatui Harbinger, The Lady!

"Tell me, what is the situation today?"

Originally, Anastasia and others had been following her orders to contact the Mondstadt high command.

If they couldn't resolve the Stormterror issue, then they would take over.

Because of Snezhnaya's strength, they had such confidence.

In fact, it would be best to seize this opportunity to find traces of the Anemo Archon.

That would give them a chance to complete her mission.

But who would have thought they didn't bring back the city defense map,

and instead Anastasia and the others were carried back unconscious.

Upon learning of this, The Lady showed no emotional fluctuation on her face.

But her heart did stir with waves.

Someone actually dared to challenge us, the Fatui?

Could it be the high command of Mondstadt?

If it were them,

then why act only now?

Was it a loss of reason in anger, or did they have some backing?

Seeing Anastasia and the others unconscious,

the Lady could only question the sole survivor.

Lu Ke, the Fatui member who had returned standing.

He nervously recounted everything that had happened that afternoon.

Not daring to conceal a single detail.

Only then did the Lady understand the full sequence of events.

Because of Anastasia's provocation, the Acting Grand Master of Mondstadt had taken action.

"So this is a warning to me!"

The Lady narrowed her eyes.

She was somewhat curious why the Qintuanzhang Society would suddenly intervene?

They had been tolerating it all along before.

Even when the Fatui rented out the Good Hunter Hotel, no protest was seen.

"Is it the Anemo Archon's order?"

The moment this thought arose in her mind, the Lady dismissed it outright.

If that Anemo Archon truly managed affairs,

five hundred years ago, they would not have suffered such a severe calamity.

Recalling past events, a trace of disdain for the Anemo Archon flashed in the Lady's eyes.

Shaking her head slightly, the Lady continued to ponder.

She remembered Lu Ke saying they had been knocked unconscious by an invisible shockwave attack.

Even the ground and walls had been cracked by the force.

As far as she knew, the Qintuanzhang Society should possess an Anemo Vision.

Yet that shockwave,

could absolutely not be Anemo elemental power.

The Lady's eyes narrowed.

She suddenly realized she had overlooked one thing.

"You said earlier that you found the Qintuanzhang Society and the others in a bookstore?"

"Y-yes, that shop is called the Worry-Free Bookstore."
