Chapter 581

"A new customer?"

Han Feng opened his eyes and looked, slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected it to be that Second Young Master.

"Boss, do you have any Wu Xia manga here?"

Customer Xingqiu stepped forward and asked.

He had once used his own experiences as material to write a Wu Xia novel, *Records of Sinking Autumn and Gathering Swords*, hoping to publish it at Liyue Harbor.

But 02 had rejected the manuscript on the grounds that "the setting is too absurd, yet the plot is unexpectedly cliché — no one will like it."

Unconvinced, Xingqiu printed a few copies himself and secretly placed them at his usual bookshop, "Wenji Bookshop."

However, no one really wanted to read them, which hit him hard.

He'd heard from Hearing Yanfei that the manga here were wonderful, so he wanted to see if there were any Wu Xia manga.

If there were, he could also draw some inspiration from them.

"There are no Wu Xia manga at the moment — you'll just have to wait."

Han Feng shook his head.

His shop really didn't have any manga of that kind yet.

But at the current draw rate, he should be able to get one soon.

For instance, the classic Jin Yong Wu Xia.

Watching Xingqiu's disappointed look, Han Feng continued speaking.

"Although there are no Wu Xia manga, the shop does have adventure and comedy types of manga,

and after reading the manga, you can also obtain rewards from within them.

So, how about it — want to give it a try?"

"So the rewards actually come from the manga?"

Xingqiu suddenly understood.

If that's the case, then Miss Xiangling's recipes must have come from the gourmet manga.

Thinking of this, Xingqiu suddenly became interested.

"Boss, what's the price?"

"100,000 Mora per person, and you can only read once a day."

Han Feng said slowly.

"100,000 Mora? That's not really expensive!"

Xingqiu nodded.

Having the chance to obtain such miraculous rewards, this price really wasn't anything.

Besides, he was the Second Young Master of the Feiyunshang Society.

Just like Lu Ke, money was just a string of numbers to him.

He then took out a bag of Mora and placed it on the counter.

"The manga are on the bookshelf over there."

After taking the Mora, Han Feng pointed in the direction.

"Thanks, boss!"

Xingqiu nodded and headed straight for the bookshelf.

"There really are quite a lot of manga!"

Looking at the manga on the shelf, Xingqiu's face lit up with interest as he began to browse.

There were ones about cats,

ones about zombies,

ones about pirates,

and even one about being reincarnated as a Shi Laimu!

Xingqiu exclaimed that it was an eye-opener.

He'd heard that next door in Inazuma there was one about being reincarnated as Raiden General,

but here, you just got reincarnated as a Shi Laimu.

"Might as well be reincarnated as the Rex Lapis… or me, Xingqiu, would be fine too!"

Xingqiu felt the urge to complain.

But his hands still didn't stop.

Until he flipped to that one manga…

"*Shi Zhimen*?"

Xingqiu unconsciously picked up that manga, as if it possessed some unknown magic.

"Boss, what's this manga about?"

Xingqiu took the manga back to the counter and asked Han Feng.

"A chuunibyou boy who, by chance, invented a time machine, used it to change the past, and ultimately saved the world."

Han Feng gave a concise explanation.

If he said too much, they'd have a hard time understanding.

This was a manga that needed to be savored carefully.

"A time machine? Change the past?"

Hearing those two words, Xingqiu's eyes immediately lit up.

This setup is interesting!

Although he hasn't read it yet, he already feels an urge to do so.

"By the way, some plot points in this manga are obscure and hard to understand—pay close attention when you read."

"Remember, it's all a choice of the Destiny Stone Gate."

Han Feng smiled mysteriously.

"It's all a choice of the Destiny Stone Gate?"

Customer Xingqiu repeated the phrase over and over.

Though he didn't understand its meaning, the words felt strangely profound.

"Thank you, boss!"

After expressing his gratitude to Han Feng, Customer Xingqiu walked straight into the shop.

After he left, Hearing Yanfei turned her curious gaze toward Han Feng.

"Boss Han, what did you mean by that just now? It sounded quite mysterious."

"It cannot be said."

Han Feng smiled faintly.

"Hmph, then I'll just read it myself tomorrow."

Hearing Yanfei rolled her eyes elegantly upon hearing this.

Then she placed a bag of Mora on the counter and left.

Miss Xiangling smiled, and did the same.

873.

"Huh? There are so many new manga here!"

Seeing the manga on the shelves, Hearing Yanfei felt both joy and pain.

She was joyful because there were always new manga to read each time she came.

She was pained because she could only read one per day.

She would never finish them all.

"Forget it, I'll take this one then!"

Shaking her head, Hearing Yanfei didn't overthink it and picked up "Your Name."

She thought the cover was beautifully styled and assumed it would be good.

"Miss Xiangling, what's wrong?"

Seeing Miss Xiangling's troubled expression, Hearing Yanfei asked curiously.

"I want to read 'The Little Chef' to earn a cooking reward, but I also want to read the new manga."
