Chapter 880

Yingmei gave Yixiaxiao Paimon's cheek a little squeeze and laughed.

"Don't worry, I'm plenty clever!"

Yixiaxiao Paimon made an OK gesture.

"But how are we going to get to Inazuma? I heard Inazuma is out on the sea."

Yingmei's brows knit at that.

"You don't mean fly over?"

"But that would be way too much trouble."

She still didn't know the manga shop had already opened a branch in Inazuma.

She figured Raiden Shogun had just happened to drop by Mondstadt or Liyue.

The question stumped Yixiaxiao Paimon too.

If it were yesterday, there'd still be a chance.

Maybe they could sneak aboard that aircraft carrier.

But by now the other side had probably already reached Inazuma.

Still, the two of them had no choice — without Boss Cou they were stuck.

So Yixiaxiao Paimon turned to Han Feng with a pitiful look.

"Boss Cou, you don't want to watch us tire ourselves out like this, do you?"

"Just you and your clever ideas!"

Han Feng laughed and gave Yixiaxiao Paimon's cheek a little pinch.

He had to admit, the little thing really was pretty cute when it acted cute.

Then with a light wave of his hand, two beams of light descended from the sky and landed on Yingmei and her companion.

"Before leaving the manga shop, just think of Inazuma in your heart, and that's all."

"Wow, long live Boss Cou!"

Yixiaxiao Paimon cheered for a moment.

Sure enough,

any trouble was nothing in front of Boss Cou!

There was nothing he couldn't do.

"Off you go now! And remember to sell more Hu Luobo."

Han Feng pinched Yixiaxiao Paimon's cheek twice more as encouragement.

Sell more, and then he could take a bigger cut.

"Got it, I'll sell plenty — just wait and see, Boss Cou!"

Yixiaxiao Paimon's fighting spirit soared.

She grabbed Yingmei by the hand and hurried out of the shop.

Not long after the two girls left, a stir came from the virtual pod nearby.

"Awake?"

Noticing the movement from Kamisato Ayaka, Han Feng asked with a light laugh.

"Mm, a very interesting experience!"

After stepping out of the virtual pod, Kamisato Ayaka's face was full of lingering aftertaste.

The "Ready Player One" dungeon was pretty much the same as in the manga.

The only difference was that the creator inside had changed.

In the manga, the creator was a genius named James Halliday.

But in the dungeon world, it was Boss Han.

Clearly the boss had changed the plot.

Even with a few differences, she still had a blast playing.

She had tried both the racing and the puzzles.

She just ended up dead last, that's all.

Even though she hadn't cleared it for a reward, having such a special experience—

Kamisato Ayaka felt it was worth it.

"Since it's fun, you can experience it a few more times."

Han Feng said with a smile.

"No, I should head back and check on things."

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head lightly.

The matters in Inazuma weren't settled yet — she couldn't afford to relax too much for now.

Once things were stable later, she'd take a proper break.

Then, after taking her leave of the boss, she packed up the virtual pod and left the manga shop. 0..

With that, the first batch of morning customers had all left the shop.

"I wonder who'll come next?"

After taking a light sip of tea, Han Feng leaned back in his chair, feeling quite content.

Not long after, two familiar customers arrived at the manga shop.

It was Beidou and Kaedehara Kazuha, who had rushed over from Lidao.

"Sure enough it's the manga shop — the boss really is efficient!"

After taking in the store's layout, Han Feng's face filled with wonder.

"We're lucky we ran into Thomas, or we'd have spent a lot of effort."

Watching Beidou's face showed a hint of relief.

Along the way, they had asked countless people, but none had heard of the manga shop.

If not for accidentally meeting Thomas, who told them the location,

they probably would have returned empty-handed.

After all, Inazuma City is so large; without ample time and local knowledge,

it's hard to find a manga shop.

"That's true, but I didn't expect the owner's shop had just opened and Thomas had already been here! I wonder what reward he got."

Han Feng was curious.

"Ask the owner and you'll know!"

Watching Beidou smiled.

Then the two walked toward the counter.

"Boss, we're back—4.5 again, but this time we've come from Inazuma."

Watching Beidou said with a smile as she reached the counter.

"Your efficiency is impressive—you found this place so quickly!"

Han Feng's eyes showed slight surprise.

They went to Inazuma yesterday; they must have arrived this morning.

To find the manga shop in just half a day—truly impressive.

"It was mostly luck—we met Thomas, or we'd have struggled to find it."

Watching Beidou shook her head.

She was now even more grateful to have this acquaintance.

Who would've thought the Inazuma branch was tucked away in an alley…

"Boss, what manga was Thomas just looking at?"

At that moment, Han Feng stepped forward, curious.

He felt it was improper to directly ask about the reward, so he decided to take another approach,

starting from the manga itself.
