Chapter 969

If I'm not mistaken, this must be the branch store of that manga shop!

And that black-haired boy is probably the shop owner!

The Wanderer stroked his chin, gazing at the Solace Bookhouse before him, a flicker of understanding in his eyes.

Out of interest in the manga shop, he had once studied the letters the Lady had sent back to Snezhnaya.

Those letters had mentioned details about the manga shop.

For instance, although the shop was in Mondstadt, it also had a branch in Liyue.

And the owner was an unusually young black-haired boy, and so on!

If that were the case,

then perhaps Raiden Shogun and the others had already made contact with the manga shop!

That would be troublesome for his plans.

"Better go take a look first!"

After a moment of silence, the Wanderer shook his head.

Then, adjusting the woven bamboo hat on his head, he stepped inside.

A flash of light appeared before his eyes,

and the Wanderer found himself in an unusually spacious store.

The interior was uniquely decorated, filled with all sorts of strange figurines.

"Just as the Lady described—this must be the shop!"

After surveying the store, the Wanderer grew even more certain.

At that moment, a pleasant voice sounded beside him.

"Hello, would you like to read some manga?"

The Wanderer turned toward the voice and saw a cute girl dressed as a maid.

She was smiling at him warmly.

"Yes, a colleague told me the manga here is extraordinary, so I came specifically to see for myself."

The Wanderer gave a slight nod, his tone devoid of any arrogance.

Though she was merely a little maid!

But the person behind her was terrifyingly powerful!

The Wanderer was proud, but not foolish.

So he was extremely courteous.

"Then follow me! I'll take you to the boss!"

Noel smiled and nodded.

Though the customer's attire was peculiar,

she had already seen Shi Laimu, so she wasn't overly curious.

She then led the Wanderer toward the counter.

"Welcome, Wanderer!"

Seeing him, Han Feng gave a faint smile and greeted him.

He had just been wondering when the Fatui Executioner from Inazuma would arrive,

and yet here he was, so soon!

What a coincidence!

"Boss, I heard the manga here is extraordinary, so I came to take a look!"

The Wanderer spoke with a touch of respect.

That the boss recognized his identity didn't surprise him.

For such a powerful being, it was perfectly normal.

"Ten thousand Mora per person, once per day! The manga is on the shelves over there."

Han Feng gave a brief explanation.

He was quite pleased with the Wanderer's attitude.

As long as they came for the manga, everything was fine.

As for other matters, Han Feng preferred not to get involved.

Let them each earn their rewards first, then settle things later!

"Thank you, Boss!"

The Wanderer nodded.

Ten thousand Mora for such an opportunity? It was an absolute steal!

If any other Fatui Executioner came, they'd beg for it!

They'd want to live here every day.

The only pity was that you could only read once per day!

Shaking his head, the Wanderer put those thoughts aside.

He set down a bag of Mora and walked toward the shelves.

"So many manga here?"

Seeing the rows of manga on the shelves, the Wanderer frowned slightly.

This was problematic!

He didn't know which one to pick!

The lady did not elaborate on the comic's content or the rewards in her letter.

But Scattered Soldier was also a decisive person.

Since I don't know what to read, I'll just pick one at random!

Thus, "Daiya Ultraman" was luckily chosen.

Then, Scattered Soldier took the comic and walked into the store.

After Scattered Soldier left, two familiar faces entered the store.

It was the sisters Qin and Barbara.

Behind them followed a white figure.

The white figure's eyes lit up the moment it saw Han Feng behind the counter.

Ignoring the two women, it dashed swiftly into his arms.

"Is this Digivice?"

Seeing the creature in his arms, both cat-like and rat-like, Han Feng's eyes flickered with surprise.

"Yes, Boss Han! Xiao Xue has successfully evolved!"

Barbara now stepped up to the counter, beaming with joy.

After returning from the comic shop that morning, she began caring for Xiao Xue.

She fed it fruit while channeling elemental energy into it.

Xiao Xue had already been on the brink of evolution,

and with half a day's worth of effort,

it finally succeeded in evolving!

Into the familiar, adorable Meow—Digivice!
