"Hehe, Boss Han, you think this idea is pretty good too, right?
If it's you, this Director absolutely won't charge a single Mora!
So? Want to give it a try?"
As she spoke, Hu Tao looked eager to experiment.
She still didn't know how effective this reward actually was.
If Boss Han would let her test it—then she'd know how much force to use in the future.
"What are you dreaming about?"
Han Feng flicked Hu Tao lightly on the forehead.
Using the reward I gave you against me?
The last guy who tried something like that—the grass over his grave is already three meters tall.
"Then what about Miss Noelle? Want to try? Free of charge too!"
After failing to persuade Boss Han,
Hu Tao turned toward the little maid.
"Uh… maybe not…"
Noelle laughed awkwardly.
She had absolutely no interest in experiencing this so-called soul-stirring sensation.
Are you sure one palm strike isn't just creating more business for Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?
She felt like she should stay farther away from this Director in the future.
First meeting—
invited to experience funeral services.
Now—
inviting people to experience soul-stirring palm techniques.
Terrifying.
She was just a maid.
She couldn't handle this…
"I can't believe nobody wants free service."
Hu Tao looked disappointed.
Looks like she'd have to go outside later and test it on Slimes or Hilichurls.
But those were monsters—
the experience definitely wouldn't compare to testing on people.
If only she had someone suitable to spar with…
Thinking of something, Hu Tao quickly turned to Han Feng.
"Oh right, Boss—has anyone else read this manga?"
If someone had obtained a similar reward—
wouldn't they be perfect for sparring?
"Yes. Xiangling and Xingqiu both read it.
Xiangling obtained the Jade Maiden Heart Manual, and Xingqiu got the Dark Iron Heavy Sword."
Han Feng took a sip of tea.
"Jade Maiden Heart Manual~~?"
Hearing that reward,
Hu Tao burst into laughter.
Xiangling got that?!
After reading The Return of the Condor Heroes, she knew perfectly well what was special about that cultivation technique.
It required male and female dual cultivation!
Just imagining Xiangling's awkward reaction—
Hu Tao laughed so hard she held her stomach.
No—this was way too funny!
"Hu Tao, you could try practicing with Xiangling."
Han Feng suddenly suggested.
"Huh? Me?"
Hu Tao blinked.
She might be eccentric—
but she was still a girl!
How were two girls supposed to practice the Jade Maiden Heart Manual?
"Wait… does Boss actually have that kind of weird hobby?"
Hu Tao's expression became strange.
You really can't judge a person by appearances.
"What are you thinking?
It's because you have a Pyro Vision, and you're Xiangling's friend."
Han Feng flicked her forehead again.
One look at her expression and he knew she misunderstood.
He wasn't joking.
The reason the Jade Maiden Heart Manual required a man and woman—
was probably to balance yin and yang.
If that was the case—then Hu Tao, with a Pyro Vision, should have plenty of yang energy.
Maybe she and Xiangling really would react.
After all—this was a world of elemental power.
You couldn't judge everything using traditional wuxia rules.
"So that's what you meant!"
Hu Tao covered her forehead and suddenly understood.
"Hehe… then later I'll go tease Xiangling a bit."
Hu Tao laughed mischievously.
Who knew there was such a great opportunity?
This way—
she could officially and legally "bully" Xiangling.
But she wasn't planning to leave yet.
Because she was waiting for Qiqi.
It wasn't easy to finally meet her—
Hu Tao wanted to improve their relationship.
Thinking this, she greeted Boss Han and began wandering around the manga shop.
…
Han Feng could more or less guess Hu Tao's thoughts.
But he didn't stop her.
Giving Qiqi another friend wasn't a bad thing.
There was no reason for her to remain lonely forever.
Shaking his head, Han Feng opened the system panel.

"System, draw a manga."
Han Feng gave the command.
[Drawing manga…]
[Obtained manga — Dragon Ball]
[Dragon Ball: Long ago, an ancient legend spread throughout the world. Seven mysterious orbs known as Dragon Balls were scattered across the land. Whoever gathered all seven and recited the spell could summon the Eternal Dragon and have any wish granted.]
[Living deep in the mountains, Son Goku possessed incredible strength. By chance, he met the genius scientist Bulma and left the mountains with her to search for the Dragon Balls.]
[Along the journey, he met allies such as the lecherous Master Roshi, Oolong, the shy Yamcha who turned red around women, and the arrogant monk Krillin.]
[Of course, many evil people also sought the Dragon Balls to satisfy their own desires, leading to countless fierce battles.]
"Another childhood classic…"
Han Feng sighed emotionally.
Whether it was the fights or the story—everything was unforgettable.
There were two things he remembered especially clearly.
The first—
the Kamehameha.
It wasn't the strongest technique, but absolutely one of the most iconic.
Especially with that signature pose—
countless people in his previous life had tried imitating it.
The second—
naturally—
the seven Dragon Balls.
Gather all seven—
and you could make a wish.
In some ways—they resembled the Peace Stars.
Equally powerful.
Equally difficult to obtain.
But in Han Feng's opinion—
collecting all seven Dragon Balls would be hard.
Getting one or two?
That should be easy enough.
The problem was—one or two Dragon Balls meant nothing.
Only all seven together mattered.
"If seven Dragon Balls ever appeared across Teyvat…"
Han Feng suddenly felt anticipation.
Summon Shenron.
Make a wish.
Who could resist a temptation like that?
