When the manga shop was upgraded previously, the system had given Han Feng a special reward.
A Branch Store Card.
Because of that card, he had successfully opened a branch in Liyue.
It could be said that if Han Feng wanted his manga shop to keep expanding in the future—
The Branch Store Card was essential.
Thinking of this, Han Feng directly contacted the system.
"Can I still obtain that special reward if I renovate the manga shop again?"
The system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Spend 5 million Mora to modify the manga shop once. Afterward, you will receive one special reward."
After receiving the confirmation, a satisfied smile appeared on Han Feng's face.
Since a reward was guaranteed, his focus now shifted to renovating the shop.
"But how should I change it?"
Han Feng began looking around the manga store.
He had no intention of making a meaningless adjustment just to trigger the reward.
When his gaze landed on the computer in the corner, his eyes lit up.
The computer had been Lady's reward before and was placed there simply to attract customers.
Back then, he had just put it somewhere randomly.
Now it could finally be put to proper use.
"Maybe… I can make a leisure area."
Han Feng quickly came up with an idea.
Although the manga shop currently had 22 manga series, which was far more than before—
for the growing number of customers, it was still not enough.
Quite often, people arrived only to find all the manga occupied, and then left because they couldn't wait.
Once the Inazuma branch opened, this problem would definitely become even worse.
To Han Feng, every customer was basically future profit.
Naturally, he couldn't let them leave like that.
So creating a waiting and leisure area was very necessary.
He could place computers, card tables, and other entertainment there.
Customers could relax while waiting instead of leaving.
"System, begin a small-scale renovation."
Han Feng ordered.
"Ding. 5 million Mora deducted. Host may now modify the shop."
Han Feng nodded and began working.
Last time there was a large-scale upgrade that caused huge changes.
This time it was only a small adjustment, so it finished quickly.
After the renovation, the manga shop was divided into three areas.
On the left side:Quiet Reading AreaDiscussion AreaOn the right side:Leisure Area
The leisure area contained ten computer stations and several card tables.
Because the shop was spacious enough, it didn't feel crowded at all.
Between the two sides was a wide corridor.
And to keep priorities straight, Han Feng didn't make the leisure area too large.
After all, the manga shop's main focus was still reading manga.
The leisure zone simply prevented customers from leaving while waiting.
"Wow, Boss Han! Did you renovate the shop again?!"
Paimon stared in amazement.
She even spotted the familiar computer there.
"Yeah. I added a small leisure area. If customers have no manga available, they can wait there."
Han Feng said with a smile.
"That's actually a really good idea."
Lumine nodded in agreement.
Reading manga here could take one or two hours for fast readers—or half a day for slower ones.
Waiting with nothing to do would indeed be painful.
While the girls curiously explored the new area—
Han Feng received another notification.
[System detected that the host has successfully upgraded the manga shop.]
[Special reward granted!]
"Open the reward."
Han Feng said expectantly.
[Opening special reward…]
[Reward obtained — Branch Store Card]
Description:
Allows the host to open a new branch store in any region.
"Nice."
Han Feng smiled in satisfaction.
From getting the Branch Store Card twice, he had figured something out.
Rewards from shop upgrades were always related to the manga shop itself.
Unlike system quests, which could give all sorts of items.
"If I want more branch cards in the future, I just need to keep upgrading the shop."
Han Feng concluded.
As for where to use the card—
He thought about it carefully.
The Liyue branch had only been open for two days, so using it immediately would be too soon.
He decided to wait half a day or maybe a full day.
After all, the card wouldn't expire.
After finishing that matter, Han Feng took out the Gourmet Tablecloth.
Delicious dishes began appearing.
"Hey! Boss Han, you started eating without calling us?!"
Paimon rushed over immediately.
"I saw you were having fun exploring."
Han Feng sipped his tea and smiled.
"Nothing is more fun than food!"
Paimon happily slurped a bowl of noodles, her eyes squinting with joy.
Delicious!
For Paimon, the things she loved most were:
MoraFood
And now—
Boss Han's manga too.
"Ahem. After dinner, someone still has to fulfill their promise."
Han Feng suddenly said.
Lumine's face instantly turned red.
But she didn't refuse.
She simply nodded slightly.
"Hehe! Cat-ear Lumine!"
Paimon grinned wickedly.
"I'm definitely recording it with a camera!"
Such a rare moment—
how could she not capture it?
Meanwhile, night had fallen over Mondstadt.
The newly built Nightclub had officially opened.
Colorful lights flashed on the glowing sign outside.
It looked dazzling.
Around the entrance, a huge crowd had already gathered.
People filled the streets.
"So this is the nightclub Master Diluc advertised? It looks amazing!"
"The flyers said you can sing, drink, and even… dance?"
"Dance? What's that?"
"No idea. But if Master Diluc opened it, it must be good!"
"Exactly! And today's opening night means all drinks are free!"
"Seriously?! Let's hurry inside!"
"There are too many people. We have to wait."
The crowd outside chatted excitedly.
Just a few hours earlier—
Mondstadt's richest man, Diluc, had distributed flyers throughout the city.
Promoting his brand-new nightclub.
The flyers described all kinds of entertainment inside.
Places to sing.
Drink.
Dance.
Have fun.
And best of all—
Free drinks on opening night.
The people of Mondstadt trusted Diluc greatly.
So once they heard the news, many rushed over to support him.
Of course—
the most important reason was still one thing.
Free alcohol.
