Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Borrowing Books Again (6th update, seeking subscriptions/thanks to Pepsi for raising goldfish for the 10,000 reward)

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Han Qiwu took "Dinosaur Knight" and headed to the museum.

Time to swap for a new book and add some more gravity power.

Honestly, gravity is truly an amazing thing. Here’s a shoutout to Old Sir Newton for his contributions to physics.

Walking into the museum, Zack was seated in front of an easel, holding a palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other as he worked on an oil painting. Seeing Han Qiwu step inside, he turned and asked, "Young adventurer, do you have any new items to donate?"

"Unfortunately, no. I haven’t come across anything interesting recently." Han Qiwu shook his head and handed "Dinosaur Knight" over to Zack. "I finished this book and wanted to exchange it for another one."

"You finished it? How was it? Did you memorize it backwards yet? Want to read it a few more times?" The palette and brush in Zack’s hands vanished instantly, and he appeared beside Han Qiwu, enthusiastically asking.

Considering he still needed to ask Zack some questions later, Han Qiwu carefully crafted his response. "It has a retro style, a writing technique that’s quite innocent, and a structure full of childlike wonder. Overall, it’s a book with its own unique charm."

Clearly, Zack wasn’t some layered cake, as he didn’t see five layers of meaning within Han Qiwu’s answer. He happily patted Han Qiwu on the shoulder. "Well said! Great minds think alike. What book do you plan to borrow today?"

"Which other books in Area A are written by you?" Han Qiwu asked with a smile, secretly thinking he’d better avoid Zack’s works this time and try someone else’s style.

Always reading fake deep stuff—who can tolerate it?

"I can’t tell you that. My works are treasures you need to discover yourself!" Zack said, looking smug.

Say you’re full of yourself, and you’re actually proud of it?

The corner of Han Qiwu’s mouth twitched, and he silently followed Zack to the basement.

Walking into the reading room, Han Qiwu took a deep breath, feeling his mind become much clearer.

"The trees here must be extraordinary. If I could strip off some bark, maybe I could get some saplings—that would be a steal!"

Zack, waiting outside, would never have guessed that while someone appeared to be borrowing books, their actual focus was on his trees.

Taking a few steps forward, Han Qiwu once again saw the pure natural bookshelves formed by tree roots.

Natural, beautiful, and elegant.

Hmm, I want them.

But unlike last time, some of the books here had been rearranged.

"The Mermaid’s Tale," "Flower Fairy Moves Into My House," "The Stingy Goblin," "Sky Pillar," "The King’s Women," and others.

Looking at the newly appeared books, Han Qiwu was utterly baffled.

The King’s Women? What kind of book is this? Some kind of harem drama?

Not reading, not reading.

If I finish it and gain woman gravity, what then?

Can’t read, can’t read.

Women, those creatures, are too much of a distraction from gaming.

After thinking for a while, Han Qiwu once again picked up "Flower Fairy Moves Into My House," the book he had been considering since last time.

As soon as he took the book down, Han Qiwu automatically appeared at the reading room’s entrance.

The moment he looked up, he saw Zack looking at him with a meaningful smile.

Han Qiwu’s heart sank in disbelief. Could it be that this book was written by Zack as well?

He hurriedly glanced down at its stats.

[You have successfully borrowed the book "Flower Fairy Moves Into My House." Borrowing period: 7 days. Please return it on time.]

[Area A Book: "Flower Fairy Moves Into My House"]

[Description: The love and hatred among the flower fairies]

[Author: Zack]

[Reading Requirements: At least one blooming flower planted in your yard]

[Reading Effect: Flower Fairy Gravity +10]

[Note: Flower fairies are the best partners for flowers.]

Han Qiwu: "??? Why does it have to be about the love and hatred among flower fairies? How is this any different from ’The King’s Women?’ I wanted some pure, whimsical adventure featuring fairies!"

"This book is also excellent. I recommend copying it a hundred times to deepen your understanding." Zack said with an evil grin, "Who knew we’d be so fated—twice in a row you picked books written by me." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Copy it a hundred times?

Dream on!

Aside from my own name, I’ve never written any word a hundred times!

"Wait, could it be that all the books here are written by you?" Han Qiwu suddenly realized a possibility.

"Relax, I don’t have the time to write that many autobiographies." Zack waved his hand nonchalantly. "No need to say more—fate brought you here."

Fine.

"Since we’re so destined, can you tell me how to build a real fishpond?" Han Qiwu took the opportunity to ask.

"You’ll know tomorrow," Zack replied casually.

"Thanks. And how can I obtain more career compatibility potions?" Han Qiwu continued asking.

Upon hearing this, Zack’s face darkened. He stopped and, with a wave of his hand, sent Han Qiwu flying out of the museum.

Carried on the wind was Zack’s cold voice:

"I hope next time you come, you bring five ancient artifacts that haven’t been donated yet."

Han Qiwu, now back to his senses, looked frustrated. "Fine, fine, I’ll bring them. No need to flip out like that."

Clearly, career compatibility potions were Zack’s eternal sore spot. Guess I’ll have to figure it out on my own.

As for why I’d learn how to build a fishpond tomorrow—Han Qiwu couldn’t figure it out for now. He decided not to dwell on it. Tomorrow would reveal everything.

And for now? Han Qiwu decided to visit the seed shop to see if they sold flower seeds, since the book "Flower Fairy Moves Into My House" required flowers in his yard.

Before heading out, Han Qiwu had a thought.

Maybe, he didn’t need to go to the seed shop for flower seeds.

Sitting on his electric scooter, Han Qiwu took out the book to test reading a couple of pages.

Sure enough, it worked.

Closing the book, Han Qiwu smiled slightly—his guess had been correct.

Although Han Qiwu hadn’t bought flower seeds, don’t forget that he had purchased ten ’anything-might-grow’ mixed seeds from the peddler.

Moments ago, Han Qiwu was simply testing whether those mixed seeds included flower seeds.

The answer was yes.

Saved some money again.

As for the rest of today, Han Qiwu planned to head to the beach for some fishing, then pick up the spider puppet before heading home.

Once at the seaside, Han Qiwu finally regained the confidence of being the trillions-over candidate for King of the Sea.

In just two hours, he reeled in 32 fish.

Considering his inventory space, Han Qiwu decided to sell the fish first, then went back to the beach to continue fishing.

Without the fisherman’s bonus, the fish only sold for 2046 gold.

Missing that fisherman’s 25% price boost.

Grind! Power through!

Three hours later, Han Qiwu’s inventory and fish bucket were packed to the brim.

Not a single more could fit.

Besides the catch, during his five-hour fishing spree today, he also picked up six treasure chests.

Opening them one by one, he found: Crystal Balls ×3, Frozen Crystal Ball ×1, [Moss-Covered Anchor] ×1, [Rotted Fish Skin] ×1.

[Moss-Covered Anchor]: Rumor has it that ships carrying this anchor can locate ghost ships.

[Rotted Fish Skin]: The fish skin seems to have some strange patterns on it.

It looks like: xiexiedajiadezhichiwoainimen.
