"That's actually a pretty solid reward. Very practical."
Han Feng nodded slightly.
After activation, it allowed teleportation within a certain range.
In some ways, it resembled the Anywhere Door.
Not as convenient—but it didn't require prior exploration or "map saving."
You could simply go.
Each had its own advantages.
As for the one-day cooldown, that wasn't a big issue.
The key question was distance.
If the range was large enough—large enough to cross nations, that would be incredible.
Buzz—
A radiant beam descended and enveloped Xiangling.
Moments later, the light faded.
"Eh? Boss Han, where's my reward?"
Xiangling blinked.
The golden light had just shone briefly—then nothing seemed to change.
"Twisted Fate's ultimate ability—Destiny. If you activate it in your mind, you can teleport within a certain range. Cooldown: one day."
Han Feng explained.
"A teleportation skill?!"
Xiangling's eyes lit up.
This was great!
When she found out Yanfei had the Bamboo-Copter, she'd been insanely jealous.
Now it was finally her turn.
As for Twisted Fate—she remembered him from the manga.
A notorious card master and con artist.
She hadn't expected him to have such an ability!
"That's kind of similar to my Anywhere Door."
Lumine thought to herself.
Still, she preferred her door.
No cooldown. Use anytime.
And it worked for multiple people.
Super convenient.
"Congratulations, Xiangling. You won't need to travel on foot to gather ingredients anymore."
Yanfei smiled.
"Hehe, exactly! I want to try it right now. Let's go!"
Xiangling looked eager.
"Alright!"
Yanfei nodded.
As for Xingqiu—she had checked earlier.
He was still reading, completely absorbed.
Who knew how long he'd take?
She decided not to wait.
He could head back on his own later.
"Boss Han, we'll be off!"
The two girls waved and left the shop.
Outside, just as Xiangling was about to use her skill, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh right! I almost forgot to return this!"
She smacked her forehead and quickly handed the Bamboo-Copter back to Yanfei.
Last night she had gotten so absorbed in studying recipes that she forgot.
"No worries."
Yanfei waved it off casually.
"Now hurry and show me your ability!"
"Okay!"
Xiangling focused and activated Destiny.
Instantly, a map model of Liyue appeared in her mind.
Centered on her position was a massive circular radius.
"This must be the teleportation range Boss Han mentioned."
She felt quite satisfied.
The circle covered almost all of Liyue.
If she wanted, she could reach most places—including Wanmin Restaurant.
"Then Wanmin Restaurant it is!"
She selected her destination.
Whoosh!
She vanished instantly.
"…She's just gone?"
Yanfei blinked in surprise.
She hadn't sensed the slightest fluctuation.
"If Xiangling ever turned to theft, no one would ever notice."
Yanfei laughed and shook her head.
"Well, since you're gone, I might as well head out too. Time to sleep."
She placed the Bamboo-Copter on her head and soared into the sky.
That was the beauty of having multiple rewards—
use whichever suits your mood.
If she wanted a leisurely stroll around Liyue, she'd use the bicycle.
If she was tired and wanted to head straight home—
Bamboo-Copter.
Life was wonderful.
Back at the shop, after the two left, customers gradually trickled out.
Before long, only Xingqiu remained.
"Wow, what manga is he reading? It's already dark and he's still not done?"
Paimon stared outside at the night sky in shock.
"Don't bother. With that little brain of yours, you'd never understand it."
Han Feng pulled Paimon into his arms and gave her a "massage."
"Hmph! Don't look down on me, Boss! I'm very capable!"
Paimon puffed her cheeks.
"Just you wait! I'll read it tomorrow!"
"Fine. If you can understand it, I'll cancel the double-condition you owe me."
Han Feng smiled.
"You said it! No take-backs!"
Paimon's eyes sparkled.
She had lost to him twice at cards before.
If she could clear that debt—this was her chance!
"Of course. But if you can't understand it—if you're completely confused—then the penalty doubles again. That makes it four times."
Han Feng grinned.
He wasn't worried.
Just the terminology alone would probably give Paimon a headache.
And even if she somehow understood—he wouldn't lose much.
He had already won big with Lumine.
Paimon was practically a bonus.
"Hmph! It's a deal!"
Paimon felt triumphant.
How hard could a manga be?
She'd read plenty already.
Easy.
"…I have a bad feeling about this."
Lumine sighed deeply.
Every time Paimon looked this confident—she lost spectacularly.
This time probably wouldn't be any different.
