"That sounds pretty interesting. Baixiao, when we get back, put those directly in my room."
Ningguang instructed.
Although she didn't fully understand what Han Feng meant by office worker or flight attendant, she was quite curious about clothing from another world.
If they felt comfortable after trying them on, she might even promote them later.
Clothing in Liyue had become somewhat rigid and traditional.
It needed a bit of novelty.
"Yes, Lady Ningguang!"
Baixiao nodded and carefully committed the task to memory.
"Hmm? Boss Han, why does your expression look a bit strange?"
After giving her orders, Ningguang suddenly noticed Han Feng's odd expression.
"Ahem, nothing. I just think those outfits would suit you well."
Han Feng coughed lightly.
He certainly couldn't say that those outfits might lead people to imagine certain… unusual scenarios.
"Is that what you think, Boss Han?"
Ningguang's eyes brightened.
In her view, someone as capable and experienced as Han Feng must possess exceptional judgment.
If even he believed they suited her, then they must be good.
"Boss Han, when the time comes, I'll send you a few photos. I'd appreciate your evaluation."
"Of course. If you still dare to send them after trying them on."
Han Feng nodded with a slightly peculiar expression.
He suspected that once she actually wore them, she might be too embarrassed to leave the house.
"By the way, Boss Han, I'd like to ask—can this Conqueror's Luck Card be used on someone else?"
Ningguang shifted to the main issue.
Rewards from the comic shop were often unique.
If only the recipient could use them, it would complicate things.
"This kind of luck card can be used by others."
Han Feng nodded.
Item-type rewards were generally transferable.
For example, Beidou's aircraft carrier.
But things like experience cards, transformation cards, or knowledge implanted directly into the mind belonged exclusively to the recipient and could not be shared.
"That's a relief."
Ningguang let out a small sigh.
That meant she could use Baishi's luck card herself.
Thinking of this, her mood brightened considerably.
Her thoughts immediately drifted back to those outfits.
She decided to return right away and try them on.
After bidding farewell to the boss, she left the shop with her three secretaries.
Approaching Noon
"I didn't even notice—it's almost noon already."
After the four women left, Han Feng checked the time and commented.
"Boss, should we close for lunch soon?"
Noelle asked.
"Let's wait a little longer. If no one comes, then we'll pause operations."
Han Feng considered briefly.
Normally, this would already be lunchtime.
But business had been unusually good that morning, so he planned to stay open a bit longer.
"Understood."
Noelle nodded.
Just as she finished speaking, Jean walked in from outside with little Klee.
"We were just wondering whether any customers would come, and here you are. What would you like to read today?"
Han Feng greeted them with a smile.
"Boss Han, we didn't come for comics this time. Klee has something urgent to ask you."
Jean gave a wry smile.
Earlier, when she saw Klee rushing around anxiously, she thought the child had gone fish-blasting again.
But after asking, she realized something else was wrong.
Still, Klee refused to explain the details.
She insisted that only Big Brother Han Feng could help.
Jean hadn't expected that he held such importance in Klee's heart.
With no other choice, she brought Klee here.
"Oh? Something urgent?"
Han Feng looked at Klee with interest.
"Big Brother Han Feng, it's like this! Klee received a very scary letter that says Klee must go somewhere.
That person doesn't recognize Klee as Dodo's family and said Klee must be tested by going to the Dodo Kingdom!"
Klee spoke anxiously.
She believed the Dodo-King was a terrifying enemy.
In her eyes, even Acting Grand Master Jean couldn't defeat him.
Only the invincible Big Brother Han Feng could.
"Klee, don't rush. Tell us slowly—who exactly is this person?"
Noelle gently patted Klee's head.
She could tell the child was so nervous that her words were becoming jumbled.
"A bad guy, a bad guy, a bad guy! His name is the Dodo-King!"
Klee shook her head repeatedly.
"The Dodo-King? Who is that?"
Noelle blinked in confusion.
After spending so much time in the comic shop, she had gained considerable knowledge.
She had even encountered gods.
Yet she had never heard of anyone called the Dodo-King.
"Could it be another god?"
She wondered silently.
"So this is what Klee was talking about."
Jean rested her chin in thought.
This was something she truly couldn't help with.
She had never heard that name before.
Even after mentally reviewing Mondstadt's historical records, she found no trace of it.
"Even Sister Noelle and Acting Grand Master Jean haven't heard of it?"
Klee looked disappointed when she saw them both shaking their heads.
But she did not lose hope.
Because she believed Big Brother Han Feng would know.
In her heart, he was someone who could do anything.
Thinking of this, Klee hugged Han Feng's leg tightly and looked up with hopeful eyes.
"Big Brother Han Feng, do you know who the Dodo-King is? Klee doesn't want him to take Dodo away!"
"Of course I know. And did the letter also say you must go to a place called the Golden Apple Archipelago?"
Han Feng gently rubbed Klee's cheek and smiled.
Someone who knew Klee's situation so precisely— and whose goal involved Dodo—could only be one person:
Her mother, Alice.
"Looks like she's come back recently."
Han Feng thought to himself.
In the original story, Alice always knew Klee's situation.
Not only because she was a powerful witch, but also because she frequently returned secretly to check on her daughter.
It was entirely possible that she had already learned about the comic shop as well.
"Big Brother Han Feng is amazing! You even know about the island with lots of apples!"
Klee's eyes sparkled with excitement.
She knew she had come to the right person.
Now everything would be okay.
Dodo could be saved.
When she met the Dodo-King, she would try to talk things out first.
But if that didn't work—
she would use her Super Jumpy Dumpty Bombs to blast the villain away.
She absolutely would not allow that bad guy to take Dodo from her.
