Chapter 337 (2/2)

“Yes. We increased the number of books. You can even find the popular novels that are serialized through internet here.” The short-haired girl pointed to the bookshelf after a nod.

“Um. Looks good.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head, indicating his consent.

When she saw Yuan Zhou looking around the bookstore, the girl introduced the bookstore to him while walking forward.

“There are five floors in this Haohan Bookstore. We have children’s books, youngsters’ books, classic novels…” The girl introduced the details to him dutifully. Only after that did they leave and go to the next division.

Of course, there was also a mark in each row to roughly classify different divisions. Otherwise, Yuan Zhou would never find all the books in one day.

Following the guidance, Yuan Zhou only intended to buy up the books on the first page of the index book first.

He reached out his slender fingers and checked the book carefully one by one in hope of finding what he was looking for. Just in a little while, he found 8 books. Unfortunately, there were still approximately half books that hadn’t been found.

“Do you have the books of Road to the Cooked Wheaten Food, Quick Tips of Nice Cuisines…?” Yuan Zhou reported ten books in one breath to a thirty-year-old attendant and asked.

“No, we don’t.” The woman looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise and then answered courteously.

“No? Then do you know other places that sell them?” Yuan Zhou knitted the brows and felt a little complicated.

The woman glanced at Yuan Zhou in surprise again and then answered, “Basically, none of them are sold. Most of these books have been no longer published. You can choose something else.” While saying that, she turned around and walked away.

Yuan Zhou was a little dumbfounded. What the hell was that? Not available for sale, nor for publishing?

On hearing that, he was slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, however, he cheered up instantly.

“System, what do you think of that? They are not published anymore. Does that mean that I can skip them?” Yuan Zhou inquired about the system’s opinions with a seemingly kind-hearted manner.

The system displayed, “The reward has been released to you.”

Although Yuan Zhou felt the system wasn’t likely to simplify the mission, especially on the aspect of culinary skills, he still felt a little sorrowful when he was refused mercilessly.

“But it’s because it’s out of print now. It’s an unforeseen factor,” Yuan Zhou said primly.

The system didn’t answer him. Its meaning has been made very obvious. Since Yuan Zhou had already received the reward, there was no way to cancel the mission.

“I suddenly feel the shiny floor here is so attractive that I like it very much. So if you don’t say anything, I will feel the cold surface of the floor.”

Yuan Zhou glanced at the white tile after he said that primly, with a conspicuous intention of lying on it if the system didn’t give him a satisfactory answer.

In front of the system, Yuan Zhou didn’t have the aloof manner of a prince charming at all. The only thought was that he could get something more from the stingy system. That would be a victory.

The system, “Host, you can buy the books from the online bookstores or read the PDF electronic books.”

“The price is more expensive than those in the actual bookstore. You know the bookstore is offering discounts today and moreover I have the membership. See, VIP?” Yuan Zhou took out the glittery membership card dumbly.

Provided the system had an inner voice, it would definitely have a mental breakdown.

The system, “Considering the difficulty in completing the mission, the system will randomly offer the reward of One Hundred Ways of Making Mantou①.

A successful blackmail!!!

…

① Mantou is a plain steamed bun with no fillings, a kind of cooked wheaten food.
