So far, Noelle had only read one manga—Cautious Hero: This Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious.
After wandering around the shop, she quickly spotted the figures from that series.
Not only were there Ryuguuin Seiya's, but also the hopeless goddess Ristarte's.
Seeing the lifelike figurines made Noelle's heart brim with joy.
It felt as if the characters had stepped right out of the manga and into reality.
While Noelle was admiring the figures, Han Feng suddenly received another system prompt:
[Detected that the host has successfully upgraded the manga shop. A special reward will now be granted!]
"A hidden reward too?!"
A flicker of surprise flashed in Han Feng's eyes.
Had he not decided on a whim to upgrade the shop, he might never have known about this bonus.
This system really knew how to play tricks.
"Open the reward." Han Feng ordered.
[Opening special reward…]
[Reward obtained—Branch Store Card]
[Branch Store Card: Allows you to open a branch store in any chosen region.]
"System, how exactly does this Branch Store Card work?"
Han Feng asked curiously.
"Once the card is used in a chosen region, customers who enter the branch will be transferred directly into the current main shop. When they leave, they will return to the original region."
"I see!"
Han Feng immediately understood.
Essentially, the branch wasn't a real shop—it was like a teleportation gate.
When customers entered the door of the branch, what they saw wasn't the inside of the branch itself, but Mondstadt's manga shop.
And when they left, they didn't end up in Mondstadt, but back in their own city.
This was an amazing reward!
With it, more and more customers would come.
The manga shop's reputation would no longer be limited to Mondstadt—it could finally spread outward!
"But where should I set the branch?"
Han Feng thought for a moment.
Before he transmigrated, Genshin Impact had only opened up Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma.
The other regions were still unknown.
Naturally, he had to choose from these three.
Mondstadt was out of the question—the main shop was already here.
That left Liyue and Inazuma.
Both were viable choices.
But Inazuma was likely unstable for now.
Besides, Yanfei and Xiangling—two Liyue natives—had already visited.
In the end, Han Feng decided:
Liyue would be the location of the first branch!
"System, use the Branch Store Card in Liyue."
[Ding! Branch Store Card successfully used.]
The moment the notification rang out—
In a remote alley in Liyue Harbor, a strange shop appeared.
Above its entrance hung a signboard.
Four bold Liyue-style characters were inscribed upon it: "Solace Book House."
The manga shop's very first branch had officially opened in Liyue!
"Perfect."
Hearing the system's confirmation, Han Feng was overjoyed.
The shop was upgraded, and now a branch was open too.
Two great milestones in one day!
That called for a celebration!
And with the Gourmet Tablecloth ready, food and drink were covered.
Plus, he had a little maid by his side.
It couldn't get more perfect.
"Boss, why do you look so happy? Is it because of the shop upgrade?"
Noelle asked curiously, seeing the smile on Han Feng's face.
"Not just that—I also opened a branch."
Han Feng shook his head lightly.
"Branch?"
Noelle blinked in confusion.
The manga shop was already opening branches?
When had that happened? Why didn't she know?
"It's like this…"
Han Feng explained about the branch shop in Liyue.
"So tomorrow's customers might not only be from Mondstadt, but also from Liyue?"
Noelle's eyes widened in shock.
A branch that worked like a teleportation gate?!
As expected of the boss—always extraordinary!
Thinking of this mysterious ability, Noelle couldn't help but look at Han Feng with growing admiration.
"Two joyful events in one day—it really is worth celebrating."
She nodded and said, "Boss, wait a moment. I'll go prepare dinner right now."
She started to head upstairs.
"No need. I've already taken care of it."
Han Feng chuckled.
"Eh? Already? Did you cook it yourself?"
Noelle tilted her head, puzzled.
But no—that couldn't be.
She hadn't seen the boss go upstairs at all.
Did he order from Good Hunter instead?
"Stop guessing. I have the Gourmet Tablecloth. Whatever you want to eat, it'll provide."
Han Feng spread out the patterned tablecloth and smiled.
"This… tablecloth can prepare food?"
Noelle was visibly confused.
Was there really such a miraculous thing?
If only she had read Doraemon, she would have known.
"Go on—try it. Just think of something you want to eat, then say it."
Han Feng encouraged.
"Alright, I'll give it a try!"
Trusting her boss completely, Noelle closed her eyes in thought.
"I want honey-glazed roast carrots with meat!"
She opened her eyes and declared it.
It was Good Hunter's signature dish—and one of her favorites.
The moment her words fell, her eyes went wide.
Because right there on the tablecloth, a steaming hot dish appeared.
Exactly what she had asked for—Honey-Glazed Roast Carrots with Meat!
"T-This is unbelievable!"
Even though she had seen many wonders today,
this one still left Noelle utterly stunned.
If Han Feng's manga Cooking Master Boy gave ordinary people the chance to become master chefs—
then this Gourmet Tablecloth was something that could outright put chefs out of work.
No need for kitchens, no need for chefs.
Whatever one wanted, just think it, say it—and the dish appeared instantly.
Curious, Noelle took a bite.
The taste was identical to Good Hunter's cooking.
"Boss, this Gourmet Tablecloth is too amazing! At this rate, we won't ever need to cook again."
Noelle exclaimed in awe.
If meals were solved this way, then all she'd need to do was cleaning and greeting guests.
Her maid duties just got way too easy…
