As soon as the Bookstore opened, those with numbers quickly lined up. Zhang Yunji had also returned to Dubian Town to continue serving the Mysterious Bookstore as a ticket checker.

Ma Feifei also got up very early today and was scribbling on the notice board inside the Bookstore.

This is something fun that Ma Feifei recently discovered: apart from the few paragraphs of text automatically generated by the system, the host can write on it with Ballpoint Pen.

For example, right now, Ma Feifei wrote a line on it, "Our new product, <The Grave Robbers' Chronicles>, is now available. Reading the entire book will give you a chance to trigger the Book Instance — The Tomb of the Hegemon. (Note: Those who trigger the Tomb of the Hegemon can bring three teammates to the world in the book within three days. After clearing the Tomb of the Hegemon, they will receive generous rewards.)"

In fact, whether they were practitioners who came in to read or onlookers outside, everyone was watching Ma Feifei write.

"The Grave Robbers' Chronicles?"

"The Tomb of the Hegemon?"

"Book Instance?"

The crowd looked at the words Ma Feifei had written on the notice board, some of them puzzled.

"Shopkeeper, what exactly is the meaning of 'Book Instance?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Just then, Ma Feifei finished writing and was admiring his artistic calligraphy with satisfaction. When someone asked, Ma Feifei explained, "What does it mean? Actually, it's similar to the story mission that Miss Liu Ying completed when she entered <The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain>!"

In truth, Ma Feifei himself didn't know what the Tomb of the Hegemon was all about, because he had never been inside it.

"Does that mean we can obtain a high-level spirit sword? Just like Miss Liu Ying?" someone asked excitedly.

Ma Feifei tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "It's not just the spirit sword; there are many, many good things inside."

This is the tomb of Emperor Chu the Conqueror, a top figure on the Azure Dragon Continent five thousand years ago! What are high-level spirit swords? Even if there are divine artifacts inside, Ma Feifei wouldn't be surprised at all.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy. They didn't bother to ask any further questions and rushed towards the bookshelf where the Yellow Quality books were placed. However, the books on it had already been taken by those with ulterior motives.

"Who got their hands on 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles'?" someone asked curiously.

"Yeah, yeah, who took that newly released copy of <The Grave Robbers' Chronicles>?" Everyone was quite curious about this new book.

Taishan, who was sitting in the corner, was about to stand up when Azi slapped him and said, "Are you a tiger? Can't you be a little more discreet?"

Taishan said "Oh," chuckled, sat down again, picked up a book called the Diamond Sutra, and began to read it intently.

Strangely enough, Taishan, who is three meters tall, Minimize considerably after entering the Bookstore, appearing to be only a little over two meters tall. Although still somewhat noticeable, he was no longer as eye-catching.

"You're holding the book upside down!" Azi laughed at Taishan's antics and scolded him.

"Azi, I don't like reading. Actually, you and Big Brother can just come in. Reading here is so expensive, it's a waste of my Spirit Crystal to come in." Taishan said in a deep voice, holding the Diamond Sutra.

"Is this where you come in to read books? This is where you come in to comprehend martial arts techniques and skills!" Azi said sternly.

"You shouldn't have chosen this Diamond Sutra! I heard there's a really popular copy of the Legend of the Condor Heroes in the Bookstore, and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms in it are really powerful," Taishan said.

"What do you know? The Legend of the Condor Heroes is Blue Quality, and this Diamond Sutra is Yellow Quality. We spent so much Spirit Crystal, we definitely want to read the best books!" Azi said seriously.

"Azi, you're so smart!" Taishan said admiringly.

Azi tossed her head and said smugly, "Of course!"

The One-armed Big Brother beside him smiled and shook his head, continuing to flip through the pages of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles."

The Bookstore is open for business as usual; readers inside are quietly reading, while onlookers outside are waiting for the special effects to appear.

Ma Feifei carried his small stool to the courtyard, glanced at Yun Qingyang lying on the rocking chair gazing at the sky, pursed his lips, sat down to the side, and took out a booklet from his spatial bag to read.

This was a reward given to Ma Feifei for unlocking Book Instance "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles". It was placed directly in a drawer in the Bookstore, and Ma Feifei only got it after returning, which gave him the opportunity to study it.

'The Tomb of the Hegemon Walkthrough Manual'

This is the name of the manual.

Then, turning to the title page, one finds a brief introduction.

The Tomb of the Hegemon, a hidden instance within the novel "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Reading the entire "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" novel may trigger the Tomb of the Hegemon instance.

The instance can be triggered multiple times without any restrictions.

The number of players allowed in the instance is fixed at four. (Note: The difficulty of the instance will be adjusted based on the strength of the team entering the instance.)

Clearing the dungeon will reward you with the relics of Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

Title: The First Level of the Tomb of the Hegemon, The Tomb Guardian.

Then Ma Feifei saw an illustration. The scene depicted was the exterior of the tomb of Emperor Chu the Conqueror, a royal tomb divided into nine squares, with a river of blood formed by human blood.

Next to the illustration were lines of small text.

Dungeon Description: A four-person team of book lovers must cross the Blood River to enter the tomb. Here they will encounter obstacles from the Blood River, which will spawn a tomb guardian. Defeating the tomb guardian will allow them to pass through the Blood River and enter the tomb.

Then there's another line of text below.

The method to defeat the tomb guardian: Using Wood Element Cultivation Method can inflict significant damage on the tomb guardian.

"Wood Element Cultivation Method?" Ma Feifei thought for a moment, and realized that he didn't know any cultivators who knew Wood Element Cultivation Method.

Turn the page again to the second page.

Title: The Tomb of the Hegemon, Level 2: The Maze

Dungeon Introduction: After successfully clearing the first level, you will be automatically teleported into the Nine-Square Grid Tomb. Find the correct path to reach the final level. If you go the wrong way, you will encounter the wronged soul of the person who was possessed by Emperor Chu the Conqueror and died in the tomb.

How to clear the maze: There is a map with a long line on it. Follow the line to pass the second level and reach the final level.

"This level is easy!" Ma Feifei said in surprise.

With this route, you can complete the level without putting in any effort.

"No, we can't sell the walkthrough for the second level, or we'll be doomed." Ma Feifei shook her head and turned to the third page.

The final level of the Tomb of the Hegemon: The Unwilling Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

Dungeon Introduction: After being Sheer Force absorbed into the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," Emperor Chu the Conqueror, unwilling to become an experience point farm, constantly tries to find a chance to leave the Book Instance. Because Emperor Chu the Conqueror possesses his own consciousness, defeating Emperor Chu the Conqueror is extremely difficult. Of course, upon successfully defeating Emperor Chu the Conqueror, the team will randomly receive Emperor Chu the Conqueror's burial goods.

The method to pass the final level: Since Emperor Chu the Conqueror possesses independent consciousness, the team can try to communicate with Emperor Chu the Conqueror and persuade Emperor Chu the Conqueror to give up resisting.

"This..." Upon seeing this, Ma Feifei was speechless. This was supposed to be a method?

I'll talk to someone and say, "I'm going to kill you, don't resist?"

Joke.

"This guide is utter nonsense," Ma Feifei couldn't help but complain.

Subconsciously, Ma Feifei continued to turn the page and discovered that there was actually a fourth page.

The Tomb of the Hegemon Host's Guide: Each time the Tomb of the Hegemon dungeon is opened, the host has a chance to enter the dungeon together, disguising themselves as any of the bosses in stages one and three. If the host successfully prevents the dungeon team from clearing the dungeon, the host can randomly draw one item from any of the four team members. (Note: The higher the team's strength, the higher the quality of the item drawn.)

"This is great! This is great!" Ma Feifei's face lit up with joy as he looked at the introduction to the host's chapter.
