The Right Way to Flirt with Girls

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Qiong's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment as she said, "Shopkeeper, you're being hypocritical."

Ma Feifei chuckled and said, "Although the rhetoric is a bit exaggerated, I really didn't think of that location. I truly admire your intelligence, Sister Gongsun."

Did Ma Feifei even think about it? Not at all! He's got so many things to do all day long, where would he find the time to think about these things...?

Gongsun Qiong smiled again, seemingly in a better mood, and looked at Ma Feifei, saying, "I wonder when the shop owner plans to hold this event?"

Just as Ma Feifei thought, Mysterious Bookstore no longer needs to advertise any of its events, because the name "Mysterious Bookstore" itself is the biggest advertisement.

The only remaining issue is that the venue has been found, the manpower problem will be solved by Wantong Trading Market, and the only thing left to be confirmed is the event time.

Ma Feifei thought for a moment and said, "The sooner the better, how about we set it for June 6th!"

For a purely experiential event like this, Ma Feifei naturally hoped to hold it quickly and complete the Side Quest. If it weren't for the need for some preparation time, Ma Feifei would have loved to hold the event tomorrow.

"June 6th? Three days from now?" Gongsun Qiong was a little confused; the timing seemed a bit rushed...

Ma Feifei asked, "Is there a problem?"

Gongsun Qiong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's possible, but it feels a bit rushed."

Although organizing an event for 100,000 people may seem complicated, it is actually quite easy.

First, all the test papers for Ma Feifei's side are ready. Second, there is a ready-made venue, Wantong Trading Market has enough manpower that can be mobilized at any time.

The only remaining concern is the number of participants.

However, precisely because of the Mysterious Bookstore's event to give back to its readers, and with the incentive of the Mysterious Bookstore's abundant rewards such as Spirit Crystal, cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, magical artifacts, and sprites, the number of participants is actually the least of our concerns.

The Mysterious Bookstore these days is no joke; it can easily attract the attention of most of the monks in Dubian Town by doing just a little something.

Ten thousand people would be a matter of minutes.

The main reason Ma Feifei said three days later was because he considered that everyone needed time to register.

"It was alright. This activity was pretty simple. Everyone signed up, answered the test, and then it was over," Ma Feifei said.

Gongsun Qiong nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "What are the requirements for registration?"

Ma Feifei rested her chin on her hand and thought about it carefully.

The task released by the system this time really doesn't have any requirements, no fees, and no restrictions on cultivation level. Whether you're an ordinary person or a cultivator, you can sign up to participate.

However, there are hardly any ordinary people left in Dubian Town now, so this area can basically be eliminated.

"After all, this is an event to give back to our readers, so setting too many requirements wouldn't be appropriate. Let's set the registration fee at one hundred Spirit Crystal per person."

"Pfft!"

Gongsun Qiong stared blankly at the serious-looking Ma Feifei, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, she immediately stopped talking and covered her mouth with her hand, but the smile in the corner of her eyes still showed that she was amused by Ma Feifei.

Seeing Gongsun Qiong suddenly laugh, Ma Feifei couldn't help but say, "What are you laughing at? I didn't say anything wrong! Think about it, this event to give back to our readers has such generous rewards, I have to oversee it. At the very least, I need to make sure that everyone participating is a loyal reader of Mysterious Bookstore, right? This is a reader appreciation event! We can't let those who have designs on Mysterious Bookstore or are hostile towards it come in and take advantage of the situation."

"A hundred Spirit Crystal are enough to distinguish friend from foe?" Gongsun Qiong said with a smile.

Since Ma Feifei came in, her strong smile has become more frequent, and her mood has improved. Even after saying those words, she subconsciously picked up the water glass in front of her and drank the water in one gulp.

"Of course!" Ma Feifei said earnestly, refilling Gongsun Qiong's cup with the kettle before filling his own. He said, "Think about it, how could those who have designs on or are hostile towards the Mysterious Bookstore it make money off them? Don't underestimate this one hundred Spirit Crystal. You'd feel terrible if you had to give those Spirit Crystal to someone you hate. So even if they pay the registration fee, I can still annoy them, right?"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Qiong actually found a certain truth in Ma Feifei's explanation.

"Alright, then it'll be the registration fee of one hundred Spirit Crystal, as you said." Gongsun Qiong nodded and said.

She hadn't originally planned to raise any objections, since the entire event was organized by Mysterious Bookstore, and the rewards were also distributed by Mysterious Bookstore, having nothing to do with Wantong Trading Market.

After finishing the business, the atmosphere in the room became awkward again, and silence fell.

Ma Feifei's eyes darted around, and she quietly activated her Power of Faith.

"Gulp~"

The sound was extremely loud in the room, Gongsun Qiong looked at Ma Feifei in surprise.

Ma Feifei scratched his head and said sheepishly, "I haven't eaten all day..."

"Pfft..." Gongsun Qiong couldn't help but laugh out loud again when she saw Ma Feifei's expression.

Perhaps it was Gongsun Qiong's laughter that hurt Ma Feifei's pride, causing him to stand up and say with a displeased look, "You're laughing so happily, do you not want to be fed?"

"Huh? Meals are provided." Gongsun Qiong was amused by Ma Feifei's appearance. She put one hand on the table to hide her face and covered her waist with the other, twitching every now and then.

Ma Feifei pursed his lips, letting Gongsun Qiong laugh as she pleased, while he shouted outside, "Did you hear that, you people outside? Hurry up and prepare dinner to entertain this shop owner!"

"Hey, all set!" Zhao Xiaodao's excited voice came from outside.

"Remember, the owner isn't feeling well today, so don't order anything greasy," Ma Feifei continued to shout.

"I understand..." Zhao Xiaodao's voice was already quite far away.

Listening to Zhao Xiaodao's departing voice, Ma Feifei felt a surge of joy. Tonight, she finally wouldn't have to eat her own disastrous cooking...

Turning her head, she saw that Gongsun Qiong had recovered and was staring at Ma Feifei with her beautiful eyes, which were full of wisdom and were shining brightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing Ma Feifei turn around, Gongsun Qiong hurriedly lowered her head and smoothed the stray strands of hair on her forehead.

"We've finalized another collaboration today, so how about I take this opportunity to celebrate by treating President Gongsun to a simple meal?" Ma Feifei said with a grin, looking at Gongsun Qiong.

"Alright!" Gongsun Qiong nodded gently.

"Please do, President Gongsun..."

Then, the two went out together.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Ma Feifei never asked Gongsun Qiong why she had locked herself in her room, and Gongsun Qiong never brought it up herself.

But Gongsun Qiong's mood improved, and her gloom disappeared, replaced by a faint smile.

During dinner, thanks to Ma Feifei's deliberate efforts to create a pleasant atmosphere, smiles were constant.

For the first time ever, she ate two bowls of porridge...

As for Ma Feifei, he went to extremes, stuffing himself with delicious food until his stomach was about to burst before he was satisfied.

Finally, with Yun Qingyang's help, he had no choice but to return to the Bookstore.
