Leaving Everyone in the Dust

The peaches in the Peach Garden can increase Ma Feifei's points, so naturally they can also increase Azi's points. Azi's sudden pause clearly indicates that she heard the system's notification.

Ma Feifei didn't have any other thoughts about Azi knowing that Peach of Immortality could increase points. The problem was that once Azi knew how Peach of Immortality could increase points, she definitely wouldn't leave the Peach Garden. As long as Azi didn't leave the Peach Garden, Ma Feifei wouldn't be able to freely pick Peach of Immortality to gain points.

"Sigh! I really should have slapped her away back then, I regret it so much." Ma Feifei leaned against the tree, looking at the excited Azi, and sighed.

The Peach of Immortality in Azi's hand had disappeared, clearly having been exchanged for points.

"Shopkeeper, come out quickly! Azi has discovered a secret to increase points!" Azi picked a few Peach of Immortality, then suddenly stopped and whispered to her surroundings.

"Hmm?" Azi's words surprised Ma Feifei a bit. Did this girl really not intend to capture him?

Just then, Azi spoke up again, "Shopkeeper, come out quickly! I really won't arrest you. I can get your few points by picking a few Peach of Immortality."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feifei thought that what Azi said made a lot of sense; there were countless Peach of Immortality in the Peach Garden, Azi could easily surpass his points just by picking Peach of Immortality, so there was no need for her to go to so much trouble to catch him.

Moreover, Ma Feifei felt that he couldn't keep wasting time with Azi. Time flew by, and eight days would pass in the blink of an eye. If he didn't hurry, the artifact would be gone.

This is the first time Ma Feifei has ever received a reward from the world of the book; it's her first time ever.

With that thought in mind, Ma Feifei no longer hesitated and jumped down from the Peach Tree.

"Hehe, shopkeeper, you really are in here." Azi saw Ma Feifei jump down from the tree and pointed at Ma Feifei, laughing.

Ma Feifei said irritably, "You're so clever! But now that you know you can get points from the Peach of Immortality, you can't arrest me anymore. How about we work together and empty out the Peach Garden?"

"Okay, okay!" Azi nodded vigorously and replied happily.

She was addressed as "Young Miss" by the thousands of unruly people of Mangcang Town, so she was naturally not one to hesitate. As long as she could gain points, why would she care whose Peach Garden it was?

Ma Feifei nodded and said, "Then it's settled. We'll each pick our own peaches until the mission ends."

"Hmm!" Azi stretched out her hand, pointing her palm at Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei was taken aback and asked, "What?"

Azi said in a very serious tone, "Let's make a pact with a high five!"

Ma Feifei then understood what Azi meant, and subconsciously reached out his hand, but immediately withdrew it, saying, "Let's skip the high-five, let's hurry up and pick the peaches."

Without waiting for Azi's reply, he leaped up a Peach Tree and began frantically picking Peach of Immortality.

Seeing Ma Feifei start picking Peach of Immortality, Azi didn't care about anything else and jumped to another Peach Tree to pick Peach of Immortality.

In no time, their scores soared.

In less than half an hour, Ma Feifei's score reached 3,000 points, while Azi's score reached 1,700 points.

"This is practically cheating!" The cultivators outside the Bookstore stared in disbelief at the projection of Ma Feifei and Azi picking Peach of Immortality and the rapidly increasing points displayed in the narration.

Compared to them, Liu Changsheng, who is ranked third, only has a little over 200 points. As for those ranked below, they are in an even worse situation, all with just over 100 points. Obviously, they did not exchange for any valuable items, and some did not exchange for anything at all.

"What kind of rewards do you think they'll get if they keep going at this rate?" a middle-aged cultivator stammered.

"A ninth-tier spiritual weapon, I suppose..." another cultivator replied, though he himself found it hard to believe his own words.

Actually, everyone had a vague idea in their minds: if they really kept picking them like this, according to the settlement rules the shop owner had mentioned before, there was a real possibility that a magical artifact might appear!

To date, a total of nine divine artifacts have been identified. Among them, five are national treasures of their respective kingdoms.

Divine artifacts are something that most cultivators can only dream of, and are practically the same as becoming an immortal.

But seeing the scene before them, they actually had the idea that a divine artifact was about to appear; they were truly insane.

It can only be said that Mysterious Bookstore has brought so many surprises to everyone; things that we never dared to imagine before, and things that we thought were impossible, have gradually come true in front of Mysterious Bookstore.

It seems... the Mysterious Bookstore can do anything!

"Look, it looks like someone's coming." Suddenly, a cultivator pointed at the projection.

At this moment, the projection's perspective has shifted to the entrance of Peach Garden, where a boy and a girl are carrying baskets as they enter.

They were the Golden Boy and Jade Girl responsible for guarding Peach Garden.

"Jade Girl, are you aware that a group of visitors from beyond the heavens have arrived at our Heavenly Court today?" The Golden Boy asked, walking beside the Jade Girl and gazing at the Peach Tree on either side.

The Jade Girl nodded gently and said, "Of course I know, but those visitors from outer space weren't very friendly. One of them even went to Fairy Chang'e's Moon Guanghan Palace and cut down the Osmanthus Tree. I heard he's wanted by the Heavenly Court now."

Golden Boy shook his head, somewhat disagreeing, and said, "Jade Girl, your words are a bit extreme. That was just one person's action and cannot represent all extraterrestrial visitors. Most extraterrestrial visitors are quite friendly."

At this point, Golden Boy Tongcong took out a bag of snacks from his pocket and said, "Look, Jade Girl, this is something I traded with a visitor from outer space. I heard it's a very rare food there, and only someone as noble as Your Majesty can enjoy it."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Girl immediately became interested and asked curiously, "Really? What did you offer in exchange?"

Golden Boy chuckled and whispered, "I traded it for a peach pit. The visitors were so happy when I left."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Girl frowned and said, "Golden Boy, aren't you deceiving the visitors from outer space? This is wrong."

The Golden Boy, scolded by the Jade Girl, smiled awkwardly and said, "The Jade Girl is right. If I see him again, I'll give him some Present to make up for it."

The Jade Girl nodded in satisfaction.

"Here, Jade Girl, try this food." Golden Boy handed the snack bag to Jade Girl.

The Jade Girl didn't stand on ceremony, taking the snack bag and asking as she opened it, "What's the name of this food?"

Golden Boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I heard him say it was called something like roast chicken, but the first part of the name was too long to remember, anyway, it sounded really imposing."

The Jade Girl nodded, tore off a chicken leg, and handed it to the Golden Boy, saying, "Here you go!"

"Hey!" Golden Boy happily accepted the chicken leg, and the two of them walked along, eating roast chicken they had never tried before, praising its deliciousness from time to time.

Hidden in the Peach Tree, Ma Feifei watched the Golden Boy and Jade Girl's retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Young man, you're still too young."

However, Ma Feifei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but complain, "What kind of people did I bring in? How come they're all so cunning? They can even exchange a ten-coin roast chicken for a Peach of Immortality pit!"

"Shopkeeper~" Azi called out to Ma Feifei from Peach Tree.

"What?" Ma Feifei looked at him in confusion.

"What do we do now?" Azi asked excitedly, standing on the tree trunk.

"Wait a moment, they're probably just coming in to pick peaches, they'll leave when they're done," Ma Feifei gestured to Azi to be patient.

It's best to speak as little as possible at this time to avoid being overheard by the Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

Upon hearing this, Azi could only calm her excitement and quietly wait for the Golden Boy and Jade Girl to leave.

"Huh? Why are there only a few Peach of Immortality left on this tree?" Suddenly, the Jade Girl's puzzled voice came from not far away.

Ma Feifei felt a sudden panic and looked through the leaves in their direction.

"I didn't pick any from that tree, how could there be only a few left?" Ma Feifei wondered.

Ma Feifei has a method to picking Peach of Immortality. She won't pick all the Peach of Immortality from one tree at once. When she feels she's picked enough, she'll move on to another tree. This way, she can prevent too many Peach of Immortality from being picked from one tree and thus avoid attracting attention.

Subconsciously, Ma Feifei turned to look at Azi.

Azi had naturally heard what the Jade Girl had said. When she saw Ma Feifei looking at her, she stuck out her tongue shyly.

Ma Feifei was speechless; this girl was incredibly stupid.

"Many of the Peach of Immortality on this tree have also disappeared!" At this moment, Golden Boy's voice came, his tone solemn.

"This tree too!"

"This place too..."

Slowly, the sound accompanied the figure, approaching step by step the tree where Azi was.

"It's over!"
