Cute Painting Master Techniques

The second person to open the treasure chest was Chang Kong. The book he opened was not of Yellow Quality, but only of Blue Quality. Obviously, this reward is related to the length of time an employee has been with the company and their contribution value. Chang Kong joined the Mysterious Bookstore relatively late, so the system only gave him one Blue Quality book.

However, Blue Quality books do not have Book Spirit or worlds within them, so the situation Zhang Yunji experienced earlier will not occur. Nevertheless, Chang Kong did not show any regret, but gladly accepted the reward, after all, he had not been with the Mysterious Bookstore for long and had not made any significant contributions.

Next up are Zhang Caicai, Ba Jiu, Sky-reaching Ape Monkey. The books they received were all of Blue Quality, which is probably related to how long they have been with the Mysterious Bookstore.

Ma Feifei was also a little surprised that Zhang Caicai also received a Blue Quality book. After all, Zhang Caicai had been with the Mysterious Bookstore for the shortest time, less than a month. Logically, it wouldn't be unreasonable to give him a white book. Since the system gave him Blue Quality book, he guessed that the reward for Blue Quality books should be the lowest in the system settings.

Next up to open the treasure chest was Luan Feng. Like Zhang Yunji, Luan Feng also obtained a Yellow Quality book called "Taibai Yin Jing". This book is also a military treatise, but unlike "The Art of War", it is a Taoism work, and its content is quite different from that of general works on strategy and tactics.

The Comprehensive Institutions records that "military strategy" is based on two major works: Li Jing's "The Art of War" and the "Taibai Yin Jing". This shows that they were highly regarded by the world.

However, the book did not directly transform into Book Spirit and enter the Luan Feng's body, which puzzled Ma Feifei, so he entered his mind to inquire with the system.

"Book Spirit of books of the same quality cannot be awakened by the same person."

This is the system's explanation, meaning that the Book Spirit of books of the same quality cannot coexist within one person. For example, Luan Feng had already obtained the Book Spirit of the Yellow Quality book "The Art of War," so the Book Spirit of the Yellow Quality book "Taibai Yin Jing" cannot be absorbed by Luan Feng now.

However, this does not affect the benefits that Luan Feng gains from comprehending the "Taibai Yin Jing".

Then, we arrived at Yun Qingyang.

"Whoosh~"

With a wave of her hand, Yun Qingyang sent the treasure chest into her spatial ring, leaving Ma Feifei and the people around her stunned.

"Qingyang, aren't you going to open it and take a look?" Ma Feifei couldn't help but ask. To be honest, Ma Feifei really wanted to know what kind of book the system would give Yun Qingyang, the first employee of the Mysterious Bookstore who had been with him from the very beginning. But Yun Qingyang simply put it into his ring without even looking at it.

"No interest." Yun Qingyang shook her head. She wasn't particularly interested in books to begin with, and these books wouldn't help her reach the Immortal Realm anyway, so reading them would be useless.

"Let's take a look, Sister Qingyang," Zhang Caicai asked expectantly from the side.

Yun Qingyang glanced at Zhang Caicai and said, "Pay back the money."

"..."

Zhang Caicai silently hid to the side to wipe away her tears. Ma Feifei felt very sorry for her. "Why did you have to borrow money from Yun Qingyang? If she loses money, you'll be in trouble. If you lose money, you'll have to swallow your pride and suffer in silence. It's so painful!"

The mention of money suddenly reminded Ma Feifei of something.

"Qingyang, take a look at it. If you don't like it, you can sell it to me, how about that?" Since Yun Qingyang doesn't like books anyway, if the book is of high quality, then Ma Feifei could buy it and put it on the bookshelf to generate more profit, wouldn't that be better?

When Yun Qingyang heard that Ma Feifei wanted to spend money to buy the books in her treasure chest, her eyes lit up. She stretched out her hand, and with a flash of light, the treasure chest appeared in her hand.

"Smack~"

Yun Qingyang pulled open the buckle with one hand.

"Ding ding ding~~"

A golden light burst forth, and a book enveloped in golden light slowly rose from the treasure chest, drawing everyone's attention.

Golden light floated in the air, and inside the golden light, a book with a black cover lay there.

"Epic-grade quality!" everyone exclaimed.

Ma Feifei was also somewhat surprised. As expected, as the Bookstore's first employee, the system gave Yun Qingyang a higher reward than others.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, without warning, the book burned!

"No!" Yun Qingyang was the first to speak. She was terrified when she saw the book burning. She pouted and blew on it desperately, trying to put out the fire.

However, this was clearly a futile effort.

"Whoosh!"

Yun Qingyang produced a basin of water from somewhere and immediately splashed it over.

"Hiss hiss hiss~~"

The water was so close to the burning books that it was instantly vaporized by the high temperature and destroyed!

"Click click click~~"

The surrounding temperature plummeted, freezing into ice. Yun Qingyang stood up and stood at the same level as the books, stretching out his hands.

"Click-clack~~"

Ice instantly condensed in the air and rushed towards the burning books.

Without exception, even Yun Qingyang was unable to get the ice near the burning books.

"Ma Feifei, please help me..." Yun Qingyang appeared beside Ma Feifei in a flash, grabbing his arm and pleading anxiously, her face contorted with distress. An Epic-grade- quality book—how much was that worth! To burn it like that, how could she not be heartbroken!

"There's nothing I can do about this!" Ma Feifei was also a little speechless. He had planned everything, but he forgot that Yun Qingyang had never obtained Book Spirit. According to Zhang Yunji's situation just now, it was normal for this book to have this phenomenon. This was a reward for employees. Unless the employee had previously absorbed the Book Spirit of a book of the same quality, they would have to receive the blessing from the Book Spirit.

"Boom~"

"Ding ding ding~"

At this moment, the book finally Burn Up out, and several small, golden characters appeared in the sky.

Ma Feifei's eyelids twitched involuntarily as he looked at those words.

"Cute Painting Master Techniques"

"???"

It's actually a book to improve drawing skills!

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time a skill book has appeared, right?" Ma Feifei thought to himself as he looked at the few golden characters floating in the air.

He had previously received Painting Master Techniques from the system, but those techniques were directly implanted into his mind by the system and were not given to him in the form of a book. Therefore, this should be the first skill book published by the Mysterious Bookstore.

"But what does 'cute' mean?" Ma Feifei didn't quite understand why "cute" was added before "drawing technique." How was it different from the drawing techniques he was currently learning?

"Whoosh~~"

Lost in thought, the few golden characters in regular script flew directly towards Yun Qingyang.

"Get out of the way!"

Enraged, Yun Qingyang dodged the golden characters flying towards her, clearly disliking them.

But since it was a reward given by the system, and it had already burned into characters, how could it not deliver the reward? So these golden characters seemed to have sentience, and they turned a corner and chased after Yun Qingyang again.

As Yun Qingyang dodged, they chased after her, their speed increasing until Yun Qingyang, despite using all her cultivation, could not resist and was eventually caught up by them.

At this point, all seven employees had received the Present from the anniversary celebration system, and everyone except Yun Qingyang was completely satisfied.

In the end, all that was left was Ma Feifei's treasure chest, the one with Mythic-grade quality.

"Alright, let's call it a day." Ma Feifei waved to signal the end of the event, then turned and went inside to open his treasure chest.

Mythic-grade!

I can't wait!
