Reading Comes with Risks, So Everyone Should Take Care

When Qin Shi Huang, King Qi Wen, King Zhao Kang, Crown Prince Yan, and Yan Xun walked out of the Bookstore, everyone was so shocked that they couldn't utter a single word.

The four missing kings all reappeared at the same time in Dubian Town, at the Mysterious Bookstore!

"It's actually the kings of four kingdoms!"

"And these important figures who went missing recently."

"Could it be that the kidnapping incidents that happened on the mainland recently were orchestrated by Mysterious Bookstore?"

"Yes, only Mysterious Bookstore could do that."

After the initial shock, the onlookers regained their composure. If one connected all of this with the Mysterious Bookstore, it would indeed leave no room for suspicion.

Why did the Mysterious Bookstore kidnap these important figures? And why did they even kidnap the kings of four kingdoms in the end?

The thirty-six tables set up in front of the Mysterious Bookstore were already full of people, and the onlookers were truly terrified at the sight.

These thirty-six people, when gathered together, control 80% of the power and 60% of the wealth of the Azure Dragon Continent. Together, they are basically capable of unifying the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

Those who were supposed to go in have gone in.

Those who were supposed to come out have come out.

Zhang Yunji crushed today's ticket into powder and threw it into a nearby trash can. Only then did he straighten his clothes and look at the cultivators who were gathered around the Bookstore on the long street.

"I'm sure everyone is curious as to why these famous figures from the mainland would appear in the Mysterious Bookstore, right?"

Everyone nodded quickly, but wisely refrained from making a sound to disturb them.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yunji nodded slightly, smiled, and said, "First of all, I must clarify one point: our Mysterious Bookstore did not kidnap these people. They all came to cooperate with our Mysterious Bookstore voluntarily. I hope everyone understands this. If you don't believe me, you can always ask them to verify."

Upon hearing Zhang Yunji's words, the thirty-six people sitting on either side couldn't help but smirk. The Qi State's Number One Villain, almost stood up Zuo Duanshou on the table, but fortunately, he managed to control his emotions and held back.

However, this action was still seen by the surrounding cultivators. In fact, they were not stupid and did not believe what Zhang Yunji said. For no other reason than that, taking the war between Qin and Yan as an example, the war was raging on the other side, and it was a matter of life and death for the two countries. How could the kings of the two countries inexplicably put down such important matters and run to the Mysterious Bookstore!

How profound is this insight?

Let's just consider Zhang Yunji's words as a fig leaf.

In truth, Zhang Yunji knew that these words would not convince everyone, but what could he do? The shopkeeper had entrusted him with this task, so he could only obediently do as he was told, right?

According to the shop owner, the Mysterious Bookstore must present itself to the world as a bright, noble, and righteous Bookstore, and would never engage in forced sales.

"Furthermore, the main reason these important figures come to Mysterious Bookstore because we have recently developed a new Human Book Reading Method that benefits our readers."

"Human Book Reading Method?" The group looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Zhang Yunji pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet. The rain was already heavy, and their Screech only made it worse. The important figures sitting on either side of the Bookstore entrance frowned, especially Qin Shi Huang, whose black greatsword was placed on the table, and an aura of killing intent emanated from him.

"Whoosh~"

The surroundings fell silent instantly. They glanced at Qin Shi Huang with fear, then obediently turned their heads away, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Yes, the Human Book Reading Method!" Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Zhang Yunji continued to explain, "You all see these thirty-six great figures, right? Don't you think their lives were incredibly remarkable? Don't you believe that they were able to reach where they are today because of countless opportunities and blessings?"

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I hope I can have the same opportunities as them?"

"If you've ever thought about this, then I can tell you with absolute certainty that your ideas are about to come true!" Zhang Yunji's voice was Captivate, and his tone was impassioned.

Everyone was stunned by Zhang Yunji's Captivate voice, staring at Zhang Yunji and trying to decipher the meaning behind Zhang Yunji words.

Indeed, Zhang Yunji's words were mostly nonsense, leaving everyone completely confused.

"Simply put, starting now, you can pay a fee to have the opportunity to read about the past of these thirty-six important figures, either in part or in their entirety. By reading their stories, you may have the chance to gain the same opportunities they once had."

"And from now on, you can call these people 'Walking Books,' because each of them represents a book."

After this, everyone understood the meaning of Zhang Yunji's previous words and the significance of the appearance of these thirty-six important figures. In fact, this was no different from the books in the Bookstore, except that this time the content of the books featured these thirty-six important figures as the main characters.

However, the opportunity to gain access to the same opportunities that these great figures had in their lifetimes is very Captivate for everyone.

In particular, according to what Zhang Yunji just said, reading about the past of these important figures does not require purchasing a special number; one can simply make a transaction with them directly.

It's much more convenient than going to the Wantong Trading Market to buy a dedicated number at a high price, and Zhang Yunji didn't mention the specific cost, right? Maybe the cost is very low?

Even if the cost is high, at least there's a guarantee. These thirty-six are all renowned figures on the Azure Dragon Continent, and they've had countless opportunities throughout their lives. If you were to read about their past, it would be worth at least one Yellow Quality book in Bookstore.

Compared to the pitifully small number of Yellow Quality books in the Mysterious Bookstore, at least there's some guarantee outside, right?

Seeing the smug looks on the group's faces and their slow, deliberate movement towards the thirty-six people, Zhang Yunji hesitated for a moment before kindly reminding them, "Um, reading books can be risky, so please be careful."

But who cares about Zhang Yunji's well-intentioned reminder now? Everyone finds their own target and moves towards this person.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunji sighed and finally said, "In that case, everyone, please do as you please. Just a reminder: the viewing fee is set by these important figures themselves. Their prices may be very high or very low. You have the right to choose not to watch or to find someone else to watch, but you must abide by the rules. Once the transaction begins, it cannot be reversed."

"As I said before, just a friendly reminder: reading carries risks, so please be cautious."

"Now, I hereby announce the official start of the three-month 'Walking Books' campaign!"
