A Bunch of Scheming Bitches

The first day of "Walking Books" at the Mysterious Bookstore has come to an end. Apart from Qin Shi Huang and Crown Prince Yan, the other thirty-four people have turned their experiences into books, which are available for customers who wish to read.

The prices set varied, with the highest being 300,000 Qianmu Shuiling, and the lowest being only 30,000 Spirit Crystal for renting a book to Zuo Duanshou, the Qi State's Number One Villain.

Reading a book only takes about two hours, and one person can rent out books four times a day. Taking Qianmu Shuiling as an example, she can bring Ma Feifei an income of 1.2 million Spirit Crystal a day.

With over thirty people involved, their daily income from Spirit Crystal exceeded ten million, making Ma Feifei grin from ear to ear after learning this news.

Therefore, Ma Feifei specially discussed with Zhou Zhuling the matter of allocating several mansions that had changed hands several times and were then taken back by Wantong Trading Market to the thirty-six people to live in, and arranged for top-class maids and stewards to serve them.

In the end, the Wantong Trading Market offered a total of six mansions, each housing six people, totaling thirty-six.

Of course, to prevent uncontrollable factors from occurring, Ma Feifei required the Wantong Trading Market to send people to keep a close watch at all times so that any incidents could be detected and dealt with promptly.

In addition, although the turnover on the first day was relatively high, the customers' profits were pitifully small. More than a hundred people read the books throughout the day, but not a single practitioner gained any benefit from them.

While talent plays a role, it's somewhat unreasonable that over a hundred people didn't gain any benefit from it.

Therefore, after dinner, Ma Feifei would lie in a rocking chair and randomly pick a few books to read.

Upon closer inspection, some problems became apparent.

"These people are very cunning!" Ma Feifei casually tossed aside the book in her hand, and went through several other books to read, only to find that no matter which one she read, the content was all irrelevant.

For example, in a certain year, you traveled to a certain place and encountered some interesting things.

For example, someone might go to a certain place to learn a skill, go through countless hardships, but ultimately fail to find the place, wander around for a while, and then come back.

For example, he recounts how he was once full of vigor, single-handedly fighting dozens of people and finally returning in triumph. Hmm, this is about his romantic escapades in brothels.

God's fucking claim of one person fighting dozens of people? Are you kidding me?

Of course, this is not the most bizarre thing. The most bizarre thing is that Qiu Yunzi, the Supreme Elder of the Shangqing Sect, gave a story about his relationship with a girl named Qingqing before he was twenty years old.

Yes, childhood sweethearts, how enviable.

But what's the use of envy? Will reading this kind of book help you find a wife?

What frustrated Ma Feifei the most was that quite a few people were reading this book. Qiu Yunzi had priced it at 50,000 Spirit Crystal, and it was read four times a day, meaning that eight hours of reading time were not wasted. The book was constantly being rented out.

"No, if this continues, everyone will realize they're not making any money in a couple of days, and we'll be doomed. We need to think of something." Ma Feifei realized this problem after glancing at a few books.

The past stories of these important figures are undeniably intriguing and captivating, but for practitioners, the most important thing is to gain something from them, especially given the exorbitant fees involved.

While these books may seem interesting to the thirty-six people, they ultimately fail to provide any real insight or benefit. When the Harvest are disproportionate to the efforts, it inevitably dampens everyone's enthusiasm for reading.

Fortunately, each person has only produced one book so far, otherwise this would be a real problem.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei called out to the kitchen, "Ba Jiu, come here for a second."

Recently, Ba Jiu has become obsessed with food, and spends his free time learning cooking skills from Zhang Caicai every day.

Because Zhang Caicai was teaching Mu Qingyi, she had no objection to Ba Jiu also learning cooking. After all, teaching one person was the same as teaching two, and teaching one more person would give her an extra person to do chores, making her life easier.

So basically, aside from cooking every day, Zhang Caicai only needs to lie in a chair and slowly direct Ba Jiu and Mu Qingyi, living a more carefree life than Ma Feifei.

"Hey! Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" Upon hearing Ma Feifei's call, Ba Jiu immediately ran out of the kitchen, came to Ma Feifei's side, and asked.

"Go to where Qin Shi Huang and the others are staying and pass on a message for me: the first book is fine, but if the second book is the same, the contract period will be extended by another six months." Ma Feifei was too lazy to go to them personally; these important figures were all shrewd, and some things were best False Swipe.

Ba Jiu clearly didn't understand and looked at Ma Feifei with a blank expression.

"You don't need to understand, just pass on the message verbatim." Ma Feifei sighed. He felt that the IQs of the employees at the Mysterious Bookstore were getting lower and lower, and he didn't know why.

"Okay, shopkeeper." Ba Jiu and ran straight to the back door to deliver a message to Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei watched as Ba Jiu's figure disappeared before turning his gaze away. He glanced at the kitchen, where Zhang Caicai was still teaching Mu Qingyi how to cook, looking every bit the boss.

"The number of Book-holding woman should be about right now, right?" Ma Feifei stared at Mu Qingyi's retreating figure, lost in thought.

There need to be nine Book-holding woman. According to his previous calculations, if he included Yun Qingyang, Gongsun Qiong, Zhou Zhuling, Liu Ying, and Zhao Xiaodao, then there would be five.

Then there's Lian Yi, who was found later, and Mu Qingyi, making the total number seven.

We are two places away from nine.

"Where can I find the other two?" Ma Feifei pondered, stroking his chin. The Book-holding woman's quest was nearing its end, and Ma Feifei hoped to complete it quickly and claim the reward.

"What about that Azi? If we can bring her here, we'll have eight Book-holding woman." Suddenly, Ma Feifei thought of Qi State Azi of Qi, with whom he had shared a journey through the world of books—a girl who seemed fierce but was kind at heart.

"I wonder where she is now." Ma Feifei frowned and looked up at the sky. The technology in this world is too backward. If you want to find someone, you have to travel Norman to inquire. Unlike his world, where you can contact someone immediately with just a phone call.

"Knock knock knock~~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the back door.

"Is the shop owner home?" a clear voice rang out.

Ma Feifei frowned and muttered to himself, "No way? Speak of the devil and he appears?"
