Book Garden (2/5)

"Ding~! The location of the Book Garden has been successfully selected." As the system's confirmation sound rang out, Ma Feifei felt that the Pokémon Arena on the map was suddenly surrounded by a thick white fog. Then, white fluorescent light continuously shot out from the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods floating in the air.

In an instant, all 91,520 dead beings Investiture of the Gods on the Investiture of the Gods vanished.

"Huh? There's another one?" Ma Feifei took the Investiture of the Gods and found that there was another person on the scroll, which was quite strange.

"Human Butcher, the Qin Shuren!" Ma Feifei glanced at him and then remembered this guy. He should be the only living being on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods who did not die, so he was not signed Master-Servant Contract and was placed in the Book Garden.

"System, can I let him in too?" Ma Feifei asked the system. It would be even better if the Human Butcher Qin Shuren could also be allowed into the Book Garden.

"The system has detected that this person has certain potential; the host may recruit him as a page." The system offered a suggestion.

"What is the purpose of a pageboy?" Ma Feifei asked curiously. He had heard about this before at Wan Jianshan, where Zhang Ke and his group had professions like pageboys and Book Slave.

"Bookboy: A second-class servant of the author, responsible for managing the author's 'Book Garden' (Note: 'Tree Garden,' 'Ink Garden,' 'Spirit Garden,' etc. can be built in the Book Garden), and can manage the next-lower-class first-class miscellaneous book servants." The system provided the explanation again.

"Oh! I understand, it's like being in charge, right?" Ma Feifei nodded in realization. According to the system's explanation, the 91,520 dead beings should become the lowest-ranking errand servants. They will be responsible for all the daily tasks in the Book Garden. Then, the second-rank servants, or page boys, will be in charge, managing these errand servants and making them work diligently.

"Do you want to sign Master-Servant Contract with this being?" The system did not answer Ma Feifei's question, but continued to ask.

"Of course, sign the contract!" Ma Feifei said firmly. The meaning of Master-Servant Contract was obvious without even asking. Once the contract was signed, the lives of these people would be in his hands; anyone who disobeyed could be crushed!

"Ding~ Contract signed successfully. The host has successfully acquired a pageboy. Would you like to send him to manage the Book Garden?" The system notification sounded again.

"Send it!" Ma Feifei responded, then ignored the system and directly grabbed the Investiture of the Gods and ran outside. He wanted to see what his newly created Book Garden looked like.

Outside the Zhenbei, a vast expanse of white light shot towards the Pokémon competition arena twenty miles away, leaving the cultivators on the road quite bewildered.

However, because the Mysterious Bookstore had caused so many strange events, the cultivators living in Dubian Town had developed a certain immunity to it. Although they were still stunned, they were no longer shocked.

"I wonder what new things will appear this time," a cultivator sighed.

"Don't worry, as usual, we'll know in a few days," said a cultivator who patted the little sprite in his arms.

"But then again, that arena hasn't been open for a long time since the Pokémon tournament. Does this sudden change mean the second Pokémon Competition is about to begin?" another cultivator said with anticipation. Raichu is already at the peak of level six, but it still can't break through to level seven. According to the previous evolution theory, this level should also require Advancement Pill.

"Who knows? Anyway, I totally ripped off buying this Pokémon. I'm such an idiot." A young cultivator looked at the Psyduck next to him and couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh?" Psyduck scratched its head, looking at its owner with a bewildered expression.

"Get lost!" The owner got angrier and angrier and couldn't help but slap Psyduck.

"Ugh..."

"Brother, Psyduck is really powerful, take your time raising it!" Ma Feifei, who was passing by, saw Psyduck's owner scolding it and couldn't help but remind him.

"Huh? Shopkeeper!" The young cultivator was extremely nervous when he saw Ma Feifei actually speaking to him. He quickly composed himself and was about to explain when he discovered that Ma Feifei had already disappeared.

"Shopkeeper, I'm Bookstore most loyal reader! Although I've never been inside to look at the books, don't worry, I'll always support you!"

"Pfft!" Ma Feifei was almost at the Pokémon Arena, almost coughed up blood when he heard the voice behind him. If he didn't have time to deal with this person now, he would definitely go back and kill him.

That's outrageous! If you said you went in and read the books and supported Mysterious Bookstore, Ma Feifei would feel a little better. But this guy said he hadn't even read them? Isn't that just irritating?

"I'm the shop owner, I can't stoop to his level." Ma Feifei calmed himself down and realized he had arrived at the Pokémon Arena. Looking up at the Pokémon Arena, which was completely shrouded in mist, Ma Feifei frowned.

Is this under construction, or is this how it's supposed to look?

The system didn't provide an answer.

After thinking it over, Ma Feifei decided to investigate on his own and stepped into the clouds.

After walking less than five meters, Ma Feifei's vision suddenly opened up, revealing a vast expanse of desolate land, stretching as far as the eye could see and without end.

Oh, and there's a sea of white people in front of me.

"Master!" More than 90,000 people knelt down in unison, their shouts as loud as a mountain collapsing.

"Wow!" Ma Feifei was startled. Being made to kneel by so many people all of a sudden was quite unsettling. She quickly reached out to help them up and said, "Everyone, please get up."

"Thank you, Master." More than 90,000 people thanked him again in unison before slowly standing up.

"Scholar Qin Shuren greets his master!" This time, Qin Shuren, who was standing at the front, came to Ma Feifei's side and said with his hands clasped.

Ma Feifei looked at Qin Shuren and asked, "Do you know me?"

Qin Shuren nodded and said, "Of course I know you, you are the master."

"So what did you do before?" Ma Feifei thought for a moment. Qin Shuren had never met him before and probably didn't know that he was the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, so asking that question was pointless. He simply changed the subject.

Qin Shuren hesitated for a moment, then said, "I was formerly a general of the Qin State."

"And what about you? Do you still remember what you used to do?" Ma Feifei asked the more than 90,000 servants and clerks.

"Yes, Master!" the more than 90,000 servants and clerks replied in unison.

Ma Feifei nodded without speaking. Since Qin Shuren still remembered the past, it proved that these people still possessed their past memories and had not lost them despite becoming pageboys or servants.
