Protagonist interpretation rules

Chapter 31 Satisfy my curiosity
Seeing a customer entering the store, the boy and the white cat stopped fighting each other.

Bai Yue straightened his hair, which was messed up by Bai Shu, and showed a business-like smile.

He briefly looked at the customers at the door and found that the girl was clearly shaken by the sudden rainstorm. She was hugging her shoulders and holding a very familiar Dongguo novel in her arms.

"Sure, please sit down."

Bai Yue pointed to the seat opposite the counter, then turned his head and greeted the white cat beside him: "Bai Shu, please make a pot of hot tea for the guest."

In Ning Cai Yingli's surprised eyes, she saw the fluffy lion cat meowing reluctantly, jumping off the counter, and melting into the transparent air in the blink of an eye.

Rustling sounds began to sound around.

The electric water boiler turned on the indicator light without anyone operating it, and the white teapot was automatically filled with cold water, and then jumped onto the table with a number of teacups.

"Wait a moment, the hot tea will be ready soon."

"thank you boss!"

The ponytail girl nodded gratefully, and Ning Caiying sat generously opposite the boy. She took off her rain-soaked sportswear, revealing a tight black vest.

Bai Yue noticed that the girl's arms, shoulders and neck were wrapped in layers of bandages. Although the skin was not visible, the tight muscle lines on her arms could still be seen.

Huh...he's still a practicing guy.

However, he noticed that when the girl was tugging at his sleeves, there was still a hint of pain in her eyes.

There was clearly a real injury underneath the bandage.

What a strange person... Bai Yue sighed inwardly.

Ning Caiying naturally noticed the other party's gaze, but the girl did not react. After all, she had long been accustomed to the enthusiastic and excited eyes of the crowd on the dragon-tiger death battle stage.

The environment in the bookstore was quite warm, and the girl quickly calmed down.

She turned around and looked around curiously. Ning Caiying found that although this small shop was antique, the shelves were filled with two-dimensional novels from Dongguo, which were simply out of tune with the surrounding environment.

The girl's eyes flashed with realization. She lowered her head and realized that the novel she picked up was exactly in line with the characteristics of the bookstore.

"Boss, this novel must have been left behind by your guest, right?"

She pushed the book toward the young bookstore owner: "I just picked it up from outside, and the plastic cover hasn't been removed yet."

Bai Yue noticed that under the protection of the girl, this book had not been touched by rain.

"Let me see... um... it is indeed our product, but you don't need to return it to me because the book has been sold,"

The young man waved his hand: "Since the buyer doesn't want it, it only means that our store has no connection with that buyer."

"That's good. That's good."

The girl immediately hugged the book and said happily: "I just gave it to my sister. She quite likes this type of novel."

Bai Yue nodded, just as the water was boiling, he picked up the teapot, shook the tea bag inside, and poured a cup of hot tea for himself and his guests.

Ning Caiying was not polite. She held up the tea cup and sipped the tea in small sips. After a while, the girl let out a satisfied sigh.

The atmosphere in the bookstore became peaceful.

Bai Yue lazily leaned on the chair. The young man picked up the "Hunting Memory Manual" and started reading it by himself.

According to the rules of this world, this work that has been baptized by depth and inspiration naturally has 'settings' that can be extracted.

However, due to the 'Key of Memory', Bai Yue, who has shared the body with Leonard's leader, naturally knows what the settings in the work are.

As the name suggests, the only setting in "Hunting Memory Manual" is the 'hunting skills' mastered by the protagonist Leonard Adam.

That is what the hunter has learned all his life, and it is the skill he has gained after experiencing life and death bloody battles time and time again.

I have to say that this deep trip was indeed fruitful.

However, there are too many possibilities in the deep world of the "Nightless Golden Kingdom". Just relying on one work is far from enough to interpret the tragic epic of people's struggle against ghost pollution.

Bai Yue naturally wanted to go there again.

First, Bai Yue was very interested in the chaotic timeline of the deep world, and the boy wanted to dig deeper into the work. Second, he also made a promise to the local residents, and Bai Yue did not want to break the contract easily.While the paper was being flipped, the white cat jumped out from nowhere. It rested on the boy's shoulder, and its blue eyes examined the works that his family had brought out from the depths.

Bai Shu made a satisfied meow.

But just when Bai Yue closed the book and was about to put it away, he noticed that the ponytail girl opposite was holding the counter and turning it over quietly.

The girl's movements were quite light, and she didn't make the slightest sound.

It's a pity that her actions were full of loopholes in the hunter's perception. The moment the girl started to move, Bai Yue raised his head.

The two looked at each other.

Ning Caiying:......

Bai Yue: ...

What the hell, are all the customers’ behavior so strange nowadays?Bai Yue frowned slightly.

Ning Caiying also showed surprise. She did not expect that the young boss in front of her, who was thin and seemed to have no actual combat experience, could be so keen.

However, the surprise in the girl's eyes was soon completely replaced by another surging emotion. Bai Yue saw that pretty face and instantly came closer. Ning Caiying's eyes showed deep desire.

"Boss, boss, are you selling this storybook?"

The girl pointed at the work in Bai Yue's hand and asked. She tried hard to calm down her tone so as not to miss the treasure in front of her.

As a low-level ring fighter who signed a contract with Longhu Taisui Company, she knows better than anyone else what this in-depth work containing fighting skills means.

——Putting it on any market in the world, this kind of setting work that can directly enhance personal strength will become a valuable thing that major companies compete for.

Ning Caiying only felt absurd.

Encountering this kind of thing in an ordinary poor small bookstore in the low-resourced Lower City area is simply a trap...

At this moment, looking at the other party's expression, Bai Yue just smiled.

"This guest, if you ask me this question with the idea of ​​​​picking up leaks, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

He reminded: “As a store owner, I naturally know the actual value of every piece of work in the store.”

The white cat on the boy's shoulder also purred, as if mocking the girl's overestimation.

Hearing this, Ning Caiying was silent for a moment.

The girl sat back down in frustration, lowered her head, and showed a disappointed look.

"Yeah...how can a low-level performance thug like me, a city dweller, afford the 'set' price..."

Ning Caiying murmured and smiled bitterly. She clenched her fists unconsciously, and blood gradually seeped out of the bandage on the girl's fingertips. But even in the heart-wrenching pain, Ning Caiying still couldn't help feeling depressed.

After all, I am still a little whimsical.

"Thank you for the hot tea, boss."

The girl put the damp sportswear on her shoulders, and carefully picked up the Dongguo novel, preparing to escape from this embarrassing environment in the rain.

But when she walked to the door, Bai Yue's gentle voice came from behind the girl again.

"Actually, you don't have a chance to get this work."

Ning Caiying turned around in shock and found that the young man was looking at her with a smile.

He said softly: "You only need to satisfy my simple condition."

"What conditions?" the girl asked subconsciously.

"Satisfy my curiosity."

Bai Yue replied immediately.

The young man's dark eyes almost shone with a sickly light: "You just need to do your best to satisfy my curiosity."
