Translator: 549690339

Skill Effect: Activate an additional mission prompt for the current mission. The accuracy and cooldown time of the prompt are determined by the proficiency of the detective profession.

(There is only one truth!)

Ding! You have found a new target through a series of deductions and analysis.

Additional hint: Investigate the light novel stall ahead.

“Ah… This?” Bi Weirong looked at the dialog box that appeared in front of her. It showed the old man, the subway, and the phone.

Investigate… Light novel stall?

What did this have to do with her current mission objective?

However, a faint pale yellow line started from under Bi Wei Rong’s feet and then very considerately pointed to a place not far ahead. This was the ability of a ” detective.”

There was a very ordinary stall selling all kinds of books.

The only attractive thing was that there was a painted signboard next to it that seemed to be a character from a novel, which would occasionally attract the attention of passersby.

No matter how strange it was, since the Detective class had given such a hint, Bi Wei Rong immediately set off to investigate.

As soon as she approached, the peddler from the light novel stall immediately greeted her warmly.

“Miss! Are you here to buy light novels? Let me introduce you to a few new movies that have been released recently. They are especially popular now…”

Unfortunately, before the peddler could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Bi Weirong.

“No need, I want to see that book.”Bi Weirong’s target was very clear. She pointed at a small stack of books at the innermost corner of the stall.

” Journey to the Thousand Islands from Zero ”

“Ah?” The peddler looked at it and was surprised.

“Is there a problem?”

“No, no, no, but… May I ask if you’re here specifically for this book? Are you a fan of it?”

The hawker’s question made Bi Wei Rong frown.

She had indeed come specifically for this light novel, but she wasn’t a fan reader. It was only because her Detective ability had guided her to the stall and marked the light novel with a special faint fluorescent light.

“Not really. I just think that the name of this novel is quite interesting and novel. Was there anything special about this novel?”

After Bi Wei Rong denied it, she started to question the peddler. The peddler revealed an expression of understanding and started to explain to Bi Wei Rong,

“Miss, you might not know this, but this ‘Journey to the Thousand Islands from Zero’ is the worst selling light novel in my batch. I even planned to take it down from the shelves and not take up the position of the other books. That’s why I couldn’t help but ask you a few questions when I saw you mention this book the moment you came up.”

The more the peddler said this, the more curious Bi Wei Rong became. She asked,

“Is it because the story is boring?”

“This… I don’t think so. On the contrary, this novel can be said to be the most novel setting I’ve seen in my ten years of reading! It told the story of the protagonist who was involved in a disaster on the legendary Astorokis. In the end, he turned the tide, resolved the crisis, and saved the entire ship.”

“Hey! Don’t be in a hurry to show such an expression!”The pedd-seller waved his hands when he saw Bi Weirong’s ‘that’s it.

” The biggest feature of this novel is that it’s not like other novels where the protagonist cuts through all the obstacles along the way. On the contrary, the protagonist in this novel can be said to have died several times, and her greatest ability is that every time she dies, time will be reversed, allowing her to start over again, which is the so-called starting from scratch.”

Hiss…

It did seem quite novel. At least, Bi Weirong had never read such a story before. After the hawker’s introduction, she was successfully intrigued, but at the same time, she was very confused.

“It does sound interesting, but even if it doesn’t sold well, it shouldn’t be as bad as you said, right?”

Under Bi Weirong’s question, the bookstall vendor sighed in disappointment.

“Hey, Miss, you don’t know this. The biggest problem with this book is… It wasn’t the book that was the problem. It was Kasumiako-sensei’s problem. In all the novels she wrote, the protagonists were all women. Most of the characters in the stories were also women, and there were quite a few of them, uh… With that kind of plot, it would not only lose male readers, but it would also not please female readers. No matter how good the story was, would anyone buy it?”

” However, the reason why I’m still willing to purchase this ” Journey to Thousand Islands from Zero ” is because I discovered that Teacher Kasumiko has unexpectedly added a male character who has been secretly helping the protagonist in this work for the first time!”

” So, I thought that with this change, perhaps the public would be able to discover Teacher Kasumi Akiko’s excellent works, but now it seems… Sigh, most people would probably give up after seeing that the author was Kasumi Akiko. They wouldn’t even be willing to read it.”

Amidst the groans of the peddler, Bi Weirong bought the novel. As a Flame Domain player and one of Liz’s secretaries, Bi Weirong did not lack money.

So…

What did this light novel have to do with his mission…

Hiss

Wait a minute!

The Astorokis… Thousand Islands…Flame Domain?

Bi Weirong had just started reading the preface of the novel, which roughly introduced the background of the story. She immediately became excited.

If one wanted to reach the Thousand Islands from the Flame Domain, they had to take a boat, and a big shot like Vivian would definitely not take an ordinary boat. Then the Astorokis here…

Suddenly, a bold guess appeared in Bi Wei Rong Rong’s mind.

Could it be that the heroine in this novel was…Vivian was the prototype?

The more she read, the more she felt that the kind, brave, and determined heroine in the story was exactly the same as Bai Vivian in her heart!

Unknowingly, Bi Wei Rong Rong was immersed in the exciting novel. She did not even notice that another new customer had arrived beside her.

“Sir, are you here to buy a light novel? Let me introduce you to a few new books that have been released recently. They are especially popular!”

It was the same greeting as when he greeted Bi Wei Rong, but this time, the new customer seemed a little hesitant. He didn’t know which book to buy, which gave the hawker a chance.

“First of all, it’s naturally this ‘My Kin Can’t Be So Strong’! Let me tell you, this novel is unique. It’s set in the background of Qingfeng’s Blood Clan. It tells the story of an adventure between a high-ranking vampire lady and her human family who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger!”

“Uh… Not interested? Should I try this book, I Can Add Affixations Unlimited? “The biggest feature of this book is that the protagonist can give others and himself affixing. For example, after adding the ‘robust’ affixing, the entire person will instantly become extremely strong. After adding the ‘wealth’ affixing, there will be many gold coins in the bank account. Let’s see how the protagonist relies on…”

” Alright, Sir. If the first two can’t satisfy you, then you must try this explosive sales book, I’ll…”

Before the peddler could finish his endless introduction, he was interrupted because the new customer in front of him seemed to be very concerned about which light novel the lady next to him was reading.

And after that.

The new customer waved his hand and pointed at the inconspicuous corner at the innermost corner of the bookstall. There, it was…

” There’s no need to say anything. I just want the book, Journey to the Thousand Islands from Zero. How much is it?”

This was…

What was going on today? Double happiness? Is it still the same? Teacher Kasumi Akiko is finally going to be popular!

Just as the bookstall vendor was confused, surprised, and delighted, Bi Weirong, who had been engrossed in her novel, finally shifted her attention away from the book when she heard the familiar title. She glanced at the new customer beside her.

This glance didn’t matter.

In exchange, Bi Wei Rong Rong was momentarily stunned, and what followed was her eyes that were filled with hostility, as if she had seen an enemy who was gritting her teeth.

” It’s you!?”
