"Ripple Breathing."
All Might read the markings on the purple orb aloud, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
"Congratulations!"
Fang Xing smiled as he watched All Might hold the purple orb. He hadn't expected such luck—normally, the odds of obtaining a purple-tier item from a low-level jar were one in a thousand. The guaranteed blue item alone was a valuable reward, but this was an unexpected windfall.
"This is a special breathing technique from a world known as JoJo." Fang Xing began explaining. "Unlike regular human breathing, this technique generates ripples that can heal injuries and significantly enhance physical strength."
"With enough training, you could reach your current level of power without relying on your inherited Quirk."
"Holy—!"
All Might couldn't stop himself from cursing in excitement. Without hesitation, he crushed the purple orb in his hand.
A surge of knowledge and power coursed through his body, and as the transformation settled, he felt an incredible lightness. Even the injuries he had sustained in the battle against All for One seemed to ease slightly.
"This is incredible!"
All Might clenched his fists, feeling a newfound energy. With continued training in Ripple Breathing, he had a strong premonition—regenerating his lost organs might no longer be just a dream. It was a power even greater than the Healing Lady's Quirk.
Looking down at the remaining white and green orbs scattered on the floor, he suddenly understood why his luck had seemed so bad earlier. It was all leading up to this moment.
Shame washed over him as he recalled his earlier suspicions about Fang Xing's shop. His thoughts had been filled with doubt, but now he realized—this place was truly beyond imagination.
At that moment, a peculiar phrase popped into his mind and refused to leave: Real fragrance.
Returning to His World
"Sir, how do I return to my original world?"
All Might had gathered the light orbs and manga volumes in his arms but suddenly remembered something. He carefully placed them down and turned to Fang Xing with a serious expression.
"Here, take this invitation card." Fang Xing tossed him a sleek card. "With this, you can visit the shop for free once a month. Otherwise, it costs 100 Origin Points per visit."
"Origin Points, huh?" All Might murmured, absorbing the information.
"To return, just open the door," Fang Xing added nonchalantly. "Oh, and a quick tip—unopened light orbs can be stored in that card."
"Understood."
All Might swiftly stored the light orbs into the card, then, balancing the half-man-high stack of manga, pushed open the door and stepped back into his world.
System Notification: Mission Complete!
"Congratulations, Store Manager! You have successfully completed the Novice Mission: Ten Consecutive Draws!"
Fang Xing's system voice rang out as soon as All Might left.
"The system is truly impressed. Without any guidance, you perfectly convinced the first customer to willingly perform ten consecutive draws!"
"Not only that, but despite his poor luck, the customer still holds great respect for the store. That level of persuasion is remarkable!"
"As a reward, your authority has been upgraded! You can now purchase store items at a 20% discount!"
"Additionally, the system has prepared an exclusive jar just for you!"
Fang Xing stared at the glowing notification in silence, unsure how to respond.
If he hadn't personally seen the probability settings for the jars, he might have been tempted to buy a few himself. Now, though, he just hoped this exclusive jar was truly worth it.
Just as he was considering his next move, his mission panel refreshed. The original Novice Mission was replaced with a brand-new task.
[Mission: Get on Track!]
Objective: Receive customers from five different worlds.
Reward: One exclusive store manager jar (guaranteed purple item) & store upgrade.
Fang Xing's eyes gleamed as he read the details. A guaranteed purple-tier reward? That alone made completing this mission worthwhile.
"Sigh, I really wanted to be a good person, but this system won't let me!" he muttered with a dramatic sigh, though he was already thinking of ways to attract new customers.
A New Visitor
Just then, the shop's entrance creaked open.
A woman with chestnut-colored hair, dressed in a fantasy-style outfit, stepped inside. Her sharp eyes surveyed the shop before settling on Fang Xing.
"Excuse me, but where exactly is this place?" she asked curiously. "Are you the information NPC who sells intelligence on class lords?"
Fang Xing smirked.
A new leek had arrived.
