Zhongli, Hu Tao, Xingqiu, Wendy—yes, you read that right. This street performer, after hearing about the new comic, shamelessly stayed behind.
However, Su Han also had a request: if he wanted to read comics, he had to run an errand for him, which meant delivering new comics to the Mondstadt branch after he finished reading them. Wendy couldn't refuse this request.
"Adventure King, what a great name, Su Han. Let me see what kind of great adventure this time."
Wendy picked up the comic and started reading. The story begins on an execution platform, where Roger, known as the King of Adventure, is being executed. His dying declaration causes a huge sensation: "Want my treasure? You can have it all. Go find it! I've left all my treasure there!!!"
With Roger's demise, countless adventurers rushed to the sea, and Luffy was one of them.
The content of the first volume is not much different from the previous comics; it's a story that combines humor and lightheartedness, except that this time many touching scenes have been added.
For example, the injustices of the Navy.
For example, why did Nami become a thief?
It also includes the story of Sanji and Zeff, and every scene is very touching. Among them, the appearance of Hawkeye really caught Wendy's eye.
"Wow, what a cool swordsman! He can actually cleave a ship in two with one sword strike! No wonder he's the world's number one swordsman."
Walnut, standing next to him, nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The world's greatest swordsman's power is well-deserved; he defeated Zoro, who wielded three swords, with just a small knife, which was incredibly cool.
At the end of the first volume, Luffy and his crew boarded the Going Merry and headed to Reverse Mountain, leaving Loguetown and thus beginning their true adventure!
After reading it, Zhong Li commented: "This story is different. It gives people the feeling of an adventure in another world. Each island has a different story. I think this comic will be as famous as Fox Spirit Matchmaker."
"I think so too, but let me see the contents of Volume Two first."
Wendy begins a new chapter and continues her adventure.
At the beginning of Volume 2, Luffy and his crew encounter Laboon, a whale. They initially think it's a crazy whale, but after hearing its story, everyone is deeply moved.
The reason it wanted to cross the Reverse Mountain was simply to catch a glimpse of its former companions. While whales can live for fifty years, this might not be the case in this incredibly dangerous world.
Even so, Rab still longs to reunite with his friends.
Xingqiu felt a lump in his throat upon seeing this, and he sighed, saying, "Laboon is so foolish, just like Nami, knowing full well that it's unlikely, yet still wanting to take a gamble."
"I guess that's what perseverance is all about. After all, there's always hope if you keep going."
Hu Tao, who was standing next to her, shared her insights. Although she had only read the first volume, she had already grasped the core theme of Adventure King: giving up means the end, but perseverance still offers a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps Su Han wanted to use this comic to tell everyone that no matter what difficulties you encounter, perseverance is always better than giving up.
After the whale incident, Luffy and his crew stumbled upon the pirate town again and encountered Vivi once more. This time, however, they learned about Vivi's secrets and thus began their escort mission.
On the ancient island, they encountered the chieftain of the giant race.
Although the process was thrilling, Luffy and his crew still managed to defeat Mr. 3 with their own strength and wisdom. They thought they would have a smooth journey after leaving the giant island, but unfortunately, Nami fell ill.
Because there was no ship's doctor, Luffy and his crew had to head towards the nearest island.
What was once a tropical rainforest has now turned into winter; the world inside Adventure King is so unpredictable.
Su Han was drinking tea and waiting, because there was a very touching story on Winter Island that could be described as the ultimate expression of male romance.
Sure enough, Xingqiu saw this part of the plot a few minutes later.
Although Luffy and his crew entered Drum Island, unfortunately, due to the king's tyranny, the country had no doctors at all, as the king had taken them away. Forced by circumstances, Luffy went to the top of Drum Island, where he met the reindeer doctor Chopper and thus uncovered the truth about the island.
In the flashback chapter, a quack doctor named Hiruluk makes an appearance. Although his medical skills are terrible, his lines are chilling.
"Stop! I will absolutely not shoot you!!!"
When does a person die? When a bullet pierces their heart? No! When they get an incurable disease? No! When they drink poisonous mushroom soup? No! It's when they're forgotten!
Even in death, Hiluluk did not yield, but instead lived up to his promise and dream.
This scene silenced everyone.
And that's not all; the dialogue between Chopper and Dr. Kureha is equally moving.
When Chopper brought the poisonous mushroom back, he thought he had found a panacea to save the doctor, but he didn't know that the mushroom was poisonous and would definitely kill someone if eaten. Even so, Hiluluk still ate it.
"Chopper, listen carefully. Kindness alone cannot save people! To save people, you must have sufficient knowledge and medical skills. Without these abilities, you cannot save anyone!"
The comic ends with Hiluluk's death, and everyone in the room falls silent, deeply moved by the chapter.
The first volume may have been somewhat touching and funny, but this volume is about to deliver the final blow.
So what if he's a quack doctor? As long as he has the desire to save a country, he can do anything.
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
As Wendy watched Hiruluk's final farewell, a memory from the depths of her mind came to mind. She had once been just like that person, never stopping in pursuit of her dreams. She wondered how Hiruluk was doing now, and whether the scenery on Sky Isle was still beautiful.
Xingqiu took a deep breath, forcibly stopping the tears that were about to fall, and said, "Dr. Hiluluk is really too good. I think he will definitely become an idol in the hearts of all adventurers. He is so romantic."
Hu Tao nodded frantically upon hearing this: "Not only would adventurers like a man like that, I think everyone would admire him."

Chapter 126: Witness the powerful charm of the Adventure King manga, Sister Lan!
Preparing to visit
Meanwhile, next door, while Su Han's friends were reading comics, the immortal naturally couldn't be negligent either.
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, Yao Yao, Shen He, Grandma Ping, and Xiang Ling are all gathered here.
Looking at Hiluluk's story in the Chinese comics, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun sighed, "Liyue also has someone like that, so why worry about disharmony between immortals and humans?"
"But I feel that Su Han is better than Dr. Hiluluk."
Xiangling immediately retorted. Although she was also moved by Hiluluk's story, she couldn't forget Su Han's contributions. He had genuinely worked hard for the prosperity of Liyue.
Upon hearing this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Of course, this story was originally written by Su Han, so I will not forget it. This child is actually even more foolish than Hiluluk at times. It is clearly a matter for the Mondstadt people, but he still tries his best to protect the people. He is just too kind."
"Yes, that's why we think so highly of him."
"That's right. Now I'm looking forward to the rest of the story. This comic really makes me excited."
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun usually enjoys research and doesn't have much time to travel. However, the Adventure King comic has given her many fantasy worlds, which can be considered to satisfy Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's need to go out.
If it weren't for the guests next door, she would have gone over to urge him to update the chapter. After all, Shen He was always by her side, so it shouldn't be a big deal for her, as his master, to urge him to update the chapter.
Yao Yao listened to the two immortals discussing Su Han and then laughed, "I also think big brother is amazing. I originally planned to take Qi Qi to see him today, but I thought Qi Qi was afraid of Sister Hu Tao, so let's change the time."
Hearing this, Xiangling quickly added, "Yes, yes, don't bring Qiqi in front of Hu Tao! Otherwise, there will be complete chaos!"
Now that Hu Tao's strength has greatly increased, she is really afraid that if Qi Qi goes to visit someone, she will be carried by Hu Tao to the outskirts of the city. If that happens, Qi Qi will have nightmares.
On the Qun Yu Pavilion.
Ningguang had put aside her official duties and was savoring the new story Su Han had sent her. Only after reading the last page did the wealthy woman finally smile.
"This is another masterpiece that I'm really looking forward to. I'm afraid I won't even need to buy it for you this time; the adventurers will be flocking to me."
"Hmm? Why is that, sir?"
"Don't you understand? Baiwen, you've been with me for many years now. You should be more astute by now. If you look closely, Su Han's comic is just a natural advertisement for the Adventurers' Association! The so-called adventure groups and adventure flags are all tributes to the Adventurers' Association."
"So that's it!"
The secretary suddenly realized that after Ningguang's explanation, she discovered that there were so many intricacies in this comic. But thinking about it carefully, it made sense; the so-called great treasure was exactly what adventurers were after.
Whether it's Hiruluk or the legendary giant, they represent the romance that adventurers pursue, especially the line "When will a person die?" which perfectly encapsulates the idea of never losing the drive to continue the adventure.
Ningguang smiled slightly, put down the comic book, and instructed, "Tell the people in the factory that they can start preparing to produce the merchandise for the new comic book. We can't waste this opportunity to make money."
"Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away."
The streets of Liyue are abuzz with discussion about the manga "Adventure King." The appearance of Hawkeye and the stories of various characters are the hot topics of conversation, but the most talked-about character is none other than Hiruluk.
"No wonder Boss Su said this is a man's romance. He's not kidding. What's the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?"
"Exactly! A man is a boy until he dies!"
"I really want to become a top swordsman like Zoro!"
"Hehe, brothers, talk is cheap! I'm going to participate in the selection training of the Thousand Rock Army. I heard that they offer all kinds of martial arts and internal energy cultivation. I'm willing to do anything to become stronger."
"Damn, that makes sense! If it can make you stronger, why not join the Thousand Rock Army?"
Upon hearing that someone wanted to become stronger through the Thousand Rock Army, the others were immediately drawn in as well.
Another group decided to become members of the Adventurers' Guild, wanting to learn from Zoro and become powerful adventurers through various arduous trials.
Some people are even preparing to form their own adventure teams.
The most bustling place in Liyue at this moment is undoubtedly the Adventurers' Guild, where the number of people registering today is more than a hundred times that of usual.
Seeing this, Sister Lan, the branch president of the Adventurers' Guild, exclaimed in shock, "Why are so many people registering today?"
"Boss, you just got back this morning and don't know, but a new manga appeared at Boss Su's place, called: Adventure King! It's about the adventurer Luffy forming an adventure crew and going on adventures everywhere."
"My God, bring it here so I can take a look."
As the branch president, Sister Lan understood that this was an opportunity, but she wanted to understand the specific situation before taking action. Soon, two comics were delivered to the branch president.
After reading it, Sister Lan finally understood why everyone was registering as adventurers. This comic is just too amazing! The first volume was already thrilling, and the second volume pushed the story to its peak.
Of course, the biggest beneficiaries are none other than their Adventurers' Guild.
After pondering for a moment, Sister Lan said to her subordinates, "Quickly prepare some gifts and come with me to visit Mr. Su."
"Sister Lan, what's wrong?"
"They're giving us free advertising, shouldn't we thank them? Besides, this is an opportunity. If we can seize it, our identity as adventurers will not only become more popular, but we'll also grow incredibly powerful!"
"I see. Then we can't be careless; we must send a generous gift."
"Hmph, you're only just realizing it? Let's go. This time, we need to show Mr. Su our sincerity, and we also need his guidance."
Sister Lan's words were puzzling. You said you were grateful to them, which they all understood, since without Boss Su's comics, the Adventurers' Association wouldn't be as popular as it is today. But what could he possibly say? He's just a comic book store owner.
Seeing the confused looks on her subordinates' faces, Sister Lan was amused and scoffed, "Don't you understand what I mean?"
"Kind of."
"Your intelligence is outdated. According to the latest information from Mondstadt, the person who defeated the Dragon of the East, Dvalin, and resolved the dragon calamity is very likely this comic book store owner. Do you think he could give us some pointers?"
"Huh? Boss, you mean the Dragon Disaster? My goodness. This gentleman is amazing."
