At that moment, the system refreshed.
[Customer Childe has finished reading Detective Conan and obtained the reward — Solar Skateboard.]
[Solar Skateboard: One of Conan's signature "cool-guy" gadgets. Equipped with a solar-powered engine that runs on sunlight. Maximum speed depends on sunlight intensity; typically around 80 km/h.]
"Another gadget from the Grim Reaper Elementary Schooler…"
Han Feng's eyes lit up with interest.
While this solar skateboard and Xiangling's bowtie voice-changer were both Conan's standard tools, in terms of cool factor, the skateboard absolutely won.
At first it was just a fast board— Conan using it to chase motorcycles down the street.
But later?
Things got absurd.
For example, in the movie Quarter of Silence, Conan literally rode the skateboard off a collapsing dam, raced a flood, and created an avalanche at an abandoned ski resort to stop it.
And in The Eleventh Striker, Conan performed a death-defying airborne skateboard stunt on the stadium's metal framework.
Han Feng remembered watching that in his previous life and being utterly stunned.
A skateboard… causing avalanches?
A skateboard… flying over stadiums?
"Conan physics" truly defied description.
Only one word applied—
Kexue.
Hum—
A column of radiant light descended onto Childe.
Moments later, when the light faded, a yellow skateboard appeared in his hands.
"This is… a skateboard?"
Childe blinked.
Of course he recognized it—Conan used it constantly.
But learning from last time, he waited for Han Feng's explanation before getting carried away.
"Mm. One of Conan's coolest gimmicks.
Runs on solar energy.
Its maximum speed depends on sunlight—typically around 80 kilometers per hour."
Han Feng explained.
"It can go that fast?!"
Childe's eyes widened.
He knew Conan rode it often, but he had no idea the speed was so outrageous.
80 km/h!
"Well, it's the protagonist's gear.
Being fast is expected."
The Lady said calmly.
He had a death-god aura— what was one fast skateboard?
Besides, 80 km/h was nothing compared to her motorcycle.
Han Feng had said her bike reached 230 km/h— and it looked stylish doing it.
So the Lady found Childe's shock embarrassing.
Could he not… act more like an Executive?
Childe didn't know she was silently judging him.
Upon hearing it was the Solar Skateboard, he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Boss Han, how do I use it?"
Childe asked eagerly.
He remembered vividly— Conan used this thing to show off everywhere.
Chasing cars.
Outrunning criminals.
Nailing insane stunts.
There was nothing it couldn't do.
If Ajax told Teucer about this, the kid would faint from excitement.
"Step on it and press the button. That's all."
Han Feng said with a small smile.
He could guess exactly what Childe was imagining.
Truth was— everyone who watched Conan's ridiculous scenes had the same thought:
"If it were me, I could do it too!"
But Conan was the protagonist.
Even he frequently got injured doing these stunts.
Normal people had no chance.
If Childe rode the board casually, staying at modest speeds, he'd probably be fine.
But if he got cocky— max speed, fancy tricks, hero cosplay…
Then who knew?
Even with his strength, physics (Teyvat version or Conan version) could still kill him.
"Thank you, Boss Han! I'll head out first!"
Clutching his new toy, Childe hurried off.
He was dying to try it.
As the Liyue proverb went:
"Lose at the east, gain at the west."
He didn't get the Fake Harmony Star, but this Solar Skateboard?
Absolutely worth it.
The Lady watched him leave with exasperated silence before turning back to Han Feng.
"Boss, what about my reward?"
Han Feng checked the system again.
The new line appeared—
[Customer The Lady has finished reading Legends of Runeterra and obtained the reward — Ten fully equipped computers with the game League of Legends installed.]
[League of Legends: A game based on Legends of Runeterra. Heroes—let's surpass limits together!]
"Ah, so the reward is League of Legends."
Han Feng showed a hint of surprise, though not much.
It made sense.
Legends of Runeterra was literally the lore behind LoL champions.
A game appearing alongside it was normal.
"With this, lots of people will definitely be interested."
Han Feng smiled.
Hum—
A beam of light enveloped the Lady.
When it faded, a card appeared in her hand— stylized with LoL artwork.
"Boss Han, this is…?"
she asked, examining the card.
"Ten computer setups—with League of Legends installed,"
Han Feng explained.
"League of… Legends?"
The Lady blanked.
What was that?
A game?
And what did that have to do with the manga?
She wasn't unfamiliar with "computers" she'd seen them in some manga but she had no idea how this all connected.
"Think of it this way: the stories in Legends of Runeterra are the stories of the characters in the game LoL.
Those computers are for playing the game.
Up to five people on a team, ten players total."
Han Feng patiently clarified.
This was the first time a game appeared as a reward, so explaining it clearly was necessary.
Later rewards of this type wouldn't confuse people anymore.
"I see!"
The Lady finally understood.
So there was a game called LoL.
And Legends of Runeterra was essentially its character lore.
"I didn't expect the manga I read… to be about characters from a game."
She marveled.
It was a revelation she never anticipated.
But then—
A sudden thought struck her.
A horrifying thought.
A terrifyingly logical thought.
Is there a possibility…
that I— and everyone else in Teyvat—
are also characters in a game?
Her expression stiffened.
Her mind went cold.
A frightening possibility had opened.
