A short while later, we met up with Old Man Leng's wife in the hotel lobby on the first floor. We found out that she had already handled all the hotel procedures for us, so we didn't have to worry about anything of the sort, which was awesome. As an aside, she didn't check us out or anything - apparently, she booked around a whole month for us.
"Hm...two minutes late," she said upon spotting us exit the elevator.
We walked over to her, and I spoke. "Sorry. The elevator we had been planning on entering was too full, so we had to wait for the next one. Since this is peak times, the traffic on these elevators are pretty high."
"There's always the stairs, you know..." she replied with a smirk.
"Sorry, lady, but we aren't about to descend 42 flights of stairs in one go," Xiang Peng scoffed.
Heya everyone. Cyclxne here.
In this chapter, the gang travels to a new POI (point of interest) in The Fortress, Shanghai, the Magic Capital...call it whatever you want. They are all the same. Shanghai is it's geographical name, The Fortress is a nickname the local inhabitants gave this place, and the Magic Capital is just the name people use to refer to it most commonly with.
In any case - the Library of Infinite Beginnings will become a crucial part to the story in the future: not just this volume, but this entire novel as a whole - some new characters will also be revealed, and by the same token, old ones will return...
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you all again in the next chapter~
