Lin Sanjiu smacked the hardcover storybook back onto the top of the stack of books.
The tower of books swayed from left to right from the impact. She quickly went forward and supported it to prevent it from falling. Glancing at the stack of books, she let out a sigh and turned them all into cards.
As she gathered all the twenty cards in her palm neatly and arranged them, she felt she was holding a deck of poker cards. Every card had the same description that read "Penguin Publishing's Pop-Up Storybook".
"Why did he give you so many storybooks?" Soulsqn went nearer and asked, blighting the air with her fetid breath, "Is it because you love to read stories?"
"Good guess, but unfortunately, I don't," replied Lin Sanjiu sulkily. She spread the twenty cards into the shape of a fan and continued, "I kept wondering why so many Special Items were missing, but now I understand."
