He was used to finding the soul of a piece within the rough black and white lines and would always lament how an artist's excellent work would end up being brought down by the unsophisticated printing.
Mylo still had not come back to his senses after being hit by this intricate drawing full of details and vibrant colors.
After flipping open the cover and going through a few pages, Mylo very quickly realized the value of this picture book, just like Garlan!
A full-colored picture book with such a high level of completeness and such great drawing style, with a novel plot, was worth way more than 1000 copper coins.
He had a few hand-drawn picture books from some illustrators in his collection ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 copper coins.
If this picture book appeared in Rodu, it would not be strange for it to fetch a price of 50,000 copper coins if a rich young lady liked it.
"I want two copies as well," Mylo said without hesitation as well.
It's a steal if you manage to buy it. When he returns to Rodu, he would keep one and resell the other one so that he could make a fortune with it.
After two people read the trial-read version, they'd decided to buy two copies each. This made the customers in the queue extremely curious.
When they saw the two of them take their money out to buy two copies of the picture book, the crowd was increasingly curious about what that picture book was.

"Let me take a look too." Harrison was also a picture book lover. His collection could be considered the largest in Chaos City.
He took the trial-read version from Mylo and was very quickly stunned by the cover as well.
There were almost no good illustrators in Chaos City and it was extremely difficult to get his hands on a colored book from Rodu. The ones he had at hand were mediocre but it was enough for him to boast around in his circle.
Right now, this picture book's quality surpassed all that he had with him. The detailed drawing and cute little mermaid were all extremely lovable.
Georgina's birthday was coming up and Harrison had been thinking of what to buy her as a present.
Now that he had seen this picture book, he had finally found it.
"I want two as well!" Harrison said without hesitation and started taking his money out.
Harrison was a regular of Mamy Restaurant and many knew him.
"What exactly is this picture book?"
"None of them said anything after taking a look and just bought it straight away. Is it really a treasure?"
"I like picture books, let me take a look!"
The customers were all in a fervent discussion and the trial-read version started being passed around in the crowd.
"Wow, it's fully colored!"
"I can't believe Annie is so remarkable!"
"Mama! This little mermaid is very pretty! I want it!"
"Daddy, I want the little mermaid too. I'm gonna cry if you don't buy it for me…"
"You're already 32, can't you sound your age?!"
"A man is still a boy till he dies!"
"I want one!"
"I want one too!"
The customers who saw the trial-read version were all convinced by the picture book's quality.
Those who knew their stuff could tell this picture book's value and parents were also happy to buy a good reading product for their children. After all, the story was interesting and the illustrations were cute.
Of course, it was mainly because Mamy Restaurant's regulars were mostly wealthy people.
1000 copper coins might sound expensive but it was nothing compared to a meal in Mamy Restaurant.
Molly and Eve were all busy counting the money and passing the picture books to the passionate customers.
After all, it was their first time selling them and they had no experience. On top of that, they had not seen so much money before, so both of them were overwhelmed.
"Don't rush. Everyone please queue up and come one at a time," Yabemiya said. She received the money from the customers with a smile. After glancing at the money, she threw it into the money box and passed a picture book to the customer.
Yabemiya's appearance brought back order to the originally chaotic scene. The customers queued up to buy the picture book in an orderly fashion.
"This Big Sister is impressive." Molly and Eve wiped their perspiration away and smiled at the customers as they looked at Yabemiya, who completed the transactions, with admiration.
Before the restaurant even opened, one-third of the 1000 picture books were already sold.
The customers in the queue had at least one picture book in their hands. There were many who started reading it and were all gasping in awe.
"Alright. Pause for a while, it's time for us to eat." Yabemiya passed the last picture book to the customer who came over, and placed a sign indicating that sales had paused on the table. She locked the money box and brought the two young maidens into the restaurant.
"Don't… don't we need a person to keep watch?" Eve asked softly.
"Boss said that it is lunch time and eating is the most important thing," Miya said with a smile, "Otherwise, not just you, but those who are waiting for you to eat, would also have to suffer."
Molly and Eve nodded thoughtfully.
When they entered, they saw Irina sitting at the table.
"Your Highness!" The two greeted hurriedly in shock.
"Mm." Irina nodded. "Wash your hands and get ready for lunch."
The two were initially rather nervous but after hearing Irina's words, they were shocked. Are they eating with the princess?
"Let's go, I'll bring you to wash your hands." Yabemiya led the two of them to the kitchen with a smile.
"The picture books are selling quite well. Well done. Eat more. You still have work to do later." Mag praised the two sisters with a smile.
He saw the scene outside just now. It was within his expectations but he was still a little proud.
Molly and Eve stole a glance at Irina. They did not dare to pick up their chopsticks first.
"Let's eat." Irina nodded at them.
The two finally picked up their chopsticks and focused on the sumptuous lunch before them.
This lunch was too filling. There were delicacies of every kind that they had never seen before and the taste was also beyond what they could imagine.
The tofu pudding that melted in their mouth, the spicy and fragrant steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers, the delicious beggar's chicken, soft and sweet red braised pork…
This meal was like a dream to Molly and Eve. They could not believe that such delicacies could actually exist in this world.
If they could… they were willing to work for Mamy Restaurant as long as they could get a free meal!
Salaries and other things did not matter at all.
Can money buy such delicious food?
It can…
But definitely not with 1000 copper coins.
After lunch, everyone took a short break before Mag opened for business.
"Mr. Mag, you have two outstanding daughters," Garlan told Mag sincerely upon stepping into the restaurant as its first customer. After that, he took a step forward and said softly, "I have something very important I wish to discuss with you during your afternoon break."
"Sure." Mag nodded with a smile.
After the continuous hard work from Perfect Food, Mag's fans had exceeded 30,000 in number and that was a very successful first partnership.
