Chapter 212: A New Bookstore (2)

At around four o’clock, the books ordered by Ling Pingan were delivered.

Two big boxes full of books!

There were more than 120 books in total.

The two big boxes of books were moved into the bookstore.

Ling Pingan started to get busy.

He started to adjust the layout of the bookshelves again and moved them one by one.

After about an hour of adjustment, a new shelf space was finally opened.

Ling Pingan was also a little out of breath from exhaustion.

“I’m so tired! So tired!” Ling Pingan took a tissue and wiped his forehead. Then, he made himself a cup of tea.

Then, he collapsed in his chair.

The young bookstore owner felt that he had really worked too hard today.

Meow!

The little cat Bastet rubbed affectionately in his arms. She also felt sorry for her master.

Of course!

The Amber Cat’s eyes reflected the real scene in front of it.

Countless tentacles and compound eyes were curled up in the bookshelves.

Countless monsters were entrenched in them.

Each of them was at least hundreds of kilometers in size.

Except for this great master, no one could move them!

After lying in the chair and resting for about 20 minutes, Ling Pingan stood up.

“I have to finish my work today!” He said.

He didn’t want to wake up tomorrow morning and continue to do his work.

If that was the case, it would be too troublesome. It wasn’t what he wanted!

The young bookstore owner would rather be tired today than save his trouble for tomorrow.

Because he had long understood that if he couldn’t solve the problem in one go, the problem would always exist.

It would become a hindrance for him to play games and write novels!

The problem was there!

He had to do it sooner or later. It was better to solve it once and for all!

Thus, Ling Pingan walked to the inner side of the bookstore. He opened a storage door on the inner wall and took out pieces of wood products that had been dismantled.

Then, he found a bag of screws, a screwdriver, and a hammer.

He began to pound inside.

The kitten Bastet lay on the counter, watching her master’s actions.

In the amber cat’s eyes, only endless lightning and thunder were reflected.

Just like at the beginning of creation, at the beginning of time.

The creator connected the world, rising the earth and stars, and falling the seawater and soil.

The clear air rose, and the turbid air fell.

The master’s great strength was quietly released.

This great strength changed everything!

Bastet’s eyes were fixed on it.

Just like him, there was also the Taotie statue placed in the counter.

The little Taotie saw this scene and quickly curled up in fear.

The little cat Bastet ignored the little guy.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that this guy often crawled out in the middle of the night and licked the food residue that the master dropped in the gap between the counter and the keyboard, he would have licked it clean.

Bastet almost forgot that there was such a little thing in this bookstore.

… … ..

Ling Pingan let out a long sigh.

He looked at the bookshelf that had been reassembled in front of him.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he moved the two large boxes of books over.

After that, he sorted them into categories and placed them one by one.

There were qigong books, alchemy books, feng shui books, extraterrestrial books..

Of course, he adhered to the principle of ‘not doing evil’.

Ling pingan would put a label on the covers of these books: Entertainment.

This was to remind future customers not to take it seriously.

Of course, it didn’t matter if they took it seriously.

Because, these books were all carefully selected by Ling Pingan.

If you were like that ‘muscle tendon changing sutra’, even if others were to practice it, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Perhaps it could even strengthen the body!

As for that ‘ancient alchemy and qi-gazing technique’, it was all nonsense.

More importantly, it was all stories.

There wasn’t any specific formula or description.

That was why Ling Pingan dared to enter!

As a law-abiding citizen, no matter what Ling Pingan did, he would consider the law.

After all, he did not want to play games and write novels by himself, only to end up in jail.

There were no games or novels there!

After arranging these newly classified books one by one, Ling Pingan took the rest of the stock and placed them on the other bookshelves.

“If that foreign guest comes again…” Ling Pingan placed the official series of the ‘stellaris’ series on the shelves, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “He’ll definitely be happy!”

She was a member of the ‘Synthetic Ascension’ faction, so she definitely had no interest in spirit power or genes!

But..

Ling Pingan believed that she would definitely like that ‘Stellaris: Evil Gods and ancient gods’book.

He placed all the books on the shelves one by one.

Ling Pingan stretched lazily. “I’m just waiting for Uncle Wen’s poster and wallpaper!”

He had already ordered his own poster and wallpaper from Uncle Wen.

Once uncle Wen delivered them and re-framed them, the bookstore would be brand new!

Perhaps a wave of new customers would arrive tonight!

With this thought in mind, Ling Pingan took out his HP phone and ordered the most expensive fu sang eight fresh ramen!

Hmm, I’ve been tired all afternoon. It’s time to make up for it!

The young bookstore owner returned to the counter. Then, he collapsed on the chair and waited for the delivery and poster to arrive.

Meow!

The kitten Bastet jumped onto him and snuggled up to its owner intimately.

Ling Pingan caressed the little guy and slowly closed the tired corners of his eyes, pretending to sleep.

When he closed his eyes.

Endless Mist overflowed from his body.

On the glass door, a huge eye opened and swept across the entire bookstore.

Endless pressure pressed down on the entire bookstore.

It also affected countless worlds.

The little cat Bastet shivered and curled up.

In the corner of the counter, the little Taotie was trembling all over.

Because at this moment, the Grand and Strange Music of Truth was playing in this small bookstore.

The background of the universe was directly reflected on the floor of the bookstore.

The huge black hole was slowly rotating.

The huge celestial bodies were whistling.

The Evil Gods born in the nebula poked their heads out one by one.

They were nervous and uneasy, and they were also inexplicably excited.

They were nervous and looking forward to something!

Finally, a certain will sounded in their hearts.

“It’s time to pay tribute!”

“The ruler needs tribute!”

The evil gods cheered. They had finally waited.

It was time to pay tribute!

And so, they moved quickly.

The great ruler had finally asked to pay tribute.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The evil gods in the nebula disappeared one after another.

They were going to hunt and find suitable tribute for the great ruler!

… … … ..

“Ling-san… Ling-san…”

Chiba Michiko’s sweet voice woke Ling Pingan up.

He opened his eyes and shook his head. It was almost seven o’clock on the wall!

He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. “Thousand leaves sauce, I’m sorry. I overslept!”

“It’s Okay!” Fusang brought a heavy takeaway box to the counter. “Ling-san, this is the eight fresh ramen you ordered!”

Ling Pingan immediately said, “Thank you for your hard work, Chiba-chan!”

“You’re welcome!” Fusang bowed and said.

Ling Pingan opened the takeaway box. The fragrant ramen was filled with shrimp, shellfish, and fish!

He picked up his chopsticks, picked it up, and took a bite.

The fresh fragrance filled his mouth, and the taste was amazing!

So, he gave a thumbs up and praised, “Michiko-chan’s beef noodle is really getting better and better…”

When Chiba Michiko heard this, she happily bowed. “Ling-san’s praise is the glory of the thousand leaves Family!”

For Fusang’s fox girl, her current life was really too good.

She didn’t need to worry about the invasion of other demons, nor did she need to worry about being suddenly embroiled in a battle.

Every day, she could cook the delicacies she liked and deliver them to the guests one by one, hearing the praises of the guests!

This was the belief of the thousand leaves family!

Cooking delicacies for the customers and receiving praise!

Unfortunately..

Her compatriots back home couldn’t be the same as her.

Thinking of this, the fox girl felt a little discouraged.

Therefore, she carefully asked, “Ling-san, in your opinion, do you think Fusang or Sanluo has a good chance of joining the Federal Empire?”

Ling Pingan listened and chuckled. Then, he shook his head and sighed, “Difficult!”

It wasn’t the ancient times. Countries mainly annexed and expanded.

In the current world, the mainstream was peace and development.

When it came to the federal empire, even the people of the metropolitan territory did not really hope for new kingdoms to join.

The reason was very simple. An Empire with a federal system as its framework.

Although it was a situation where the law and system were unified and centralized,.

In the end, it was still the federation. Independent kingdoms also had a lot of autonomy!

The federation’s Metropolitan territory would argue with the northern, Southern, and western song kingdoms every day.

In addition, if the independent kingdoms were added, it would mean that a new constituency would appear.

The central ministers, the Parliament, and the cabinet had to leave a certain number of seats for the new kingdoms.

This would definitely weaken the powers of the other kingdoms and weaken their positions.

Therefore, the northern and southern kingdoms would never agree.

The sovereign of the xisong kingdom might be able to be persuaded.

Looking at Ling Pingan’s expression, Chiba Michiko also understood.

Of course, she was already aware of this fact!

“Chiba-chan… “Ling Pingan looked at Fu sang and said meaningfully, “If you have family members in Fusang, bring them over!”

“Didn’t you already get permanent residence?”

“You can apply for family reunion, or you can apply to study abroad…”

“It’s all very easy to get approved!”

For law-abiding immigrants, the Federal Empire responded very quickly to their applications.

Chiba Michiko’s eyes lit up when she heard this. “Really?”

“Of course!” As a web novelist, Ling Pingan always knew a lot of strange things about HP.

“Does Chiba Michiko still have relatives in Fusang?”

Chiba Michiko nodded happily. “Yes! I still have an aunt and cousin in the capital…”

“If they’re willing, Chiba Michiko can go to the Immigration Bureau to fill out the form…”

“Your aunt can ask your mother to fill out the form for the family reunion…”

“If it’s your cousin, you can help her apply for the university’s qualifications to study abroad!”

“Log on to the Federal Empire’s education network and find a study abroad program. Fill in the form. With the guarantee of permanent residence, many universities will be willing to accept her!”

Generally speaking, universities in the federal empire were very fond of accepting students from kingdoms like Fusang and Sanluo.

In any case, the study abroad program wouldn’t take up places in the country.

Moreover, the tuition fees for foreign students were high, and they earned more money than students from the metropolitan territory.

As long as their grades met the requirements, they would almost never be rejected!

When Chiba Michiko heard this, she immediately bowed happily and said, “Thank you so much!”

Normal people would not know about this kind of thing.

Those who knew would probably not tell her.

Ling Pingan also felt a little happy when he saw Fusang jumping around happily and leaving.

This feeling of helping others filled him up!

… … … … … … ..

After eating ramen, he even drank half of the soup!

Ling Pingan patted his belly and laid down on the chair, moaning comfortably.

At that moment, a small electric donkey stopped at the entrance of the shop.

Uncle Wen walked in with a big bag of posters and a roll of wallpaper.

“Pingan, come and take a look…” Uncle Wen said with a smile.

“No Need!” Ling Pingan said with a smile, “Uncle Wen, just put down your things…”

There was utter trust between the two partners that have been working together for 20 to 30 years.

“Uncle Wen, do you want to sit down?”

“No need!” Uncle Wen said with a smile, “I still have to rush back to the square to dance with my wife!”

“Oh…” Ling Pingan quickly got up and sent the old man out of the door. He watched him ride the electric donkey and disappear into the night.

Ling Pingan turned around and opened the wallpaper.

He looked at it and nodded with satisfaction!

It was the style he needed!

The style that a late-night bookstore should have!

Mysterious, ethereal, illusory..

Then he opened the posters again. They were all designed by Uncle Wen.

They were all his ideas.

So, he immediately began to work.

He tore down the old posters and wallpapers that had been hanging on the walls for almost a year.

Then, he found glue and pasted new wallpapers on them.

Then, he pasted the posters on the wallpapers one by one.

They formed a whole.

He then stood in the counter, stood at the door, and looked at it from different angles for a while.

On the wallpaper, there were galaxies, and all kinds of nebula patterns, full of mystery and illusion.

On the posters, there were ferocious monsters, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

One by one, the strange ghosts and demon gods howled at the sky.

It looked a little scary.

However, late-night guests might think that such posters and wallpapers were cool!

Of course!

Ling Pingan also knew that it was better to go overboard than go overboard!

Therefore, on the other side of the wallpapers, there were celestial palaces, pavilions, and pavilions, surrounded by celestial mist.

On the posters, there were sword immortals who flew on swords, venerated immortals who controlled the five elements, or Bodhisattvas who were merciful throughout the ages.

The two complemented each other. One side was evil and mysterious, while the other side was sacred and carefree.

“My customers should like it!” The confident bookstore owner thought with his chin in his hand.

Now, he began to look forward to tonight.

If a customer came to visit..

How would he comment on his design and decoration?

“He should be very surprised!” Ling Pingan thought.
