Lingpingan was lying on the counter, like a salted fish.
"I should have known it would be so troublesome..." He muttered: "I don't want to play with butter aging!"
All afternoon, he only did one thing - spread butter on the beef.
This sounds simple.
But when you do it...
Anyway, he worked hard all afternoon and his brain was dizzy before he managed to wrap up the beef!
He swears!
Never do such stupid things next time!
I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost ten o'clock.
"Have I been lying down for so long?" He scratched his head. He remembered that he came downstairs at seven o'clock, so...
"Alas..." the young online article author couldn't help but sigh: "I can only work harder tomorrow!"
The result of his work today is still zero!
But considering that every time he opens a new book, he has to go back and forth for two or three months, which is actually within the acceptable range!
As the saying goes...
"Good food never comes late..." He said: "Perhaps, precisely because of my craftsman spirit of striving for perfection, this time I can become a god with a book and prove the great cause of the sixth white man in the Central Plains!"
Saying this, the young online article writer is full of fighting spirit.
He firmly believes that the sixth best person in the Central Plains, who else but me!
So, he sat up straight.
Then he turned to look outside and frowned: "Why is it foggy again?"
"It's only been quiet for a few days!"
Calculating the time, it will only last for four or five days at most, right?
"Never mind!" Lingpingan reached out and grabbed the rolling shutter door, about to pull it down.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye, walking towards him in the fog.
"Hey!" Lingpingan looked over carefully and saw a dusty figure.
…………………………
Ran Bing walked in this fog.
She is cautious and full of vigilance.
She knew that there must be unknown secrets in this fog where even the scarlet beast could be killed.
She slowly walked towards the source of the light source.
As she approached, the scenery ahead slowly appeared in front of her eyes.
Just like old world city streets.
A series of red brick buildings stand in this fog.
The light was reflected from one of the rooms.
Ran Bing looked over and saw a figure at the door.
"Human?" She was stunned.
There are actually humans on the ground?!
According to the investigation, isn't there any life on the ground long ago excluding the Scarlet Beast and other monsters?
Even plants, even spore plants, no longer grow!
"What exactly is this place?" Ran Bing asked himself.
Finally she decided to ask that person.
So, she stopped her posture and walked over.
As she got closer, the fog around her gradually faded away.
When we walked to the building, there was no trace of fog left.
Then, she saw clearly the 'person' in her eyes.
he……
Fog surrounded his head, and two points of fire gradually rose up in his head shrouded in fog.
It seems to be his eyes?
He looked down at his private parts.
He wore the kind of clothing you only see in old world newspapers and books, very simple and without any protection.
He didn't have any weapons on him either.
The fault was with the head surrounded by mist and the two points of flowing fire.
Ran Bing almost thought that he had arrived in the city before the old world collapsed.
The other party obviously found Ran Bing and he walked out.
As he approached, Ran Bing clearly felt that the fog behind him was boiling and cheering.
It seems that this weirdo is the master of this fog, the king of this foggy world!
……………………
Lingpingping walked safely to the pedestrians in the middle of the night.
He looked at this man.
She was wearing a somewhat old uniform, and I couldn't tell what brand it was.
But I'm sure the quality is very good!
He had a holster on his waist and what looked like a simulated sniper rifle on his back.
A row of simulated grenades is strapped to his abdomen.
You can tell at a glance that he is a player addicted to real-life chicken eating!
As a result, Lingpingan's mind immediately started to change.
This is a big customer!
You can tell just by looking at the equipment she has on her, she can't handle it if she's not worth tens of thousands!
and……
Lingpingan feels that she must be willing to spend!
You can tell by looking at her face!
The fair skin was covered with dust.
What does this mean? It means that people are willing to invest, and they even put a layer of dust on their faces for the sake of authenticity!
only……
"How to persuade her to come into the store to make purchases?" Lingpingan started thinking about it.
Soon, he had an idea.
"Guest..." He stepped forward with a smile and said: "You have worked hard in the battle, do you want to go into the shop and take a rest?"
Ran Bing looked at the weirdo in front of him with vigilance.
His voice sounded calm and gentle.
However, when Ran Bing listened, he clearly felt that there was something in his words.
Especially the phrase ‘It’s been a hard battle’.
"He knows about me?" Ran Bing thought.
So, she carefully reached for the gun holster on her waist.
She is a little insecure!
but……
She did not touch the pistol at her waist.
What she touched was a smooth and cold tentacle-like object.
This thing slowly wrapped around her hand.
The feeling of terror gave Ran Bing goosebumps all over his body.
So, Ran Bing finally knew.
What she met was not a weirdo, a monster!
But...
The devil in myths and legends!
"Is what the Light Church says true?" Ran Bing couldn't help but think.
After the big collapse, survivors poured into the floating city.
In despair and crisis, various religions took advantage of the situation and gradually took over the mainstream of each floating city.
The floating city where Ran Bing is located is controlled by the Church of Light.
The Church of Light claims that it was precisely because humans in the old world did not believe in the God of Light that they triggered God’s wrath, so they brought disasters and destroyed the old world!
As long as you wholeheartedly believe in and follow the teachings of the God of Light, you can survive the monsters and the doomsday!
In the past, Ran Bing scoffed at this!
Because, in addition to hiding in the floating city and playing tricks, the so-called Church of Light also dares to enter the ground!
Naturally, they couldn't hide warriors like Ran Bing, who had narrowly escaped death on the ground and battled wits and courage with scarlet beasts and various monsters.
but now……
Ran Bing looked at the strange man in front of him, feeling the trembling and fear coming from the depths of his soul.
She had to believe that perhaps, some of the things the Light Church said were correct.
Gods or similar existences do exist!
Right in front of you is the best example!
but……
Was he responsible for the destruction of the old world?
Scarlet Beast, what does it have to do with him?
Is he friend or foe?
However, Ran Bing had no time to think too much.
Because, that weirdo has already sent out an invitation: "Why don't you go to the store and have a look!"
"The store has many books about fighting, survival, and victory!"
"Maybe there is one book that your guest will like!"
Following his words, the tentacle that quietly wrapped around Ran Bing's hand slowly disappeared.
A force appeared from behind her and pushed her over.
Vaguely, Ran Bing felt something slipping from her neck.
At the moment of contact, the most direct threat and intimidation was conveyed to Ran Bing's brain: "Go in, or...die!"
Of course Ran Bing doesn't want to die.
She still wants to go back.
She still wants to live!
She even wants to find out the truth behind the collapse of the old world and the relationship between Umbrella and the Scarlet Beast!
So, she took a deep breath and nodded to the weirdo in front of her: "Okay!"
The other party seemed very happy, and the fire in the mist rose up: "Welcome to the shop!" He pushed the door open and said very enthusiastically.
but……
The strangeness behind me, the feeling before.
Ran Bing didn't dare to use normal thinking to understand his words.
welcome……
The Church of Light also often says to the common people: The God of Light welcomes every believer!
In the end, what the Light Church wants is not their faith.
It’s their few food, medicines, and even their lives!
so……
What does this weirdo in the fog want?
Ran Bing didn't know, but she could only bite the bullet and walk in.
When passing by him, Ran Bing clearly felt that every cell in his body was filled with fear.
It seemed that she was facing more than just monsters.
It seems that this weirdo himself is fear, terror, and despair!
Walking into the door, Ran Bing was immediately shocked by what he saw.
Ahead...
A dark, silent, and terrifying deep abyss was reflected in the pupils of his eyes!
Even the light in this shop cannot shine into the dark and silent abyss.
Something as thick as asphalt was slowly flowing on the edge of the abyss.
Deep in the abyss, countless terrifying evil eyes opened and closed one after another.
After just one glance, Ran Bing immediately lowered his head.
Her intuition told her that if she looked any further, something would happen!
Meow!
I don't know when, a little black cat appeared at Ran Bing's feet.
cat?
Ran Bing looked at this kitten and felt very conflicted!
Because, after the Great Collapse, with the destruction of the old world, human society was completely changed!
Not to mention pets, even family relationships are gone now.
Father and son, husband and wife, brothers have become terms in history!
But, here, in this so-called 'small shop' in this mysterious fog.
But there was a kitten, a pet that I had only read about in books, living freely.
"He may not be malicious!" Ran Bing turned back and looked at the weird man walking over.
The fog enveloped him and surrounded him.
Two points of fire slowly lingered in what seemed to be the eye sockets.
Meow!
The kitten at Ran Bing's feet jumped neatly onto the counter next to him, and then jumped onto his shoulder.
"This is my pet..." The other party seemed to be smiling and said: "It's called Best!"
"Come on, little darling..." he said, "let's say hello to our guests!"
Meow!
The little black cat meowed softly.
Ran Bing smiled and wanted to respond.
but……
Her smile froze on her face.
Because, she saw, behind the kitten, a pyramid shrouded and surrounded by countless lights was reflected!
In the pyramid, countless prayers and prayers came one after another.
The majestic sacred hymns and the solemn epic chants are intertwined with each other!
Is there a kitten here or there?
He is clearly a god!
A god with countless followers!
And this god is just the pet of this weirdo in the fog!?
Finally, Ran Bing could no longer contain her excitement.
She tried hard to be brave, and then summoned up the courage to ask: "Sir, what are you selling here...?"
The other party laughed and pointed forward, to the dark abyss, the terrifying abyss: "As you can see..."
He said: "I sell knowledge here!"
"More than just the knowledge of fighting!"
"There are also all kinds of secret knowledge!"
“Basically, as long as you have heard of it, I have it here!”
“If you haven’t heard of it, there are probably some guests!”
"In short, customer!" He emphasized seriously: "You have come to the store, you have come to the right place!"
Combat knowledge?
Ran Bing thought: "Which aspect?"
It's definitely not ordinary combat knowledge.
Maybe he has the combat knowledge on how to truly kill the Scarlet Beast!
Secret knowledge?
It must be related to the collapse of the old world, right?
Have I heard of it?
Does the legend of the Church of Light count?
Do the legends of other floating city churches count?
Never heard of it?
Does the world hide more unknown secrets and secrets?
Ran Bing thought about this and asked tentatively: "Sir, have you ever heard of a protective umbrella?"
"Umbrella?" The other party seemed confused for a moment, then shrugged: "That notorious dog company?"
Federal Empire, if you want to vote for the game company that is least liked by players.
Founded 30 years ago, it is said that it was established under the instructions of the late emperor and is an 'umbrella' company secretly held by royal funds. It is definitely the number one company!
Why?
This company operates numerous games that are widely ‘acclaimed’ by players.
Early online games included legends and miracles.
There are so many pitfalls in these two games that the older generation of players have full blood and tears!
Ten years ago, Umbrella launched a new work: Lua Lu.
The Grand Maesters of Zaun have plenty to say, and at least a million people want to greet the High Hall of the Dog Company - well, they might not!
Three years ago, the Canyon mobile game was launched.
Lingpingan is addicted to this day!
As a result, all federal players, old, middle and young, all have an unprecedented unified opinion on one issue: the games are all good, but the operations are really bad!
Players are unhappy, and they talk about dog planning and dog operations every day, which are all routine operations!
………………
Dog company?
Ran Bing's hands trembled.
"He knew...he knew...even had contact with..."
This also means that he may know everything about the old world clearly, and even know how the disaster in the old world happened?
but……
"Will he tell me?" Ran Bing didn't know.
After thinking about it, she could only ask tentatively: "Sir, can you recommend me?"
This may be the best way.
The other party did not refuse the proposal and was even a little happy!
"Guest!" He said to Ran Bing: "Sit down and wait a moment!"
Then, he hummed a little tune and walked towards the deep and dark abyss.
