Sitting at the counter, Lingpingan revised his novel.
The main purpose is to cut out some redundant content and add some interesting things.
He wrote slowly.
The clock is ticking.
Inadvertently he raised his head: "It's actually ten o'clock..."
He moved his hands away from the keyboard, moved his neck, and then turned his head to look outside.
Now, it has already entered autumn.
The nights in Jiangcheng City become cooler.
In the distance, Lingpingan heard a burst of happy singing.
"Under the big tree in front of the door, a group of ducks are swimming by. Come on, count them, two, four, six, seven, eight..."
The singing is tender and melodious, making people feel peaceful when listening to it.
Meow!
The kitten that had been sleeping on the counter raised its head and looked out the door with amber cat eyes.
It seems to feel something.
After a while, a young man walked to the door of the bookstore with a pretty little girl.
Lingpingan looked over and found that it seemed to be the owner of the barbecue restaurant.
He quickly stood up, walked over, and opened the door.
"Your Excellency..." The young man was holding a cute little girl who looked to be five or six years old at most. He slightly adjusted the lenses on his eyes, and then said very politely: "I heard that you
Are there any exercise books for sale here?"
Lingpingan listened and immediately laughed.
"Yes!" he said: "Please come in and talk!"
"Thank you!" The owner of the barbecue restaurant bowed gratefully, then picked up the little girl he was holding and walked in.
While entering, he also introduced to Lingpingan: "This is Aning, my adopted little sister..."
"Oh..." Lingpingan nodded and looked at the little girl, feeling she looked very cute, so he said, "How cute!"
"Thank you, brother!" Aning thanked him sweetly.
"By the way..." Lingpingan reached out and touched little Aning's head, and then asked the barbecue restaurant owner: "Guest, what kind of exercise book do you want?"
"Is there a national examination?"
"Yes!" Lingpingan nodded, and then looked at the other party in surprise: "Guest, do you plan to apply for the official position?"
The national examination is the main way for the federal empire to recruit civil servants and grassroots officials.
It was changed from the previous imperial examination.
It's just that Emperor Taizu's system is that everyone must work at the grassroots level!
The so-called fierce generals must start in the army, and the chiefs and assistants must rise in the states and counties.
He mandated that all cabinet members and state and county officials must have complete resumes.
As a result, two parallel systems emerged in the federal empire.
There is a folk proverb that says: The general election selects policies, and the national examination determines the prime minister.
Therefore, the federal empire’s national examination is very difficult!
Nowadays, basically only graduates from first-class universities have the courage to apply.
Anyway, I don’t dare to go to Lingpingan – I can’t afford to lose that person!
The other party seemed to be taken aback, and immediately denied: "No... I have little talent and little knowledge, how dare I have such an idea?"
"I just wanted to buy some and exercise them so as not to be eliminated!"
How dare He accept this?
Don’t want to live anymore?
Participate in His examination and become His official?
The outer gods would immediately crush such a blasphemous insect like him to death!
Hearing this, Lingpingan was in awe and said: "My guest, you are a true gentleman!"
The other party smiled and said quickly: "Ah, I just want to make progress..."
"So, I took the liberty to visit..."
"I hope you won't be offended..."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
Just like young people in ancient times, they were asking for advice and copies of books from local celebrities who had rich collections of books.
This made Lingpingan's favorability increase even more.
So, he picked up two cups, gave them to the two guests, and made a cup of tea. While making the tea, he said: "Please sit down, you two..."
"Thank you!" The owner of the barbecue restaurant hugged his sister and sat on the sofa.
His eyes looked at this bookstore.
The powerful spiritual sense of the Old Ones clearly perceived the great and immortal power existing in this terrifying bookstore.
Time and space, in a sense, are stagnant here.
Of course, it can also pass quickly.
All of this depends on Him - the great and immortal origin of all things, the ultimate existence of the truth of the universe, the Supreme Being who can decide everything with a single thought!
The Key of Silver is the servant responsible for supervising and sorting out time according to His great will.
And in this ultimate place that exists entirely according to the will of the Supreme Being.
His loyal servants are always on standby.
The Old Ones had already felt that the terrifying wills of several people far more powerful than him had paid attention to him.
They exist under the floor, lurking in the wallpaper, crawling in the cracks of the ceiling.
They are all waiting for orders.
That command might be a thought, a look, or just a seemingly meaningless action.
but……
It will all be interpreted!
These beings who have served the Supreme Being for who knows how long are His most loyal servants.
Therefore, the owner of the barbecue restaurant is very nervous now.
His soul was trembling.
Because He knows very well that although He is worshiped and worshiped by countless races in countless worlds.
Considered the Father and Savior, the final Judge and Destroyer.
but……
it's here……
He is just an insignificant insect who can be trampled to death anytime and anywhere!
A single-celled lower organism.
Insignificant rubbish!
But Aning didn't know this.
She looked around the bookstore curiously.
In her innocent and simple eyes, everything she saw was so novel.
"Wow!" Aning clapped his hands and said, "Brother, the brother here has a little kitten!"
"It's so cute!"
Zhou Ke could only smile and said: "Yes, he is very cute!"
Meow!
Hearing the praise, the kitten raised its head and looked at the pink and jade-shaped little girl with its amber cat eyes.
It can feel that this little girl is a little special.
She is not a human being, but she has no psychic energy fluctuations in her body.
Besides, it was the person sitting next to her.
Best recognized Him.
only……
Best lowered his head gently. He didn't want to care about these things, and there was no need to care about them.
The master's footsteps came from far and near.
Best raised his head and looked at his master.
He could feel the danger of the thing the master was holding!
Terrible power is filled with it.
Endless howls of terror filled the inside and outside.
It was a ticket, a ticket to an extremely terrifying and dangerous world.
And that world, even for the old rulers, was a dangerous enough world.
Although Best didn't know what kind of world it was.
But he understood that a weak true god like him would probably be nothing more than cannon fodder there!
Zhou Ke also turned his head.
He looked at the Supreme One who was walking towards Him holding a card filled with endless wailing and anger.
The misty eyes of the Supreme One were filled with fire.
He shuddered subconsciously.
……………………
Lingpingan took the exercise book in his hand and handed it to the barbecue restaurant owner.
He smiled and said: "Guest, what do you think of this exercise book?"
He said: "This is an exercise book that has been sought after by countless national examination candidates and is known as a complete guide to the national examination..."
Zhou Ke listened, and his eardrums stung.
He looked at the card shrouded in endless black mist.
He took it over cautiously.
It was so hot that it would tear His heart out!
Zhou Ke knew immediately that this was a ticket to an ancient battlefield.
It is His calamity and His opportunity.
If he could come out alive, then he might have some qualifications to compete with the outer gods.
And this is what he dreams of.
Get a qualification!
So Zhou Ke immediately thanked you: "Thank you so much!"
He knew very well that this Supreme Being was immersed in a beautiful dream.
Therefore, He can rely on the current method to take advantage of the situation.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, He would never have this opportunity!
Because He is just an insect!
But, even so, there is still a price to pay!
So, Zhou Ke asked with a smile: "How much?"
Lingpingan listened and laughed: "Forget about the money..."
It’s just an exercise book, worthless!
"How is this possible?" Zhou Ke became nervous. He knew what the price would be.
Here, everything is priced.
The amount and amount of money is not what matters.
The key is that the price has already been set.
But compared to paying in real money.
The scariest thing here is free and gifts!
Because, for this Supreme Being, except for a few mortals, I am afraid that any other free gift has already been marked with a sufficient price in secret!
And those costs are usually expensive and dangerous.
In the universe, everyone knows one truth - free is the most expensive!
Lingpingan looked at the barbecue restaurant owner who wanted to be polite to him and said with a smile: "Don't be polite..."
"Next time I order takeout from your store, just give me some food..."
The barbecue restaurant owner’s barbecue skills have been personally certified by him.
In the future, I believe there will be many opportunities for contact.
Therefore, a worthless exercise book really doesn't matter.
"Give me some..." Zhou Ke's face stiffened.
really!
The free ones are the most expensive!
but……
What could he do? Say no?
That is courting death!
Not only cannot we refuse, we must also thank you.
Thank you for this kindness, thank you for this reward.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.
He clearly sensed that countless existences were staring at him.
This great reward, this supreme glory, already belongs to Him!
So, He immediately said with a forced smile: "Next time you come to my store to order, I will definitely give you the best..."
Those beings closed their eyes with satisfaction.
Because of His knowledge and interest, and also because of His wisdom.
This is a good job that many people want but cannot get!
"Then I won't disturb you anymore..." Zhou Ke picked up Aning and bowed to say goodbye.
Lingpingan nodded: "Please walk slowly..."
So, he personally delivered the brother and sister to the door.
