Chapter 84: Variant Characters
Ling Pingan held the freshly brewed tea in his hands as he sat at the counter and sighed.
That night, he had overturned all the results of his efforts on the previous night.
The reason was quite simple.
He read the manuscript once and felt that it was awkward.
So, he knew that he would definitely fail.
He looked at the docunt that had been deleted again on the screen and sighed. “Writing a new book gives a headache!”
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have written the ending for the previous book…”
This way, he could continue working by fits and starts while spending his day happily.
He didn’t need to spare so ti every day to write the beginning of the novel, like what he was doing.
He looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already eleven o’clock.
Ling Pingan stood up and walked to the door of the shop. He was about to close the door and head upstairs to sleep.
Then he saw a figure that seed to be approaching him in the distance in the fog.
So, he stopped.
“A custor or a passer-by?” He was curious.
Coming to think of it, the custor that pledged his wristwatch a few days ago had not returned to get his watch back.
Probably he was lost in the ga of Stellaris, and was trying to get Gold…
Ling Pingan thought.
Stellaris was famous in the entire Federal Empire’s gaming world for the addiction it caused.
It was quite common to raid the dungeon, dozens to hundreds of tis just for a rare piece of equipnt.
It was also necessary to participate in large-scale team dungeon activities organized by the union on ti exactly like going to work, in order to obtain so-called team points to buy pieces of equipnt that were found only in team dungeons.
That was why Ling Pingan did not play the ga.
It was too scary!
Ling Pingan thought of the two guests from last night again.
They were both nice people!
Upright gentlen!
Especially that old man, Ling Pingan admired him very much.
Look at him, how trustworthy! The ancient Liu Xiahui was just so-so in front of him!
After waiting for a while, Ling Pingan saw a person walking over from the distant thick fog.
It was a young man wearing a set of exquisite vintage clothing.
As an author of web novels, Ling Pingan recognized it at a glance. It seed to be the black silk woven material from the Han dynasty. There was a standard Han dynasty red ribbon tied around his waist, and he wore a crown that seed to be of jade.
Just looking at it, Ling Pingan’s eyes lit up.
“Fat sheep! Big fat sheep!” He was eager to give him a try and rubbed his palms.
Everyone knew that the Han costu was a hobby that cost a lot of money. Not to ntion the accessories, any Han costu on the market could easily cost thousands.
If one were particular about it, it would cost thousands or even tens of thousands.
As he got closer and closer, Ling Pingan was overwheld with excitent.
That was because the clothes that this young man was wearing, no matter from which aspect, were all custom-made after going through a strict examination.
Custom-made clothes ant that they were expensive.
The strict examination showed that he was very particular.
That was a custor that he rarely t, and also a very generous custor!
Ling Pingan had heard that so bookshop had sold an original copy to a custor, who had a passion for ancient culture and traditions. What a guy, he had earned over ten thousand yuan in one go!
Over ten thousand yuan!
It was a huge inco after a long ti!
Of course, Ling Pingan’s shop didn’t have any ancient books of that value.
But…
There were several sets of popular books that were printed more than 100 years ago.
One of them was even worth 1,000 yuan!
If he could sell it…
Ling Pingan was about to drool.
… … ..
Liu Zhi looked ahead at the flickering light source in the depths of the fog.
He hesitated.
Because he saw a shadow under the light.
Without a doubt, it was a person.
Or a ‘humanoid’ monster.
“What is this place?” He looked around at the thick fog.
This thick fog gave him the feeling that it was an independent world.
It also seed to be a divine kingdom created by so diablos of Chaos.
Since the Kingdom of Xinghan was founded, it had dealt with many diablos of Chaos and their claws and servants.
In the palace, there was even a tradition of using the followers of Tzeentch.
The Kingdom of Xinghan was both wary and friendly towards the evil god of Chaos and their claws.
Just like those rat-n who assassinated him were refugees that his grandfather had taken in.
These people who called themselves the followers of the Horned Rat had co out from underground.
At that ti, the Kingdom of Xinghan was facing a serious threat from the goblin, Chan Yu from the northern grassland.
The ogre army under him had even threatened the safety of Chang ‘an.
In the end, it was thanks to the arrangent left by the ancestral dragon and with the deterrence of three Kirin worshipped by the royal family, that the invasion was forced back.
Therefore, even though they knew that those dirty rats would beco a disaster sooner or later, they had to drink poison to quench their thirst and use them to assassinate the officer and Noble of the Goblin, Chan Yu to delay the advance of the army.
“So, I am facing a diablo?” He looked at the figure under the light and thought, “it is very likely to be a new diablo?”
However…
“When did a new Diablo appear in the Void?!” He thought.
However, since he had already stepped into soone else’s territory, if he did not go over and see his thoughts and intentions, Liu Zhi knew that he would never be able to walk out of this fog.
So, he gathered his courage and slowly approached.
When he approached, the thick fog gradually dispersed.
A building that seed to make him extrely confused appeared in front of him.
It was a building that was completely different from the architecture of the Kingdom of Xinghan.
It was made of red bricks of a certain material, and its surface had so stones that were stuck to it.
A plaque of an unknown material hung at the door. Surprisingly, Liu Zhi could recognize the word written on it.
This was because there was a connection between it and the usurp writing and clerical script of the Kingdom of Xinghan.
“Qiyuan Bookstore?” Liu Chi frowned. He had received a formal and strict royal education since he was a child, so he quickly realized sothing was wrong. “or rather, it’s the ‘The Bookstore of Origins’!”
There were many variant characters in the Kingdom of Xinghan.
That was especially used in the upper echelons. They loved to do this kind of thing.
Did I write the wrong character?
No!
That was a variant character! Do you understand?
On the other hand, within the red bricks, stone slabs, and plaques, Liu Zhi’s had an instinct that there were countless monsters entrenched within them.
They lowered their ferocious tentacles.
They opened their terrifying mouthparts.
Under the cracks of the walls and plaques, the indescribable monsters emitted low, incomprehensible sounds.
It seed to be a warning, or perhaps it was to put a fear of them in him.
Under the plaque, a ‘person’ who was wearing clothes of an unknown material and seed to be slightly taller than him was already standing there.
To be more precise…
It should be Him!
Liu Zhi looked at him, who was under a certain light source.
The head that was shrouded in the fog was like an abyss that could not be looked at directly.
At this mont, he looked over.
He looked at Liu Zhi. In the head that was covered by the mist, two flas rose from what seed to be the eye sockets.
Liu Zhi looked at him, approaching. Then, he cupped his hands and said to Liu Zhi with a very traditional etiquette of Kingdom of Xinghan, “Welco to my humble store, dear custor!”
His voice was calm and powerful.
It was as if he had great power. When he spoke, the whole world fell silent.
