Ling Ping'an happily clicked on the red packet that he had just received.
The first one was 888, the second one was 2688!
It was really huge!
Awesome!
Therefore, he immediately typed and flattered, "Aunty is well-versed in literature and martial arts. She has unified the world. Raw bird fish soup!"
"You're so talkative!" The other party quickly typed, "I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to take a shower!"
"I respectfully send you off, Your Highness!" Ling Ping'an typed again and sent an incense burning emoji pack.
Then, he held his phone and looked at the balance that had just entered the account. He couldn't help but whistle.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief for the next two months!" The young bookstore owner let out a sigh of relief.
One had to know that although he could receive a large amount of subsidies and allowances from the Ministry of Finance on time every month.
But there was still pressure on his expenses.
Not to mention other things, the monthly utilities and other miscellaneous expenses added up to two to three thousand yuan!
Although he didn't have to spend money because he ordered takeout every day.
But the three meals added up every day usually cost more than eighty yuan!
That was another two to three thousand yuan!
Moreover, he had no concept of money.
He had always been a spendthrift and did whatever he wanted.
He had to spend thousands of yuan every month for unplanned and unnecessary expenses!
However...
The young bookstore owner had never been concerned about these things.
His motto was, "A thousand gold scattered, it will come back again. His hair is loose, and he has a small boat."
As for troubles?
It didn't exist!
As a natural optimist, he had always been carefree and never worried about tomorrow.
"Tomorrow morning, I want to drink an extra bowl of tofu pudding!" He said seriously.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, meowed softly as if it wanted to ask for an extra meal!
"Hmm..." Ling Ping'an looked at it. "That's right... Little Darling should also have an extra meal!"
Meow!
The little guy was extremely happy. It jumped into its master's arms and rubbed against him intimately.
… …
Walking in the wilderness where the wind and sand raged.
Ran Bing walked resolutely.
The wind could not shake her steps, and the dust could not cover her eyes.
There was even a faint layer of spiritual light on the surface of her body.
This spiritual light formed a protective shield, blocking the sand and dust outside.
She kept moving forward, following the traces on the ground.
Claw marks spread in the dust towards the exposed ruins of a ship in the distance.
It was a former spaceship.
An interstellar spacecraft created by the Old World!
However, when the Old World collapsed, these behemoths that had once passed through the atmosphere suddenly fell.
Ran Bing heard that almost all the starships in the Old World had crashed.
In the face of disaster, these ultimate creations of mankind could not withstand a single blow!
Ran Bing looked at the wreckage of the starship in front of her. The huge hull, which was hundreds of meters long, had fallen to the ground.
It was smashed into several pieces!
Even so, its appearance was still intact.
Most of the ship's hull, which was made of a special alloy, was still intact.
She walked over, and when she got close, she looked up and saw the words painted on the hull: Challenger!
Even after so much time had passed, the letters printed on the hull of the ship were still clearly visible.
"Challenger?" Ran Bing licked her lips. "That once famous starship?"
Even today, the name of the Challenger Starship was still known to everyone.
As the most famous starship in the Old World, this legendary starship had high hopes!
This was because the Old World had chosen it as an experimental ship to head to Proxima Centauri!
Unfortunately, the Old World collapsed before the experiment could begin and the preparations were still in progress.
It seemed that this was the final home of this once legendary starship.
However, Ran Bing was not concerned about this.
She looked at the side of the wreckage of the starship.
Over there, there was an open door.
Many of the footprints disappeared in that direction.
"So..." Ran Bing thought, "This legendary starship eventually became the nest of the Scarlet Beasts?"
She shrugged and walked over with the revolver in her hand.
When she got close to the door, she found a dried corpse in the dust at the door.
"Mummy?" Ran Bing frowned.
As everyone knew, the dead after the collapse of the Old World would be petrified.
It was rare to find mummies or other forms of corpses.
So..
She squatted down and brushed away the dust covering the mummy. She saw the mummy\'s attire.
It was a male, wearing the Old World\'s space uniform.
There were stars on his shoulders.
One, two, three, four..
Ran Bing counted. There were a total of four!
Four-star admiral?!
A four-star admiral of the Old World?
That was an incredible big shot!
Ran Bing brushed away all the dust covering his body. Finally, she found a notebook in his hand that he was holding tightly.
Ran Bing gently picked up the notebook.
The notebook had been eroded by the wind, sand, and rain. Most of the contents were no longer recognizable.
However, on the preface page, there was a line of words written side by side in multiple languages that was particularly eye-catching.
"We are just ignorant people living in the dark fog of the universe. From the beginning, we should not have set sail!"
Ran Bing looked at the line of words that were specially written in her mother tongue.
Her brows were tightly furrowed.
Her intuition told her that this line of words was the clue that the four-star admiral of the Old World had risked his life to run out of the ship after the disaster!
Looking at this line of words, Ran Bing thought of the strange man in the fog.
"The Old World tried to set sail in vain..."
"Is that why it collapsed?"
She asked, but there was no murmur in her ears.
Obviously, the book would not tell her the answer.
She continued to flip through the notebook. Finally, she found a clear line of words on the last page.
Ran Bing tried her best to identify and spell out the words written in letters.
Fortunately, she had received language education and had studied several languages of the Old World. Therefore, she could read the meaning of these letters.
"Someone told me that the universe is a dark and dangerous ocean!"
"Every civilization that exists in this ocean is a terrifying predator!"
"That\'s why the universe we see is so quiet..."
"Because everyone is a hunter, and everyone is also a prey!"
"In this ocean, once any civilization reveals its existence, it will definitely be targeted by other civilizations!"
"Therefore, even those advanced civilizations don\'t dare to reveal their existence!"
"It\'s not only because there are other hunters in this ocean, but also because there are fishermen like humans in this ocean!"
"Big fish that expose themselves will definitely be placed on the fishermen\'s table!"
"And weak civilizations, such as ignorant fish and prawns in the ocean..."
"When a big fish passes by it, even if it is full, it will knock it out with its tail and drown it in the ocean!"
"So, I asked him, What about humans?"
"He smiled and told me, Humans? Have you heard of krill? "
The words at the back could no longer be recognized.
After flipping through a few pages, Ran Bing found a sentence that kept repeating on a torn piece of paper: He was right!
He was right!!!
He was right!!!!
Closing the notebook, Ran Bing stood up.
"So … this notebook is a record of a conversation between this four-star general and someone?"
"But..." Ran Bing looked at the wreckage of the starship in front of her. "Who is the person talking to?"
She thought about the description in the notebook and combined it with her own experience.
Ran Bing knew that the person who was talking to her might know the truth about the collapse of the Old World!
Ran Bing remembered the hazy scene she had seen in the bookstore.
A huge tentacle stretched out from under the earth and the sea.
The earth trembled, the sky shook, and the apocalypse arrived!
She let out a soft sigh and walked to the starship\'s door in front of her.
She had a premonition!
There must be more clues in this starship!
… …
It was eleven o\ 'clock!
There were still no guests that night.
However, Ling Ping\ 'an happily pulled down the shutter door.
Then, he put the kitten, Bastet, on the towel.
"Good night!" Picking up his phone, Ling Ping\ 'an said to the little guy.
Then, he turned off the lights, hummed a little tune, and slowly walked upstairs.
The stairs creaked and creaked, and the sound gradually disappeared.
Bastet lay on the towel and rubbed against the edge of the glass door beside her intimately.
Then, she let out a soft meow.
Meow!
A small flame fell from the ceiling.
The dark blue flame flickered.
The kitten looked at the little flame and slowly turned into a slim girl.
Her long black hair wrapped around her plump body.
Vaguely, her white jade-like body was as resplendent as a treasure.
"Master agreed!" She said to the little flame, "Add more food today!"
The little flame danced happily.
He couldn\'t wait any longer.
Master agreed to add more food!
That would be great!
An emerald green leaf quietly appeared.
The soft vines gently wrapped around the little flame, conveying its desire -- hunger! It wanted a piece of the pie!
The girl frowned slightly, as if she was a little troubled, but she had no choice but to agree. "Bring one back for it!"
The little flame swayed and reluctantly agreed.
In the next second, the dark bookstore returned to normal.
A kitten lay on the towel at the door.
At the corner of its mouth, tears were lingering.
It was waiting and looking forward to tonight\'s extra meal!
… …
In the 489th level of the Abyss, the demons of the Valley of Poison walked in this level of the plane as usual amid the rustling sounds of the Abyss worms chewing and breathing.
This was a masterless level of the Abyss.
Because its original lord, the Flame Demon Tarnheim, had been missing for many years.
But there was no sign that he had fallen.
Moreover, this broken place was too remote and barren.
The other lords who had the ability to occupy this place were unwilling to come, and those who wanted to come didn\'t have absolute confidence. (In the Abyss, once a lord started a military conquest, then his sworn enemies would definitely take action and do everything possible to stop him. Other than bloody battles, the nature of demons was internal strife!)
Thus, this level of the Abyss became a paradise for Tarnheim\'s subordinates.
They each occupied an area and attacked each other under the banner of Tarnheim.
Many ambitious people from other levels of the Abyss also came one after another and joined the civil war in the Valley of Poison.
This made the already barren plane even worse. There were fewer and fewer Demon Overlords who would be interested in this plane.
However, the demons living here were very satisfied with the current situation.
They even felt that the current situation couldn\'t be better.
Without anyone controlling them, everyone could freely choose their own way of life.
They could eat if they wanted and kill if they wanted.
It was great!
However...
At a certain moment, the entire Valley of Poison seemed to have sensed something.
Countless demons raised their heads. They saw that the eternal gray sky of the Valley of Poison seemed to have been dyed red by something.
A tremor that came from the depths of their souls made the demons panic.
In the entire plane, the countless abyssal worms screamed crazily at this moment.
Finally, the sky was completely dyed red!
A spark appeared on the surface of the ball.
Then, it quickly expanded to the entire sky. The entire world was burning at this moment!
The great ruler of the old days had descended!
This place had become his dining table!
All the demons of the Valley of Poison, including the abyssal worms, would be served to the dining table by him and slaughtered and eaten!
… …
Holding a revolver, Ran Bing walked into a broken cabin inside the starship.
When she walked in, all the lights in the starship that had crashed a long time ago suddenly turned on.
They illuminated the damaged cabin.
Dozens of people struggled to maintain their expressions and steps when they were alive.
But they had already turned into stone statues.
The kind that would shatter into powder with a light touch.
At the end of the cabin, there was a command and control touchscreen.
Ran Bing walked in front of it.
This touchscreen seemed to be still intact.
When she approached, the device was activated.
An electronic signal of snowflakes appeared on the screen.
Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz...
There seemed to be a blurry voice coming from the screen.
"What... is that?" Someone exclaimed!
"Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz..."
"What..."
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
"The starship has been invaded... monsters... buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz..."
Amidst these sounds, a blurry scene flashed across the screen.
On the side of the blue planet, huge tentacles were stretching out!
It was almost the same scene that Ran Bing had foreseen in the bookstore!
"Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz..."
"Krill..." a voice shouted in despair, "We shouldn\'t have sailed from the beginning!"
"Is it the voice of that four-star general?" Ran Bing thought.
Then, she turned around.
She raised the revolver in her hand.
Bang!
A bullet pierced through the thick cabin door and knocked a huge scarlet beast to the ground.
The murmurs in her ears came back again.
Amidst the buzzing noise on the screen, she whispered in Ran Bing\'s ear, "Kunyang people have been here!"
"Where?" Ran Bing asked.
Just like before, she didn\'t get an answer.
