Han Li carefully pushed open the glass door and walked in while trembling with fear.
Meow!
Just as she entered, a black kitten poked its head out from the corner of the counter.
The amber cat eyes were sizing her up maliciously.
It made Han Li feel goosebumps all over her body.
"Bastet!" She heard the strange man call out softly.
The black kitten obediently landed on the strange man's shoulder.
In the fog, the fire in her eyes gradually lit up.
Han Li carefully raised her head and met the kitten's eyes head-on.
In a trance, Han Li seemed to see the shadow of a pyramid reflected behind the kitten.
Bits of starlight lingered around the pyramid. In the starlight, there seemed to be countless mortals praying, praying, and pleading. All kinds of wishes interweaved around the pyramid to form a sacred epic.
It was an incomparably ancient hymn.
It was also the accumulation of countless years.
Han Li quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to look again.
… …
Ling Ping'an looked at the girl in front of him.
She seemed to be a little afraid of strangers.
She was very reserved the moment she entered the door. Her expression seemed to be a little timid or afraid.
"Is it because of the book you bought last time?" Ling Ping'an guessed in his heart.
In his opinion, this girl should be working hard to digest the knowledge of that book and seriously learning the techniques in it during the past few days.
This could be seen from the girl's outfit.
Today, she was still wearing that strange black tight suit and a thin black veil.
However, her temperament and image were worlds apart from the last time.
Not only was she less raw, but she was also more mature. There was even a hint of charm all over her body.
This meant that she had seen the book.
She had already obtained the essence of the character!
This made Ling Ping'an feel somewhat gratified.
But it was probably because of this that this girl and her family had some conflict? So she had no choice but to visit late at night again?
Ling Ping'an could imagine that the family that could raise the girl in front of him must be a typical old empire.
The old empire was the most conservative group of people in the Federation.
They believed in ancient morals and values and wished that loyalty, filial piety, propriety, and righteousness could be written into the Magna Carta of the Federation.
Therefore, there was no need to talk about role-playing for his children and descendants.
Perhaps, if their children dared to not grow up according to the path they had set, they would be troubled in every way.
Didn't such parents often appear on TV?
Domineering, rude, conservative, and unreasonable.
Fortunately, these people had been hung up and hammered by the founding emperors of the Federation for decades.
Taizong and Gaozong followed suit.
Finally, they were convinced and accepted the ethical values of modern industrial society.
They were forced to recognize and obey the Magna Carta and the spirit of women's liberation.
Otherwise, perhaps these fellows would still treat women like they did hundreds of years ago. Perhaps even their sons would be their tools.
Of course, the old empire wasn't completely useless.
These people believed in collective strength and were the staunchest supporters of the Federal Empire's unified system.
In the Federation's foreign wars and domestic development, they were the group of people who had sacrificed the most blood and blood.
Moreover, because they were exceptionally united and their actions were off the charts, both the Datong Party and the Gonghe Party had to cater to the preferences of these people to prevent them from voting for the opposite party.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an more or less felt sympathetic.
He knew how painful it was for the children of the Old Empire.
When he was in school, a few of his classmates came from families of the Old Empire.
In Ling Ping'an's impression, they were almost all crazy fully-automated humanoid learning machines, terrifying bookworms, and homework freaks.
Their lives were so boring that they could be used as firewood to burn.
Their lives were spent in learning, learning, learning, and learning.
What was even more terrifying was that when these people grew up, they would impose their former lifestyle on their children in a domineering and tyrannical manner.
It was too terrifying!
In any case, Ling Ping'an felt that if he lived in such a family, he would probably suffocate in a second.
What was the point of living a life that couldn't slack off, play games, and write novels?
Therefore, Ling Ping'an greatly praised the girl's rebellious spirit.
Of course, he also understood that it was difficult for an upright official to settle a family feud.
Moreover, he wasn't even an official.
After deliberating over his words, Ling Ping'an asked, "Was the book from last time helpful to the customer?"
… …
Han Li heard the strange man's question while trembling with fear.
"Was the book from last time helpful to the customer?"
The 'Lower Abyss Research Report', which had been quiet ever since he entered the mist, started to get excited when he heard those words.
Han Li could feel that the pages of the book were boiling hot, and worm-like things were twisting crazily.
Thus, she knew how to answer.
She bowed deeply and thanked, "Thank you for your generosity... I was fortunate enough to read such a profound and mysterious holy book!"
The book on her was very satisfied with her answer.
Therefore, it immediately quietened down.
Even the temperature became calm all of a sudden.
This made Han Li breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she also felt a little uneasy.
She carefully raised her head and said, "I took the liberty of coming here this time because I want to buy another book from you..."
"I hope you can agree!"
Ling Ping'an frowned slightly when he heard the other party's words. He felt that this little girl was a little too chuunibyou. It was just a book, and it was even a holy book!
However, he could understand.
On the forum, a group of men still called the paper people 'wives' all day long!
It was just that... role-playing was a new thing.
To be honest, there weren't many books on this topic in his bookstore.
Other than the entry-level reading book "The Secrets of Role-Playing", there were a few relatively thick tomes.
Those tomes were not only much more expensive, but they were also probably not very friendly to newcomers.
He thought for a moment and reminded her out of kindness, "Customer, in my opinion, I'm afraid you don't need to come into contact with those more profound content for the time being..."
He carefully reminded her implicitly, "Some things, if you come into contact with them too early, it will be disadvantageous..."
"What do you think?"
… …
"Customer, in my opinion, I'm afraid you don't need to come into contact with those more profound content for the time being..."
"Some things, if you come into contact with them too early, it will be disadvantageous..."
"What do you think?"
The strange man's voice was gentle and soft.
But to Han Li, it was as if he had seen through her at a glance.
Of course, Han Li knew that the current her couldn't even control the book in her arms.
If he could get his hands on those profound 'books', then …
For example...
The upper abyss research report...
He was afraid that the moment he obtained it, he would be driven mad by the crazy knowledge and forbidden content!
After all, the current her almost collapsed when she heard about the Spiritual Advancement Potion.
Therefore, she immediately bowed and begged, "You're right!"
"That knowledge is indeed too profound for me …"
"If I were to come into contact with it rashly, the consequences would be too great …"
Ling Ping'an listened to the girl's words and looked at her sincere expression.
Once again, he praised in his heart, 'As expected of a child raised by the Old Empire.'
"Even the rebels are so well-behaved and polite …"
