Chapter 175: Help Yourself and God Will Help You
Ling Pingan took a towel and wiped the coffee table.
Then, he apologized again to the customer, “Customer, I’m sorry…”
“Bastet has always been naughty!”
“It’s okay!” Han Li said.
But his eyes kept staring at the book under Ling Pingan’s armpit.
This made Ling Pingan a little proud!
As a player, it was a very proud thing to be praised for his game skills.
As an author, it was also a very pleasant thing to be praised by readers for the plot.
Similarly, as a bookstore owner, it was also a happy thing to be liked and looked forward to by customers for their books!
Therefore, Ling Pingan’s impression and favor for this customer improved.
He picked up a cup again and made a cup of tea for this customer. Then, he handed the book under his armpit to her and said, “Although I don’t know what your younger brothers and sisters want…”
“But I think this book can probably help them a little!”
This book was carefully selected by Ling Pingan.
Considering that the younger brothers and sisters of the customer might not be old, he tried his best to choose this book that was easy to understand and had a humorous tone.
The name of this book was “How to look at problems scientifically.”
It was a youth book recommended by the Federal Empire’s Ministry of Education.
Because this book touched the sensitive nerves of many old empire families.
For example, it taught its readers how to communicate with their parents. It even encouraged the readers to bravely resist authority.
Therefore, it was viewed as a flood and fierce beast by the old empires.
However, Ling Pingan felt that this was a very valuable book!
The old empires should also take a look.
What era was this!
They still carried on the same way they did 300 years ago!
Ruler, subject, father, son..
The most terrifying thing was that even now, these fellows still felt that nothing was important. The emperor was the most important!
Ling Pingan was about to be unable to complain!
Come on, the Emperor of the imperial capital was only a teenager this year. He hadn’t even grown his hair yet!
The Emperor, couldn’t he be a mascot?
Why did he have to propose ‘the emperor’s personal governance’ at the meetings of the empire’s scholars, ministers, and governors every few days? Was it interesting?
Even the emperor himself wasn’t willing!
In addition, these guys were all fans of feudal superstition.
They were the ones who made the most jokes on the news.
A group of billionaires, yet they believed in some Taoist priest or monk. They even had to hire people to open a business..
The f * cking empire’s rail cannon had been launched into the sky!
There were dozens of probes on the screen!
The farthest satellite had already flown into the asteroid belt twenty years ago.
Last year, the Federal Empire’s fusion ignition device in the southern Zhou had also successfully operated for twenty seconds!
These guys had turned a blind eye to all of this.
Thinking of this, Ling Pingan looked at the young girl in front of him.
He felt more or less gratified in his heart.
“I’ve done a good deed!” He thought. “I’ve successfully saved a young girl!”
“Maybe I can even awaken her younger siblings!”
… … … … … … ..
Han Li’s hands trembled as she took the book.
She took a deep breath.
She looked at the cover of the book.
There was no uneasiness in the book.
Words came out of the cover one after another.
In front of her eyes, the title of the book was combined: “The development and application of basic spirit power.”
She flipped open the book and golden words appeared in front of her eyes.
Countless knowledge danced in her eyes.
Spirit power knowledge was injected into her brain.
Thus, Han Li knew how to allow ordinary people to awaken spirit power and use spirit power without having to seal monsters or evil spirit in their bodies!
And there was more than one!
Although the requirements were a little harsh and the conditions were a little stricter!
But..
This was indeed a great path!
It was also humanity’s hope for the future!
With it… Han Li knew that from now on, humanity would no longer need to use their flesh and blood to fill the bottomless pit of monsters and evil spirit.
There was also no need to quench their thirst with poison and take large strides in the direction of certain death.
Humans..
Could be saved!
The world..
Could be saved!
With tears in her eyes, Han Li took the book and bowed deeply to the owner of the bookstore who was the Ruler of the Fog. “Thank you! Thank you so much!”
She clenched the book in her hand tightly. “I really don’t know how to thank you!”
Ling Pingan looked at the excited girl and quickly patted her shoulder to comfort her. “There’s no need for this, there’s no need for this!”
At the same time, Ling Pingan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “It seems that her family is quite strict with them!”
As for the old empire, every family treated their children as copies and replicas of themselves.
Many of the old empires simply used military methods to nurture and educate their descendants.
Therefore, in such a family, one couldn’t have hobbies that weren’t allowed.
Similarly, the forbidden books were also not allowed to be touched!
Just thinking about it, Ling Pingan felt that this life was extremely miserable!
At the same time, he was glad that he was not born in such a hellish family.
Thus, Ling Pingan said to this customer, “As for this book, I’ll give it to you…”
After all, the other party had brought mushrooms and rice wine today especially for him.
No matter what, he had to return the favor!
This was Ling Pingan’s principle.
“Thank you!” She bowed deeply once more. “Thank you so much!”
“I don’t know…” she raised her head and looked at Ling Pingan. “Do you have any requests for me, my younger brother and sister?”
Ling Pingan looked at her in astonishment.
“Requests?” He scratched his head. wasn’t this something that could only be mentioned by a superior to a subordinate and an elder to a junior?
He thought about it and felt that this little girl must have received encouragement and help from him because she met him when she was lonely and helpless.
So, she viewed him as an existence similar to her elder brother?
Thus, Ling Pingan looked at her seriously. “Customer, I hope that you and your family can always maintain your independent free will!”
“This is your most precious vigor!”
He recalled the night they first met.
The flustered and flushed young girl, her helpless appearance. And now, her increasingly confident expression.
This was indeed a precious vigor!
Ling Pingan was certain that this was also the tradition of the Gentlemen of the Federal Empire!
The life of a man was also upright, and the life of an unborn person was also spared!
Living in the vast world, establishing the right position in the world, and walking the Great Dao of the world!
Therefore, wealth and honor can not be promiscuous, power can not be subdued, and poverty can not be ashamed!
Therefore, a gentleman does not eat the food that comes without permission.
Therefore, men should not kneel because they have gold under their knees!
It was laughable that the old empires that claimed to be Kong Meng’s disciples and claimed to be loyal to the Emperor could not see this!
Their high-pressure education and another extreme so-called happy education.
Were equally annoying and bothersome in Ling Pingan’s eyes!
… … ..
Han Li clenched the book in her hand tightly.
She felt her body was warm.
She bowed again to thank him. “Thank you!”
Then, she walked into the depths of the fog.
She turned on the flashlight in her hand and lit up the road ahead.
Tonight’s fog, Han Li felt was thinner than before.
She thought of the book stores owner’s instructions.
“I hope that you and your family can always maintain your independent free will!”
“This is your most precious vigor!”
Han Li held the book in her hand.
She understood that she had been chosen not only because the owner of the bookstore wanted a chess piece.
It was also because of her free will and human free will!
An ancient proverb emerged from the bottom of her heart: humans must help themselves and then God will help them!
If she and her teachers, and the countless fallen heroes, had not stood their ground and had not stood united.
Well, then, the owner of this bookstore will certainly not like her.
Not to mention saving the world.
The fireball that fell from the sky would not have appeared.
That army of monsters from the other side wouldn’t have come.
Sooner or later, the monsters and evil spirit of Jianning County… would have summoned their master from the Abyss.
The terrifying burning giant, known as the Balrog monster, was enough to sweep across the entire world.
Not to mention that in the Abyss, the Balrog was only a high-level demon.
Above it, in the endless abyss, there were countless monsters that were more powerful and terrifying than the Balrog!
For example, the one she once met, who claimed to be the Queen of Darkness, the Spider Goddess!
“I will remember your lesson!” Han Li swore in her heart. “Humans and I will abide by your teachings!”
“We will never surrender!”
“We will fight to the end!”
She already understood that this way, the mysterious ruler in the bookstore would once again attack when humans were in danger of extinction, summoning his great clan tribe and army.
If she and mankind could not do this.
Then, what awaited them was destined to be destruction and extinction!
… … … … ..
Ling Pingan stood at the entrance of the bookstore and watched the figure of the customer gradually disappear into the depths of the fog in the distance.
He walked back and pulled down the shutter door.
Then, he looked at the basket and the porcelain bottle placed in the counter.
He walked over and picked up a mushroom from the basket.
This mushroom looked a little like the pine mushrooms from Yunnan province.
However, the color was silver, and the stalk was much longer!
He placed it in front of his nose and smelled it. A fragrance entered his heart!
“It must be very good for frying!” Ling Pingan said.
Meow!
The Kitten Bastet couldn’t wait, and meowed twice.
Obviously, it was extremely satisfied with this proposal and couldn’t wait for Ling Pingan to put it into practice!
Ling Pingan looked at this guy and shook his head. “Cats actually like to eat mushrooms?”
But thinking that this guy even drank tea, Ling Pingan wasn’t surprised.
After all, he didn’t have any pets.
He only heard that cats were very naughty and intelligent.
He opened the cork of the porcelain bottle again. Instantly, the entire bookstore was filled with a rich and intoxicating fragrance.
Ling Pingan smelled it and felt a little drunk!
Meow!
Bastet meowed again impatiently.
“You want to drink?” Ling Pingan asked.
Meow!
The little guy said hat he really wanted to drink!
“No!” Ling Pingan stuffed the cork back. “This wine, I have to put it away. We’ll talk about it when Auntie comes back!”
Meow!
The little guy couldn’t take it anymore and started to roll around on the counter.
“Then, shall we drink a little?” Ling Pingan suggested. “By the way, why don’t we roast a mushroom over a charcoal fire? !”
Meow!
The little guy resurrected on the spot and jumped onto Ling Pingan’s shoulder!
