Category: Light Novel-Original Fantasy.

【Introduction】

As an ordinary bookstore owner.

Ling Ping'an's biggest wish in this life is to live a life of idleness and wait for death, and to win by lying down and waiting.

However, there are always some customers in the late stage of middle school syndrome who come to the store late at night.

In order to sell his business, Ling Ping'an had no choice but to adopt the tone of a middle school student and work hard to promote the books in his store.

After working hard and talking a lot to sell the book.

But these guys all said that they didn't bring any money.

He actually wanted to use some divine power, immortal artifacts or other props as collateral for the payment.

Looking at these customers, Ling Ping'an was helpless and could only agree.

But he had no idea that every book these customers bought from him had changed its appearance.

"Secrets of Role Playing" became "Report from the Lower Abyss."

"Stellaris: Mechanical Ascension Official Setting Collection" is actually "Mechanical Gospel".

Moreover, in the eyes of these customers, he is actually an extremely terrifying evil god, an indescribable being who rules over all the worlds.

In response, Ling Ping'an said: I am not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.

【Golden Ten Chapters】

Chapter 1: A Late-Night Customer. This is a long chapter, 7257 words. After the protagonist Ling Ping'an took over the Qiyuan Bookstore, business has been declining, and it has been closed for almost a month. Late at night, the demon hunter Han Li arrives at the bookstore in the fog and discovers that the owner exudes an indescribable horror, and the books he sells are related to ghosts and evil spirits. She is forced to offer her most precious spirit blade in exchange.

Chapter 2: Exorcist Potion. Han Li exits the bookstore, the fog dissipating, revealing a devastated world behind her. Drawing on the information in the book, she learns how to exorcise spirits and create medicine. The protagonist awakens from the bookstore and heads to the street for breakfast. A battle between the salty and sweet tofu pudding is about to ignite.

Chapter 3: The Magical Leaf. The post-cataclysm world is desolate and rife with danger. In the most dangerous area, Han Li leaps from a rooftop, following the instructions in the Crimson Book to slay monsters and obtain a magical herb. The protagonist, however, lazily dazed, accidentally drinks the magical leaf Han Li left behind.

Chapter 4: The Fusang Girl. The Fusang Kingdom wishes to join the Federal Empire, and a referendum is about to be held. The Fusang Girl comes to the protagonist, urging him to support. This is impossible. Han Li has already gathered the spirit-eliminating potion and painstakingly brewed it. After thickening the sauce with starch, she drinks it all in one gulp. It seems that the evil spirit within her body has been exorcised, but the truth is not necessarily so.

Chapter 5, Elizabeth. The variety shows lately have been terrible, and the protagonist, unable to bear it any longer, turns off the TV and continues drinking the magical tea leaves. Han Li resolves to contribute his unique secrets for research. Somewhere in North America, Elizabeth, a cyborg warrior girl, is attacked by the offspring of an evil god, only to be carried away by a sudden thick fog.

Chapter 6, Mechanical Ascension. Elizabeth also arrived at Qiyuan Bookstore and saw the protagonist's face hidden in the darkness, unrecognizable, a scene both mysterious and terrifying. Based on her identity, the protagonist asked about several terms, all unfamiliar to her. Terrified, she silently accepted the book.

Chapter 7, The Mechanical Gospel. This chapter is incredibly childish, with all sorts of random magical slogans that leave Elizabeth bewildered. Especially when she hears "Thank you, 250 yuan," she's completely lost for words. She leaves her most precious possession as collateral and, armed with the flashlight the protagonist gives her, leaves the bookstore and the fog.

Chapter 8, Noise in the Dream. Elizabeth returned to her own world and shouted all the slogans taught to her by the protagonist, and her mechanical body actually grew skin. The protagonist played a few more rounds of the Canyon of Kings, beat the rookie all night, and fell asleep with the same dream again. The dream was full of noises. When he woke up, he found that he had accidentally drunk the soda that was stuck to the crystal left by Elizabeth. Chapter 9, The Japanese girl with a tail. The protagonist found that there was a golden shadow in his pupils, and thought it was excessive heavy metals, so he didn't take it seriously. But when the Japanese girl appeared again, he saw that she had a tail behind her, which was very strange. After the girl left the bookstore, she secretly thought that her disguise had been seen through by the protagonist, and whether she should report it to the organization.

Chapter 10: Is Being Single Illegal? The protagonist is the orphan of a Class A meritorious official. At 24, he's the only one in the Federal Empire who hasn't been in a relationship. The royal family has repeatedly urged him to marry, inviting him to matchmaking conventions and promising him generous subsidies from dating to having children. But the protagonist remains unconcerned, insisting that being single is not a crime and that the game is fun.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Blind Leek, a level 1 author, only has this book to his name.

The author claims to be a loser with more than ten years of experience, but I didn't check who his real name is.

This book participated in the [2020 King of Online Literature, Emperor Four Emperors Writing Competition], was launched on Friday, and was recommended on the official APP splash screen.

This kind of treatment is usually only given to authors above the level of "Great God", which shows that his main account should be that of a celebrity.

This book currently has 6.13 collections on Qidian.com, 2808 collections in the bookstore, and 9.26 fans.

All the data have surpassed the new book "I Really Don't Want to Fall in Love" published on the second account of Sister Bride. It is conservatively estimated that among the works to be released this Friday, "I'm Really Not a Demon God" should be able to take the top spot.

summary of the story
This book mainly tells the story of two worlds.

One is the federal world before the catastrophe where the protagonist is located, and the other is the extraordinary world after the catastrophe.

The connecting point between the two is the Qiyuan Bookstore opened by the protagonist.

The mysterious eyes in the bookstore are activated by the protagonist, releasing the power of the evil god, making the guests who come to the bookstore feel deeply terrified and indescribable.

Only the protagonist was foolish enough to think that these guests were crazy, so they refused to pay and instead left some strange items as collateral.

Character characteristics
The protagonist currently looks like a otaku who would rather order takeout, play games, and write novels every day than think about improving the sales of the bookstore.

He is a typical internet expert with a rather unique way of thinking. He has no doubt about the true identities of those guests.

Even when I discovered the tail of the Fuso girl, I just treated it as cosplay.
Style characteristics
The style of this book is rather strange, and the elements are complex. It can be regarded as a world of high-level martial arts, urban superpowers, Cthulhu, Western mythology, etc.

The elements are rich, the styles are varied, the plot looks exciting, and the highlights are indeed quite trendy.

But I still insist that this is a vest of a big boss.
