Chapter 256 - Clearance Sale
Chapter 256: Clearance Sale
It was another morning.
Ling Pingan finished his breakfast and sat at the counter, looking at the draft he had written yesterday.
After two days of hard work, he had finally written a draft of 40,000 words!
The entire story was basically set in stone.
These 40,000 words told the story of the main character, Tang Xiao’an, three days after he obtained the ‘insect nurturing system’.
During these three days, the main character’s terminal illness was alleviated by binding with the ant colony.
At the same time, his physique was strengthened.
He obtained the strength of the ant colony, and his strength was eight times greater than an ordinary person!
At the same time, the ant colony also became stronger by plundering the genes of other insects.
Thus, the main character knew that he couldn’t stay in the human society for a long time.
Otherwise, he and his ant colony would be discovered.
Then, they would be dissected and studied!
Under the urging of fear, the main character used up all his wealth and bought a fishing boat. He brought the ant colony out to sea and arrived on a deserted island.
The story ended here.
Ling Pingan finished reading all the manuscripts and nodded. “I’ll revise them for two days before uploading them!”
This time, he was going to use his vest.
As for the main character and the ant colony’s future path, he was still thinking about it.
But he was certain that the main character and his ant colony were going to walk towards the stars and the sea.
The earth was too small!
As for how to get out?
This was the reason why he had to set up the system.
If there were some things that couldn’t be rounded, he would just push it to the system.
However, he had to pay attention to a certain method.
It was best if it was a method that many people knew and could accept.
“Let’s watch TV!” Ling Pingan, who hadn’t paid much attention to the outside world for two days, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
It was the morning news time.
“Today is the second day of the college entrance exam…”
“The examinees from all over the federal empire have once again rushed to the battlefield in anticipation of their parents and teachers!”
“It is reported that the math exam will begin this morning…”
“Let’s take a look at the expectations of the students from all over the world for this college entrance exam.”
Ling Pingan looked at it and couldn’t help but be stunned. “Has the college entrance exam already started?”
He didn’t feel anything at all.
Because there wasn’t a single customer in the bookstore who came to buy exercise books!
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case!
The college entrance exam of the Federal Empire actually evolved from the previous provincial examination.
The original contents of the college entrance examination were only three subjects.
Basic culture, mathematics, and physics.
Tai Zong added chemistry, while Gao Zong added geography and history.
A hundred years ago, the subjects were divided into two areas, humanities and STEM.
However, the status of the college entrance examination remained unchanged.
It was the status of the previous provincial examination!
It was for the country’s quality and talent, and it was for the country’s selection of talents!
Therefore, from the country to the citizens, everyone was very serious and attached great importance to it!
Whether it was the metropolitan territory or the overseas kingdoms.
The college entrance examination and the national examination were the focus of public opinion.
Even the general election had to be sidelined!
After all, the general election was only to select the cabinet.
The college entrance examination and the national examination determined the life of most people!
However, Ling Pingan felt a little embarrassed.
He looked at the stack of problem sets that had accumulated for more than a year in his bookstore.
He frowned.
“If we can’t sell them…” He said, “When the higher-ups carry out the college entrance examination reform, we won’t be able to sell these books at all!”
The college entrance examination and the national examination reform could not be avoided.
After all, whether it was the Republic Party that continued to govern or the Harmonic Party that came to power.
The reform of the college entrance examination and the national examination was something imperative.
Why?
One would know the answer by flipping open the book of songs.
Although the Zhou dynasty was old, its life was restored!
To the Gonghe party, this was the highest order.
If they didn’t reform, they would let down Zhou’s Emperor Zhaogong’s teachings. They would let down Taizu, Taizong, and Gaozong!
To the Harmonic Party, this was also a sage’s teachings!
Therefore, the college entrance examination and the national examination would all be reformed in the second year after every election year!
In any case, since the beginning of the era of constitutional government, this country had been like this.
The two factions would take turns to come to power, taking turns to reform.
And for Ling Pingan, this meant that if he couldn’t get rid of the problem sets that were about to become obsolete in the bookstore as soon as possible.
Then, these problem sets would all fall into his hands.
Once the news of the reform came out, or even once the election began, these problem sets would immediately be worthless!
He would lose a few thousand dollars for nothing!
He couldn’t bear it!
But what could he do?
Should he bring these books to the streets and shout?
Ling Pingan scratched his head. If that was the case, he would rather lose money!
That was because he orders takeout for all his meals and even sends all his laundry to the laundromat.
How could he go out to sell them?
It would be utterly impossible.
After thinking for a while, Ling Pingan said, “I’ll put up a notice at the door…”
Therefore, he took out a piece of white paper and wrote on it with a pen, “This shop has a large number of college entrance examination and national examination question books. They are sold at a 30% discount!”!
Well, the profit of things such as these exercise books was very low.
A 30% discount was basically a loss.
But..
What could he do?
In the era of the internet, everyone was aggressive, and everyone was answering questions on software.
Even if there was a 30% discount, it was still likely that no one would buy it!
“In the future, if I buy the exercise book again, I’ll become a dog!” The bookstore owner said firmly.
Then, he took the white paper and walked out of the door, pasting it on the glass door.
… … ..
Situ He looked at the replay on the screen.
This was the seventh time he had seen this clip.
The bookstore owner walked out of the door with a piece of white paper and pasted it on the glass door.
He sighed. Through the camera, he could clearly see the man frowning.
He zoomed in.
The contents of the white paper on the glass door could be clearly seen.
The store had a large number of college entrance examination and national examination problem sets, and they were sold at a 30% discount!
Every word was extremely clear.
It was dazzling to the eyes!
“College entrance examination, national examination…”
“Problem sets?”
Situ He frowned.
Of course, he knew what the owner of the bookstore sold!
Not to mention other things, just the two books in his hands alone.
They were books with such unbelievable power that they could be called Holy Scriptures!
Each of them had content that pointed directly to the Great Dao!
So..
The so-called exercise book, I’m afraid..
“Is it related to training?” The general of the Blackguard had to consider this possibility.
That was because, on the night of the last Teacher’s Day celebration, Situ He had already discovered that the spirit language had begun to actively reduce the danger level.
Although this also caused the strength contained in those words to begin to weaken.
It allowed more people to have the qualifications to listen.
And the number of sentences that could be heard also increased.
Thus, the progress of various research began to accelerate!
Especially research involving the civil field!
For example, the carbon-based chip research team led by Grand Maester Zhang Anwei, the leading figure in the fundamental materials science of the federal empire, found the key to breaking the door after listening to the spirit language clips for only two days, and soon began to experiment with the latest ideas of carbon-based chips in the laboratory.
It was said that as long as it was successful, it would be revolutionary!
At least the number of electronic components on the carbon-based chips could be increased from tens of thousands to 100 million!
In addition, the artificial intelligence research group had also made a breakthrough.
And the research on basic spirit power, which was the most important, had finally made progress!
So..
Situ He frowned. “He wants to cultivate the high-level combat strength of the Federal Empire?”
There was no doubt that the so-called exercise books in his shop.
Most likely, it had something to do with advancement and promotion.
It was understandable if one thought about it carefully.
It was understandable to change the college entrance examination and national examination to breakthrough and promotion.
Thinking of this, Situ He immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the branch of the Blackguard in Jiangcheng City.
“Chief Xia?”
“I am Situ He!”
“I order that from now on, all the Blackguard in Jiangcheng City will enter a state of Martial Law!”
“I order that from now on, all extraordinaires and foreign species in Jiangcheng city will be strictly monitored!”
“Especially those who have stepped into the streets of the East City District’s industrial park…”
“Activate the spirit power detector under the industrial park…”
“Monitor all extraordinaires and foreign species in and out 24 hours a day!”
After hanging up, Situ He stood up.
No matter what, no matter what that person’s intention was?
As the highest commander of the Blackguard, he had to ensure that the exercise book that was about to be released would fall into the hands of the federal empire and not the foreign countries or other forces!
As for..
What exactly was that person’s exercise book?
Situ He knew it was necessary to get someone to take a look.
Therefore, he picked up the phone and dialed another number.
… … … ..
Alucard opened his eyes.
He looked at the outside world from the scepter.
His mistress was watching cartoons.
A cartoon of this country.
In the end, she was just a girl.
Therefore, Alucard could understand.
He walked out of the scepter and came to his mistress’s side.
“Alucard, you’re back?” Yingu late looked up and saw the Blood River Overlord walking to her side, so she turned off the TV.
“Yes!” Alucard lowered his head and said, “There’s a drastic change in the nightmare world…”
He had just returned from the nightmare world.
The mysterious world that he had been in for decades had changed more than all the changes in the past combined.
Not only had the rules of the world changed, many things had changed as well.
More importantly..
He could already feel that the change was expanding.
The power of the ruler of the nightmare world was expanding at an alarming rate, continuously seizing the nightmare world.
The eastern man called Bodhisattva Dawei was powerful beyond imagination!
What was even more shocking was that the number of people in the nightmare world kept increasing.
Within a month, the number of participants in the Nightmare Realm had already reached tens of thousands!
What did this mean?
It meant that the Nightmare Realm was expanding its army.
What was the point of expanding the Army?
In the real world, expanding the army was to fight!
It was probably the same in the Nightmare Realm!
So..
Who did he want to fight? Who could defeat the all-powerful Nightmare Realm?
This made Alucard worried.
Because he knew that if that was the case, people like him would be pushed to the front line of the war and become cannon fodder!
And if he died in the realm of nightmare, he would probably end up like Evie.
Dead and his country destroyed!
Unfortunately, Yingu late could not understand the Nightmare Realm and its importance.
The duchess listened and only nodded her head, then, she said to Alucard, “Alucard, the mortals that we just sent to that street have come back to report that the entrance of that mysterious bookstore has posted a notice selling the so-called college entrance examination and national examination exercise books at a discount…”
Hearing this, Alucard immediately became nervous. “Really?”
“Really!” Yingu late nodded her head.
“Maybe this is an invitation letter…” Alucard looked up and said, “Mistress…”
“We may finally have a legitimate and reasonable opportunity to approach him!”
Yes!
He posted the notice himself.
Undoubtedly, whether it was according to the traditions and culture of this country, or the traditions and culture of land of Qin, this was an invitation.
An invitation letter inviting everyone who saw it, who was willing to come in contact with him and trade with him!
Even if the people of this country tried their best to stop it, they could not stop it.
Alucard could almost guess it now.
There was a big secret in that mysterious unknown bookstore!
Evie had fallen in his hands.
The beast sect and the witches of the feast had also disappeared in that bookstore.
Moreover, the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard showed no signs of making a move.
What did this mean?
It meant that in this city, in that bookstore, there was a terrifying existence that no one could fathom.
He could silently kill Evie and its origin.
Or he could quietly make the commander-in-chief of the beast sect and the thirteen witches of feast disappear from the human world.
In other words..
He was much more powerful than the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard!
So..
He (it) had to be approached!
He had to know the reason!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he died!
