Chapter 1 The Unremarkable Bookstore Owner
Beihe City, Xiacheng District.

It was a night like any other.

Bai Yue stood behind a glass door. The young man raised his head and looked at the metropolis suspended above his head in a trance.

The night was dimly dyed by the ubiquitous neon lights, and the changing lights penetrated the room from Bai Yue's side condescendingly. The light beams rippled with dust, illuminating the mahogany counter behind the boy and the medium-sized bookshelves.

This is a small bookstore.

Four or five rows of two-meter-high bookshelves are crowded in the shadows. The wooden bookshelves look quite old, perhaps because of the rainy day. A vague musty smell floats in the air, and yellowed books are piled here and there. On the table, it seemed that no one had cared about it for a long time.

This is a small bookstore that has been completely abandoned by the times.

"It's been two or three days since I came here..."

The young man whispered like a dream, and the noise of the turbine's rolling air flow poured into his eardrums. He saw countless strange vehicles leaving light trails in the sky, and then they were easily swallowed by the monster-like Shangcheng, completely Disappear into the night.

"In any case, the corpse of my previous life is probably already cold..."

Bai Yue withdrew his gaze and let out a weird laugh: "Ha...it just so happens that I have no relatives, so I can just leave the body to the landlord to have a headache."

"Boss, come over and pay!"

At this moment, someone greeted him from behind. Bai Yue turned around and saw an unshaven middle-aged man knocking on the counter of the bookstore.

"Come on, come on." Bai Yue sat back behind the counter in a familiar manner, raised his head and glanced at the book in the other person's hand: "This is a discounted book in our store. It only costs 98 Chinese dollars. Scan the QR code or cash?"

"It's easier to scan the code." The uncle put down the book and took out his personal terminal: "But boss, are the plots in this book "The Romantic Life in Another World After the Magic Swordsman Was Kicked Out of the Team" enjoyable for readers to experience? "

Hearing this, Bai Yue looked through the original owner's memory and realized that this was a Dongguo novel that the original owner had received from a certain evil supplier.

The plot is probably as follows - the protagonist Asasi was rejected and humiliated by his adventure partners because of his garbage talent. After being kicked out of the adventure team, he accidentally awakened the heaven-defying system, and then conquered a group of harems and began to go dark and take revenge. 'story.

Good guy...pure outdated Dongguo toilet paper...

Bai Yue secretly twitched his lips, but as a sincere bookstore owner, he immediately gave a sincere response to the customer in front of him.

"Hey, customer, you don't know something. This is our store's No. [-] best-selling system growth article!"

The black-hearted boss suddenly started talking non-stop: "The righteous and kind-hearted protagonist was insulted and backstabbed by his vicious companions. Just when he was lost and fell into a trough in life, the protagonist suddenly awakened to the skill upgrade system. From then on..."

"Okay, okay, don't spoil it boss, I want to experience it myself." The uncle waved his hand to interrupt Bai Yue's statement, then he picked up the book and left with a happy face.

"Welcome to visit you next time." Bai Yue sent the guest away with a smile, then took out his personal terminal and saw the number on the account jumped, from five hundred to 590 eight...

"I've made another profit. At least I don't have to worry about the water and electricity bills this month." The young man breathed a sigh of relief and closed the door of the bookstore.

The small bookstore fell silent again.

"Next, we have to consider the food expenses and the cost of purchasing goods, but..." Bai Yue sat back at the counter and glanced at the old bookshelves: "The original owner has not sold the goods he purchased before."

After traveling for a few days, Bai Yue gradually adapted to the life of the original owner.

When a third-rate bookstore owner sells some third-rate toilet paper novels, he lives at the bottom of the city and leads an ordinary life exactly like most people.

Fortunately, although this bookstore is small and shabby, the bookstore itself belongs to Bai Yue, and the boy can be considered a warm place to stay.

But Bai Yue naturally didn't intend to just go on like this. He decided to run this small bookstore well. At least it had to sell some serious and valuable books on Yanguo culture. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make much money just by relying on some Dongguo toilet paper. interests and reputation.

Thinking of this, Bai Yue simply opened the address book in his personal terminal, and soon found the avatar of the supplier Lao Wen among his few friends.

Lao Wen's avatar is him, a handsome young man in his 30s or [-]s wearing a black coat, round sunglasses, and a ponytail.

This person is considered a supplier that the original owner is familiar with. After all, I am afraid that this is the only supplier that the original owner knows...

Bai Yue chose to call without hesitation, but what he got was a voice prompt of 'The other party is on the call, please contact him later'.

"This shady businessman is probably bargaining with other buyers... Forget it, wait a minute." Bai Yue turned off the communication interface and habitually opened the online news homepage in the terminal, intending to kill some news. Time, and learn some basic common sense about this world.

Soon, a column of text at the top of the interface caught Bai Yue's attention.

'Yanguo No. 90 No. [-] survey team unearthed important clues to the mysterious country in the deep world! '

The young man's fingertips touched the text, and strange and strange information instantly filled the screen.

Yanguo officials have taken over the survey site as soon as possible. Liang Qiuli, the team recorder, said that the country's history is full of civilization relics of astonishing scale, and it is expected to become another deep livable place for mankind.

The Grand Inquisitor announced that officials will announce to the public the name of the country, some historical materials, and pictures of the survey site in one month.By then, the review and selection of works anchoring the country will be carried out spontaneously by each province and city.

At the same time, officials from Victoria, East China, and Colombia submitted applications for work creation to the National Council, and the results of the applications are currently pending...'

"Deep world...mysterious country...historical materials...work review..."

Bai Yue murmured, and line after line of conspicuous fonts reflected in the young man's dark eyes. Bai Yue couldn't take his eyes off these official news that ordinary people were accustomed to.

"What a strange world..." The traveler in a foreign land sighed. Just as Bai Yue was about to read the next message, he saw the communication interface of his personal terminal light up.

Lao Wen called.

“Welcome boss to Laowen Grocery Store!”

The next second after Bai Yue answered, a powerful voice suddenly came out through the screen: "Wait a minute, boss, I wonder what kind of goods you plan to buy? I have classic masterpieces, best-selling discs, famous paintings, and historical relics here. , second-hand airships, daily necessities, and popular snacks are all available in large quantities! Just waiting for your choice!”

"Good guy, what you sell here is really comprehensive..." Bai Yue was shocked at the time, and quickly changed his focus: "Do you have any easy-to-understand books?"

"Eh? Listen to this voice, you are the boss Bai, right?"

This time it was Lao Wen's turn to be surprised: "I remember that you just bought a batch of Dongguo novels from me not long ago, and they were sold out so quickly?"

"There is really no profit from selling those toilet... novels alone. I plan to buy some reference books about Yanguo history, world culture, encyclopedias, etc. to supplement the bookstore's appearance."

The young man explained casually, but he also hid a little of his thoughts.

As a time traveler, Bai Yue naturally needs a certain amount of world knowledge to hide his identity, and those professional tools and books are obviously the best channel for acquiring knowledge.

"You want a reference book... I have some here. I will send you a list of recommendations later. Just look at it and choose." Lao Wen didn't seem to think too much and agreed to Bai Yue's request.

"That's it, happy cooperation." Just when Bai Yue was about to hang up the call, Lao Wen's voice interrupted the young man's movements again.

"By the way, Boss Bai, in addition to the reference books, I also have a batch of new products here. I wonder if you are interested in knowing about them?
There seemed to be a hint of smile in the other party's tone: "Believe me, the profit from selling this new batch of goods will definitely exceed your imagination..."

Hearing this, Bai Yue raised his eyebrows. The other party's words were obviously tempting.

Haha...this black-hearted supplier is not going to take me for granted... Bai Yue sneered silently, and then asked in a normal tone: "What new product?"

"Boss Bai, you should know the latest official news."

Lao Wen smiled and threw out a piece of information: "Our Yan Kingdom's survey team has dug up clues to the new world in the deep layers."

"Of course I know." Bai Yue said calmly, "But what does this have to do with me, an ordinary person?"

"Of course! You are the bookstore owner. Judging from the official basic rules of the world, you are also a part of anchoring the foundation of the world!" Lao Wen laughed boldly.

Bai Yue did not make any response, letting the other party laugh dryly on the other end of the phone.

"Why don't you agree with me... Forget it, I won't be too close to you. The new products I have here are naturally closely related to the world newly discovered by the official."

Facing the silent Bai Yue, Lao Wen's tone finally became serious: "Have you ever heard of... the legend of the Golden Kingdom that never sleeps?"
