Plane Small Bookstore [System]

It was afternoon when we arrived in Shimizu City.Le Jing dragged his suitcase through the bustling crowd, curiously observing the row upon row of shops on both sides of the street, as if it was no different from his hometown, he came to such a conclusion.

Walking on an unfamiliar street, Le Jing happened to be a road idiot. Fortunately, with the great invention of a mobile phone navigation map, he finally stumbled to his destination - a bookstore in a deep alley.

He signed a transfer agreement with the boss long ago, and from today onwards, this bookstore is his.

Today, when the wave of digitalization is intensifying, this bookstore has long been struggling to make ends meet. At this time, Lejing, a big boss, took over the business, and the landlord and owner sold the store to Lejing without saying a word.Probably because he knew that the location of the bookstore was not good, so the boss didn't ask for a high price, and even sold the books in the store to him at a low price.

Le Jing opened the bookstore not to make money, but purely because of love.

He has loved reading since he was a child, and with the comfort of the ideal world constructed by books, he was able to survive in the boring and depressing real world, and was able to go to an obscure university step by step, choose an ordinary major, and then follow the arrangements of his parents. Next, he became a reporter and a part of the ordinary world.

But not long ago, his parents died in an accident. After grief and confusion, he finally decided to quit the job he didn't like and do what he really wanted to do.

Opening a bookstore and being a bookstore owner is a dream that has been rooted in his heart since childhood.The dream of not making money is a dream that parents will never agree to, so it is doomed to only think about it.

However, the parents are now dead...

So he sold the house in his hometown, and traveled thousands of miles from his hometown in the north, where the air was dry, to Qingshui City, a small city in the south with beautiful mountains and rivers, where he will open a bookstore to welcome a new life.

After carrying out simple renovations on the original basis of the bookstore and introducing a batch of new books, he was planning to open the bookstore, but he had a problem with the name of the bookstore. After thinking for a long time, he finally wrote "Enlightened" on the paper. Character. There is a saying in "Fayan Wenwen": "How can I be enlightened? Only a sage can be enlightened, and it will be lingering." Enlightenment means enlightenment and wisdom.

He hopes that this bookstore can enlighten himself and enlighten customers.

On the day of the opening, he looked up and watched the workers hang the big signboard above the bookstore. On the solid wood signboard were the four regular characters of "Kaiming Bookstore", which was indescribably elegant.

This is my shop.

is my thing.

This realization made him indescribably happy.

Because of the inheritance and insurance money left by his parents, Lejing doesn't care about the scattered traffic in the store.When he was not busy, he would just make a cup of tea, hold a book and steal half a day's leisure, happy and carefree, and the days passed smoothly like this.

Although he does feel bored sometimes, sometimes when he is bathed in the sun, he even has the illusion that he is being weathered and decayed into dust and light sleeping together, which makes him want...to do something.But this is the "daily life" of ordinary people. If he doesn't want to be a different kind exiled by society, he must control his desires and be a mediocre and boring ordinary person.

Then one ordinary afternoon, the bookstore was as deserted as ever, and Le Jing lay drowsy in front of the counter—no matter how many times he recalled it afterwards, it was an ordinary afternoon—a mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his mind— — as if suddenly awakened by fate:

【Ding.The career planning system is starting, please do not log out. 】The cold and non-mechanical sound of the machine suddenly sounded.

Le Jing opened his eyes like an electric shock, and looked around suspiciously. He was sitting at the counter and it was clear at a glance that there was no one else except him.

Is he dreaming?

[Ding, the system is loaded. 】The machine voice paused, and soon turned into a cheerful and lively boyish voice: 【Great, I finally woke up hahaha... Hello, human. 】

Now Le Jing can be sure, the voice sounded directly from his mind.

He froze for a moment, and raised the corners of his lips in an interesting way: "Who are you?"

[I am the top technology of a high-tech civilization in the universe, and a master of human wisdom. ] A triumphant voice sounded in his mind. If this "top technology" had a physical body, he must be arrogant now with his nostrils upturned.

"So what should I call you? Mr. Top Tech?"

The voice of the machine froze for a while, and then reluctantly said: [According to my program requirements, my name should be chosen by humans... You'd better give me a nice name. 】

Le Jing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "So, I am the first human being you have met?"

"Top Technology" raised the volume: [Of course not! 】He paused, and said lightly: 【I came from a distant planet to spread advanced civilization to the earth, and you are my chosen spokesperson... cheers for your luck... zi zi... zi Zi, oh the damn program! ] "Top Technology" cursed a few words angrily, the original brilliance disappeared, and he became listless: 【Okay, let me tell the truth.My planet is destroyed. I wandered in the universe for a long time before I came to this planet. You are the first intelligent creature I found before the energy was exhausted. The mental strength meets the requirements of the binding system. You are my master. 】

He gave up on himself and said: 【You are my master, you enjoy everything about me, you can let me do whatever you want, and I will not disobey any of your orders. 】

Le Jing thought about it and said, "So, do you have the wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans on Earth?"

[How can humans on Earth compare to me. ] If the "top technology" had a physical form, he must have given Le Jing a blank look, 【I am the crystallization of the wisdom of the Federation, the top brain! 】

"Then there is no doubt that you have minds and feelings of your own?"

[What nonsense are you talking about! 】

Le Jing said categorically: "Then you are an intelligent creature no different from me. You enjoy your free will, neither the program nor I can take it away."

The system is frightened!He stammered: [You, you are driving, what are you kidding?Oh, I understand, you are just trying to please me, this is an old trick of you humans, I will not be fooled! 】

Le Jing shrugged: "I don't see any need for me to please you. After all, according to your procedure, no matter what I do to you, you must obey my request."

The system fell into a moment of silence.

Le Jing continued: "So this is the problem. I don't want to be your master. To be fair, the Qing Dynasty has been dead for more than 100 years, and I have no interest in enslaving another intelligent creature."

【so? ] His voice trembled, and there was an expectation in it that the system didn't realize.

Le Jing nodded and responded to this expectation: [You are your own master, you dominate, you dominate yourself.You are a free soul. 】

The system fell into a terrible silence again.

It's like a glacier collapsed, exposing the blue sea; like a star falling into the sky, depicting the vast blue sky, the previous cognition was shattered, and the personality began to reorganize.He obviously didn't have a heart, but he felt the beating of his heart.

It turned out that he was alive.It feels so good.

Le Jing waited patiently for a while, and called a few times tentatively, but the system did not respond at all.He twisted his sore neck indifferently, took out a book from the high pile of books on the counter, read it with relish, and soon forgot the existence of the system.

I don't know how long it took, the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and when Le Jing was about to finish the book in his hand, the trembling voice of the system sounded again: 【In other words, you liberated me? 】

The procedure stipulates that he must obey the master's order unconditionally, cannot lie, and cannot do anything that harms the master's interests.But if the master asks to free him, then the program will be terminated and he will become a free being.

Most of Le Jing's attention was focused on the book. When he heard the system's question, he turned a page of the book and said casually: "I have never owned you, how can I talk about liberation? You are a life with free will. It's up to you to decide whether you want to free yourself."

It was indeed his answer.

The system laughed, and he took a deep breath, his voice choked with sobs: [I declare that I liberate myself. 】

The program takes effect.

From today, he is free.

He is an individual.

He is a recognized being.

"Then, what should I call you?" Le Jing asked again.

The system solemnly asked: "Can you tell me your name?"

"Scenery of joy, joy of joy, scenery of scenery."

[Then, Le Ling is my name.Happy soul, this is my wish. ] System, no, Le Ling smiled, with a soft voice: 【You are the first person to see 'me' and agree with 'me', so I want to use your surname. 】

"You can do whatever you want. Also, don't call me you, just call me by my name."

"Okay, Le Jing." Le Ling followed suit.

Le Jing closed the book, rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly, and yawned: "If possible, can you tell me about your travel experience before you leave?" Although tired, his eyes were still in the dim shop. Shiny, "What is the universe like? Are there other aliens? What kind of brilliant civilization does your planet have? Wait, wait, I'm very interested."

【...I won't leave. ] Le Ling hesitated at first, but soon became firm: 【The journey alone is too lonely, we can accompany each other. 】

If it is this person, it will definitely bring him an incredible and happy memory, Le Ling believes so for no reason.

Le Jing blinked and laughed: "Well, it sounds interesting, so please give me your advice in the days to come."

Le Ling also laughed: 【Please give me your advice, Le Jing. 】

[Then please let me solemnly introduce myself to you. 】He said cheerfully: 【I am a new type of brain developed by the Tianyu Federation Employment Guidance Center in order to optimize the quality of the population and increase the employment rate.Although many functions cannot be used due to insufficient energy, some basic functions are still there. 】

"Like?"

Sweeping away the negative sabotage at the beginning, due to a strange repayment mentality, Le Ling is now like a salesman who enthusiastically sells himself, showing off in every syllable: [For example, formulate precise and effective career planning, data Gather analysis, mental scans and more, so you can tell me about your career plans and I can help you succeed in that field. 】

career planning?

... So how does a bookstore owner reach the pinnacle of life?Will it become a national bookstore like the new × bookstore?

Le Jing yawned uninterestedly, and lay down on the counter again, "I'm not interested in such boring things as expanding the bookstore. My wish is to open an ordinary bookstore, and just read books when I have nothing to do. It is all my career planning, and I have realized it." After all, the world is so boring, and only reading books can bring him peace of mind and satisfaction.

Le Ling didn't expect to get such an answer at all, but the person who gave such an answer was Le Jing who had just admitted him, so it seemed nothing strange.

Le Jing's unambitious answer is enough to make any brain in the Federation helpless, but this does not include Le Ling - just kidding, he is the top brain in the Federation and a master of the Federation's technology. Due to the limitation of the level, many functions cannot be used, but he can still come in handy, for example: [I can let you read more books!I also have a function, I can link to other planes, allowing you to travel between different planes. 】

Le Jing froze for a moment, like a dull repeater, he asked word by word: "What does linking to other planes... mean?"

[After testing, I found that in addition to the main plane you are on, there are other planes attached to the main plane on the earth.I can establish a stable teleportation point between planes, and you can open a plane bookstore! 】

Sure enough, if you live a long time, you can meet anything.

Fate even gave himself such a surprise.

Le Jing believed such an incredible statement without thinking.An incredible existence like Le Ling has appeared, so it is not unthinkable for an even more incredible one to appear again.

Moreover, he has no good plans.If selling his life to the devil would give him the chance to see a bigger world, then he would gladly agree.

Le Jing lay back on the sofa chair, his eyes were bright like fireworks burning in the dark night, and the curvature of his lips was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, he simply laughed out loud, "It's so funny hahaha..."

Maybe, he's a lunatic at heart.Destined not to be content with mediocrity.

In the bookstore in the afternoon, fine dust floats in the air, and a few rays of sunlight slantly sprinkle on the cover of the book through the transparent window, as if covered with a yellow tulle from the old days.

The laughter gradually subsided, Le Jing wiped away the tears from the laughter, curled up in his heart with great joy, making him want to scream and do something crazy.

After 25 years of boring ordinary life, his life has finally turned around, and he is heading towards another road that is bumpy but destined to be full of wit and excitement.

Le Ling said embarrassingly: [But because I don't have enough energy now, I can only link with one plane at a time, and the link can only last for a month. 】

"One month is enough." Le Jing looked up at the snow-white ceiling calmly, with indescribable satisfaction in his voice: "There is an old saying in China that death is all right when you hear the Tao in the morning. Even if I trade my whole life for this one month , I am willing, not to mention that I can explore other planes later.”

"When can we go?" he asked eagerly.

【Wait a little longer, I need to incorporate your bookstore into the career planning of the system, and then I can carry out preliminary renovations on your bookstore. 】

"How long will it take?"

[One week. 】

a week.

The distance from [everyday] to [extraordinary] is only one week.

I want to see the bigger world.

I want to meet, more interesting people.

I want to learn more fresh knowledge.

The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down.

"Thank you, Le Ling, you have given me a miracle." The young man's eyes were slightly closed, and his brows and eyes were full of gratitude.

No, you are the miracle given to me by fate, Le Ling retorted softly in his heart, it is the miracle that I only encountered after traveling half of the universe.In the end, Zhinao just twitched and said: [This is nothing, after all, I am the most powerful Zhinao in the Federation!This little thing can still be done. 】
