Blind Leek

As the owner of an ordinary bookstore, Ling PingAn’s biggest wish was to muddle through life and do absolutely nothing. 
 
However, customers that were right in the middle of their pubescent crisis kept visiting his store in the dead of night.
 
For the sake of his business, Ling PingAn had to mimic their childish tones, sparing no effort to promote the books in his store.
 
When he finally managed to sell his books after going through a great verbal tug-o-war, each and every one of them said that they don’t have money, and that they wish to use various tools that were seemingly divine artifacts as pledge.
 
Looking at these customers, Ling PingAn could only agree to them resignedly.
 
But little did he know that every single book that these customers purchased from him had altered in appearance.
 
“Secrets of Cosplay” became “Lower Abyss Research Report”
 
“Stellaris: Settings for Synth Ascension” was in fact “Gospel for Synthetic Beings”
 
What’s more, in the eyes of these customers, he was actually a horrifying ruler of Diablos, an indefinable entity that held the reins of all realms.
 
In this regard, Ling PingAn said, “I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense.
 

I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

On the second day of the New Year, Ling Ping'an returned to the bookstore that he had been living in for 24 years.

Across from the bookstore, there were lights and decorations.

Scientists from all over the world seemed to be celebrating the new year as well.

He knew that at this moment, the old abandoned industrial park had become the place with the highest density of scientists on this planet.

The scientific elites from the federal empire, Fusang, Xinluo, Siam, Jiaozhi, Samboja, Ceylon, and more than ten other countries had gathered here.

In addition, scientists from the distant states of Butania, Fran, Shenluo, Odin, and the Greek city-states had also arrived in droves.

Apart from the generous salary and good treatment, the scientists' great thirst for knowledge was the greatest driving force.

In the abandoned industrial park, scientists could observe phenomena that could not be observed elsewhere.
