Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Road to Knowledge is Always Full of Temptations

Suspiciously, Salin pushed the door open and walked into the Teacup Bookstore, and when he saw that there were images everywhere, he was convinced that he had been completely deceived by the bookstore's literary name.

As for whether the bookstore would have what he needed, he also began to doubt.

Sha Lin wanted to turn around and leave, but the oncoming male clerk quickly blocked his retreat and enthusiastically hugged Sha Lin towards the forbidden place full of 404 dangers.

"Welcome!"

"Sir, what do you need? We have all kinds of types here, whether it is from seventeen to forty-seven years old, or even seventy-seven-year-old photo albums, there are also a lot of classic models in stock!"

"Do you like to be a little more mature, or a young type?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Shalin cleared his throat that was suddenly choked by saliva, and focused on not being affected by the virtual room boxes on the shelves on both sides, only to know that the books of the free city-state had evolved like this, and said with a little embarrassment:

"Well, do you have any serious books here?"

"Serious?"

"What serious book?"

Three question marks quickly popped up on the male clerk's head.

"That's the kind of ...... The paper version, the information recorded in writing, needs to be turned to read. ”

Shalin gestured in the air for a long time, and the question mark on the male clerk's head was squeezed together, and suddenly turned into a huge exclamation mark!

"Ah, I see!"

"Ouch, Mr. can't see it, it turns out that you like this flavor, it's unique enough!"

The clerk mysteriously winked at Shalin, and led him to another corner of the bookstore, where he rummaged through a pile of chip boxes to find a few sexy photo boxes in an alternative digital style.

The pictures on these photo boxes are not ordinary beauties, but pure digital mechanized 'humanoids' like aliens.

There is even a 'woman' whose head is completely composed of regular pages, like a thick sea of words, full of alternative digital beauty in the sea of stars, so that ordinary people will feel chills when they see it.

Shalin was suddenly attracted to this alternative chip box, and became a little interested in discovering a new world.

The clerk noticed the change in his eyes, and hurriedly pushed the box into Shalin's hand, and continued to sell this niche alternative room simulation chip in a flattering manner.

"Sir, you have such a good eye!"

"The first time you came to our store, you found that we have the only out-of-print virtual girl in the store, this is simply a fateful encounter!"

"I won't tell you anything, just this style of girl, even if it is sold in our store, it is impossible for other small bookstores that are not in the mainstream to get such a high-end analog chip!"

"The ultra-realistic AI simulation girlfriend system with absolute quality assurance is unique in terms of dialogue voice, style, appearance and personality!"

"Although there is no body, if you need it, you can just buy a matching prosthesis, and we have the world's highest simulation and the best feel chip implantable bionic prosthesis in our store!"

"Now if you buy chips and bionic prostheses in sets, you can also enjoy a 20% discount!"

The male clerk passionately introduces the products in their store, because for the regular customers of this store, they no longer need to buy expensive bionic prostheses many times, but only those chips that match their tastes.

And no one bought this alternative AI chip created with digital coding as an element, so when Sarin made that strange request, he sensed that a business opportunity was beckoning.

But Shalin still frowned and put the chip box back in the clerk's hand.

Although he was somewhat interested in this alternative humanoid figure, and he found himself interested in all things unconventional, the most important thing for now was to find out the laws of the free city-state and the bad city.

Of course, he also casually asked:

"How much do these things cost?"

"The chip has 8,000 golden tickets, and the bionic prosthesis only needs 12,500 golden tickets!"

"If you buy these two products at the same time, I will give you a minimum discount of 20%, and you will need to pay 16,400 golden tickets to take them home!"

"At the same time, sooner or later, the store will pay in installments provided by Cockroach Financial Services, three interest-free offers, and only need to pay 1200 gold tickets for the sixth installment, and you can bring home such a unique and mysterious AI girlfriend!"

...... It's crazy.

With so much money, why not go find a real girl who wants to buy this kind of virtual room?

Sharin's face had turned very bad, especially when the male clerk said such a price beyond his imagination, and he himself was not an otaku addicted to the virtual world, although he also loved games, but he had never indulged in such a thing.

Therefore, he could not accept this kind of price of grabbing money.

"Forget it, I don't think this thing is that good. ”

"Let's talk about it when there is a need for it later. ”

With a quick wave of his hand, Shalin was about to leave the unreliable bookstore when he suddenly saw a storage room at the end of the corner on his side full of normal books.

His mind jumped to the fact that he could read a book for free, and walked directly past the clerk to the storage room.

"Hey, hey, sir!"

"That's where our store stores waste, and it's all stuff that hasn't been bought for a while, and it's not open to the public!"

The male clerk followed behind the fast-walking Sarin and tried to stop him from wandering around the bookstore.

The clerk ran after him, but the man with the strange mask quickly entered the dusty warehouse at a speed that he couldn't keep up with as if he was walking normally.

The background music in the bookstore came to an abrupt end at the end, and the Teacup Bookstore suddenly fell silent.

......

Call......

The clerk's gasps grew louder in the darkening hallway, his heart pounding in his ears, and the time and distance seemed to be extremely long in the moment, until he finally broke through the boundaries of his feelings and stepped into the storage room.

"Hey, sir!"

"...... first"

The male clerk's face went into shadow, and a hand was placed on his shoulder.

The low, sometimes viscous, sometimes hoarse voice poured into the ears, and the heartbeat disappeared instantly.

"What's wrong?"

"Why do you have so much sweat on your face, it can't be sick, right?"

Shalin asked with concern, his narrowed eyes shining with a faint golden light, as if he didn't know anything about what had just happened.

The male clerk stopped abruptly and swallowed.

"You, you ....."

"Oh, it's fine, I just wanted to find the bathroom, but I don't think there's any. ”

Shalin patted the clerk's overalls and wiped the dust off his handbandages with his dark gray overalls without leaving a trace.

He smiled again and walked straight out of the Teacup Bookstore.

The male clerk who suddenly came back to his senses touched the shoulder that was still warm, and was about to turn around to say something, but the man had completely disappeared into Round Table Street, and there was no trace left or right.

And in the storage room where the wind blew, there were only a few more traces of reading on the books.
