I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon

Chapter 542: Walked to the front of the stage

“Ping’an, what are you doing?” His aunt’s voice came from the phone.

As Ling Ping’an listened, he felt that he was indeed not as smart as before.

His understanding of this world was rapidly falling.

His originally clear brain was once again in chaos.

This was very good.

Thus, Ling Ping’an smiled and replied, “I didn’t do anything…”

“Hehe!” His aunt said.. “Don’t think that I don’t know!”

“Today, the Legend of Nightmare is going to hold a press conference for beta testing…”

“You didn’t have any intention of doing that?”

Ling Ping’an laughed.

He was not that ‘smart’ now.

But his IQ was still normal.

After all…

Even if a grand scholar with a lot of knowledge could solve those world-class problems, he might not be as smart as an ordinary citizen in life.

Ling Ping’an was the same.

He smiled and asked, “Aunty, are you giving me a game cabin?”

He had temporarily lost his understanding of the world.

Just like in the past.

However, he had seen the vast ocean.

He could not return to the past.

This was like a refugee from Kunlun state coming to the Great Xia Empire.

Here, he saw modern technology and familiarized himself with the life of modern society.

When his refugee status expired, he took the aid that Great Xia gave him and returned to his hometown.

His hometown was still dilapidated and backward.

Traces of modern technology were hard to find.

However, he was no longer that refugee who knew nothing.

He had already seen modern technology and modern society.

His horizons were broadened, and his understanding of the world was also different.

Ling Ping’an was the same.

Therefore, as soon as his aunt opened her mouth, he already understood.

Even now, he was not as smart as before.

He could not be the same as before. Once he listened to others’ words and looked at others’ faces, he could immediately grasp all the causes and consequences.

However, after experiencing and grasping such strength, his temperament and reaction were no longer comparable to the past.

“You…” His aunt’s voice was a little hoarse, as if she had been exposed, so she hung up the phone in embarrassment.

“Who wants to give you a game cabin?!”

Before hanging up the phone, she left this angry and embarrassed sentence.

Ling Ping’an smiled. He felt very comfortable.

Putting down the phone, he opened the letter and sent a message to his aunt, “Thank you, aunt. I already have a game cabin!”

He knew that his aunt must have gotten a game cabin.

Those servants had already prepared it for her.

Putting away the phone, Ling Ping’an looked at Yin Mingxiu, who had her head lowered, and said, “Miss Yin, let’s go down!”

He looked out of the window, “The car that is going to pick us up has arrived!”

…

Li An’an looked at the message on the letter.

She pouted slightly, “Little Ping’an… I won’t let you worry about me next time!”

Out of kindness, she had offered him a game cabin.

But in the end, he already had one!

This nephew was really detestable!

After all, she had drawn the only game cabin that could be freely sold by the official authorities of the Legend of Nightmare!

It was worth at least ten million!

But…

Little Ping’an didn’t appreciate it!

“I’ll use it myself!” She thought as she held her phone in a daze. “When my level is higher in the game… I’ll make little Ping’an pay!”

She knew her nephew’s gaming level.

When they fought in a canyon, they would always wander between unyielding silver and stubborn bronze.

They were commonly known as handicapped players.

This virtual reality was no exception.

“Captain… Captain…” At this moment, Chu Weiwei came out with a pillow in her arms.

“Hurry up and turn on the television…”

“Legend of Nightmare’s public beta testing press conference is doing a live broadcast soon!”

Li An’an listened and became curious, “Weiwei is also concerned about this?”

“Of course!” Chu Weiwei probed. “Captain, didn’t you hear those rumors?”

“This Legend of Nightmare… It could make people gain superpowers!”

“Legend has it that it could even be exchanged for immortal bloodline!”

Of course, Li An’an had heard of these rumors.

In fact, in the Blackguard’s internal forum, similar rumors spread like wildfire.

The attitude of the higher-ups, who neither denied nor admitted it, further fueled the rumors.

However, Li An’an didn’t quite believe it.

How could a game cause a person to become a transcendent being?

What was a transcendent being?

Cabbages on the streets?

But…

Chu Weiwei’s question made her ponder.

“Really?” She asked suspiciously. “Didn’t you say that it’s just virtual reality technology?”

“It’s not like I haven’t seen it before!”

There was never a lack of high-tech equipment within the Blackguard.

The Blackguard has never lacked the most advanced equipment.

Although virtual reality had always been just a concept.

But related cutting-edge technology and equipment were not uncommon.

Li An’an had used some things that claimed to be virtual reality equipment.

She was just wearing a projector and playing games in a 3d-like background.

The immersive experience was not bad.

The so-called Legend of Nightmare should be a more advanced spirit realm technology, right?

Chu Weiwei listened and naturally understood that her captain was still unaware of the existence of the Realm of Nightmare.

Hence, she smiled and said, “Everyone said that…”

“Moreover, the entire society is chasing after the legend…”

“I feel that there’s should be some credibility, right?”

“Otherwise, the game cabin wouldn’t have been so important!”

“Besides…” Chu Weiwei said seriously. “In the era of the recovery of Spirit Aura, nothing is impossible!”

“Just like captain, you could pick up a divine artifact like the Nine Cauldrons on a trip to Nanzhou…”

Li An’an listened and subconsciously nodded.

“Then let’s take a look…”

Thus, she picked up the remote control and turned on the television.

A live broadcast appeared on the television screen.

It was an aerial shot by a helicopter.

In front of the Renyi Building, there was a sea of people!

Countless people were crowded on the main road in the center of Imperial Capital City Center.

Countless media reporters were already in position.

There were even groups of petitioners gathering.

Armed military police were maintaining order everywhere.

“Imperial Capital Satellite TV… Imperial Capital Satellite TV…”

“Dear viewers, welcome to the special segment of the Legend of Nightmare’s public beta testing press conference…”

“I’m host Huang Xiao…”

Li An’an listened, but she was a little absent-minded.

Because she remembered something.

If the rumors were true.

Her nephew, a mortal, entered this Legend of Nightmare with a transcendent being…

Would there be an accident?

Thus, she couldn’t help but clench her small hands.

“No…”

“I have to protect Ping’an!”

How dangerous was the world of transcendent beings?

She knew.

Because she had faced the turmoil of Fusang, and she had also seen the evil Buddha of Samboja.

Those terrifying transcendent being criminals were all evil and heartless.

As for her nephew, he was just an otaku.

If he wasn’t careful, he might fall into someone else’s scheme.

Li An’an had never felt such urgency before.

She had never felt such anticipation before.

She was afraid that her nephew would accidentally enter the transcendent world and get involved in the terrifying transcendent being war.

She was also looking forward to him growing up.

Because…

Transcendent beings…

Was still a transcendent being!

In theory, when a transcendent being reached the level of a general, they would be like a land immortal.

They would have a lifespan of several hundred years!

Many powerful transcendents had even lived from the beginning of the recovery of Spirit Aura until now.

She had always been afraid. After several decades, her hair would still be full of black hair and her appearance would remain the same. However, little Ping’an’s hair would already be white and become an old man.

However, if Ling Ping’an also became a transcendent being…

She would no longer have to worry.

…

Ling Ping’an took the express delivery box that contained his “shopping” outfit.

Then, he led Yin Mingxiu to the elevator door.

He pressed the button.

“Don’t be nervous!” He turned around to comfort the young girl from Xinluo who was nervous.

“Just stay by my side!”

“Yes, Mister!” Yin Mingxiu lowered her head.

The elevator went down and soon arrived on the first floor.

Ding dong! The door opened.

Ling Ping’an held the box, and Yin Mingxiu followed closely behind.

The two walked straight to the door.

A black sports car was parked there.

The sports car had a sci-fi design and had a strange appearance.

It’s like a futuristic sports car in a sci-fi movie, traveling through time and space to the modern world.

Although Ling Ping’an is now ‘stupid’ and couldn’t tell where it originated from.

But he could roughly guess, this may be a certain star race.

This sports car, just the materials, was probably built using a variety of technology that couldn’t be imagined by a human.

In the eyes of those star races, the human civilization of this world was merely an embryo in the womb.

It wasn’t even considered an infant.

Human technology, in their eyes, was roughly equivalent to humans seeing ants growing fungus.

Wow!

These tiny things were amazing.

Although primitive and ignorant, they could do it to such an extent.

They were truly amazing!

Therefore, this sports car alone might be able to destroy mankind.

Naturally, such a unique and advanced sports car attracted the attention of many people.

Ling Ping’an led Yin Mingxiu through the crowd.

He walked straight to the sports car.

The car door opened and a man dressed in a butler uniform stepped out of the car.

He bowed deeply and paid the highest respect to Ling Ping’an.

“My lord!”

Ling Ping’an nodded slightly.

Then, he led Yin Mingxiu and sat in the spacious back seat of the sports car.

The car door closed.

But the moment the door opened, the crowd of onlookers had already seen the extremely luxurious decorations inside the car.

Gold was used as a cushion, treasures were used as decorations, and even the seats were inlaid with diamonds.

Every single one of them was as bright as the stars.

“Oh my god!” The crowd exclaimed.

“Which family’s officer is this?”

It was obvious that this kind of luxurious interior decoration was not something that ordinary people could enjoy.

As for the other people, their astonishment was even more apparent.

“The thing in the car just now…” They swallowed their saliva.

“If I’m not mistaken…”

“That golden carpet laid on the ground is made of medicinal gold!”

Medicinal gold was a transcendent gold that could only appear after the recovery of Spirit Aura and a very small probability within the transcendent being’s spirit vein.

It was the main ingredient of many life-extending medicines.

According to legend, immortal medicine also needed medicinal gold.

Its preciousness was naturally imaginable!

Even in the Federal Empire, the Blackguard could only mine a few hundred kilograms of medicinal gold every year.

Each gram was priceless!

The golden carpet on the carriage was filled to the brim.

More importantly…

The golden carpet was inlaid with immortal jade and divine diamonds.

Immortal jade was something that even the immortals wanted.

As for divine diamonds…

All the countries in the Land of Qin were in desperate need of them.

This was because it was a necessary item to refine the sacred ointment!

It was the key to the connection between the royal families and the Kingdom of Heaven.

It was an item to bring an angel to the mortal world.

Every divine diamond represented an angel.

And on the golden carpet on the carriage, there were at least hundreds of divine diamonds inlaid.

Therefore, just that golden carpet alone.

Was worth more than any magic sword of the Blackguard.

And such a treasure was just a carpet.

A carpet used to be stepped on.

“Who is he?” People thought.

Immediately, they knew.

Mr. X!

It had to be him!

And it could only be him!

…

Yin Mingxiu sat on the seat, trembling. She didn’t even dare to touch the seat.

What she saw was beyond her imagination.

Above her head, there was an object of light.

It wasn’t a headlight.

It was a floating cube.

Its shape was extremely irregular.

Its surface was pure black.

But there was light coming from it.

It lit up the entire space in the car and made the decorations in the car shine like neon lights in a ballroom.

There was no doubt.

Yin Mingxiu knew that everything here was an unimaginable treasure.

“There’s no need to restrain yourself!” Ling Ping’an’s voice echoed in her ears.

He immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, “You should sit comfortably!”

Feeling the warmth of Ling Ping’an’s palm, Yin Mingxiu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Her tensed mind relaxed a little.

She hurriedly said, “Yes!”

But her nerves were still extremely tense.

Sitting in this car made her extremely uncomfortable.

Ling Ping’an looked at her and smiled.

He knew that it was something in this car that made this young lady from Xinluo feel uneasy.

Thus, he snapped his fingers.

The cube floating above his head quietly dimmed.

Then, it was put into a round box.

“Xiao Ao!” Ling Ping’an instructed the driver who was driving. “Stop your aura, you are scaring the young lady!”

“Yes!” The driver nodded.

And so, Yin Mingxiu’s sense of security finally returned.

She finally dared to carefully sit on the cushion.

Just as her butt sat on the cushion, she felt a warm feeling.

It was as if she had returned to her mother’s womb.

The surrounding air tightly wrapped around her.

In a trance, she seemed to hear the driver exclaim, “You’re really lucky!”

Ling Ping’an immediately berated, “You’re talking too much!”

The driver immediately shut his mouth and did not say another word.

Meanwhile, the car drove forward steadily.

The road was smooth and without any obstruction. There were no red lights and it went straight to the Renyi Building in the center of the city.

Quack!

The car stopped in front of the building.

Yin Mingxiu immediately turned her head and looked at Ling Ping’an.

She watched Ling Ping’an slowly open the box in his hand.

He took out the things in the box.

A triangular dark red hood.

There were traces of paint on the hood.

He took out a wooden stick and held it in his hand.

“Meow!”

His pet immediately curled up in his arms when it saw these two things.

“Don’t be afraid!” Ling Ping’an said gently. “Little darling!”

Then, he put the hood on his head.

And turned his head to look.

On the triangular hood, the mottled dark red paint was flashing with a strange color.

Ling Ping’an’s gentle voice came from within, “Miss Yin, how’s my outfit…”

Yin Mingxiu answered with trepidation, “Very good!”

Ling Ping’an laughed, “I think so too!”

He lightly held the wooden stick in his hand and swung it.

On the sharp wooden stick, mottled blood seemed to flow.

It was as if the stick had just killed an unfortunate victim.

Yin Mingxiu gulped.

Ling Ping’an reached out and held her hand, saying, “Wait, you can follow me!”

“This is my grace to you!”

Yin Mingxiu heard this and quickly lowered her head, “Yes!”

She understood that being allowed to follow Ling Ping’an on such an occasion.

This was indeed a grace.

This meant that Ling Ping’an had acknowledged her status as a servant girl.

He allowed her to continue serving him.

“Let’s go!” Ling Ping’an said gently and let go.

This made Yin Mingxiu feel lost.

But she still replied meekly, “Yes!”

Thus, she got out of the car first.

Kacha kacha.

The reporters’ cameras kept flashing.

The moment she got out of the car, they froze her in the camera.

It also allowed her to appear in the live broadcast lens.

Then, she went around to the other side and opened the car door for Ling Ping’an.

Kacha kacha.

Countless cameras competed to take pictures.

Because, in front of the building, the security team in line had already saluted.

Bang, bang, bang!

The salute of guns was fired.

This was a VIP!

Then, all the reporters took pictures of a man wearing a triangular headgear stepping out of the black sports car.
