"It's getting late. If there's nothing else, you should go back. It's quite dangerous for you to be out alone at night."
After settling the matter, Lin Jie was ready to close the shop and send the customer out.
Of course, he was not asking her to leave. If it was during the day, he would have been more than happy to chat with Miss Ji. After all, she was a super big customer.
Even if she did not buy it herself, she could still introduce a few friends to him, such as Miss Doris.
The problem was that when Vincent came, it was already close to nine o 'clock. After chatting for a while, it was already ten o' clock. If Ji Zhixu came again, it would be almost eleven o 'clock.
Usually, he would have closed the shop and gone to bed at eleven o 'clock.
He put down his teacup and looked at the sky outside. He felt that he was lying. It was not early at all. It was almost midnight.
This lady was indeed brave. As a young and beautiful woman, she dared to come to such a secluded area at night.
The security here was not particularly good.
"If that's the case, I'll go back and wait for Mr. Ackerman."
Ji Zhixu nodded. Although she was now a Hunter who was close to the Destruction Grade and could be called a "Champion," the people who came to the bookstore and had various ideas about the bookstore were all old and powerful. For her, it was still very dangerous. The website of the bookstore was m.9biquge. com
If the original recipe was not so important, she would definitely have brought her trusted aide.
Ji Zhixu stood up and packed her things. She closed the box and prepared to leave.
Lin Jie felt his sleeve being pulled. He turned his head in confusion and saw Moen's clear and bright eyes looking at him. She then turned to look at the box on the counter.
Her eyes were fixed on him …
Lin Jie immediately understood that the child was interested in the box.
It was beautiful and shiny. She could not help but open the box as she was playing with it. She probably liked it.
Boss Lin was a little embarrassed for a while. Although this kind of ex-scumbag's relic would most likely be destroyed and buried in the cement, the value of the box itself should be quite high …
He pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try. "Wait, my assistant seems to like this box a lot. I wonder if I can …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Zhixu hesitated for a moment before putting the box back down. She was very willing, and even a little impatient, she took out the item inside and pushed it over.
"No problem."
"… Thank you."
Lin Jie didn't know how to feel, so he could only smile. "In that case, I don't have anything of value to exchange. Is there anything you want in the bookstore?"
Ji Zhixu was stunned for a moment before ecstasy filled her heart. She suppressed her excitement and looked around the bookstore.
Without the seal of the brass box, the presence of the original formula leaked out. It would attract people who wanted it. Space Wolf was an Annihilation class dream beast. The dirty blood it produced was of a very high level. It could even attract Annihilation class elites.
She thought this was the second test of her ability from the owner of the bookstore.
So, even if she considered the danger, she still chose to hand over the box.
Maybe it was her decisiveness that made the owner of the bookstore like her, so he gave her a chance to lower the difficulty. She had to take advantage of it!
This time, Mr. Lin was talking about the items in the bookstore. That meant it wasn't just the books. Other things were fine too.
Although the books in the bookstore contained infinite mystery and power, they couldn't increase her power in a short amount of time. Plus, she couldn't determine how much the books could help her.
Ji Zhixu first thought of the gargoyle, but the gargoyle's power was only Panic class. That meant she only had an assistant of the same level. To her, the help she could provide was limited.
She pondered for a moment and turned her gaze to the red rose that she had been very concerned about but didn't dare to look at for too long.
She hadn't seen the rose on the counter before she came. It must have been added recently.
The beautiful rose, which had been in a budding state, seemed to notice her gaze. The petals trembled slightly, revealing an eyeball. It glanced at her with greed and malice.
Ji Zhixu felt a chill run down her spine. She vaguely felt a strong threat to her soul.
But when the threat came, the Iron Will, which had been floating behind her quietly and generated by her soul, blocked her with its countless tentacles. It immediately blocked the feeling.
This flower … was so terrifying. She couldn't resist it with her current strength. She had to rely on the enhancement of the Iron Will to barely block it.
However, she could feel that the flower didn't really want to attack. It seemed to be pranking her to scare her.
But on second thought, wasn't this the best help?
"Phew …"
Ji Zhixu pointed at the rose in the pot on the counter. "I want your rose. Can I?"
"…?"
Lin Jie was slightly stunned.
Rose … She didn't want a room full of books and a well-made gargoyle. She wanted his rose. What did she mean?
He wasn't thinking too much. In all aspects, this pot of roses was the least valuable in the bookstore. Moreover, the meaning of roses had never changed from Earth to A Zier.
However, he was the one who said it. Ji Zhixu wanted the rose, but she was the one who was at a disadvantage. Lin Jie naturally agreed and handed the flower pot to her.
However, looking at the other party's back as she closed the door and left, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Boss Lin crossed his hands and supported his chin. Looking at the empty counter, he fell into deep thought. His smile gradually disappeared.

Central District, Mechanical Transmigration.
Andrew stood in front of the part of Factory 01 that was being rebuilt.
After the Magic Mirror Egg incident, he used the emergency regulations to temporarily keep his position, but the price was that he was under surveillance. He had to supervise the work here and look for clues about the attacker. He couldn't participate in other decisions.
In this attack, a total of three factories were destroyed on a large scale. 01, 07, and 13. 01 was the factory for bloodline drug experiments. 07 was the factory for the Clay Idol Project. 13 was a storage warehouse.
The common point was that the explosion caused by the detonation of the Philosopher's Stone came from the inside. Recently, only these three factories needed the Philosopher's Stone, which made it more convenient for the mole.
The mole must still be on the move. However, they had greatly reduced his power. It was undoubtedly suicide!
No, maybe the mole was at the top …
He paced and looked coldly at the low-level scholars who were working on the reconstruction.
A sound came from the alchemy product in his ear — the miniature long-distance communication earpiece. It made him stop and his expression changed.
"President, the people of the Solipsistic Faction already know that this group of lunatics who plunder knowledge for fun are very interested in the bookstore …"
Andrew's expression became extremely gloomy. He had canceled this order some time ago!
Someone had intercepted his canceled order!
