"Pa."
Lin Jie closed the box again.
He took a deep breath and calmly swallowed the tea in his mouth. Then, he gently placed the teacup on the counter and smiled at Mo En to take it away.
Looking at the girl's back, Boss Lin's smile gradually disappeared. He opened the box again with a gloomy face.
"Good lord, I thought it was just these things. I didn't expect it to be even more ruthless. It ate them all as snacks … Is this edible?"
"Well, I don't know what kind of creature it is. Maybe it is edible, but its appetite is too good."
Lin Jie stared at the empty box. This time, even the shadows in the box were gone.
Obviously, the culprit was skilled and ran away quickly.
Lin Jie couldn't even take another look at the treasures that he had just obtained … He didn't even know what was inside of them!
Suddenly, he heard an indescribable sound in his ears.
It sounded like ravings and murmurs. He couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, and he didn't know what language it was. Remember: http://m.9biquge.com/
But Lin Jie could understand the meaning behind it.
He was both unfamiliar and familiar with this voice because it was the same voice that Little Black had shown when he had transmigrated here. He hadn't seen the "silhouette" of Little Black's physical body yet.
Now, Little Black had a physical body, but it still used the method of remote communication.
He had to admit that it was like a child who was caught stealing snacks and was afraid of being beaten by his parents. Then, he hid and pretended that nothing had happened.
"Take it? You ate it wrong and want to return it to me? That's useless to you? "
Lin Jie was stunned when he heard this. Then, he quickly reached out his hand to take it.
Although he didn't know what was going on, it probably meant that Little Black had left something for him.
At the same time, he felt a trace of hope in his heart. Could it be the most valuable Golden Apple?
A strange twisting point appeared in mid-air. It rotated and protruded outwards, "spitting" out an object.
The object fell into Lin Jie's hands. He took a closer look.
It was the stone fragment with the flame pattern.
Lin Jie: "…"
You win!
Lin Jie held the stone in his hand. Apart from the patterns on it, it was no different from an ordinary stone. The look of anticipation on his face froze.
The distortion in the air was smoothed out by an invisible force, and the raving-like voice also disappeared.
Little Hei left.
Lin Jie's mouth twitched. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he entered a meditative state and placed the fragment into his dream.
"Alright … The runes on it are still very valuable for research. Although they are incomplete, according to Kandra's memories, these runes seem to be some kind of language from the First Epoch. They are even more ancient than the language of the Second Epoch."
He forced himself to accept this fact. Then, he frowned in distress.
"It's just that even Kandra hasn't learned this language. I want to understand the meaning, but I reckon that I won't be able to find any relevant information even in the Truth Society's library."
Lin Jie touched his chin. "Just now, Miss Ji seemed to have said that these things were excavated by Rohr Resources when they were developing the lower city area. In other words, there might be a large number of ancient ruins in the lower city area. Maybe there will be something I need …"
He shook his head again. "Access is restricted in the lower city area. If I want to go down, I need the approval of various institutions in the Central District. Also, I need a more reliable reason. It's definitely impossible to do it in my own name. It's hard for Rohr Resources to give me a quota … Forget it, I'll think about it later."
Lin Jie sighed. He stood up and stretched. He turned around and walked to the middle of the bookshelf.
Now, his main task was to select suitable books for Rohr Resources Development Group according to the contract. He would be the agent of this nameless bookstore and hand them over to sell.
As for how to sell, what the price was, and how much the commission would be, Mo En and Ji Zhixu had already written it clearly in the contract that they had drafted together.
What Lin Jie had to do was to select suitable books every month and wait for Ji Zhixu to come to pick them up. The next time Ji Zhixu came, it would be time to report the sales situation and take the money.
It was just as Lin Jie had been worried about before.
Not all of the books he had here could be sold. Many of the contents in the books were things that had never appeared in this world before. Once they were understood by people with ill intentions, it would definitely cause unrest.
Therefore, he had to be cautious.
Lin Jie flipped through the books in his mind. The books on the entire bookshelf changed accordingly and adjusted to the novels section.
That's right. From his consideration, the literary works with the least risk and at the same time, the literary works that were more popular with the general public were novels.
Even if there were some things that didn't exist, they could be explained with the word "fiction". The readers would also fill in the blanks with their own imagination. It was relatively safe.
He had often recommended all kinds of novels to the customers who visited the bookstore previously. So far, he had not encountered any accidents.
Among them, the risk of popular literature such as romance novels and fantasy novels was even lower.
After all, they were all themes that people liked to read … Whether it was on Earth or A Zier, people could relate to them.
Lin Jie first took a copy of "The Count of Monte Cristo".
This novel with the theme of "revenge" could be said to be a standard classic "refreshing novel". Coupled with the ups and downs of the plot, he believed that it would be a best-seller in the other world.
Then, he thought for a while and took a copy of "Pride and Prejudice".
This book was a classic among romance novels. Moreover, it was not just a novel that described love. At the same time, it also included a discussion of human nature. It was not inferior to others.
On the opposite side of this book was "Jane Eyre", which was equally famous or even better … Lin Jie had never thought much of this book. Perhaps in that era, this book could be regarded as a representative of feminism, symbolizing freedom and equality.
However, if he were to praise this book in terms of literary value, it would be purely far-fetched.
Just from the content of the plot alone, to be honest, this book was not fundamentally different from "The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me" …
Lin Jie complained in his heart and took a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" and "Water Margin".
Needless to say, "The Old Man and the Sea" was Hemingway's representative work, and it displayed the human spirit to the extreme.
As for "Water Margin", Lin Jie personally felt that this book had the least cultural barriers among the four classic novels. At least, it was not so difficult to understand. Anyway, this time, he was going to sell it to someone else. He would try to put it in the market and see if there would be a market for it.
"This four books feels about right. Give me some of each genre."
Lin Jie nodded in satisfaction. "After all, this is the first time we're working together. Give me fifty … no, a hundred books for each book."
He had to be more ambitious!
He took two steps out with the books and suddenly stopped. He stepped back and had an idea. Then, he took a copy of "1000 Classic Home-Cooked Dishes (365 Days Full Color Edition)" from the bookshelf.
