The Palm of Virtual Touch.
The moment Ji Bonong saw the name of the book, countless taboo knowledge flew through the thick pages like flies. They flapped their wings and flew toward him.
"Ah!"
He was not prepared for this at all. He subconsciously wanted to shout and wave his hands to chase them away.
However, the next moment, he was surrounded by the flies. Not only was his body covered, but he could even feel the flies burrowing into his body, especially his eyes.
Ji Bonong trembled and could not move. He could clearly feel the slender legs of countless insects crawling on the sclera of his eyes.
They were densely packed, and there were more and more of them.
His eyes were gradually filled. The rolling and crawling insects made his eyes look like boiling water.
In his field of vision, every fly was engraved with countless ancient and unknown words.
He felt like he was buried in a sea of insects. He wanted to breathe, but he could only wave his arms and struggle helplessly to "swim". However, he did not know that at this moment, to others, he was only raising his arms and stiffly flipping the pages of the book.
The only abnormality was that his head was lowered, as if he had lost consciousness. The first website was m.9biquge. com
However, when he looked at him again, it seemed that he was too focused on the book.
Lin Jie looked at Ji Bonong's fascinated look as he lowered his head and read the book seriously. He was secretly proud of himself. As expected of his ability to choose books. He could not make a mistake.
Although he was lazy and could not do anything, eating was his number one priority. However, when it came to selling books, he was not bad at it.
Seeing that Ji Bonong seemed to be firmly grasped by invisible hands and could not even move his eyes away, Lin Jie knew that this book was to his liking.
Lin Jie could not help but smile with relief. He turned his head and said softly, "Mr. Ji seems to like this book very much. I won't disturb you anymore. Why don't we eat first?"
His last sentence was directed at Ji Zhixu, who was beside him.
Ji Zhixu's face was pale and nervous. She stiffly shifted her gaze away from her father and forced a smile. "Boss Lin is right … Let's eat first. Let's eat first."
At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and excitement.
Since Boss Lin was willing to give him the book, it meant that Ji Bonong had received recognition. As a mortal, he had a chance to become a supernatural being!
At the same time, this would be Raul's greatest opportunity to obtain resources!
This was worth her excitement.
However, the scene in front of her made her shudder in fear, as if she was asking a tiger for its skin.
This was because in the eyes of an extraordinary human, this was not a book at all. It was clearly a glossy black mass of unknown substance that looked like colloid, thick fog, or a passage that looked like a black hole. A black hand reached out from the black hole and firmly grabbed Ji Bonong's entire body, wrapping him in it.
As for the black hand, it was clearly made up of countless insects that looked like locusts and flies. They buzzed as they surrounded Ji Bonong and gnawed at him.
They, they are eating my father!
This realization made Ji Zhixu break out in a cold sweat. Because of nervousness, even her teeth were chattering. She desperately tried to suppress her anxious heartbeat.
She knew that if a normal person without any talent wanted to become a supernatural being, they would definitely have to pay a sufficient price. Everything in the world was equal.
However, this scene was still beyond her imagination.
As Ji Bonong was completely submerged by the swarm of insects, the air began to be filled with the smell of old rotting sludge. Ji Zhixu felt as if she was soaking in oil.
Now, the ones who remained in the seat and flipped through the book seemed to be just a group of humanoid figures made up of unknown substances.
In this brightly lit side hall, it seemed extremely strange.
The servants began to serve the dishes. But no one expressed any doubts about their master's condition. No one felt that something was wrong. They entered in a well-trained manner and quietly exited.
It was as if they could not see anything at all.
Ji Zhixu tried her best to calmly pick up the knife and fork in her hand and secretly glanced at Boss Lin.
Lin Jie was completely unaffected. He smiled and turned to politely thank the servants. Then, he noticed Ji Zhixu's gaze. He maintained his smile and said, "Miss Ji, do you have any questions?"
This smile made Ji Zhixu completely shut up.
There was no mistake. This was a test.
She really wanted to call her father back, but she didn't dare.
On one hand, she was worried that her hesitation would cause Boss Lin to dislike her and cause her father to fail Boss Lin's test. On the other hand, she was afraid that her father would really not return. This was a daughter's worry, but because this was Boss Lin's will, she wouldn't go against it.
Ji Zhixu bit her lower lip and glanced at Boss Lin again. She took a deep breath and firmly shook her head. She also lowered her voice. "No, I was just wondering if these dishes would suit your taste."
"Mm …"
So it was like this. He was wondering why Ji Zhixu was suddenly so nervous.
Lin Jie raised his head slightly and smacked his lips in thought. He really didn't have much interest in Nuo Jin's traditional Western food. He wondered if Miss Ji had been thinking too much when he frowned because he was dissatisfied with this kind of flashy but impractical presentation.
He smiled and joked. "I like them all very much. To be honest, opening a bookstore in such a remote corner wouldn't allow me to eat these delicacies. I have to thank Miss Ji for giving me this opportunity to freeload."
Ji Zhixu waved her hand. "No, it's not like that. We should be the ones thanking you for coming. It's fine as long as you like it."
Lin Jie rubbed his chin. "However, I do have some preferences … For example, the honey cake that Charlotte recommended this morning. The taste is indeed unforgettable."
"!" Ji Zhixu's hand trembled and she almost knocked over her wine glass.
Lin Jie was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"…" Ji Zhixu shook her head like a rattle-drum. She tried hard to erase the image of Boss Lin eating a god-level dish from her mind.
Lin Jie was a little worried.
Why did it feel like Miss Ji was especially nervous from the start?
Boss Lin thought for a moment. He looked at Ji Bonong, who was still engrossed in his book, and suddenly understood.
That's right, because her father was right next to her … Her father had heard her passionate confession, so anyone would feel nervous. Moreover, it was a situation that was comparable to a social suicide.
Poor Miss Ji.
Ji Zhixu suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She looked at Lin Jie respectfully and fearfully, only to find that the owner of the bookstore didn't comment on her flustered rudeness. He was looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of sympathy.
Was this the sympathy of a high-ranking person? Sympathizing with her ignorance and weakness … or perhaps it was theirs.
"Sigh." Lin Jie couldn't stand it anymore. This knot in Miss Ji's heart … Forget it. No matter what, he couldn't mercilessly reject her a second time in front of her father. At least, he had to wait until the banquet was over.
"Miss Ji, how about a toast? To the cooperation between the bookstore and Luo Er Resources. "
Lin Jie raised the wine glass in his hand and looked at Ji Zhixu with a friendly gaze. Only business could completely cover the awkwardness from earlier. "This time, I carefully selected five sample books. I hope Luo Er Resources can make good use of them."
Ji Zhixu's eyes widened. Her heart instantly became excited. To mention cooperation at this time, it meant …
She quickly raised her glass. "To the cooperation! Luo Er Resources, no, our Ji family's sincerity, you will definitely be able to witness it! "
"Ding."
The wine glass made a crisp sound, as if a beautiful pebble had been thrown into a calm lake with surging undercurrents, causing ripples.
Ji Zhixu was in a daze. She felt that the hand holding the wine glass in front of her didn't seem to be the white hand of a human male with distinct joints. Instead, it seemed to be a dark, blurry hand.
Her heart tightened. A mysterious inspiration made her turn her head to look at her father.
The invisible hand that had grabbed Ji Bonong's soul immediately withdrew after the two wine glasses touched, as if it had touched a hot iron.
"Ha —"
Ji Bonong raised his head abruptly. It was as if he had escaped death from the endless stomach of a vicious beast after a long battle. He was like a dried up fish that had returned to the sea and come back to life.
He had escaped from the swamp of books.
Lin Jie blinked and returned to his seat. "Mr. Ji, do you feel that this book has helped you?"
Ji Bonong was at a loss for a moment. Then, he clenched his fists and said with ecstasy, "Yes! Too much! Thank you, thank you! Thank you … "
He was almost incoherent.
Because from this moment on, the world in his eyes was completely different. The flies that had penetrated deep into his body had constructed channels from nothing, filling them with aether.
He, Ji Bonong, had become an Extraordinaire!
This was a miracle!
