"Look."
Ji Zhixu's gaze subconsciously followed Lin Jie's finger. Then, she saw the bottom of the exquisite little clock.
Under the smooth face of the ruby embedded in the pure silver frame, the inside of the clock was covered by a complicated frame. At the bottom of the meshing gears, there was actually a small … caterpillar?
This caterpillar wriggled and crawled on the exquisite gear machine. With every step it took, the second hand made a slow "click" sound, driving the entire machine.
"This is …" Ji Bonong's eyes widened slightly, and his expression instantly became sluggish.
Ji Zhixu looked at the clock and opened her mouth. She was completely shocked and couldn't even speak.
Lin Jie saw the two's reaction and his smile deepened.
Although this clock was just a flashy thing, a plaything for rich people, it was really a beauty that could be seen with the naked eye. It could be said that as long as one wasn't blind, one could see that it was priceless.
To be able to stun the chairman of Luo Er Resources, who monopolized Nuo Jin's business, Andrew's gift was really the right one.
The reason why Lin Jie had the idea that "the enamel box would definitely sell for a lot of money" instead of selling this little clock was, of course, the premise was that no matter how much this little clock sold for, it would be a huge loss and definitely couldn't be easily sold. It was better to use it as a gift.
This gift of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha was definitely worth the box of items that the father and daughter of the Ji family had given last time, including that golden apple. One second to remember: http://m.9biquge.com
Now, when it was time to negotiate the price, he could finally not hold back and haggle the price.
Back and forth, it was a business that made huge profits with little capital. It was really a huge profit …
Thinking of this, Lin Jie couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He slightly leaned back and revealed an even more amiable and amiable smile.
Ji Zhixu stared fixedly at the crawling bug. Her lips and throat were dry, and she silently swallowed her saliva.
If this clock was placed outside, out of ten people, perhaps not even one would know its value.
But in this small side hall, even Ji Bonong knew where it came from. What kind of immeasurable value did it have?
It came from the family of the Vice President of the Truth Society, Andrew. It was an heirloom passed down from generation to generation and was equivalent to one of the priceless heirlooms of the Truth Society. Yet, Boss Lin had placed it in such a plain box and given it away so casually.
Ji Zhixu tried her best to suppress her pounding heart. Ever since she inherited Rui En's memories and brought his intelligence organization under the jurisdiction of the "Spider", the latter was now the largest intelligence organization in Nuo Jin.
Ryan was full of ambition, but he also had the patience to match it. He also had the support of a huge intelligence network. Unfortunately, he lacked a bit of luck and died under the claws of Boss Lin's Gargoyle Claw. His name didn't really change from the dark to the light.
Even so, Rui En's intelligence network was worthy of his self-proclaimed title of "Underground Emperor".
Back then, his intelligence network could even obtain information that Wang Erde was actually in Nuo Jin. It was clear how powerful he was.
If he had not died prematurely in the bookstore with his ambitions, the Miyaoyi Tower might have had another troublesome enemy.
Therefore, Ji Zhixu, who had inherited everything from Rui En, knew that this was the heirloom of the Andrew family.
Ji Bonong often relied on his many years of experience to help Ji Zhixu deal with information about the Extraordinary World to the best of his ability. He also understood the value of this little toy in front of him.
The father and daughter looked at each other and exchanged a burning gaze.
After going through such a terrifying ordeal, Ji Zhixu's determination and perseverance to endure the pain and Ji Bonong's loyalty to her father despite witnessing his predicament finally gained Boss Lin's recognition!
The clock-wheel worm, an item that only existed in legends, was actually placed in front of them so casually!
According to the intelligence, this seemingly weak and harmless caterpillar-like creature was actually a four-dimensional creature that had accidentally stumbled upon the low-dimensional world they were in. Then, it was coincidentally captured by the powerful Extraordinaire of the Andrew family. What an inconceivable and terrifying power this was!
In a split second, the lightning that had been caught became a power that could change the rules.
That's right, this extraordinary tool from the Andrew family was one of the few tools that could temporarily display the rule domain that only Gods could possess.
The room was silent for a while. Lin Jie could understand the feeling of being stunned speechless by the ingenious workmanship of nature. He continued, "Using a worm as the power source of a clock, such an ingenious idea is actually more amazing than its beautiful appearance.
"Just like humans, good-looking skins are all the same, but interesting souls are one in a hundred."
Lin Jie did not feel guilty at all about using someone else's gift as a gift. He said seriously, "Miss Ji, in my opinion, you have both. Most importantly, you have a heart that is still improving, just like this clock that keeps moving forward and never stops. Therefore, I'm giving it to you, and I hope that you will be the same in the future."
"This, this is too precious …"
Ji Zhixu could not help but stand up. She pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Such a precious gift …"
Precious was one thing, but more importantly, this was a secret treasure from the Andrew family.
Ji Zhixu knew very well that if she wanted to get something from Boss Lin, she would most likely have to pay a price. The price would depend on how precious the item was.
And now, this priceless treasure, she wondered what kind of price she would have to pay.
Lin Jie waved his hand with a nonchalant expression, fully displaying his Versailles style. "Sigh, what's precious about it? Actually, the most important thing about a gift is the thought behind it, isn't it? I think it's exquisitely made, and I don't have any use for it. Why don't I give it to you? "
Boss Lin blinked and said, "I think you probably like this kind of toy."
Well, little girls probably liked this kind of exquisite looking toy. This was the valuable experience that Lin Jie had gained from his barren, desert-like communication behavior with the opposite sex.
Toy …
Little toy …
Ji Zhixu fell silent. You call this a toy?
Play with what?
Toying with the power of time?
But perhaps in Boss Lin's mind, this symbol that represented the highest wisdom of humans and the limits of Extraordinary was just a little toy, like a low-grade toy made by a babbling naughty child with mud.
It was very clumsy.
Ji Zhixu could not help but smile bitterly. She did not have the right to refuse, nor did she have the thought of refusing. However, there was one thing she had to consider …
That was, she was still a Terror Level Extraordinary. Even if she got a Transcendent item of this level, she would not be able to use it.
However, Lin Jie was determined to give this "clock toy" to Ji Zhixu. He looked at her sincerely and handed the item in his hand forward.
Ji Zhixu hesitated for a moment. Even if she got this thing, she would not be able to use it at all.
The projection of the clock-wheel worm required an unimaginably large amount of aether to trigger four-dimensional creatures and make time move under its influence.
It was rumored that hundreds of years ago, the Truth Society once wanted to activate this weapon for some reason, so they gathered all the upper echelons and gathered a large amount of aether to warn other Transcendent organizations with its power to manipulate time.
Ji Zhixu did not know if they had really used it, but as long as the Andrew family had it, they would be able to be prominent in the Truth Society.
Even the Andrew family might not have thought of using it again.
Once this powerful rule type weapon was used, the consequences would be unpredictable. In fact, Ji Zhixu was very doubtful whether the clock-wheel worm could be used anymore.
But … since Boss Lin had taken it out, even if it could not be used, it could definitely be used. It was just that ordinary people could not use it.
Ji Zhixu quickly analyzed in her mind, and then she suddenly had a bright idea and came up with a guess.
Since I can't use it at all, then — — perhaps, this is a token?
The Truth Society believed in the highest knowledge of mankind, the ultimate wisdom, and science.
And just now, Boss Lin had said — — truth and rules.
Wasn't that the Truth Society's purpose?
From not believing in gods, to liberating human nature, and then the treasure of the Andrew family, everything happened to coincide with some of the theories of the Truth Society.
He was hinting that he wanted my Spider organization and Rohr's resources to use this clock-wheel worm as a token and unite with the Truth Society to defeat the false gods who oppressed human nature and the Transcendents who bullied the weak!
Ji Zhixu was completely enlightened. Everything made sense now.
She looked at Lin Jie. The latter's eyes were so sincere.
Ji Zhixu thought excitedly. She once again understood Boss Lin's intentions, but at the same time, she was a little scared. Could she really bear such a heavy responsibility?
So strange … Lin Jie thought to himself. It's just a small toy. Why did Miss Ji remain silent for so long without batting an eyelid? Her expression was so serious, and she looked at me with such a deep gaze.
Could it be that she was afraid of caterpillars?
Actually, she didn't like this gift, but because she couldn't reject it, she was struggling in her heart?
Maybe it was true.
Although Ji Zhixu was an iron-blooded female warrior who had killed all the scumbags, even the toughest girl had a soft side. Could it be that she was really afraid of caterpillars?
"Uh … Miss Ji, are you afraid?"
Lin Jie broke the silence.
After Ji Zhixu heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Yes, she was afraid.
Compared to the previous small missions, this time, a God-level transcendent item was given at the beginning. This meant that the mission was unusual. But now, she still didn't even have a Annihilation item. It would be a lie to say that she was not afraid.
To become the savior of the weak, can I really do it?
Ji Zhixu was a little depressed as she thought. Then, she lowered her head and said honestly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you …"
Sure enough … she was afraid of caterpillars, right?
Seeing Ji Zhixu's disappointed look, Lin Jie suddenly felt bad … This was really a mistake. He had never considered this point. He had given the wrong gift.
"Uh, actually, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Lin Jie wanted to redeem his failed gift. He quickly took the clock in his hand, trying to use practical actions to dispel her fear.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a small bug. It won't bite."
Lin Jie smiled awkwardly. Then, under the shocked gaze of the father and daughter, he gently fiddled with the slowly crawling bug.
