Yes, Lin Jie was a transmigrator.
From Earth, he transmigrated to this vast country called A Zier.
In comparison, he was just an insignificant person among the millions of transmigrators.
But in a way, he was different from the rest.
Because his transmigration was, to a certain extent, voluntary.
All of this started from Teacher Lin's hobby.
As everyone knew, young people in the modern world always had some strange problems.
For example, obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For example, trypophobia.
Another example would be the reading addiction of having to read the ingredients list of shower gel.
As for Lin Jie, he was an avid book collector. Remember: http://m.9biquge.com
His greatest wish in this life was to have all the published books in the world. Regardless of whether he could finish reading them or not, just imagining the feeling of opening his arms and looking at the vast sea of neatly arranged books was enough to make him wet with tears …
His eyes.
Of course, this kind of great achievement could not be achieved by personal effort alone.
In the first half of a certain year in Huaxia, there were 90,000 new books, and the median price was 45 yuan, so buying all of them would cost 4 million.
It was hard to imagine the amount of money needed to buy all the books in the world.
The value of books was far higher than people could imagine.
This was only the obstacle of money. Other things, such as some out-of-print books or books that were banned from sale, required a lot of time to find and collect.
For Lin Jie, this was just a dream that he could not complete in his life.
Until one day.
He accidentally found a shortcut – a ceremony that could fulfill all his wishes as long as he paid the price.
Since he felt that it couldn't be real, he decided to give it a try. He meticulously completed the ceremony and made a wish to have all the books in the world.
At that time, he vaguely heard a soft whisper in his ear.
But when he tried to communicate, he felt like a chicken talking to a duck. He did not know what happened, but in the blink of an eye, he was in another world, and in front of him was this abandoned bookstore.
Following his intuition, he knew that as long as he thought about it, the huge library of books he dreamed of would come to this bookstore.
But at the same time, he would never have the chance to return to Earth.
What choice did he have? Lin Jie, who was originally alone, did not hesitate to open the door of the bookstore.
It had been three years since then.
Lin Jie was already used to living in Nuo Jin.
— Actually, it wasn't much of a habit. This world's technological level was roughly the same as Earth's in the 80s and 90s. Even the language was similar. Due to historical reasons, Chinese characters and English could be used together. For Lin Jie, it wasn't much of a hindrance.
However, most of the people here had strange names and hair colors. It was rumored that there were also existences like "Inner World" and "Superpowers".
However, Lin Jie hadn't seen him yet.
Even now, he still couldn't figure out what kind of price this was.
But it didn't matter. He was very satisfied with his current life. The bookshelf would be randomly refreshed every day. It could also be manually refreshed or searched. There were endless books to read, and there were also customers who could cook … no, feed him chicken soup.
"I've encountered some research bottlenecks recently."
Wang Erde's somewhat troubled hoarse voice came from behind his mask. "Thanks to the book 'Demon's Language' you lent me two years ago, I've found a new direction, but I need more clues about similar language documents."
Lin Jie's thoughts were interrupted. He walked to the counter, opened the register, and wrote "Returned".
He thought to himself, This Old Wang actually called this book 'Demon's Language' in such a serious manner. He really has a scholarly sense of humor.
"So you want to borrow a similar type of book this time?"
Lin Jie raised his head and tapped the table with a pen.
Wang Erde muttered, "The book from last time was too difficult, and it seemed to be a small part of a larger whole. Is there anything more simple … It's best if it's related to a pan-cultural background. Many of the languages in it seem to be deeply related to cultural customs. I need to understand the meaning better."
After two years, he finally found research clues about forbidden spells from the knowledge left behind in that book.
This meant that the opportunity to take a step closer to God-level was right in front of him!
Wizards were good at using language and the power of words. Dark Wizards used language, while light Wizards used words.
The former chanted spells, while the latter wrote runes.
As a top-notch Dark Wizard, Wang Erde had mastered almost all the basic spells that could be learned. What he needed now was to dig out and break through his introverted soul.
That was, to find the voice of his own soul.
The great undertaking of a Dark Wizard was to create their own language!
This was the path to God-level.
"Is that so … Let me take a look. Please wait a moment."
Lin Jie nodded. He thought for a moment, then turned around and rummaged through the bookshelf.
Wang Erde's request was easy to understand.
Although the language was roughly the same, they were still two different worlds. The difference in cultural customs would lead to a large gap in understanding.
Moreover, if he wanted to thoroughly understand Chinese culture, it would be too difficult. He could only find some books with a broader research scope for him.
Lin Jie's fingers traced the spines of the books on the bookshelf, and suddenly stopped.
While Lin Jie was looking for the book, Wang Erde looked at the dark rain outside, lost in his memories as he waited.
Two years ago, after losing the battle with Yue Sefu, he had fled in a sorry state. It was when he was at his most confused about his path, but he had received guidance from Lin Jie in this bookstore.
Even now, when he thought of the demonic language contained in that book, that breathtaking mystery and power, he still felt his heart beat faster and his whole body tremble.
It was the same feeling as when he first fell in love!
It reminded him of the time when he was still an acolyte, when he first came in contact with the power of a Wizard.
The old teacher said to the beautiful bird in a flat tone, "Die."
Thus, the creature died.
How great! How shocking!
It allowed him to re-establish his goals and beliefs, and recall his original intentions.
The current him, compared to the arrogant him from a few years ago, was like the difference between heaven and earth.
And all of this was thanks to the selfless, generous, omniscient, and erudite bookstore owner in front of him.
Although Wang Erde didn't ask about Lin Jie's past and identity, he already had an answer in his heart.
He must be a hermit scholar of the Truth Society!
He even suspected that this was the legendary god-level great sage who held the key to the Truth Godly Palace … But because he couldn't feel the fluctuations of aether from Lin Jie, it was only a guess.
Wang Erde looked at the young man who had taken a book from the bookshelf, and temporarily concealed the ups and downs in his heart, "Did you find it?"
Lin Jie looked at the book in his hand, then cleared his throat and handed it over with a serious smile.
"Although it's a bit presumptuous, I unexpectedly feel that this book is quite suitable. To be honest, I'm quite confident in my research in this area …"
“？”
Wang Erde was a bit puzzled by this subtle self-modesty, and took the book and lowered his head to take a look.
Lin Jie followed his gaze and saw the title and author of the book printed on the cover.
"Rituals and Folklore."
Lin Jie.
