Seeing the customer praising the rose he had grown, Lin Jie smiled.
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I'm sure it'll be very happy."
Everything had a soul. Respecting all flowers and plants was a romantic way of life.
Also, the elf lady had explained to the flower that it had its own thoughts. Out of respect for the elf lady's heart, Lin Jie had to take the mysterious seller's gimmick seriously.
If the elf lady came back one day and saw that the seller valued her gift so much, she would also feel that she was valued. Then, wouldn't there be one more regular customer?
Look, the way to make money was to accumulate over time.
It was true that details determined success or failure.
Besides, this rose was planted by him. He had taken care of it every day for the past seven days. He had fed it water by water. He was very affectionate.
"…" Hearing this, Ackerman recalled the scene he had just seen. He felt even more disgusted.
Not only did the owner of the bookstore like to play with people's hearts, but he also treated this "flower" so intimately. It was as if … as if he treated this monster as his own child.
Even a black wizard like Morpheus who violated the taboo would at most worship the Resurrected Dream Beast as a perfect creation. He would not treat this disgusting monster as a human being. Remember this: http://m.9biquge.com
What kind of existence was the owner of this bookstore?
Ackerman's eyelids twitched. Suddenly, he had a more reasonable guess. What if the owner of the bookstore was not a human being?
If he was the same kind as this "rose", but just wearing a layer of "human" skin, then it would make sense.
Why couldn't he feel any aether aura? Why was his personality so bad and twisted? Why was he so powerful? Because the one standing in front of him was some kind of higher being.
But if he really cared, how could they not know?
Damn the Truth Society, they were using him as a tool!
Wang Erde was not qualified to use this bookstore as a transfer station. He should be here to give offerings!
"Ha … Ha ha …"
Ackerman laughed dryly. He felt that the owner of the bookstore seemed to be happy to praise this "flower," so he said against his will, "I'm just telling the truth."
Lin Jie looked at the new customer in front of him who seemed to be getting paler and paler. He moved the flower pot in his hand to the side and said, "You don't seem to be feeling well. Do you want to sit down first?"
Oh no, the owner of the bookstore seemed to have noticed something wrong with his attitude.
Ackerman quickly shook his head. "No, no, no. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere …"
Lin Jie frowned. "Really? Don't force yourself. "
He thought that the customer in front of him had a strong personality. Even if he couldn't hold on anymore and was physically and mentally exhausted, he didn't want to show his weak side in front of others.
Judging from his appearance, the new guest was a typical office worker around 35 years old.
At this age, office workers had elders and children to take care of. They had a boss outside and a wife inside. They were approaching their midlife crisis and were reluctant to give up on their youth. This was the period when they were bursting with pressure.
In addition, they seemed to have been attracted by the explosion to come and watch the show. However, they seemed to have no purpose at all. It felt very confusing.
One look and one could tell that it was worth guiding.
So Lin Jie smiled and said, "Don't worry, sit down. There's no one else here, and no one will see. If there's anything you're unhappy about, you can tell me. I'm very good at consoling people."
Consoling … consoling people?!
Ackerman's whole body stiffened. He only felt that if he didn't sit down, something terrible would happen.
Was there anything else that made him unhappy?
Of course, there was only the matter of wanting to ambush him in this bookstore, but he was ambushed instead …
But could he say it? Of course not!
If he said it, wouldn't he be consoled?
You're unhappy? Then I'll open your heart (physics). The meaning of the bookstore owner was so clear.
Facing an even more blatant threat, Ackerman could only nod his head in humiliation. He hesitated a little and sat down on the only other seat in the bookstore.
Lin Jie looked at the customer who hesitated but still sat down. He knew that he had succeeded in the first step. However, it was very difficult to get people with this kind of personality to reveal their inner thoughts.
He had to take the initiative to ask questions. It was like prying open a clam's shell. He had to do it step by step to see the soft heart under the hard disguise.
Lin Jie folded his hands and smiled. "It's okay if you don't want to say it. Let me guess. It's about self-breakthrough, right?"
"Self-breakthrough" … was the same as "encountering trouble." It was Teacher Lin's professional terminology.
An ordinary person, as long as they didn't suffer from severe depression, would definitely explore and train themselves regardless of the severity.
Many people called themselves trash, fat otakus, and salted fish. However, if they asked themselves honestly, they definitely still had expectations for themselves.
Even a chuunibyou would imagine one in their heart.
If one wanted to achieve a self-breakthrough in a certain area, there were many directions. Whether it was learning a new skill or improving one's level in other areas, they were all self-breakthroughs.
Even if one corrected a small problem, thought through something, or solved a problem, it could also be called a self-breakthrough.
If one thought about it carefully, the scope was unbelievably large.
Moreover, the customer in front of him was so obviously confused. Even his appearance was so typical.
It just so happened that he was in a difficult situation.
This sentence was the right remedy for the problem. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be moved.
Ackerman's pupils suddenly contracted. His breathing became heavier for a moment. He knows that I'm going through the Annihilation certification?
No, it would be strange if he didn't know …
It seems that he already knows that I've accepted Wang Erde's bounty, so he came to ambush me.
Ackerman didn't know what the bookstore owner's goal was.
If he wanted to kill him, the whole minute of being stared at by the "flower" was enough for him to die countless times.
However, the bookstore owner didn't make a move. Instead, he chatted with him. It seemed that he had other intentions.
"I've already given up."
Ackerman decided to tell the truth. "They're just using me. They use me as a tool and throw me away after they're done. I've seen through it. This kind of organization, they say they're just, but they're actually high and mighty. They look down on people like us."
His tone was somewhat mocking.
Regardless of whether it was a dark wizard or a scholar of the Truth Society, they all looked down on hunters who borrowed the power of dream beasts.
Taming the will of the tainted blood was their own power!
Lin Jie nodded thoughtfully.
So that's how it is. It's the oppression of the boss.
He wanted to seek a promotion and a raise, but his unscrupulous boss kept bullying him. He recognized his nature as a social animal, so he grew tired of it and ran out to wander around aimlessly. Finally, he entered his bookstore.
It's all fate.
Lin Jie looked at him. "Have you ever thought of finding another way out?"
