The calm and reliable head maid Bella smiled and looked at the high-spirited master in front of her, and followed with a heavy suitcase.
On the dark box body, a complex and gorgeous dark red rune dark pattern flashed faintly, indicating its extraordinaryness.
These runes are very similar to the runes painted and engraved on the brass box that White Wolf stored the original formula, but they are more advanced, and a lot of targeted runes have been added.
In simple terms, this is a sealing circle, which is used to prevent the items in it from leaking breath and better preserve them.
Moreover, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and it must come from the hands of high-level white wizards.
Bella naturally knew that Qili's self-confidence was not groundless. She had carefully prepared a gift for three years. Even in the light of the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce's financial resources and heritage, it was a rare and unmeasurable treasure.
Compared with the contents in this box, the doom coin that the butler sent to him before was indeed just a small gift that could be used as an appetizer, and the two were not the same.
Even if it is a terrifying existence like Boss Lin who seems to have lived for an unknown number of years, the weight of this gift is definitely heavy enough.
Walking out of the alley, Qili suddenly stopped, her cheerful expression froze, and she looked sharply at the street opposite the bookstore.
This place was previously in ruins by a "gas explosion" - of course, the superhumans all know that it was the aftermath of the battle between the elf great sage and the leader of the red sect - and it has now been rebuilt.
In terms of scale, it is much better than the sparse and dilapidated houses and shops before.
Of course, Qi Li didn't care about that.
Her sharp eyes fell on the construction warning sign.
Huang Chengcheng's very eye-catching warning sign reads "Roer Resources Development Company" in big characters.
This means that the construction site directly opposite the bookstore is a project contracted by Rolle Resources Development Company.
"How could Luoer Resources come here? This kind of remote place is only one line away from the slums. Haven't they always been disdainful of developing it?"
Qili frowned, feeling something was wrong in her heart.
She feels now, like one day when she was patrolling an absolutely secret and exclusive treasure field that only she knew, suddenly a group of goblins with hoes swaying came next to her...
And when she took a closer look, she found that this group of goblins had not only encircled a large area not far away, but also started to develop it in a similar way, only a line away from her treasure.
Simply heart-stopping.
Qili clenched her fists tightly, staring at the warning sign, gritted her teeth angrily: "Damn, I was busy investigating Congreve some time ago, but I didn't find the action of Luoer Resources... This group of goblins will never It may be aimless and do things that have no interests.”
"I have already investigated this area, and it has no commercial value at all, so Mr. Lin is the only one who can really attract the resources of Rolle."
With Qili's sharpness and intelligence, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
The treasure that she has been hiding for many years has been coveted by these ugly green-skinned goblins!
"If I didn't want to disturb Mr. Lin, would there still be a location for Luoer's resources? Damn it!"
Qili stomped her feet angrily, but unfortunately, her petite stature was not threatening at all, she only seemed to jump up and knock people's knees.
Bella still kept smiling, even though her master suddenly came up with a bizarre metaphor such as a goblin, she remained calm and leaned down slightly: "Master, do you want me to check the project initiator and person in charge?"
"Whoosh..."
Qili puffed out her cheeks angrily, and it took a long time for her to calm down before she snorted coldly, "Check!"
"Find it out for me, if you want to grab something from me, even if it's Luoer resources, there's no way!"
"Yes."
Qili sorted out her expression, raised her chin and said, "No matter what, I am the first to know Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin will definitely be very satisfied with today's gift, not these sneaky tricks can compare of."
Hmph, it's a fool's errand to think that I can approach Mr. Lin in this way.
They don't know Mr. Lin at all. What he hates most is being interrupted to open a bookstore. After all, he is very keen on playing the owner of the bookstore, which can be regarded as his greatest hobby.
If even this interest were artificially interfered with, for example, if someone pretended to be a customer to enter the bookstore, such behavior would definitely be severely punished by Mr. Lin.
Qi Li's mood was beautiful again.
With light steps, she walked to the door of the bookstore, put her hand on the door and pushed it open slightly.
At this moment, Qili felt that her heartbeat was so fast it was about to fly out.
After three years, she finally came here again.
The biggest turning point in her life was the beginning of everything.
"jingle."
The familiar bell sounded, making Qili even feel a little wet in her eyes, and her whole body trembled slightly.
The door opened, and everything in the bookstore came into view.
The dim light in the store illuminated the bookshelves full of books, half of the stairs in the distance, the counter nearby, and a black-haired young man who was sorting the books on the bookshelves and flipping through a book in his hand.
Everything is almost the same as it was three years ago.
"Shhh..."
Lin Jie turned over a page of the book, looked up and saw a little girl standing at the door looking at him, eyes red.
"Qi..."
Before he could finish the words he blurted out, he saw the little girl rushing over like a wind and rushing into his arms.
"boom!"
Head and chest touching, very solid voice.
Lin Jie subconsciously opened his arms to catch Qili, and vaguely felt a tight pain in his chest, secretly thinking that if this was replaced by a dead house who generally neglected to exercise, he would be knocked down on the spot.
This small body really contains a huge amount of energy.
He patted the back of Qili, who was hugging him tightly, and said softly, "It's alright, it's alright."
In my heart, I was thinking that this little girl really hasn't changed at all from three years ago.
I originally thought that I had learned to be on my own in three years, but I didn't expect to be a crybaby.
Qili hugged Lin Jie for a while, and suddenly realized that she had lost her way. She took two steps back in embarrassment.
Although she claims to have known Lin Jie for the longest time, such a move has been overstepped and too close.
She was a little worried that Lin Jie would be angry.
Lin Jie laughed dumbly, squatted down and pinched her cheek: "It's okay, long time no see, Qili."
Qili looked at his smiling face, her heart was beating wildly, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, Bella then walked into the bookstore, put the black suitcase in her hand on the counter respectfully, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed slightly: "Mr. Lin, visit as scheduled, please forgive me for being a little presumptuous. It's a small gift prepared by the master."
Lin Jie walked back behind the counter and looked at the dark suitcase, which looked like a cash box full of stacks of banknotes that had appeared in countless TV dramas.
He couldn't help but smile: "Come here, why do you bring such a precious gift..."
