As soon as Ji Bonong's voice fell, the whole banquet began to riot.
Everyone stared at the five books at the same time, as if their eyes were glued, no matter what thoughts they had in their minds before, there was only one thought left at this moment - get them!
Not all extraordinary people attended the banquet, and there were also many ordinary people, but even if they could not understand what attracted them at this time, they were seized by the strong instincts rising like a hound chasing a hare.
The mystery of that book, the mere appearance is enough to fascinate people and generate endless curiosity and longing.
Although this book cover seems ordinary, its style is unprecedented. It seems to come from another world, exuding an out of place atmosphere. It is so eye-catching, but when you recall it carefully, you feel that they have no impression in your mind. It's as if you can see them for real only when you actually own them.
Maybe they are some lost pearls, just waiting for someone to discover their secrets
Otherwise, why would the famous Rolle Resources Development Company cooperate with the unnamed bookstore owner to announce the cooperation at his daughter's birthday party
These books must be of great value!
For the extraordinary, the moment these books appeared in the field of vision, they had already inspired their inspiration, as if they were thrown into a storm, and the raindrops that hit their faces were the terrifying atmosphere emanating from these books.
What they see in these books varies, but they all point directly to the pinnacle of power, to a certain desire deep within them...
Even if I can't get it, I can't let other people get it.
The people who raised their heads and stared straight at those books, their eyes were naked and greedy, as if they had turned into a group of beasts waiting for their prey in the dark, making people shudder.
…
Od Renof is a panic-level dark wizard from the Central District Central Agency, whose position is the watchdog.
Few people—even extraordinary ones—have heard of this institution.
But in fact, this agency is closely related to a well-known department, and has jurisdiction over the latter, that is, the Central Police Station.
Under normal circumstances, if people refer to something as "instruction of the central district", "instruction of the central district", etc., in fact, the central district is talking about the central authority of the central district.
It's just that most people obviously think that this central area refers to those high-ranking nobles and extraordinary people living in the central area.
There will even be some ignorant mortals who regard Rolle resources as this commander.
If Odd heard such a statement, he would only scoff.
Those nobles are no more than ants, and the extraordinary is a mess of sand, but... instead, they are the most absurd Luoer resources, which are somewhat close to the truth.
Because Rolle Resources is also directly under the central organization.
Thousands of years ago, when Nuojin was still a human kingdom, and Luoer Resources was still an expeditionary army sent by the country to the underground ruins, the latter was the tool of the former.
Thousands of years later, Nuojin has become a man-made steel city. The ruler of the year has become the central organization that dispatches everything. The army made of iron and blood has put on the coat of the company.
However, a tool is still a tool, no matter how powerful it looks, it can only serve its owner.
And in order to prevent tools from generating undeserved ideas, the position of supervisor came into being.
Of course, when Ji Bonong held a banquet every year to invite all kinds of wealthy businessmen and extraordinary people to be very "dangerous", Oder, who was the monitor, could not be absent.
As early as when Lin Jie appeared, Oder had already reported to his head.
Although Lin Jie's information has long been blocked by the Secret Ritual Tower, the center is naturally qualified to call the database. This bookstore owner is the object of the center's attention.
When there is an abnormality later, especially when Greg asks Lin Jie for help, he will report according to different levels as usual.
But the reply given by the center is always to continue to observe.
Odd was unsure of the meaning above, so he had to remain vigilant and keep an eye on the movements of Ji Bonong and Lin Jie.
Finally, when the banquet was over, I thought this work would end smoothly.
I didn't expect that such a change would happen...
Rolle Resources, in partnership with the bookstore…? !
Oder suddenly widened his eyes, and his first subconscious reaction was to contact the center to report the situation. The first thought in his mind was "I really have to make a great contribution this time"!
The above has always suspected that Ji Bonong has a different heart, but this guy hides deeply and usually doesn't show anything. As for his daughter, he should have died long ago...
It's just that I didn't expect to get involved with that mysterious bookstore later.
But even if Ji Zhixu was allowed to be involved with the bookstore, it was absolutely impossible for Luoer Resources to officially cooperate with the bookstore owner.
This time, as long as he reported the situation immediately, he truly caught Ji Bonong's fox tail. As a supervisor, this is the biggest credit!
But this kind of thinking can only last until he sees the five books.
"That is… ?!"
Oder's action of launching the communication spell stopped in mid-air, staring at the books without blinking.
His gaze changed from dazed, confused, and shocked, to bottomless greed.
After a long while, he lowered his hands, gave up the communication spell, still stared at the books, and then slowly retreated into the shadow behind him, disappearing into the darkness.
He was already in the corner, and this silent movement didn't attract anyone's attention.
But at the same time, he could also feel that many of the Transcendents hidden above the banquet had done the same thing as him.
…
Franka, who came to the banquet on behalf of her white wizard family, was sitting in the corner of the hall. She sat on the seat uneasily, her hands on the knees of her long skirt, and she looked around blankly.
Although it felt that the atmosphere suddenly went wrong, she didn't know what was going on.
Rolle Resources partnering with a bookstore to develop a new business is indeed a major event to be surprised and concerned about, but the reaction from others is obviously very wrong...
The girl looked at the terrifying smiles frozen like sculptures on the faces of those people, the strange greedy light in the eyes, and couldn't help shrinking her neck.
Could it be that... Are there any differences between those books
Thinking of this, the girl mustered up her courage again, turned her head sideways, looked around the male companion and guard in front of her, and tried her best to see what the books looked like.
Unfortunately, with her ordinary eyesight, even if she tried her best, she could only read the name on the book that was closest to her.
"Classic...home-cooked...a thousand...cases...?"
Franka stumblingly muttered to herself, a big question mark appeared on her head.
She blinked in confusion, making sure she was not mistaken.
Roll Resources has partnered with that bookstore to sell... cookbooks
Franka felt like she wanted to say something to comment on this unreasonable thing, but on second thought, even if she sold the recipe, there was nothing to blame if she wanted to.
Maybe, maybe the owner of the bookstore, who seemed very mysterious from the beginning, wanted to test the sincerity of Rolle Resources' cooperation
Hmm...that makes perfect sense.
But using such a joking way to test sincerity, wouldn't that person be afraid of Rolle Resources turning his face? Or is he fearless
Franka pinched the corner of her shirt and asked her male companion in a low voice, "Mike... What's the identity of that bookstore owner?"
The young man in front of him turned his head, he had a handsome and deep face, but Franka knew that he was actually a hunter with decent strength and his mental state was below the threshold.
Injected with filthy blood from the serpent of the god-level dream beast Mobius.
It was the snake from the twisted space in the dream, connecting all distances in the world.
Although Franka's talent as an extraordinary person is almost non-existent, she is the only descendant of the family patriarch, and even if she is a child of an ordinary person, she has been given the strictest protection.
But at this moment, Mike's eyes have completely turned into snake pupils, the sides of his face and neck are covered with scales, and the dark purple blood vessels are protruding, as if he is about to lose control.
But a string of runes appeared on his skin, like chains, tightly confining his movements, preventing him from hurting his master in the slightest, and retaining a sense of reason.
"his..."
Mike was forced to kneel down, looked at his little master, spat out a snake letter, his face was full of pain, shook his head, and tried his best to suppress himself, but it was still difficult to resist the call from instinct, and he said in a difficult and hoarse voice: "Yes... He is... God... I saw... Book... Wanted..."
He raised his head, his expression full of greed, and tremblingly said: "Master, do you want a book?"
Franka was still thinking about the meaning of "God", and with a "huh", she couldn't help but look at the classic home-cooked recipe, her face flushed with embarrassment.
As a child of a wizarding family, it is indeed a shame to not have the talent for magic.
But... she's really a little bit more interested in cooking.
"Okay." Franka stretched out a finger pretending to be embarrassed and said, "You can only buy one copy, go back and say it's your proposal!"
Mike lowered his head and covered the corners of his mouth: "Okay."
…
"Five?!"
Greg looked at the five books in astonishment, stunned, even ignoring his heavy heart.
Even though witnessing the great cause of turning back time, the final result is still that Joseph and Wilde are suspected of perishing together. Only the news that Melissa has been sent to a safe point, even her strong heart has been tortured and exhausted.
He didn't have the courage to ask Boss Lin any more questions, and spent the last two days in a daze.
Can only believe that Joseph is not dead.
However, at this moment, the appearance of the five books suddenly pulled him out of his lost soul, and was instead covered in an extreme panic.
Greg's thoughts seemed to go back to the day he broke into the wing, Boss Lin and Ji Bonong... Were they talking about this at the time? !
But he and everyone else were all caught up in Joseph's safety at the time. Who would have thought... This demon would actually take out five books in one go, and it seemed that they would be printed in batches in the future? ! ! !
"What the hell is he trying to do?"
Greg was horrified, and he could almost think of the chaotic future of Nuojin... We must hurry up and report this to the Mystery Tower!
Mystery Tower…
He hesitated suddenly.
Even Teacher Joseph is a pawn they use to try and please Lin Jie... In this case, would they really care
"No no no, what am I thinking!"
Greg shook his head suddenly, gritted his teeth, and dialed the communicator.
Charlotte held the book in her arms and looked at him with a smile: "Don't waste your efforts, no one will come to be this savior, when the end comes, everyone is only for self-protection, who will come sacrificing yourself."
Greg said coldly: "Wilde is dead, and the rabble of the corpse-eating sect will soon be surrounded and suppressed. Are you still in the mood to speak sarcastically here?"
Charlotte's smile remained unchanged: "Death is not eternal, if Lord Wilde returns to the embrace of God, I will be the next successor and continue to control the corpse-eating sect—if I leave here, it means that the corpse-eating sect will continue to exist. , and now, it's a great time for you, an apprentice knight, to become a regular..."
The corners of her mouth were upturned, forming a mocking arc: "You, dare to stop me?"
"… "
Greg clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
But he had to admit that he really wasn't sure to keep Charlotte.
"Ah… "
Charlotte smiled deeper: "One day, you will understand which is the right path."
…
The spies of the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce, hidden in the crowd, quietly tapped unknown secret codes towards the communication device in their hands, and communicated them with special techniques.
The members of the dark elf elder faction of the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce, thousands of miles away, began to piece together this information bit by bit.
"That bookstore owner actually cooperated with Rolle Resources?! And Wilde is dead..."
In the dark underground, a man said in surprise, "Why is this, doesn't it say that Qili's ability comes from the bookstore... Is he going to give up Qili?!"
"I didn't expect that the two tools of the Ji family could get such a fate..."
Another old voice said, "After the death of the spider mother who cut fate, the fate of the dark elves has become more and more bleak."
"If that's the case, it's not bad for us. Once Qili loses her backing, won't it be easy for us?" Another woman whispered, "You're just a half-blood, who has the right to get involved in the Ash Tree Chamber of Commerce? ."
The man said: "Since that's the case, when Qili comes back this time, let's do it."
…
"Boss Lin, what do you think?"
Ji Bonong took the five books in his hands. After the five books were displayed, they were solemnly put into a specially prepared delicate brass box, which was very ceremonial.
As expected... This group of people came to attend Miss Ji's banquet and didn't come to congratulate them sincerely. They were all a group of sharks who smelled blood and wanted to pry some Luoer resources out of Ji Bonong's mouth.
As long as there is interest, they can be driven.
Who doesn't want to be a pig in the wind
Lin Jie looked at the attendees below who were blinded by interests, narrowed his eyes, and smiled: "Aiya, if you think it suits you, I think these books should be very popular. After all, they are all books with a relatively low threshold.”
"If more people like these samples, you can come to me to get more. After all, I still hope that more people can share these interesting books..."
Ji Bonong glanced at the group of wolves below, who were as ambitious as wolves, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."
After he finished speaking, he loudly announced the successful conclusion of the banquet, and the crowd in the banquet hall stirred for a while, and then dispersed.
Lin Jie and Ji Bonong chatted for a while in the side hall. Boss Lin looked at the sky, then stood up and said, "Okay, it's almost time, thank you very much Mr. Ji and Miss Ji for letting me spend time here. It was a very pleasant three days."
Ji's father and daughter immediately said, "This is our honor!"
When they sent Lin Jie to the door, the black-haired young man suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "The snow has stopped..."
He turned around, waved his hand and smiled and said, "Just send it here, but the snow hasn't melted yet. Be careful on the way back."
