Chapter 24

"Today is also a good day to help others."

Lin Jie sighed and sat back behind the counter.

There are really not many people in this society who are enthusiastic and kind-hearted like him.

He knew that the neighbor next door was actually a bastard lying in front of the TV with nothing to do every day. He could do nothing but eat and wait to die and complain every day.

Some people must think that helping such a person is useless?

However, one must learn to think long-term.

The brand of a store must start from the subtleties.

Just like he has always been able to get so many loyal customers, relying on his empathetic psychological counseling, and becoming friends with them, all of which need to be accumulated.

The video store next door is also an important source of customers for him.

Only with comparison can there be a deeper understanding.

Just imagine, suppose someone asked him and learned from him that the boss next door is a nice guy.

They felt that the owner of this store was a very nice person.

Maybe it will improve the idea of ​​​​taking a look.

Alas, I hope the boss next door can appreciate this hard work and attract more guests for him.

"jingle."

The bell at the door rang, and the sound of pattering rain was blocked again.

Lin Jie raised his head to look over, was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a surprised smile: "Old Wang, why did you come so soon this time?"

The guest who came was Wilde.

He was still wearing a suit this time, but he had changed into a relatively wide short cape, which was about the length that could cover his wrists.

Lin Jie always thought that Lao Wang's clothes were very good, with the style of an old British gentleman, and this time there was a sense of mystery.

Wilde first took off his hat and bent slightly, then walked over and sat down in front of the counter, took out the book, and said in an excited tone: "Thank you for your generosity, I have made great progress, and I feel that I am full of inspiration , I believe that in the near future, we will be able to make a formal breakthrough.”

He could feel that he was only one step away from the god level. Although it was still far away, it was no longer out of reach.

As long as he can sublimate the concept of his soul and find his own language.

Lin Jie clapped his hands and encouraged: "It is not easy to break through the current stage. Congratulations in advance. If you still need help, I will try my best."

Wilde put the book on the table and said sincerely: "Thank you very much, your work has benefited me a lot, but this time, it is time for me to formally express my gratitude."

Last time, he gave the gargoyle to Lin Jie.

But compared to the help Lin Jie gave him, the value of this gargoyle is insignificant.

Therefore, he is going to send a gift that he has prepared for two years, and at the same time, it is also the reason why he disappeared for two years.

Only the value of this gift can compare to the favor he has received in the past two years.

Although he is a cruel and heartless black wizard, he has his own principles and faith, and repaying kindness with kindness is also his insistence.

Lin Jie glanced at the gargoyle on the table, and said, "I was very satisfied with your gift last time. If you want to give something valuable this time, I will have to hesitate before accepting it."

Wilde knew that Mr. Lin was comforting him again.

What is "satisfaction"... There is a huge gap in value between the two, but Lin Jie always maintains a humble attitude and takes care of his thoughts.

Mr. Lin is a real strong man!

"You don't have to hesitate, it doesn't actually have much practical value for me, but it may be more useful for you."

Wilde insisted: "If you don't accept it, I will be very sorry."

Now that Old Wang said so, Lin Jie certainly couldn't refuse, saying: "After talking for so long, I still don't know what you have prepared, let me see first."

Wilde looked excited, then took a deep breath, and slowly and carefully took out a decoration like a wind chime from his cloak.

The main body is a circle made of twisted branches, and the ropes with beads are interspersed and woven in the center to form a complex and geometrically beautiful net.

There is a hole in the middle of the net, decorated with a faint blue irregular gemstone.

And below, hang some soft and beautiful feathers.

"Dreamcatcher?"

Lin Jie raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Lao Wang's gift to be this.

As a doctoral student majoring in folklore, he naturally does not simply study the folklore of his hometown, the most important thing is to quote from sources, so he has some understanding of the folklore of other countries or civilizations.

The dream catcher is a cultural symbol of the Indians.

Indians believe that the night air is full of dreams, and only dream catchers can filter out bad dreams and capture good ones.

Only good dreams pass through the hole in the center of the net and flow down the feathers, while bad dreams are trapped in the net and disappear with the rising sun.

There are also some legends that the beads on the dreamcatcher are the power and wisdom captured when people are asleep, which can strengthen people's communication with the spirit world.

In short, it is a blessing full of mystery.

I didn't expect that there are similar things in this world.

"You are so knowledgeable." Wilde praised Lin Jie as usual, and lifted the dream catcher in his hand slightly.

"That's right, it's the dream catcher."

He wasn't surprised that Lin Jie knew about this thing, because dreamcatchers were not very common as spell-casting props, but they weren't very rare either.

At least in the eyes of a destructive dark wizard, it is not unusual.

What's more, the greatest value of this thing has never been itself.

But the dream in the net.

It was also the first time for Lin Jie to see what should be an authentic artificial dream catcher.

Generally, the dream catchers sold in stores are mass-produced plastic decorations, which are fancy, but basically have no craftsmanship value.

The one in Lao Wang's hand is obviously hand-woven.

And recently, due to the heavy rain outside, the environment inside the bookstore has become very humid and hot, and his sleeping condition is indeed not very good.

Lao Wang's blessing is really thoughtful!

The gift is light and the affection is heavy, this is the real friend!

Lin Jie was very moved. He stood up, stretched out his hand to take the dream catcher from Lao Wang's hand, and sighed deeply: "This is exactly what I need, Lao Wang, thank you."

Relieved, Wilde showed an excited expression, suppressed trembling, and smiled: "It is my honor to be needed by you."

This net captures an unparalleled dream, but at the same time, it also contains terrifying dangers. Without god-level spiritual power, it is impossible to get in, or even if you get in, your soul will be crushed in an instant.

But for a high-ranking existence, it must be a rare enjoyment and pleasure.

"I wish you a sweet dream."
