Chapter 122

While Morn, the Ash Chamber of Commerce and others were busy, Lin Jie ran to the video store next door that had been abandoned by Colin—of course, it was now owned by Lin Jie—and walked around.

It needs to be explained here that he does not never go out, but he rarely goes out, otherwise his daily food and research materials cannot be conjured out of thin air.

"...Did Colin 'loot' the place before he left? However, he seems to have sprayed perfume on his shop."

Lin Jie looked at the messy interior of the audio-visual store speechlessly, pushed the door open, walked around all kinds of sundries on the ground, walked in and looked left and right, and had a panoramic view of the general layout.

Being able to open in such an excellent and quiet location, the business is as hot as his bookstore, so naturally it won't be a big shop.

The entire audio-visual store is a circle smaller than his bookstore, with shelves in the middle and all sides, resulting in a very narrow and crowded space.

With Colin's stature, it is estimated that it is quite difficult to walk among these shelves every day.

"It's no wonder he always likes to lie on the sofa and watch TV."

While complaining, Lin Jie browsed through various discs, tapes and magazines that were visited in the video store.

—he selectively forgot the fact that he always liked reading behind the counter, too.

Colin's video store sells the same things as the video stores on Earth, discs of various movies and songs, as well as tertiary and even... quaternary films that focus on vulgar and exciting movies, various entertainment magazines, covers Girls are all about how they reveal and how they imply, but the specific content is definitely different.

These things are all placed in the most conspicuous place, and the more serious movie songs are all placed below, basically you can see what kind of virtue this video store is.

Lin Jie seldom touches these things, but he doesn't shy away from or despise them. Instead, he rummages through all the shelves with great interest.

In his view, this is also part of culture and customs.

A complete civilization must have both high-level and low-level things, the elegant and profound, the vulgar and superficial, detached from material desires and relying on material desires, just like Tai Chi Yin and Yang, complement each other and are inseparable.

When he studies folklore, he is used to looking at things in a dialectical way, and he rarely denies or affirms them completely, so he has a high degree of acceptance.

But there is only so much space here, and soon Lin Jie saw the single sofa that Colin had moved, and the TV that was fixed on the wall with a special bracket.

Lin Jie listens to this TV broadcasting news every day.

He searched for it, and found the remote control in the sofa. When he touched it, his hands felt oily, and he knew that the remote control was probably "wrapped" by Colin for a long time every day. .

Lin Jie tried it, and the TV was still in good condition, so he went upstairs to watch it as well.

The strange thing is that there are a lot of refined salt, gold leaf and a few pearls on the table upstairs, as well as some plant powders for unknown purposes, and there are a few dried grasses that seem to be the main body next to it.

Lin Jie picked it up and sniffed it, then pondered, "It smells the same as the fragrance downstairs. Does Ke Lin still have a hobby of making incense? You really can't judge by appearance. It seems that I really don't know my neighbor well enough. Lin, this can be regarded as Zhang Fei piercing the needle, thick and thin."

However, because of the refined salt in these materials, Lin Jie had another idea.

In Western beliefs, salt can be used to exorcise demons.

So during the period when he misunderstood him as an evil spirit, Colin may have used this formula to exorcise demons.

Originally, Lin Jie was unlikely to have such an association, but King Candela, whom he had rescued in the great sword, gave him a new idea, so he came up with this idea subconsciously.

"Whether it is or not, anyway, the misunderstanding is resolved now, and the Colin people are gone, so it doesn't matter."

Lin Jie put down his things and walked down to the second floor. The rest of the area belonged to Colin's original living area, and there was nothing to see. Let Edmund come over and clean it up later.

He intends to transform it into a "book bar" attached to the bookstore.

Lin Jie's original shop was full of bookshelves, without even a stool, and customers could only browse around when they came in. It was very inconvenient to stand and read books. In addition, they were all unfamiliar books, so basically they could only rely on his initiative to recommend them.

He has long been used to the layout there, so why not just change it here and use it to store books he has already read, as well as some leisure and entertainment books and magazines, which can be borrowed and purchased at will, and then sell some milk tea Whatever, let Moen manage it.

On the other hand, the main body has become a library-like shop.

Each has its own advantages, which may attract more customers.

Lin Jie went back to Edmund to express his thoughts, Moen's new identity had been settled, and the next job of those followers was to renovate and renovate the second floor of the bookstore and the store next door.

It was already three days after the general layout was completed, and the ash merchant association also formally bid farewell to Lin Jie.

Regarding Lin Jie's enthusiastic sales promotion, Edmund said that Miss Qili was still waiting for their return, and it was inconvenient for them to stay any longer, so Lin Jie had no choice but to give up regretfully.

He left Mo En to watch the store, went to the newly built book bar alone, touched the brand new bookshelf and tentatively said: "Xiao Hei?"

Xiao Hei's way of appearing on the stage has always been strange.

This time it was his shadow "folded" by the corner of the wall. Covered by the evening sun, the shadow deepened and elongated, forming a new individual on the wall.

Lin Jie looked at Xiao Hei on the wall, and asked with a smile, "Can I do you one more favor?"

He previously speculated that it would be good for Xiao Hei to recommend his own book to the Azir people, so he just recommended his "Emblem and Totem" to Doris' family not long ago, and it was three times in one breath. More than ten books, it shouldn't be difficult to ask Xiao Hei to help add a few more books.

After all, when he only recommended a copy of "Ritual and Folklore" to Wilde, Xiao Hei volunteered to do him a small favor.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Jie finished speaking, Xiao Hei "collapsed" and turned into a black shadow covering all the bookshelves. As Lin Jie thought, different kinds of entertainment and leisure books, novels, magazines appeared... Everything you need.

The way to control the bookshelf is the same as that of the old bookstore, it is all based on the mind.

"very good, thank you!"

Lin Jie looked around happily, and when he looked up again, Xiao Hei on the wall had disappeared.

It really hides merit and fame...

Lin Jie muttered, and went back to his bookstore first, and then let Mo En come over to get acquainted.

The second floor has been converted into two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a study, and a small gym. Moen lives in the smaller bedroom.

Lin Jie finally took back control of his own bedroom, and because things went well, he planned to go to bed early to celebrate.

Lying on the bed, he boredly took out the fate coin that he had always carried with him and tossed it once. Because the front and back of the coin were the same, he put a red dot on the side that was the lucky coin before.

"Looks like I'm going to have a good dream today."

Lin Jie looked at the red dot on the corner of the coin in his hand, sighed and turned off the light to sleep.

But he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes again, there was a familiar whiteness in front of him.

The woman with white hair and silver eyes smiled gently at him:

"Welcome back."
