I'm Really Not The Demon God's Lackey Chapter 10

“Another day without business.”

Lin Jie sighed, poured himself another cup of tea, and opened the book in his hand.

A life without business is a normal life for him.

It has been almost three days since the last time Lao Wang and the eldest lady borrowed books. During these three days, no guests came to the door.

The continuous torrential rain on the street outside made the concept of time lost.

For several days in a row, the weather in the upper city was drowsy. Except for the first time when some neighbors came out to buy some food reserves, no one came out after that.

There was silence on the street, only the sound of crackling rain and the sound of water flowing, which made people wonder if they were living in an aquarium and the sea was outside.

The water on the road has risen to an average height of about ten centimeters, but fortunately, No. 23 Street is a relatively high-lying place.

According to the news, people from about 30 streets in Nuojin have been forced to temporarily relocate to other blocks, which is really miserable.

Such abnormal weather has never happened several times in the history of NUO.

But for Lin Jie, apart from the fact that the weather is a bit cold and you need to add a coat, life is basically the same as usual.

For food, he has stored more than three months in the basement all year round, so there is no need to worry about it.

For energy, he has backup generators.

As for whether it will be boring, that is nonsense.

He has the entire earth’s library here, even if it is quantum speed reading, there is absolutely no way to finish it, let alone someone like him who studies every book carefully and takes notes.

Although Lin Jie did not have a reading addiction, his book collecting addiction more or less brought him this problem, and reading has become a habit over the years.

As a very serious nerd, this kind of life is simply paradise… except for having no money.

“But now I can have such a barely food and clothing life, I still have to thank that little black girl. If she was willing to sponsor my bookstore back then and gave me a formal business qualification certificate and temporary residence permit, otherwise I would not know that I would be here now. Where is it?”

Lin Jie turned another page, a little disappointed: “Speaking of which, she hasn’t been to the bookstore for a long time.”

The previous guests seemed to be busy people.

Although we have a good relationship with him, it usually takes a long time to come to the door. There are basically no people like Lao Wang.

For example, his first guest, the little girl with dark skin and white hair named Qi Li.

Ever since she came to the bookstore because of bullying on campus, she was counseled by Lin Jie and recommended a copy of “Nonviolent Communication”, and she never came again.

Probably because of the busy work.

But to let him, a black household operating without a license, be directly listed, and he can also give a large amount of sponsorship fees in one breath, so he must be a young lady of Ji Zhixu’s level.

Now that there are no customers coming to the door, and the weather is so bad, that unknown existence has not appeared since the last time he came out to check his presence.

Lin Jie finally felt that he had the mission of a time traveler, and suddenly became a salted fish again.

In the past three days, I have dug out all the works I have published before.

After all, what he needs to spread is the book he wrote, so he has to think carefully about how to recommend it.

It is also difficult for this kind of academic work to be given to others.

Still the same sentence, professional counterparts like Lao Wang are in the minority after all.

“jingle.”

The bell at the door suddenly rang.

Lin Jie, who was thinking about it, subconsciously said, “Welcome.”

He closed the book and looked up, only to see that the woman who walked in was Ji Zhixu whom he had just met not long ago, he couldn’t help being slightly taken aback, and then showed a business smile.

It really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.

I just muttered that there is no customer like Pharaoh, and a repeat customer came in a blink of an eye.

And it’s only been three days since the last time, right?

Could it be that the business of his bookstore is finally getting better? !

This lady may be a koi that can bring wealth, and she should be cultivated well.

With this mentality in mind, Lin Jie’s smile deepened: “Ah, so it’s Ms. Zhixu. No customer in my dilapidated bookstore has ever paid a return visit in such a short period of time before. You are the first one.”

Ji Zhixu bit his lip, feeling suddenly ashamed and ashamed.

After receiving such powerful guidance, he should have resolved the matter in one go, but he still had to come to the bookstore for help halfway through.

Maybe she is the most useless one among the so-called “customers” of the bookstore owner?

She could feel that the owner of the bookstore was not mocking, but that smile was a kind of tolerance and encouragement for the children.

But the more this happened, the more she felt extremely ashamed and ashamed.

“Sorry I let you down.”

Ji Zhixu touched his burning ears, walked to the counter and sat down.

She couldn’t help but put her eyes on the statue that suddenly appeared on the counter, and her heart skipped a beat, a wizard’s gargoyle?

No matter how you look at it, the dark statue with an evil shape like a demon is indeed a very common gargoyle that wizards will serve.

Although I didn’t feel the ether fluctuations, this bookstore didn’t have any ether fluctuations from the beginning, just like an ordinary bookstore.

However, the owner of the bookstore can produce books full of mysteries like “Blood and Beasts”.

It can be seen from this that it is not that there is no real absence, but that it is hidden too well.

“Boss, is this where you want to take me?”

Ryan also pushed the door in, looked around suspiciously and said, “Bookstore?”

He looked at Lin Jie who was sitting behind the counter—an ordinary person?

But he didn’t speak out, but temporarily swallowed his doubts, because he saw Ji Zhixu’s respectful expression and attitude.

Lin Jie was a little surprised that he brought someone else with him?

He looked at Ji Zhixu: “This is?”

Ji Zhixu was a little apprehensive, and waved his hand to signal Ryan to be quiet, thinking to himself that the owner of the bookstore would not be dissatisfied with her bringing others, right?

She said: “This is my subordinate, he is absolutely loyal, please rest assured.”

Lin Jie nodded, and then looked at Ji Zhixu with some pity.

Poor thing, I’ve been overshadowed by the scumbags, and the introducer has to wear a label of loyalty…

wait.

If she had completely followed what he said, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, and took revenge on that scumbag, then she shouldn’t be so unconfident now.

And what she said just now-“I let you down”.

Lin Jie looked at Ji Zhixu, and found that there was a look of shame in his eyes.

immediately.

His face became serious, his hands folded in a symbolic manner, and he said, “You failed?”
