[239 – Bell Rotifer]

Lin Jie looked at the delicate mechanical structure slowly unfolding from the small box in front of him, the shape that looked like a clock, and couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.

He looked at Andrew, who was worried, and looked at the clock again.

I couldn’t help complaining in my heart: “What are you giving? A clock? Are you here to apologize or to provoke?”

Of course, he was just silently complaining in his heart.

After all, Andrew on the opposite side looked like a native speaker of Azir’s English-like language. In the usual context, there is no homophonic saying that “send the bell” equals “send the end”.

——In fact, Lin Jie usually uses Azir’s English-like language for conversations with people. He only uses Chinese when talking to Ji Zhixu, and the books he gives are basically both Chinese and English. Anyway, On his bookshelf, any book on earth can be found.

Moreover, given the status and position of the other party, there is no reason to be so tangled and humble, and then deliberately do this.

This time it should just be an oolong… Hold on, this Andrew is the vice president of the Truth Society.

The truth will be a pure scholar organization. To be able to achieve this position, the knowledge should be extremely broad, right? It should have an understanding of the two languages of this world, don’t you know?

Lin Jie was a little suspicious, but the other party’s performance didn’t look like…

Boss Lin, who was in deep thought, put his eyes back on the gift in front of him for the time being. Launch URL https://m.xswang.com

The entire silver box is about ten centimeters wide, and twenty centimeters long and high. It looks very small. The surface is decorated with a layer of blue-green cloisonné enamel, which is very delicate and delicate.

After opening it, it is even more unique. The complex silver gears are exposed, and they are intertwined with each other. The mechanical structure is dizzying.

In the upper center is a smooth dial made of rubies set in a sterling silver frame. The hour and minute hands move independently. The hollow pattern carved on it is extremely dazzling, as detailed as described in the nuclear boat.

These decorations are scattered in this small space, and they are extremely delicate and gorgeous.

In terms of craftsmanship, it can be called a superb workmanship. Coupled with the various gems inlaid and the structure of the whole body of sterling silver, it is known to the naked eye that it is very valuable.

But what is even more peculiar is the structure that looks like a hamster wheel under the small clock.

On this wheel-like part, I saw… a caterpillar? !

Lin Jie tactically leaned back.

That’s right, it was a caterpillar with a whitish pattern on a pitch-black background!

The bug was slowly creeping forward on the wheel, and driving the wheel to turn with its own power.

And it is the rotation of the wheel that makes the gears embedded around it also rotate, and finally the whole device rotates, and the clock scale moves little by little.

In other words, this small hamster wheel is the device that powers the entire clock.

Lin Jie was shocked.

wdnmd, you rich people really know how to play. You can no longer satisfy you with cats and hamsters running on wheels. You even brought caterpillars!

And while playing with it, you also use this poor little bug as labor… You are real capitalist vampires!

Even the labor of the bugs is not spared!

But have to say…

From the point of view of enjoyment, the value of this small clock increased rapidly after the appearance of this worm wheel, from a common precious ornament to a unique one with special creativity and craftsmanship.

From Lin Jie’s point of view, its value has at least doubled.

It seems that… the other party did come with the determination to make amends.

But your choice of this gift is really auspicious…

Forget it, for the sake of your sincerity, let’s just treat it as a misunderstanding for the time being.

Lin Jie raised his head, looked at Andrew, and said, “This gift… not bad, I accepted it.”

His tone was still somewhat reluctant and resisting.

After all, as a Chinese person, I still pay more attention to this kind of connotative things. If the situation were changed, maybe Lin Jie would turn his face directly.

But this ingenious and scary craftsmanship, coupled with this very interesting bug wheel, is hitting the point that Lin Jie is very interested in.

And Andrew really had a good attitude, so Lin Jie was willing to accept this gift.

“Huh…that’s really great! Thank you for your generosity and tolerance! I…No, Hood and the others will definitely be grateful to you!”

Andrew breathed a sigh of relief, his pounding heart finally had a chance to pause, and his nervous and anxious mood finally relaxed, only then did he realize that there was already a cold sweat behind him.

He looked at Lin Jie’s darkened face just now, and was almost scared to death, his hands and feet were cold.

There is nothing more than great sorrow and joy. If the bookstore owner is not satisfied with this gift, he is afraid that he will not be able to get out of this door alive.

More importantly, I don’t know what went wrong at all… Andrew was confused.

He studied all the information about the bookstore and the owner of the bookstore for a long time so far, and determined that Lin Jie preferred things that were unique and related to that forgotten taboo history.

For example, the gargoyle is a masterpiece made by Wilde himself, and the magic sword is an artifact that has been passed down for thousands of years.

So Andrew thought about it carefully, and finally carefully selected the most suitable and valuable gift he thought was the “clock rotifer”.

Yes, this clock is not actually based on the clock.

The real core is the creature that looks like a caterpillar that powers the movement of the clock.

The remaining frame, which is actually a device used to assist in controlling the bug, also maximizes its power.

The power to control time!

The clock rotifer is a four-dimensional extraordinary creature that climbs in time. Of course, its body is not necessarily a bug, the name is just a name.

The caterpillar that can be seen now is only a part of its projection in the three-dimensional space that has been captured.

And the device that controls it around is the result of Andrew’s family’s unremitting efforts and research passed down from generation to generation.

It stands to reason that this is their family’s secret weapon, and Andrew, as the contemporary patriarch, is just the custodian.

But at this critical juncture of life and death, he naturally has to consider the greater interests.

What’s more, Andrew understands that after asking for help this time, he is completely tied to this bookstore, and his family is naturally the same.

Might as well just stud straight from the start.

In this way, you can also show your sincerity and brush your goodwill.

But I don’t know what went wrong, but Lin Jie showed dissatisfaction at the first sight of it… Fortunately, he accepted it in the end, although he still seemed to resist.

Andrew was exhausted and sighed deeply.

I really can’t figure out why such a valuable gift would make the other party unhappy.

When he was about to sit down and go further, a terrifying thought suddenly occurred in his mind.

Could it be that… the control of time is the power of the owner of the bookstore, so when I see this tiny bug again, I feel that this gift is insignificant, or even unhappy?
