The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Chapter 503 The Doll Takes Shape

To be honest, Heheluo is quite satisfied with his current work environment and compensation.

First of all, there aren't many people in Lin Xiyue's shop, which means that no one will form cliques and engage in those annoying workplace bullying tactics.

Moreover, if we can overcome the pressure from Meros, this place will feel like the company has a cute little cat—how wonderful would that be! (???)

Thinking of this, Heheluo couldn't help but smile, and his mood became pleasant.

"Boss, what can I do now?"

She is ready for today's work and hopes to complete her task smoothly.

"Hmm...you've done jigsaw puzzles before, haven't you?"

Just then, Lin Xiyue thought for a moment and then asked.

"Yeah, I gave it my all, and my patience was pretty good."

Hehelu thought for a moment, then answered solemnly.

"That's good. Conch, all you have to do now is follow the steps in this booklet to assemble the completed parts."

Lin Xiyue felt relieved after hearing He Hailuo's answer, and a smile appeared on her face. Then she explained in detail.

He Hailuo looked in the direction Lin Xiyue pointed and saw a pile of obvious doll parts on the carpet. They emitted a faint light, as if beckoning her to complete the final assembly.

"This booklet has detailed instructions. Take a look at it carefully, and you should be able to complete it smoothly. It won't be difficult."

As Lin Xiyue spoke, she rummaged through the messy pile of clutter and finally found a small booklet. She handed it to He Hailuo and gave him some instructions.

He Hailuo took the booklet with some surprise. She had originally thought the task would be difficult, but seeing Lin Xiyue hand it to her with such confidence, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

"Huh? Good, good."

He Hailu responded and then followed Lin Xiyue's finger to look at the pile of doll parts again.

She noticed that the most complex torso and head were not among the parts; those parts should still be in the hands of Lin Xiyue and Li Si, and were being made.

Therefore, the large pile in front of Hehelo was actually just the limbs of the doll.

Nevertheless, assembling these parts accurately is by no means an easy task.

Although they only have four limbs, their sheer number is astonishing.

These components are not a single unit, but rather disassembled one by one according to the structure of a skeleton.

As a result, at first glance, this pile of doll parts looks extremely terrifying, as if they were forcibly torn off from a human body.

Holding the booklet, Hehelu walked unhurriedly to the large pile of doll parts and then sat down naturally.

Her gaze casually swept over the pile of parts, finally landing on one of them. She picked it up and examined it.

After careful observation, Hehelo discovered that although the parts of this doll were made quite finely, fortunately, the joints were not actually like human bones, but rather used the circular joints commonly found when assembling ordinary dolls.

This discovery brought a slight sense of relief to Hehero, at least he didn't have to face overly realistic human bones.

Immediately afterwards, as if he were playing a 3D jigsaw puzzle, Hero began to enthusiastically assemble the arms, legs, and other parts.

She started with the smallest finger bones and carefully pieced them together one by one, which gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

..............................

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, illuminating the figures of Moros and Lin Xiyue.

After dressing, Meros greeted Lin Xiyue and turned to leave, his destination being the Psionic Center.

Lin Xiyue didn't pay much attention to this. She smiled and responded to Molos, then got up and continued to focus on her work—closing the shop and making that exquisite doll.

During the time that Melos was away, the atmosphere in the store remained unchanged.

Moreover, perhaps because there was an extra person to help, or perhaps because after the efforts of the first four days, most of the work had been completed and they had become more proficient.

Therefore, their movements became much faster.

Time passed quietly, and in the afternoon, Hehelu excitedly announced that he had successfully assembled all four limbs of the puppet.

The limbs were neatly arranged on the carpet. What should have been cute doll parts looked somewhat creepy for some reason.

At the same time, Li Si also completed the inscription of the magic circle on the puppet's torso.

Now, Lin Xiyue and He Hailuo are working together to install the meticulously crafted internal organs one by one into the torso.

Li Si stood before the lifelike head that Lin Xiyue had crafted, concentrating intently on inscribing the magic array on the head.

This was undoubtedly the most difficult step in the entire production process, because the size of the head was far too small compared to the required magic arrays, which were numerous and densely packed.

"By the way, Mr. Lin, how much did you charge for this job? Such strenuous work wouldn't be done in our area without a very high price, and you also need to book in advance."

While busy with her work, Li Si couldn't help but complain.

He felt this job was too troublesome, not only because it consumed a lot of time and energy, but also because he was being taken advantage of by his own boss without any compensation.

Lin Xiyue did not answer Li Si's words immediately, but looked thoughtfully at the lifelike head with its eyes closed that Li Si was holding in his hands.

"Hmm... I don't know yet, we might not even have any money?"

After a while, Lin Xiyue slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Si was stunned and stopped what he was doing.

His eyes widened, staring at Lin Xiyue in disbelief, as if he had heard something utterly unbelievable. "Huh? No money?!" he exclaimed.

"No money? How could we not have money? This is such a time-consuming and laborious task, how can we let it be taken for free?!"

Hehelo, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Yes, this is Guai Guai's owner! We only know Guai Guai."

"Think about it, how can a pet dog have its own savings? Their living expenses are all borne by their owners."

Lin Xiyue patiently explained to He Hailuo.

He Hailuo fell into deep thought after hearing Lin Xiyue's words.

She pondered Lin Xiyue's words carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more sense it made.

Indeed, most domestic dogs rely on their owners to provide food, shelter, and other necessities; how could they possibly accumulate wealth on their own?

"Hmm...that makes sense."

He Hailu nodded, suddenly realizing what was happening.
