This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 456 - 397: Financial Goddess, Achieved!

"Little Lin Ke?"Antova turned around while fanning herself, slightly surprised, "Where’s your mom?"

Lin Ke was at a loss for words.

What about Fulon?

Should Lin Ke tell Auntie that Fulon’s soul had long ventured to the Star Realm and was probably in dire straits?

But...

Even though Lin Ke said nothing, Antova’s expression changed.

Antova stopped directing them and walked over quickly, a trace of panic in her eyes, "What’s wrong, Lin Ke, what happened to your sister?"

Antova was somewhat panicked!

Lin Ke didn’t expect Antova to be so sensitive; he let his guard down for a moment, and she noticed.

Little did he know that Antova had watched Lin Ke grow up and was familiar with his every move.

The brief flash of sadness in Lin Ke’s eyes was captured by her, plus the city was full of strong individuals. Fulon’s beauty might have led to her being taken away!

But then she remembered the power of the Insomnia Emperor and felt slightly relieved.

"Auntie, you’ve been too tired recently." Lin Ke could feel that Antova was clearly exhausted, causing her emotions to be unstable.

Nearby, the workers were eyeing Antova and Lin Ke with curiosity, their gossip instincts on high alert,

"I..." Antova realized her mistake, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them to look at Lin Ke, "So, what happened to your mother?"

Lin Ke looked at Antova and spoke about what Revin had discovered.

As he recounted the events, Antova’s face grew increasingly pale.

One must understand, the bond between Antova and Fulon was extraordinarily close, like sisters.

Yet, although Antova’s face was pale at this moment, she didn’t completely break down. Instead, she worriedly looked at Lin Ke and comforted, "Little Lin Ke, Fulon is just out playing..."

Saying this, Antova paused.

By now, Lin Ke was no longer a child.

She looked at Lin Ke’s now grown and mature face, dazed for a moment, then continued, "...In the future, you must bring your mother back."

Lin Ke didn’t say much, just nodded firmly.

"Then I’ll get back to business." Antova was somewhat absent-minded, but Lin Ke stopped her, "No, Auntie, you should go rest."

In her current state, Antova was in no shape to continue working.

"Okay." Antova understood that pushing herself to work would only be counterproductive, so she didn’t refuse and prepared to go back to rest.

Lin Ke took a deep breath and went to check on the progress at the transaction center.

Here, the staff were busy setting up various kinds of equipment, mostly different types of monitors made from Memory Stones.

These monitors were connected via electromagnetic waves and powered by magic.

However, stabilizing these electromagnetic connections cost a lot. If they could bring over internet and network technology from Fasiri, it might be simpler and more convenient.

Nonetheless, Lin Ke would soon return to Faser, and the priority was to check the transaction center’s status.

After Antova left, Lin Ke arrived.

For the workers here, they might originally have wanted to slack off, but under Lin Ke’s supervision, they were eager to give it their all, full of energy.

And just as Lin Ke was overseeing everything, someone suddenly came looking for him.

...

Milk tea shop.

Lin Ke didn’t understand why girls loved drinking milk tea, but he also liked dairy products, and the milk tea here was made from dairy products, so he didn’t mind.

"So, you sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough?" Lin Ke pondered for a moment, looking at Xiangnai across from him.

"That’s right." Xiangnai drank her milk tea in a carefree manner, her body sprawled casually on the seat. Her loose mage robe hardly covered what it should, exposing much of what it shouldn’t. Alongside her was a hefty magic staff, flopped across her legs.

Lin Ke could barely watch!

"What do you need?" Lin Ke wanted to end the conversation quickly, eager to go back and transcribe the Diamond Sutra.

Although Naseng was quite liberal regarding relationships, Rica wasn’t someone who enjoyed sharing.

"Need? Sis here needs you..." Xiangnai took a big sip of the milk tea, letting out a satisfied moan, her vibrant little tongue lightly licking the straw.

"Hiss..." Lin Ke sharply inhaled, his face weary and resigned, "Alright, Xiangnai, you know Rica’s temper..."

"I don’t mind." Xiangnai’s gaze shifted as she sipped her milk tea, though the liquid didn’t seem to move, instead her "legendary soft stones" seemed to.

Oh gosh... can’t continue this conversation...

Lin Ke glanced around, thankful no one noticed, but it was still quite awkward!

This several-hundred-year-old woman, is she an extroverted socialite?

"Fine, if you need nothing, I’ll just consider who should first ascend to godhood..." Lin Ke scoffed, ready to get up and leave.

Xiangnai’s eyes subtly showed a hint of disappointment, but then she let out a few soft laughs, "Haha, little brother, your sister betrayed that big-headed, brainless idiot of a Goddess of Wealth, and now she pins her hopes on you..."

As she spoke, Xiangnai’s expression became serious again as she addressed Lin Ke, "Lin Ke, I can sense that the opportunity is within your transaction center."

Indeed!

Lin Ke realized that online payments might have to be prioritized.

In the current Great Wilderness City, cards could be freely swiped.

As long as residents had an ID card, it could store financial information. By depositing Azanen Coins into the bank, the balance would show on the ID card, allowing for card swipes in stores.

From gold, silver, and copper currencies, they directly jumped to online payments—it’s undeniable that the Great Wilderness City was at the forefront.

Of course, there were also quite a few challenges, but luckily they were resolved one by one.

And now, with the establishment of a trading platform, some things from Lin Ke’s past could be replicated here.

For example... Alipay.

One must admit, Alipay was a revolutionary invention, transforming human civilization from cumbersome material equivalents to data equivalents.

An equivalent, generally speaking, is money.

Xiangnai needed just one last push to become the Financial Goddess.

"Alright then, Xiangnai, today I’ll share some things with you." Lin Ke said solemnly, "About money, about economy, about finance, about accounting, about wealth and value..."

Fortunately, he had some background knowledge from his previous life, making it easy to explain in a simple and understandable way.

"The essence of money, regardless of its form, should be its representative value rather than its intrinsic value; from ancient shell currencies to silver coins, and now to Azanen Coins..."

Lin Ke began his lecture.

Xiangnai listened intently.

She had always known her lord was more capable than most, including the Goddess of Wealth.

But today, she realized that Lin Ke’s prowess far exceeded her imagination!

This strength in thought and knowledge left Xiangnai both shocked and enchanted, deeply immersed in the study of such knowledge.
