CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 201: ACCUMULATED WEALTH! HESHAN’S GROWTH

"Not fighting? Then what do you want to do?" Rica stared wide-eyed at Lin Ke.

"Hehe." Lin Ke chuckled, "If your father and the Dark Princess want something, do they need to fight?"

"No need." Rica shook her head and added, "But you’re not a royal family member."

"What I mean is... asking her doesn’t necessarily have to be through force, there are many ways to obtain things." Lin Ke shook his head, "But it’s still too early to discuss this now, Rica. I’m just asking you, who can demand Uncle Billy’s soul from her?"

"Who can ask for it?" Rica pondered, then counted: "My dad, my mom, my second aunt, my big brother, my second brother, my third brother, and Uncle Mountain and Uncle Deep Blue..."

Rica listed a bunch and then looked at Lin Ke: "They all can... Could it be..."

"That’s right." Lin Ke nodded.

If the Dark Maiden wants something he doesn’t have, he can offer something else to someone who can request from the Dark Maiden.

The most abundant thing he has is actually profession matching!

Something like this, he believes no one would refuse.

But before that, he needs to have enough strength to protect these "assets."

"Alright, alright, yes, yes." Rica wasn’t stupid and also understood Lin Ke’s plan, pacing back and forth in the room:

"What should I offer to request? Ten million gold coins? Forget it, they all don’t lack money. Maybe steal my father’s sword? Hmm, can’t steal it, would get beaten, or those few divine items from the storage dimension? No way, they all know..."

Lin Ke listened, feeling tense, quickly raising his hand: "Alright, alright, Rica, I’ll think of the method, you stop thinking."

Steal the Insomnia Emperor’s sword... Steal divine items...

Even if you stole them, who would dare ask for them!

"Okay." Rica also felt powerless: "Why do I have nothing, everything I have comes from my parents, I have nothing."

"No, you still have shares." Lin Ke shook his head, "You have shares in the Azanen Theater Troupe, remember the agreement with your Curry Housekeeper?"

Speaking, Lin Ke smiled broadly as he sat down, knowing Butler Billy could be resurrected again, and that everyone who died in the war could be revived, he was in a good mood.

He raised the milk beside his hand and gulped it down.

"That’s right!" Rica’s eyes brightened, "I still have the Azanen Theater Troupe, I still have you!"

She looked at Lin Ke, excitedly said, "I want to follow you!"

"Pfft!"

Lin Ke almost spat out the milk he was about to swallow but managed to hold it in.

He looked at Rica speechlessly: "You, you better keep quiet."

"Hehe, I won’t." Rica knew it wasn’t possible, and said with a giggle, "I want to be your wife."

Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

The conversation couldn’t continue, it circled back to the starting point.

He had managed to change the topic, but it circled back again.

"By the way, Rica, now that I’m building a city, the ’Lin Ke’s shop’ in Gula Kingdom will rely on your care, and you have shares there too."

Lin Ke attempted to change the topic.

"Alright, I’m your wife, helping my husband manage assets is natural." Rica said with a giggle, her green eyes round and bright, innocently adorable as she rested her chin.

Lin Ke was at a loss for words.

He didn’t have much negative feelings towards Rica and was not afraid of potential difficulties from strong guardians like the Insomnia Emperor.

However, he needed to recognize his true feelings.

Love is not desire, is not about being well-matched, is not about using influence or being materialistic.

Love is just love, pure like family.

If the time truly comes, he won’t deny his true feelings, but until then, he won’t bow to money.

He lives his life to live like a human, not for material purposes.

So, until he recognizes his true feelings, he won’t agree to Rica.

Fortunately, at this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Lord Lin Ke, are you there?"

Lady Heshan’s rugged yet gentle voice sounded outside the door.

Lady Heshan!

Heshan finally arrived!

"Come in." Lin Ke quickly let her in.

"Young Master." Heshan, dusty and tired, came in, was surprised to see Rica, and pounded her chest in respect: "Her Highness Rica."

"Heshan is here." Rica stopped pestering Lin Ke, and obediently left: "I’ll go find Little John to make sour fruit cake."

Lin Ke looked at Heshan and directly asked: "How’s the establishment of the Great Wilderness Bank going?"

Great Wilderness Bank!

This was something Lin Ke had long been planning.

Although the Goddess of Wealth is a Neutral God, she has no vested interest in Lin Ke.

But since the Goddess of Wealth didn’t have a deep understanding of wealth, it’s not Lin Ke’s fault.

The giants from the past controlled one of the pillars of the world: finance.

Lin Ke doesn’t want the future financial economy lifeline to fall into others’ hands.

"Young Master Lin Ke, it’s difficult." Speaking of the bank, Lady Heshan showed distress: "I asked the staff, they prefer to keep their money themselves rather than give it to the Divine Hall of Wealth or us."

Although the Divine Hall of Wealth has similar savings and loan services, they develop extremely immaturely.

One of the most important reasons is the exchange rate.

Copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins have a one to ten exchange rate, quite simple and crude.

However, the real buying power and real value is the most valuable in gold coins.

So it resulted in people saving gold coins and using silver and copper coins to exchange for gold coins, eventually leading to the Divine Hall of Wealth reducing savings-related services.

However, savings are important.

"Did you mention the interest?" Lin Ke asked again, as saving interest is an important attraction.

"Yes, but they don’t believe it." Heshan shook her head, "Many people fear we’ll collapse; after all, we are just a shop."

Not believe.

Credit system!

Lin Ke was somewhat helpless.

No matter if it’s Ove or Swain supporting from behind, there’s a risk of downfall.

Most people know this truth.

And the currency system’s most important is credit, without trust, it can’t be operated.

"Alright, we can only wait until Great Wilderness City is built." Lin Ke was also helpless: "How are the lottery, raffle, and paper sales doing?"

These are profitable ventures.

Now Lin Ke is building a city, with countless materials waiting for him to purchase.

"Our Azanen Paper can profit around eight hundred thousand monthly, lottery profits around six million, and raffle profits around twelve million, after distributing seventy percent of shares to the royal family, the total gold coin amount is about six million..."

Heshan gave Lin Ke a general introduction, simultaneously showing joy, "My ’merchant’ also successfully advanced to level ten, thanks to you."

Six million...

Lin Ke slightly sighed.

Those industries in the past, just how lucrative were they!
