This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 444 - 385: Lin Ke’s Fans?

Feel familiar?For professionals, feeling familiar means they must have seen it before, which is why it leaves an impression.

So, some professionals start to recall and, if they can’t, just forget about it.

Some professionals don’t care at all and continue to eat, drink, and have fun.

Yet others directly recognize Lin Ke.

"That’s..."

A few nearby noblewomen, young ladies, female scholars, or female warriors saw Lin Ke and their eyes lit up slightly, then they immediately started moving in this direction.

Upon noticing each other’s presence, they exchanged wary glances and unconsciously quickened their pace.

However, how could Lin Ke let these people approach?

He immediately used a pressure shield to block them.

These people frowned slightly, looking shocked. Then they saw a woman with a bow, presumably a professional hunter, raising her hand to shout, but Lin Ke quickly used the pressure shield to cover her mouth.

That professional seemed to be around level ten, quite strong, but she still couldn’t make a sound under Lin Ke’s sudden attack.

In the next instant, there was a slight fluctuation in the professional energy around Lin Ke, and he disappeared from their sight.

Once the pressure shield disappeared, these people rushed over quickly, but only Vilune, a middle-aged man, stood up with a helpless expression and left. He had finished his expansion work and was now following the invisible Lin Ke to expand inns and restaurants.

"Ah, ah, ah! That’s the famous writer of ’Notre-Dame Cathedral’! I really want his autograph!"

"Mr. Lin Ke’s paintings are amazing! I really want him to paint a ’sincere’ portrait for me... I mean, Mr. Lin Ke is so handsome and muscular!"

"I wonder how the young Duke of Lava performs in ’riding’ skills. Oh, Goddess of Love, I’m so envious of the Little Princess of Tree Shepherdess."

Those people felt regret and anger, but the female hunter merely gave them a disdainful look and walked away.

As time goes by, changes gradually happen at Great Wilderness Plaza, which few people inside notice. However, some more perceptive or powerful professionals realize that the plaza has become much more spacious.

...

The invisible Lin Ke and Vilune arrive at the next location together.

This is a bustling hotpot restaurant, serving Sichuan-style hotpot.

The entrance is packed with all sorts of strange intelligent creatures coming and going, with a long queue outside, and the inside staff are so busy they could fly.

The owner inside is a retired Azanen soldier, with both lower legs lost, sitting at the cashier, calculating bills.

"Mr. Lin Ke, are we remodeling this place?" Vilune looked at the hotpot restaurant and inquired. He had actually been here before and thought the taste was very nice, quite novel, and unique.

"Yes, let’s expand it first, and let the owner figure out how to manage the expanded tables and stools afterward." Lin Ke replied with a slight nod to Vilune.

Even a small space incurs costs.

Lin Ke had Bald Jack inform the store owners under his company about the availability of small spaces in Great Wilderness City, letting them sign up if interested.

Of course, the price for such a small space is calculated, not given for free.

But this doesn’t affect the enthusiasm of those store owners at all.

Great Wilderness City had been bustling for years, being a veritable hub of population flow and a metropolis.

Many adventurers didn’t like to venture into the Lava Swamp before, but with Great Wilderness City as a supply station, many adventurers began treading into this treacherous land of Naseng by noon.

Coupled with the extremely prosperous commerce of Great Wilderness City, many merchants who couldn’t afford the Space-Time Teleportation Array had to resort to long-distance overland transportation, rushing between Great Wilderness City and other cities, which not only stimulated business and consumption but also boosted mercenary tasks in the Scarlet Wilderness.

Thus, opening any store almost always led to booming business.

These store owners were never worried about selling less or earning little; they worried that the space was too small and they weren’t making enough.

Almost all store owners signed up for the project to add a small space to their shops.

As for Lin Ke, he now has to inspect each store individually. If he finds the location and business conditions suitable, he expands; otherwise, he doesn’t, that’s all.

The first store, the hotpot restaurant.

Lin Ke walked in and appeared in front of the store owner, startling him from his accounts.

"Lin... Lin Lin Lin..." The owner looked up and saw Lin Ke’s face, jumping in surprise, dropping his quill.

Lin Ke shook his head and smiled, "Let’s save time and keep it quiet; we’re here to expand for you."

Expansion!

Upon hearing these words, each store owner immediately understood Lin Ke’s intention.

Their store passed the review!

The store owner blushed with excitement and nodded forcefully in agreement.

To prevent claims of queue-jumping, Lin Ke also made Vilune invisible, and then Vilune began setting up at the restaurant’s entrance.

Once the setup was complete, significant changes could be seen throughout the hotpot restaurant, including the back kitchen, dining area, and kitchen, just waiting for the owner to rearrange everything.

"Sigh, if I weren’t so busy, I’d really love to have hotpot before leaving." Lin Ke, smelling the tantalizing aroma, felt his mouth watering.

However, there was a lot of work to be done today, and Lin Ke wanted to take advantage of this round to make Great Wilderness City extremely prosperous.

"Let’s go; let’s check out the next store."

Lin Ke waved his hand, "We need to speed up; once we’re done, I’ll treat you to a meal at the hotpot restaurant."

"Very well, very well." Vilune laughed heartily, then accompanied Lin Ke to the next shop.

Not long after they left, the female hunter appeared at the hotpot restaurant.

The professional power on her body emitted lightly as her eyes scanned the surroundings, and her nose twitched continuously like a dog’s.

"How did the scent of the Duke of Lava get in here? Did he go inside?" The female hunter prepared to enter, but was stopped by the staff and informed she needed to queue to get in.

So, the female hunter obediently lined up, but by the time she made it inside, an hour had passed.

Once inside, she found Lin Ke wasn’t there but was overwhelmed by the spicy and appetizing aroma of the Sichuan hotpot, so she resolutely took eighteen Azanen Coins from her savings, ordered a full table of dishes, and relished the meal.

"I must admit, this stuff is delicious..." After eating, the female hunter left the hotpot restaurant, used her skill to dissipate the hotpot aroma from her body, and patted her exposed, flat stomach, feeling immensely satisfied.

"Forget it, no need to search any further, it’s not a big deal... Huh, wait..."

However, in the next instant, she caught Lin Ke’s scent again!

Her gaze shifted to the next shop.

It was a bubble tea shop.

The female hunter rubbed her slightly spicy stomach, and her eyes twinkled.

Huh, I’ve heard that Great Wilderness City’s bubble tea, this special delicacy... is a good cure for spiciness?
