This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 886 - 818: Ordinary People Amid Total War

His descendants are the key!

Which parents don't want the best for their children?

After feeling the pulse of his bloodline, Lin Ke's heart surged with waves of emotion.

For the sake of his child, even abandoning the Deep Dark avatar would be worth it.

"In the end, do we really have to charge forward and fight?"

Lin Ke murmured.

But it's nothing too bad; he has several life-saving cards up his sleeve. Although the battlefield is dangerous, it's not necessarily deadly.

As long as he manages it well.

With things at this point, Lin Ke has made his decision and began preparing things.

The wealth of the Great Wilderness is almost unparalleled in Naseng, coupled with Lady Heishan's organization gathering information and intelligence around various places, the treasure reserves of the Great Wilderness are indeed abundant.

Get more life-saving items ready, then head to the battlefield!

...

Magma Territory, Sun Radiance City.

Ken and his family have already moved here for a long time.

Previously, they were lower-class citizens residing in Great Wilderness City. Although they could make a living, they were exhausted from running around.

He also had to produce Memory Stones named "Schindler's List" in addition to his studies.

At that time, the Path of the Great Wilderness from Great Wilderness City to the Forest Hut had just been opened for not long, and trade demands along the Path of the Great Wilderness were unprecedentedly prosperous.

So, at that time, Great Wilderness City saw a plethora of family-owned and individual small workshops, specializing in creating low-cost, low-tech-demand items like Memory Stone filming and polishing work.

Buying raw materials at low prices, processing them with human labor, then selling them at low prices for meager profits. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This also spurred the creation of many "middlemen," who became the link between the small workshops and merchants, ensuring both parties' safety in transactions.

Of course, this was a gray area, not illegal, but certainly not legal either.

However, later on, this model was replaced as Memory Stone Cooperatives started emerging.

This caused many small workshops with substandard quality to withdraw in defeat.

Yet Ken's family didn't care about what happened later.

They moved to Sun Radiance City.

Though Great Wilderness City was indeed radiant like the rising sun, for their family—

They had no skills, no capital, no resources, no talents, and the demands there were too overwhelming for them to bear.

So, ultimately, they chose a simple life.

Moved to Sun Radiance City.

Even though this city is likewise lively, it has a more peaceful and calm vibe.

Unlike Great Wilderness City, where you could almost get whatever you wanted, where you could almost do whatever you wanted, but there were conditions involved.

Sun Radiance City didn't have so much material, wasn't a political, cultural, economic, financial, military center; rather, more like a small town on the border.

Ken liked both places.

Of course, due to his personality, perhaps he would still choose Great Wilderness University after graduating from high school, and still opt to stay at Great Wilderness City after graduating from college.

He liked that kind of enthusiasm and struggle.

"Mom, I'm off to school!"

Thinking of this, Ken picked up his bag that had been patched up multiple times, greeted and went out.

"Be safe on the road, remember to bring the two lunches on the table!"

"One is for Victor, Old Lavi paid for meals, don't forget it!"

"Remember to come back early tonight, you know where your dad's shoe stand is located!"

"Make sure to take the bus, don't save that one buck. Time is money, you're about to take finals, no time to run home!"

Hearing Ken's voice, his mom who was making various shoes immediately shouted instructions, afraid Ken couldn't hear her.

"Got it, got it!" Ken responded reluctantly, then looked at his reflection in the mirror by the door to ensure his red hair was neat before stepping out.

Once outside, he headed straight to knock on the neighbor's door: "Vicodin, we're going to be late for school!"

"Coming!"

With a reply, a silver-white Frost Wolf with a mottled tail opened the door: "Old Lavi was just giving me pocket money, we're going to buy the latest Memory Stone today! Produced by Great Wilderness Cooperative!"

Talking as they jogged toward the stairway, Frost Wolf Victor and Ken continued.

"What type?" Ken's eyes lit up, but soon he hesitated: "But we're about to take finals."

"Finals? I'm definitely first; I'm not even bothered to review." Victor nonchalantly wagged his tail before tempting:

"Just think, it's the latest film produced by Great Wilderness, said to be as meaningful as 'Schindler's List,' titled..."

"'The Shawshank Redemption.'"

"The Shawshank Redemption?" Ken's eyes flickered again.

Redemption? Just hearing the name made him want to watch it!

Wonder if Shawshank will be a great and selfless person like Schindler?

"But you study well, I'm afraid my dad will beat me." Ken was tempted, but the last shred of reason tugged at him.

That bit of reason came from his dad's iron fists.

"Hey, don't be afraid."

Frost Wolf Victor continued to tempt Ken; otherwise, his pocket money wouldn't be enough to buy a copy of the Memory Stone: "Isn't it wartime now? We're under the shadow of war; it's reasonable for our grades to be affected, right?"

"War?"

Ken paused, his expression changed: "Yes, war."

Sun Radiance City also receives news about the war.

Teachers often emphasize precautions for wartime in class, repeatedly stressing it.

Saying things like when the sky falls, there will be tall folks to hold it up; they've said more than once.

However, it doesn't have much effect.

Ken, being an ordinary person, still worries about the impending war and the unknown that comes with it, as does his family.

But....

Ken glanced at his neighbor and good buddy.

Frost Wolf Victor and human Old Lavi come from the lower strata of society in the Northern Frost Wolf Clan of the Eternal Freeze Court, akin to beggars and thieves, surviving in the cracks of the city.

Yet, precisely because of their experiences, Victor's attitude towards war is completely different from regular folks like Ken.

Victor and Old Lavi always felt that when war comes, the big shots will bear it, and with the indomitable Duke Linke standing firm, why should they be scared?

Also, even if the war ended in defeat, they wouldn't be afraid.

Having long adapted to life in the cracks, they don't dread going back to living in them.

Ken, he's different from them.

The education he received wasn't like Victor's, with scheming and fighting over interests between the direct and collateral members in the family, nor was it like Old Lavi's where servility was the way to survive.

What he learned was to live by resisting, to live with self-reliance.

Not to pin his hopes and future on gods and legends, these "family elders," nor to meekly hand over the control over life and survival to the enemy.

But to resist! To strive!

Even an ordinary person can play their part in a war!

Thinking of this, Ken's expression became firm:

"Victor, I think, films can be watched anytime, but learning cannot."

"Perhaps in the future we'll lose in Naseng, Sun Radiance City may be breached by the enemy..."

"Then, the knowledge we learn will be our weapon."
