This Lord is Very Scientific

After watching the movie, René Descartes went to get his identity card.

Once he proved his identity, the process of obtaining the identity card was very quick, even drawing attention from Lin Ke.

Upon learning that René Descartes stayed not for "Inception" but for "Schindler's List", Lin Ke was left in a bit of a quandary.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have rushed to shoot "Inception", which took two full days of filming.

After giving René Descartes the identity card, Lin Ke informed him about the mall and trade center.

René Descartes surely had some good stuff from being outside for so long.

When the time comes to exchange currency, swapping Azanen Coin for precious magic materials is surely a profitable deal.

René Descartes did not disappoint.

He went to the trade center to exchange for a Slaughter Spider Crystal, with a conversion rate of six hundred Azanen Coin, nearly equivalent to three thousand six hundred gold...

"Three thousand six hundred gold coins, six hundred Azanen Coin?!" Lin Ke widened his eyes, facing Lady Heshan: "Are you sure there isn't a mistake? Could the people at the trade center be making a mess? That's a Spider Crystal, only produced by Spider Demons that devour the Path of Slaughter! This should be at least ten times the price!"

Lady Heshan replied helplessly, "Unless, there are ten times more Spider Crystals..."

Lin Ke was taken aback, "What?"

Lady Heshan quickly explained, "Originally, we had approximately thirty Spider Crystals in stock, but over the past few days, we've received nearly five hundred more, leading to a reduced demand from laboratories and research centers, thus the purchase price dropped, and Spider Crystals became a regular stock item..."

Lin Ke couldn't help but massage his temples, engulfed by a headache, "Mr. René Descartes... why does he act so recklessly with money?"

"Recklessly... with money?" Lady Heshan deciphered the obscure term and understood its meaning, replying helplessly, "Perhaps Mr. René Descartes isn't aware of our cost of living..."

René Descartes tossed out so many Spider Crystals—an item of high research value—all at once; naturally, the prices would change.

And assets of such high value differ from ordinary goods.

Regardless of fluctuations in gold prices, if you are buying locally planted corn or eggplant, the price remains the same.

"Forget it, we'll discuss this later..." Lin Ke shook his head: "When there's time, convert the excess Azanen Coin and credit it to René Descartes's identity card; we mustn't take unfair advantage."

"Alright."

...

René Descartes stared at the identity card in his hand, feeling somewhat unreal.

A Spider Crystal ultimately translated into an ordinary identity document?

But it's said that Azanen Coin had already been credited; soon, anywhere he went, he could simply swipe the card seamlessly.

"It's convenient..."

René Descartes felt all traces of drowsiness vanish.

Though there was still a second movie he hadn't seen, he intended to explore the local cuisine first.

Having spent hundreds of years without tasting anything, René Descartes was genuinely eager to savor the gastronomic delights here.

Based on soul feedback, many people came to Great Wilderness City for more than just films; they also visited to sample a variety of cuisines.

The food here is different from traditional Naseng cuisine!

René Descartes had traversed countless planes but found that there were never enough delicious foods—perfect timing to taste what's offered here.

Thus began René Descartes's journey of conquering the snack street.

"Snow pear with rock sugar? One plate... my goodness, it's delicious, let's order ten more."

"So this is Gula Milk ice cream, the taste is not bad, akin to the Snow God Flower from another plane."

"Phew, finally got inside, hotpot? There seems to be quite a crowd in such places; my Spider Crystal from the last nest is almost used up, appears I need to venture out again soon to gather some more."

"This milk pulp is actually a Faser Plane delicacy, not bad, not bad..."

René Descartes ate his way through, chatting with the Golden Sacred Shovel Armor on his shoulder at times, and occasionally talking to himself.

He consumed a lot, but with so many professionals in Great Wilderness City, there were plenty who could eat more than him, making his spree not too conspicuous.

However, midway through eating, he realized that he had nearly run out of money!

This made René Descartes think of the soul feedback he'd received earlier, leading him to ponder: "Indeed, living in Great Wilderness City is rather difficult."

That's right!

A single Spider Crystal was enough for him to exchange for loads of gold coins, yet many ordinary families in the city couldn't even save a few silver coins in a year.

And so much money now could almost only allow him to eat through half the street, almost depleted.

To ensure others live comfortably here, they surely must offer goods of much higher value than Spider Crystals.

René Descartes wasn't without resources, but aside from the lowest-valued Spider Crystals in his pocket, utilizing other things to trade for some food felt wasteful—it's not like other cities, where a Spider Crystal could sustain him for a long time.

But as he silently lamented and speculated, he sensed a soul emerging nearby.

"Honorable Mr. René Descartes, I am Magma Dragon Magnalos, regarding your previous exchange and disposal of Spider Crystals..."

Magma Dragon Magnalos appeared, delivering Lin Ke's instructions and conveniently added two zeros to René Descartes's original Azanen Coin balance on his identity card before taking her leave.

Seeing the increase in his card balance, René Descartes finally understood what happened.

Though he wasn't very perceptive about such things, concerning finance and economy, it was too complex for him.

As mentioned before, his family once collapsed because of him.

"Alright, back to reveling in food and fun, later I'll catch another movie."

Needless to say, despite only indulging in half of the street's offerings, René Descartes and the Golden Sacred Shovel Armor had found themselves besotted by the cuisine here.

Absolutely delicious!

After feasting, he watched the second movie, "Inception."

It has to be said, René Descartes was beginning to fall in love with this place.

Food, new gadgets, movies, novels, theater...

Many different offerings were making René Descartes reflect, letting out an inadvertent sigh upon returning home.

It's so enjoyable!

Enjoyment aside, the key point was, it left René Descartes somewhat conflicted.

Whether it be the cuisine or movies, peculiar places or laws, the initiator or driver behind it all is Lin Ke!

This left René Descartes quite conflicted!

Originally, he only intended to rival Ove for disciples.

But given Lin Ke's mind is so rich, colorful, and wondrous, he also desired to compete a bit with Rica and the others for partnership—even Revin had his eyes on Lin Ke, and the Dark Maiden also carried Lin Ke's mark within her.

As a master of mind manipulation, René Descartes never cared whether his flesh was masculine or feminine, human or beast.

As long as the soul was beautiful, he could perceive such beauty in the soul.

Furthermore, Lin Ke's soul could no longer be described using beauty, only through terms like unique, distinctive, and one in a billion.

"Ah, the problem is, Lin Ke seems to place a great emphasis on gender! Should I change his gender for him?"
