This Lord is Very Scientific

Old George's milk tea shop.

Old George is both lucky and unlucky.

He has a son and a daughter. His son went to war and died, but received a substantial compensation.

His daughter also gained Lin Ke's appreciation and care because of this.

However, he ultimately lost his son,

and now, he and his wife are trying again and Little Lily is expecting a sibling.

So now, he's quite motivated in his work.

Under Lin Ke's guidance, he opened a dairy shop, specializing in cheeses, butter, and other products, and also opened a dessert shop and a milk tea shop.

Now their weekly income exceeds what they earned in a year before.

As a result, their three-bedroom home is filled with many new and intriguing things, exquisite furniture, and delicious food.

He even hired five employees and is paying them salaries.

And today, while taking stock in the shop, George unexpectedly found that Young Master Lin Ke had come to his milk tea shop!

Young Master Lin Ke, accompanied by that Cat-man lady who often comes to buy cake at his shop, went into the private room.

Old George hurriedly brought the menu in himself.

"Young Master, what would you like to drink today?"

Old George beamed with a wide smile, his heart full of joy.

Look closely, the dessert shop run by the [Pastry Chef] not far away, Young Master Lin Ke hasn't visited, right?

"I'll have one mango pomelo sago, how about you, Miss Xiaoguoren?" Lin Ke ordered casually.

"The same." Miss Xiaoguoren was now filled with nervousness, her expression somewhat dazed.

Her hometown? Why would Lord Lin Ke want to learn about her hometown? Why did Lord Lin Ke say she might go back someday?

After coming to Naseng, she knew her hometown had no chance of a comeback; the strongest there was merely a Flame Law God, an awkward level 18 Epic Powerhouse.

In Naseng, level 15 is called master, level 18 is called epic, level 20 is called starlight.

Correspondingly, in the divine path, above level 15 is called Great Priest, level 18 becomes a divine creature, level 20 is called Divine Fire Powerhouse.

While in her hometown, an 18-level Epic Powerhouse dared to claim godhood, even attempted to absorb faith to become a divine creature, then light the divine fire to become a god.

In Naseng, even children know the legendary path is the correct choice.

So even she admitted her hometown is a backward and weak plane, a mid-sized sub-plane.

The controller is the Eternal Freeze Court.

A cold domain, she was hardly suited to live there.

She initially thought she'd never go back in this life, but...?

"...Miss Xiaoguoren? Are you listening?" Lin Ke gently called her.

Miss Xiaoguoren snapped back to the present, her cheeks blushed: "Sorry, I was just thinking about home and got a bit carried away."

"It's okay." Lin Ke waved his hand: "So, does your hometown have anything exceptional? Or is there anything different from ordinary mid-sized planes?"

Lin Ke was very curious why the prize would include Houston Plane, even though the prize list isn't announced yet.

"Special? Our hometown has an 18-level Epic Powerhouse; other than that... we have a lot of Cat-men, Kobolds, etc., and no humans... If you're talking special features, is our desert considered one?" Miss Xiaoguoren pondered with a frown.

Cat-men and Cat-headed People are different; Cat-men only have cat-like ears and tails, while Cat-headed People resemble a walking cat.

"Is that so?" Lin Ke didn't quite understand either.

Cat-men, Kobolds, etc., are seen in many planes, nothing rare.

An 18-level Epic "Powerhouse" without awakened bloodline or skills likely wouldn't win against a 15-level Naseng power.

A desert-filled plane might be unique, but there must be many mid-sized planes like that.

"Never mind..." Lin Ke shook his head, idle thoughts are meaningless now, but he must complete the mission.

The mysterious resources mentioned by the system come either from exploring out of Great Wilderness City or the Houston Plane.

He is determined to get them!

This plane has now been enslaved by a small lord from the Eternal Freeze Court side, its population almost relocated, leaving just desert.

The so-called epic level mentioned by Miss Xiaoguoren was likely long-killed.

Lin Ke then proceeded to learn more about Houston Plane.

After grasping enough information, Lin Ke instructed Miss Xiaoguoren to prepare well, as there might be a chance in the future to obtain Houston Plane, when Lin Ke would need a trusted guide.

This left Miss Xiaoguoren both excited and wistful.

...

Fiery Month, unbearably hot.

Lin Ke was instructing farmers on planting mulberry trees.

In the past life, mulberry trees were best planted in spring, but here, they suit summer planting better, as they take root more easily and develop stronger roots.

"Young Master, how exactly do you do the cutting you talked about?" a young farmer asked beside him.

"Mark, propagation requires understanding plant compatibility,..." Lin Ke began explaining to Mark.

This Mark was the first to earn enough Azanen Coins from slavery and become a freeman, which Lin Ke publicized quite a bit, though only in Great Wilderness City.

Mark didn't choose any of the jobs that Lin Ke offered, like in clothing or furniture stores; instead, he was fascinated by farming.

Thus, Lin Ke's [Farmer] profession emerged.

Of course, there was a little mishap later when the profession turned into [Cultivator], which made Lin Ke more cautious.

After all, this mutation was fortunate; Lin Ke wouldn't feel right if someone else ended up in a less ideal occupation.

Mark, now a [Cultivator], didn't overthink it, feeling lucky to be enlightened and become a professional, luckier than nearly all slaves in the world.

"Brother Lin Ke! John said a group of people wants to see you! They said they are [Math Experts]!"

As Lin Ke explained techniques like cutting and grafting to Mark, Little Lucky with a large wingspan flew in from afar, its colorful feathers shimmering under the sun.

Little Lucky no longer resembled a normal parrot by size; standing on the ground, it stood over two meters tall, a true giant bird.

Moreover, Little Lucky had professions inherited from its bloodline, [Phoenix] and [Thunder Sea Eagle].

Its main bloodline originates from these two.

"Hoo—"

Little Lucky landed, people around moved aside, and Lin Ke leaped onto its back.

"Let's go!"

Excitement filled Lin Ke's eyes.

It seems the mathematic researchers summoned by Laplace have arrived!

This time, he plans to retain as many as possible, as research in all fields needs them!
