This Lord is Very Scientific

One hundred million gold coins, just to skip the line?

The small nobles, professionals, and ordinary people were shocked by the young man's words.

Then they looked at Lin Ke with strange eyes.

No matter how tall, heavy or what Lin Ke looked like, in their view, Lin Ke was made of one hundred million gold coins.

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, something feels off.

The task hall fell silent for the first time.

Seeing this, Lin Ke didn't show anything unusual, just waited for the supervisor with a look of "sorrow."

"Who is this person? I haven't seen him on the 300th floor."

"I'm often active on the 100-150 floors, and I haven't seen him either."

"I'm from the 860th floor, don't know him..."

"The 860th floor! How terrifying!"

The voices of these people gradually grew from whispering to loud discussion, making Lin Ke seem ignored.

But Lin Ke knew that almost everyone's attention was actually focused on him.

However, it didn't matter; after all, he was just a [Minstrel] right now.

"Kid, who are you?"

The minotaur who had been dealing with information now came over, scratching his head and asked Lin Ke, "I thought you were going to cut in line."

"Me? I am [Minstrel] Buck." Lin Ke didn't have much interest in chatting at the moment and just answered perfunctorily.

"Buck?" The minotaur nodded blankly, honestly saying, "I'm Baluto, from the Holy Life Alliance. Kid, do you want to form an alliance at the nobles' council?"

Holy Life Alliance?

Nobles' council?

Form an alliance?

Lin Ke squinted his eyes.

Although he had no interest concerning the Holy Life Alliance, Lin Ke would not easily rule out such possibilities.

The Wild Boar Great Shaman coming from the Holy Life Alliance was also a possibility.

After all, weakening the emerging legend and New Star Viscount of the Gula Kingdom would benefit the Holy Life Alliance.

If it related to this nobles' council...

Many people knew that Count Lin Ke would participate in the nobles' council, and if Lin Ke participated, it meant Ove participated as well.

Having a legend participate in the nobles' council was something that hadn't happened for many years.

After all, Ove was the second newly risen legend in the past hundred years, at least on the surface.

So, to prevent Lin Ke and Ove from affecting certain plans, maybe they used the eerie Great Shaman to assassinate them.

"Where do you live?" Lin Ke asked with a deeply sorrowful tone, like those literary youths from his past life, "Or here's the thing, you come find me here."

This minotaur seemed honest, and since the Minotaur Race is a higher life form now as part of the Holy Life Alliance, it's quite rare and might know something.

Holy life, higher life, ordinary life, lower life, and slave life.

(See related works: About the Human Race and the Gula Kingdom for more details)

As a higher life form, the breadth and depth of information the Minotaurs can access are significant, worthy of investigation.

Lin Ke casually took a piece of paper from his space ring, wrote down his address, and handed it to this nearly three-meter-tall sturdy minotaur: "Tomorrow, at eight in the evening."

This gesture naturally awed the people around him again.

Space ring, high-quality Azanen paper, Great Wilderness Phoenix Feather Pen...

Wealthy individual, definitely a wealthy individual!

Now, the surrounding people had a new understanding of this [Minstrel] Buck's capabilities.

The address he wrote was the Flame Tavern, so he could just wait until tomorrow night to show up.

"Alright, alright." The minotaur accepted the paper with his large, fan-like hand, glanced at it, and then simply swallowed the paper whole.

He wasn't actually stupid; on the contrary, he was quite shrewd; otherwise, he wouldn't have been the first to speak to Lin Ke while others were still watching.

Lin Ke was stunned for a second at the sight.

As were the others.

When others also wanted to approach Lin Ke for a chat, a young woman in uniform ran over, "Respected member, I apologize for being late!"

This was the supervisor!

A Level 5 [Clerk]!

Lin Ke nodded slightly, ignoring those about to approach him, as most were servants or guards, with only a few solitary adventurers, offering limited information.

But most were intelligent life forms native to the Abyss, since the Abyss was primarily human-oriented, though not exclusively.

Following the supervisor's lead, he arrived at a door.

This small space connected many doors, likely to various layers of the Scarlet Wilderness Abyss base.

"Please enter, esteemed member."

The supervisor, smiling broadly, showcased a high level of customer service, indicating that Lin Ke's management methods taught to Lady Heshan were indeed effective.

Lin Ke followed the supervisor inside, the office looking very much like one from his previous life.

"Respected member, what brings you to the Scarlet Wilderness this time?"

The supervisor gestured for Lin Ke to sit, then poured a cup of "milk tea" with tea and Gula Milk from a glass made by the Great Wilderness, saying, "This is the recently popular milk tea in the Great Wilderness, made from tea leaves personally cultivated by Count Lin Ke and Gula cow milk, please have a taste."

Lin Ke took a sip, offering no evaluation, then from his space ring retrieved the vip card from earlier, handing it to the supervisor: "Take a look at this."

The supervisor accepted it with a smile, examining the pattern and sensing it with professional power.

"Pop!"

The supervisor, despite being a professional, dropped the card to the ground!

"This... this is..." The supervisor quickly picked it up, his voice trembling, looking at Lin Ke with disbelief.

"I represent Count Lin Ke; seeing this card is like seeing Count Lin Ke himself."

Lin Ke spoke with no trace of embarrassment, representing himself.

"Yes!" The supervisor immediately nodded, thumping his chest, "I heard that Young Master Lin Ke and the others have arrived at the Abyss, but Lord Ove has fallen..."

Mentioning Ove brought a flash of pain to Lin Ke's eyes, and he waved his hand, "This time, Count Lin Ke's instructions are to gather all information about the Naseng Wild Boar Race Group, and also contact reporters to gather related information."

"The Wild Boar Race Group?" The supervisor paused, then replied, "Scarlet Wilderness, Mid-Abyss, Division Supervisor receiving orders!"

"What happened with the Wild Boar Race Group?" Lin Ke noticed a change in the supervisor's expression.

The supervisor hesitated before answering, "Information about the Wild Boar has been purchased by nobles before."

"Nobles? Which nobles? What information did they inquire about?" Lin Ke immediately became alert, "When was this?"

"Just a small month ago, the Fifth Prince inquired with me about the affairs of the Eldest Prince's Wild Boar Race Plane, but we didn't have much information about the royal family."

The supervisor explained.

The Fifth Prince?

Lin Ke frowned.

The Fifth Prince and Eighth Prince were both born of Lady Gardener, and the Eighth Prince had previously given the Wild Boar Race Plane to the Eldest Prince.

Why did the Fifth Prince inquire about the Wild Boar matters?

Lin Ke also recalled the words from the Abyss edge guard when he entered.

Be careful... morning light?

Right...

The profession of the Fifth Prince seemed to be...

[Hand of Dawn]?
