Chapter 91: The Other Side of the Prodigal
Finn Lewis suddenly got motivated. Imagine having a car like the one in Lightning Ranger in real life, how awesome would that be? But what kind of car could reach that level? It’s practically a godsend! In Lightning Ranger, a vehicle might be hacked and its functions cease to operate, but with a vehicle from Zero, would you need to worry about being hacked? At least Finn felt he didn’t need to.
And a stylish car like this, if he could get one for Kay Lee, wouldn’t that be better than any other gift? The gifts I give are all unique in the world, okay?!
Thinking of this, Finn immediately felt full of energy! But now there’s a serious problem. As for doing illegal business, he had ideas in his mind, and he was sure he could make money. But now there’s another problem: he is short of points! Finn promptly organized his points, and he currently had 250 unused.
Furthermore, Finn can borrow points from Zero. Zero had mentioned earlier that the standard for a loan was 1500 points, which meant that Finn currently had 650 points available. If he reserves 50 points, he still has 600 points to use. Six hundred points can be exchanged for quite a bit of money. However, there’s an issue: money! Finn doesn’t have enough money! Finn only has a bit over 30 million Flame Nation coins on hand now.
So, Finn needs a lot of money! After thinking about it, Finn asked again: “Zero, as you said, I cannot freely buy and sell my shares, but I can pledge them for a loan, right?”
“If a loan results in irretrievable shares, the corresponding points will be deducted accordingly,” Zero didn’t say if it’s allowed or not, just warned Finn about the possible consequences.
Good! After getting this answer, Finn knew what to do! Since he can pledge shares, it’s simple, if there’s no money, go to the bank! Although Finn can spend Zero’s funds on tasks at present, aside from task funds, he only has around 30 million left. Before, 30 million was an astronomical figure for Finn, but now… Finn could only say that 30 million is far from enough!
Especially when Zero would occasionally release some prodigal-like training tasks, Finn felt the pressure was huge. His living standard was raised to such a
degree by Zero, he couldn’t possibly just drive around in his Flying Horse and eat instant noodles whenever there was no task, right?
Let’s do it! Finn gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Those who aspire to make a difference don’t fuss over trifles. This matter… what the hell, he thought, and went straight to call Fishy Wells, regardless of it being after one in the morning.
Fishy Wells seemed to have got used to such interruptions from Finn. The phone was quickly picked up: “Sir, any orders?” Fishy Wells now found it easier to call him sir.
“Help me arrange a meeting with the branch manager of the Industrial Bank in Celeston City for tomorrow. Tell them I have a massive loan to discuss, nearly at least 300 million Federal coins.” Finn didn’t hesitate at all and said it straight.
“This… okay.” Fishy Wells choked for a moment. She wanted to say, I was just a university student and had never even met other people, how could I possibly meet the branch manager of the Industrial Bank? But in the end, she remembered what Finn had said before, and agreed on the spot. After the call, she went to discuss with Julia Parker how to accomplish this.
After hanging up with Fishy Wells, Finn didn’t think too much. These matters could be left to them. When he got home, Zoe was already asleep. Ruby Frank stayed at home putting Zoe to bed, but she was only sleeping on the sofa. Seeing Finn coming back, she quickly greeted him.
“Find yourself a room to sleep, you don’t have to sleep on the sofa. Also, you should hire me a housemaid tomorrow,” Finn thought for a while and said. If it was just him, it would be fine, but now there’s Zoe at home, and there has to be someone to prepare meals on time. It’s better to hire another person, as Fishy Wells and the others might have to deal with his affairs and not be able to take care of the child every day.
“Sir, let me take care of it. The people we hire might take good care of the kids on the surface, but what they do behind close doors is anyone’s guess,” Ruby thought it over and said.
Although Finn hired them as five assistants, in reality, they didn’t have much to do every day.
Scratching his head, Finn suddenly realized how few people were actually available to help him, “Alright, you’ll take care of it for now, and we’ll see after I’ve completed the adoption procedures for Zoe.” Finn thought about it and gave up, as he suddenly remembered, if he were to go home, he would inevitably bring his parents over. He believed that Zoe is thoughtful and his parents would definitely like her.
They would certainly be unwilling for Finn to hire a nanny or something, so let’s wait until he’s settled things with his parents. But, at the earliest, he could only go back during the summer vacation.
After instructing Ruby, Finn went straight to his room. There was a lot to do tomorrow, so Finn went straight to bed.
The next day, Finn was woken up early in the morning by a phone call. It was from Prince, “Mr. Finn, I forgot to tell you, there’s an exam this afternoon, remember to come.”
Finn was startled, then suddenly woke up fully, oh hell, he’s still a student, how could he forget that? But Finn was a bit annoyed, because he had already planned out the next few days. And school exams couldn’t be completed in one or two days, they usually took at least one to two weeks.
How about… calling Mr. Wood? Finn thought about it, picked up the phone, and called Mr. Wood. The call was quickly connected, “Finn, what’s up?
“Mr. Wood, the thing is, I have been quite busy recently, so I might not be able to make it for the exam, ” Finn hesitated, but still directly stated his purpose.
“Alright, I see. Look, Finn, you’re so wealthy now that you could definitely disregard this university, but let me be honest, many people study for many years just for a good job, and you’ve already accomplished this task that many people can’t complete in their lifetime. However, I hope that you will take your studies seriously. After all, only what’s stored in your own mind is the most real thing and never expires.” Mr. Wood thought for a moment and earnestly advised.
“Mr. Wood, don’t worry, I will certainly complete my university studies with my own abilities.” Finn didn’t find it annoying and instead seriously said. Especially after Robert Thomps’ incident, it made Finn realize that Mr. Wood is a good person, and Finn’s mentality has also changed from before. Besides,
Finn really wants to graduate with his own abilities. Moreover, not only that, Finn also aspires to pursue a master’s and doctorate degree. Being a top student is universally admired. Finn was almost a top student in high school, but now in university, where everyone is elite, Finn naturally desires to be a top student now more than ever!
With the Intelligence potion, is this still a dream? Over the past few days, Finn has discovered that although the Intelligence potion might not be as obviously beneficial as the Strength and Agility potions, it’s evident in his daily life. Now, Finn can feel that his memory, comprehension ability, and so forth have significantly improved. Increasing his Intelligence by 2 points is equivalent to improving his original Intelligence by a fifth! This is an impressive figure..
