Chapter 393: Chapter 338 Lin Ke’s Painting (Happy 61 to all the big friends!)
"You did it?!"
Rica exclaimed with surprise and then jumped up from her chair.
"Ahem, Rica, mind your image," Lolita gently tugged on Rica’s mage robe.
Kidding, there’s a live broadcast outside now!
You’re a princess, the wife of the Master of the Great Wilderness!
Lolita and Rica had a good relationship, which is why she reminded her.
But Rica didn’t care at all, she pulled Lolita along with her.
"Yes, I did," Lin Ke walked over with a smile, exuding a certain special aura.
"Little Lin Ke, you suddenly... suddenly look so handsome," Rica gazed at Lin Ke, stunned, and then in front of the live broadcast audience of Naseng, she went up and bear-hugged Lin Ke, giving him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Handsome?" Lin Ke looked at Rica, half-smiling and helpless: "Maybe it’s because I’m now a level five [Artist]."
"Yay!" Rica kissed him again, even considering kissing him on the lips, and even thinking about tongue action.
However, Lin Ke knew it was a live broadcast, he couldn’t afford to put on such a sensational scene.
"Okay, get down now," Lin Ke patted the hanging Rica and looked at the painting behind him, "I’m planning to send this painting to Buck and the others, and take it back after the noble assembly concludes."
"A painting? Oh yes, the painting," Rica looked at the painting behind Lin Ke and once again became immersed.
A painting?
This was no longer just a painting.
It was a novel, a movie, a piece of music, a dance...
"[Artist]? But my father said there are currently no [Artists] who have become legendary," Rica worried as she regained her thoughts, but then she thought it through: "It’s okay, this is just your side job."
"No legend? No problem." Lin Ke waved his hand, if there’s no legend, then create a legend.
"Do you remember the person called Revin that I talked to you about," Rica said, "He would be perfect as an artist, but since there’s no legend, he finally chose to be a [Soul Manipulator]."
"Hmm." Lin Ke also expressed understanding.
Generally, truly powerful nobles wouldn’t let their offspring touch those professions without legends, though side jobs might be possible.
"Mist really likes that guy Revin, you have no idea..." Rica intended to reveal Mist’s dark secrets, but Lin Ke quickly covered her mouth.
Lin Ke covered Rica’s mouth and then looked towards Garoce, who was walking over.
"Lin Ke, I think this painting has a strong effect!" Garoce praised, "Looking at this painting, I feel like my morale is being inspired."
"Yes, it’s quite good at enhancing people’s willpower," Lin Ke replied, "suitable for use in the army. I’m planning to use it on the people here in Faser first, and then later for our troops."
"Okay, okay, okay." Garoce always looked at Lin Ke with fondness and pride.
"By the way, Count of Tulip, how’s your plant collection going?" Lin Ke looked at another person.
Count of Tulip!
He came here to achieve a good rank and score in the noble assembly to get some prize.
It was also part of the layout of the Green Leaf Duke, intending for the Count of Tulip to join so the Gula Race wouldn’t lose too badly.
Of course, with Lin Ke around, the Count of Tulip only needed to play a supporting role on the side.
Although no one expected that Lin Ke wouldn’t engage in wars, plundering, or occupying.
Instead, he spent his days in leisure and entertainment.
Thus, the Count of Tulip pursued his own interests, venturing into the forest, digging here and poking there.
As a result, he collected a lot of plant seeds, like a love-crazed wild boar, reportedly giving the few forests nearby a tough time.
But the abilities of the Count of Tulip were undoubtedly competent.
With him and Rica around, Lin Ke didn’t have to worry about the supply of grains, vegetables, and fruits.
Milk berries, Pamimi roots, and other Faser specialties continuously sprouted forth.
Even with the army undergoing high-intensity training daily, many people still stored excessive fat.
Is this fat important?
Very important!
No need for so many reasons.
As for fat affecting aesthetics and agility, well, those don’t matter much.
Fat is an energy storage substance!
In his previous life, Lin Ke knew a term called "General’s Belly."
Why called General’s Belly?
Because it was a state where fat and muscles were mixed together.
Ensuring strength while also ensuring ample energy storage.
The generals of the past weren’t like the ones portrayed in dramas, all tall and skinny with pale skin, more handsome than the other.
Their beards and hair could fend off many insect bites, and their thick fat provided them with ample energy sources.
And now, growing an extra layer of fat made these people of the Gula race very happy.
According to Lin Ke’s observations, fat could even transform into elemental energy.
He pondered how much energy the Insomnia Emperor’s big belly must be storing.
With rebellious thoughts swirling in his mind, Lin Ke smiled sincerely at the Count of Tulip.
The chubby Count of Tulip gave a light chuckle, "I’ve collected a lot, looks like we can collaborate in more fields in the future."
"Yes... hmm, let’s go ahead and build a teleportation array in Great Wilderness City," Lin Ke smiled.
"Teleportation array?!" The Count of Tulip suddenly furrowed his brow and leaned into Lin Ke, "Why a teleportation array?"
"Because you are the Count of Tulip," Lin Ke’s smile remained.
"Must it be a teleportation array?"
"It must be."
"A long-distance teleportation array?"
"Long-distance."
...
After a round of cryptic exchanges, the Count of Tulip walked away, shaken.
Lin Ke nonchalantly smiled again.
Why connect with the Count of Tulip through a teleportation array?
Because he now trusted the Count of Tulip relatively much.
The Count of Tulip, who originally loved plants, was able to enter here under the Green Leaf Duke’s instructions, not just because he needed a specific item, but more importantly, to ensure the Gula Race didn’t lose too disgracefully.
The character wasn’t bad, and many of the noble flaws even Garoce had, he didn’t.
Besides, Lin Ke felt the Count of Tulip’s kindness and sincerity, so things like teleportation arrays, he could accept.
Great Wilderness City and Azanen don’t just rely on himself.
Even with the Marquis of Giant Sword and Count Akel, it’s not enough.
Naseng, as Lin Ke’s base, is crucial.
Especially after witnessing Faser, a large main plane, becoming a sub-plane, Lin Ke realized even more the importance of Naseng.
The lowest classes of the Naseng populace, perhaps in terms of bloodline potential and knowledge, were even stronger than those in Faser.
No matter if there’s a plane stronger than Naseng, Lin Ke’s current goal was to gather all resources he could and grow stronger.
He hadn’t forgotten that the Insomnia Emperor had mentioned, another main plane would appear in a hundred years!
