Chapter 1,481 The Risks of Eating Melon
It is true that gods will be affected by faith, but gods will also consciously control such things, instead of completely letting faith run wild and control themselves. Just like at the end of the religious wars two hundred years ago, when the interests of the church were decoupled from the interests of the gods, the church was abandoned without mercy.
So with the faith gathered from the lending behavior and the faith gained after the virtuous government decree was issued, will Ko Yin have many choices when faced with the evil thoughts and righteous thoughts contained in it?
Will the three gods she has the best friendship with, namely Guardian, Justice and Life, let her deviate towards the evil god's camp?
Let’s talk about providing help in times of need and icing on the cake, which kind of action can gain more gratitude?
All this became the fellow's biggest miscalculation: the pursuit of the goddess of gold coins is inconsistent with the pursuit of capital!
Unless someone can find a way to reverse the concept of the coin goddess and someone puts up a firewall for banks not to lend, Coyne will never become the backer of Midland Capital.
Or, establish another god...
I dare not say that someone has complete control over the financial and economic development of Midland. But as long as we set a few general directions, there are ways to prevent the lost land from taking the same path as the earth.
Lin's most insistent move was to exclude lending from the Gold Goddess's bank concept from the very beginning. Now it seems that this move is not bad.
On the surface, it seems to block the flow of funds and hinder economic prosperity and development. But Midi's current economic size has not yet touched the threshold of the industrial revolution in its hometown, and there is no need for large amounts of investment funds to help economic growth.
The fundamental reason lies in the inconvenience of transportation! Magical beasts crawling on the ground and magical birds flying in the air. These extraordinary creatures put the traffic in Lost Land under constant threat.
Even if an industrial system is established, mass-produced products cannot be transported to other places for dumping. If they are solely digested by local people, sooner or later the market will be saturated and there will be nothing to sell. At this time, in order to maintain itself, the industrial system has to engage in vicious competition.
Without good transportation and dumping grounds, vigorously developing the industrialized system is actually no different than committing suicide. After all, if capital wants to develop, the two major methods of exploitation and dumping are indispensable. At most, it can be a little secretive and whitewashed, but in fact it's all just to get money.
Just say that the automobile R&D and manufacturing center established by someone together with the Grand Duke family of Kawei and the two brothers Ruan Wen Zhao and Wen Yue from the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce has indeed encountered a wall in its development in the past twelve years.
But cars are, after all, an important part of improving the traffic environment. Perhaps the sales volume will not show explosive growth like in the early days. While its income can offset the costs, it can still afford R&D funds, forming a virtuous cycle.
Although the profits and dividends shared by the three original shareholders were not much, in fact, the old Duke and the Ruan brothers focused on the convenience brought by the car itself from the beginning, rather than the money earned from selling the car. So I am not worried about such changes.
Of course, a time traveler who is not short of money has no worries. When he knew that his desire to own a magic tower was blocked by the world intentionally or unintentionally, Lin had no desire to save money.
To put it bluntly, without the hometown of a certain traveler, the globalized economic system, and the backing of the superpower Magnesium Emperor, it would be impossible for Midland's capital to grow to the heights of the Earth. Instead, it will only make people salivate like a pig fattening itself.
To prevent the banks of the Gold Coin Goddess from chasing profits, it is actually to prevent the Millennium Man from being fed up in a state of exhaustion and directly tormenting himself to death. What's more, capital is not a thousand-year-old man, but a highly toxic drug.
However, secular banks need manpower, and the goddess's church also has bishops and priests. These people do not serve the goddess while drinking the northwest wind. In other words, Coyne's bank also has salary expenditure needs.
These expenditure needs will be paid from the handling fees deducted by the bank during the deposit and withdrawal process. Moreover, there has always been an invisible benefit point in currency exchange, which is to purify the 'impurities' of coins.
These associated metals also accumulate in considerable quantities after purification. As the only automobile research and manufacturing center in Midland that consciously studies the direction of materials science, it is also the best outlet for these pure metals.
Although someone has a relationship with both parties, he only serves as a bridge. The center wants to get those pure metal ingots, but of course it cannot be free.
Relying on these two incomes, the bank affiliated to the Gold Coin Goddess in the mortal world can operate normally. For this kind of design, and the subsequent development that has not deviated too much from the default goal, a certain traveler is somewhat proud.
Then when the economy of Midland really grows to the point where the existing system cannot bear the load and must be changed, I will probably be gone. And there should be someone with enough wisdom at that time to break through the predicament at that time.
If you set a ten-year plan for yourself, someone thinks that your performance is already at a super level. It is impossible to establish an excellent system that will last for thousands of years. Do you really think that traveling through crowds is omnipotent?
Besides, if something like that really appears, doesn’t it mean that the entire society is not progressing and the atmosphere has entered a state of stagnant water. Thousands of years have passed since then, and the environment has not changed much. It can still be managed using the old methods.
In short, in the twelve years since he decided to stay, even if he did not appear on the front stage, a certain time traveler felt that his life was very fulfilling.
Just like in criminal psychology, the arsonist always returns to the scene to watch the chaos he caused. Being able to witness with one's own eyes the changes in things that one promotes, invisibly satisfies someone's perverted psychology.
It can be regarded as adding some time-killing projects to this paradise without entertainment.
But there are risks in eating melons. It's like those arsonists are always arrested alive by the police just because they return to the scene and leave behind clues and evidence. A certain traveler who stayed in the lost land was blocked by a real boss because of eating melons.
In the entire bank operation planned by Lin, the one boss he was most afraid of seeing was Brutus, the Lord of Fortune. One of the eight Lords of Power, he is the god that the magician cannot offend the most, and he is also the target that his anti-divine power magic cannot work on.
The process of the elder appearing in front of Lin was also quite dramatic.
On a sunny afternoon, Lin, who had woken up from a good nap, was leaning on the window sill of the attic, feeling the breeze blowing on his face.
The environment in Midi is still in a natural state, with no industrial pollution. My home in the Holy City is considered to be in a good suburb, and the scenery and air are of course more pleasant.
And this time is also the time when the three kittens come back from their adventure.
...By the way, the three kittens who followed the gray cat Hardy to the holy city of Estari have grown up enough. They are at an age where they are naughty and capable of facing challenges, so they are also playful.
But they come back at this time because someone who got up will prepare three bowls of cold milk for them on the windowsill. It's afternoon tea time, but someone is drinking midi tea with only dried flower petals and no tea leaves; while the magic cats are drinking ice milk.
But something is different today. Behind the demon cats walking on tiptoe on the edge of the roof, followed by a leopard that was more than twice as big...
I don't know if the demon cats didn't notice it at all, or if they brought the leopard. Three cats and one leopard lined up in a straight line, surprisingly harmonious.
Someone somehow conjured up another shallow bowl. Pour in the same milk and treat this uninvited guest.
Just watch them lower their heads and lick the milk, while someone himself drinks scented tea brewed with hot milk.
This authentic method of making milk tea, rather than boiling tea with water and then adding milk, is quite popular at home. At least it makes up for the small flaw in the taste of the scented tea itself. But because it was hot, the demon cats couldn't accept it.
It was only when the three cats and one leopard drank the milk from the bowl in unison that the three demon cats discovered that there was a big leopard next to them, and they were suddenly frightened!
Lily jumped violently in fright, and clung to the upper edge of the window sill with her front paws. Nini jumped out and clung dangerously to the eaves before she could stand. As the only male cat, Bu Feng was frightened and rolled over, then quickly struggled to get up.
If you have a mobile phone and take the scene just now as a short video and upload it, it should become popular.
The reason why their reaction was so great was because in the perception of the three demon cats, they did not notice the existence of this golden leopard at all. It wasn't until my eyes saw it that I suddenly realized that there was a huge creature squatting next to me, drinking milk from the bowl like them.
And this is what Lin is curious about.
Except for his two eyes, all his detection magic could not detect the leopard in front of him, which meant that this leopard should not exist. But it did finish the milk it poured! Could this be a daytime ghost sighting?
However, Lin also had some speculations about this person's identity. Because this is not the first time I have seen this leopard.
The last time I met him, it was when the Xuanwu robe had just been made. The Xuanwu Holy Spirit from his hometown was showing off its power in a arrogant manner, which attracted a counterattack from Mi Di. In addition to the leopard, there are seven other animals, representing eight powers respectively.
The incarnations of the eight Lords of Power each injected an extremely pure power into the body of the magician who didn't know he was in trouble.
The original intention was to destroy the foreign god Xuanwu in the robe. Unexpectedly, this act coincided with the number of days, and instead created the demigod body of Xuanwu. I also achieved success for someone along the way, it’s just that the process is extra hard.
Maybe it was the tragic experience at that time that made someone shiver involuntarily. But now that the old man has come to visit, ignoring him is not an option. So after coaxing away the three demon cats who danced like they were when they were children, Lin greeted them: "Your Majesty Brutus? It's been a long time."
"It's been a long time, magician." The golden leopard followed the cat's example, licked its paws, and moved it to its face. At the end, he said again: "I didn't expect that little magician to grow up to what he is today."
After laughing a few times, Lin said: "It's a fluke, a fluke. If your majesties had tried harder, I might not be here anymore. I won't be able to stand here and speak today."
