Super Spender

Proper strategies could help the economy recover, but with the current situation, it seemed stable on the surface. Yet, Finn Lewis could cleanly say that, fucking hell, this is exactly the type of scenario people like him relish. Under such conditions, Belmare’s foreign exchange market was very fragile, and a large inflow of funds could easily impact it. Despite the fact that many ordinary people were bullish and their funds were quite formidable, let’s not forget that Belmare Country’s economy was inherently flawed.

As long as there’s profit, points would be credited into his account, and this was great news for Finn Lewis. Hence, besides a few crucial technologies that Finn Lewis himself would manage, he would transfer all other technologies. The nation would deal with these transferred technologies in the same way, handing crucial ones over to state enterprises and transferring or authorizing all remaining ones for private companies to manage. This move, inducing fierce competition, would lead these private enterprises to invest more resources into researching these technologies.

The market always responded the fastest. Not to mention the enticing conditions presented by Finn, following the completion of the gathering, nearly all of the attendees who were associated with mobile-related businesses, in the shortest time, approved the restructuring of a new mobile company. This company would not employ Android or AS systems, instead opting for their self-developed smart system.

The new mobile company was named Phantom, and along with the birth of this company, a market worth hundreds of billions related to smartphones sprung up. Of course, it would take some time for the first batch of new phones to come out, but at least the first step had been taken.

Importantly, this new field of smartphones would not involve any patent issues raised by Company A or Android system. All patents used were freshly issued and for those that were not, cross-licensing had been authorized worldwide, hence patent acquisition was not a problem. Among these companies, some had the right to use these patents, making the emergence of these new smartphones an inevitable product.

With the passage of time, Finn Lewis had a faint sense that Zero’s appearance was no coincidence, and definitely not out of boredom, thinking that Finn’s life was too pitiful and wanted to rescue him. It’s true that his family life was not great, but it wasn’t so bad either. It was above the baseline, but there were far more people in the Flame Nation who lived below this baseline than him, so why hadn’t Zero chosen them?

Just because of the flippant words spoken by Finn Lewis, it seemed there was some secret. Finn reckoned that Zero’s appearance had something to do with the man who wanted to kill him.

It seemed as though Zero was here to help him, even attempting to cultivate him. Thinking back to Zero’s past actions, it seemed it was all for the purpose of fostering Finn Lewis. Whether it was the so-called training for aristocratic demeanor, which appeared trifling, or everything else, it was all set to facilitate Finn’s swift growth into a decisive and comprehensive thinker who never dwelt on gains or losses. This had surely something to do with Zero.

So, Finn Lewis had this premonition. As he accumulated more and more points, the likelihood of confronting that alien head-on seemed to increase. It might happen when he officially steps off this planet. Otherwise, why would Zero want to suddenly stop Finn from releasing those spacecraft from the spaceship underwater and prevent him from leaving Earth? According to Zero, the move was to prevent Finn from getting attacked in space.

Now Finn felt that, if he left Earth, there would be no constraints on that alien. At that time, the alien could simply take one shot to obliterate him, sparing itself any trouble.

Finn Lewis wanted to leverage all sorts of powers to first expand his own strength. Only when he had built his capabilities to a considerable level would he not fear challenges from others. When that time comes, I’ll bloody well take you down, Finn swears.

As for these technologies, they are not too difficult to adopt. Domestic companies that make cameras and optical equipment can quickly take them up. Most importantly, these optical systems are all part of a series, so it means that more advanced ones can be researched in the future.

The entire Flame Nation’s industrial chain was undergoing the fastest adjustments, invisible adjustments, in fact. Finn Lewis now felt that renovating the Flame Nation’s real-world scenario was even more exhausting than constructing a new industrial system in another timeline. Because problematic, old technologies needed to be strategically phased out and you couldn’t throw them out immediately. So you had to do it gradually. If you are building a new system, why bother with all these? Just use the most advanced technologies right away, plus with the help of t900 engineer robots, a new industrial system could be constructed swiftly.

“Task 1: The Absolute Stronghold task completion, reward : the current exchange rate for the t-series robots gets a 90% discount, rewarded 5 million points, active status awarded for special model robot exchange right.”

“Task 2: One of the World Control Series tasks has achieved its target, reward: your current number of robots has doubled, after accounting, you now have 600 t800 model robots, 400 t1000 model robots, 400 t900 model engineer robots, 32 t2500 intelligent robots, and 11 t3500 special intelligent robots. After the rewards, the data is as follows: 1200 t800s, 800 t1000s, 800 t900s, 64 t2500s, and 22 t3500s. The rewarded quantity can be withdrawn anytime, rewarded 12 million points for the task completion exceeding 100. Also rewarded with one piece of Red Storm Type I Armor and one set of Kaemiya Special Protective Suit.”

With the voice of Zero, Finn Lewis was filled with ecstasy. To his death, Finn wouldn’t have reckoned that Zero would consider the tasks to be completed just like that. This meant that excluding the intelligent robots, the number of flying robots Finn possessed, including the t800s and t1000s, have multiplied to reach 2000 and the engineer robots were now 800 in total.

What excited Finn Lewis the most were the Red Storm Type I Armor and the Kaemiya Special Protective Suit. He knew what a protective suit was, but this one seemed to be of a higher grade. And that Red Storm Type I, that came even before the Kaemiya Special Protective Suit, could possibly be more advanced.
