Chapter 247: Chapter 241: Managing the Hall and the Kitchen

Translator: 549690339

After hanging up the phone with Yuri Johnson, Finn Lewis felt a little headache, of course, not due to the task, but because of the current issue with his points. Finn had numerous places to use the points next, but the number in his hands was merely 120,000. However, he dared not to touch these points yet, because of the 1836 spacetime issue.

The Six-dimensional Saiyan Crystal, or the Six-dimensional Spacetime Beacon, located a time and space almost 200 years- behind for Finn. This represented a huge wealth to him! Or rather, this spacetime would lay a remarkably solid foundation for Finn! Otherwise, in the current space, Finn’s fundamentals were far too lacking.

Because Finn could not always rely on Zeros, and more reliance on Zero would expose him further. Finn had not yet attracted the national force’s attention because the things he did, although astounding, had little influence on the national security. But such a situation could not last forever, so Finn felt that he had to start developing the 1836 spacetime quickly.

Luckily, things on Henry Lewis’s side were about to wrap up. It’s better to establish a base in Australia first. However, to stealthily establish a good base required lots of points, and lots of points required Finn to earn money. The current available tasks had too few point rewards, which were not nearly enough.

After sorting out his thoughts, Finn put this matter aside. Without good preparation, even if he returned to that spacetime, it would be just wasting life and points. So he decided to court girls first, strike while the iron is hot.

After cleaning up and styling his hair, Finn went out. It occurred to him that he hadn’t formally invited Kay Lee out for a meal yet.

After leaving the house, Finn called Kay Lee. It seemed to be the first time Finn had ever called her.

The phone was quickly answered on the other end, “Hello, how come you thought to call me?” It was clear from her voice that Kay Lee was pleasantly surprised.

“I missed you.” Finn said, laughing. After all, men need a thick face at critical times. Although he and Kay Lee have broken through many intimate actions, those were under special circumstances and they were special emotions. Women are sensitive creatures, but it is hard for them to act the same after being reasoned. You have to keep her liking you.

Finn and Kay Lee haven’t been in much contact yet. Feelings are developed by getting along with each other.

“You are kidding me, you said you miss me but I didn’t see you call me proactively. No wonder those novels and posts online say that you men always think what you can’t get is the best.” Kay Lee said with a laugh.

“I’m calling you now! How about having lunch together?” Finn said with a laugh.

“But I have to play the game.” Kay said, sounding slightly conflicted, “Who made you make the game so fun, I got up very early in the morning to level up, otherwise, I would have to wait in line if I was late. Also, I am the spokesperson for this game after all. Isn’t it wrong if I don’t understand the content of the game?”

“You are really dedicated!” Finn was a bit dumbfounded.

“Anyway, I’ve been defamed now, and there are no TV dramas or movies can accept, so I can only play games.” Kay Lee opened the conversation deliberately with a “wronged” tone.

“Haha, it doesn’t matter if you ignore TV dramas and movies. Even if you don’t accept them, I will make you a world-class star in the future!” Finn laughed.

“This is what you said. I’ll wait and see. Don’t tell me you’re going to make me a world star with this game’s endorsement.” Kay Lee said with a laugh.

“Who knows? By the way, do you want to have lunch together?” Finn asked with a happy smile.

“What if I say no?”

“Then I’ll go to your place and cook.” Finn immediately responded.

“Ah? Okay, come over then.” Kay Lee accepted decisively after a surprised gasp and gave her home address. What do you want to eat at noon? I can ask Emily to go out and buv ingredients.” Kav Lee added.

“You really are…” Finn Lewis was somewhat speechless, “Alright, just wait for me. I’ll be there soon. Don’t let Emily buy anything. I’ll get it on my way over.”

“Alright then, I’ll wait for you. I have to tidy up a bit. I haven’t even washed my face or brushed my teeth yet,” said Kay Lee with a cheeky laugh. Finn Lewis was at a loss for words, conversed a bit more before hanging up the phone.

Upon hanging up, he looked at his phone and couldn’t help but laugh. It was only after he became close to Kay Lee that he realized her home and outside behavior were entirely different. Who would believe that the first thing this beauty does in the morning is not washing her face or brushing her teeth, but heading straight to the computer to play games with disheveled hair?

He pocketed his phone, hopped in his car, and drove towards Kay Lee’s place. Regarding the fact that his house was next to the one Kay had bought, he hadn’t mentioned it and didn’t plan to. With such matters, it was best to let things run their course. Though he had accidentally overheard about it from some thief, he didn’t plan on saying anything now that things were as they were.

He stopped at a supermarket en route, bought a lot of stuff, shoved it all into his trunk and then drove to Kay Lee’s house. However, as he unloaded the vegetables, he couldn’t help a thought arising in his mind. With the influence of modern industry, it’s difficult to consume safe vegetables and meat.

The ones available for purchase are extremely expensive, but even the so-called “pure natural” and “pure green” foods can’t compare to vegetables and meat grown in environments untouched by industrial pollution. It crossed Finn’s mind that if he grew vegetables and meat there and transported them to this timeline, it could be quite lucrative.

Don’t underestimate these seemingly minute profits, but they can be huge if you can meet quantity demands. With the world’s tens of billions of people eating daily, owning food supplies could generate how much profit? It’s a more substantial number than you might imagine, but only if what you cultivate is good enough!

Others may not have the capability, but Finn Lewis does! With 1836’s world’s industrial revolution not fully underway, cleaning up the entire timeline is still feasible. Modern environmental adversity is a chain reaction resulting from the industrialization process.

If strict environmental protection measures were implemented from the start, along with an efficient disposal system, Finn believes that the earth wouldn’t have ended up in its current state—it might have been many times better. Who knew at the beginning of the industrial revolution that emissions in the air would impact the environment?

During that time, people celebrated the countless smokestacks as it reflected industrial development. Later on, when people started to understand environmental protection, the Earth was already unrecognizable due to extreme degradation. The present-day destruction of the world’s forests could have been avoided if replanting measures were adopted for every tree cut down.

As these thoughts cycled in his head during the drive to Kay’s place, Finn eventually had to tuck them aside before he reached her house and rang the bell.

The sound of footsteps could be heard almost immediately from inside, and when the door opened, Kay appeared at the doorway, completely makeup-free. Her hair appeared to be simply brushed through without much styling, yet it was beautiful – true, long, and black. She was dressed in a pink silk home outfit. She looked incredibly sexy with her ivory-coloured collarbone and neck exposed.

The home dress ended with her slender, pearly-white legs peeping from under. Her barefoot toes played randomly on the floor. She had run barefoot to open the door for Finn.

Realising something was amiss by the look on his face, Kay lowered her gaze and upon seeing herself fully, she blushed intensely—From cheeks to neck to earlobes, everything flushed pink. With a small cry of surprise, she turned and bolted barefoot for the bedroom.

Finn was rather embarrassed, but luckily Emily passed by and gave a small chuckle before taking over, “Mr. Lewis, come in please, I’ll take the stuff.”

Handing the items over to Emily, Finn scratched his nose in embarrassment, then hesitated before suggesting, “Maybe I should wait outside for a bit.”

“No need, Mr. Lewis. Please come in. The slippers are right there, Kay has prepared them for you.” Emily stifled a giggle and motioned towards the shoe rack by the door. After which she carried the items to the kitchen.

Finn scratched his head and finally decided to enter and close the door behind him – there was no point in going back now. After changing into the slippers, he decided to head to the kitchen. Seeing Finn in the kitchen, Emily immediately remarked, “Mr. Lewis, you can sit in the living room. I can take care of things here.”

“In that case, Emily, don’t call me Mr. Lewis anymore. Call me Finn, or Mr. Finn. That’s what my friends call me,” Finn replied with a smile.

“Alright then, Mr. Finn.” Emily paused before laughing and changing her form of address.

“Yes, don’t touch anything in the kitchen. I’ll do the cooking. I intend to showcase my cooking skills today.” Finn said with a smile..
