Chapter 309
Chapter 81: Using power for personal gain
"Ms. Raphael may just be shy."
Rin looked at Lina who made the sound. She still maintained a gentle smile and looked good.
"Forget it, ignore her."
Rin sat down next to Emilia and hugged the little dragon that flew into his arms.
"You have recovered well recently. When can you start rehabilitation training?"
Lina has not been out of bed for too long. If she wants to move freely like ordinary people, she needs to do rehabilitation training while recuperating.
"Rehabilitation training started the day before yesterday, and now I move around for a while every day."
Rin frowned: "So early?"
"My father specially assigned a pharmacist for me. Now I am recovering quickly, and I will take the right amount. Now I just walk a few steps with the help of the railing, and I won't force myself."
Rin then relaxed his brows and nodded: "Okay, when you can move freely, I will take you on an outing."
"It's a deal."
Lina blinked her eyes, propped up her chin and stared at Rin's profile for a while.
Until she realized that someone was also looking at her, Lina retracted her gaze and looked at Emilia who was staring at her with her head slightly tilted, and her smile became more harmless.
Failed Cat felt a little strange, but didn't think too much.
After all, the dead tsundere is good-looking, even those students in the school who don't have a good opinion of him sometimes stare at him for a while, and Lina is not bad.
Rin glanced around the arena at this time and touched his chin.
"Lina, I heard that His Majesty Augustine has given you a lot of power to handle government affairs. Is that true?"
"Yes." Lina showed two dimples, "Rin, is there something that wants me to abuse my power for personal gain? With our relationship, it's not impossible."
Rin rolled his dead fish eyes and said unhappily: "Who wants to abuse his power for personal gain? This young master has business to discuss with you."
"Hmm?"
Lina heard that it was formal, folded her hands on her knees, and looked more serious.
"You see, around the arena... um, those protective plates under the audience seats?"
"See... what's wrong?"
Rin's tone rose three points: "Don't you think they are a waste of money!??"
Lina was a little puzzled: "These protective measures are necessary. In case of accidents in the defensive barrier around the arena, this layer of protection can also protect the audience."
"I mean, it can obviously create other values to offset the construction costs."
Rin moved the chair closer to Lina and patted her shoulder.
"They are too empty!"
"...Huh?" Lina was still a little confused.
"To make a long story short, I plan to hang some promotional pictures and banners on it. You name a price."
Lina's mind quickly turned around, and her eyes lit up: "Rin, do you mean to put the signs erected at the door of the store and the large banners hung in the big market on the protective board?"
"Bingo!"
Rin snapped his fingers and said proudly: "This is called publicity. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered here from all over the world. My chamber of commerce products are advertised in the most conspicuous place, so that they can see it for more than ten days, and even the recorded images can be seen. What do you think of this publicity effect?"
Lina narrowed her eyes, looked up at the curtain, and nodded: "It's better than any distribution of leaflets and word-of-mouth publicity."
"That's right, so this is what I discussed with you. If you agree, I can also help you come up with an idea to make money on it."
Lina smiled and said: "You want to say that in the future, when holding official activities of the empire, this advertising space will be rented to merchants according to time and page size to obtain greater benefits?"
Rin was a little dumbfounded, secretly thinking that these crown princes of countries are really quick-witted.
Seeing Lin's expression, Lina covered her mouth and laughed.
But how could Lin admit defeat? She raised her chin and waved her index finger.
"Silly princess, don't be complacent just because you guessed a little bit. Today, let me tell you what business is!"
"Hey? Recently, I've heard that Xiao Lin is going to open a chamber of commerce or something. Has the money run out?"
"And you, stupid princess, listen to me!"
Lin rolled her eyes at Iris, thinking that this little idiot knows nothing. She thinks everyone wants to be as rich as her family and have tens of thousands of gold in pocket money a year.
Seeing that several girls were all listening attentively, Lin told Lina about the so-called advertising bidding.
Of course, he only knew the basics of this, but as the initiator, he only needed to propose an idea, and others would naturally improve it.
Lina was delighted after hearing this: "So, this method can also save some of the cost of hosting the event, which is indeed a good idea."
"There are also hot air balloons, which can also be used for delivery."
The biggest way to deliver is newspapers, but unfortunately the use of magic technology in this world is also twisted.
There are already printing machines, but they are mainly used to print books and brochures and flyers, and no one has founded a newspaper.
But Lin is here to solve the mysteries of the world, not to plant technology trees.
And with his unprofessional knowledge, he can't start it even if he wants to.
It's okay to start a newspaper. When it's time to promote the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons, newspapers can play the most important role.
This thing is also very simple. You can mention it to Her Majesty the Queen when you return home. It's just a piece of cake.
Thinking like this, Rin scratched his hair: "So, what about my suggestion? Should you give me a discount?"
"sure."
Lina's eyes were also full of smiles: "Didn't I just say that if it's Rin, it's not impossible to use power for personal gain, so there's no need for money."
"That's great!" Rin said.
Elise blinked her elk eyes: "Didn't Xiao Lin just say...not to use power for personal gain?"
"Shut up you idiot and save some money for your future children, can't you?"
"But...but, I have a lot of money."
"Then keep it. There will be plenty of places to spend it in the future."
Hearing this, Fei Miao tugged at Lin's sleeve.
"How arrogant, I have saved 10 gold coins, unlike the roe deer who spends money randomly."
"I didn't, idiot Emilia!"
Seeing that the two little girls were arguing again, Rin held her forehead and said to Lina: "Then it's settled. When we break up at noon, I will have someone come and measure the size of the page."
"Okay, happy to work with you."
Rin looked at Lina's outstretched white hand and clapped it, which was regarded as a high-five.
"Rin, can't you forget your previous promise?"
Lina reminded slyly.
Rin suddenly felt a little guilty. He glanced at the noisy useless meow roe deer, nodded, and pretended to watch the game seriously with a straight face.
During the lunch break, Rin called some staff, measured the size of the protective panels, and asked about the vertical length of the hot air balloon.
After returning from dinner, the data was already in his hands.
Rin estimated the time.
In five hours in the morning, the entire personal arena was used, but only two-thirds of it was completed.
In other words, it will take at least two hours in the afternoon, and I don’t know if there will be time to hang up the advertisement before tomorrow’s game.
"Elise, together with this sleepy cat, give the size data to the printing workshop and notify them to start work. Feimao knows the address."
Rin said, handing the paper in her hand to Elise.
"Huh? But I want to watch Xiao Lin's game."
"What's so good about her? She's not as good as Christo, that fake girl. She can't hold three spells under my hands, so it's not interesting. The key now is to make money, you know?"
"Okay."
Elise's hair turned blankly: "But do those craftsmen know how to do it?"
"I mentioned before... I should be able to do it. As for the slogan, um, help them think about it. Just don't make it a church-like slogan. Come up with the commercial characteristics of our kingdom!"
Rin woke up Fei Miao, then took Elise to explain for a while, and then asked them to send them away quickly.
After Elise and Emilia left, Rin was not in a hurry to return to the contestants' area. After all, Lina was the only one left in the VIP seat here alone.
However, when they were alone, the atmosphere became ambiguous again unconsciously.
Rin thought about the last time, when she accidentally fell into the hot spring and saw Lina's appearance.
Speaking of which, Lina's skin is really snow-white, just like mutton-fat jade.
You can't tell much about it when you wear it normally, but the actual size... almost catches up with Elise.
Well, it’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. It’s strange to say that even though you have been ill for a long time, how can you still develop...
Um, what the hell am I thinking!
Annoyed and embarrassed, her throat was a little dry, Rin took out her cup, drank some water, and calmed down a little.
"I'm thirsty too."
At this time, a white hand was spread out in front of Lin.
"Huh? Didn't you bring water?"
"No."
Lina smiled lightly and answered without hesitation.
"Well, then I'll ask someone to get you some tea."
Rin said, planning to call the guard waiting at the entrance of the passage.
As soon as he turned around, he felt his hands were empty. He turned around in shock and found that Lina was already holding his cup and taking a sip.
While drinking, there was a faint blush on her cheeks.
"??That's what I drank!"
"I'm very thirsty."
Lina added, then took another sip, watching Rin's reaction with a smile.
Rin looked at the place where her mouth was, and didn't know if it was the place where she had drank before.
But I have to say that he was a little aroused by this ambiguous move and felt a little warm in his heart.
If someone he disliked or had a normal relationship with dared to use his cup, Rin would definitely smash his head in or throw it away.
But he originally had a good impression of Lina, from pity to approval, but because of this series of ambiguities, he couldn't dislike her at all.
Because of her own reputation and personality, Rin thought it was better to scold her.
So when she was almost done drinking, Rin reached out and hid the cup back, covering it with a look of disgust.
"My majestic princess, it's okay to go out without bringing water, but you still grab other people's cups. It's really embarrassing. My cup has been soiled."
"whee."
Lina didn't care either, holding her chin up and staring at Rin without blinking.
Rin was stared at by her for a long time and felt on pins and needles: "Can you watch the game carefully? Why are you staring at me all the time?"
"Ah... ok."
Lina saw his embarrassment, joy flashed in her heart, she responded and looked at the arena honestly.
Her Royal Highness the Princess still understands the principle that going too far is not enough.
After sitting quietly for a while, the atmosphere returned to normal from the ambiguity.
Lina felt bored, so she brought up another topic: "Are you sure about the student with the seal talent that Prince Abdu mentioned last time?"
"Of course I am sure. Our team is not just supported by Emilia."
