Chapter 779: Chapter 773: Giving Away for Free
“Really? Should I go now?”
“Absolutely real, live streaming, see for yourself.” With the message of holographic video live streaming spreading in the official school forum, the whole forum exploded instantly.
An unknown number of people came to class out of sheer curiosity. Finn Lewis had now completely become a celebrity. Even though it was his first time in school, he had been the centre of discussion in the school lately. Of course, this was because…
“Luna Starfield did a good job.” Finn Lewis nodded in satisfaction. If Luna hadn’t been guiding in the school forum, this result wouldn’t have been possible. Of course, the reason why Luna guided was because she was instructed by Finn himself.
“Your Highness, there’s no need to thank me. It’s my duty. But what I don’t quite understand is why you’re doing this. I don’t think we should. Many resources have been wasted.” Luna was somewhat confused.
“Luna, you’re still an AI, but you should understand one thing–waste can sometimes be a gain.” Finn laughed, ambiguously answering.
Did Finn waste it? Of course, he wasted a lot, but the results of the waste were starting to show, weren’t they? As soon as Finn appeared in the classroom, many people greeted him–people he didn’t even know before. Regardless of their reasons, at least for now, they greeted Finn with due respect.
This was only part of what Finn intended. Right now in front of him was a chubby kid reminding Finn of Daniel Pan.
“Listen, Your Highness, I don’t think this is necessary,” said Martin Duffield, the chubby kid that Finn knew, or rather–someone who took the initiative to greet Finn. Of course, Finn sought him out because this boy was a bit shrewd, and according to information gathered by Luna, had a good character. Most importantly,
The territory of this chubby boy’s family was closest to Finn’s territory. Although he was just an aristocrat, he was an influential one. Of course, even the least influential royal family member was more powerful than any aristocrat. Uh, except for Finn, who had just been promoted to be a member of a nine-star royal family.
Marlon felt torn. He had been the one to take the initiative, but that’s because Finn sat directly in front of him during class. Even though Marlon was the heir of Ashford Family, he was not a direct descendant. Technically, he was an illegitimate child.
By an illegitimate child, it means he was a child born to his father and a woman other than his father’s legally recognised wife. According to the Galactic Federation’s records, his mother could only be considered a concubine. Less than even a concubine, really.
Despite this, since Marlon’s father didn’t have many direct descendants, Marlon still came here to study. It was a sort of recognition of his identity. In the Galactic Federation, being an illegitimate child wasn’t really a big deal or a disgrace.
Everyone in the Galactic Federation had “illegitimate” children, right? With such long lives, it was easy to have one accidentally. So, it wasn’t uncommon or a topic of much discussion.
Marlon had a simple view. Finn was quite wealthy. Over the past few days, Marlon had admired the amount of money Finn had spent across the forum. Even though he had more money than most people and lived a better life than most, he was impoverished compared to other students at this school.
That’s right, when compared to other students in this school, he was destitute. He was even less wealthy than some minor aristocrat’s direct descendants. Moreover, the money Marlon had was given to him by his mother. His father had sent him here, but his father was not the family patriarch. The family money was limited and could not afford to give him too much pocket money.
Paying for his tuition and normal expenses was already pretty good.
Thus, Marlon set his sights on Finn. Even though Marlon was an illegitimate child, his father was a businessman and had inherited some family business. If he could bring back some business, he would naturally have more pocket money. This was Marlon’s simple idea.
Right after greeting Finn, the latter proposed an idea after seeing Marlon’s personal AI device. Marlon was, to an extent, stunned by this proposition.
“It’s quite necessary, isn’t it? Look, we know each other now, don’t we?” Finn said with a grin.
“Yes.” Marlon really wanted to say, ‘No! Can we be considered acquainted just by introducing ourselves to each other?’
However, since Finn had put it that way, he couldn’t really contradict him. He could only go along with what Finn said. Even though Finn didn’t amount to much among the nine noble royal families, in his eyes, Finn was still lofty. After all, he was a Highness. Well, actually, Finn can now be referred to as ‘Your Majesty’.
This was because Finn had already inherited his family. Within the Galactic Federation, he can be called ‘Your Majesty’, of course, since Finn hadn’t finished his studies at the academy, it would also be correct not to call him ‘Your Majesty’. But it wouldn’t be a big problem if he was called so now.
“Since we know each other, we should leave a contact. If you’re using a slower personal AI device, it might affect our communication, hence it makes sense to change it,” Finn stated.
Marlon couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Bloody hell! It was his first time meeting someone like Finn. Who would help someone change their personal AI just because they want to share contact information, fearing the initial process might take a few more seconds, and that too the top-notch personal AI device?
Isn’t this just giving away money for nothing? Regardless, Marlon was ultimately unable to resist. He couldn’t help it, the temptation was too great! How much was a top-notch personal AI? Marlon could tell you straightforwardly – besides the ones that come from special departments and not for sale, a top-notch personal AI cost a whopping 10 million.
