Chapter 7: Golden Finger?
update icon Updated at 2023/6/23 10:10:12

"Gurulu..." Sitting in the grand hall of Baron Manor, Alice's stomach let out a cute rumble, and her beautiful, spirited face turned a deep shade of pink. "It's time for dinner, let's eat together," Rayshui said with a light chuckle without any hesitation. To be honest, he was a little starved too. "Yes, Lord Rayshui," Alice replied with a slight twist in her legs, showing her embarrassment, but she obediently followed Rayshui out of the hall.

It must be said that Orton was a man who knew how to enjoy life, and he had decorated the Baron Manor quite well. Just strolling around during leisure time could make one feel refreshed. Rayshui originally wanted to demolish and rebuild the manor, but now it seemed that there was no need to be in such a hurry. He could rebuild it whenever he got tired of the current look.

"Lord Rayshui..." Alice looked at Rayshui with a slightly strange expression in her eyes. Rayshui had said that they would eat together, but why was he taking her to the warehouse? Was it because Lord Rayshui had remembered the wrong direction? It was quite possible, after all, Rayshui had only inherited the title and the manor yesterday and was certainly not yet familiar with everything in the manor. Getting lost in the vast manor was not an unusual occurrence. The question was, should she remind Rayshui or not? If she did, would it be awkward? If she didn't, Rayshui would continue to make mistakes. After much thought, Alice realized that she was a knight! She was not only to protect Lord Rayshui but also to remind him when he made potentially wrong decisions.

"Lord Rayshui... ahead..." But before Alice could finish, Rayshui cut her off with a gentle smile and obediently patted her head. "Wu..." Overwhelmed by the gesture, Alice couldn't say what she intended and could only let out a cute whimper while following Rayshui in a daze.

"Alright, Alice, wait outside the warehouse, and I'll get you some food." Finally, they arrived at their destination, and Rayshui spoke. "Ah... okay," Alice nodded, finally coming back to her senses as if waking up from a dream.

Taking out the keys, Rayshui entered the spotless warehouse filled with various items—Coca-Cola, Sprite, cream cake, tea, canned food, mops, soap, cooking essentials, and other modern items.

The reason why Rayshui dared to say that he would change the world was partly due to his self-confidence and partly due to his powerful golden finger. This golden finger allowed him to go online every night in his sleep, access all kinds of technical information, and more importantly… shop online!

All he had to do was set the shipping address to: Fran Empire, East Tower City, Baron Manor Warehouse, and choose the appropriate courier, and the items would be delivered. This time Rayshui chose S Express, so it took a bit longer; the items he ordered at 9 PM the night before only arrived now. Of course, using SF Express would be faster but more expensive.

As for how to recharge his account, it was quite simple. When Rayshui's skin came into contact with local currency, it would automatically recharge his account. That's why Rayshui wore white gloves when handing gold coins to Alice earlier—if he didn't wear gloves, the coins would disappear instantly upon contact with his hand.

"Today, I should grab more items," Rayshui thought aloud as he stood in the warehouse, pondering what to take outside.In the end, he chose two pieces of cake, a small jar of tea leaves, two ceramic cups, two pieces of soap, and two sets of tableware. As for the other things, they were stored in the warehouse for now. "Lord Rayshui, no one is approaching nearby," Alice reported sternly as she surveyed the surroundings when Rayshui left the warehouse. "Mm, thank you for your hard work," Rayshui said with relief.

Even though he hadn't asked Alice to do this, she took initiative on her own. She was truly dedicated and responsible. Afterward, Rayshui and Alice returned to the hall. At first, Rayshui, who had bought oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, wanted to cook by himself, but considering that he was too hungry, he could only take out the cake that was supposed to be for afternoon tea and have it as lunch.

"Lord Rayshui! What is this!?" The moment the cake box was opened, Alice's eyes sparkled with excitement. Her intuition told her that this thing must be incredibly delicious! And the packaging! She had never seen anything like it! "It's cake," replied Rayshui. "Cake?" Was the white on top really not snow covered? "Well, you can think of it as an improved version of black bread. It's a hundred times more delicious than black bread," Rayshui explained. Cakes had not yet appeared in this world, even though there were pastries.
