Though Furina's "bosom" wasn't ample, she was indeed very generous.
She took out all of her personal savings: one million Mora.
However, to her surprise, Lin Yide didn't show the slightest gratitude after receiving the Mora. Instead, he frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Is that all?"
Furina was instantly enraged.
As a god, her monthly salary was quite considerable, about one million Mora.
But most of this Mora was used to fund adventure teams and the poor, leaving her with almost nothing by the end of the month.
This one million Mora was her hard-earned personal savings.
"You bastard!" Furina roared angrily. "Begging from others with such a terrible attitude?"
Lin Yide replied with a serious face, "I just didn't expect you to be so poor. I thought you could easily throw a few hundred million Mora in my face and tell me to get lost."
Furina had indeed entertained such thoughts, but the reality was that she didn't have that much Mora to squander.
"Mora is just an external thing to a god, like a feather," she tried to explain her situation.
Lin Yide chuckled and said dismissively, "Since that's the case, then please pluck some more of these 'feathers' for me, goddess."
Furina was momentarily speechless. She couldn't actually pluck her own feathers for him, could she?
That was too absurd!
Lin Yide fell into deep thought.
The growing strength of the West Factory undoubtedly required substantial financial support, but the Fontaine government's financial budget hadn't allocated any funds for it.
This meant that, in the foreseeable future, he would have to raise all the funds needed for the West Factory himself.
He had originally hoped that the goddess Furina could solve this problem.
But regrettably, this goddess's financial resources didn't seem as abundant as he had expected.
Her vault was just like her chest, leaving one slightly disappointed after anticipation.
Now, the problem facing Lin Yide was: how to make money.
Just as Lin Yide was racking his brains, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
He slowly turned his gaze towards Furina, who was still fuming, a hint of depth in his eyes.
Furina noticed his burning gaze and couldn't help but feel flustered.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and asked with a trembling voice, "What… what do you want to do?"
Lin Yide curled the corner of his mouth into a subtle smile and said softly, "Ms. Furina, have you ever heard the saying, 'Fans are just leeks to be harvested'?"
Furina shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it.
Lin Yide continued in a gentle tone, like a patient mentor, "It doesn't matter, I'll teach you. These leeks, if not harvested in time, will grow old."
His voice was like the whisper of a demon, full of irresistible temptation.
…
One week later, early in the morning.
A novel titled The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was released in major bookstores, authored by the Hydro Archon, Ms. Furina.
The novel was priced at a staggering ten thousand Mora per copy, which was undoubtedly a very expensive price in the market at the time.
But this didn't stop the public's enthusiasm for buying it.
People flocked to bookstores, vying to buy this hot novel.
Long queues formed in front of the bookstores, and some even started waiting in front of the bookstores the night before, just to be able to buy their long-awaited novel as soon as possible.
To thank the readers for their love, Furina also held a special autograph session. As long as you bought ten novels, you would have the opportunity to participate in this grand event.
And the lucky person who bought the most copies would also have the opportunity to take a photo with Furina, jointly recording this unforgettable moment.
The first batch of ten thousand novels was sold out in just one day.
The people who didn't buy the novel were very disappointed, regretting that they didn't buy their idol's novel.
At this moment, a masked young man mysteriously appeared in the crowd. He lowered his voice and quietly asked the people around him, "Hey, buddy, want a book? Fifty thousand a copy."
Fifty thousand Mora! This number was undoubtedly a huge expense for most Fontaine citizens.
Many lower-class people only earned about one hundred thousand Mora for a month's hard work.
Such a high price made many people hesitate and back away.
However, even in the face of such an exorbitant price, some die-hard fans still decided to grit their teeth and buy it.
After purchasing The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the people didn't have high expectations for the content of the novel, but rather regarded it as a connection with their idol Furina.
But when they opened the pages and began to immerse themselves in the world of the novel, they were immediately deeply attracted by the plot.
The protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, led the readers step by step to solve intricate and complex mysteries. Each case was designed with exquisite detail, and the plot was full of twists and turns.
The reasoning process was logically rigorous, making it impossible to stop reading.
And the language was refined and accessible, making it easy for readers to follow the rhythm of the story and enjoy the pleasure of reading.
After reading this novel, the people's worship and fanaticism for Furina rose even higher.
The Steambird even used two full pages to rave about The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, praising it as a precious gift from the gods to mortals.
And in the Palais Mermonia, Furina looked at this novel with her name as the author and only felt that this world was too absurd.
This novel had earned nearly fifty million Mora in just a few days, and the speed of making money was too amazing.
At this time, the figure of Lin Yide couldn't help but appear in her mind.
That man who always had a smile on his face, seemingly cold but gentle.
How could he be so amazing!
Not only was he good at investigating cases, but he also had such excellent money-making abilities, and could even write such a fascinating novel.
It's just that his personality is too bad, making him annoying.
Hmph!
A death sentence five times becomes six times, who told him to make money in the name of this goddess.
