A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 839 Trading
Since the incident a few days ago, Lin Wuming had prepared himself mentally—with the "angel halo" appearing, the magic side certainly wouldn't remain indifferent.

However, there is no need to worry too much. Lin Wuming is located in the science faction's stronghold. Unless the two major factions truly go to war, ordinary skirmishes will not have any impact on him—even if his strength has not yet returned to its peak.

It should be noted that currently, the only people who can normally leave and enter Academy City are basically magicians from the Church of Necessary Evil of the Anglican Church, and they are allies of Academy City; Lin Wuming also has some connections with Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl, so there should be no need to worry too much about them.

As for the other two branches of the Church of Christ, Lin Wuming, who has the authority to oversee the board of directors, will definitely receive the news immediately if anyone applies to enter Academy City.

"No way?" Yun Chuanqin clicked her tongue in astonishment. "Even now, you still have so much faith in Academy City's border control?"

"..." Lin Wuming looked at her speechlessly, "Is it really okay to say such things directly? You should have a little more confidence in this safest city in the world!"

Yun Chuanqin simply snorted coldly, remaining noncommittal.

She then used her hands to brace herself against the windowsill and jumped down.

"That's all I wanted to say. Take care of yourself." Yun Chuan Qin Ya clapped her hands, then straightened her skirt. "Also, I've had a good talk with Ju Ya. Don't worry, she won't act on her own initiative again."

"Oh, that's good." Lin Wuming said casually.

To be honest, Lin Wuming wasn't particularly concerned about Yun Chuan Juya's unauthorized actions.

Based on our contact, it can be determined that Kihara Kagura cannot be considered an "enemy" at least.

Even if we assume that Yun Chuan Juya really intends to "betray" us, the first hurdle she'll face is getting past Shokuhou Misaki.

"Tsk," Yun Chuanqin sighed softly, "That Shokuhou guy has had a tough time too."

However, from her perspective, Lin Wuming's attitude was certainly the best possible.

—Thanks to this, my sister kept her job; all my efforts to get her in were worthwhile.

……

"Confirmed, you can sign and stamp now." Yun Chuan Juya nodded as she gathered up the thick stack of documents in front of her, then tapped on the table to align the pages.

“I told you there wouldn’t be any problems.” Sitting opposite her was Theristina.

The latter impatiently fiddled with the candy box in his hand, making a rustling sound.

Then pour out one candy from the candy box...

"Green apples aren't bad." Putting the candy in her mouth, Theristina looked at the maid opposite her. "Would you like one?"

"No, thank you." Yun Chuan Juya refused without hesitation. "Just sign and stamp it. We'll get this over with quickly. The funds will be transferred to your account this afternoon."

Theristina sighed, reluctantly putting away the candy box, and then took out a stamp from her pocket: "I really don't understand. This is a future city that is thirty years ahead of the outside world, so why do they still keep this primitive signing model?"

"Perhaps it's to preserve a sense of ritual?" Yun Chuan Juya also pulled out a stamp from under her skirt. "For ordinary transactions, using an electronic stamp is fine. But the transaction we're conducting now can hardly be considered 'small,' can it?"

A fully automated unmanned factory, three medium-sized research institutes, twelve laboratories in different professional fields, and forty-two "warehouses of unknown purpose"... all these properties, along with all the instruments and equipment inside, and even experimental materials and research data, were all packaged up by Terestina and sold to Yun Chuanjuya at a low price.

Or to be more precise, it was transferred to a foundation under the name of an "unnamed director".

The reason Therista suddenly dumped so many assets at such a low price was because they came too easily, and she wouldn't feel bad about disposing of them. —Because these were all Kihara Gensei's "legacy".

Kihara Genji is dead.

Since Lin Wuming exposed the "stand-in incident" in public, Kihara Gensei can be said to have "died" once in a sociological sense.

Kihara Gensei never came forward to explain, and instead truly disappeared without a trace. His colleagues, students, and even other members of the "Kihara clan" had no idea where he was.

At this point, even if Kihara Gensei were still alive, he would have to "die".

At least Theristina acted decisively, not giving him a chance to "resurrect".

From the moment the "stand-in incident" broke out and pushed public opinion to its climax, Theristina, as "Kihara Gensei's granddaughter" and through the violence of the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team," began to take over the assets that originally belonged to her grandfather.

As a seasoned Kihara, Kihara Gensei's "legacy" consisted of a small proportion of monetary assets, but a large number of facilities and institutions related to experimental research.

After taking stock, even Theristina was taken aback.

Looking back now, the urban legend that "Kihara Gensei was a team" may indeed have some truth to it. Otherwise, how could that old man manage so many research institutions and conduct so many research projects at the same time?

At least, Theristina alone cannot manage so many organizations.

She was also very self-aware. Two years ago, when she left Academy City, she knew that there was a fundamental difference between her and the other "real Kiharas" on the path of "scientific research".

It's not that they lack talent, but rather that they lack a strong interest and passion for it.

Theristina doesn't dislike doing research, but she can't accept dedicating her entire life to "research".

She was unwilling to devote all her time and energy to operating and managing these research institutions; not to mention, in the eyes of others she was not the "real Kihara," and there was a huge gap between her and her grandfather Kihara Gensei. Even many heads and researchers of the research institutions did not quite agree with her.

Therefore, Theristina made a swift and decisive decision—to sell off all the parts she couldn't digest and absorb, thus replenishing her cash flow.

By integrating resources, we can completely control the remaining small portion of the essence!
Theristina left herself two unmanned factories, a research center, and sixteen laboratories. She reorganized and integrated all resources, transforming them into the field of "equipment development," focusing on the research and development of FIVE_Over and related derivative technologies.

Theristina's goal is simple—to develop equipment for the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team," because that is what she makes of her life.

She never considered giving up her job in the guard force.

Back in the office, Theristina quickly signed and stamped each document before tossing it to Yun Chuanju across from her.

The latter, as expected of an excellent maid in the chaotic household, skillfully and methodically sorted through the documents.

Despite the tedious work, it was clear that Yun Chuan Juya was in a very good mood.

Yun Chuan Juya knew very well that she had gotten a great deal in this transaction.

Although he was just working for Lin Wuming, the sense of satisfaction he felt when he signed the contract was genuine.

Moreover, Yun Chuan Juya pays her own salary, effectively making her highly integrated with the foundation, sharing its fortunes. She is also a beneficiary in this transaction.
