Chapter 167: Making a Fortune, Prosthetic Limb Project, New Buds
The first thing Lin Bo did after returning to the lighthouse was to empty the shelves in the study.

Boxes of books are stored in iron boxes according to categories.

The top cover of each box was printed with the names of the books stored. He would circle the titles of the books he had read and memorized, and print a triangle in front of the titles of the books he needed to review repeatedly.

He put the iron box into the time-space paper box. In addition, considering the comfort of the reading environment, he made a light and sturdy steel desk, a chair with an ergonomic backrest, a desk lamp, and enough ink and manuscript paper in the drawers of the desk.

A simple mobile study is ready.

To make the reading experience better, you can also take out the small detoxifying incense burner and light some incense to make the air in the copy's time and space background fresh and pleasant.

There are three challenges left in the [Ancient Machinery Factory] today, so Lin Bo opened the portal at the lighthouse.

After spending two minutes cleaning up the guards in the factory, he unfolded the time and space paper box on the open space on the third floor and put away the remains of the mechanical guards. He then took out the tables, chairs, and bookcases and studied quietly for three and a half hours until the countdown for the copy to refresh began. Only then did he pack up the textbooks and chairs as if he had finished studying in the library.

He repeated this three times, staying in the copy for a total of ten hours, and completed the study plan he had originally planned for tonight.

In the evening, the mayor and Viscount Pearl came to visit, bringing news that the pharmaceutical company and the mechanical workshop had been successfully registered.

The Imperial Companies Act, promulgated five years ago, requires at least seven shareholders to register a company. Viren Pearl recruited partners in the monastery. He himself served as the legal representative of the company. He was also responsible for contacting lawyers and spending money to draft registration documents, mainly to clearly state the company's organizational outline and management charter.

The two new companies were named "Cifu" Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and "Mystery" Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and these two names were also decided after discussion among the members of the order.

Having personally experienced the healing skills of miracle workers, members of the order call such healing skills a blessing from the saints.

The mystery, in turn, represents their heartfelt recognition of the Miracle Walker as the embodiment of the Craftsman. The word "mystery" comes from the original text of the Five Scriptures: "Whatever he touches, iron and fire forge the form of mystery." — The Craftsman's Book, Chapter 6, Section 7

The completed registration documents were sent to Hongdu on an expedited basis and were reviewed and approved by the Trade Commission of the Royal Ministry of Commerce.

When registering a food company some time ago, Viscount Pearl relied on his connections. He was a legendary figure in Hongdu. The registrar of the Trade Commission reviewed and approved the documents on the same day and sent the certificate back to Jinbei City.

The registered addresses of the three companies are all Shita Town, but currently only the food company has a separate factory location. The other two are just empty shells with no venue, no employees, and no products.

When the visitors left, Viscount Pearl, who stayed at the lighthouse, reported in detail the returns from the first batch of mushroom MSG he sent to Hongdu. He received huge orders from the aristocracy.

With its unique complex flavor, the first-extracted mushroom MSG allows diners to experience a high-level taste enjoyment that surpasses all the dishes of the ancient and modern Kening Empire, making eating extremely exciting. Even for elderly people with poor appetite, their dull taste buds can still be stimulated, rejuvenating their appetite of youth.

For many first-time users, the passage of time without the ability to taste mushroom MSG feels like torture. The taste leaves them feeling nauseous and unable to eat.

Delicious food can also be an addiction, and because it does not harm the body, people can indulge in it without worry and do not want to sober up.

Along with the orders came a flood of bank checks. Hundreds of customers, all nobles, wealthy businessmen, and senior officials, accepted Viscount Pearl's high offer and were willing to pay nearly the same amount of gold for the original MSG.

The MSG production workshop in Dongya Grottoes has become a veritable gold mine printer.

The deposit for the first batch of business orders was already equivalent to ten years of tax revenue for Shita Town. If it were a normal company, the business tax paid to the town hall would make the mayor and other officials laugh their heads off, but in reality, all this money belonged to the collective Tower Guard Order.

Neither Willen Pearl himself nor the town hall could take a single copper coin from it.

A small portion of this money is used to repay interest-free loans to members of the order, and the rest can be used for the development of the order and the town.

For example, in the name of the town hall, they invested in the construction of a drainage system, a power plant, and a water plant. The newly established Mysterious Machinery Workshop contracted the project, and then recruited designers and workers from the town and Jinbei City.

Lin Bo plans to have the order invest in Ci Fu Pharmaceutical Company and set up a special medical fund. He will invest all the medical fees he receives into the fund and use the money to offset the residents' major medical expenses. He can also build special clinics and recruit doctors to work there.

With the financial support of the food company that makes a lot of money, the two shell companies will be able to grow quickly.

When mentioning the establishment of a medical fund, he asked the mayor whether the statistics of the disabled population had been completed.

The town mayor quickly pulled a notebook from his coat pocket. For the past two days, he and his clerk had traveled throughout Shita Town, collecting basic information on disabled individuals as required: age, gender, home address, height, weight, and location of injuries. "Is there anything missing?"

"There are a few sailors working on ocean-going vessels that I haven't counted yet, but I've personally observed everyone else in town."

"Okay. The medical expenses of these people will be borne by the fund of Ci Fu Company." Lin Bo instructed.

Viscount Pearl and the mayor exchanged bewilderment. They realized that the healing Miracle was referring to was restoring these people's disabilities. Even a duke who had been paralyzed for years could be cured. How could such medical skills not be called a gift?

"Praise you, my lord. Your will will be done." Viscount Pearl bowed his head and touched his forehead, and the mayor followed suit.

Tomorrow is Thursday again, the gathering day for the Tower Guardians.

Viscount Pearl was about to announce an important piece of news. He had already discussed it in detail with the old priest and now reported it to the god he worshipped.

"I plan to exempt the members of the order from rent. Believers in miracles can settle freely in the Pearl family's territory, and this agreement will never change." Velen stared into the eyes of the night watchman, focusing on the colorful halo in his eyes. He couldn't suppress his amazement on his face, and his hands and feet trembled unconsciously.

Lin Bo nodded and asked, "You are willing to sacrifice your own interests, what do you want?"

As landowners, the nobility relied on collecting land rent as a major source of income. Although the agricultural value of land had plummeted, and the nobility had turned to investing in urban industry and commerce for profit, the land rent remained substantial.

Previous generations of the Pearl family, having earned their fortunes from the whale trade, had proactively lowered the rent, both as an act of kindness and to attract more people to the territory. When Willen Pearl inherited the land, he maintained this tradition and now planned to gradually abandon the rent income.

"The priests taught us that wealth and power can confuse the eyes and interfere with judgment. I am willing to give up external things, lighten my body and mind, and follow my Lord for a long time. I wait for the moon beside me, chasing you as I chase my life, and I ask for nothing more."

Viren Pearl's tone was gentle, his eyes were bright and rational, and a smile of satisfaction and joy appeared on his cheeks.

The mayor standing by had a confused expression, was a little restless, and always seemed to be hesitating to speak.

Lin Bo remained silent. He looked at the mayor and asked, "Lorcan, you've worked so hard, what do you want?"

"You saved our family and this town. It's a miracle, my Lord. So I don't want anything."

The night watchman waved to them and said, "You can leave now. We'll see you tomorrow."

The two visitors stood up and said goodbye.

That night, Lin Bo had plenty of free time. In the first half of the night, he perfected the initial version of the design drawings of the human prosthetic structure, including limbs and eyeballs, which could cover the needs of most disabled groups.

By the middle of the night, Lin Bo had crafted a prototype of a mechanical prosthesis using sea-gray steel and metal neurons. Tens of thousands of parts, except for the battery and camera, were all hand-made using the Life Control Technique.

This imperial technique is only one step away from upgrading.

Only with a prototype can we easily discover design flaws and further improve and upgrade them.

After preliminary testing, Lin Bo was convinced that his hand prosthesis was mature and reliable and could be used on the human body. So he took out a list of patients' information and customized the first batch of hand prostheses based on their physical characteristics.

Early in the morning, the lighthouse went out.

After finishing his workout, Lin Bo changed his clothes and went to the back of the house to water the two alien plant seeds planted in the soil. Then he squatted down, stroked the damp soil, and softly chanted in the animist language: "(Mantra) May life bless you."

He returned to the lighthouse to put on his prosthetic hand, put the patient list in his coat pocket, and then strolled to the church to join the believers.

Not long after the night watchman left, two clusters of emerald green sprouts emerged from the fresh soil in the courtyard, bathing in the clear morning sunlight and swaying slightly in the wind.
