Lorin said there was hope, so Lincoln was quite happy.

Cloud Dream doesn’t even have a proper accountant now, and the financial problems are all solved by Mavis.

The employees in the studio have even marveled in private: “The boss is really a versatile talent, not only can he do scientific research, make games, but he can also do accounting!”

In fact, he didn’t understand at all.

But Cloud Dream is developing so fast that there is a huge cash flow almost every week, and the position of accounting is really not something that can be done by just finding someone casually.

He also didn’t know if he could trust third -party accounting companies for the time being, so he asked Mavis to help sort it out, and he had to keep an eye on it.

If Lorin could really get things done, maybe he could get a professional accountant for free.

After all, you need to deal with tax-related issues, so you have to send me an accountant, right?

In this way, Lincoln has the opportunity to throw out tax-related work, after all, accountants sent through such channels most of the time are more reliable than those recruited from society.

“Mr. Lin, how about this?” Lorin made a decision in his heart and immediately started acting, “You’ll clean up this equipment, package it nicely, and I’ll take it back to show some people so it’s easier to fight for better tax policies for you.” “Uh, this, I’m afraid not.” Lincoln was willing to do this, but the problem was he didn’t have time.

“Why not?” Lorin was very confused.

“I have booked the Subject One Exam before, it’s in an hour and a half, there’s not enough time to make the shell and revise it.”

“Does it take that long to make a shell?”

“It doesn’t take long to make a shell, but this is a prototype, and many parts are actually quite rough. It’s not just about making a shell and putting it on if you want it to be beautiful.”

Lincoln patiently explained, after all, this was his fault, “If you don’t sort out the inside, it’s not about whether the shell will fit, it’s about whether forcing it on will affect the use effect.”

Seeing Lorin and Assistant Ruan hesitating to speak, Lincoln was a little embarrassed.

“How about this, you guys wait first, and after I take the Subject One Exam, I’ll make another one for you from scratch? I’ve got the hang of making the first one, so the second one will definitely look better than this one!”

Lorin was very speechless, was the Subject One Exam more important than this?

This could affect at least tens of millions of people, but you would rather go for the driver’s license?

But since Lincoln had already made an appointment and obviously intended to go, he couldn’t tie him up and not let him go…

In the end, he said somewhat depressed: “Let’s do this, don’t waste time, I’ll take this one back today. After you finish your written test, remember to make another one, make sure to perfect all the details, and I’ll have Little Ruan come and get it tomorrow.”

“No problem.” Lincoln agreed in one breath.

“Do you have a box here? Wrap it up, all these wires are exposed on the outside, don’t let them accidentally get damaged.”

“Would a shoebox work?” When talking about boxes, Lincoln subconsciously thought of the shoes he just bought a few days ago, and the shoebox hadn’t even been thrown away yet.

Seeing Lorin and Assistant Ruan frowning together, he realized: using a shoebox was too cheap.

But there weren’t any other suitable sized boxes in the house, right?

Lincoln opened the drawer, took out a plastic bag, and comforted the two, “Uh… How about just making do with a plastic bag for now? Although it looks like the wires are exposed, they’re actually quite sturdy and not that easy to break.”

Assistant Ruan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, picked up her briefcase, and took out all the things inside, stuffing them into the plastic bag.

It was only then that Lincoln realized that this girl’s briefcase was not filled with just documents.

Lipstick, tissue, small mirror, small comb, keys, USB drive, spray, power bank, all kinds of small items, even nail clippers and sunglasses!

Lincoln was truly amazed, completely unable to understand how this seemingly ordinary briefcase could hold so many things.

Even more ridiculous was that the bag was filled with so many small items, yet when Ruan moved around, there was no sound at all!

Lincoln was impressed.

Ruan Pingyi didn’t have time to pay attention to Lincoln’s psychological state, and the things she usually cherished were taken out by her without hesitation and stuffed into a plastic bag worth only a few cents.

Then she deftly reached out, untied the expensive designer tie worth more than 2000 yuan from her chest, and cautiously wound it around the headband she had despised so much earlier as if she were handling a fragile treasure.

After Lincoln and Lorin’s conversation, she had completely understood that this seemingly crudely made headband had immeasurably great value.

With such a thing, no matter how it looked, the highest level of attention must be given.

In comparison, whether it was her own little treasure or her expensive designer tie, they were all not worth mentioning. As for Lincoln’s nonchalance and not caring about it?

That’s the privilege of a genius!

Before, she indeed felt that Lincoln was impolite and didn’t know how to entertain guests.

But that was the standard for “talented scientific researchers,” not for

“unprecedented, once-in-a-century geniuses.”

Talent and genius are different.

If you reach the latter level, no matter what you say, Ruan Pingyi will say, “You’re right!” and be sincerely convinced.

There is no doubt that Lincoln has reached this standard.

So, even if Lincoln said she looked old, she would… endure it!

There was no such thing as impoliteness or not knowing how to entertain guests… it was simply a genius’s disregard for trivial matters.

Assistant Ruan carefully wrapped the headband and put it in a briefcase, not carrying it by hand but holding it in her arms instead.

Lorin looked at his assistant with admiration, then picked up the things she had packed in a plastic bag for her.

“Then we’ll go ahead. Remember to make another unit when you come back, try to make it look better!” Lorin was worried that Lincoln wouldn’t put his heart into making the next one, so he reminded him before leaving.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry!”

After sending the two away, Lincoln finally had the chance to change his clothes.

For the sake of not keeping them waiting, he had not even bothered to change his clothes earlier, how polite!

Lincoln got in the car, and Yue Pengju took him to the Subject One Exam.

Meanwhile, some people who had long been forgotten by him decided to take action.

In the core game forum “Whirlpool,” a post was published by a player named [Snow-licking Blade]: “Has Lincoln forgotten us PC and console players? Or did he never care about us at all?”

In the post, this player, [Snow-licking Blade], told about his own journey.

He was a PC gamer, and the first time he saw Lincoln release the in-game video of “Traveler of the Wind,” he fell in love with the game.

Later, Lincoln released the PC demo of “Traveler of the Wind, ” and he couldn’t wait to download it and give it a try.

Unlike many other players who were confused and disappointed with the game.

He fell in love with the game during the brief two-level demo.

When the media began to question Lincoln’s game-making abilities, and the internet was flooded with doubts, he unhesitatingly stood up to defend Lincoln and passionately debated with those people.

He even included screenshots of his previous posts praising “Traveler of the Wind” and the online debates where he defended Lincoln.

But later, with the launch of the virtual reality device “Mirage,” Lincoln seemed to have forgotten about them.

For those who couldn’t afford the 10,000-yuan price of the Mirage console, the demo became an eternal demo, with no follow-up, no news, and nothing at all.

At the end of the post, he wrote: “Even if you sell the game at the price of a VR blockbuster, please give us PC and console platform players a chance! We truly love this game from the bottom of our hearts!”

As soon as the post was published, it was pinned and highlighted by the moderator, and its popularity soared!
