Catastrophe Card King

After all, Leonard Churchill managed to answer the queries on both occasions.

The appearance of this note before his eyes must have somehow been linked by cause and effect.

But the queries weren’t the main issue.

Leonard thought of something else.

What kind of family would use such a powerful artifact to ask such trivial questions?

“Huh!”

As he complained, a sudden insight came to him.

Leonard thought of something.

The common folk wouldn’t have access to Mental Secret Skills, but the aristocracy certainly would!

For a child from an ordinary family, knowing how to read would be an achievement in itself. But to use Taren’s Classics for a guessing game evidently indicated a lady of a prestigious family with abundant resources.

No matter where the note came from, if she could ask me questions, could I ask her some as well?

When this idea popped into his head, his mind came alive.

He figured there was no harm in giving it a shot.

So, he began to write.

But before his question, he should solve hers as a gesture of goodwill.

As for other aspects, he wasn’t sure what to say.

Business management?

The business world here was still quite primitive.

He had plenty of classic business strategies from his previous life.

Leonard suddenly thought of Great Ivan’s Treasure Shop.

These business concepts are top-notch in this world, but common in his previous life.

Considering the girl’s circumstances, she must have inherited a finished store.

To stand out with the same products, they’re left with no choice but to emphasize on the service.

Leonard dived into his thoughts and wrote down customer experience improvements like promotional discounts, grand opening raffles, VIP status, exceptional customer service, sexy saleswomen, personal representatives for large customers, exclusive VIP parties, and so on…

Moreover, he let loose his ideas like slashing prices, promises of genuine products, home delivery within an hour, referral discounts, appealing to the masses, and the efficacy of targeting women and pets for marketing…etc.

These proven business strategies made fortunes for financial magnates in his previous life.

The girl who wrote the letter obviously comes from affluence.

These strategies would perfectly suit her stature.

Greed is a universal human trait. Even though times and circumstances may be different, the essence of these strategies remains the same.

Leonard tried to express these methods using the language most suitable for this world.

He was unsure about the word limit on the note; he thought of saving some space for future correspondence.

He wrote only some of the strategies in detail and only gave a brief overview of the others.

Then, he wrote about his actual concern, “Sorry, I also have a dilemma. My mental power seems to be distorting, my mind… Could you please give me some advice on what should I do?”

Leonard looked at the content of his reply on the new note and exhaled a sigh of relief.

He had replied, but he did not know if the other party would see it.

Moreover, this method of communication seemed to be one-way.

So, he could only reply when the other party initiated the contact.

He roughly estimated the time of the previous reply.

It appeared to have been quite a while.

But Leonard was not in a hurry.

Instead, he felt that this form of cryptic communication was adding a fresh layer of intrigue to his life.

If he did receive a reply…

For Leonard Churchill, wouldn’t it be akin to possessing “Aladdin’s magic lamp”?

After finishing his response, Leonard didn’t think too much about it.

He continued to use the note as a bookmark and placed it back in the book.

Considering he didn’t know what triggered the communication, it would be better to keep everything the same.

After taking a short break and feeling fully recovered from the previous mental exhaustion, he returned to his meditation and reading..
