Primary school students of all worlds

Irisviel pointed at Wang Quan and whispered to her daughter, "Your deskmate is the leader of the Return Cult I just mentioned, the Prophet of Return."

"Eh!!!"

Illya stared at Wang Quan with wide eyes: "Mom, are you mistaken? Wang Quan and I are both fifth-grade students, and he even sits at the table behind me."

"Mom, I was surprised too."

Alice looked at Wang Quan with a strange tone and said, "It's quite scary that the person you're investigating suddenly shows up with your daughter. But luckily, there's no detectable malicious intent in this little fellow."

As she spoke, Irisviel stood up, walked to his side in front of Wang Quan's astonished gaze, and squatted down. While looking straight into his eyes, she reached out her hand, stroked his hair, and spoke softly.

"Listen, kid. If you're ever controlled or ordered around by some filthy adult and forced to step up and lead such a behemoth, you can tell Sister Alice. I'll help you out."

"Do not……"

Wang Quan spread his hands and said, "Madam, I can answer your question about why a company calls itself a religion."

Under Irisviel's puzzled gaze, Wang Quan pointed at his face and said helplessly, "Look at my age, my face, and my height of 1.2 meters. Do I look like someone who can start a company? Do I look like someone who can be a leader? Do I look like someone who can command the support of others?"

"Forehead……"

"No, right? This is why I want to start a religion."

Wang Quan said as a matter of course, "My abilities, which are not in line with my age, can be used to increase my sense of mystery. My followers will not look down on me because of my young age. Instead, they will look up to me because of my abilities, which are not in line with my age. This is why the Return Religion is the Return Religion."

Alice looked at Wang Quan in astonishment: "Does your family know?"

"I am an orphan and I have no family."

Wang Quan shook his head and said, "He started out in society at the age of six. Because of his appearance and age, it was really hard to recruit his first believer."

"Six years old?! How old are you now?"

"10."

"10 years old!"

Irisviel looked at Wang Quan in horror. "I was only nine when I went out to fight in the Holy Grail War! You were six and you founded a religion?"

Illya thought about the time when she was six years old and ran towards her mother with a math test paper with a perfect score, but she fell and started crying. She suddenly wanted to use a magic cannon to blast a hole and bury herself in it.

"I know it's really weird, but I'm kind of a child prodigy."

Wang Quan said to the incredulous Irisviel, "With a vision that transcends this era and clearly sees the future, coupled with the orphan's subjective initiative, and finally a bit of trickery, it's not surprising that he was able to achieve this."

Irisviel's chest rose and fell rapidly, and their eyes met, but no matter how she looked at it, the little boy in front of her was very honest, without any sense of guilt, and everything he said was true.

Was this child the one who founded the Reversionist Church, a religion that seemed to be the nation's number one, when he was only six? And there was no malicious intent behind the founding of the religion; it was simply because of legal restrictions that prevented him from starting a company at the age of six.

But is it possible? Six years old? First graders are barely that age, right? While they're struggling with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, this child is already formulating plans and trying to convince the adults to worship him as their leader? And in just a few years, he's transformed his religion into a behemoth too big to fail, one whose collapse would be a national economic disaster?

Primary School Student's Campus Life: Chapter 78 Wang Quan's Snowball

Looking at Illya's dazed expression beside him, Wang Quan shrugged his shoulders. Family members know their own business. He also knew how incredible his story of making a fortune seemed to others, but only he knew the actual situation. It was just that he took advantage of the information explosion. Excluding the information advantage, he was just a ten-year-old child with thirty-five years of social experience.

Because he knew in advance that the bubble economy was going to collapse, he could pretend to be a prophet and keep repeating to others that the Plaza Accord was coming, the economy was going to collapse, housing prices were going to collapse, the bubble was going to burst, and the rooftops were going to be crowded. It didn't matter if the stubborn adults didn't believe what he said as a child. Anyway, as long as the prophecy came true or there were signs of it coming true, smart people would naturally come to listen to his new prophecy.

Things became simple after that. With the help of these adults, he had enough subjective initiative to short the stock market which was sure to collapse, and long the futures which were sure to rise. However, he only knew about going long and short in his previous life, but he had no idea how to operate them specifically. So he told the lambs the information he knew and let them operate on his behalf.

In addition to the financial sector such as the stock market, he also did not give up on the industrial and service sectors. He constantly occupied the golden track that could rise against the trend when the bubble burst based on future experience.

For example, because of the economic collapse, a large number of women who were previously waiting for a price urgently needed to find male partners to survive the economic downturn, which led to a sharp increase in the marriage rate in a short period of time. So he opened a lot of matchmaking agencies, and knowing that this trend of wanting to get married could only last for a while, he also prepared a buyer in advance, ready to withdraw immediately after making enough money.

Of course, he will not only target those women. He will immediately invest the withdrawn money into the two-dimensional world when the time is right. When a large number of men choose to marry and have children late or even simply not marry or have children, his carefully prepared krypton gold mobile games and various two-dimensional wives will appear and confiscate the rich wallets of those men.

In addition to the consumer market driven by this shift in demographics, he also capitalized on the trend of consumer change. Knowing that the market for non-essential consumer goods would collapse, he opened a second-hand store to recycle high-value-added goods like pianos, golf clubs, antiques, and German handmade suits. Furthermore, because essential consumer goods tend to degrade, he developed a large-scale low-end catering market, including pre-prepared meals, frozen meals, fast food, and Michelle milk tea, and also introduced low-end clothing.

After developing the consumer market, he went on to develop the service market. As the economy entered a downturn, the whole family needed to go out and find jobs, so he also entered the primary and secondary home appliance markets and the second-hand home appliance markets. At the same time, he was also constantly developing service agencies such as childcare centers that were destined to be overcrowded.

In addition, he is also focusing on the development of high-tech industries, such as mobile phones, computers, chips and batteries. In his laboratory, the technology of touch-screen mobile phones has reached initial maturity. It is expected that it will be launched on the market in a few years, crushing all feature phones.

and so……

Facing Illya's admiring gaze, Wang Quan lowered his head feeling a little guilty.

In essence, he is just good at utilizing information, and he is completely incompetent in other aspects. He can only rely on religious pretentiousness to fool people. This is why he can spend a lot of time hanging out in school instead of participating in company management.

In the eyes of others, he knows how to use people and trusts them, but in fact, relying on information advantages to formulate the company's development direction is his strong point. When it comes to the management of each department of the company, he is at a loss. He can only delegate a large amount of management power to his subordinates, and focus on the general development direction of the Return Foundation. At the same time, he seizes the time to make up for his knowledge of management by reading professional books during class.

Fortunately, he was reborn very early in the timeline, and the information advantage he had was enough to support him for the rest of his life. However, this advantage that he couldn't tell outsiders seemed like...

"Kid, you actually have precognitive abilities, right?"

Alice looked at Wang Quan thoughtfully.

"Huh? Super powers?"

Wang Quan shook his head subconsciously.

"Indeed, I can't sense any magic circuits or other mysterious powers from you."

Irisviel looked at Wang Quan in confusion. "But that doesn't explain your terrifying behavior."

"Frightened?"

Illya blinked, then covered her chest and looked at Irisviel pitifully, saying, "I'm really scared. Mom, you won't let me imitate this other kid, right? I can't do it."

"Do not."

Irisviel shook her head in amusement and said, "When Mom refers to being frightened, she means those rich people and politicians, of course, mainly the president of Dai Nippon Bank."

As she spoke, Irisviel looked at Wang Quan seriously and said, "If they didn't have precognitive abilities, it would be hard to explain the Reversion Cult's insane behavior. It's like a gambler who walks into a casino and immediately puts all his chips in. After winning, he puts all his chips in again, over and over again. The gamblers watching are already scared to death, but the craziest gambler still keeps calm and keeps putting all his chips in, even though they've increased in number by who knows how many times."

Are you talking about your business model?

Wang Quan blinked...

Because he has a strong information advantage to back him up, he doesn't even consider the concept of "risk". He can boldly use all-in to scare other businessmen to achieve seemingly crazy expansion. That is, after making a penny of profit, he will immediately go to the bank to borrow a hundred yuan and then invest in the next market. Then, he will repeat the above steps indefinitely, expanding his industrial chain like a snowball.

Countless enemies, partners, and even his own lambs were crying and begging him to stop being reckless, to be more steady, and to keep some money in case of a disaster, otherwise everyone's hearts really couldn't take it.

But he turned a deaf ear to it and continued to increase leverage, increasing it over and over again, until the bank president erected a statue of him in the bank vault and hired a bunch of priests and witches to perform rituals all day, praying that he would not go bankrupt or get into trouble.

"If you don't have the ability to predict the future, you wouldn't be able to do such a thing."

Irisviel rubbed her temple and murmured, "After all, it's human nature to be in awe of the unknown. Even the most insane gambler couldn't stand such frequent and non-stop poker. Child—how on earth did your heart stay safe and sound throughout this whole process?"

"Maybe I am the child prodigy that people are talking about..."

Faced with Irisviel's direct questioning, Wang Quan lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

He knew very well how much he was worth. If he didn't have these information advantages, even if he was reborn, he would at most rely on his experience and use the gimmick of being a child to become an Internet celebrity, and then spend his whole life busy with how to sell goods and how to entertain his family.

Is there really a secret hidden in this child's heart?

Looking at Wang Quan who was obviously worried, Irisviel pressed her chest and thought. This child seemed to know nothing about his family, but his mature appearance easily reminded her of herself.

When it comes to precocity, she is no less. As an android prepared by the Einzbern family for the Holy Grail War, she can get married at the age of one and go out to fight in the Holy Grail War at the age of nine. So it is hard for her not to doubt... Could this little boy in front of her be a android like herself, a child forcibly matured by magic or other methods?

Thinking of this, Irisviel looked at Wang Quan with some trepidation and said, "Child, do you still have any family besides your parents?"

"Not impressed at all."

Wang Quan shook his head and said helplessly, "And Sister Alice—why are you asking this?"

"Shouldn't I care?"

Alice stroked Wang Quan's head and said softly, "Every time you go to the bank to apply for a loan, the president of this bank will pull out a bottle of stomach medicine with trembling hands and give you two tablets. He even carries heart medicine with him just in case. Of course I should be concerned about whether your family knows that you are putting a lot of pressure on your investors and employees."

"That's something you can rest assured about."

Wang Quan shrugged and said, "I've never heard of any other family members. I've been relying on my own efforts since I was six years old."

"Fend for yourself..."

Irisviel held her forehead and said, "I didn't go out to fight in the Holy Grail War until I was nine years old. Now I'm thirteen, and I can't say I can survive on my own."

"Thirteen?"

Wang Quan looked at Irisviel with a strange expression. How could her tall figure, which could look at him even when squatting, and her ladylike demeanor, possibly indicate she was 13 years old? Furthermore, Illya and he were the same age. If she was really 13, wouldn't she have given birth to Illya shortly after she was born?

However, this question only flashed through Wang Quan's mind for a moment, and he soon regarded this unreasonable age as a joke from the older sister.

Ok?

Illya looked at Wang Quan in confusion, while Wang Quan stood up and said stiffly, "Sister Alice, I've answered all your questions honestly. Now it's my turn to ask—were you sent by the government to investigate our Huihui Cult? Or are you employed by another organization?"

"No, Kiritsugu and I are not employed by any government or private organization."

Irisviel shook her head and said, "I'm simply curious. Is the Church of Return's motto of 'Returning Everyone to the Past' just a deceptive slogan, or is it actually true? But now I understand it's just a slogan used by 'a six-year-old child' to attract believers."

After a pause, Irisviel said in a strange tone, "Even if I believed every word you said and knew everything you've done over the years, my heart is still filled with disbelief. You're only ten years old now."

"I'm not a ten-year-old child, but a ten-year-old orphan. Scientific research has proven that almost all orphans, without exception, have a strong sense of initiative. Even those who have been adopted will work hard for fear of being abandoned again."

Wang Quan blinked and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"Because you have no one else to rely on except yourself, is that why you work so hard?"

The pity in Irisviel's eyes made Wang Quan raise his hands in dissatisfaction, and raised the big hands that had messed up his hair high. "Since it's just curiosity, then it's okay. Besides, it's getting late and I should leave..."

"Wait a moment."

Irisviel interrupted, "Child, Kiritsugu and I have been traveling around the world for these years and have accumulated quite a few connections. I can help you contact your family as soon as possible. That way, you won't have to push yourself so hard any further."

After finishing speaking, Alice looked at Wang Quan expectantly, but she did not feel any shock, surprise, excitement or other emotions. Instead, she only felt - confused?

"Sister Alice, you seem to have made a mistake."

Wang Quan looked at Irisviel speechlessly and said, "I'm very satisfied with my current situation, and I'm also very satisfied to have met a kind-hearted person like you today, but could you please stop interfering in my business?"

Although she could sense the obvious displeasure in the little boy's tone, Irisviel still asked in confusion, "Don't you want to find your family?"

"Yup!"

Illya nodded repeatedly and said, "Student Wang Quan! My parents are very capable. As long as they help, they will definitely help you find your family."

"Thank you, but you don't need to."

Wang Quan shrugged and said, "I'm living quite well on my own now. I don't really care about family or anything like that. It's getting late. See you tomorrow, Illya, and kind Sister Alice."

After saying that, he nodded politely to the older sister in front of him, then walked out of the house without looking back.

"Mother."

Noticing the strange atmosphere, Illya looked at Irisviel anxiously and asked, "Could it be that Wang Quan really hates his family?"

At this point, she said with a bit of a sad face, "But it's also true. Those family members have disappeared for so many years, leaving Wang Quan alone for so long. It's only natural that he would hate them."

"Do not……"

Irisviel looked blankly at Wang Quan walking by the window: "It's not like that."

"Ok?"

Illya looked at Irisviel in confusion. "Mom, are you saying that Wang Quan doesn't hate his family? But he clearly said he doesn't want to be reunited with his family."

“Relationships between people are never just about likes and dislikes, nor are they just about love and hate.”

Irisviel looked at her own hand in confusion. The hand that wanted to help the poor child was ruthlessly slapped away.

"In the final analysis, liking and disliking, loving and hating actually mean the same thing. They all refer to feelings of deep concern for someone, but that child is different."

Under Illya's astonished gaze, Alice subconsciously clenched her fists.

"His eyes showed the opposite of 'love', an 'indifference' more extreme than any hatred. Doesn't that child care about his own family, or even the greatest love in the world, 'family affection'?"

Primary School Student's Campus Life: Chapter 80: Eyes That Cannot Look Each Other in the Eyes

Whether it was the boy's joy at having a family again or his deep hatred for leaving his family alone, Irisviel could accept and understand these feelings, but what she couldn't understand was the child's complete lack of emotion and 'indifference' towards this matter.

They were her family, the unattainable love that even a cyborg like her longed for. How could that child be so easily...

“Aa ...

The extremely high-decibel sound interrupted Irisviel's thoughts. She looked at Illya, who looked terrified, and asked, "What's wrong? Were you scared by that child?"

Illya shook her head tremblingly, her hand somewhat stiffly pointing at her Irisviel: "Mom? You...your body..."

"My body?"

Alice lowered her head in confusion, and then a pair of high heels came into her sight, and then a strong sense of incongruity instantly hit her!

She didn't bend down, she just lowered her head and saw her feet? Her feet were clearly covered by obstacles before!
