"Sigh! I'm so angry. Why did Mr. Mak make Big Sister Mia work at Mamy's as usual? This way, my plan to sneak over for ice cream during lunch break is completely impossible. But Mamy's is so far away! "
"Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to come over for ice cream, but the ice cream shop's opening hours just happened to overlap with Mamy's. This is terrible."
At the entrance of the restaurant, two girls looked at the opening hours hanging on the door and said angrily.
Esther was a student at the senior magic academy in Chaos School. She was 17 years old this year, and would graduate in a year.
A 17-year-old 4th-tier magic caster. Such talent was above average in the magic world, and in her family, such talent was enough to make her not have to worry about anything for the rest of her life.
So, naturally, she had a lot of pocket money in her pocket.
However, the lunch break at Chaos School wasn't very long, and the distance between the school and Mamy Restaurant wasn't very far. However, there were simply too many people in the line. There were several hundred people in the line, and they had already lined up before they had even finished school. If they wanted to eat the delicious ice cream, they would have to wait until after school in the evening. This was a form of torture.
Many people passed by the ice cream shop with similar expressions. If they had time, they would line up at Mamy's. Time was tight, so they could only wait until next time.
…
During lunch break, Meg borrowed one of the three vacant houses in Mobai. After moving all the parts of the steam engine back, he closed the door and began to fiddle with it.
He might only be a beginner in cooking, but when it came to assembling steam engines, he was a professional. When he was bored while writing his thesis, he took the steam engine apart for fun.
"System, I need a piston, a cylinder, two belts, and four wheels," Meg said in his mind as he spread out all the parts.
Due to the limited production techniques and materials in this world, Meg did not want too many people to participate in the production process, so he still had to buy some parts from the system.
"No," the system replied decisively.
"Name a price." Meg pursed his lips.
"Host, this system is warning you! You are forcibly bringing this world into the age of steam and seriously interfering with the normal development of this world. It will have an immeasurable impact on this world, and it is very likely to trigger divine punishment and erase you from this world! "the system said sternly.
"Could it be that Watt and Faraday were taken in by the heavens back then? They changed the course of Earth on two separate occasions. A steampunk world with swords and magic. Isn't it interesting? "Meg pursed his lips..
"This … This is a further breakthrough made by the two scientists after the continuous research and development of their predecessors. This is inevitable in history, and also the normal process of the world's development! It's a completely different concept! "the system was a little annoyed.
"System, let me ask you. Are you sure that Watt and Ferrari are not transmigrators? Maybe they were forced to cross over to Earth because they scolded the boss of some restaurant? Look at other systems. If you want a steam engine, you'll get it. If you want a generator, you won't grumble. You, on the other hand, not only do I have to do everything myself, but when I want to buy two parts from you, you have to talk a lot of sense to me. It's completely incomparable to other systems. "Meg pursed his lips and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Who said that? How can those gluttonous and lazy fellows be compared to this system?! If the Heavenly Axiom had given me a few trillion gold coins right from the start, all I had to do was give you money every day and force you to do missions. Being a lazy system like this would be too easy! "The system cried out in grief and indignation.
"Looks like you're also short of money?" Meg said softly with a strange expression.
"Nonsense! Don't you need money to develop production lines? Don't you need money to cultivate excellent seeds? Don't you need money to renovate materials? These things burn a lot of money! I broke a copper coin into two copper coins and now I still owe the system next door 20,000 copper coins. That son of a b * tch, the heavens directly gave him a quota of 2 trillion copper coins and gave his host 50,000 copper coins a day. Every day, he chased me for 20,000 copper coins to pay back. Don't you think that's infuriating? "the system's voice was getting more and more aggrieved.
"System, you're such a disgrace." Meg covered his face. He was probably the only one with this system.
"You still dare to say that! If it weren't for you … "the system's voice suddenly became sharp.
"Alright, I'll pack up those parts together. 20,000 copper coins. I'll let you pay back the money first so that you don't embarrass me everywhere." Meg directly interrupted the system.
"Really?" The system's voice stopped abruptly, and it asked in disbelief.
"If you think it's too much, I can reduce it a little." Meg said with a look of indifference.
"How can that be!" the system immediately responded and then asked tentatively, "How about adding a little more?"
"Then 20,001 copper coins it is." Meg nodded and smiled. "I'll leave one for you to play with."
"Deal!"
The system responded quickly. After deducting the copper coins, it immediately went into production. The goods would be delivered in five minutes.
After all the parts were in place, the steam engine was assembled without any difficulty. Soon, a complete two-cylinder steam engine appeared in front of Meg.
Meg wrapped the outer shell with metal. This way, the internal principle wouldn't be seen through at a glance by knowledgeable people.
After adding water to the boiler, the coals that had been sprinkled with alcohol were lit. Steam flowed into the cylinders. As the pressure gradually increased, it began to push the pistons to and fro, which then moved the linkage mechanism and drove the flywheel to start rotating.
"The steam engine's first activation in this world is really a memorable moment." Meg looked at the rapidly rotating flywheel and listened to the sound of the steel parts colliding with each other. Although he was standing on the shoulders of countless giants to build this steam engine, the sense of accomplishment still made him excited.
"Now that I have the steam engine, the next step is to tell a good story." Meg's mouth curved into a smile. This was going to be a crucial step for him to take in this world.
…
"Thank you for saving me, Young Master Cyril. My life is yours now. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me, and I'll be sure to do everything in my power to help you." In a room full of clocks and watches, Goodenia bowed deeply to Cyril, who was fiddling with a small pocket watch.
