The news that Alex had saved a mercenary squad and killed all of the perpetrators was still spreading like wildfire among the mercenaries when another piece of even more exciting news began to spread.
All of the elves who had been captured had been rescued. Aside from a few who had committed suicide, everyone else was still alive, and had been brought back to Chaos City from the hideout of the murderers.
However, it wasn't the Gray Temple that had done all of this. Instead, it was Alex.
One man, one sword, broke into the hideout alone, and killed all of the murderers.
That night, the name "Alex" became the most talked about name in Chaos City. Some of the stories about him in the past were also dug up, and became the hottest topic of conversation. Everyone listened with great interest, and couldn't help but cheer for him.
All of a sudden, everyone discovered that the world seemed to have become a lot more boring in the three years without Alex.
Now that he was back, in less than a month's time, there were many topics that everyone liked to talk about in their leisure time.
In the battle of Rodu, six 10th-tier powerhouses and the spatial demon patriarch perished. Immediately afterward, he appeared in The Wind Forest, severely wounded the elven great elder, and protected Irina. He then went to Chaos City and announced that he would protect all of the wandering elves.
Then, on this day, he descended from the heavens again and killed all of the murderers.
Even though he was a human, he was no longer just a human hero.
…
Meg was currently holding down Ugly Duckling, which was struggling to jump out of the bathtub, with Amy. He didn't care what other people thought of him. In this world, nothing was more important than Amy, who had a bit of white foam on her nose.
"Ugly Duckling, if you don't take a good bath, then don't get on my bed from now on. I don't want a stinky guy sleeping next to me," Amy said to Ugly Duckling, who was trying to climb out of the tub, with a serious expression.
Ugly Duckling immediately stopped in its tracks. It looked at Amy for a while, and after ascertaining that she was serious, it withdrew its paw, and meowed in a feeble voice, "Meow ~"
"That's more like it." Amy nodded with satisfaction. She applied some shower gel on its body, and after rubbing it for a while, she turned to Ugly Duckling with a smile, and said, "Ugly Duckling, why don't you learn to swim? That way, you'll be able to save me if we fall into the water together in the future."
"Meow!" Ugly Duckling's eyes immediately widened as if it had heard something incredible.
"You're going to be very, very fat in the future. If you fall into the water, I won't be able to save you. But if I fall into the water … I won't be able to fall into the water, because I can fly," Amy with a smug look on her face.
"Meow ~" Ugly Duckling shook its little head as it slowly retreated with a fearful expression.
"Of"
"You of course!
Of course, of course, of course, of you, of course..
"That's more like it. Swim for me."
Meg then watched as a little orange cat began to swim in the bathtub. However, due to its poor technique and lack of experience, it choked on a few mouthfuls of water. However, after learning the dog paddle style, it was able to swim quite well.
After blow-drying Ugly Duckling, Meg coaxed Amy to sleep, and then went to the balcony by himself.
The early winter nights were already a little cold. Meg wrapped his clothes tightly around himself, and looked up at the starry sky. Sometimes, he would wonder if there was a sun among the countless stars.
It had been almost four months since he had come to this world. In the beginning, he had been at a loss, but now, he had opened his heart and accepted this world. This was undoubtedly a very special experience for him.
Of course, if it weren't for Amy, he probably wouldn't have been able to persist for so long. Perhaps he wouldn't even have the determination to walk out of the test field for the God of Cookery. After all, he was such a lazy person.
This world wasn't that beautiful. The conflicts between the different races never stopped, and even he couldn't stay out of it.
Meg stood silently on the balcony, and looked up at the starry sky. He began to sort out the problems that he had to face next, and the direction that he had to work toward.
In three months, the peace treaty signed by the Norland Continent 100 years ago would expire. Whether the different races chose to renew the treaty would determine whether this relatively peaceful situation could continue to be maintained.
Everyone knew that the renewal of the treaty would definitely not go smoothly. After 100 years of recuperation, all the races would have their own ideas, and it would clearly not be easy to reach a consensus. Otherwise, all the races would have made an announcement after the birthday banquet of the Roth Empire, but they didn't.
The possibility of an all-out war between species was very low. After all, even the powerful dragon tribe had been severely damaged in the war.
However, there would definitely be a lot of local wars. It was very likely that the different races would redistribute their territories according to their power, and many innocent people would still die in the war.
With Meg's current power, he naturally couldn't do anything in this matter. Even Alex couldn't do anything in the past. At most, he could make some statements in Alex's name, and let those who made the decisions know the boundaries in their hearts.
The restaurant was now on the right track. After the upgrade and expansion today, the turnover should increase significantly.
However, he had just spent a huge amount of gold coins to buy two strength points from the system. He didn't know when he would be able to earn enough money for the next strength point, so it was also very unlikely that his power would increase drastically in a short period of time.
The steam engine had already been handed over to the city lord's castle and the Buffett Financial Group. It was equivalent to him using his patent to buy a stake in the motorcycle industry, and 20% of the steam engine's other uses. The possibility of mass production and huge profits in a short period of time was also very low.
This was especially so for the construction of the railway. This was a bottomless pit. Before a stable transportation channel was formed, who knew how much money he would have to pour into it before he could reap the profits?
Compared to the railway, Meg was more optimistic about the steam engine's other uses in the short term.
Textiles, machinery, smelting … In all aspects of the industry, the steam engine's application space was very wide. It was a vast blue sea. Efficiency was its strongest competitiveness. Once it entered the mass production stage, it would bring him and Buffett Banks incomparably huge profits.
Meg was very clear about this from the beginning. If he firmly held the steam engine in his hands and operated it properly, it would not be impossible for him to become the new richest man on the Norland Continent.
