Chapter 216: I Have High Hopes for You

"I am not lying to you; I know all about your research." Karoso began, "For example, the noisy robot you want to create, its purpose is to be an alarm clock, right? But this alarm clock will awaken monsters, causing even distant monsters to pay attention to it, bringing disaster and being deemed as garbage, against humanity."

Kirmin was silent. She had invented this robot, but it had truly been judged as trash.

"But what if we use it while exploring a dungeon? How would it work on the battlefield?" Karoso said, "Your class is for civilian use; this thing shouldn’t be for civilians. If it were in a military class, it would be a powerful tool, a tool to attract monsters!"

"On the battlefield, this robot could keep the enemy restless. It would definitely be a Divine Artifact of war!"

"The teacher also said that, but it’s not sturdy enough…" Kirmin sighed, "It can only attract for a few seconds before it gets destroyed, and it costs a lot. The teacher said it would be better to just get a dog to bark; at least it can bark a few more times."

"Your research hits a wall because of its sturdiness, and that relates to my invention." Karoso said in a serious tone, "Holy Shield."

"Holy Shield?" Kirmin blinked.

"Yes, it’s like a Magic Shield. If we put a One Layer Magic Shield on it, its durability would increase many times. Don’t you think that makes it even more valuable?" Karoso said.

"How do we add a Magic Shield?" Kirmin scratched her head. "We can’t just carve a magic circle on it, right? That would require magic materials and cost even more."

"That’s your challenge. I believe in your ability to make it economical." Karoso said.

"Hmm…" Kirmin touched her chin.

"And there’s the robotic dog. You call it a mechanical pet, but no one would actually keep this kind of mechanical pet, right? Just like before, if we give it military features, it becomes something different," Karoso said. "And what about the cleaning robot…"

"The cleaning robot has problems," Kirmin complained. "It automatically collects valuable things, and I don’t even know how to change that. If we put it in a house, it will collect all the good items, and the owner will have to take them back and put them in their place. Plus, it uses a lot of materials, making it seem quite heavy."

"How about making it clean the battlefield?" Karoso suggested. "Being heavy means it has strong defense, so it doesn’t fear landmines or half-dead soldiers. Isn’t that the perfect tool for cleaning the battlefield?"

Kirmin’s eyes gradually brightened.

It was as if Karoso had opened a new door for her.

All her previous research directions had actually been for civilian purposes.

Military use?

Marl Academy has a strict rule: only noble children can study military robots, commoners are not allowed to learn such subjects.

Just like before, the son of the bank employee would do something related to the bank, and the same goes for tobacco, making it seem like an inheritance.

In this world, some things are openly inherited.

Kirmin thought about military methods, but the things she learned were limited, and some of her own restrictions made it hard for her to study that direction.

Karoso thought only of military uses, and the improvement directions he pointed out were all from a military perspective, which helped Kirmin know how to make changes.

Now, Kirmin truly believed that Karoso approached her because of her research abilities.

How could she not be excited knowing this?

She always felt like someone with talent in mechanical research who was overlooked, and no one ever took her machinery seriously.

Now, there is finally someone who does, making her feel like she wants to devote herself completely.

"I understand now; I will improve in this direction from now on, it’s just that… about the knowledge I’ve learned…"

"I can help you with that. I have military books," said Karoso.

"Thank you, young master!" Kirmin said excitedly.

"Now, can you successfully complete that juicer? The materials decompose and automatically combine, but it seems full of uncertainties. I really need a machine like that to see what kind of materials can be created," Karoso said. "As long as what you create is useful, I can help you build a factory to produce it. When we make money, you will get sixty and I will get forty. Also, I will help you apply for the Mechanic medal; the Mechanical Association will definitely have a place for you in the future."

Giving Kirmin sixty percent of the profit is already very generous in her eyes.

Sounds a bit strange, right?

Kirmin is responsible for the research and pays for the research expenses herself. Once there are results, Karoso only helps with setting up a factory and takes forty percent of the profit.

In fact, what Karoso offers is really quite high.

In some places, just helping with promotion takes ninety percent of the profit.

And that Mechanic medal is purely for honor.

With this honor medal, it feels like having a real steady job. You won’t go hungry anywhere and will be respected.

"Okay, when I get back to school, I will study it carefully!" Kirmin nodded repeatedly.

"There’s no time, you need to stay in the City of Freedom for a while." Karoso said, "You can only research in the City of Freedom."

"Huh?" Kirmin was confused.

If it were the old City of Freedom, Kirmin would be very happy because it is the biggest trading city, and high-quality materials are available everywhere.

The problem is, now the City of Freedom is filled with monsters. Where can we steal materials?

It will take at least two years to restore the old City of Freedom; it’s not realistic to think about it sooner.

"One month, I will give you one month." Karoso held up one finger.

"One month? That’s not realistic!" Kirmin was flustered.

If I can’t do this, will I be left behind?

Karoso’s promise was too tempting, and she really wanted to seize this opportunity.

"And I don’t have any materials!"

"Materials…"

……

An hour later, outside a huge warehouse, Karoso opened the big door.

Looking at the things inside, Kirmin’s eyes went wide.

There were all kinds of mechanical materials piled inside like garbage.

"This, this, this… there’s even this kind of alloy here!" Kirmin stepped forward, stepped on a metal block, and picked it up, "This is worth a fortune! How can it just be tossed away like this? What a waste!"

She picked up a metal piece and rushed into the warehouse, grabbing a robot, "The newest home coffee robot? There must be so many complicated mechanical parts inside! If it’s just lying around like this, it could get broken."

"And also…"

Kirmin looked at the materials in the warehouse with great interest and turned around, confused, "Young Master, where did all this come from?"

"Loot."

Karoso calmly replied.

This is the good news of the army coming to the City of Freedom.

To put it nicely, they are here to save the City of Freedom, and to put it bluntly, they are here to take advantage of the chaos…

Karoso’s original plan was to loot.
