Chapter 219: The Money-Sucking Machine
Karoso’s eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Hurry, take me to see it."
After saying that, Karoso grabbed Kirmin’s wrist and ran towards her workshop.
『』 looked at the two kids in confusion, wondering what machine had them so anxious.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Kirmin’s workshop.
Inside, there were machines everywhere, and the floor was covered with various wrenches and work gloves, as well as grease and dirt.
Kirmin now looked worn out from all the work with Karoso; her hair was messy, and her beautiful white hair was stained with oil and dirt. Her face had patches of black and red, but her glasses still looked somewhat neat.
Her clothes were even worse; her work outfit was smeared with all kinds of stains. If someone didn’t know better, they might think she was a mechanic, and not a very respected one at that.
"Young master, look quickly, this is the machine you wanted, Kirmin’s juice maker!" Kirmin walked to the center of the room and tapped on the square machine.
Buzz!
When Kirmin tapped it, the machine sprayed out a large cloud of white mist and started to shake.
Above the square device, there is a round hole, and on each side are oval openings; the whole machine is as tall as a person.
Kirmin was able to invent this so quickly because Karoso’s request was very clear.
If all clients were like Karoso, efficiency would increase at least five times.
Not only that, Karoso even wrote a complete introduction for the machine.
The introduction was written by the future Kirmin, so she surely understands what she means.
"Here." Kirmin stood on her tiptoes and pointed to the round hole, "Put the materials here, and then press the switch, and it can create new materials, approximately."
"Well… this machine has some problems. Some of the magic formulas I used weren’t very good, and they got mixed up together, creating a new type of magic formula. When several materials are combined, what can they really make, hmm…"
[Yes, that’s it! Kirmin’s juice maker!]
[Damn it, a money-burning machine!]
[Every time I think of this machine, I want to first punish and then get rid of the scammer!]
[In the early days of the game, before there were any hired players, I would gather materials every day.]
[Boohoo, it’s all tears! Honey Karoso, let’s blow off some steam after what Kirmin did to us!]
"Let me give it a try," Karoso said. He quickly took out the Magic Stone and asked someone to bring him the materials he needed.
Among them were stones, metal ores, and herbs.
Kirmin looked at the valuable materials and swallowed hard.
"Well, young master, why don’t you try a cheaper one?" Kirmin suggested cautiously.
"No need," Karoso replied, placing the materials inside one by one, following the exact proportions given by the netizen.
After adding a few materials, Karoso pressed a button.
Buzz!
The machine began to spray white mist and made strange noises that sounded like excited shouts.
Click click…
In less than three minutes, the machine stopped working.
Whoosh…
Two puffs of black smoke flowed out from either side.
"What is this…" Karoso stepped closer and pinched the ash, "What is it?"
"This, I don’t know either. I just built the machine, and when it started working, I called for the young master," Kirmin said weakly.
[Ha ha ha! The machines in this world are related to magic. They have magical circles carved on them, so…]
[Sometimes, the operation of this machine is like a program. Even if the formula is wrong, it can still operate in a strange way.]
[Right, and then it causes some unknown consequences.]
[If you encounter a bug, never try to fix it; otherwise, more bugs will appear.]
Karoso pinched it, licked it with his tongue, and said in surprise, "This is… coal!"
"Huh? Why is there coal?" Kirmin’s eyes grew wide.
"These materials shouldn’t produce coal no matter how you refine them…" Karoso pondered.
This machine is indeed amazing!
No matter what, these materials should not create something like coal, but this machine actually produced it. This means the machine has broken the rules, resembling ancient alchemy a bit.
In ancient times, alchemy was not like it is now, where everything has a fixed output and there are various ready-made formulas.
Back then, alchemy could create anything, and it was very strange.
Karoso continued to put materials in, and then…
For a whole hour, the materials were almost used up, and it still produced coal.
Seeing Karoso’s face had turned as dark as coal, Kirmin chuckled awkwardly, "Um, young master, how about… I fix this?"
"I’ll try again." Karoso took a deep breath.
The loss earlier was at least three million!
Three million turned into about thirty pounds of coal, that’s unbelievable!
Seeing Karoso shaking with anger, Kirmin quietly took a step back.
Will the young master take out his anger on me because of this invention failure?
Thinking of this, Kirmin hurriedly dipped her small hand in the coal on the ground and smeared it on her face.
I’m so dirty, the young master shouldn’t be able to hurt me, he shouldn’t, right?
Kirmin thought about the examples of those researchers; some were thrown into the sea to be fish food after losing millions for their sponsors, others were chopped up to feed dogs, and female researchers could even end up in cages with drugged dogs…
A shiver ran down Kirmin’s spine, and her gaze gradually turned to fear.
Being a researcher has always been a high-risk job.
Damn it, how could I have been so excited back then to agree to the young master’s unreliable invention?
Karoso asked someone to bring a batch of materials, just like a gambler, sending them in one by one.
[This is it, Honey Karoso has lost control.]
[Come on, Honey Karoso, stay calm!]
[Gambling truly harms people.]
[I cannot share this world with gambling and drugs!]
[Honey Karoso finally understands our pain…]
[We suffer and take risks; at most, we lose some time and a hundred or eighty dollars. But Honey Karoso has lost at least several million. Can it be the same?]
[The machines of greedy merchants are not something everyone can afford.]
Karoso continued to throw materials in one by one, feeling a bit hopeless.
Without this machine, we cannot produce enough materials, and we will lose the help of the Nature Mage Association.
Without the Nature Mage Association, how can we put pressure on the church? At that time, Neymar…
The more Karoso thought about it, the more worried he became.
He was wondering if Messiah, who had tricked him before, was behind this.
If Messiah knew what Karoso was thinking, she would surely be so angry that she would hit him.
Is it bad luck for you, or my fault?
When comparing the luck attribute of Karoso with that of Neymar, it is like one person scoring only three hundred points, while the other can get into a top university…
Ding-dong.
Just at that moment, a clear sound rang out.
Colorful materials flowed out from both sides.
