Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 375 Time For Presentation



When Lothur announced his arrival to the young carpenter in that place, that skinny fellow with a large lens in front of his right eye looked at him and the others.

"You finally came, huh?" Frederik said this, curious to learn about what Lothur intended to make those parts work.

Lothur had naturally told him to build the parts of the vehicle and the tools needed to assemble it. So Frederik had an idea of what parts went where and what the final appearance of this item would be.

However, he still had no idea how it would move and the importance of some mechanisms. Thus, he was looking forward to when Lothur would come to his store to assemble such a vehicle.

"Finally?" Lothur laughed. "I came on the day we scheduled..."

"I finished that project two nights ago. If you had been curious enough to stop by, we would have had that vehicle ready by now." The malnourished fellow commented, surprising Johann, who was meeting him for the first time.

As for Lothur and Annaliese, they had dealt with this fellow once before, so they knew he was the sincere type who got straight to the point. Then, neither of them was bothered by his speech.

"Really? I would have come here earlier if I had known, but I was busy." Lothur said as he crouched down and took a closer look at the items developed by Frederik.

\'Very nice...\' He looked at the embolus that Frederik had developed based on the blueprints he had drawn.

By probing and seeing the attributes of such a component, Lothur noticed the item\'s excellent characteristics, which are necessary for his plans to work.

\'Each piece built by Frederik is solid and has properties above what I expected...\' He looked at this strange young man at his side. \'It seems he is more talented in his profession than I expected.\'

He then spied on Frederik\'s status.

[Name: Frederik Calis]

[Cultivation: level 3 -> 4]

[STR: 1.7 -> 1.8]

[CON: 2.2 -> 2.4]

[DEX: 22.1 -> 24.5]

[AGI: 1.8 -> 1.9]

\'He has improved quite nicely in Dexterity in these weeks... It seems that working on the design of my vehicle has demanded quite a bit from him.\'

\'But it\'s truly remarkable his talent for Dexterity. I wonder where that comes from?\'

Physical attributes far above the Constitution value were a bit strange since that was the most important attribute. So Lothur knew that the chances of anyone training to the point of developing any other attribute more than this were practically zero.

In this case, all that was left was external means or special abilities to justify a situation similar to Frederik\'s.

As Frederik continued to raise his Dexterity, this was probably not an external resource but a bloodline, Physique, or Soul Bone skill.

In this case, Lothur could count on future improvements, something he highly valued!

"Very good, you did a great job, hehe." This silver-haired young man said aloud, feeling quite pleased but also eager to begin his work.

"Lothur, what is it? Is this the project you told me about?" Johann asked.

Lothur looked at that young formations master and explained. "Johann, this is the miniature of my vehicle. Of course, it is a little different from what I will market in the future since we will have several types of vehicles, but it has the basics that there will be in all the others."

"Oh?" He tried to imagine what that would look like, but as someone with no experience in carpentry, he could not get far.

Lothur continued. "I invited you here because of this. I want you to join me in the production of these vehicles. In fact, I will need a team of formations masters and more carpenters." He looked between Johann and Frederik as he said this.

"So that\'s it..." Johann understood the kind of deal Lothur wanted with him and did not refuse, quickly thinking about the conditions for this to work out.

On the other hand, Frederik was a bit confused and asked. "Do you want to share my work with others?"

"Sure. Will you be able to make a real-size version of vehicles like that daily?" Lothur laughed as he asked that.

"Daily?" Frederik realized his mistake.

Even if he were many times more talented, he could not pull off something like that. So, really, he would need to work with other people to make this project happen.

"I don\'t know any good carpenters like me. So you\'ll have to find them on your own." He said without modesty.

All the carpenters he knew were average men. These individuals only knew how to brag about OK skills while wasting their time drinking and partying on nights and weekends.

So he knew that he could not find anyone from this profession capable of doing what he did, even more so considering that this profession was not as organized as others.

There was even an organization of carpenters, but it was more like a union and less like a teaching and development association.

Lothur heard Frederik\'s comment and did not find it arrogant, as those words were true and sincere. "I know. I\'ll find a way to get people like that with our future investors."

Frederik accepted this, feeling that as long as he could work alone, putting up with others doing the same as him would not be unbearable.

But then he asked. "When will you assemble the parts? I want to see the result of weeks of work."

Annaliese was also curious, so she stopped to pay attention to her man while Johann also looked at Lothur.

Lothur then said. "It won\'t be today. I have something to do, a final preparation before I start my work with these pieces. So I think it will take me three to five days to have the vehicle assembled and ready to be presented."

"Oh? That\'s not very long." Johann commented, while Frederik felt this would be an extremely long period.

"Five days is too long. What will I be doing in that period?" The young carpenter questioned Lothur as he looked thoughtfully at this person, who he did not care if was a local prodigy.

"Why don\'t you start preparing to produce the bigger version of this here?" Lothur pointed in the direction of the parts of that vehicle.

"Make arrangements for the tools needed to produce something larger, as well as the price of the items. With your experience on this first vehicle, I\'m sure you\'ve already noticed a thing or two about improving it and lowering our costs."

Frederik felt that this was indeed the case and that he would need some time to adjust himself to produce the original size version of that vehicle. "Very well, just tell me where and when you will present this vehicle. I want to see with my own eyes it working without a beast or animal pulling it."

"Hehe, I will. I\'ll send out the invitations in about three days." Lothur said this before storing all his vehicle parts in a spatial ring.

He then said goodbye to those two, who in turn went to settle matters concerning the things Lothur had said.

Johann wanted to join Lothur since he had seen how talented the young Ritter was. Meanwhile, Frederik was eager to produce the different vehicle models he had heard from that fellow.

So, with no one else knowing what these youths wanted, Lothur went to the Frost estate alongside Annaliese to receive his awards for helping this family at the Province Conference!
