Be a Good Mascot, Don't Pull Any Stunts!
Technology Research Institute.
Xi Yue looked at Su Ye, who had brought Olides to the research institute, a hint of doubt in her eyes. She had just returned, and they were already here. Was there something wrong with the blueprints? That shouldn't be the case.
Su Ye looked at the clean lobby of the Technology Research Institute with curiosity in his eyes.
"Your Emperor, is there a problem with the blueprints?" Xi Yue asked Su Ye.
"The blueprints are fine, but they're a bit too good," Su Ye said to Xi Yue.
"Huh?" A question mark popped into Xi Yue's head. What did she mean by "a little too good"?
"Let me put it this way, Liquid Robot are great, but Normal Lord can't afford them, let alone spend the money to buy them. Do you understand?" Su Ye said with a smile.
Xi Yue:...
She thought there was a problem with her design drawings, but the problem was actually here: those lords were too poor to spend the money.
Xi Yue thought about it and realized it made sense. Based on the rank of the Liquid Robot, which is comparable to a Tenth Rank Troops, the resources required to manufacture one would be considerable.
Selling it cheap would mean losing money, but if it's not cheap, not many lords can afford to buy it. This is indeed a problem.
"So, Your Emperor, what do you mean?" Xi Yue asked Su Ye.
"My meaning is simple: we want to make it cheaper. Weapons and equipment are fine, but the raw materials need to be cheap and cost-effective," Su Ye said to Xi Yue.
"Are there any other requirements?" Xi Yue asked Su Ye after he had written them down.
"Durability is secondary; the main thing is that it's cheap and has a high cost-performance ratio. That's all."
"I understand, Your Emperor. There's no problem with that. It will be developed soon." Xi Yue nodded and noted it down, speaking earnestly.
"By the way, is Xi Yue capable of developing Primary Alloy?" Su Ye asked Xi Yue.
"Primary Alloy? That's no problem. Does Your Emperor need it?" Xi Yue pushed up her glasses.
"Yes, we need to figure it out as soon as possible, if possible," Su Ye said in a deep voice.
Xi Yue nodded seriously.
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Remember to have the banquet tonight," Su Ye said to Xi Yue.
"Understood, Your Emperor." Xi Yue nodded.
Su Ye then took Olides and left the Technology Research Institute.
For Su Ye, it's best to leave professional matters to professionals; he doesn't need to interfere and just focus on fulfilling his role as the client.
Just tell Xi Yue what you need. If Xi Yue can do it, she definitely can. If she can't, then forget about it. It's that simple.
In short, Su Ye has always positioned himself as a mascot. If there are any requirements, he will speak up; if there are no requirements, he will simply fulfill his duties as a mascot, eat, drink, and have fun. It's better not to do anything outrageous.
"Olides, let's go take a look at the Second Territory," Su Ye said to Olides.
Olides nodded.
A Light Gate opened in front of Su Ye, Su Ye then led Olides inside.
In the Second Territory.
Su Ye produced the Stocking Automatic Factory Blueprint.
A system notification sounded.
[Ding: Confirm consumption of the following green blueprints: Stocking Automatic Factory Blueprint, 10,000 Wood, 10,000 Stone, 10,000 Iron Ore, 10,000 Copper Ore, 1,000 Origin Crystal, 10,000 Gold Coin, to establish an Automatic Stocking Factory?]
"Confirmed." Su Ye watched as the green blueprint in his hand turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
This thing is for one-time use only. If you need to expand it in the future, just ask Xi Yue to make it for you. It's not a big problem.
A factory model appeared in Su Ye's hands.
Outside the factory, there are various styles of stockings.
"Emmmm, not bad." Su Ye looked at the factory model in his hand, then placed it directly in his Affiliate Territory.
A factory rose from the ground. Su Ye looked at the factory in front of him—a fully automated production plant.
Name: Stocking Automatic Production Factory
Grade: Silver Rank (Green blueprint: Black Iron to Silver Rank)
Features: Automatic generation, customizable, random addition of low-level terms
Materials: 100 pieces of silk + 1 piece of Origin Crystal = 100 pairs of stockings
"Silk?" In the Lord World, Su Ye is no different from Wood or Stone and is not considered a high-grade material.
If he wanted some, Su Ye could get them anytime, no problem.
However, this was something Su Ye hadn't expected. But since it was possible to attach low-level affixes, it wasn't surprising that it required Origin Crystal Origin Crystal.
"How about producing a hundred first?" Su Ye couldn't help but think, glancing at his Origin Crystal and Gold Coin before turning it off.
Let's hold off for now; we don't have enough money, and we can't afford to waste any more money on this.
Building has already reached its limit. If production continues, Su Ye cannot do it now. There are no resources that Su Ye can afford to waste. Su Ye needs to be more economical now.
This was something Su Ye hadn't expected. Just two days ago, he had over 100,000 Origin Crystal and over 1 million Gold Coin, but today he almost went bankrupt.
We'll get around to this when we have the money; for now, we'll save money wherever possible.
One word: Poor!
Su Ye activated the light directly, bringing Olides back to the Main Territory.
Stretching, Su Ye went straight to the Origin Divine Tree and wandered around the Territory like an idle the Wanderer.
Finally, we arrived at Spirit Source Lake.
"There are still too few entertainment facilities in the Territory." Su Ye thought to himself as he looked at the Gene Praetorian Spirit Source Lake, the End Moon Purge, the Original Sin Fallen Angel, the Pureblood Fallen Angel, the Holy Angel, Valkyrie in the Spirit Source Lake.
"The Emperor (God King, God Emperor, Lord) is coming down to play!" The voices rose and fell.
Su Ye seemed to hear a system notification.
The Gene Praetorian / The End Moon Purge / The Original Sin Fallen Angel / The Pureblood Fallen Angel / The Holy Angel / The Valkyrie have issued a duel challenge to you!
"I'm coming!!" Su Ye leaped directly into Spirit Source Lake.
Amidst bursts of laughter, Su Ye felt enveloped in warmth, his entire body radiating comfort.
One word: Awesome!!
As time passed, night fell.
The Bonfire in the Territory was lit again.
Xi Yue was also pulled out of the Technology Research Institute by Su Ye. Xi Yue looked helplessly at the Black Iron Rank wine in her hand and the roast meat in front of her.
He glanced at Su Ye, who was laughing heartily and enjoying the food and wine, and then smiled.
The atmosphere in the Territory was quite good; there was no distinction between superior and inferior Troops, at least in the eyes of Lord Su Ye.
"Alright, have fun at the banquet, you're the star today." Lilith put her arm around Xi Yue and said with a mischievous smile.
Xi Yue glanced at Lilith, struggled for a moment, then gave up. Unable to resist, she could only enjoy it.
