Old Keli was clearly out of touch with the advanced thinking from another world; it was unclear whether he was asking a question or muttering to himself:
"Isn't it simply a matter of not being selected?"
"Of course not. Although large-scale promotion will be a problem if Mr. Gray loses the election, small-scale use of the Machine Spirit will definitely get the support of the new Grand Foundry Master."
"But who exactly is the target of this 'small-scale promotion' is up to us."
[ Do Some Farm Work ] begins to spout nonsense with a straight face, like a shady salesman trying to con an elderly person out of their pension, telling Keli that he must seize this "major historical opportunity."
Of course, he was also worried that Keli might think the Machine Spirit was a good thing and therefore it was best for him to use it alone, so he added:
"But even so, the usage time of the Machine Spirit will eventually end. If we want to have the Machine Spirit to use forever, the only way is for Mr. Gray to become the Grand Foundry Master."
Old Keli thought for a moment and said to the two of them:
"What you said makes a lot of sense. Let me get to know my 'old buddy' first, and then I'll tell my friends about it after I'm done with this morning's work."
The two Soul Returner to their homes immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this:
"Okay, okay, I knew you were a reasonable person."
"So where can we find you two?"
Old Keli asked, puzzled.
[ Do Some Farm Work ] replied:
"We have another presentation this afternoon in the main square of the Great Labyrinth City. You and your friends are welcome to come and listen. After the presentation, we can activate your friend's Machine Spirit and fulfill our promise."
"Very good."
Keli's face immediately lit up with a rosy glow. After leading the two despicable strangers from the Second Holy See out of the shop, he turned to look at his dough mixer.
Although they had been together for over twenty years, Old Keli felt he had never looked at his old friend so intently, nor did he value him as much as he had imagined.
Just like how, even though he knew that many parts inside the dough mixer were worn out, he had no intention of replacing them until today, completely adopting a "use it as much as you can, if it works" attitude.
Looking at the machine kneading the dough with all its might, Keli felt a pang of guilt.
The people in the Graycast Corridor can't live without machines, but if... if these machines could come to life, would everyone like them even more?
He felt confident he could do it.
On the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess, the five players who had just completed their first promotion were still in a state of lingering excitement:
"We actually did it!"
One player happily said:
"I knew this method for making PPTs would be useful."
He pointed to the huge poster that could be rolled up into a scroll or unfolded for explanation and said:
"It would be great if we could get more."
"It's okay, one is enough."
[ Do Some Farm Work ] patted him on the shoulder:
"Two more shops have opened over there, let's go check them out."
"Walk!"
This is the sound coming from the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess, a multitasking Machine Spirit that has been keeping an eye on everyone's actions.
Hearing its sound, the [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] asked:
How's your studying going?
"Fortunately, I've already learned how to draw simple circuits."
The one who answered her question was the elven mage Nuowa. Although this elf had promised not to take direct action, the help she had provided to everyone in the past two days was no less than that of taking direct action.
Clearly, for this Elf King, "cannot directly intervene" does not mean "can only intervene indirectly," but rather "can do anything as long as he doesn't directly intervene."
Teaching the Machine Spirit, providing Psionic Energy assistance, binding the vampire grand duke's clone...
Without this Short-Eared Elf, the players' plans would have long since fallen apart.
[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] solemnly thanked the elven mage, and also discovered that the elven assassin had disappeared without a trace.
However, this matter had nothing to do with her, while the elven mage reminded her:
"It's too early to thank me; I remember you seem to have a lot of work to do."
Why are you so concerned about this?
Do you think you'll make money if Gray wins the election?
[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] was puzzled, but simply assumed that the elves were just simple, honest, and hospitable people, so he nodded in agreement. Then, the group continued to sell Machine Spirit in their King of Fall Resistance, I Guess.
According to everyone's plan, they would activate forty to fifty Machine Spirit in the morning, and in the afternoon they would go to the main square of the Great Labyrinth City for a passionate campaign speech.
They must make sure Gray wins honorably!
Family, family!
"Sincerity isn't just talk; we at the Machine Spirit Faction never play games. Today, we're giving all of you a special perk—"
On the top deck of the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess, [ Do Some Farm Work ] was talking so hard that he felt like his throat wasn't even his own anymore.
Even though he was exhausted, the enthusiasm on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
This event was so awesome!
[ Do Some Farm Work ] is very clear about his own position. He is a person with strong execution ability but average planning ability.
Therefore, with the help of [ Ginseng Rooster ], the chief planner, he became exceptionally adept at handling these individual tasks.
In these steps that require you to complete them yourself, doing small tasks is naturally an essential part to appreciate.
"Everyone who experienced the Machine Spirit today can receive a ' Three-Day Bread Voucher ' from us!"
Seeing the astonished eyes below, [ Do Some Farm Work ] continued to shout at the top of his lungs:
"The ' Three-Day Bread Voucher ' is a voucher jointly launched by our Machine Spirit Faction and ' Keli's Bakery '. It can be redeemed at Old Keli's house for three days, which is a standard bread ration for nine meals."
"We're not doing this because we have to use food to win you over; it's just that our candidate Gray, started too late and we need to seize this last opportunity to campaign!"
"Our campaigning is just, aboveboard, and selfless!"
"The fact that you accepted our kindness is simply a way for you to experience the wonderful life that Mr. Gray will lead after becoming Grand Foundry Master. It is by no means a shady deal like accepting a favor."
Think about it carefully, everyone.
How many people will immediately benefit from the promotion of modular circuits?
Will the profits from the Floating Corpse Sea route end up in everyone's pockets?
"Will the land we establish in the Demon Realm allow for tax reductions for everyone?"
"The answers to these questions are clear to everyone even if I don't tell them."
"But only Machine Spirit can satisfy everyone!"
