A strange world

Chapter 1182 Section 104. Invention Fever

The Other World Tree can absorb weird and redundant human nature... Then can it restore them to reason by absorbing crazy and weird human nature?

Annan felt that if it was that easy, their world would not be "dead".

"It only takes one fireball to destroy an object, but it takes the secret of time to restore it to its original state."

Whether the scorched girl, the invisible man and the slug can be rescued depends on their timely rescue and they have not been completely controlled by the abyss that Annan has seen.

As they spoke, they regained consciousness. The Other World Tree slowly retracted its roots. Compared to a few minutes ago, it has grown nearly half a meter taller.

The harvest of dessert after dinner is more filling than the main meal.

"How do you feel?"

"Good, want to sleep..." said the invisible man.

The slug returned to its usual jumping behavior, but it just didn't like the experience just now. In addition to the weak feeling of having its power drained away, the other two were entangled in arms or waists, and its whole body--

"Let me introduce it to you. It's the Other World Tree."

"The flower pot you always hold?" The slug tilted its head.

"Yes, that's it."

Annan said apologetically: "I asked you to be part-time executioners just to create weird things to feed it, but I didn't expect it to make you lose control..."

The slugs were flattered and twisted their bodies embarrassedly, indicating that they were voluntary.

"That's good. Next, I will give you another job: Other World Tree Porter. After you execute the prisoners, come to the garden to feed the Other World Tree."

This time, there is no middleman to make a profit, and with the care of the two gardeners, Irilanze and Dade, the Other World Tree can thrive.

Annan looks forward to the day when the Other World Tree grows into a towering tree.

The Otherworld Tree didn't need him to worry about it anymore, so Annan turned his attention back to the steam engine and the mining area, especially the steam engine.

As long as Liberty City developed the steam engine, Annan could put the king of land freight, the train, on the agenda. At that time, the projects around it would not only provide thousands of jobs, but also earn money from outsiders.

As soon as he arrived at the mushroom house, Michael pointed to a metal machine made of gears in the corner and said, "It's done."

"It's done?"

Annan looked at the simple steam engine suspiciously.

It looks like a steam engine, but there is a mysterious machine covered with black cloth next to it.

"You said 'Give me a few more days!' yesterday, and you made it today?"

"Yes, I just made a breakthrough." Michael didn't even raise his head, still fiddling with his magic crystal.

"Are you talking about the same thing as me?"

Seeing that Annan didn't believe it, Michael put down the magic crystal lightly, came to the "steam engine", picked up a basket of bread on it, opened the lid of the "steam engine", and poured the bread in.

Then, Annan saw the gear at the end slowly turning, driving the connected gears, and then more and more gears followed suit.

It actually worked! ?

"Michael, you... are a genius! The story of Annan Porter when he grows up should be played by you!" Annan said excitedly.

He knew that what Michael said about "a machine that uses steam to push the piston out to form power" was too abstract, and he was prepared for a few months of no results, but he didn't expect that it would succeed in less than two months!

But this steam engine seems a bit strange...

Annan looked at the beautifully rotating gears and thought about it. Why didn't the water boil and no steam came out?

And what steam engine is driven by bread?

Annan's attention gradually fell on the box covered with black cloth next to him. Just as he was about to step forward, Michael stopped him.

"What's wrong?"

"... It malfunctioned when it was opened."

"Is there such a saying?" Annan did hear the theory that the box is opened and not opened as two states... but what does it have to do with the steam engine?

When Annan was doubtful, a faint sound of "dong dong--" came out from the black cloth. It was definitely not the sound of boiling or the movement of the machine.

Annan looked at the nervous Michael suspiciously, and slowly put his ear to the black cloth...

"Huha--Huha--"

A faint but real panting sound came, and Annan suddenly stood up and lifted the black cloth.

The things running in the box were suddenly exposed to the light, and they covered their eyes with strange cries, tripped each other, and rolled into a ball in the cage.

One, two, three... three goblins, stay in the running wheel!

As the goblins stopped, the gears stopped turning.

Annan looked at Michael in disbelief. He didn't expect that he had learned to cheat funds!

Suppressing his anger, Annan asked Michael to let the goblins out first.

A few minutes later, the three little goblins and Michael stood in a row.

Annan looked at him with a look of disappointment: "Don't you feel ashamed? I gave you the Mushroom House and privileges, but you lied to me--"

The three little goblins looked up at Michael.

Michael was pointed at and said anxiously: "Do you think invention is a goblin? You can give birth to a bunch of things if you want! It's hard for me to understand what you said in such a short time! I can only make a goblin machine to deceive you!"

The three little goblins looked at Annan at the same time.

After saying this, Annan felt that Michael had some truth. Invention is not a dinner party, and it starts from scratch: "Okay... Then in a few days...?"

Michael is indeed a talent, and a good friend who has known each other for a long time. It is difficult for Annan to really blame him.

As a result, Michael looked like he had given up on himself: "I have an idea. You hang me now, take off my head and hang it in the mushroom house. Maybe this will inspire other alchemy apprentices to tinker with what you want!"

"How much time do you need?"

"I..." Michael sighed: "Let me take a break first... At least make up for some relevant knowledge. In order to make the steam engine you mentioned, I don't even have time to meditate."

"Forget it, asking you to study a field you are not good at is too difficult. It's my fault." Looking at Michael's messy bird's nest-like hair, Annan softened his heart: "Do the research you like. Aren't you interested in alchemical materials such as unstable crystals? Continue your research."

"Uh..." Annan's retreat made Michael flattered, and he said helplessly: "It's not your fault... You are the lord, it's wrong for me to cheat you with your money... You don't have to consider my feelings."

The three little goblins opened their mouths and watched the two apologize to each other.

"It's not all about you. Unstable crystals are also useful. If you can make it stable, more powerful, and smaller...next year's Liberty Cup Great Invention Award will be yours."

"What's the use..." Michael doesn't care about fame.

"More funding."

"I will take the Great Invention Award next year!"
