Mixed Blessing System

Seeing his women's new ratings, Lothur smiled in satisfaction, happy for them and himself.

Making those around him stronger was also a pleasurable thing to do.

Since he loved these three women, he couldn't help but feel good about being able to help them!

"Now I am at the 3rd Revolution..." Elke commented after finishing her breakthrough, feeling the power even stronger than her mother's.

Elke was about 18 years old but had already surpassed a local matriarch.

That was impressive!

But she knew she owed her advances to Lothur. After jumping for joy at getting another advance, she went into his arms and kissed him fervently.

Annaliese and Viktoria had also improved, with Lothur's wife also managing to advance in terms of physical power, while her younger sister only improved her overall attributes.

All in all, they were all stronger and thanked their man without delay.

Only Annaliese held back since Viktoria still didn't know what she and Lothur were doing...

"Lothur, what do we do now?" Viktoria asked him, knowing there was still time until the factory's opening.

"Let's stop by the academy. I want to pick up some quests to do in the next two weeks." He said, already planning what to do during the days he would have before the competition for the Secret Realm slots.

During that time, he would have to deal with the affairs of the Ritter Motor Company. But during the nights and weekends, Lothur intended to focus on doing quests to raise his name in the ranking of the Morning Star Academy.

He had promised Elke he would have his name at number one when he left that place. So that was what he would pursue now that he wouldn't have so much opposition in the province!

Currently, his name was at position 2,517, a far cry from the ideal position for someone of his skills and prestige.

So they left that residence for a quick stroll through the academy, attracting attention as always since he and his women were impressive and envied within that institution.

...

When 15 minutes had passed since noon, Lothur and those three finally arrived in front of the Ritter Motor Company factory.

All of Lothur's associates and several family members of these people, essential individuals in Peters City, were there for the inauguration.

Because of the number of specialists, carriages, and people in that area, local guards were stationed nearby.

At the same time, the Duke of the Province was there, even though he was not an ally of Lothur.

"This place looks really different..." He commented to coroner Klossner, looking at the front of the factory.

The Ritter Motor Company had signed agreements with Chris's government so that through its subsidiaries, it could develop services essential to the better functioning of its activities.

Because they needed permission to alter local streets, build roads, and much more, this company had to relate to the local government.

The Duke took advantage of this situation to be there and see some of what Lothur was developing.

"Yes, Lothur said that this facility has things that have never appeared on our continent." August commented to his friend as he watched Lothur, Elke, Annaliese, and Viktoria descend from a carriage.

The four were well-dressed as if they were going to a party, not a factory.

But these were appropriate attire for the situation since hardly anyone in front of that factory was dressed otherwise.

In any case, as soon as they arrived there, the conversations in the surrounding area diminished in frequency.

When Lothur and his women arrived at the entrance gate, he climbed onto a small palanquin and spoke to those people. "My associates, friends, and fellow Peters City residents, today we will happily begin the journey of the Ritter Motor Company towards the transportation revolution in Concordia!

With the opening of this plant, we will begin a process of evolution that will take everyone involved, whether owners, employees, customers, etc., to a new level.

We will create new jobs and enable trade between cities and provinces never before imagined due to transportation difficulties.

Amidst this, we will enrich the society involved in the project!"

With Lothur's beautiful words, the people in front of that factory applauded him, overjoyed with his promises.

Even the Duke was pleased since, as much as he was not a partner in the Ritter Motor Company, he could benefit significantly from the existence of this company. After all, this automaker needed authorization to operate, critical resources for vehicle production, and many other things that his family could get involved in.

As such, he was also smiling amidst the dozens of people there.

Mabel was standing next to her husband, observing what her son-in-law intended to do that was drawing the attention of so many local experts.

But she was one of the few there with a neutral expression.

"Come on, my love. Smile a little!" Aiken commented to her. "If this venture of Lothur's works out, our family will take off, and we will no longer have to subject ourselves to the things we have gone through in the past decades."

"If he succeeds, of course..." She muttered, still suspicious that something related to carriages could solve her family's problems.

But even though she was pessimistic, this woman followed her husband while he and many others were already accompanying Lothur for a visit to this facility.

Lothur then took on the role of guide for these people. "Well, this main entrance, as you can see, is where our storage of ready-to-deliver vehicles will be located." He gestured, indicating that place that looked like a large parking lot in front of a square building they were walking to.

When they entered that building, those people were faced with over 400 workers inside the factory, individuals subdivided by their functions and uniforms, represented by five different colors.

Lothur then explained. "As you can see, the factory is already operating. In fact, the Ritter Motor Company's activities began 2 hours ago, with the first group to arrive here starting their work mainly in the carpentry and forging area."

The most time-consuming items to produce to create cars were precisely those related to the professions of carpenters and blacksmiths. Therefore, even without the certainty that the models designed by Lothur would work, the areas of the factory related to these two professions were already in full operation.

Lothur and his staff needed items to test and make mistakes and then develop products of acceptable quality.

Hence, he presented this place in operation to his associates and guests.

"In this area, we will produce the wooden parts that will go on our cars..." He said as he passed through an area where the flow of employees was greater. "Further ahead, you will find the forge, where the heart of my vehicles will be developed." He pointed to that area as he walked to such a place.

Thus, Lothur would introduce every part of this place to those dozens of people, showing the basics but what was necessary for these people to understand how serious this business was.
