Struggle in the Steam Age

"Lawrence, suddenly a lot of people came to you at the door. Priest Carter asked me to tell you to go out and meet them." After opening the door, Lawrence found that standing at the door was Peter, a trainee priest with a nervous face.

"Looking for me? But I remember that I don't owe any money." Lawrence's first reaction was this when he heard that a group of people were looking for him. Because apart from owing money to others, he didn't think there would be anything that would make so many people come to him, an ordinary person like himself.

But after thinking about it, Lawrence felt that so many people looking for him should have nothing to do with money. After all, he was just a poor man before, and even if he really owed money, he didn't need others to use such a big force to ask for it.

"By the way, did Priest Carter tell you what those people came to see me for?" After thinking for a few seconds, Lawrence realized that he should ask Peter, the trainee priest who called him, what happened outside.

"No, Priest Carter just asked those people to wait at the door, and then asked me to come and tell you to go out and meet them." Peter shook his head, with a look of chagrin on his face, but soon he looked up at Lawrence. "But I saw a smile on Priest Carter's face, so I think it must be a good thing."

Filled with apprehension, Lawrence followed Peter to the door of the church, and sure enough, he saw a large group of people standing in the square in front of the church talking to Priest Carter.

"Ha, Lawrence, I thought you were out, but I didn't expect you to be in the church. This is really great." After seeing Lawrence walking over, Priest Carter waved for Lawrence to stand by his side and then said He said, "They are all journalists who came here specially to find you."

"Looking for me?" Lawrence pointed at himself with a puzzled look on his face. He knew that he had indeed killed several evil monsters recently, but as news, it was at best a palm-sized text message at the end of the newspaper. It is far from the point where a group of reporters come to interview.

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Priest Carter nodded, and then he looked at the confused Lawrence. "Don't you know? The article you wrote earlier, "On the Causes of Infection and the Ways to Stop Infection", was published in this month's "Federal Medical Journal", and it was published as a recommended article on the cover of."

"So that's how it is." Lawrence suddenly realized. After all, he was busy picking up Safiel after submitting the manuscript, and he went through a lot of things afterwards so that he didn't relax until now. So even though it was less than a week since the publication of this paper, he couldn't think of it all at once.

"This is Mr. Lawrence August, who is also the author of that article. You can ask him any questions you have." After explaining the situation clearly, Priest Carter took a step back and introduced Lawrence to the reporters. them.

"Mr. Lawrence, I'm a reporter from the Eagle Fort Business News, please..." "Why are you robbing us of such a small newspaper? Mr. Lawrence, this is the "Federal Daily News"..." "I'm Britton The reporter of "The Lancet", may I ask..." After confirming Lawrence's identity, the group of reporters immediately surrounded him with small notebooks and pens, and then presented to him the questions they had prepared. question.

"Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet." Surrounded by this group of reporters, Lawrence felt like he was surrounded by a swarm of buzzing bees. So he stretched his hands over his head and shouted to everyone. "In this way, if possible, those who want to ask me a question, please raise your hand, and then I will answer the question of whoever I click on. Otherwise, I can't do anything like this."

The reporters also felt that the mess was really out of place, so they quickly quieted down, and then raised their right hands in unison.

"Okay, it's you." After everyone was quiet, Lawrence pointed to a man wearing a peaked cap and a plaid jacket and asked. Lawrence noticed that the sign hanging on his chest proved that he was the mainstream media of the White Eagle Federation. One of the "Federal Daily" reporters. "Sir, you can ask me questions now."

"Thank you! I am a reporter from the "Bianlian Daily". May I ask why you conducted research in this area and made this paper?" The young reporter was taken aback after being named, and then asked immediately.

"Because I'm a medical student, when I was in school, I found that the cause of the highest mortality rate in surgery is not bleeding or anything else but infection. Besides, many people die every year due to infection. Or being forced to lose a part of my body. So I hope to change this situation, so I..."

Based on some memories from his previous life, Lawrence quickly put together a speech that sounded very good. Obviously, the journalists in front of him who have not experienced the baptism of the information age were all taken aback by his short speech. When he finished his little speech, he found that all the reporters were holding pens and recording something in small notebooks.

After the recording of the speech was over, several other journalists followed up with other questions. Lawrence also answered one by one. But when the important questions were over and the group of boring reporters started gossiping about his private life. Lawrence ended the interview with the help of Priest Carter.

"Very good, Lambert will be happy for you. You must know that he has wanted to publish articles in this level of magazines all his life, but in the end he only published a few small articles in some ordinary magazines." Together When walking back, Priest Carter patted Lawrence on the shoulder and said happily. "By the way, have you written to your father with the good news?"

"I haven't written it yet." Lawrence subconsciously scratched his head. "Before I just wrote a letter and told him that I had sent an article for submission."

"Then why don't you just tell him that your paper is going to be published in the "Federal Medical Journal"? I remember that I told you about it when you came to me with this article last time." Priest Carter asked a little puzzled. He felt that if it was him, he would announce the good news to his family immediately.

"I just think it's better not to say something until you're sure, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if something goes wrong." Lawrence said with a smile. "So just to be on the safe side, I decided to wait until everything was confirmed before writing to my father."

"You, you." Priest Carter shook his head with a smile. "To be honest, you're only 20 years old. So it's better to show off like a young man. There's no need to be so cautious in doing things like people my age."

After bidding farewell to Priest Carter, the first thing Lawrence did when he returned to his room was to write a letter to his adoptive father to announce the good news. When he finished writing the letter, put a stamp on it, and then put it in the designated place in the corridor to wait for the special staff to go to the post office to deliver the letter tomorrow. Then he opened the book and learned the alchemy knowledge.

According to the previous plan, Lawrence decided to learn how to make other props. If all goes well, when the house is ready to move in, the magic props promised to Safir and Fatina will be made.
