Chapter 17 Adventure

Mentis walked out the door of his shop holding a glass of chilled blueberry-flavored Moon Shadow drink that had just been taken out of the magic freezer.

As soon as he walked out, the bright sunlight poured down, instantly making his body, which had been frozen and comfortable under the magic air conditioner, break out in hot sweat.

"This damn weather..." Mentis couldn't help muttering, walked quickly a few steps, came to the shade of the trees beside the road, and walked along another open shop not far from the rows of green shades.

The midday sun was shining brightly, and the temperature was extremely high. At this time, there was no one on the road. Except for the constant chirping of cicadas from the trees beside the road, this usually very lively street was surprisingly quiet at this time.

It wasn't until Mentis walked to the door of the shop at his destination that he heard the sound of clanging from inside.

Mentis stepped into the door of the store, glanced inside, shook his head, and said loudly: "I said Ren, it's fine if you don't lie down and take a nap at noon, why? Going to fuck these old guys again?"

The owner of the shop, Ryan, who heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was Mentis. He laughed, put down the red soldering iron in his hand, and threw it into the solution for cold soaking. A cloud of strong steam burst out immediately, filling the room.

Both Ryan and Mentis were blacksmiths in Karamay before, and they made a living making iron all their lives.

Originally, their life should continue like this, but it was thought of the emergence of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce a few years ago, and the magic machine tool replaced almost all the jobs in the blacksmith shop, making the two of them almost unemployed.

Fortunately, both of them are flexible minded people. After learning that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has implemented a small chamber of commerce support plan in Bangta City. He took the initiative to find the door. Received the support of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Purchased several magic machine tools from Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and successfully opened these two small parts processing factories in Karamay City.

After several years of development, their two parts processing factories have become the top magic machinery parts suppliers in Karamay City, almost controlling more than 40% of the parts processing industry market in Karamay City.

Now, compared to when they were sticking to the blacksmith shop, not only their income has been increased by hundreds of times, but their own work is also much easier than before.

The situation of people like Ryan working hard to forge iron at noon has long existed only in their long-term memory.

So the two not only feel any dissatisfaction with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for crushing their smithy business. On the contrary, I am very grateful to Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm bored, I just want to try to see if my craftsmanship has deteriorated." Ryan opened the magic freezer next to him, took out a bottle of cold malt wine from it, and gestured to Mentis.

Mentis waved his hand and raised the cold drink in his hand.

Ryan knew the habits of his old friend, so he didn't say much. After closing the door of the magic freezer, he picked up the remote control placed on it, and pressed it casually, and the magic air conditioner hanging on the wall immediately made a light ding. A cool breeze blew out from it, and it didn't take long to reduce the room that was filled with heat waves because of his blacksmithing just now to a comfortable and cool environment.

Mentis looked up at the magic air conditioner hanging on the wall. Shaking his head and sighing: "Your Xinfei brand magic air conditioner is much better. The cooling effect of the Amphora magic air conditioner in my shop is not as good as yours."

"Who told you not to listen to my advice and insist on buying this kind of amphora magic air conditioner. It's cheap, but it's not useful, so why buy it." Ryan snorted softly.

"It's not that it's completely useless, it's just that it's not as easy to use as the Xinfei magic air conditioner." Mentis smiled wryly. "I bought it at the beginning because the whole shell of the Amphora magic air conditioner was made in our shop, and I thought it would be good if I could support it."

"Cut, I don't care so much about the things I use. Our store has also taken orders for the base of the magic kettle from the Zons Chamber of Commerce during this period, but do you see that I have a magic kettle from the Zons Chamber of Commerce at home? ?”

"You guys are fanatical supporters of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, don't you think I don't know?" Mentis gave Ryan a blank look, then hesitated a little, sat up a little bit, and moved closer to Ryan. "I said Ryan, you support the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so much. When the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce called on other chambers of commerce to invest in the Marlow Empire, why didn't you go with it?"

Ryan looked at Mentis with a look of surprise: "Are you kidding? Didn't you look at the guys who followed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before? The weakest among them are countless times stronger than us small businessmen .What am I going to do? Eat ashes?"

"Cough...that's not what I meant. It's just..." Mentis glanced outside the door and lowered his voice slightly. "This time, Her Majesty the Queen and the Kingdom Council jointly issued a statement, saying that they will carry out more in-depth cooperation with Marquis Southgate in the Marlow Empire, and call on the major chambers of commerce in the Kingdom of Lampari to seize this opportunity and go to Marlow Are you interested in investing in the empire?"

"Are you crazy?" Ryan reached out and touched Mentis' forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about if you don't have a fever? Her Majesty the Queen and the Kingdom Council are calling for those big chambers of commerce. What do we have to do with small characters like us who can only make some accessories?"

Mentis pushed Ryan's hand away angrily, and scolded: "I'm not crazy! Although we are just small players, it has nothing to do with investing in the Marlow Empire. Didn't you read what the "Lampari Weekly" said? ?The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the first batch of past Chambers of Commerce have picked up the prototype of the production base on the private territory of Marquis Southgate. As long as we go there, we will be able to start production soon, which is not as difficult as you think."

Ryan froze for a moment, frowning and looked at Mentis for a while.

"are you serious?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, I won't be at home to take a comfortable nap at noon, so what are you doing here?"

"this……"

Seeing that Mentis was indeed very serious, Ryan put down the wine bottle in his hand and began to think silently.

After a while, he nodded lightly: "Mentis, I admit that this is a very good idea. But don't you think it's too risky? We are not familiar with that place, so if any accident occurs It's hard to deal with. And let's not say that compared with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is infinitely weaker than any previous Chamber of Commerce, what can we do?"

"Adventure?" Mentis let out a sneer from his nostrils. "Ryan, have you guys lived a stable life for a few years, and your whole person has become sluggish? In terms of risk, wasn't it risky enough when we went to Bangta City to find the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? But look at us now How are you doing? Let me tell you, President Xu of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is right at all, the world will continue to undergo drastic changes in the future, and if you don’t learn to take risks, you can only be eliminated!”

Ryan was silent.

Although he and Mentis have been old friends for many years, their personalities are completely different.

Mentis has an extroverted personality, willing to bravely try new things, and likes to take risks, while he has a calm personality and is more willing to steadily follow the existing path.

Before the two found the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and hoped to join the small chamber of commerce support plan, it was also Mentis who encouraged him.

Now Mentis has found him to invest in the Marlow Empire, which in his view is also a great adventure.

But in his heart, he felt that this was indeed a very good idea.

Compared with the Lampari Kingdom, the Maro Empire is much larger, and both the market and the opportunities are naturally far beyond. If you can seize the opportunity, the future development prospects are far stronger than staying in the small city of Karamay. times.

Seeing the change of expression on Ryan's face, Mentis knew that he was already a little moved, so he immediately tried harder to persuade him.

"You see, the first batch of chambers of commerce that entered the Maro Empire with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were either comprehensive chambers of commerce, or specialized chambers of commerce like the Cantona chamber of commerce that specialized in farmland magic mechanical farming, involving spare parts The United Irish Chamber of Commerce is the only one that processes it. You don’t think that the Irish United Chamber of Commerce alone can provide enough parts for so many chambers of commerce, do you? Is it reasonable?"

"Well..." Ryan nodded involuntarily. "Then what do you mean... now that we go there, we can provide parts processing for those chambers of commerce that the Irish United Chamber of Commerce can't satisfy? But there are not many types of parts that we can process now..."

"This is not a big problem. As long as we can take a step ahead, we will be able to take the lead. Those magic machinery guilds are used to the parts we provide, and they will not buy parts from other guilds. Besides, we do It’s not bad, didn’t the engineers of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also give us a secondary standard assessment for the parts we process.”

"Well...let me think..." Ryan lowered his head, lost in thought again.

Mentis fell silent, looking at him expectantly.

Ryan's steady and prudent personality is a very good complement to him, and the two have overcome many difficulties in cooperation over the years.

The decision to go to the Maro Empire this time is also an extremely risky decision for Mentis, and he very much hopes that Ryan can go with him.

In addition to wanting to be accompanied by old friends, it is also because Ryan can help him solve many problems.

While Mentis was patiently waiting for Ryan to make a decision, there was a sudden sound of brakes outside the door.

Both of them were startled, and looked out the door at the same time.

If they heard correctly, the sound should be the sudden braking of the magic car, which was completely different from the magic freight locomotive they were used to hearing.

And those who can take the magic car, even in the Lampari Kingdom where the magic car has been rolled out on a large scale, are definitely not ordinary people.

It's just that at noon, who would come here suddenly?

A thin figure with a smile walked into the door to meet the eyes of the two.

His eyes swept across the faces of the two, and he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I am the vice president of the Irish United Chamber of Commerce, Kovacs, who is the president of Ryan?"

Mentis and Ryan looked at each other. (To be continued..)
