It had nothing to do with Linus who he was looking for with the train, and it also had nothing to do with him what the consequences would be.
Although the strength of the third level of transcendence is not enough to run rampant in the demon world, it is enough to protect oneself, and he does not believe that other disciplines that have been suppressed for thousands of years will give up this opportunity.
One that allows one's discipline to escape from its second-rate status and allows one's skills to show their due charm. As long as there is an opportunity, those masters who have been suppressed for a long time will be able to associate many things with glory and status.
And this is what Lin Xingchen needs, he just needs to make a start, then those people will need him if they want to know more about the content! At that time, even if President Edmund suppresses him, it depends on whether Linus and others are willing!
After returning to the hotel, Lin Xingchen stayed indoors and did not go out. Less than two days after he left, Linus came directly to his yard.
"Master, it's very rude of you to come in without saying hello!" When he saw Linus, he knew that his mission was accomplished.
"Don't talk nonsense and follow me to the Forging Association. Everyone wants to see you!" As he said that, he was about to reach out to grab Lin Xingchen.
"No, no, no... I can walk by myself!" Dodging the hand extended by Linus, Lin Xingchen put his hand on his shoulder and teleported directly to the Forging Association.
The appearance of the two figures scared many people, but when they saw Linus, everyone just thought that Linus was bringing people here.
Linus didn't want to explain too much to everyone: "This is the one who made everyone anxious. If you have any questions, just ask him directly!"
"Master Xingchen, I am the vice president of the Magic Circle Association. I would like to ask you a question. According to what you said, how should we push such a large vehicle?
Moreover, this vehicle is carrying a million kilograms of cargo. How much magical power output is needed to accomplish this!"
"The fact that you have such a question means that you have thought about it carefully. I hope you will be satisfied with my answer.
The train is not powered directly by magic, but by magic that continuously condenses water and fire elements, and then uses the steam in the water element to propel the train. So as long as the magic array and the train are designed reasonably, it is easy to propel it."
"Master Xingchen, I am the deputy of President Linus of the Forging Association. The steel used to cast the train and the rails it runs on is not a problem, but how to forge a 25-meter-long rail without any connection marks? I have been thinking about it for a long time and have no idea how to complete it."
"Master, you can't limit your thoughts to one thing. Casting rails must have its supporting technologies. Otherwise, I wouldn't use steel as the basis."
"I don't know who is responsible for smelting this part, so I will just tell you the answer.
I have the train and all its upstream and downstream technologies here. You don't need to worry about the technical matters. The reason I found you is that I want your help. I can't accomplish these things by myself.
So I need the personnel and technology of your association. To be honest, I have already built hundreds of trains in the territory of my main world.
That’s why I can come up with all these techniques. Please don’t worry or ask too many questions about some things. If you are willing to cooperate with me, you will definitely see and learn these things in the future!
I just want to ask everyone if you would do something that can change your status and make what you have learned shine!"
Of course they would not miss such an opportunity, otherwise they would not have gathered in the Forging Association to wait for him. They just wanted to test it out or wanted an excuse to feel at ease.
Lin Xingchen gave them this excuse and gave them a general idea of the most basic smelting technology, as well as the more advanced design concepts and technical direction of the finished product.
Knowing that there was a smooth road ahead and a bright future, these people could no longer hold back and nodded their heads in agreement to cooperate with Lin Xingchen.
The cooperation used the contract system to clearly define in writing what each party needs to pay and what they need to get. Of course, this is just an intention contract before the formal contract, but signing this means that the cooperation is basically successful.
The actual contract needs to be signed in Kalonya. At that time, Sophia, as the lord, will stamp it with the seal of the Kalonya lord, and other people who join or take the lead will also sign as responsible persons.
The next things were much simpler. During the exchange meeting, Lin Xingchen wandered around various associations. No matter where he went, he was welcomed by many people with his ability to know a little bit of everything.
Naturally, his original enthusiasm for the potion turned into a little cold, but Lin Xingchen was not angry about this change.
Wherever there are people, there will be conflicts. This is an eternal law. The reason why the Pharmacy Association is indifferent to me instead of ignoring me is because they cannot control themselves.
If they change to someone they can control, they will definitely find that the person who is most enthusiastic towards them is the one who will cheat them the most! Although Edmund was no longer so enthusiastic towards them at the potion exchange meeting, when Lin Xingchen took out ten bottles of life-extending potion as an exchange item.
He was the first one to propose the exchange, and he exchanged four bottles at once. If he hadn't had to consider other people in the Pharmacy Association, he might have taken the entire share.
Although everyone complained about Lin Xingchen not exchanging the formula, they could do nothing about it.
After all, whether it is some precious potions from the demon world or the main world, it is understandable that people are unwilling to give them out!
Through this seven-day pharmaceutical exchange meeting, Lin Xingchen discovered something very interesting.
That is, the higher the position in the association, the worse the level of potion making. The "worse" here refers to people who are at the master level.
Like a pharmacist named Barron, who is also a top-level pharmacist and his level is even higher than Atem.
But he doesn't even have a nominal position in the Pharmacy Association. There are many people like Barron in the association. Lin Xingchen asked Barron about this issue during private communication.
“Whether it’s potions, forging, or magic circles, the most important thing is to concentrate. Although I’m very dissatisfied with your distracted behavior, it’s just your personal choice and I have no right to interfere.
As for people like Edmund, I hope you will never join the association even as a figurehead, because that will only ruin you! The temptation of the God of Desire is not only for those lords, as long as you have desires in your heart, he will destroy you!" The old man complained a lot.
But his meaning was clear, that the association would render a good man useless.
An exchange meeting that lasted for twenty days was successfully completed. Before leaving, Linus and others repeatedly confirmed the time before letting him leave.
Everyone gained something in these twenty days, whether it was fame or fortune. Blake was brought into the venue by his master every day, and then wandered around various places for communication and practice, and he returned home with a lot of gains.
After returning to Kalonya, Sophia hurried over. Lin Xingchen showed her the contents of the letter of intent. She nodded in agreement without any extra words.
Since the boss didn't say anything, all that was left was to roll up his sleeves and get to work. However, this matter had little to do with him for the time being.
It will take at least two months for Linus and others to gather together, and by then we can celebrate the New Year after some negotiations.
The demon world has a good point, as its time calendar is consistent with the main world. These two months are the most leisurely time for him.
Blake didn’t know if it was because of his accumulated experience, but more than a month after he came back, he finally managed to prepare the Void Potion that his master had mentioned.
This also meant that he had truly reached the threshold of a master pharmacist, and Xia was so happy that he felt like he was floating in the air.
Although Lin Xingchen never asked about his disciples' private affairs, he was still happy to see some internal matters.
Girls in the demon world mature very early. A girl who was only eleven or twelve years old has reached the age of marriage in the blink of an eye. It is obvious that Xia has a special feeling for Blake.
It's just that Blake is as careless or slow to react when it comes to feelings as he is to the details of life.
He said this in front of the four people: A master is only responsible for teaching skills, not worrying about their love life.
This sentence made Jia very disappointed, but the girl's sadness came and went quickly, and after she sorted herself out, she was full of energy again.
What is coming will come faster than expected. It was expected to take two months, but Linus and his team arrived in only about fifty days.
Looking at the huge team, if Linus hadn't greeted them in advance, Lin Xingchen would have thought that someone was calling!
Sophia and Duru gave them the highest level of reception for their arrival. After some polite exchanges, Linus and others, who had been impatient for a long time, formally signed the contract with Kalonya.
Lin Xingchen, who is responsible for the main technology and design, holds 40% of the shares, while Kalonya, as the provider of materials, land, resources and manpower, holds 30% of the shares.
The remaining 30% was divided among the association representatives. Sophia dipped some ink on the ring on her index finger and pressed it on the special paper from the demon world.
As the representative jointly nominated by the association, Linus also pressed his thumb print. Looking at the eyes of the crowd, Lin Xingchen had to take out the seal ring that represented his identity and had not been used for a long time.
This ring, which represented the patriarch of the Star Clan and the lord of the Maple Leaf Territory, had a maple leaf with a four-pointed star pattern printed on it, and everyone present was plunged into a boiling sea.
