With the technical help of Bart, the construction of the railroad tracks went smoothly and steadily.

As for the route choice, there were a total of six cities, large and small, in total. The communication between these cities would be completely carried out by the governor’s mansion.

Alan once again became an idle person. Whether it was the clearing of the gray fog in the Abyss or the construction of the railroad tracks, all of them were completed by the most suitable persons.

Only the promotion of the training system was known by everyone in Rock City as Alan’s work.

Everyone was sighing that Alan should have gone to the Magic Academy. Such academic achievements would only be achieved by old scholars. The residents of Rock City felt very regretful about this.

Alan himself was also very surprised. There were already quite a number of people cultivating in this way. Almost every day, there would be customers who would come to drink with him and tell him about the new cultivation system.

“Yo, good afternoon, Alan.”

“Good afternoon.”

“The new system that you’ve concluded is quite useful. Recently, I’ve been cultivating according to the six-dimensional attributes. I immediately know what I’m lacking in.”

“Is that so? As long as it’s useful to you!”

Alan usually didn’t know what to say when he met such a customer. After all, he was a person who couldn’t practice.

The current situation was equivalent to his product being directly put on the market before it had gone through quality inspection. When it had just been promoted, the effect was very good and there were many customers. What Alan needed to do now was to wait for the customer’s feedback.

That afternoon, after dealing with a customer who came to chat with him, Alan welcomed the person he missed the most.

“Shaman, your friends are here?” Alan asked in surprise.

Last time when Bart came with his dwarven friends, Alan had been wondering why Shaman didn’t come with him.

He didn’t expect that he would come with his clansmen today.

“Yes, Alan, let me introduce you. This is Saber, and this is Sager.”

Shaman first pointed at the goblin on the left who was much taller than him, then pointed at the goblin on the right who was as tall as him and introduced him.

“They’re my cousins. They’re twins.”

Shaman’s two younger siblings were rather shy. They remained silent for a long time, unable to speak.

On the way to the tavern, Saber and his younger brother, Sager, had heard many things about Alan from their cousins. They had also seen the streetlights and the fog cannon cars that passed by them, everyone knew that this human youth was even more creative than the goblins.

They had long since developed a trace of admiration for Alan.

“Hello, Saber and Sager, what would you like to drink? In order to welcome your arrival, the first glass of wine is on me!”

Alan had long wanted more goblins to come. In terms of creativity, the goblins were the best.

“Why aren’t you thanking Alan?”

Shaman seemed to be very dissatisfied with the shyness of his two younger brothers. He even let Alan greet them first.

“Thank… Thank you, Mr. Alan.”

Saber, who was on the left, finally thanked Alan in a low voice after being despised by his older brother.

“Shaman, you don’t have to be so strict. Saber and Sager, don’t be nervous. We are all friends. Just get along with each other.”

Alan could see that the two of them were afraid of Shaman to different degrees. Perhaps it was because they respected him too much that they didn’t know how to get along with each other?

After all, Shaman was known as the most creative person in the history of the entire goblin tribe. He had the future of the tribe on his shoulders.

It was normal for the young people in the tribe to worship him.

Alan guided the three of them to take a seat at the bar and asked them if they wanted to try the cocktails he made.

…

“Have you been studying railway tracks with Bart recently?”

Alan pushed three cocktails of different flavors in front of each of them and started chatting casually with Shaman.

“No, as long as the railway solves the material problem of each component, it will be very simple. Bart and the others are the best in terms of materials and forging.”

“I am studying the blueprint of the handcar. That blueprint gave me some inspiration. I have a new idea.”

Shaman spoke out his own idea. He also had the intention to discuss some problems with Alan.

“Hey, you already improve it?”

Alan was surprised. This was the first time the concept of a handcar had appeared on this land. He did not expect Shaman to be able to improve it already!

“There are some ideas, but there are still many practical problems that need to be solved.”

“Alan, what do you think I should do to increase the power of the handcar? Other than replacing it with someone stronger?”

Alan knew that Shaman’s question had already led him to the next stage.

It was the steam engine that Alan had once mentioned, the working principle of the internal combustion engine. The knowledge involved was what Hailar lacked the most, the last corner of the knowledge chain.

“At this stage, the power source of the continent has magic power and electricity, but there are actually many types of energy that can be used as a power source. For example, steam.”

Alan said slowly, but if he wanted to explain the principle of the steam engine, he had to convert the energy of the steam into the reciprocating power of mechanical work.

Without the blueprint of the steam engine in his hands, Alan’s title would not be of any use. He could not explain it clearly with just his own knowledge.

When Alan mentioned that steam could also be used as a power source, Shaman was ready to take notes.

However, after thinking for a long time, Alan changed the topic.

“The matter of the steam engine is more complicated. Shaman, why don’t you combine the handcar with magic power to improve it first?”

Alan smiled awkwardly. He could not explain it in a short time.

Shaman pondered for a moment and asked again.

“Alan, is this steam engine related to the brand-new subject you mentioned?”

When he mentioned the new subject last time, he had originally wanted Alan to summarize the subject, but Alan had been unusually busy recently, so he did not have enough time to do this for the time being.

“Uh, this involves another brand-new subject. It’s not the same subject as the last time.”

After Alan finished speaking, Shaman’s expression became even more shocked.

Even Saber and Sager, who had been sitting silently by the side, were also shocked.

Two new subjects!?

Alan actually mastered two new subjects!?

The atmosphere around the bar fell silent after Alan’s last sentence.

“Uh, Shaman?”

Alan looked at the three goblins who had fallen into his world and called out tentatively.

Hearing his call, Shaman turned his dull gaze to Alan.

“Can you slow down the progress of that new subject?”

“I still have two special blueprints in my hands. I wonder if your brothers are interested in trying to make them?”

Alan’s words made Saber and Sager’s eyes light up. They did not expect Alan to be willing to entrust them with such an important task. A brand-new blueprint. They wondered if it was as interesting as the one given to their cousins.

Seeing their expectant eyes, Alan was relieved.

“Can you give them such an important blueprint? My two younger brothers aren’t mature enough…”

Shaman’s tone was full of worry and distrust.

Saber and Sager wanted to refute Shaman’s words, but they found that what he said was the truth and couldn’t refute him at all.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just two large toys. Perhaps a child’s mind is more suitable for making such a device.”

“Wait, I’ll go upstairs and get the blueprints.”

Without waiting for them to agree, Alan went upstairs to get the blueprints.

Unlike Shaman’s worry, Alan felt that he could finally give out all the blueprints in his hands. He had finally made suitable arrangements for the rewards from the previous mission..
