Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Need for a humidifier?

Once Blake returned, he made his way into his forgemastery room beside his reading table. Using the fire element, Blake turned on the furnace and began melting the gold and silver ingot.

While the metals were melting, Blake made his way to the molding device. All he had to do was input the design and measurement for the different components of the humidifier, then the molding device would take its shape.

Once the metals had completely melted, Blake poured them into the mold and after making sure that nothing was wrong, he left it to cool.

He returned to his room and began practicing drawing the arrays from his memories being replayed by the system.

Blake had decided to use the integration method to integrate 5 arrays into his yet-to-be-chosen power source.

The arrays included wind, water, light, switch, and periodic arrays. The wind and water arrays were to propagate the fragrance of the essential oil and humidify the air, the periodic array was to regulate its active time, the lights were to add to its elegance, and the switch array was to activate and deactivate the humidifier or a particular array.

At first, Blake didn’t have any plans of adding lights, but after Luciano had told him about the existence of patents on infinite realm, he began having ideas of commercializing the humidifier.

.....

Blake already knew the water and wind array. So he first started with the light, before going for the periodic arrays.

“That should be enough practice.”

With his level of skills and simplicity, it took Blake only a few minutes to learn the light arrays and 5 periodic arrays.

“Just one more time.” Having no plans of wasting any beast crystal, Blake wanted to make sure he had truly mastered the arrays.

By the time he was done learning the arrays, the molding device was already done cooling the humidifier. So Blake went back into his forgemastery room and took out the 9-inch tall golden egg that had a flat base, and began polishing the exterior.

“You wouldn’t even know the difference.”

After polishing, Blake was left with a seamless lustering oval egg that put a grin on his face.

[Cheap-stake.] The system shook its head.

Once the exterior was complete, Blake began polishing the individual components before screwing open one half of the egg-shaped humidifier.

To maximize the perfect look of a golden egg, Blake chose a screwing motion that completely hide the line at the center of the humidifier.

The lower section had a stand to keep the power source in place, and above it was a metal base that had multiple holes, 2 metal pipes, and a rod that held the essential oil’s chamber at its center.

The wind and water vapor produced from the lower chamber would pass through the pipes to the top of the oil chamber where it would carry the fragrance out of the humidifier.

(AN: For those that don’t know, an essential oil is volatile at room temperature.)

“Time for the most important part.”

After he was done polishing the humidifier’s interior and components, it was time to integrate the arrays into the power source.

Blake was using an elite rank beast core as its power source, and this was only because he wanted it to last before he change it.

“A mistake would be costly. Literally... So no room for errors.” Blake said as he focused on the task at hand.

On starting the integration process, the elite rank beast core began floating as hundreds of symbols began forming around it. As seconds went by, each array began arranging itself in a circular line as they rotated around the beast core.

After a few minutes, Blake was done simultaneously forming the arrays and they had begun shrinking.

Once they came in contact with the beast core, they began fusing with it causing a little outburst of energy.

“Done.”

This wasn’t Blake’s first time using the integration method so he was neither surprised nor excited, rather he was thankful that the elite rank beast core hadn’t gone to waste.

He placed the elite rank beast core in its stand, before screwing in the metal base above and pouring in the lavender essential oil in the oil chamber.

“Let’s see how it turned out.” Blake screwed on the top half and used his mana to switch on the humidifier.

The egg-shaped humidifier lit up with a golden color as a thin ray of light shot out of the small hole at the top alongside the humid fragrance of lavender.

[This is way better than you described.] The system said as it was impressed by Blake’s construction.

“Yup.”

Blake said with a proud smile plastered on his face as he switched off the lights and stared at the golden egg that continuously spewed out golden stars.

After close to 20 minutes of admiring his creation, Blake snapped out of it and began testing the periodic arrays.

“Do you think people would want to buy this?” Blake asked the system for its opinion after he had made sure everything was working.

[I have no clue if this already exists, but if the quality of the materials is increased and certain things are added, then definitely a lot of people would buy it.] The system gave its honest opinion.

“All I need to do now is carry out some investigation.” Blake pondered where to start.

Due to his poor background, Blake had read quite a lot of books about wealth creation. He knew that 3 very important things about production were knowing if the market had a need or want for the product, competitors, and the timing of the product.

Since this wasn’t a product that wasn’t constricted by timing, Blake’s major issue if he chose to commercialize it was knowing if they were products like this already in the market and if there was a demand for them.

...

After Launch Blake approached Tessie.

“Can you take me to your room?” Blake said.

“M..M...My room?” Tessie had to ask because she could swear that her ears were playing tricks on her.

“Yes... Your room.” Blake confirmed his word, causing Tessie’s face to turn beet red.

[What the hell is wrong with you?!!!] The system screamed in Blake’s mind as it tried to let out its frustration. If only it had hands they would have been strangling Blake by now.

‘What?’ Blake asked in a confused tone.

[Who the f*ck walks up to a girl and tells her to take them to her room?!] The system screamed.

“Fo... for wh.. what?” Tessie had to muster all of her willpower just to speak.

“I just want to gather data for the little project I am working on.” Blake said calming Tessie a little bit.

“You okay?” Blake couldn’t help but ask because Tessie who had her face glued to the ground seemed to have frozen.

“Ye... Yes!” Tessie said as she snapped out of her reverie.

“So can you take me to your room?” Blake asked once again.

“Yes.” Tessie nodded.

The walk to her room was awkward and quiet, but Blake was having a full-blown argument with the system.

[Why do I have a feeling that you are doing this on purpose to get to me?] The system asked.

‘Doing what?’

[Don’t play dumb with me boy!] The system was enraged at Blake acting oblivious.

‘I have no clue what you are talking about.’ Blake said while keeping a straight face.

When they got to the room, Tessie used her imprint on the lock to open the door.

“I love your decorations.” Blake said as he walked into the room.

The main color theme of her room was mint green, and unlike Blake that made use of everything given by the school, Tessie had almost everything customized. Right from the bed itself right to the reading table were all different.

“Thank you.” Tessie said with her face still planted on the floor.

Blake’s main focus was the room’s fragrance, and after taking in a deep breath he found out that her room was quite lacking in that department, especially for a noble.

Best

‘The fragrance isn’t distinct. If it is the same for other nobles then there is a need for the humidifier.’ Blake thought.
