With the automated assembly line centered around Reiner, the soap orders were finally completed before the end of the month.

"Master Harvey, although this is our first cooperation, I think both of us have shown enough sincerity."

George Santos, the vice president of the Dragonstone Chamber of Commerce, who had chubby cheeks and a slightly swollen body, shook Harvey's hands enthusiastically and complimented him repeatedly.

Harvey smiled reservedly and stood side by side with him in the open space outside the laboratory manor, watching the Chamber of Commerce's convoy busy moving boxes of goods.

Vice President George rubbed his fat hands subconsciously and laughed, "Master Harvey, the business of selling production equipment and formulas..."

Harvey waved his hand nonchalantly, "I have already dismantled and packed the production equipment. You can just arrange for someone to move and load it onto the truck later."

What was agreed upon with the Dragonstone Chamber of Commerce at the beginning was that Harvey would be responsible for producing the first batch of goods, and the subsequent production machines and formulas would be handed over to the Chamber of Commerce free of charge.

The Chamber of Commerce will then build a new workshop in a city that is more convenient for purchasing raw materials and selling goods, and Harvey will own a 10% stake.

Harvey took the 2,000-pound bank draft handed over by George and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

Jackdaw Town is located in a remote area, and purchasing raw materials is not only costly, but the transportation of goods is also difficult.

Of course, when it comes to professional matters, we need to seek professional partners, and Longshi Chamber of Commerce is an excellent partner.

"By the way, President George, did you bring the batch of alchemical instruments and materials that I ordered before with you this time?" Harvey is currently most concerned about his new project.

George laughed and said, "The equipment produced by the Alchemy Exploration Society is too heavy, so the caravan has to be divided into two teams for transportation. It will arrive at Jackdaw Town as early as tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he looked around at the desolate scene surrounding the laboratory estate and curled his lips imperceptibly.

"Master Harvey, I will stay at the hotel in town tonight. I will send someone to deliver the contract to you tomorrow morning after the equipment is delivered."

Harvey had no intention of trying to keep the other party in his manor. No matter how much effort he put in on the surface, ordinary people's fear and disgust towards the necromancer were unavoidable.

After watching George and the convoy carrying the goods slowly leave towards the town, Reiner poked his head out of the manor.

"Sir, those machines...are they just going to be moved away like that?" Reiner's words were filled with pain. He really liked those cold production equipment that were filled with the beauty of complex metal structures.

Harvey patted Reiner on the shoulder and consoled him with a smile, "Don't be reluctant to part with those makeshift pieces of junk, Reiner."

"New alchemical equipment will be delivered tomorrow. It's something you've never seen before. It's truly high-tech."

The soul fire in Reiner's skull eye sockets flickered in confusion, and he stammered, "High...tech?"

…

The next day, just after dawn, a long convoy appeared on the tree-lined path outside the manor.

After arriving at the manor, the workers began to busy themselves with unloading, moving crates of various sizes to the workshop that had long been emptied.

"It looks like I'll have to work overtime to assemble the equipment myself tonight. I really don't want to wait even a moment longer."

Harvey stood by, watching sleepily as the carts carrying goods moved in and out, leaving deep tracks in the garden mud.

After signing the magic contract that was delivered at the same time, the team manager directed the team to leave the manor quickly without stopping.

It seemed as if if they walked a little slower, zombies would run out of the manor and eat them.

After everyone had left, Reiner ran into the workshop and helped Harvey pry open the crates and check the brass metal instruments inside.

"Wow, this is simply... simply, I have never seen this before." Reiner's bony palm gently stroked the smooth surface of the instrument, exclaiming incoherently.

"These are the high-end equipment of the Alchemy Exploration Society. We have to assemble them carefully." Harvey was equally excited.

With this set of equipment, Harvey will no longer have to charge Reiner's magic batteries one by one every day. Instead, he can use the alchemical energy matrix to directly plug in Reiner and charge him.

More importantly, this set of equipment is also the most important component of Harvey's "Magic Internet" - the server.

Since improving the spell messenger's magic network shuttle ability, Harvey discovered that the signal transmission distance of the "magic computer" he assembled was limited. To achieve instantaneous reception, the range could only be locked within Jackdaw Town and its surrounding areas.

But with this energy-gathering matrix, it is equivalent to having a magic version of a super-strong signal base station. All "computers" sending and receiving messages can be connected to the matrix through the magic network, and then through this super repeater, ultra-long-distance message forwarding can be achieved.

You should know that this kind of energy matrix was used to power continental-level teleportation arrays in the past.

If it weren't for the network of connections of Ash, the "second-generation mage" sponsor, a powerless junior mage like Harvey wouldn't be able to buy this thing.

Although it is an old model that has been eliminated, its energy-gathering effect is not compromised.

Thinking of this, Harvey slapped his head and dug out a unique long-handled metal instrument from the mountain of crates.

"I almost forgot, Reiner, I also brought you a set of tools, your new accessories."

"Tools? Sir, my fingers are more flexible than the most expensive repair tools. Even if a drop of water condenses on my fingertips, it won't tremble at all."

Although Reiner grumbled, he couldn't help but get closer to observe the new accessories.

"What is this? A hollow short spear? My Lord, is this the weapon I am to be equipped with?"

Ever since Reiner discovered that he possessed the powerful strength to turn solid pebbles into powder with just a slight grip.

I have always wanted to take charge of the defense of the manor and provide Harvey's personal security.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!

Unfortunately, Jackdaw Town has a good security situation, and ordinary villains and thieves would not dare to target spellcasters, which makes Reiner feel that his skills are useless.

Harvey didn't explain. He first used the Wizard's Hand to pick up the tool and installed the long-handled instrument as a pendant on the outside of Reiner's right arm.

"This isn't a weapon. This is a... welding, uh, tool used to assemble these instruments."

Harvey paused, and decided to give it a new name that would please Reiner. "It's called, Scorching Ray!"

"Enchanted weapons? Great! Thank you, sir!" Reiner waved his arms and quickly adapted to the new accessories.

Simply activating the inscription on the alchemical prosthetic arm will allow the tip of the accessory to release a high-temperature, white-hot flame, which can be used for welding equipment.

Of course, if Reiner wants to use it as a weapon, that's not impossible.

It just consumes more energy of the magic stone.

…

The two worked until midnight before they finally managed to assemble this complex and heavy alchemical equipment.

As Harvey engraved the inscription on the base of the instrument, a dark red light slowly lit up under the drive of the magic stone.

Harvey actually felt the satisfaction of a novice assembling a desktop computer for the first time and successfully turning it on.

Reiner stood in front of the huge instrument in a daze, looking up at the brass column standing in the middle of the room, unable to speak.

The entire instrument is five meters high, and the top almost touches the ceiling of the workshop.

Even Reiner's alchemical cyborg body, which is over two meters tall, had to look up when standing in front of it.

Harvey spent a lot of money to buy this set of alchemical equipment. He even advanced the dividends from his shares in the soap factory.

Three years of dividend income equals 15,000 gold pounds!

This means that even if the soap factory is managed by the Chamber of Commerce, sales will continue to grow.

No matter how much profit there is in the next three years, Harvey will not get a penny of dividends, which is a pure loss-making business.

At present, apart from the approximately 3,000 gold pounds of investment from the early financiers that has not yet been repaid, Harvey's deposit balance is only 2,000 gold pounds from the goods delivered yesterday, and the remaining initial start-up capital of approximately 300 gold pounds.

Although the financial sponsors, led by Ash, have never paid much attention to this small amount of money invested casually, Harvey still feels quite stressed.

I hope that this high investment can recover the cost as soon as possible and create a steady stream of income for myself.

Harvey sighed secretly
