When Lauriece Bass and a large group of people walked into the steam mill on the banks of Willow River, his housekeeper Perris was already waiting with two serfs. The steam engine that was dismantled by Gastens was not loaded back and was still placed in place, making the wide mill a little crowded. Gabriel, a steam expert from Johor Bahru, saw this scene and realized that someone had snatched his work first. Although he looked down on the 90 kroner repair fee, he would not like others to snatch his business.

"Mr. Bath, I see that you have already hired a maintenance expert, right?"

While speaking, Gabriel walked into neatly arranged machine parts and checked left and right. Influenced by his experience on Earth, Gabriel classified all parts according to different functions and parts while dismantling the steam engine, and looked orderly. Gabriel walked around the pile of parts, looked at Gastens, and returned to Bass.

"I see that the maintenance master you hired is very serious and meticulous. I wonder if I have the honor to meet him?"

In fact, on the way to come, Gabriel had heard Jelinna, who was traveling with her, talk about a serf who was arrogant and wanted to repair the steam engine. This kind of thing might sound like a possibility, but for Gabriel, who graduated from the Steam Power University of Roswell, it was almost a fantasy. Steam power system is the most promising and the most profound discipline in the post-magic era. How could a serf who can't read a big word to master?

"There is no other master? It's a small serf under me. Because I was worried that I would sell it to the Johor Bahru mine, I brag that it could be repaired. I asked me to tell you, he could put these things back, which is already considered awesome. How could he repair the steam engine? If I really think he can repair it, how could he invite you to come?"

The landlord Laurie Es Bass of Willow Town was smiling and explaining. Gastens heard it and curled his lips secretly. It was because the Gabriel asked for too high that Old Bass wanted to save money and wanted to do it with a try. Now that the main owner is here, the stingy guy immediately changed his words, and he really has no moral integrity.

"Little serf? Can you repair the steam engine?"

Gabriel said and laughed. He looked at Gastens and Cheka and asked, "Who of you two said you can repair the steam engine?"

Gastens and Chika looked at each other and stood up.

"Sir, it's me."

"Do you know the model of this steam engine?"

"Don't know, but I know how it works."

Gastens was a little helpless. He knew the principles and development history of the steam engine. He had a steam engine theory that was at least one hundred years ahead of the world. However, he knew nothing about the history of the steam engine development in his own world. However, not knowing the model of the steam engine does not mean that he could not repair this machine. After all, in his inspection today, he had confirmed that the steam engines in the two worlds had the same basic principles.

"Ha, if you don't know the model, you know how to work? Who taught you, will you be the god?" Gabriel felt even more like this little serf was bragging. He asked casually, thinking about how to give this pariah a little color.

“I think I can fix it.”

Gastens knew that his answer would offend the steam expert in front of him, but he thought it was worth it. He only had six years. If he could not get rid of his serf status and enter mainstream society in these six years, he would not be able to continue his plan at all. Packaging himself as a genius in steam engines was the most effective way he found after comprehensive judgment. For this, he had to seize this opportunity.

"Ha, do you think you can fix it?"

As if he heard some funny joke, Gabriel reached out and touched his beard and turned to the landlord Laurie Es Bath.

"Mr. Bass, I think you, a little serf, are very brave. Miss Jelinna is here too. Let's make a bet. If your serf can repair the steam engine, I don't want 90 kroner. If he can't repair it properly, you will have to pay me twice the repair fee, which is 180 kroner, what about?"

"Oh...this..."

The landlord Bass felt a little numb when he heard this. He knew Gastens clearly that this kid had grown up in the field and was a real mud-legged man. How could he repair the steam engine? He was about to find an excuse to reject Gabriel's suggestion, but he was interrupted by Jelinna who was accompanying him.

"Okay, I think it's pretty good! This is much better than a steam engine repair, Mr. Bass, what do you think?"

Jerinna Eridri, with blonde hair and plump figure, is the eldest daughter of Baron Laugu Eridri, the chief executive of Robida City. Because Baron Eridri has no son, she has partly taken over the management of the Baron. This time she came to Liuyin Town to find Laurie Es Bass to urge the offerings of the Yanghuo Festival, but she did not expect to meet a little serf with a bold look, and then saw this interesting scene today. She was obviously interested and guessed that with Laurie Es Bass' personality, she would definitely reject Gabriel's proposal, so she directly blocked Bass' mouth with her own words.

"Then... well... I'm quite interested in this. Maybe I have a genius of steam engines, right?"

Mr. Bass' eyebrows jumped and he was obviously a little unhappy. But he had no choice but to have no choice. The Eridri family directly controlled Liu Yinzhen and the losses caused by disobeying Eridri's eldest daughter were not comparable to the few dozen crowns. As a last resort, he could only follow Jielinna's words, but he had already made Gastens hate him to death.

"That's OK-"

Gabriel saw that Bass had fallen into his trap and was about to continue when he was interrupted by an unexpected person.

"Dear sir, can I say something?"

The arrogant serf who said he could repair the steam engine was arrogant and ignorant, Gastens looked at Gabriel straight and waited for his reply.

"Tell me."

Gabriel felt that he was sure of winning, so he didn't stop Gastens. Bass wanted to die as a serf who caused trouble, but he didn't stop him. Jielina was afraid that the excitement would not be enough, and she was even more interested. She looked at Gastens with her blue eyes blinking.

"Your bet is unfair. If I repair the steam engine, I don't need your help or pay you a fee. How can I not get a penny? If you all allow me, I suggest that if I repair the steam engine, our Master Bass will not only not have to pay, but you also need to pay Mr. Bass 90 kroner. If I can't repair it properly, our Master Bass will pay you 180 kroner according to your previous wishes. What do you think?"

Hearing Gastens's proposal, the landlord Bass raised his eyebrows and looked at Gastens with a gentle look. Jelinna chuckled twice, looking at Gabriel waiting for his reply. Gabriel was extremely angry and laughed. How could there be any genius who could learn from a complex thing like a steam engine?

"Okay! You said! I want to add another one. If you can't repair it well, follow me and go to the deepest mine in Johor Bahru to dig pyroxene. I will only charge your master 90 kroner maintenance fee. Do you dare?"

"I'll listen to my master."

Gastens did not answer directly, but threw the question to Bass and expressed his loyalty. The landlord Bass compared it in his heart and found that according to the latest suggestions, no matter whether Gastens could repair the steam engine, he would not lose, and naturally would not oppose Gastens's proposal. Moreover, this little serf has a lot of scruples. Although he hates it, he also knows that he is his master and has less disgust towards Gastens.

"Then let it be. If Gastens repairs the steam engine, Master Gabriel, you will pay me 90 kroner. If he doesn't repair it, you will repair it. I will pay you 90 kroner. Then I will give you this disobedient bastard. What do you think?"

The landlord Bass threw the new plan to Gabriel. According to this plan, Gabriel regained his face and Bass controlled the losses. Jelinna had a good show, and no one who had the right to speak had any objections, so he naturally reached an agreement. Perris asked someone to bring a parasol and a small chair, put it in the yard outside the mill, and also brought plum tea to each adult, opening the door of the mill, so that everyone could see Gastroentus's maintenance progress. Gastroentus also knew that this was a rare opportunity for him to return to his own world, so he naturally tried his best to seize it.

"…The steam heated by pyroxene can push the lid of the pot. There is pyroxene in this huge iron can and there are dried water stains on the wall of the can, so I judged that this iron can is used to generate steam..."

While explaining, Gastens laid the groundwork for the rationality of being able to maintain the steam engine, and gradually guided the major figures present to gradually focus on the cylinder part. Thanks to his experience on Earth, Gastens explained the basic principles of the steam engine in simple and easy-to-understand language, and also maintained the fun of his narrative. Master Bass, Miss Jelinna and Master Gabriel did not interrupt him. These people sat under the parasol, holding plum tea, and looked at the ragged little serf to explain the principle of the steam engine in a few seconds, from the generator to the steam pipeline, to the steam diverter, and finally stopped on the cylinder and transmission structure.

"…So, I think the problem should be here, Chika, can you help me pull this out?"

Gastens asked Cheka to pull out the cylinder head and the connecting rod behind it. As the obviously broken and missing cylinder head exposed from the cylinder head, Jelinna let out a soft scream. Master Bass looked at the broken cylinder head and thoughtfully, while Gabriel's expression was a little surprised. However, the reserve from the upper class made them not interrupt Gastens's explanation.

"...That's it. I think that as long as the old blacksmith Mobmos creates a component replacement in this way, cleans up the slag inside, and allows the steam to enter from the left and right sides of the cylinder, the steam engine should be repaired."

After half an hour, Gastens completed the explanation. He respectfully placed the damaged cylinder head in front of several big shots and retreated to the side with Cheka. While everyone was not paying attention, Cheka gently touched him with his elbow and gave him a thumbs-up. Gastens smiled back and waited for the big shots to answer.

"I really didn't expect that this little guy actually understood the steam engine. After listening to him, I felt that I could repair the steam engine. Of course, this must be an illusion, right, Master Gabriel?"

Jielinna spoke first, with a sincere tone. As an irrelevant person, her speech was relatively objective, and Bas, who was always stingy in the offering of the Yanghuo Festival, responded to it, which made her feel good, and she didn't mean to make things difficult for Bass in her words.

"This..." Gabriel had just had some new ideas. He twisted his beard and continued, "This serf is indeed very smart. I don't deny that he has a high understanding and can understand this Huni Four Steam Engine almost the same without any foundation, and find the crux of the problem. It is surprising."

"That means, if you repair it according to the method he said, the machine will be used?" Jielinna asked.

"Well, I probably need to check it carefully, but it's basically not a big problem," Gabriel turned to Bass, "Mr. Bass, I have to admit that the serf under your command made me look at me with some admiration. You won this bet today."

"Hahaha, no one dares. If it weren't for your arrival, Master, I probably wouldn't have any way to find a way."

Seeing that 90 kroners were earning money and the steam engine was repaired, the landlord Bass had focused on not offending Gabriel. No matter how capable Gabriel was, he was just a serf. Behind Gabriel were the Johor Bahru and the Brown family, he could still clearly understand the importance of it.

"Mr. Bass, you're so awkward. This kid is really good." Gabriel seemed very reasonable at this time. He told his attendant to hand over 90 crowns to Perris, and took the opportunity to make a new request.

"Mr. Bass, I think you, a serf, have a high talent in steam engines. It may be a pity if you continue to be a serf. I wonder if you are willing to appreciate the glory. I would sell this kid to me and I would be willing to pay 100 kroners, how about it?"

“100 kroner!”

Cheka, who kept listening to everyone's words, exclaimed in a low voice. This is a big number. In the serf market, slaves like Cheka who are in their prime, strong and proficient in farm work are only priced at 40 kroners. Now Gastens has built a steam engine and his value has increased to 100 kroners. These are the prices of the two best quality serfs!

"Oh, Master Gabriel is a big deal. 100 kroner is a lot of money. Mr. Bass, this is a surprise. What do you think?"

Jielinna also began to join in the fun, and looked at Gastens with more interest. But Gastens didn't notice Jielinna's gaze at this time, and his attention was all on the landlord Bass. He had thought that he had always lived as a serf and incited the serf uprising after the outbreak of the great war. However, compared with the more cultural and naturally more receptive working class, the path of peasant uprising was more difficult to walk. Therefore, Gablin's proposal can be said to be exactly what Gastens thought. With the help of Gablin, the steam expert, he could easily get the power to read and reasonable ways to explain his steam knowledge. Although he was extremely calm on the surface, in Gastens's heart, he really hoped that Master Bass would let him go with Gablin.

Everyone present looked at the landlord Bass. The always stingy master Bass thought for three seconds and then made a decision. It was simply too cost-effective to exchange a disobedient little serf for the kindness of the Brown family and the Johor Bass Mine.

"Okay, 100 kroner, that's it."

Gabriel stood up and shook hands with Bass. Jelina looked at the two of them with a smile. Except for Cheka, no one cared about Gastens's thoughts, nor did anyone consider Gastens's emotions. The little serf with a lofty goal clenched his fists and looked into the sky in the distance.

The sky is as blue as washing.
