Above the Pirate King

Chapter 67 Garbage Overlord
Maker was born in an abandoned ship dump in the famous shipbuilding country of Silas in the West Sea.

The people living there are all relying on looking for usable parts on the ship or valuable things abandoned in the ship.

He was born without a father, and his mother died when he was seven!
Fortunately, Meke has lived in a garbage dump since he was a child, and he is also very experienced in picking up garbage!
Although he is often bullied by others because of his short stature, but with his superb trash picking skills, he can live a decent life!
But Meck has a unique hobby that doesn't fit in with a place like a junkyard.

I just like reading and inventing various things.

I often buy some books with the money I got from picking up trash. I also have many weird but useless inventions.

until one day.

When he was boiling water, he found that the boiling water had lifted the lid of the kettle.

From then on, he hid at home and never went out, alone on the road of steam research, gone forever!

I seldom even pick up trash. I only go out to pick up some trash when I am hungry, or pick up some usable parts in the trash when there is a shortage of research materials.

Life couldn't go on.

Everyone around thinks that Meke's brain is out of order!
You don't even have to eat, so what the hell are you going to study?

However, he ignored outsiders and devoted himself to research.

He seems to have a special talent for the study of steam. When he was 15 years old, with his clever brain, he successfully researched the steam engine.

Afterwards, steam alarm clocks, steam washing machines and other steam products were born under his hands.

But then, his research began to fall into a bottleneck state.

After all, the resources of the garbage dump are limited, and there are problems in various aspects such as processing and materials.

He's completely incapable of crafting and doesn't have the resources to build what he wants.

Steam Iron Giant!

The steam iron giant is something he designed to make up for his own shortcomings.

But the design is designed, but it can't be done!
For a while, he fell into a stalemate. He could only hide in the room and rack his brains every day, thinking hard, but there was still no progress!
until one day.

Maker was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he went out to pick up trash.

He shuttled nimbly through the garbage dump, and in a short while picked up a bag full of valuable garbage, just when he was about to exchange it for money to buy some food.

He discovered something that changed his life.

A spiral-shaped yellow fruit that looks a lot like a pineapple.

At that time, this fruit was placed in the crevice of the deck of an old ship. If he hadn't walked over the deck and the deck collapsed after a long period of disrepair, he really wouldn't have found the fruit.

After he picked up the fruit, he took a closer look at the fruit in front of him. It was well preserved, without any damage, and looked fresh and juicy!

It happened that he was hungry, and he hadn't eaten fruit for a long time, and the fruit looked good again.

He recalled the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, and swallowed involuntarily.

After hesitating for a while, he finally took a bite. After all, such a well-preserved fruit does not seem to be poisonous or problematic!
This sip immediately changed his expression.

It was too bad to eat.

He thought the fruit was poisonous, so he threw the bitten fruit away.

Fortunately, he waited in place for a while, and there was nothing unusual about his body.

Meke only thought that the fruit was broken and didn't care, so he continued to exchange money.

Until he finished changing the money, had a full meal, and returned to his house.

He slowly began to feel that something was wrong.

There seemed to be an invisible realm around him.

Within the domain, he can process anything!
It can directly convert raw materials and semi-finished products into the goals he needs.

Anything can be processed according to the ideas in his mind!

Of course, there are also shortcomings, which must be understandable and logical to him!

Fortunately, Meck liked to read since he was a child, and his brain is quite smart. As a big shipbuilding country, the Kingdom of Silas has relatively close ties with the outside world. He can buy all kinds of books, and he has a wealth of knowledge!
Now, with this ability, he is even more powerful, and he is out of control on the road of invention!

Steam Iron Giant!

This crazy and unrealistic idea, with his fruit ability, has come true!
Soon, he invented the first mech, which he called the Steam Iron Giant.

The first one was not as big as it is now, only five meters high.

It's all made up of junkyard garbage, and its strength is not very strong, just a sergeant to a sergeant.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

As a garbage dump for ships, there are also different forces here, but, after all, they rely on picking up garbage for a living, how strong can they be?

Once, when Meke went out to pick up trash again, he happened to be seen by a group of people who directly robbed him of his things.

With the mecha, Meke, in a fit of anger, simply rode the mecha and overthrew the entire faction!

From then on, no one dared to provoke him again.

Later, in order to avoid being bullied by these forces, some people simply made confessions to Meke every month, asking for his protection to avoid being robbed by others.

Ever since, he has successfully become the tyrant of the garbage dump.

He even has his own title, Garbage Overlord!

He can earn hundreds of thousands of peles a month without doing anything, and several million peles a year.

With these incomes, his life is even less worrying.

So he devoted himself even more to the research and development of the steam steel giant!

However, new problems gradually emerged.

The money is not enough!

The more he studied, the more he discovered his own poverty.

Although there are processed fruits, various expensive raw materials also need to be purchased!

It is impossible to produce something for him out of thin air by processing the fruit!

Several million Baileys simply cannot support his research and development.

So for more than ten years, while continuing to research and develop, he looked around for people who could support his research.

For those wealthy nobles, the king is his first target.

It's a pity that the nobles and kings he found to support his research and development could not understand the results of his research!
In their opinion, if they have the money to study mechas, they might as well just recruit a few more powerful guards instead of carrying this huge thing every day.

At this moment, he saw the talent recruitment notice on the western poster!
So, he brought his strongest mecha over.

Isn't this a tech house?

This was Arthur's first thought!

"Don't worry, Master Maker, you can do whatever research you want here!" Arthur said boldly.

"Really?" Meck couldn't help asking.

"Of course, there is no problem. I will give you [-] million St. Martin coins every year as research funding!" Arthur said with a smile.

"Saint Martin coins? How many Baileys is that?" Meck asked puzzled.

"Billion!"

"One billion!!!" Meck said in surprise.

Holding his forehead, he suddenly felt unsteady.

It felt as if a pie had hit his head from the sky, and he was dizzy all over!

"That's right!" Arthur nodded affirmatively, then changed his voice, looked at the mech and asked involuntarily, "By the way, Master Maker, what kind of fuel does your steam mech use?"

Arthur is quite curious about this, what kind of fuel can drive such a large machine when burned?

If possible, he even wants some fuel like this to be used on the conquerors, so that the conquerors don't have to bring a lot of coal every time they go to sea to start the steam engine!

"This is the super coal I processed with my fruit power!" Meck replied proudly.

"Super coal?" Arthur asked puzzled.

"It is to process and fuse hundreds of pieces of coal with my ability, so that the volume becomes smaller and burns longer, so that there is enough power to start this big guy!" Meck explained.

Hearing this, Arthur was a little disappointed. If this is the case, wouldn't mass production be impossible?
However, he soon put his disappointment behind him, looked at Meke, and now he is very satisfied to have such a talent!
"By the way, Master Maker, why are there two swords on this mech? Why not just put cannons on it?" Arthur asked puzzled.

"Cannon?" Hearing this, Meke's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "It's a good idea! Why didn't I think of it? After installing the cannon, the steam steel giant will have the ability to attack from a distance!"

Uh. I didn't expect it!
Arthur was speechless for a moment.

However, he still discussed it with Meck enthusiastically.

"Master Meck, you see that the seat has no protection on it. If I am an enemy and shoot the operator directly, isn't the mech equivalent to useless? I think it is best to add a layer of protection to the seat! "

"I've thought about this too, but it doesn't work! Once you have protection, you won't be able to see it!"

"Master Maker, have you heard of bulletproof glass?"

The two started discussing it with great interest.

Although Arthur doesn't know how to make mechas, or even the principles inside!
But he is creative and imaginative!
After Meck heard his ideas, he couldn't help but be attracted to them. Although there are many things he can't do, it doesn't prevent him from absorbing what can be done in these ideas!
Soon, under the chat between the two, a steam mech called a war machine appeared in their minds.

Meke didn't bother to continue chatting.

Urging Arthur to prepare a laboratory for him, he wanted to make this war machine.

Arthur was also unambiguous, and took Meke directly from the underground train back to St. Maarten. After he was settled, he also gave him [-] million St. Maarten coins.
