Mystery: Chaos Path

“I know, so I plan to focus on the mass production of Extraordinary items. If we can solve this problem, perhaps we can directly bypass the difficulties brought about by the lack of oil by using Extraordinary powers,” Roland said, not hiding his thoughts.

“That’s a good idea. Although Extraordinary characteristics are conserved, the creation of Extraordinary items doesn’t necessarily require Extraordinary characteristics. However, things made this way have a limited lifespan…” Rosell pondered, stroking his chin, then suddenly slapped his head and said:

“Look at my brain, it's become rigid from staying in this era for too long. Why am I considering lifespan when it comes to mass-produced items?”

“So you think this is feasible?” Roland asked for the opinion of a professional.

“It’s somewhat difficult. The creation of Extraordinary items isn’t something ordinary people can handle, but I can try to make something similar to a machine tool. If I can successfully create a prototype machine, with the power of the Steam Church, it might really be possible to promote it on a large scale…” Rosell clearly already had an idea.

“Then I’ll have to rely on you, Rosell. After all, when it comes to invention and manufacturing, the entire Steam Church is probably no match for you,” Roland said with a smile, making sure to praise him when he needed his help.

“Alright, who told me to work for you!” Rosell didn’t decline, but he didn’t make any guarantees either, saying directly: “But I can’t guarantee success, and some things can be replaced with Extraordinary items, while others may not be. This path may not be viable.”

“Whether it’s viable or not, we’ll only know after trying it. And guess why I want to build a biological laboratory?” Roland said with a smile.

“Hiss, you’re planning to take the biological ascension route? Good idea!” Rosell instantly guessed Roland’s idea, first giving him a thumbs up, then saying:

“Actually, I also thought about developing a biological technology tree back then, but as a Seer, my specialty is mechanics. And I never saw any Earth Mother Church Beyonders in Intis, so the matter was dropped. Now that you want to develop this technology tree, I think it’s very promising…”

As a big shot who once single-handedly promoted technological progress, Rosell was definitely not an empty-headed person. On the contrary, he had many ideas in these areas, and immediately offered several research directions that he thought were promising.

Roland listened quietly, noting down these suggestions, then suddenly said: “It’s almost time. Should we say goodbye?”

“So soon?” Rosell was taken aback, then looked at Bernadette and said: “Bernadette, next time we meet, Dad hopes you can change the outfit you’re wearing. Of course, Dad doesn’t mean to interfere with your freedom of dressing, but you don’t need to be trapped by the past…”

“I know, Dad,” Bernadette interrupted Rosell. She looked at Rosell, revealing a bright smile, and said: “Next time we meet, I will put on the latest fashionable dress and wear the latest style of jewelry… I have never been an old-fashioned person.”

“That’s good,” Rosell breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Goodbye, Bernadette.”

“Goodbye, Father.”

Bernadette’s voice was very soft, but not sad.

Because she knew that she and her father would definitely meet again.

“Wait, boss, you haven’t answered me whether Bernadette can join…” Rosell suddenly thought of something, but before he could finish speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.

Roland, who had deliberately done this, smiled at Bernadette after canceling the Shadow of Time, and said: “I’ll send you back. Where do you live now?”

Bernadette immediately gave an address somewhat restrainedly.

Roland then used his Travel ability to send Bernadette back to her temporary residence. Before leaving, he said: “Your father’s intention is that he hopes you can work for me. What do you think?”

Bernadette was silent for a few seconds before biting her lower lip and saying: “Your Highness Lucifer, can I know what you mean by the so-called transformation?”

Bernadette was grateful to the benefactor who saved her father, but as someone who had witnessed how Rosell established the Black Emperor order, Bernadette really had some PTSD regarding the keywords “transformation” and “reorganizing the world order.”

Bernadette was worried that this would be another catastrophe, although from this brief contact, the person in front of her didn’t seem like the kind of existence who could do such a thing.

“You can take a look at this book. After you finish reading it, I will tell you what we want to do,” Roland said to Bernadette’s reaction, not surprised. He just smiled and handed Bernadette a copy of “Das Kapital”.

“Huh?” Bernadette took the book with some doubt, then nodded and said: “Okay, I will finish reading it as soon as possible.”

“Don’t rush, you can read it slowly. This is not a book that can be understood by skimming through it,” Roland smiled, then said goodbye to Bernadette and went home to catch up on sleep.

He was really sleepy after summoning Rosell for so long.

…

When Roland woke up, it was already noon the next day.

“Good afternoon, Sherlock. Are you the only one here?”

Roland came to the first floor and found that besides his alter ego “Jack Jones,” who was also catching up on sleep, only Klein seemed to be there.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Lucifer.” Klein obviously had some understanding of everyone’s whereabouts, and answered in detail:

“Jack has been staying up for several days and is still catching up on sleep. Mr. Medici hasn’t returned yet. I received a letter from him, it seems he will be busy outside for a few more days. Mr. Azik and Will took Little Amon out, it is said that a dessert shop nearby has just opened, and Will really likes their ice cream, so…”

Roland nodded, indicating that he understood. He went to the kitchen and simply made himself lunch. After eating, Roland cleaned up the kitchen and came to Klein, saying: “Are you interested in meeting someone with me?”

After waking up, Roland received a letter from Bernadette. Cattleya had confirmed that Frank was willing to chat with him, and the meeting time and place were up to him.

“Is it someone related to my destiny?” Klein guessed something and asked curiously.

“Sort of, at least in the original fate, you were one of his few friends,” Roland nodded and said with a smile: “Jack has already told you about his existence, Mr. Frank Lee.”

“Is it him?” Klein was a little surprised, but also not so surprised, so he asked curiously: “How did I become friends with him?”

“It’s very simple. You also know that Frank is a scientist with some strange ideas. His ideas seem too crazy to the world, and although you can’t completely accept his strange ideas, at least you’re not too repulsed,” Roland said with a smile:

“In addition, you really hoped to solve the food problem in Silver City, so you approached Frank, asking him to help research plants that can grow in the dark, and provided a lot of help. Over time, your relationship improved.”

“So that’s how it is.” Klein couldn’t help but nod after listening to this description. Although he didn’t experience all of this personally, he could probably guess what the situation was like.

Then Klein thought of what Mr. Lucifer had said yesterday, and immediately looked up at him, saying: “So you are planning to use Frank’s talent to promote the development of biological technology?”
