Chapter 89: Chapter 86: You Have to Train Your Employees Yourself

After ssaging Vera and Colin, Allen went on ahead to the Apprentice Trading Market.

In a secluded alley, he booked a private room on the second floor of a restaurant called Stone Fire Roasted at.

A preserved Demonized Wild Boar Skull Sample hung on the wall, and the tables and chairs were made of heavy black ironwood, giving the room a rugged feel.

Before long, Vera and Colin pushed the door open and walked in.

"Have a seat. The roasted at here is good."

Allen pointed to the seats across from him. He had already ordered them food and drinks.

The food was quickly brought up by an Alchemy Servant. The sizzling roasted at gave off a tantalizing aroma, but Vera and Colin were in no mood to pick up their forks.

They sat bolt upright, wondering what Allen had called them to discuss.

As Allen thodically cut his roasted at, he said, "It’s ti to expand the mutual aid group’s business."

He took two docunts from his storage bag and pushed them to the center of the table.

They were official Magic Contract Paper, covered in densely packed clauses.

"These are formal ’Employnt Contracts.’ Take a look."

Colin curiously picked one up, but his head was already spinning after just two pages. "...Party A... Party B... Definition of ’Core Business Secrets’... ’Non-compete Clause’... Allen, what is all this?"

Vera, on the other hand, read it more carefully. But when she got to the compensation section, she looked up, puzzled.

"Allen... it says here... fifty Low-Level Magic Stones a month? Is... is that a mistake?"

"That’s correct."

Colin leaned over to take a look, his eyes widening in disbelief. Fifty stones!

Unlike Colin, Vera just felt her heart grow heavy, filled with unease.

She set the contract down, wringing her hands. With her head bowed, she said:

"Allen, this is too much... It’s really too much. Colin and I just do odd jobs; we’re not worth this price at all. I feel like I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night accepting this much."

"This salary isn’t a reward for your past work, but an advance for the responsibilities you’ll be undertaking. If you do well, there will be raises and commissions."

Allen’s logic was irrefutable. "And what I’ll need from you won’t be ’odd jobs’ anymore."

"Vera, starting today, you are the mutual aid group’s Head of Finance and Student Affairs Representative. You will handle and record all inco and expenditures, including teacher salaries and new student tuition fees. Each month, I will only review the financial report you submit."

"Additionally, you will consolidate all day-to-day student issues and course feedback, filter out the important information, and then report to ."

His gaze shifted to Colin.

"Colin, you are the Head of Logistics and Administrative Specialist. You will be responsible for the maintenance of all our teaching venues, the distribution of materials, the orientation of new teachers, and handling any unexpected external incidents that may arise. I need to guarantee that our teaching activities will not be disrupted by any outside factors."

Allen looked at the young man and woman, who had been stunned into silence by his words.

"Fifty Magic Stones is buying your authority and responsibility, your ti, and your reliability. I need you to beco the two most dependable cogs in this system, ensuring it can still operate with precision and accuracy in my absence. Now, do you still think it’s too much?"

Vera and Colin fell silent.

They finally understood that this was no longer a matter of friends helping each other out, but a real job—a weighty responsibility.

Allen had long since defined his goal for this arrangent: ’I’ll streamline and standardize all non-core tasks, thereby completely freeing up my own productivity.’

And this was just the first step.

Once the mutual aid group’s model stabilized, he could launch a truly high-end product: a "Personalized Academic Path Customization" service targeting junior apprentices.

That was a brand new, high-profit market.

"Sign it."

Allen’s voice pulled them back from their shock. "You’ve earned this."

Colin no longer hesitated. He picked up the pen and signed his na.

Vera looked at Colin, then back at Allen. Finally, having made up her mind, she signed her na as well.

Having arranged everything, Allen left the restaurant.

The basic frawork of a money-making machine was complete. Now, he needed to build the first qualified "employee" for his future Wizard Workshop.

It only took ten minutes to get back to his dorm on the Flying Skateboard.

After several months of renovations, he had converted his living room into a small Alchemy Workshop, with various tools and basic materials laid out neatly on the workbench.

He didn’t start working right away. Instead, he first took a black Recording Crystal from his storage bag.

It had been sent over by Draven and contained so of the Ironthorn Clan’s foundational knowledge regarding chanical Bodies.

Draven was highly efficient. They had just signed the contract at noon, and by afternoon, what Allen needed had been delivered.

This knowledge was rely the tip of the iceberg of the Wizard Clan’s centuries of exploration and research in the field of chanical Bodies.

It wasn’t full of practical applications, but it did contain a vast amount of data from failed experints, as well as performance analyses of various materials in different Magic Power environnts.

This was the culmination of generations of thought on the design philosophy for chanical Bodies; such raw data was rarely found in the library.

"...The vast majority of Factory Servants on the market use a direct-link structure between their Energy Core and execution modules, resulting in an energy conversion efficiency that is generally below 60%. When performing actions such as transport, over 20% of the energy is dissipated as heat. This is a trendous waste..."

"...7th Revision Proposal: Attempted to add ’Heat Dissipation Runes’ to the joints. The effect was poor; it actually increased energy consumption..."

"...13th Revision Proposal Hypothesis: Can the kinetic and thermal energy dissipated during the servant’s movent be recovered? Referencing the elental circulation array, design a miniature energy recovery system..."

Allen scanned the information quickly, his gaze stopping on a standalone design diagram for a Rune Array.

[Closed-Loop Energy Recovery Array]

It was a compound array composed of twelve basic Runes and three variant Runes. Its function was to recover, filter, and feed a portion of the energy dissipated by the chanical Body during movent back into the Energy Core.

DSeek imdiately began running a simulation.

[Target: Standard Model Factory Servant. Integrate Closed-Loop Energy Recovery Array.]

[Simulating...]

[Under standard working intensity, operational duration per energy refill increased by 12.7%. Long-term operating costs projected to decrease by 8.3%.]

A design that could reduce a Factory Servant’s operating costs by nearly ten percent! This was the true depth of a Wizard Clan.

But what Allen wanted to do went far beyond this.

He planned to continue implenting the core concepts from his previous life: standardized interfaces and modular design.

The Ironthorn Clan’s approach was to optimize a fixed product, making it more cost-effective and durable.

Allen, however, intended not only to absorb their advantages but also to establish a standardized interface platform. Whether it was arms, legs, or any functional modules to be added in the future, everything would connect to the Energy and Control Core through this standard interface.

He was going to build an expandable, upgradable, "platform-based" robot!

"DSeek, initiate a new project. Project codena: Alfred, or ’Ah Fu’ for short."

"Using the Closed-Loop Energy Recovery Array as a base, optimize the energy module. The core design concept will be a standardized Rune interface architecture that divides the chanical Body into two parts: a core platform and functional modules."

Azure streams of data constantly shifted and reassembled before Allen’s eyes.

It was an open-fra skeleton with standardized interfaces.

The Energy Core, Control Core, and locomotion modules could all be independently replaced and upgraded like building blocks. Although individual component costs might be slightly higher, once mass-produced, the overall cost would be lower than that of standard Factory Servants on the market.

"Assist

in designing the first batch of expansion modules for the ’Ah Fu’ platform."

[Generating Module One: Sweeper Arm. Default basic function.]

[Generating Module Two: ’Heavy-Lift Arm.’ Contains a built-in high-output Rune Array.]

[Generating Module Three: ’Precision Manipulation Arm.’ Contains a built-in micro-stabilizer Rune Array for delicate alchemy tasks.]

[Generating Module Four: ’Rune-Forging Arm.’ Can be used for shaping and fabricating tal components.]

[Generating Module Five: ’Rune-Etching Arm.’ Capable of performing basic Rune inscription.]

On DSeek’s interface, these different modules could be detached at will and then "plugged into" the core platform’s interfaces.

Each ti a module was swapped, "Ah Fu’s" function changed fundantally. One mont it was a hauler, the next a welder, and the next an alchemist’s assistant.

’Now this is the kind of employee I want.’

A logistical and production platform whose function could be changed at any ti according to his needs, and whose modules could all be independently upgraded and iterated.
