Becoming a God by Raising a Witch

"Locke Belmont, are you kidding me? How did you suddenly become rich?"

Lebua Riddle asked in confusion.

"Do you know anything about Compass Water Company?"

Locke asked.

Lebua Riddle nodded, "Of course, this is already known to everyone in Kosolk."

"I received their compensation, and I happened to have some spare money, and I wanted to invest in some promising inventions."

Locke said.

"So that's it. Sorry, it was my fault just now."

Lebua Riddle's tone suddenly improved. He guessed that Locke might have lost some important family members and received a large sum of money for his safety.

"It's okay, tell me about your invention."

Locke said.

Lebua Riddle nodded, brought Locke to his workbench, pointed at the connected pieces of wood and said,

"This is a wooden swimsuit. Even people who can't swim can float when wearing it. The buoyancy of the wood can help those who can't swim swim."

Locke twitched the corner of his mouth, why don't you make a swimming ring? Well, there was no plastic in this era.

"Have you tried it?"

Locke asked.

Lebua Riddle shook his head, "No, the weather is too cold. It can only be tested in spring, but I trust my judgment."

"Yeah, but people will struggle when they drown. Even if you wear this kind of wooden leather clothes, the effect will most likely not be good, and it will be very unsightly. I believe no gentleman or lady is willing to try it. Why don't you make it into a ring shape? Use Soft wood, reed and other materials are woven into a ring-shaped object, which allows people to get into it and make the ring support the person's body. This kind of ring-shaped lifebuoy. "

Locke picked up the banknotes on the workbench and drew the graphics as he spoke.

Lebua Riddle was stunned, looked at the lifebuoy on the sketch, and said in surprise,

"Yes, this form can increase buoyancy. Why didn't I think of that? Locke Belmont, you are such a hidden genius."

"No, I can only think, but my hands-on ability is poor. If we work together, I believe we can create many good things."

Locke said with a smile.

"Locke Belmont, what do you think?"

Chapter 83, Ms. Cat who is greedy for pleasure

Locke gave three plans: the first was the bicycle, a convenient means of transportation, the second was the complex telegraph, the third was the telephone, and the fourth was the radio.

Lebua Riddle was dumbfounded.

He never thought that Locke Belmont, who was once a scumbag, could come up with such an advanced scientific invention. Even he could only think of a steam-driven tricycle. This kind of tricycle can replace the horse-drawn cart, but it is very troublesome to make. , because it must have a bulky steam head, the cost is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary coachmen.

"Locke Belmont, did you think of all this yourself?"

Lebua Riddle suspected that Locke had begun to believe in the Alchemy Church and had stolen the drawings and ideas of the Alchemy Church's senior leaders. The steam train and the fully automatic loom were invented by the Alchemy Church's senior leaders, and it was they who promoted the development of the entire kingdom. Technological revolution.

The bicycle can promote the transformation of transportation. It is lightweight, does not require the use of steam, diesel, or bulky engines. It is also faster than horse-drawn carts. Once popularized, horse-drawn carts may completely disappear from history. trend.

The telegraph machine was even more remarkable. In theory, it could transmit information over very long distances. Unfortunately, the production principle was too unrealistic, and Lebua Riddle did not think he had the strength to build it.

The same is true for telephones and radios. Lebua Riddle believes that as long as he can invent the telegraph, the telephone and the radio, he can write his name into Kosolk's textbook and become the top scientist in the Tumen Kingdom, and even To win the Morgan Prize, the highest honor for scientists across the continent.

"Well, for now, they are still my ideas, but after you produce them, they will become your works and our wealth. If you are confident that you can produce them, I will invest in you. You need To register a company, we not only want to invent, but also to manufacture.”

Emperor Russell told us that knowledge is power. I, Russell II, must make a fortune by riding a bicycle! Praise the fool.

Locke, who likes reading, added in his mind.

Tech geek Lebua Riddle was still immersed in disbelief. After hearing Locke’s idea, he said awkwardly,

"It takes time and money, I'm not sure I can make these things anytime soon, and while they sound amazing, I can't guarantee there's a market for them, so why don't you consider my steam trike and swimming equipment? Both require only minor improvements before they can be put into the market.”

Dreams are valuable, but Lebua Riddle still has to live. His parents are already urging him to find a job and not waste time on boring inventions. If he can no longer find a suitable job, his parents plan to terminate the job. his financial resources.

"Well, I'm not optimistic about either of them. If you find it difficult, you can start with a bicycle. This is the simplest and least expensive device, and it doesn't require a foundation in electromagnetic theory. As for the other three, if you don't do it for the time being, the manuscript paper will be the best. Good to destroy.”

Locke said.

"Burn it? How is this possible? This is such a precious and advanced technology. Even if it is just an idea and a drawing, it is worth collecting. I promise not to let a third person see it."

Lebua Riddle said confidently.

Locke didn't mind others seeing it. He had enough ideas, but unfortunately he had poor hands-on skills and only had a superficial understanding. He had no way to realize them by himself. If someone in this world knew the principles of electromagnetism in advance, they might be able to quickly progress from the industrial society to the electrical age and start the next technological revolution.

And Locke would also enjoy the convenient life brought by electricity. Thinking of this, Locke said generously,

"No, these manuscripts can be shown to anyone. Promoting social development is the obligation and responsibility of every citizen."

"Really?"

Lebua Riddle didn't expect Locke to be so generous. Such ideas and manuscripts that transcend the times can be shown to anyone selflessly.

"Of course, the most important thing is my brain, which no one can take away."

Locke pointed to his head, and then sat down to talk about cooperation with Lebua Riddle.

"You will be responsible for the technology investment, the company's operation in the later stage, and the establishment of the company, but you can only hold 30% of the shares, I will hold 40%, investing in ideas and funds, and the remaining 30% will be invested by another shareholder. Is there a problem?"

Lebua Riddle thought for a while and asked, "How much do you plan to invest?"

"450 silver mick."

500 silver mick is all the money in the suitcase left by Lucy. Locke plans to invest 90% as start-up capital, and leave the rest for Hannah for emergency.

This money is enough to start a small company with research as its main purpose.

Lebua Riddle nodded heavily, "Who is the other investor? How much will he invest?"

"I will find another investor, and the investment amount will not be less than 4,500 silver mick."

Locke said with a smile.

Lebua Riddle was stunned. Who could be so generous and come up with so much money?

He suddenly felt that his poor student classmate had completely changed, or that he had completely misjudged the person before, and the other party was obviously too outstanding.

"Locke Bemon, I'll go find a lawyer to sort out the contract right away."

"Well, okay, I'll pay you 450 silver grams in installments. You need to open a bank account, otherwise I'll have to come here every time to give you money, which is a bit troublesome."

"Okay, I will. I'll find someone to write me a letter of introduction and open a bank account as soon as possible."

Lebua Riddle said excitedly.

"Where can I find you after the contract is sorted out?"

"I'll come to you again in three days, bringing investors with me."

After Locke finished speaking, he left Lebua Riddle's apartment. The smell here made him a little unbearable.

Sometimes, it's really not a good thing to have a better sense of smell.

After leaving No. 32 Trey Bridge Street, Irene returned to Locke.

"I didn't expect you to understand all this, Mr. Visionary."

"You heard it all. I'm just good at thinking, not good at doing things. I need a strong assistant. Lebua Riddle is a simple-minded, honest man who likes to study. He is a partner worth cooperating with."

Locke explained.

One man and one cat got on the carriage across the bridge again.

Irene asked, "Will you let your noble master live in the manor when you make money?"

Uh, you are still thinking about your manor. You are really a pleasure-seeking cat lady.

"Yes, I can arrange maids and attendants for you at that time. Are you satisfied?"

"Well, I can't wait."

Irene nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

The coachman in charge of driving the carriage looked back carefully at the young gentleman in the car, his eyes full of doubts.

'Is he talking to a cat? '

Chapter 84, the first meeting of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau

The Sixth Security Court of Kosork, the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.

When Locke went back, he happened to meet Sieg and Robson who hurried back.

"Locke, you came back at a coincidence. The director asked everyone to have a meeting! Oh, don't bring cats."

Sieg reminded.

"Meeting?"

Locke has been in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau for so long, and this is the first time he heard that the director would do serious work.

Usually, Renis was either nowhere to be found or she was eating delicious food in the office. She never had a meeting.

So Locke found it very novel that Renis would hold a meeting.

Robson also became energetic. He always felt that he had spent this week in a daze. When he was in the Yorkshire Abnormal Investigation Bureau, he held a morning meeting almost every day, but when he arrived in the royal capital Koselk, he was unexpectedly lazy. On the days without meetings, Robson felt completely lost.

Locke and Robson were both participating in the meeting of the Sixth Abnormal Investigation Bureau for the first time, and both of them became energetic.

All investigators gathered in the director's office on the 3rd floor.

Director Renis was already sitting in the office.

Unlike any other time he saw her, Renis looked dignified, elegant and serious today, and she didn't have a pipe in her hand.

Locke guessed that this must be the real body that came back from Yorkshire.

He had already placed Irene in the kitchen and told her to get along well with Old Lani and not to ruin her career prospects, otherwise there would be no more delicious food in the future.

Renis saw Locke and Robson, nodded slightly to them, and then her eyes fell on the other old investigators.

Whether it was the lazy Sieg or the bottle of wine, Dimo ​​straightened their manners under her gaze.

"Everyone, let's start the report, starting with Dimo ​​and Angela."

Rhaenys's cold voice sounded.

Di Mo changed his usual lazy tone and said seriously,

"The case of C19 has been investigated. A female alchemy factory worker named Melnia picked up the witch's necklace. Because Melnia was ugly, lacked love for a long time, and longed for the love of men, C19 was inspired and let She became charming and attracted other workers, and 20 of them indulged in lust in the warehouse until they died and their souls were absorbed by C19.”

"C19 was recovered by the witch, and after devouring its soul, it was thrown into the street again. Locke picked up C19, but because of his simple mind, he never stimulated C19's potential power. Now C19's condition is very stable."

Angela added.

Rhaenys nodded slightly and looked at Locke,

"Just in case, Locke remembers to go to the church for another thorough check to see if there is any potential threat from C19."

"Okay, Director."

Facing such a serious director, Locke was still a little uncomfortable.

Rhaenys looked at Sigurd, who swallowed and said,

"Locke and I handled an A-level weird incident together and encountered a witch named Shelia. This witch is most likely the owner of C19, but her condition is not quite right and she is a little weak. Well, I guess She had suffered other serious injuries before. After she was killed, she cursed Locke. Locke had gone to the church for purification and is now a loyal believer in the Life Sect. He goes to the church to pray early every morning.”

Rhaenys raised her eyebrows, with a hint of chill in her eyes.

"You carried out a weird A-level mission with a newcomer who has not yet passed the probation period?"

"I'm sorry, Director, I mistook Locke for Robson."

"One month's salary will be deducted. If you make such a stupid mistake next time, you will be deducted half a year."

Rhaenys said in a tone that left no doubt that she could not accept that the new investigator was inexplicably sacrificed in the mission because of Sigurd's careless character. According to regulations, a rookie like Locke could not perform the mission in less than three months. .

"Next time I report on the mission, I don't want to hear speculation or these uncertain words."

Sigurd's face became visibly depressed, turning into the same embarrassment shape as the crybaby Boyd.

"Okay, Director."
