A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World

Before the brutal industrial development could even begin, it was subjected to the strict scrutiny and requirements of the alternate world"s Environmental Protection Agency. As Mag really couldn"t win against Irina, he made a trip to Buffett Manor after the lunch service was over.

“Miss Scheer, after running the factory in the north of the city for a while, we realized there is a very deadly flaw in the steam engine. Perhaps we should make some changes to it,” Mag said to Scheer, who was dressed in a red dress as usual.

“Dead flaw?” Scheer sat up straight immediately. Her relaxed expression immediately became solemn and intense.

“Yes.” Mag nodded with conviction. With an equally solemn expression, he continued, “If we continue to ma.s.s-produce and utilize the steam engines according to the current design, we would cause an immeasurable catastrophic impact on the entire world in the future. We could even cause the extinction of all life forms.”

Scheer was shocked. After thinking about it seriously, she hesitantly asked, “A small steam engine is going to cause the extinction of all life forms on the Norland Continent?”

“If the use of steam engines gets out of control, such a situation is entirely possible.” Mag nodded.

“I would appreciate further details,” Scheer said.

“You knew that I happened to recruit a batch of elves who just came to Chaos City when my factory was just completed. Furthermore, I was fortunate to get to know Princess Irina. Because she had a huge number of elves under her, and I also wanted to try to diversify, we established a deeper partners.h.i.+p, built a series of factories in the north of the city, and began to utilize the steam engines.”

“Yes. The Night Elves" affair in Chaos City recently wasn"t a secret, and Mr. Mag had also created quite a stir in the business world by being the first to establish a business partners.h.i.+p with Princess Irina.” Scheer nodded with a smile. The issue of Mag and Irina building factories together in the north of the city was widely discussed in the business circles. After all, that was a labor force that consisted of 20,000 elves who had all had a keen mind and dexterous hands, and everyone wanted a part of that.

However, they didn"t expect that before they could receive any replies for the invitations for collaborations, the news of Irina working with Mamy Restaurant"s boss already got out. They were going to carry out diversified cooperation on the foundation of one small textile factory.

Moreover, the city lord"s castle supported their move by selling them a piece of land to be used for the factories at a low price.

Although Irina looked rather wretched after escaping from the Wind Forest with the Night Elves, she was Irina after all. She was a powerful and legendary elven princess.

She returned victoriously after battling against six opponents on that rainy night in Rodu.

At first, no one believed she could lead the hundreds of Night Elves to repel the sudden attack of Borg and the Wind Forest. In the end, Alex and she slew Borg, and repelled the Wind Forest"s allied forces, proving many people wrong.

Then, she crashed the Wind Forest"s conferring ceremony alone, and raised a fight for freedom that shocked the whole continent. She led the escape of the elves who were arrested, and another 20,000 slave elves, out of the soul-binding Wind Forest.

This was Irina. She was a woman that you couldn"t ignore no matter what situation she was in.

Even though she was in Chaos City now, with only 20,000 weak elven slaves, n.o.body could say for sure that the Wind Forest wouldn"t belong to her in the future.

As a woman who was also highly praised, Scheer still believed there was no way she could be on par with Irina right now. Their outlook and the things they did had a very wide gap in level.

Hence, collaborating with her now was a gamble on the future. A chance to collaborate with the elves.

Even Buffett Bank was planning on how to negotiate with Irina before Mag suddenly appeared to take the prize.

A restaurant"s owner took Irina and the 20,000 elves.

The entire Chaos City"s business circles erupted into chaos after this news got out.

After all, in the eyes of those powerful businessmen with tons of connections, Mag was just a chef who could cook wonderful dishes. Perhaps he won over Princess Irina with his scrumptious food?

Scheer was also rather shocked about that news at first, but she soon let it go. After all, Mag was the man who invented the steam engine and successfully collaborated with Buffett Bank with only a drawing and a roughly made sample. If this news got out, it would perhaps cause quite a big hoo-ha too.

The steam engine was the future, and Scheer wasn"t doubtful about that at all.

Now, Mag was saying that the steam engine could destroy humanity"s future. What did this have to do with Irina?

Mag solemnly said to Scheer, “In my collaboration with Princess Irina, she has given me feedback that the steam engines gave out a large amount of toxic gas during the process of burning coal. If this toxic gas was released into the air without any treatment, it would cause deadly damage to living beings after it acc.u.mulated to a certain amount and affected the environment.

“Once steam engines are widely popularized, coal will become the source of energy that is most commonly used in this world. Huge amounts of toxic gases will be released into the air, and soon this world will be filled with the toxic gases in the air, and our future will be pitch dark.”

“Is it that serious?” Scheer frowned. Now that she recalled, she always had a feeling that she couldn"t breathe properly every time she went to inspect the base. The black smoke had indeed made her uncomfortable after she breathed it in.

“In this area, Princess Irina"s opinions should be authoritative. No one knows nature and lives better than her.” Mag shrugged.

Scheer nodded, agreeing with Mag"s point of view.

After all, apart from the elven queen, Princess Irina was the only elf guarded by the Tree of Life.

“Then, how should we handle this flaw?” Scheer asked Mag. She wanted her name to be engraved into Norland Continent"s history in the future, but not by being called the “Devil"s Releaser” one day in the future.

However, she also wasn"t willing to give up on the steam engines. This was an invention that was going to change the layout of the Norland Continent and a chance for Buffett Bank to cross into another realm and become the leader.

“We need to solve the problem of the release of the toxic gas, and increase technical barriers on the steam engines to make its promotions and developments orderly so that we could greatly reduce the harm on the nature brought upon by the use of the steam engines. We have to be responsible for this world"s future.” Mag took out a drawing, and pushed it in front of Scheer gently. “I have already come out with the preliminary solution. However, we need Miss Scheer"s and the city lord"s castle"s full cooperation when we implement it.”

Scheer picked up the drawing to read through it carefully. She would sometimes frown, or her eyes would light up. She only put down the drawing in her hands about 10 minutes later, impressed, and said, “It"s my honor to collaborate with someone like Mr. Mag.”
