Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 3 To Get Rich, Build Roads First
Chapter 3 - 3 To Get Rich, Build Roads First
Five years later.
...
At this moment, Su Lian, also known as Suman Leander, was already seven years old.
Over these five years, he had demonstrated unparalleled learning talent!
In his previous life, he was an outstanding student. Especially in the field of physics, he had even obtained a doctorate in mechanical manufacturing and automation. Of course, he hadn't neglected essential computer programming either, because excellent mechanical numerical control requires programm
ing.
Moreover, his current talent as a member of the royal bloodline was also extremely remarkable.
Whether it was his memory, learning ability, or magic talent, they were all of the highest quality!
He couldn't be called a prodigy in an exaggerated sense, but with self-discipline and a spirit of inquiry far beyond that of an ordinary child, he immersed himself in studying all knowledge related to magic. His aim was to enhance his magic strength and knowledge as quickly as possible. Then, whenev
er he had spare time, he would study everything related to "Knights"!
His grandfather was a prince, so as long as he wanted to learn this kind of knowledge, he could easily obtain it!
Whether it was alchemy, magic potions, or machinery, he could study it all!
Especially in the field of machinery, there were many similarities between the two worlds, and he learned extremely quickly!
...
In the study, Su Lian, who was seven years old, was meditating within a magic array.
Accompanied by a powerful magic glow, a strong wave of energy burst out from his body!
Breakthrough!
Magician rank — High-level Magician!
Su Lian slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"I've finally broken through. It's a pity that both my father and grandfather are out. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to sense the aura of my breakthrough and rush over immediately."
"Sigh, I can only give them a surprise at dinner time."
"Hehe."
At first, Su Lian looked a bit gloomy, but in the end, he gave a sly smile. Obviously, he was already imagining the shocked expressions of his father and the others at that time.
A seven-year-old High-level Magician was definitely a genius!
In fact, it was the result of the combined blessings of his talent and hard work. There was still a certain gap compared to those monstrous geniuses who could reach the level of a High-level Magician at this age with ease through cultivation.
But it was already quite impressive.
There were three stages for magicians: the Primary, Intermediate, and High levels. Considering that most people could only condense magic power at the age of six, his achievement was already very remarkable.
Su Lian could condense a little magic power at the age of three, could meditate normally and accumulate magic power in his body at the age of four, and only officially entered the realm of a Primary Magician by casting the most basic magic at the age of five.
...
"It's a pity. If I didn't have to learn the common language and characters of this world first, as well as basic history and geography, and also some political and etiquette knowledge that I must know, I should have been able to break through earlier." Su Lian muttered to himself with a hint of help
lessness.
There was no way around it. As a member of the royal nobility, there were certain things he had to learn.
However...
Now that I'm already a High-level Magician, and with my status as a royal noble, even though I'm only seven years old, I'm allowed to do some things.
To be honest, although the Knight mechas in this world are extremely tempting and I can't refuse them in the slightest!
But!
It has been three hundred years since the original "Dalita" was first created!
A full three hundred years!
All kinds of mecha models have evolved in countless ways. Can't you just allocate some resources to other aspects of the technology tree? Even if it's not in the area of war, it could be in civilian applications!
Until now, the main means of transportation is still a carriage!
A carriage, seriously! You can pilot a giant mecha, but you still use a carriage for travel!?
I also know that manufacturing a magic element power core is extremely costly, and it's not very realistic to popularize it for civilian use. But can't the nobles at least create some specialized means of transportation?
Su Lian was extremely frustrated with this world, which was blinded by the violent aesthetics of mechas and had its technology tree completely skewed to the extreme!
To be honest, there was nothing that could be done about it, because...
Ordinary families couldn't obtain a magic element power core, while wealthy families, that is, noble families, could buy retired old "Knights". In case of need, driving that thing for transportation was much cooler than a carriage!
And it was much safer too, because in this world, there were really magic beasts everywhere!
Just like the Black-furred Dragon that appeared on the night Su Lian was reborn. Even a Black-furred Dragon could sneak into the prince's territory. There was really no guarantee of 100% safety in other places.
...
"Forget it. I'll first go to the Magician Association in the city, get the High-level Magician's certificate, and then plan my next move." Su Lian stood up.
He opened the door of the study and entered the living room.
"Uncle Ryan, accompany me to the city." Su Lian called out.
Their manor was not in the city but in a suburb not far from it.
"You want to go to the city? Could it be that you, little Su Lian..." A middle-aged man with a surprised expression walked over from the side.
His family usually called him Little Leander. However, since Su Lian was used to the name that had accompanied him for more than twenty years, using the excuse that the pronunciation of Leander was too long, he asked his parents to call him Su Lian, which was the first syllable of his surname "Suman
" and his given name "Leander".
After all, he was just a child, and it was just a name. His family doted on him, so there was no problem with this.
"I've broken through. I'll give my father and grandfather a surprise when they come back. But don't tell my mother in advance." Su Lian said in a childish tone.
To seem normal, he still had to act like a child.
"Haha, that's great. But for safety's sake, wait for Uncle Ryan to drive a Knight and take you there." Uncle Ryan smiled.
"Okay, okay." Su Lian nodded.
Riding a Knight mecha was something he would never get tired of, no matter how many times he did it!

After about half an hour of traveling, with the prominent royal noble emblem, they entered the Magician Association without any obstacles.
There were no unexpected situations.
Under the surprised and envious gazes of everyone, Su Lian passed the relevant tests such as the strength of his magic power, the amount of his magic power reserve, and his magic skills. Finally, he successfully obtained the High-level Magician's certificate!
What?
You're talking about the written test part?
Su Lian had already passed the written test for the next level of "Grand Magic" last year. If he hadn't been sent to study noble etiquette and various courses, he could have continued taking the exam!
...
The Chamber of Commerce of Commerce and Trade — Lanteng.
"Uncle Emerson!"
Led by Uncle Ryan, Su Lian soon arrived at a chamber of commerce. This was a chamber of commerce that had a close cooperation with his grandfather, Suman Ersha. He was already familiar with this place.
"Yo? Why do you have the time to come to the city and play today, Little Leander?" A middle-aged man dressed in luxury
, wearing a high-plumed top hat and with a bit of a belly, walked out with a smile.
"Of course, I'm here to ask Uncle Emerson for help! It's the thing I told you about last time. I've just applied for assistance at the Magician Association, and we can start the work in a few days!" Su Lian said excitedly!
At the same time, he handed over a magic storage ring, which contained the pocket money he had accumulated over the years.
"Are you serious about this, Little Leander?" Emerson smiled slightly with a hint of helplessness.
"Of course! Hire Earth Element magicians to help lay the foundation, and the workers just need to lay the rails and sleepers. I want to see the railway between the mine and the iron smelting factory completed within three months!" Su Lian nodded seriously.
That's right, Su Lian wanted to build a railway between his family's mine and the iron smelting factory!
"Um... I'm a businessman. As long as you pay, I'll definitely complete the task. But did your grandfather really agree to you doing this?" Emerson smiled helplessly.
"No problem. The land belongs to my family, and I can requisition it as I like! The steel and sleepers are my birthday gifts, and the cost comes from my pocket money. Today, I also obtained the High-level Magician's certificate. As long as I don't blow up the mine or the iron smelting factory, there
's no problem!" Su Lian nodded confidently.
I'm the grandson of a prince, rich and powerful!
"Okay." Emerson spread his hands: "But when the land requisition approval document is sent to your grandfather's hands tomorrow, I hope your little bottom won't get spanked."
"Even if my bottom gets spanked, I still have to build it!" Su Lian nodded seriously.
The determination revealed in his young eyes even made Emerson a little surprised.
But he quickly shook his head in his heart.
He's the grandson of a prince. Let him have some fun. Anyway, he's doing things through legitimate means.
...
Emerson would never know how tremendous a transportation innovation the thing that Su Lian asked him to build would bring about!
To get rich, build roads first!
Su Lian firmly remembered this truth, and it was also one of the important cornerstones of his ambition!
