Chapter 82 It was clearly agreed to show off together!

"Navis!"

Lu Qi's voice was a little louder and he said, "I'll give you a task. I order you to develop a microphone as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Navis stood up straight subconsciously and replied: "Yes!"

Eh?

Then, she was stunned for a moment.

Why did you accept a mission so confusedly?

"I'm waiting for your good news."

Lu Qi smiled.

Microphone, what a great thing.

After researching it, I will install one at home. When he gets up every day and his mouth is dry, he doesn't have to get out of bed and can just call Urna.

It's not worth he wasted his breath for so long!

"Your Highness, I heard that you came to me for other matters."

After Navis came to her senses, her voice returned to normal, sounding like she had no strength.

"Ah, yes." Lu Qi also remembered the real purpose of his coming here today, "I will tell you about the newspaper."

Not much to talk about this time, just a concept.

After listening, Navis sighed: "I had a similar idea before. But when I proposed it, many people laughed at me, and I didn't have the funds to prepare."

Currently, Demacia basically uses transcription and lithography methods, which are very rigid and inflexible.

Generally, official announcements are transcribed by specialized personnel and then posted outside for the people to see.

Lithographic printing can basically only deal with books, because the content of books is rigid. You only need to burn the fixed words, then copy them with ink and paper, then fix the papers together and affix them to the leather surface prepared in advance.

The whole process is very laborious and time-consuming.

Don't look at Lu Qi and others who read books every day. In fact, private books are extremely expensive.

There is even a profession that specializes in copying books and writing for others.

Therefore, if you want to go big on printing, it will definitely cost money in the initial stage.

Whether it's paper, equipment, or manpower and material resources, it's a lot of money, and the three thousand gold coins Lu Qi has on him may not be enough.

That's why he roped in Lux, Fiona, and Kashina to join him.

Without being sure that this thing will definitely become popular in the future, naturally no one would dare to try it easily.

It stands to reason that Navis is a young lady from a retainer family, so she should be qualified.

However, in fact, this is not the case.

Because her mother did not listen to her family's advice and secretly married an ordinary craftsman, she is now not very popular in the family.

Even though her name contains the word "minke", some people regard her as an outsider.

Looking at the girl who lowered her head in front of him, Lu Qi said: "You don't have to worry about this problem now. Just follow your ideas and do it boldly."

Navis raised her head, looked at Lu Qi, and said somewhat unconfidently: "But... can I do it? Why don't you find someone else?"

In terms of talent, she doesn't seem to be the most outstanding member of the Menke family.

She often makes inventions that are useless, causing many people in the family to think that she is the stupidest one.

He clearly has no merit.

Lu Qi looked her up and down and said seriously: "Because the others don't seem to be as easy to fool as you."

Navis: "???"

She couldn't help but stay on the spot.

What is the reason?

"Then it's settled, from now on, you will work for His Highness."

Seeing that she seemed to be a little confused, Lu Qi immediately made the final decision.

"Hey, wait." Navis quickly reacted and wanted to say something.

She hasn't said yet whether she is willing to accept it.

Lu Qi stared at her and snorted coldly: "What, you want to reject His Highness? I ask you, are you willing?"

Under the gaze of those starry eyes, Navis suddenly felt a lot of pressure. She lowered her head nervously, her face flushed a little, but she didn't have the courage to refuse, and finally said weakly: "Yes."

When she said this, she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.

"You're wise." Lu Qi didn't care. He hadn't met such a bully girl for a long time, so naturally he wasn't ready to let it go, so he said even more fiercely, "Don't worry, His Highness won't let you work for free. Occasionally, if you feel like it, If you do well, I can give you a monthly salary of ten gold."

Navis raised her head blankly, her expression even more confused.

Ten gold a month.

And I still feel good sometimes.

She suddenly felt that her life was gloomy.

"Okay, stop bullying her!"

At this time, Lux on the side couldn't stand it anymore, rushed up and punched Lu Qi, and then glared at him fiercely.

Then, she took Navis away and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I can add more hardware to you in private."

Navis: "."

You two, where did the devil come from!

Is there a big difference between ten gold and fifteen gold?

In the end, it was Kashina who acted as a white face and comforted Navis's mood.

But in the end, Navis didn't say whether she was willing or not.

Anyway, I was already on board the boat in a daze.

And all four of them discovered one thing, that is, Navis was really easy to bully.

She is an honest and boundless girl, quite weak in nature, and has a submissive personality.

Of course, Lu Qi was basically the only one present who would bully others, and there was no chance now, because Navis was temporarily protected.

At this moment, everyone is changing venues.

Because the Menke family is a family of craftsmen, they have a large workshop within the family, which can be regarded as the industrial base for their internal staff.

General research and development is done here.

With Navis leading the way, everyone moved forward.

When he arrived at the place, Lu Qi found a square here. In the center of the square was a three or four-meter-high statue, which looked like a leopard or a lion.

After taking a closer look, this statue seemed to be made of Forbidden Demon Stone, and it should have a certain history.

Lu Qi looked through his memory from the book he had read. The name of this statue was probably "Anti-Magic Quartz Formation Beast".

Rumor has it that this quartz statue was used to charge into battle on ancient battlefields.

This reminded Lu Qi of the giant statue outside the city, Galio.

It has the same story. In ancient times, people used it to fight mages. The battles it appeared in were often one-sided, and it was regarded as a heroic colossus by countless Demacians.

But now, this has become a legend.

Already, in people's minds, the giant statue outside the city seemed to have never moved.

These stories were later thought to be made up, and although they were not forgotten, no one believed them.

After all, there are no moving stone statues.

Withdrawing his thoughts from the position beast in front of him, Lu Qi looked around. One steel building after another was lined up in a circle, and what struck him was a mechanical feeling.

"This is it."

Navis stood in front of an iron door that was twice as big as her body, pressed her body against it, and pushed in hard.

Lu Qi stretched out his hand to add strength.

"Thanks."

Seeing that the door was pushed open easily, Navis thanked her carefully and walked in.

Everyone also entered. The space here is not small. At a glance, all kinds of steel accessories and basically the equipment of craftsmen are also available.

"Your Highness, could you tell me your thoughts about the newspaper?"

Navis stood over there, wanting to hear Lu Qi's opinion.

I just confirmed that the concepts are the same.

Now, there is still a question about how to start.

Lu Qi was well prepared for this and asked, "Do you know typesetting and letterpress printing?"

"here we go again!"

When the three girls, Lux and Lax heard this, they immediately rolled their eyes.

They seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen next.

Instead of just waiting around, he decided to go outside and watch the scenery.

After all, I can’t understand what I’m listening to, and I can’t join the conversation.

This time, Navis was a little confused and said, "Can you elaborate?"

"So-called typesetting and letterpress printing"

Lu Qi stopped talking nonsense and started talking nonstop again.

And Navis stood opposite, listening and nodding with a very serious expression.

The three of Lux came outside and wandered in the nearby garden, waiting to go back later.

"I now suspect that he is reading secretly behind my back!"

Walking on the road, Lux looked angry and puzzled.

Why does this guy know so much? Seems like he can do a little bit of everything.

It was obvious that she was just like her in class, but she didn't show any seriousness. She only ate and slept all day long.

But the way he behaves now is completely unlike what a scumbag should look like!

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 is wrong!

This made her suddenly feel betrayed.

It was clearly agreed that they would be destroyed together!

What do you mean by working hard secretly?

Hearing this, Kashina smiled and said, "Maybe it's because of His Highness's outstanding talent."

Today's Lu Qi opened her eyes again.

Because of her personality, Naives stayed at home all year round, so she never went to college.

However, as her friend, Kashina knew that Navis's knowledge was far beyond that of her peers.

However, this kind of Navis was like an apprentice in front of Lu Qi today.

This once again made Kashina realize how extraordinary Lu Qi was.

She couldn't help but think of the thank you gift she had thought of last night, and became a little distracted.

"Ha" Lux sneered. Just as he was about to refute her words, his attention was suddenly attracted by a flash of light. He glanced sideways and discovered the necklace that inadvertently flashed out on Kashina's chest.

For a moment, I felt something familiar and muttered, "This necklace, why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?"

After hearing her words, Kashina came back to her senses, lowered her head and quickly stuffed the necklace back into her clothes, and forcefully changed the subject: "What did you just say?"

"I say item"

"No, the previous sentence."

"What did I say last time? Yes! That guy Lu Qi secretly worked hard behind my back!"

"Really? Your Highness is so evil!"

Kashina immediately took the stance of a good sister and showed an expression of indignation.

This made Lux full of firepower.

The two people immediately began to attack Lu Qi.

On the side, Fiona, who did not join in the conversation, calmly retracted her gaze from Kashina's neck, as if she knew something.

Half an hour later.

The three girls returned.

At this time, Lu Qi had already said enough, and there was no need to say anything more.

Because he found that Navis was very talented and had a lot of knowledge. She could basically explain many things at a glance, and could even draw inferences from one instance to another.

This made Lu Qi very worry-free.

I feel like I have found an excellent employee this time.

By now, Navis has heard it clearly.

"In other words, we should start with this typesetting, express the characters of Debon as lead and iron, and then put them together through different grouping methods, and just take the typefaces when needed. .”

She said to Lucci.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Lu Qi nodded, noticed Navis who was about to say something else, raised his hand to interrupt, and then patted her shoulder: "You are now a qualified worker, you must learn to do your own research, for ten gold coins, do your best effort."

Navis: "."

When she heard about ten gold coins, she suddenly wanted to stop working.

Of course, just thinking about it.

Her heart was full of motivation at the moment, and she couldn't wait to start studying printing.

She naturally doesn't care about salary or anything like that. What Navis loves is the craftsman itself, and what she really cares about is what she gains in the process.

He raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Lu Qi.

I have to say that His Royal Highness is really awesome.

Today brought her a lot of inspiration.

After settling down her confidence, Navis raised her head and said cautiously: "Then, Your Highness, I will start according to my own ideas."

Lu Qi replied with a calm expression: "Well, it's up to you."

Navis nodded, then turned and walked to the workbench.

After glancing at the girl's back, Lu Qi withdrew his gaze.

It's not that he doesn't care, but after several conversations, he thinks that Navis's ideas are sometimes better than his.

Therefore, at this time, he would not control Navis.

Otherwise, what we are looking for this time is not an excellent employee, but a puppet.

at this time.

Fiona was wandering around the workshop when she suddenly noticed something and walked closer.

Squatting down, is there an iron statue in front of you? Or a dummy? At this time, it was like a pile of scrap metal, stretched out and placed here.

She took a closer look and found that the dummy seemed to be filled with accessories.

I couldn't help but be very curious.

She stood up and asked, "Navis, what is this?"

Navis looked at it, and then replied: "That is something I was studying a while ago. I call it a training dummy."

Seeing the curiosity in Fiona's eyes, she trotted over.

"Can you give me a hug?"

She tried to pick up the dummy alone, but found it a bit difficult and looked to Fiona for help.

Fiona nodded, stretched out her hand and easily picked her up.

Navis continued: "Help move to the open space over there."

When she arrived at the clearing, she took a clockwork that she had held in her hand before leaving, found the insertion hole, and inserted it.

Then he turned it very hard several times.
