Koensth regretted it.

He regretted taking advantage of Su Li.

The Steam and Mechanical Church did want to befriend Su Li and had prepared a set of black crimson armor for him in advance.

But it was Koensth, the weapons supervisor, who came up with the idea of giving Su Li a discount.

It wasn't that he wanted to make things difficult for Su Li, but he had gotten used to making money off of VIPs over the years.

However, he didn't expect this newly appointed VIP to be so wealthy. He could easily take out two precious gems from the bloodstone, and he even had a sealing item that could hold infinite objects.

"What else does your Steam and Mechanical Church have? Show me."

When Su Li said this, Koensth's face turned green.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to Su Li, "There's really nothing else! With all the things you bought, it's enough to arm a sizable team."

Su Li sighed and patted Koensth's shoulder, saying with a serious tone, "I have no choice. My storage sealing item has a flaw. It's called the Thief's Belt, and it steals something every once in a while. If I don't buy more, it won't have anything to steal."

"Items like the black crimson armor and the precious things on me, I dare not store them inside. They're too easy to lose."

Upon hearing Su Li's words, Koensth seemed to have found a lifeline.

"This problem is easy to solve! As long as you stop buying, I can give you a small gift in my personal capacity."

"Oh?"

Su Li couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

Without hesitation, Koensth took off a black iron ring from his hand.

"This, compared to your sealing item, has an internal space of only two cubic meters, but it has good stability. It's not a standard equipment and will never be sold to the public. Only members of the God's envoy and above can obtain it through merits."

Su Li looked at Koensth and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this too valuable?"

Koensth waved his hand and quickly said, "It's not valuable at all! Not valuable at all! I'm old now and in a retirement state in our church. I don't need to go out for any missions. It's useless to keep it."

"You suit my taste. As long as you stop buying, I'll give it to you."

Upon hearing Koensth's words, Su Li didn't immediately take the black iron ring.

He did need such a sealing item now. With more and more items on him, many things were no longer suitable to be carried on his person. With this, he could store some combat equipment inside.

Although the space would become much smaller once the black crimson armor was put in, it would still be enough to store precious items like the Phantom Revolver, the Lost Blade, and the bloodstone.

However, Su Li pretended to hesitate and said, "How can I accept this?"

"Or, should I buy a few more tens of thousands of pounds worth of items? After all, the opportunity for a discount only comes once."

Koensth was almost on the verge of collapse. Even if he sold the black crimson armor to Su Li for 25,500 pounds, he couldn't afford such a huge amount.

Thinking of this, Koensth, who had already finished smoking his pipe, gritted his teeth and said with a serious expression, "Young man, as an elder, I feel obligated to advise you that money should not be spent like this. Frugality is a virtue."

"Otherwise, how about this? Although I'm old, my combat power is still decent. If you're willing to give up, I can lend you my prestige. As long as you have a need, I can help you once."

Upon hearing Koensth's words, Su Li suppressed his smile and slowly said, "Lord Koensth, you are really generous. But... you also know about my teacher..."

Koensth interrupted Su Li and directly extended three fingers.

"Three times. Although I'm far from being as powerful as Mourinho, the friendship of a demi-god powerhouse of Sequence Four is never too little, right?"

Su Li made a look of extreme difficulty.

Koensth was almost grinding his teeth to pieces, but he still maintained a graceful smile on his face.

"By the way, do you need any extraordinary materials? I have quite a few in my private collection. We've had a pleasant conversation today, and I'm willing to give you a precious extraordinary material in my 'personal' capacity."

He emphasized the word 'personal'.

Su Li's eyes lit up and he asked, "I'm very interested in extraordinary materials related to dragons."

Koensth raised his head and called out to his assistant, Miss Miles, who was outside the door, "Miles, go to the Material Department now and apply for some dragon materials in my name. Say that I want to do research."

"Alright, Lord Koensth."

Listening to the sound of high heels fading away, Su Li started to drink coffee and enjoy the desserts and fruit platter.

Koensth also maintained a cheerful appearance, calmly sipping his coffee.

In fact, he had cursed Su Li, the little fox, countless times in his heart.

Su Li also knew when to stop. After all, buying to this extent, if he continued, he would only be able to buy heavy exoskeletons that were slightly inferior to the black crimson armor.

But these things were strictly controlled by the Steam and Mechanical Church, and he couldn't give them away. He could only use them himself, which wasn't necessary.

Just then, he remembered the previous incident about bicycles.

Wasn't Koensth in this field of expertise?

After eating a piece of soft and delicious qin melon, Su Li spoke up, "Lord Koensth, can I sell a patent to you?"

Now, whenever Koensth heard Su Li speak, he would instinctively tremble.

The tobacco in his pipe fell all over him, and the old gentleman realized and asked, "A patent? What kind of patent? Do you understand mechanical design too?"

Su Li gestured and explained, quickly recounting his idea for the bicycle to Koensth.

As a mechanical expert, the other party's eyes lit up just by listening to Su Li's concept.

As Su Li described more and more details, the mechanical master quickly found a feather pen and paper under the coffee table and started drawing on it.Under Su Li's guidance, he sketched the details of various parts on the side of the grass paper, and asked a variety of highly professional questions.

"How do you make the 'bearing' you mentioned?"

"You can use two iron rings together, filling the gap with spherical steel balls."

"What about the tires? I don't quite understand..."

"You can use a watering hose to form a circle..."

As Su Li supplemented the details, Koensth drew more than twenty individual parts, including the frame, tires, pedals, brakes, chains, handlebars, front forks, front axles, front wheels, center axles, chainrings, flywheels, saddles, and so on.

The more they discussed the details, the more inspiration Su Li gave to Koensth.

In just twenty minutes, this mechanical expert's eyes were already shining, wishing he could make one right now to try it out.

"You're simply a genius. Not joining our Church of Steam and Machinery is a loss for the whole of Valerian. How did you come up with this tool?!"
