Barry Mendel is thin and has a face of about 50 years old, but Scott, who is sitting opposite him, is obviously much younger and has fair skin and well-maintained, which makes Scott look only in his forties.

He is a little short and obese, with a pair of round monocles on his face. Because he has been studying the thin hair on his head for many years, he looks even in an extraordinary world.

Bald heads are a difficult problem to solve.

"Don't worry, Barry." Scott's round face looked kind and said, "We know the progress of everyone at the same level. No one can meet the promotion standards in a short period of time."

"So we don't need to be in a hurry." Put down the documents in our hands, stood up and poured a cup of fragrant tea for the friend opposite.

"I was just a little worried. At the last exchange meeting, the guys from the Mechanical School were proud, and many young people on our side were hit. And at that time, that Safry was promoted directly on the spot!"

As his face darkened, Barry also heard his original experience. His old face was beaten and he could only swallow his anger and choose to escape.

Afterwards, the matter of Albert was still very controversial, and he did not find out the specific result until the end. There was no way, so he could only put all the responsibility on Albert, which retained some face for himself.

But when no one was around, he thought about it carefully. Although Albert was indeed abominable, Barry always felt that things were a little strange. And after that, Albert seemed to have evaporated from the world and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

This made him very upset.

Scott drank it with satisfaction after adding 5 pieces of candy to the teacup. "Those young people are so proud, it is worth enduring a little setback. In addition, I know what you are worried about, and you are afraid that Newcomer will be promoted?"

Barry nodded.

"That old guy, he has a problem with his foundation. If you try to promote, you will be desperate."

"But what if he succeeds?"

"Okay, what if he succeeds? I'm much younger than him, stronger, and more importantly..."

"My research has made breakthrough progress!" Scott clenched his fists with confidence.

"You mean... about the power transformation on the steamboat?!" Barry's eyes lit up.

"That's right!"

"The extraordinary person who controls the power machine has reduced one person, but the performance has been improved by 20%! With such results, even if Newcomer successfully advances to level 6, he is not qualified to compete with me!"

"Great!" Barry stood up excitedly, "What are you waiting for? Let's apply together!"

"Wait a minute, my drawing has been completed, but the new machine still needs the final adjustment and testing, which will take a little time, as fast as half a month, as slow as one month."

"Also I don't want to be promoted in obscurity like this. This will make people question my qualifications and say that I am a level 6 who only knows how to go through the back door." Scott raised his head.

"I don't allow such taints in my life, so I will show everyone my new design in a formal and public occasion. With a brand new rune, a faster ship to shut up those doubters!"

"Then, apply in the eyes of the crowd."

"Well, Scott, you're still so proud and will never change." Barry opened his mouth and knew that there was no way to dissuade his old friend.

"Because I'm a real genius." Scott laughed and joked.

"So what did you plan?" Barry asked.

“In the end of July or early August, a steamboat exchange meeting will be held between the southern waters of the Kingdom of Elland and Konos. I decided to come up with my new design at this exchange meeting and win everyone!”

"Because of different development directions, the Kingdom of Elland pays more attention to the capacity of transportation and is slightly inferior in speed. Every time I am won by Konos, I can win here, which is of great significance to the Kingdom of Elland."

"Good plan, but the Konos' speed is indeed amazing," Barry reminded.

"Don't worry, I just said that the speed of reducing one person can be increased by 20%. If it increases to a normal three people, even if the upper limit of mechanical transformation is taken into account, the speed can continue to increase."

"Compared with previous years' data, I'll win this time!"

"When I become a member of the Permanent Committee, the trash of the Mechanical School... Humph, their existence is the shame of the contractors!"

It seemed that Barry was also excited when he thought of a certain picture.

…………

52 Price Avenue.

"Teacher, an invitation from the association, invites you to attend the steamboat exchange meeting between the Kingdom of Elland and Konos."

In the room, Safry handed Nükmen an invitation letter.

"Put it aside, we can't go anywhere until we solve the work we have in hand."

"It's strange. When I received the invitation letter at the Royal Academy of Engineering just now, I noticed that Scott actually submitted an application and took the initiative to ask for participation in this exchange."

"Scott?" Newcomer put down the pen in his hand and raised his head.

"Have he not applied for a permanent seat yet? What is this guy thinking about? What exchange meeting will he run out to attend at this critical moment?" Newcomer felt a little strange.

"As far as I know, Scott is not the kind of casual person. He is extremely purposeful. He must have had some special purpose in attending the exchange meeting at this critical moment." Safry thought for a moment.

"By the way, will he design a new rune or make breakthrough improvements to the steamboat's technology? So he wants to shine in this exchange meeting..."

"After returning, apply!" the two of them said in unison, "It must be like this."

"Then this exchange meeting..."

"I think about it again. Time is very tight. We have to hurry up and study it. Sigmun's design drawings provide a clear direction. The new rune's ideas have made great progress, but Scott also needs to pay attention." Newcomer was a little hesitant.

"Is it possible for us to complete the design before Scott attends the exchange meeting and then apply first?" Savrey came up with another idea.

"It's very difficult, time is too tight unless someone else helps." As they said, their eyes were intertwined, and a name appeared in their hearts at the same time.

"It seems that I can only ask Sigmun for help."

"But there?" Savry was still a little worried.

"Wait and see." Newcomer didn't have a good idea either.

Just as the two were struggling, the butler's voice came from outside the door. The two looked at each other and smiled. Before long, Sigmun walked into the room under the guidance of the butler.

"Teacher, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"There's something that I want to discuss with you."

"You talk first." After taking a sip of coffee, Nükmen looked kind.

But not long after, an angry roar came from the room, "Dressel! He clearly promised me!" In the Newcomer's understanding, all this was Drressel's conspiracy, and Sig must have been bewitched by him.

Seeing the furious Newcormen, Sigmun swallowed what Duke Dressel told him before leaving.

"I promised you Sigmun, what's the matter with Guan Henrik?"
