When Li Xiaotian finished speaking confidently, he was not greeted with a voice or gaze of praise. Instead, it was a look of pity and amusement, as if saying,'Is this little guy's brain finally broken?'meaning.
However, there was one person who was an exception, and that was our cute little princess, Vanessa.
When she heard Li Xiaotian's words, she actually started clapping loudly. Her beautiful little face was filled with joy for Li Xiaotian, as if she had successfully forged steel herself.
Dolores could not help but rub the space between her eyebrows. She really did not understand why her precious daughter would believe this little guy's nonsense. Could it be that the saying in the human world that 'love can turn a smart person into a fool' was true?
"Do you know how many times it takes for an ordinary person to forge a piece of iron into steel? You actually said that you can directly refine steel. If those dwarven masters who are proficient in forging heard your wishful thinking, they would probably laugh their heads off.”
Li Xiaotian was not discouraged when he heard that Delorise did not believe him. He had already expected such a situation to occur. Just as he was about to speak his mind, Vanessa, who was hugging him, spoke first,
"Mother, little Tian Tian is very powerful. He has invented so many things these days, and he has succeeded in all of them. Therefore, the method he said to directly refine steel will definitely succeed.”
After saying that, she happily kissed Li Xiaotian on the cheek. She looked like an infatuated little girl who had fallen in love.
Hearing Vanessa's confident speech, Dolores could not help but fall into deep thought.
It was true that Li Xiaotian's inventions had been unreliable during this period of time. Although all of his inventions seemed to be successful, the practicality of these things in the Abyss Demon Domain was completely useless. However, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Li Xiaotian's inventions, there was one indisputable fact. The things he had invented seemed to have achieved the initial goal of the brat when he designed them.
Could it be that this kid could really refine steel directly? If he could really do it, then whether it was in the Abyss Demon Territory or with the master of the human world, his status and wealth would be greatly improved.
Deciding to give it a try, Dolores asked Li Xiaotian about her concerns.
"Since Vanessa has already promised me, I'll believe you for the time being. Little Tian, let me ask you, how much steel can these so-called furnaces you want to build produce at one time? And can you guarantee that you will definitely refine the steel?”
Li Xiaotian pondered for a moment and calculated in his heart before giving an answer.
"Sister Dolores, my steel-making method can be used to produce steel on a large scale. According to my estimation, making a steel-making furnace that can produce a ton of steel at a time is the best choice. As for whether he could refine the steel in one go? I can't guarantee that. After all, this is a matter of starting from scratch. I think after a few experiments, I should be able to successfully refine steel.”
'What? A furnace that could produce a ton of steel, how much did it cost to make this big thing! And that furnace of molten iron. If the smelting was not successful, how much money would he have to pay?'
When Dolores heard Li Xiaotian's words, she could not help but think of the terrifying waste of alchemy warlocks in the human world when they conducted experiments.
These prodigal alchemists always swore that their next experiment would be successful, but those next successes never came. They only caused astronomical experimental funds.
The thought of Li Xiaotian having to conduct experiments nonstop like the other Alchemists made her heart ache. She had already begun to think of retreating.
"Little Tian Tian, I have to tell you regretfully that if you can't guarantee that you can refine the steel for me on the first try, I won't agree to build that furnace for you.”
"Why? Little Tian Tian made this thing to earn more money for you, mother!”
As soon as Delorise rejected him, Princess Vanessa was the first to be unhappy. For her now, any questioning of Little Tiantian's behavior was not allowed, even for her dearest mother.
After hearing Vanessa's words, Dolores 'beautiful eyes twitched, and a vein appeared on her smooth and white forehead.
" You wretched girl, you're actually going against your mother for this brat. It seems like it's time to educate this girl.'
Although she really wanted to pull Vanessa over and give her a good spanking, considering that there were still many outsiders present, she temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart and explained her reason in a pleasant manner,
"Little Tian Tian, you probably didn't think about this, but this kind of furnace that you're talking about, in a place like the Demon Abyss, it would cost a lot of money to build. Moreover, our Moonlight City doesn't have enough funds, so we have to spend money on all aspects. If we fail a few times, our lord's mansion's finances will probably collapse.”
"It can't be. Moonlight City is so big, but they don't even have the money to conduct a few experiments?”Li Xiaotian could not help but find it hard to believe.
Li Xiaotian did not know that his words had unknowingly stabbed into Delorise's pain.
Dolores spread her hands and said with a helpless expression,"
"Even if you don't believe me, there's nothing we can do. Let our butler, Miss Barbara, explain it to you!”After saying that, she lowered her head and began to taste the cake in front of her. She decided to use these sweet cakes to comfort her newly wounded heart.
To be honest, when Dolores was eating the cake, she looked more like a little girl next door tasting the delicious food than her previous strong and mature style. She used a small spoon to scoop up the snow-white cream on the cake bit by bit. Every time she put it into her mouth, her beautiful eyes curved into crescents.
Seeing Dolores, who looked like a small animal, Li Xiaotian could not help but sigh in his heart as he admired her beauty. How great would it be if you could maintain this appearance forever! At the very least, not only would I not have to worry about you killing me all day long, but I might even actively pursue you!
Just as Li Xiaotian was immersed in Delorise's girlish beauty, the Head of the Imperial Household, Miss Barbara, picked up a napkin and elegantly wiped the cream off her lips. She stood up and bowed to Delorise before saying,
"Actually, the reason why Moonlight City is facing a serious financial crisis is because of you.”
