"Aren’t you the best ’angel investor’ I can find right now?" Murphy said.

"Oh, was it Half Hanging Brother’s suggestion? No wonder then."

Meow Bunny nodded understandingly. Being naturally cautious, he took the blueprint that Vomit Mud Sauce handed over and looked it over, then frowned and said,

"I’m not a vehicle expert, but your truck design is quite different from any vehicle I’ve imagined! Why does it have such a huge chimney, and does it need coal added while driving?"

"Yes, it actually works on the same principle as a steam locomotive."

Vomit Mud Sauce stepped forward to explain to Meow Bunny:

"Look, I’ve put a high-power boiler in place of the engine. Although the thermal efficiency of steam engines is far worse than internal combustion engines on our side, over here, thanks to the magical Pyrogold Catalyst, steam engine thermal efficiency has made a qualitative leap.

It can even rival the power of the third generation of internal combustion engines.

And don’t be fooled by its unreliable appearance; in actuality, I have specifically consulted professionals. Count Shuren assured me that Half-body Men have been using steam engines for hundreds of years with very few serious explosion incidents.

The properties of Burning Gold are truly amazing!

Not only can it serve as a catalyst to enhance the efficiency of steam engines, but it can also stabilize the high temperature and pressure inside to prevent violent reactions.

In short, I haven’t casually poached a picture from the internet to scam investors—you can trust me, I put my heart into this design.

Although it’s different from the trucks we’re used to and indeed looks a bit odd, I’m confident that as soon as it goes into production, your village won’t have to worry about transportation anymore.

We’re aiming to develop a modern logistics industry, right?

You wouldn’t want your villagers to keep delivering parcels and mail by donkey cart, would you?"

Pink Kitty Bunny didn’t answer right away.

He carefully looked over the design blueprint and the very detailed business plan, and after several minutes, he put down the business plan, looked at Vomit Mud Sauce, and said,

"But you’ve deliberately avoided the most important issue, Vomit Mud Sauce my friend. Where will the steam engine come from? Transylvania’s current industrial level can’t produce this. You see, I’ve done my research before deciding to venture into the postal and logistics industry.

If you want to mass-produce trucks, you need to find a supplier who can provide you with steam engines steadily, either from the Cape Family in the Golden Flower Kingdom or the Half-body Men on the Ligurian Peninsula.

Both options share something in common: they are distant and expensive!

According to your plan, the profit margin for each vehicle is going to be squeezed to the limit, basically meaning no profit, and if a business isn’t making money, it’ll just keep losing.

I guess before coming to me, you must have applied for entrepreneurship funding from the administration office but were rejected by Governor Milian, right?

Look!

The NPCs here are really smart.

Problems I can see, they can see too."

Meow Bunny shook his head and said,

"If you can’t solve this problem, then all your wonderful plans will remain only on paper.

Believe me, I desire new vehicles more than anyone else, but that’s not a reason to frivolously spend the first pot of gold I’ve managed to save up.

If you want me to invest in you, you need to come up with a concrete solution."

"I could make one by hand!" Vomit Mud Sauce bit his lip and continued,

"We won’t follow the Half-body Men’s standards. I’ve seen the steam engines the Cape Family sent to the arsenal, and they’re overly complicated. We’ll use our own mature designs and modify them with placements for the Pyrogold Catalyst...

Alright, truth be told, Bunny Bro.

I’ve invited several engineers from our factory to come over for ’big things,’ and they’ve all filled out the test applications, but our ’Transylvania Winter Wind Vehicle Factory’ now needs starting capital."

"!"

Meow Bunny was startled and whispered back reflexively:

"Isn’t your factory a state-owned one? Won’t this cause trouble for you?"

"No, it won’t. It’s just a bit of fun in our spare time. Besides, even if we brought those blueprints here, the Half-body Men wouldn’t be able to produce such precision work.

The machining accuracy is just too far off.

Those are specialized vehicles."

Vomit Mud Sauce waved his hand dismissively.

He then gave Meow Bunny the full details. Without further hesitation, the latter pulled open a drawer, took out a black Psychic package, and placed it in front of Vomit Mud Sauce, saying,

"I can’t use the village’s public funds; that’s reserved for road construction and building hotels later. This is my personal sponsorship—let’s sign a contract.

Once your Winter Wind Vehicle Factory finalizes the design and manufacture of the trucks, you must sell them to us at a preferential price first."

"But war is upon us," Vomit Mud Sauce commented with some distress.

"I reckon once the war starts, our production capacity, no matter how much, will have to be diverted to military use."

"That’s an unexpected situation I can accept," Meow Bunny said, squinting and smiling.

"If Transylvania no longer exists, what good is all the money we earn? I don’t think Lupa or King Louis will treat us losers and refugees kindly. I don’t want to be a slave to a dead nation or be ridiculed as a homeless exile. Therefore, I suggest you lean slightly towards military use when designing the vehicles.

So if I were you, I wouldn’t apply for funding from the administration; I’d go straight to Lord Maxim and seek military orders to secure enough R&D funds.

Medieval steampunk motorized infantry, tsk tsk, sounds quite appealing, right?

However, Lord Maxim is a very stubborn man; if you want to convince him, you first need to produce something tangible. Trust me, this is the path vehicle engineers like you should take."

Murphy, hiding on the rooftop, found the advice Pink Kitty Bunny was giving to Vomit Mud Sauce below fairly amusing.

There really were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among his own little players...

Speaking of which, a secret report he received from Adel indicated that five collective farm village heads seemed to be getting linked together to form a political group.

He initially thought it was Old Huo making moves behind the scenes, but it appears that the real "mastermind" is you, the low-key village head of the Village of the Pride of the Lion King, right?

Good!

Ambitious! Spirited!

Want to be the second Governor of Transylvania?

No problem!

The position is there, perform well, strive hard.

Murphy silently grinned and dived into the night sky, flapping his wings as he looked back at the brightly lit office below.

"I’ve got my eye on you, keep it up, my Otherworldly Warriors!"
