I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 23 Tinari and Cole.

"Teacher." Tinari turned around and bowed to Nafis.

"These are the two students who chose you this year." Nafis pointed at Chen Bo and Palavi with annoyance. "One got a perfect score, and the other almost a perfect score. Tinari, you really got a great deal this time."

Tina's gaze fell on Chen Bo, her eyes clear and bright.

"I'm glad you chose me," Tinari said, his voice gentle. "But I must give you a heads-up. Life in the rainforest is not as good as in Sumeru City. The air there is humid, there are countless mosquitoes, and there are dead zones that could break out at any time. Life is also very busy on a daily basis."

Paravi straightened his back: "I'm not afraid of hardship, Teacher Tinari!"

Chen Bo nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Seeing this, Sage Nafis waved his hand: "The people have been brought. You can talk the rest yourselves. Tinari, these two children are yours."

After saying that, Nafis left with his hands behind his back, looking somewhat dejected.

Tina looked at Chen Bo and suddenly asked, "Anil, I've heard the teacher mention you. You're a very thoughtful student. So, when do you plan to report to Huacheng Guo? According to regulations, you have two months of vacation, but I suggest you go as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with the environment."

Chen Bo thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Tinari, I may need to postpone my trip by a month. During this time, I will be participating in the Mechanical Combat Competition organized by the Mystic School."

Tina's ears twitched, and she looked at him with some surprise: "A student of the Life Theory School participating in the Mystic Theory School's competition? That's quite rare in the Council of the Fathers."

"Working in government offices is just a personal hobby," Chen Bo smiled. "Besides, I want to earn some prize money to support my future research."

"A fascination with mechanics?" Tinari pondered for a moment before saying, "That's good news. If you're truly skilled in these areas, then many of the old facilities in Huacheng City can be saved. In that case, you'll stay in the city for the next month to prepare for the competition."

Tinari paused for a moment, then said, "Perfect timing. I brought Cole into the city this time, and she's also very interested in the Mech Race. But I'll be busy handing over supplies to the Order of the Church these next few days, so I won't have time to accompany her. If you don't mind, you can bring her along to the race."

"Colette is here too?" Chen Bo asked.

"She's waiting for me in the fountain square below," Tinari gestured for the two to follow him.

The three arrived at the square near the Grand Bazaar.

From afar, Chen Bo saw a girl with short green hair. At that moment, Ke Lai was standing somewhat awkwardly in the shade of a tree, enjoying the cool air.

"Coley," Tinari called out.

The girl trembled like a startled fawn, but when she saw Tina, she breathed a sigh of relief and jogged over.

"Master," Ke Lai's voice was soft and pleasant.

"These two are your juniors, Anil and Palavi," Tinari introduced. "Anil will be participating in the upcoming mechanical combat competition. You can go with him and see what it's like."

Ke Lai looked at Chen Bo, her eyes sparkling: "A contestant in the mechanical combat competition? That's amazing... Um, hello, I'm Ke Lai."

She reached out her hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands, but quickly withdrew it, appearing somewhat hesitant.

Chen Bo noticed her nervousness and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Ke Lai. Are you also interested in machinery?"

Cole said, "I just enjoy watching; I can't actually make mechanical devices or anything like that."

Chen Bo said, "If you are interested in the manufacture of mechanical devices, you can stay and watch while I'm making it."

"Really? That's great!" Cole asked, somewhat surprised.

Cole is so cute, and Tinari takes good care of her.

"Then it's settled," Tinari said to Chen Bo. "I'll leave Cole in your care during this time."

"I'll head back to the rainforest now."

"Understood, I will take good care of my senior sister." Chen Bo joked.

Ke Lai's face flushed slightly: "Ah, senior sister..."

After Tinali left, Chen Bo returned with Kolai and Palavi.

"Anil, are you really confident you can beat those people from the Mysticism School?" Paravi asked with some concern. "I heard that Kavi, the shining star of the Mysticism School, is also involved in mentoring this year, so the competition will be fierce."

Kavi was indeed a shining example of the school of thought, but he was an architect. Although Kavi also possessed considerable knowledge of mechanical systems, it was not his primary research area.

To put it simply, like myself, I have a bit of a cross-disciplinary background.

On the way, they happened to run into Dolly, who was pushing a cart to sell her goods.

Upon seeing Dolly, Chen Bo couldn't help but look over curiously.

A huge banner hung on the stall, with a cute four-leaf clover pattern on it and four big characters written next to it: Auspicious Drink.

He mentally gave Dolly a thumbs up.

Dolly's efficiency is truly remarkable. In such a short time, she not only produced the finished product but also managed to create a very professional brand packaging.

With such strong execution, Dolly's success is not without reason.

"Let's go take a look." Chen Bo led Ke Lai and Paravi over.

Lucky Drinks is doing very well, and Dolly's place is also very busy.

However, her sharp eyes immediately spotted Chen Bo in the crowd: "Oh my! Isn't this my most esteemed major shareholder, the one who can bring in countless Mora shares!"

Ke Lai and Palavi both looked at Chen Bo: Major shareholder?

Chen Bo smiled and said, "I developed the recipe for Jixiang Drink, and Dolly is my partner, responsible for sales."

Jixiang Drinks is indeed profitable.

Therefore, Dolly was very enthusiastic towards Chen Bo: "Demand is out of reach, demand is out of reach! Every batch of auspicious drinks produced will sell out in a short time."

"The faster the production, the faster it sells. The young lady of the Huma family wants to order even more in bulk. They're making a killing, making a killing!"

Chen Bo took out Mora and said, "Give me three bottles too."

Dolly didn't take Mora's drink, but instead skillfully took out three unopened bottles of auspicious beverage and handed them over.

"Come on, come on, the major shareholder is here for an inspection, these bottles are on me!"

Chen Bo took the bottle and examined it.

The bottle has a rounded shape and feels great to hold.

He casually uncorked the cork and handed it to Cole: "Try it, even the Sumerian people say it's good."

Cole carefully took the bottle. Watching the tiny bubbles rising inside, she asked curiously, "Is this...is this wine?"

"I can't drink alcohol."

Chen Bo laughed and explained, "Don't worry, I promise it has nothing to do with alcohol."

Ke Lai took a sip; the sweet, not-too-cloying fruity aroma mixed with the scent of grass made her feel refreshed.

"How amazing..." Ke Lai exclaimed softly, "It tastes so good."

Paravi tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful, letting out a long, satisfying sound: "My God, Anil, how did you come up with this? This tastes a hundred times better than those bitter energy drinks!"

"Not only does it taste good, but it also makes me feel much more energetic."
