Chapter 27 The Mouse's Provocation to the Cat

Disma's life at the factory this week was not smooth.

If Disma lived in modern times and worked as a laborer on a construction site and had a little education, he would have kept a diary.

"The foreman on the construction site was harsh today, the bricks were extra hot, and the rich woman didn't show up."

But now he could only sigh at his extremely low points in the tavern, unable to utter a word.

He was criticized again for his work today.

After accepting Fang Yi's cooperation proposal, this bandit, whose educational level was not much better than that of an illiterate, worked as a steam smelter with Fang Yi.

Before entering the factory, the robbers did not realize that this was a job that required a lot of skills and experience, and they did not have an accurate understanding of its difficulty and technical requirements.

Then, after Fang Yi watched the steam smelter work for a few days, he mastered the Juncheng maintenance process through learning, and understood the assembly process of the steam gun used by the samurai, and began to earn points.

The robber, who felt uncomfortable wandering around, actively participated in the labor and transformed himself into a steam smelter in order to pay back the 100 points he owed Fang Yi as soon as possible and also wanted to get a steam gun of his own.

Then, I finally realized that this job was not something I could do.

First of all, the understanding of Juncheng components and the mastery of work processes were clearly beyond Disma's capabilities.

Disma's low level of education made it difficult for him to understand the structure of a steam locomotive, and he was not aware of some of the details and precautions required to inspect and repair Juncheng.

After working for a few days, the supervisor found that he was not able to do this job and seriously slowed down the team's efficiency, so he sent him to assemble steam guns.

Out of consideration for Fang Yi's kindness, the supervisor assigned him a steam smelter to teach him. However, this steam smelter clearly harbored hatred towards the nobles.

He deliberately complicated the wording for the components, was vague when asked about the work process, and answered his own questions irrelevantly, showing no intention of teaching him at all.

All of this led to Disma's learning progress stagnating and his work efficiency being extremely low, although no one directly criticized him for Fang Yi's sake.

But he was always sarcastic and indirect invective, especially towards the steam smelter beside him, who was also his target - Ikoma.

In order to keep his promise and not want to owe Fang Yi any more favors, Disma simply endured it silently, but he was already thinking about how to kill this target in his heart.

But obviously, this kind of life will have to continue for some time before Fang Yi gets what he wants.

Disma ordered another glass of wine and began to calculate when he could pay off the 100-point debt.

Then he saw Wang Zhen, Li Gui and the leader of another small group discussing something in the corner, acting a little sneakily.
-
Ikoma was very dissatisfied with these two fallen nobles who were parachuted in to experience the life of a steam smelter, especially after a certain day, this hatred exploded.

He has always had a subtle dissatisfaction with the nobles. In his view, the nobles are weak and useless, who only dare to hide in the fortress and Juncheng, relying on backward steam guns to defeat sporadic Kabane transport supplies.

He will also decisively abandon his companions who have been bitten. In his opinion, this kind of survival at the expense of others is the result of cowardice.

He hated these cowards, and at the same time, he hated himself for running away while his sister was being eaten by Kabane in front of him.

Furthermore, he wanted to be a "hero" who would never retreat or escape. He was confident that as long as he had the status and power of a noble, he could save everyone.

At the same time, he disdained the steam guns and lead bullets used by the samurai and guards. In his opinion, such weapons, which would be easily bounced off by the heart's steel membrane when hitting Kabane's heart, were completely unnecessary to equip.

Once the great idea in his mind is realized, he will become the hero who defeats Kabane.

Therefore, whenever he had free time, he would use the excuse of assembling steam guns to secretly intercept and withhold materials for his own research on jet bullets.

Then, his grand plan was disrupted by the arrival of these two nobles.

After the nobleman who called himself Fang Renyi and his follower Disma visited the work process and asked his supervisor to appoint him to teach, the young man's hatred and dissatisfaction with the nobles became even more serious.

What kind of people attract the most hatred?

Of course, it was the relatives, especially those who were not working. After a certain day, some inexplicable extreme thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, causing his hatred for Fang Yi and his followers to grow exponentially.

It's just that he was born into a good family and has a good appearance. While you are busy with work, this person can stay aside and do nothing, observing your learning process like observing a monkey.

He also kept asking questions about some basic principles that even monkeys could understand. When he encountered problems, he would ask himself questions over and over again, interrupting his great idea of ​​jet bombs.

Even when I tried to use all kinds of vague concepts and words to fool him, I was immediately pointed out. In the end, I was called out by the supervisor for individual criticism, and I lost face in front of my colleagues and friends.

All of this made Ikoma increasingly hate the nobleman named Fang Renyi, but with his impeccable work ability and amazing learning speed, Ikoma could not find an excuse to mock or humiliate him, so he had to suppress his anger in his heart.

So, when the supervisor later asked him to teach another fallen nobleman, named Disma, the assembly techniques of steam guns.

He vented all his dissatisfaction on the noble's somewhat silent follower.

He pretended to be deaf and dumb, and used various methods that he thought were clever to punish the nobleman slightly.

At the same time, seeing that he was unaware and still working clumsily and slowly, Ikoma was secretly delighted.

What noble? He's nothing more than a mouse in my palm. Is he worthy of working alongside me? He's also preventing me from secretly intercepting materials for research, blocking my path to becoming a hero.

Ikoma was thinking about how to continue humiliating Disma, but he found that Fang Yi was happily communicating with his friend [Chengsheng].

[Why is Chengsheng talking to him? Doesn't he know I hate him? Chengsheng must be taken away.]

Ikoma thought so, but he didn't dare to move. He had seen Fang Yi use his fists to punish workers in the factory who looked down on him because they relied on their strength, and he didn't want to get beaten.

[I'll tell Chengsheng later that he must stay away from me.]

He thought about it and decided to back down.
-
After Fang Yi entered the factory, he specifically asked Ikoma to teach him, naturally in order to improve his friendship and obtain the jet bomb technology.

But unfortunately, Fang Yi and Ikoma seem to have a very bad compatibility, which results in the [Supernatural Gravity] talent failing to obtain a high basic friendliness.

Moreover, the values ​​and attitudes of the two made Fang Yi give up the cold shoulder after the first contact, and he started to improve the friendship with the reckless, self-righteous, and inexplicably disliked original male protagonist.

Fang Yi is a person who likes to "take the long way around". He clearly remembers that this jet bomb was developed by Ikoma and his fat friend Chengsheng.

You can completely bypass this annoying and doomed protagonist and try to improve the friendship level of his friends who are easier to communicate with, and see if you can save the situation in a roundabout way.

As for Ikoma, she is neither a beautiful woman nor a strong man, nor does she have any skills worth acquiring. She even has a conflict with her favorite general, Disma, the "Kanyu of the Iron Fortress".

As long as he gets the plan to make the jet bomb and ensures that it is foolproof, he will be completely useless. He will not kill him, but he will not stop Disma from completing his mission - to kill Ikoma.

Fang Yi was thinking this while trying to get closer to Chengsheng when he heard the supervisor talking to the warrior.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw [Jiuzhi Laixi], the loyal warrior (licker) of Shifangchuan Ayame.

Then it goes without saying who came here.

【The "popular vase" I ordered has finally arrived. 】

"Mr. Sifangchuan Changpu, what brings you here?" the supervisor asked earnestly and politely.

Shifang Chuan Changbu unfolded the ornate short gun wrapped in layers of silk cloth and replied in a gentle voice, "This is my father's short gun. There was a problem with it, so I thought about it and brought it here early to take a look."

The supervisor turned around, cleared his throat, and raised his voice to the steam smelters, "Who knows the most about the structure of the hand cannon? Come and take a look."

Fang Yi looked at Sifang Chuanchangpu and felt that all his plans were coming to an end.
-
ps: There are still a few chapters left before the peaceful ending. The author is asking if one or two more chapters can be released every day to complete the transition earlier.

In addition, there is a reason why Ikoma is so "abnormal", and he is not deliberately made ugly to replace the protagonist.
