Building A Business Empire From Scratch In Another World-Chapter 193 : Stormheart Blender

Morningstar Headquarters – Innovation Chamber

The circular conference room buzzed with murmurs as Astheria's finest craftsmen examined the strange blueprints laid across the obsidian table.

"Gentlemen, today marks the dawn of a new era in household convenience."

With a sharp flick of his wrist, Felix unfurled the parchment dramatically; it snapped flat against the obsidian surface.

A detailed diagram sprang to life: a cylindrical vessel adorned with serrated blades in motion and rune arrays spiraling like storm clouds around its core.

The masters leaned in closer.

"This," Felix declared confidently, "is the Stormheart Blender."

A hush fell over the room.

Master Keldrin,his beard streaked silver and monocle precariously perched on his nose squinted at the intricate design.

His finger traced along swirling glyphs surrounding the central chamber. "You're suggesting…"

His voice trembled slightly. "…that this device pulverizes foodstuffs using only rotational force?"

"Exactly!" Felix exclaimed, tapping enthusiastically on his illustration. "No alchemical reagents. No elemental spirits involved,just pure kinetic energy directed where it's needed!"

Nixie whispered to Clair beside her, "Sounds like a torture device."

Clair jabbed her quill into her notebook to underline Felix's claim while mouthing silently: pul-ver-izes ingredients. A shiver ran down her spine.

Blacksmith Goran was first to break through their stunned silence; his voice boomed like a hammer striking an anvil.

"Kinetic force? Don't mock us, kid! How does it move without a core or crank? Even enchanted cutlery needs some kind of power source!"

Felix's grin stretched wider than ever as he tapped the rune cluster etched near the gleaming blades before him.

"Behold, the Vortex Rune! Alone, it's a bit of a wild card. But paired with a Kinetic Amplifier sequence...."

"Impossible!" Runesmith Ulric nearly spilled his tea, his thin frame quivering in disbelief.

"A Vortex glyph feeding into an Amplifier would collapse instantly! The feedback would tear the chamber apart!"

But Felix was undeterred. With a smooth gesture, he glided his hand over the parchment.

"....unless you thread a Thermal Dampener between them. Using reverse-parallel etching,a dwarven sky-smith technique,it stabilizes the resonance. See?"

He pointed to spiral lines coiling like storm winds around the intricate rune matrix.

The masters leaned in closer, captivated by his explanation. Master Keldrin's eyes sparkled with wonder.

"Gods above… that dampener acts as a harmonic stabilizer! But this script,it's not from the Third Dynasty! Where did you uncover this?"

"Recovered from ancient dwarven archives," Felix replied confidently. "These are designs from skyforges meant to regulate airships, and I've adapted their etching pattern."

Goran leaned in, running a soot-stained finger along the blade schematic with awe. "So this storm rune channels motion into the blades… like capturing a whirlwind in a jar?"

"Exactly!" Felix beamed back at him. "It creates a self-sustaining cyclonic effect that's both regulated and safe."

"Safe?" Nixie muttered skeptically, raising an eyebrow. "Big whirling knives in a jar? Totally safe."

Blacksmith Torvin, broad as a bear and twice as gruff, jabbed a finger at the materials list with incredulity.

"Starfall steel blades? Forged from meteor iron? That's weapons-grade alloy!"

Felix nodded earnestly. "Exactly why it won't shatter under sustained rotational stress,the edges maintain molecular sharpness far beyond what normal steel can achieve."

Torvin narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "And phoenix feather filaments? For kitchen tools?"

Felix pointed to an inset diagram on the parchment showing thin hairlike strands wrapped around the chamber's interior, each linked to its own rune cluster.

"They serve as energy distributors! Each filament absorbs and channels stray surges like miniature lightning rods; without them, mana flow could destabilize."

Ulric swallowed hard at this revelation. "So even someone inexperienced… even a child… could operate it safely?"

Felix inclined his head thoughtfully. "That's precisely my aim."

Clair scribbled furiously, her lips pressed into a thin line. "Child. Whirling blades. Safe? My hand disagrees."

Suddenly, Runesmith Jorvik, his fingers stained with ink and his eyes glinting like daggers, gasped in realization.

"Wait! This secondary cluster,don't tell me…"

Felix's smile turned sly as he leaned forward. "A self-cleaning invocation! Triggered by a secondary pulse, it flushes the chamber with mana-sterilized water vapor that evaporates instantly,leaving no residue."

And just like that, the room erupted into chaos.

Master Keldrin's monocle fell into his tea with a splash. "By the Twelve Towers,self-cleaning?"

Torvin clutched his beard in disbelief. "Blasphemy!"

Ulric threw up his hands in excitement. "Do you understand what this means? No more scrubbing charred porridge from pots!"

Nixie blinked innocently. "Wait… you invented a snack machine that cleans itself? Big bro, are you a genius or evil?"

Clair muttered under her breath, "Possibly both."

Debate fractured instantly into chaos. This update is available on novel{f}ire.net

Blacksmith Goran slammed the table hard enough to rattle the scrolls. "With this invention, tavern kitchens will outpace royal banquets!"

Master Keldrin's voice trembled with urgency.

"Think bigger! Potion masters could blend reagents without risking uneven fusion! Alchemists could stabilize compounds in seconds!"

Ulric's eyes sparkled with wild ideas. "Even military applications! Rapid rations processed for entire battalions,nutrient paste ready in minutes!"

Nixie raised her hand timidly amidst the uproar. "Um… or smoothies?"

Everyone turned to stare at her.

She shrugged nonchalantly. "You know... fruit, milk, ice,all blended together for something smooth and delicious!"

Goran muttered "smoothies?" as if she had suggested treason.

Felix clapped his hands together enthusiastically. "Yes! Smoothies!"

Time ticked by as debate morphed into frenzy; schematics became battlegrounds for heated arguments.

Torvin banged his fist down on the table. "The frostglass housing must be at least three knuckles thick! Otherwise, the mana surge will crack it like an eggshell!"

Ulric shot back fiercely, "Thicker walls increase resonance drag! Two knuckles and a half,no more!"

Jorvik jabbed his quill emphatically at the blueprints before him. "Invert the tertiary glyphs and efficiency rises by twenty percent!"

Ulric scribbled furiously, his quill racing across the parchment. "Add a failrune! It must deactivate if someone tries to blend mithril!"

Nixie raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Why on earth would anyone..."

Torvin grunted, cutting her off. "You'd be surprised what drunks will try."

Clair's quill snapped under the pressure of her thoughts, ink splattering across her notes like a chaotic masterpiece.

She groaned and reached for another quill, determined not to let frustration win.

As twilight cast its enchanting glow through the crystal windows, voices grew hoarse with excitement and fatigue.

Scrolls lay scattered around the room, covered in frantic corrections and half-mad calculations,a testament to their wild brainstorming sessions.

Finally, Master Keldrin rose from his seat. His face, etched with age and wisdom, glistened with unshed tears as he placed trembling hands on the blueprint before him.

"Young Morningstar," he whispered reverently. "This isn't just a tool; this is art."

Torvin grunted in agreement, though he couldn't hide the grudging respect in his eyes. "Aye. An art that'll bankrupt the cutlery guilds."

Nixie tugged at Felix's sleeve playfully. "Big bro, I think you broke them again."

Clair set down her quill with a sigh; her hands ached from overuse.

"If this keeps up," she said wryly, "Astheria won't need wars anymore,you'll collapse the economy one kitchen at a time."

Felix leaned back in his chair, satisfaction radiating from him as the storm of debate raged on around him.

The Stormheart Blender had been born,not yet forged in steel and rune but alive in the minds of Astheria's greatest innovators.

Outside, stars began to pierce the darkening sky like diamonds scattered across velvet.

Inside, however, chaos reigned as masters raged and dreamed together,their voices echoing through the chamber like thunder rolling across distant mountains.
