The steel Magic Conductor tractor headed toward the wilderness. It didn't go to the farmland, but instead came to an even harder-to-manage piece of undeveloped land.

In areas like this, the land was extremely uneven, bumpy everywhere. Even people walking on it faced some difficulty. Countless weeds and tree roots created huge obstacles. You could say human labor could barely develop it.

In the past, developing this area into farmland would require at least ten-plus years of manpower and resources before you could earn back the investment, maybe never earn it back.

But now, the situation was totally different!

After the rotary tiller component was installed, with huge rumbling and vibration sounds, the rotary tiller component started deep plowing on this wilderness. An area that originally needed a serf to work hard digging for several days couldn't even last ten seconds under the Magic Conductor tractor's power before getting pulled through, soil turned up.

Roster specifically had people install a huge rotary tiller component a full meter deep to ensure the plowing was deep enough, to make sure the Grano family realized that even clearing wasteland was super easy, let alone normal plowing.

Huge rumbling sounds kept coming, echoing through heaven and earth, just like the Grano family's hearts—couldn't calm down for a long time.

Generation after generation treating farming as a family creed, believing in the God of Harvest—the Granos clearly saw the future. But they never would've thought that what would change agriculture's future wasn't the God of Harvest, wasn't the God of Nature, but would actually be... the God of Technology!

Originally, even developing just one more acre of wasteland required huge manpower, resources, and effort. But now, you just had to drive the Magic Conductor tractor through, consume some magic power, and it was done!

This was still undeveloped area—what about already developed farmland? The speed would definitely be even faster, magic consumption even less. Plus, this wasn't just for plowing—sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, transporting, ditching, all of it worked. You just had to swap out that rotary tiller component.

They'd definitely been limited by their worldview, but after seeing this thing, their minds were still pretty flexible, instantly expanding lots of usage methods.

As for magic consumption, they didn't care how much magic it consumed. They'd already built self-charging magic arrays and Magic Power Networks anyway, so they could just charge for free! What was there to worry about?

The Granos knew better than anyone that a new era had really come. The era of steel, the era of Magic Conductors, had really arrived!

Watching Count Grano's expression, the corners of Roster's mouth curved up even more.

He came personally this time naturally because this matter was extremely important.

First, he could use the Grano family's reputation to complete agricultural Magic Conductor reforms, increase grain production and future cotton planting areas.

Second, he could quickly consume Roster territory's huge steel stockpile, accelerate Roster territory's industrialization.

Third, as Magic Conductor agricultural machines kept increasing, every territory focused on agriculture—no, any territory that hadn't transformed into Magic Conductor industrial factories would face an "unemployment wave." With tons of machines joining in, more serfs would inevitably lose their value. That way, they could provide huge populations to prepare for better industrialization.

Lots of benefits.

Of course, if he could incidentally convince Grano territory to purchase tons of Magic Conductor spinning machines, that would naturally be even more perfect.

The Grano family's reaction also made Roster realize his goal was basically achieved.

"Viscount Roster, how much does this Magic Conductor tractor cost?" Finally, Count Grano couldn't help asking. "And how many can you quickly deliver to me?"

"Not expensive, just 3000 gold shields." Viscount Roster smiled. "For the sake of our friendship, I can sell to you at cost."

"3000 gold shields?!" Count Grano's voice suddenly got louder. "At that price, I could buy 200 strong serfs, or 300 ordinary serfs!!!"

"But 300 serfs aren't as useful as a Magic Conductor tractor, right? The Magic Conductor tractor's efficiency is only faster than 300 ordinary serfs, not slower, and it doesn't need to eat or worry about getting sick." Viscount Roster's expression stayed calm.

Grano really wanted to say food didn't cost much—one serf ate one silver coin a month, one gold shield a year, would take 3000 years to eat through one Magic Conductor tractor... But thinking it over, you couldn't compare it like that.

Just like Viscount Roster said, one tractor equaled 300 slaves, which was ten years of slave rations... And he didn't have to worry about all the various serf problems...

"Count Grano, if funds are tight, we can also sell like we do with mining machines..."

Before Viscount Roster finished speaking, Grano exclaimed, "Oh! Viscount Roster, as the kingdom's Finance Minister, don't you know I, Count Grano, am one of the richest people in the Kingdom of Dawn? I want to purchase 10—no, 20 tractors, but I have one requirement—they must arrive in time for this year's planting."

Viscount Roster gave him a meaningful look but didn't say much, quickly confirmed the Magic Conductor tractor sale, signed the contract.

If the Magic Conductor tractor could go so smoothly, the druid potions he brought were naturally even easier. Just 13 copper coins could handle one acre's potion needs. Count Grano was even willing to use druid potions on all his farmland.

"I didn't expect the 13 copper coin price was actually real." After signing the contract, Grano couldn't help taking another look.

Viscount Roster shook his head, showing a serious expression. "I never joke in business. As you can see, druid potions that give soil more fertility only cost 13 copper coins. Weed-killing potions only cost 12 copper coins. Low-efficiency healing potions only cost 15 copper coins. Regular healing potions only cost 50 copper coins... The reason they're so cheap is because druid potion production in the Elf Kingdom has also completed partial Magic Conductor industrialization. These potions are all mass-produced using Magic Conductors... Stable quality, huge quantities, won't be excellent, but definitely won't have any defects. Quality rate, 100%!..."

"Elf Kingdom... Magic Conductor industrial production?" The shock on Count Grano's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by contemplation. He hadn't expected Viscount Roster would tell him all this, which gave him different thoughts about this deal. "If it's Magic Conductor production, I can understand that labor during production is extremely cheap, but shipping potions from the distant Elf Kingdom to our Dawn Kingdom... such a long route, even a rock would be super expensive by then, right?"

"That's why I said I'm basically not making money now, and I'm not joking." Viscount Roster smiled. "But after the trade route stabilizes, I can still make a little. Build reputation now, high volume low margin in the future."

"You really are... candid when doing business." After two seconds of silence, Count Grano finally came out with that.

He really didn't want to believe Viscount Roster's words. If Viscount Roster wasn't making money, how did Roster territory develop like this in just one Frigid Moon? Almost surpassing the Grano family's thousand years of accumulation! Maybe even surpassed their thousand years of accumulation.

But this price was just too good.

They also really didn't have the ability to complete deals with the Elf Kingdom. It seemed cooperating with Viscount Roster became the inevitable path.

The cooperation between both sides naturally became very smooth.

At the same time, a seed wanting Magic Conductor industrialization appeared in his heart.

But what was even smoother was the speed news spread.
