The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3647

Chapter 3647 Gloriana On Stage

Ves smiled as he observed the bustling crowd. He didn't need to read the status reports to know that the symposium was going well so far. The guests were largely happy and few expressed any obvious contempt.

The clan was also earning additional income by providing additional services such as selling astral beast meat and giving them a chance to experience the glows of a couple of Aspects of Lufa.

He even thought about making the Aspect of Rationality available as well for a much greater fee, but he deemed it too much of a risk. Who knew what people might get up to when they were stripped of all emotions and only retained their cold, hard logic.

Naturally, he did not spend a moment of thought on presenting the Aspect of Transcendence. Exploding heads was not a good way to earn a good review for his symposium.

He checked the time. Thousands of guests were making their way past the exhibits so that they could enter one of Dawn City's main attractions, the Theater of Joy.

While it was not as large as Twilight City's mech arena, the Theater of Joy could comfortably seat thousands of guests. It could fit hundreds of thousands more individuals through the use of floating seats.

Right now, those floating seats were necessary in order to accommodate the growing number of outsiders who came for the main event.

"It's almost time."

He originally wanted to invite more speakers to address the audience, but there were precious few people in the clan who were qualified to lecture about craftsmanship.

Aside from Ves and Gloriana, Ketis came close, but she was obviously not suited for these occasions.

He even thought about inviting Professor Benedict to hold a lecture. Having a Senior Mech Designer speak at his event would cause others to take it much more seriously.

The Cross Clan's head designer didn't stand out as an excellent craftsman, though. He didn't excel in creating masterwork mechs and he was much more interested in the research and design aspects of his profession.

In the end, Ves had little choice but to present two speakers today.

He would go last as his lecture was the most important. This was his best opportunity to appeal to the members of the Murphy Family that were tuning in to the broadcast today.

In comparison, Gloriana's speech was much less important. Ves just wanted her to speak in order to add a bit more meat to his symposium.

He also gave her the chance to appear on stage because he knew she would nag and complain at him if he denied her this opportunity.

After all, if her husband was qualified to lecture about craftsmanship, then why would she be any different? They possessed the exact same number of masterwork certificates!

Soon enough, Gloriana arrived in the backstage area of the Theater of Joy.

She carried Aurelia in one arm and hung her overpriced puelmer leather Hoenbach handbag on her other arm.

"Where have you been?"

"I've been entertaining a couple of ladies and taking care of our daughter. What have you been doing, hm? You must have spent all this time overlooking your domain while feeling satisfied that you managed to convince so many people to pay money to attend this hasty event."

"At least I managed to earn back the money you spent on that stupid handbag and more!"

"It's not a stupid purchase, Ves. You should have seen how those important women reacted to my strategic asset. They became a lot warmer towards me once I showed that I exist at the same level as them. That is worth more than the 120 MTA credits that I paid for this bag."

Ves rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say. It's almost time for you to hold your lecture. Please make sure you stay within your time limit. The people over there have short attention spans and aren't interested in revisiting their school days. Fifteen minutes and no more, okay?"

That elicited an ugly reaction from his wife.

"I can hardly say anything of substance in so little time! How dare you call this event a symposium when you want to keep our lectures short?! Do you think so little of your audience?"

"We are trying to fulfill multiple goals, today. In another circumstance, I might agree with you, but this time is special. We need to rally and motivate the more receptive members of the Murphy Family, and we won't be able to do that by boring them all to sleep by speaking for three hours straight!"

"Can't you at least extend my speaking time by another 15 minutes? I can fit a lot more substance in my lecture that way."

"Absolutely not!"

Ves had to threaten to cut off Gloriana's speech transmission in order to get her to accept the time limit.

"Fine then! Here, take care of Aurelia and my handbag for me. I will go out and speak whatever common sense about product development I can fit in 15 minutes. They'll need it in order to digest whatever nonsense you plan to say after my turn."

Ves eagerly received their daughter but was much less enthused about holding his wife's favorite article.

"Muuuu…. guuuwaguaawwwuuuu…"

Aurelia happily gurgled as she tried to reach out towards the handbag.

"The Little Angel." _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}
