My family runs an adventurer's guild.

His Majesty the Dragon King gave him a strange look. "...Do you expect me to levy taxes on the Church of Hypnos? No, that would break the rules. Unless it's a truly dire situation, no poor king in this world would dare to casually ask the temple for money! Besides, the Church of Hypnos doesn't actually have much money these days—their income is all going towards expanding and building more temples, and they can't afford the gold and gems from the OVERLORD game world..."

"...Your Majesty, I am not referring to the game 'OVERLORD,' but to the newly arrived delegation from another world. It is the delegation that you just summoned and is expected to arrive at the palace tomorrow."

The Finance Minister explained, "...during their stay in Totoro Town, they provided many useful technologies. If these technologies can be promoted, they should be able to develop into several very good industries, providing more tax revenue for the country... This is a report from the Totoro Town City Hall; please take a look."

As he spoke, he took a beautifully bound scroll of parchment from his pocket and presented it to His Majesty Alaric with both hands.

"...Hmm, let me see... Milk powder that turns milk into solids? Pasteurization for preserving milk and wine? Methods for making potato flour? Bleaching powder for purifying wastewater? Pearl farming? My God, I can almost see countless gold coins bouncing around! So many good things, and that orange cat named Tony Stark gave them all away without asking for a single thing?"

After receiving the report and glancing at it briefly, King Alaric, the Dragon King, immediately looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer with surprise. Upon receiving an affirmative nod, the Dragon King finally became excited and revealed a pleased smile. "...What a rare good person—no, a good cat! Prepare a medal immediately; I'll award it to him tomorrow! This orange cat named Tony Stark might just become the hero who saves the kingdom's finances!"

(Tony meow! The title "Hero of Two Worlds" is up for grabs. The last person to hold this title was Lafayette.)

Chapter 248, Thousand Sails City

The golden rays of dawn, filtering through the dissipating mist, fall upon the bay, the beach, the fields, and the hills.

At the end of a wide, flat road, on a plain between mountains and the sea, stands a magnificent city.

This is Thousand Sails City, the capital of the Golden Dragon Kingdom with a population of 300,000, the largest port in the entire New World, and the largest metropolis.

Unlike the medieval cities that are commonly associated with, Thousand Sails is a city without walls.

Since all the factions in this fantasy world have some flying units, the defensive function of the city walls is relatively limited. In addition, the Golden Dragon Kingdom is quite confident in its own military strength, so it simply abolished the city walls of the capital, Thousand Sails City, and built only a simple fence as the boundary between the city and the suburbs.

Instead, towering anti-aircraft towers have sprung up everywhere on the city's outskirts. These towers are staffed not only by resident sentries and mages, but also by magic cannons and rapid-fire crossbows used for anti-aircraft fire. It is said that they once slew a rebellious dragon in battle.

These air-raid shelters, or rather, magic towers, are all built using locally abundant basalt. They average over seventy meters in height, making them quite magnificent and impressive. Their sturdiness is also undeniable. Under the sunlight, they exude an aura of majesty and solemnity. Although they cannot compare to the skyscrapers of modern Earth, in this relatively underdeveloped world, these magic towers are absolutely magnificent and awe-inspiring.

"...Meow! Looking at these magic towers, I finally feel a bit like I'm in a magical world."

Riding atop the back of the giant hamster [Kurasuke], who was now slightly out of breath after a night of travel, and gazing at the distant city of towering towers, Lord Tony Garfield, the Great Technician Stark, remarked. The other upright cats of the Earth expedition team beside him nodded in agreement. This left the burly cat-eared coachman, who had originally intended to boast to these foreigners, feeling rather awkward.

There's no way around it. Due to the huge difference in productivity, many architectural wonders that were built with the full strength of the nation in ancient times have become ordinary things in modern times, and they can't be awe-inspiring at all!

(The most typical example is the so-called megalithic ruins in Peru, South America. Without any comparison in the photos, they look huge, but in reality, the so-called "Sun Gate" is about the size of a security door, and the megalithic plaza is only the size of a basketball court—it would be cramped even with a hundred people standing there. Even the grand halls of the Forbidden City are often not as spacious as the lobbies of some hotels in second-tier cities.)

Although no defensive walls were built around the city, Thousand Sails City still had a massive city gate constructed of pure white stone, decorated with many exquisite reliefs. However, there were no walls around it, no moat in front of it, and not even doors; just a single gate opening standing there all alone—essentially a purely decorative triumphal arch. The royal garrison, responsible for patrolling and maintaining order, had placed barricades, erected notice boards plastered with wanted posters, and set up makeshift toll booths inside each triumphal arch, collecting tolls from citizens wishing to enter or leave the city, and incidentally checking for fugitives.

However, as distinguished guests specially invited to the palace by His Majesty the Dragon King, the upright cats of the Earth expedition team obviously did not need to go through such trouble. After being ridden all night, and now with two orange cats sitting on his head, Cangzhu spat out a magic token from his cheek pouch and waved it in front of the gatekeeper. The group of kobold soldiers guarding the gate immediately moved the wooden barricades that served as roadblocks with trepidation, and then knelt on one knee to welcome the distinguished guests into the city.

Entering the city from the triumphal arch in the east, you will soon see the central avenue of [Thousand Sails City].

Aside from the winding and chaotic dock area due to the coastline, most streets in Thousand Sails City have very simple and straightforward names. All east-west roads are called "Avenue X," and all north-south roads are called "Main Street X." The two main cross-shaped roads that divide the city are called "Central Avenue" and "Central Main Street."

The central avenue of [Thousand Sails City] is another feature distinct from medieval European cities on Earth—unlike those ancient European cities with their narrow, winding streets, [Thousand Sails City]'s main thoroughfares are exceptionally wide, designed to accommodate the Golden Dragon Clan royal family, allowing them to stroll freely within their capital. The widest sections, the "Central Avenue" and "Central Street," are large enough to accommodate ten carriages side-by-side, comparable to an airport runway on Earth. The other streets and avenues are also four-lane wide.

The main roads are generally paved with cement—the Dragon Roar Volcano behind the capital provided ample building materials for [Thousand Sails City]. Between the main roads, there are still crisscrossing paths paved with stone slabs. Alongside the main roads, there is a dense network of elevated stone canals of varying widths, with clear streams flowing down from distant mountain sources, transporting clean drinking water to most parts of the capital. Most residents of the capital can easily fetch water by simply opening their doors, walking along the paths, and reaching the main road.

If one had to point out any shortcomings in the cityscape of Thousand Sails City, it would probably be the lack of greenery. There are no roadside trees or flower beds on either side of the streets, and apart from the gardens of some villas and the flower pots on the balconies of residential houses, it is difficult to see any greenery in Thousand Sails City. However, this is mainly because the city residents of this world simply do not have this awareness: there are lush forests outside the city, so why would the city need roadside trees?

And so, the cats of the Earth Exploration Team, commenting on the streetscape of [Thousand Sails City], slowly made their way along the central avenue, finally arriving at the very center of [Thousand Sails City], at the intersection of "Central Avenue" and "Central Street".

This is an extremely spacious square plaza, at least one kilometer long on each side, and in the center of the plaza stands a dazzling, ultra-luxurious palace. Even those of us with the vast knowledge of Earthlings cannot help but hold our breath and stand in awe.

Because this palace is so luxurious, it's practically a giant jewelry box!

The high platform foundation made of white marble, the imposing rows of columns, the tall and magnificent circular dome... these are all normal. But what's truly remarkable is that the massive stone pillars of this palace are covered with an extremely ornate layer of gilded brass plates, polished to a mirror-like smoothness and gleaming. The edges of the brass plates are inlaid with reliefs of flowers and vines!

The enormous coat of arms in front of the palace gates, over ten meters in diameter, was made of colored enamel and set under the eaves with a gold base. The roof tiles seemed to be inlaid with gold dust, shimmering dazzlingly in the sunlight. The exterior walls were covered with ornate gilded murals and reliefs, as well as metal statues inlaid with pearls and gemstones—a breathtaking display of opulence. Under the autumn sun, it was dazzling even from a distance.

Such dazzling jewels and opulent jewels loom over you with an overwhelming sense of wealth, inspiring awe in all who behold them.

In short, the upright cats of the Earth expedition team, who were all filled with awe, put away their slackness and began to tidy their appearance in preparation for entering the palace to pay their respects... However, to their great surprise, after they were ready, the leader, Kurasuke, did not stop outside the palace gate. Instead, he turned a corner, bypassed the palace, entered the central avenue running north-south, and continued walking north.

"...Wait, Mr. Phil, why didn't our convoy stop to go into the palace? Does His Majesty the Dragon King not intend to receive us in the palace?" Tony Stark asked Phil beside him, somewhat bewildered, as the magnificent, ultra-luxurious palace gradually disappeared behind them.

"...But we haven't reached the palace yet, meow! That building in the city square isn't the palace, it's the temple of the Goddess of Wealth!"

Chapter 249, Good Cat Tony

The most luxurious building in the entire capital city of Thousand Sails, or rather the entire Golden Dragon Kingdom, is not the palace of His Majesty the Golden Dragon King Alaric-Ingram, but the New World Main Hall of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth located in the city square of Thousand Sails... This is truly a sad fact for dragons.

However, this is the norm in this world. As a goddess who governs wealth and trade, the church of the goddess of wealth in any city spares no expense in building extremely luxurious and magnificent temples. They also usually try to match the decorative theme by embedding various precious metals and gems in the walls, roofs and columns, carving exquisite patterns and sculptures, and even painting murals made of gold or silver powder.

As long as they have the financial means, the priests of the Goddess of Wealth will spare no expense to decorate the temple in a luxurious and extravagant manner, ideally to the point of plundering the heavens, such as paving the ground with gold sand, building bridges with silver, and covering the walls with gold leaf, so that people will never forget it after just one glance.

The main purpose of the God of Wealth Church's extravagant and wasteful lifestyle is, to a large extent, to flaunt the temple's wealth, demonstrate its reliability, and win the trust and cooperation of commercial organizations, wealthy and powerful people around the world. In a sense, the God of Wealth Church is less a religious organization and more a financial organization with global influence, and it is basically a monopoly.

Every temple dedicated to the goddess of wealth openly operates businesses such as financing and lending, currency exchange, and safekeeping of valuables. Some temples of the goddess of wealth also secretly provide channels for criminal gangs to sell stolen goods. These lucrative businesses enable them to lavishly spend on the decoration of their own temples—this is true even on Earth, where most of the most impressive buildings are either banks or government buildings.

Of course, no matter how wealthy or powerful a financial organization may be, it cannot stand up to the world stage where the strong prey on the weak if it does not have sufficient and reliable military support.

Just like the Jews of medieval and modern Europe, no matter how much money they amassed through various cunning means such as buying and selling short, hoarding and speculating, they were still just ATMs and easy prey in the eyes of the powerful. As soon as an anti-Semitic campaign was launched, they would instantly be exposed for what they were...

Of course, because the Church of the Goddess of Wealth has the support of the true God, its situation in this world is naturally better than that of the Jews.

However, there are many true gods who can be compared to the Goddess of Wealth, and the Church of the Goddess of Wealth has never been known for its warlike nature.

Therefore, in general, although the Church of the Goddess of Wealth is keen on flaunting wealth, it is far less unscrupulous in its exploitation than modern financial tycoons. It doesn't dare to use many underhanded methods, so its reputation is relatively acceptable.

In short, the expedition team of upright cats from Earth circled around the city square of the capital city of Thousand Sails, where the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth is located, before turning north and entering the central avenue that runs north-south.

— To the south of Thousand Sails City lies a bay and docks, while to the north are the remnants of Dragonroar Volcano. Therefore, the further north you go from the city, the higher the terrain becomes, and dragons, generally like cats, prefer to stay in high places.

Therefore, His Majesty the Golden Dragon King Alaric-Ingram's palace is located at the end of the central avenue, at the northernmost point of the entire [Thousand Sails City], on a natural plateau hundreds of meters above the city center. The palace itself is not particularly luxurious, lacking elaborate carvings or gold and silver decorations on the exterior, but the buildings are absolutely magnificent, and the roads and courtyards are astonishingly large—to accommodate so many dragons, each fatter than an elephant and stronger than a tank, living a life of luxury and comfort in this palace, how could the rooms and corridors not be built on the scale of a five-star hotel lobby?

We can't let His Majesty the Dragon King feel like he's sleeping in a capsule hotel and playing "squeeze games" with the Queen!

"...It feels like a combination of an international airport and a large stadium... It's a bit different from the magical palace I imagined. But considering that the owner of this palace is not human, this architectural style seems understandable."

Looking at the vast and magnificent Dragon Palace, Tony Garfield Stark remained perched on the back of the giant hamster, "Kurasuke," and remarked to Garfield, "...When the little mice broke into a human villa, they probably felt pretty much the same way when faced with everything before them!"

Although the palace's exterior was simple, His Majesty the Dragon King's welcoming ceremony was very enthusiastic. Armored guards and servants in various attire lined the palace gates to greet him. Colorful flags, bearing the insignia of nobles, fluttered behind them.

As the more than four hundred cats of the expedition team jumped off the carriage, the court band began to play music to welcome them. The intoxicating melodies played by mandolins, tin whistles, violins, tambourines, snare drums, hand-cranked organs, and acoustic guitars, amplified by magic, gave people an indescribable wonderful experience.

At the end of the welcoming procession, the Dragon King and his family appeared: the golden dragon Ingram and his family in human form, looking much like ordinary white people from Northern Europe, except for their magnificent golden hair that shimmered with spiritual light and their golden eyes.

When the members of the Earth expedition team appeared in front of the palace gate, King Alaric, wearing a golden crown—who looked like a handsome, middle-aged man with golden eyes—even excitedly carrying a small box that looked like a gift, strode forward to greet them.

Seeing that His Majesty the Dragon King had actually come to greet her, the head of the Earth expedition team, an African American female politician who had transformed into a black cat, nodded in satisfaction. Then, she took a few steps forward with dignified composure, preparing to represent the advanced democratic civilization and receive the worship of the indigenous rulers of the inferior civilization.

However, His Majesty Alaric, the Golden Dragon King, didn't even glance at her. He walked straight to the two orange cats that hadn't yet jumped off the back of the giant hamster [Kamuku]. After a brief look, he grabbed the fatter of the two orange cats, pinched its paw, and shook it violently. "...This must be Mr. Tony Stark! I am Alaric Ingram. It's a pleasure to meet you, hero from another world! And I am very grateful for your selfless contributions to our people. To express my gratitude, please accept this Medal of Outstanding Contribution..."

As he spoke, he took the medal out of the box and put it around the neck of the dumbfounded Tony.

The African American female politician who turned into a mother black cat: "..." — Am I being ignored?

Chapter 250, Invincible Ultimate Skill

In the eyes of the intelligent dragon race, wealth, power, and prestige are the most important things in life.

As for which of these three is more valuable, that depends on the dragon's preferences.

However, no matter what, there are basically no dragons in this world that are not greedy for money. Whether they are benevolent or malevolent, they are all equally greedy when it comes to wealth.

Therefore, to the dragon, anyone who can bring money must be a good person, and a cat that can bring wealth is naturally a good cat as well.

—As an orange cat with Earth's technology and master-level engineering abilities, Iron Man Tony Garfield Stark is naturally the "perfect cat" in the eyes of His Majesty the Golden Dragon King Alaric, and deserves the most lavish hospitality.

Iron Man Tony Garfield, the Technician Stark, was somewhat flattered after receiving a warm welcome and showered with praise and compliments from His Majesty the Dragon King and the royal family. For a billionaire, genius scientist, and superhero like him, being flattered was nothing new. However, being fawned over by dragons, and a whole group of dragons at that, was still a rather novel experience.

In particular, the Golden Dragon King Alaric, who has become increasingly unscrupulous in recent years due to financial difficulties, went so far as to personally carry Tony Cat into the sky and fly around the royal capital [Thousand Sails City] three times in order to please Tony Cat, allowing Tony Cat to experience the thrill of being a dragon knight!

The Golden Dragon King Alaric is really going all out for his cute little money!

—If Iron Man Tony were still in human form, having him ride on his back might indeed make His Majesty the Dragon King Alaric quite uncomfortable. However, the Tony cat who has come to this world has become a chubby, round, orange Garfield cat… Dear readers, would you feel utterly humiliated and want to kill your cat just because it climbed on your head?

If someone were to be so petty about cats, they'd probably be considered crazy by everyone!

In short, he enjoyed the VIP treatment at the palace and even served as a dragon knight. Although Tony Stark, Iron Man, is known for his sharp tongue and arrogance, he is still grateful and knew what the other party wanted. So, he started working on the spot in the palace's guest room, effortlessly demonstrating techniques for making canned food, matches, and compressed biscuits, methods for producing simple fertilizers and pesticides, early camera manufacturing processes, and various gunpowder and explosive formulas. And he didn't just boast; he personally made the actual products on the spot, leaving everyone in awe.

—As expected of a core figure in the early stages of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the ultimate tech genius among tech geniuses, an omnipotent super scientist!

Meanwhile, His Majesty the Dragon King Alaric and his ministers were ecstatic—any one of the practical technologies generously provided by Tony the Cat could be a golden idea to create an entire industry chain if developed properly!

So, these canneries, milk powder factories, match factories, fertilizer plants, and pesticide factories... well, judging by their scale, they can only be described as workshops. So, who will actually run them? Naturally, those who are closest to the source will get the benefits first, like the Dragon King and his favorite ministers!

It's not right for everyone to get rich while His Majesty the Dragon King remains poor.

Then, the court mages of the Golden Dragon Kingdom initially harbored some resentment towards the special treatment that His Majesty the Dragon King Alaric bestowed upon Tony, the Garfield cat. In the eyes of these arrogant mages, those who couldn't use magic above level zero were inferior beings who didn't understand the truths of the world. Tony, this Garfield cat from Earth, was even more of an inferior species who couldn't even use level zero magic. Did he even deserve such preferential treatment?

However, in this world, the powerful are indeed omnipotent, and Iron Man Tony Stark is the chosen one blessed by the fortune of an entire universe. Even now, after being turned into an orange cat, he remains so. After being mocked by a passing magician, Tony borrowed a spellbook from the Dragon King and not only mastered magic of level five or higher in just a few days, but also figured out a way to combine technology and magic without a teacher. He created some impressive new inventions that amazed and humbled those arrogant magicians.

In addition, Tony Stark initially had some reservations about the fact that he had imparted all of Earth's technological knowledge and application technology to the ruler of the Golden Dragon Palace in another world, the leader of the Earth expedition team, and the African American female politician who had turned into a black cat.

She originally intended to use these items as bargaining chips to negotiate with the Dragon King and his courtiers for some benefits... although, due to her lack of understanding of the magical world, she herself was not yet sure what she should ask for...

To everyone's surprise, Tony, after being flattered a few times, revealed all his technical skills, thwarting all of the black cat's plans. She gritted her teeth and secretly resented him, labeling Iron Man Tony a "traitor" in her heart.

The problem is, this black female cat doesn't seem to have considered what makes you so deserving of Tony's attention as a bargaining chip.

Moreover, even if you could fool Tony Stark, these are ancient technologies developed as early as the 18th and 19th centuries, easily found through an internet search. Even with America's dominant position, could it really possibly block them?

Even if Tony refuses to teach them, surely Phil and the others can get it? At most, they just lack the practical skills and need to experiment repeatedly for a long time.

For example, if the Americans wanted to block things like nuclear weapons, lithography machines, five-axis machine tools, or chips, that would be fairly normal practice. But to release a rumor and announce a blockade on a small country's cement production capacity... that's just a joke!

Even Hamas, the Palestinian organization, which controls a tiny area of ​​Gaza that is bombed every few days, managed to build its own small cement plant! (Although I heard it was later bombed by the Israelis, it at least shows that the technology was working.)

However, this black female cat, who was used to being pampered by "political correctness" and regarded being unruly and unreasonable as her way of life, obviously did not have the above understanding. She actually went to Tony Stark in a huff to confront him, and immediately accused him of a bunch of crimes. Then, unsurprisingly, she had a big fight with Tony the cat, and they parted on bad terms.

Afterwards, His Majesty the Dragon King Alaric learned of the matter from Phil and discovered Tony's awkward situation. So he immediately announced that he was going to the Royal Hunting Grounds for a vacation and invited Tony to come as a guest, thus subtly separating him from those brainless companions.

As for the politicians and legal experts in the delegation who were of no use, they were left in the palace to chat idly with the Dragon King's foreign minister about some abstract issues: diplomats in this world are just as good at lengthy negotiations that are purely empty talk, nonsense, and time-wasting.

—In His Majesty the Dragon King's eyes, Tony, this technical genius who can bring him wealth, is far more important than the rest of the bunch of good-for-nothings.

Chapter 251, Iron Cat Hero: The Hand-Crafted Divine Weapon

As a man who can make his presence felt wherever he goes—well, no, now Garfield—Lord Tony Stark, even after leaving the Golden Dragon Kingdom's palace and arriving at the Hunting Grounds in the forest, didn't stop his master-level, super-flashy skills.

—West of the capital of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, between the southern coastline and the Dragon Roar Volcano to the north, lies a vast expanse of the Dragon Forest. His Majesty King Alaric has designated it as a hunting ground for his own recreation, prohibiting his subjects from entering the forest to cut down trees at will.

Therefore, under the warm autumn sun, this forest appears exceptionally lush and verdant, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and babbling brooks everywhere, making for a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

However, the Golden Dragon King Alaric is not the kind of extreme anti-civilization environmental terrorist, and the Dragon Forest is not a nature reserve. On the edge of this royal hunting ground lies the Golden Dragon Kingdom's largest steel and non-ferrous metal smelting center. Dwarf and human craftsmen use the lava and minerals of Dragonroar Volcano to smelt ores, process metals, forge swords, and cast various tools here.

The ever-restless Tony Garfield, the master craftsman Stark, immediately began to enthusiastically tour the dwarven artisans' metallurgical workshop upon arriving here... and was truly awestruck for the first time, for he finally saw technology here that didn't exist on Earth!

Just like in the legends, the dwarven artisans used geothermal energy for metallurgy!

And they even used volcanic lava to smelt iron! Modern humans, at best, only think about using geothermal energy to generate electricity.

—It seems there is no oil in this world at all, and coal mines are rare in the New World. The only coal mine within the Golden Dragon Kingdom's territory is located behind the Great Cliff, in Cold Harbor Town in the western wilderness. Due to the barrier of the Great Cliff, it is very difficult to transport the coal out.

Therefore, the Dragon Roar Volcano Smelting Plant on the outskirts of the capital mainly uses lava as its heat source, apart from some charcoal-burning furnaces.

With the help of human spellcasters and dragons, the dwarves cleverly used various rocks as insulation and fire-resistant bricks, using magic to keep warm and dissipate heat, and built canals flowing with lava in the caves.

Then, they used the heat of volcanic lava to process the ore, followed by refining the metal with fire magic, creating molds with earth magic, quenching and cooling with water magic, and even electroplating and automated production lines—alchemists created many specialized alchemical dolls to refine swords, jewelry, and armor, as well as pour molten iron or copper into molds. Meanwhile, necromancers summoned numerous skeleton soldiers to perform the most dangerous and arduous tasks, such as opening furnaces, firing cannons, quarrying, and sealing breaches…

As Tony and Phil braved the oppressive heat to enter the semi-underground workshop, they heard many dwarves excitedly drinking spirits and singing as they hammered away at the blacksmith: "...Boom boom boom boom, gunpowder explodes, chiseling rock; hoo-hoo hoo-hoo, rock burns and turns into steel; thud thud thud thud thud, I'll turn iron plates into armor..."

"...Ah, this place really feels so familiar, it makes me feel like I'm back in that cave in Afghanistan, meow! Even though we already have industrial robots like Golem, why are they still shirtless and wielding hammers? Showing off their muscles and acting as bodybuilders?"

Tony said to Phil, "...These dwarves are drinking and forging at the same time? How can the quality of the products they forge be accurate? What are their safety procedures? Do they all think they're geniuses like me?"

"...Well, as far as I know, the quality of weapons and equipment crafted by dwarven artisans is indeed a mystery."

Phil shrugged and replied, "...Because they don't have the custom of recording and summarizing, they're used to relying on feel when crafting things. Even the master craftsmen who create divine artifacts rely seven parts on experience and three parts on luck... The so-called 'dwarven forging is always of the highest quality' is actually because the dwarves carefully inspect their work before shipping, picking out the substandard pieces and melting them down—what's left are naturally all high-quality pieces..."

"...Tsk tsk! How can such a mystical industry work?! Even magic needs to be based on scientific logic!"

Tony shook his head. "...Looks like I'll have to show off my skills..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

As a result, when Phil walked into the forging room of the steel workshop again a few days later, he could no longer recognize it.

— Magic-powered cranes and hoists appeared on the ceiling, magic-powered forging machines roared, molten steel sparked, and hard steel ingots changed shape under heavy pressure... It was as if the blacksmith shop in the medieval fantasy style had been upgraded to the appearance of a modern steel plant!

In a nearby room with a soundproof coating, Garfield the cat Tony is standing on a platform, teaching a group of dwarves below.

"...The most crucial point in creating standard operating procedures is to ensure they are standardized. Write down everything you have in mind on paper according to the specified format..."

"...So, if we do this, we can succeed no matter what we do?" a young dwarf asked, raising his hand.

"...This is just the first step towards success. Kid! So, you illiterate idiot, get out!"

Tony the cat turned around and flicked his paw, accurately throwing a piece of chalk at the young dwarf's forehead. "...Don't think I didn't see what kind of scribbles you did in your notebook! My knowledge isn't something an illiterate person can understand! Go learn to read before you come to my lesson!"

Amidst the laughter of the other dwarf trainees, this illiterate dwarf, who had been pretending to be a student, had no choice but to slink away in disgrace.

Meanwhile, Tony the Cat, standing on the podium, saw Phil peeking in from outside the door. He ordered the students to study on their own for a while, then strolled out to greet Phil. Before Phil could even explain his purpose, Tony proudly showed off his latest creation: a magical Iron Man suit tailored to his current Garfield-like size! Or rather, the Iron Cat suit!

Even after being transported to another world and transformed into a cat, Tony Stark remains the invincible Iron Cat!
