When Luke stepped on time to go to work the next day, he was greeted by a cloud of colorful fireworks and a large group of congratulatory congratulations from colleagues he knew and didn't know.

The whole floor burst into applause, attracting people from other floors to lean on the patio fence and look around.

Yesterday, after Luke was asked to do an interview by Valtarski, the deputy editor of Steamweekly, Mrs. Yolanda sent someone to the editorial office of Steamweekly.

Her decision proved to be wise, and the inquirer brought her more exciting news than she had ever imagined.

What a privilege it is for the editor-in-chief of Morson to personally write a column for this interview.

Then the Society of Steam Engineers sent a congratulatory letter congratulating Luke, a steam engineer at Harut Heavy Industries, on his promotion to a fourth-class member of the Society of Steam Engineers.

Mrs. Yolanda, the head of Harut Heavy Industries' steam technology department, is also a fourth-level member, and she is the only active fourth-level member in the entire company.

One can imagine how much Luke was valued by the editor-in-chief Morson, and the content of this interview must be of extraordinary significance.

This is an honor for Luke, and for the entire Harut Heavy Industries Steam Technology Division.

Mrs. Yolanda decides to host a welcome party for Luke.

In the midst of the group of Steam Engineers who greeted her, Mrs. Yolanda stepped forward with applause and said to Luke, "Let you all see your Certificate of Class 4 Membership in the Society of Steam Engineers. To be honest, I still can't believe what I received last night, thinking it was someone from the Society of Steam Engineers who was joking on me.

You won't be without it, will you?"

"Of course, I still need to register with the company." Luke took out his Level 4 membership certificate from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Lady Yolanda.

Mrs. Yolanda took it and looked at it carefully, then handed it back to Luke, and said with great emotion, "I can't believe what you talked about with the editor-in-chief of Morzon, so that he could personally write a letter of recommendation to the Society of Steam Engineers and handle your promotion.

You know, it took me 25 years to get from Level 1 to Level 4, and I don't know how many times I failed to apply.

What an envy!

Let's go, go to my office...... You have to rearrange your work in the future."

"Yes, Lady Yolanda."

The company's production is heavy, and the welcome party is over quickly, and the steam engineers talk about the blockbuster Luke as they go about their work.

Come to Mrs. Yolanda's office.

As soon as Luke was seated, Lady Yolanda said, "I'm curious what you've talked about with Editor-in-Chief Morsson, but the rules of profession make it inappropriate for me to inquire of you. If it can be made public, it should be seen in the new issue of Steam Weekly.

Let's talk about your work.

As a Level 4 member of the Society of Steam Engineers, the company will soon send someone to negotiate a new contract with you, and the Steam Technology Department will adapt to your requirements.

Say whatever you want, you have the power now."

"I want to continue to inspect the underground steam pipes," Luke said.

Mrs. Yolanda froze.

"Are you kidding? A Level 4 member of the Society of Steam Engineers inspects underground pipes...... Do you know what it means to be a Level 4 member in the Winter Capital?"

"Of course I do, listen to my thoughts, Lady Yolanda."

"Okay, you say!"

Luke made up a justification in order to secure the job so that he could complete the rest of the arcane ritual layup.

"There was nothing confidential about my conversation with Editor-in-Chief Morson, but it was mainly about the development of a two-phase steam engine for water molecules based on the internal thermal energy cycle based on the two-phase nature of water molecules.

The editor-in-chief of Molson would write to the owner of the company, Mr. Elvis, to open a steam laboratory for the two-phase steam engine of water molecules, and I would be responsible for the development of the new steam engine.

Preparations for the steam lab should take some time. Therefore, I would like to use this time to continue to admire the underground steam system of the winter capital, so as to complete the theory of the steam circulation system that I envisioned

text."

After listening to Luke's explanation, Lady Yolanda couldn't help but be in awe.

"So you've been working so the underground steam system of the Winter Capital. It's no wonder that Editor-in-Chief Molson thinks so highly of you, and that your dedication and seriousness to steam technology surpass all the steam engineers here.

Now that you have your future work planned, you can do whatever you want during your lab preparation.

It's just that...... Your security team will be reassigned and strengthened, and you will be an immeasurable asset to the company."

Speaking of the security team, Luke asked in passing, "Haven't you heard from Norton and Harry yet?"

Lady Yolanda shrugged: "There is no news, the military has issued a nationwide arrest warrant, but there has been no trace of them."

"Is Rebecca back?"

Mrs. Yolanda thought for a moment, "After negotiations between the company and the ice cave, the ice cave has returned a group of hired workers. It's just that Rebecca's name doesn't appear to be on the list of tasks that can be carried out by the security services.

After all, Norton, Harry, and her belong to the same security team, and the ice cave won't let her out easily.

These incompetent agents, having lost a number of people themselves, vent their grievances on innocent people. Don't worry, the company is still putting pressure on the ice cave, and Rebecca will be fine."

In fact, Luke had already gotten the information from the CIA intelligence station, and Rebecca was still being held in the ice cave. The ice cave agents interrogated her several times, but Rebecca didn't say anything, and she was punished for it.

At their doorstep, two teams of agents were eliminated in a row, and the ice cave agents were all holding their breath. And the so-called rebel army has never been found, and when the Harut company came to ask for someone, it was sneering at them.

The ice cave was forced to release a group of people under the pressure of the company, but the rest of the people were detained relatively tightly, and someone had to let them investigate this case.

After the company fished out most of the hired workers, it was not so concerned about rescuing the remaining people.

Rebecca can be said to have been abandoned by the company, even if she doesn't say anything, it is very likely that she will be charged with a crime and be taken to the ice cave in the end.

Luke was all too familiar with this kind of road.

"Lady Yolanda...... During my time on the job, Rebecca has been in charge of my close protection and she is a very professional and conscientious security guard. If I had someone else, I might not have fit.

Can the Steam Tech Department step in and save Rebecca out?"

Lady Yolanda thought for a moment about Luke's request, "Rebecca is from the security department, and if we in the Steam Technology Department come forward...... It's too high for her.

A low-level security guard, do you really need her?"

Luke said, "The Ice Cave is not a good place, and I want to give Rebecca some help."

Lady Yolanda looked at Luke and seemed to understand something. She smiled and said, "You've been working since you came to Dongdu, and you probably haven't been in contact with too many women. I advise you not to waste too much emotion on a low-level security guard, you are now a fourth-level member of the Society of Steam Engineers, even lovers should be well chosen.

When I have time, I will take you to some high-class parties, where there are many beautiful and well-bred young ladies."

Luke knew that Yolanda had misunderstood his relationship with Rebecca, and he replied, "Thanks, Lady Yolanda, I'm too obsessed with work. I really want to get Rebecca out......

"Since you're so insistent...... Yolanda took out a piece of paper and wrote quickly on it, finally smashing her own seal and handing it to Luke, "You can't go underground until your dedicated security team is in place, and there's no other job for you today."

Take my handwritten book to the Ice Cave HQ, and they'll give you Rebecca."

"Thank you very much, Lady Yolanda." Luke took the letter and put it in his official bag.

"Remember my advice to you and don't let your private life get in your way. When a new issue of Steam Weekly is released, you will become a celebrity in the winter capital

Win the star."

"I understand, ma'am......"

Luke leaves the company and hails a taxi on the side of the road to go to the Ice Cave headquarters. The Ice Cave agents following him looked at each other as they followed him to his lair, "What is he doing here?"

The Ice Cave Headquarters is encased in the middle by a high wall, with a power grid pulled up by the wall, and heavily armed Ice Cave agents on duty on the watchtower. Inside the walls is an agent training camp, and the core of the ice cave is underground.

Luke showed his ID and entered the ice cave through the gate.

This is a real ice cave, there is no internal heating system, and the people inside have to endure the same cold as outside. This is the working environment of the Ice Cave Agents, in order to hone the will of the Ice Cave Agents.

Even the ice cave agents have to endure such cold, and it is easy to imagine what the situation of the people who are being held here can be imagined.

After Luke handed Mrs. Yolanda's handwritten letter to the agents involved, he sat down on a cold bench and waited.

Not long after, a woman in an ice cave in-house uniform walked over with a cup of coffee.

"Hello, Mr. Luke, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Luke looked up.

The tight top cinches the slender waist, and the one-step skirt wraps the rounded hips. Flesh-colored ***, black boots......

If you dare to wear it like this, you must not be an ordinary ice cave agent.

Luke had already found the information of the woman in front of him in his phone library.

Darikova: An ace agent directly under Raymond Herkkin, the chief of the Ice Cave, and is much higher in rank than the dead Enoch.

Luke took the coffee from Darikova's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, beautiful young lady. It's the most wonderful thing to have a cup of hot coffee in this cold place."

Darikova sat next to Luke and looked at him with big blue eyes, "You can feel the heat emanating from you from a long distance, you are a powerful mage!"

Luke took a sip of his coffee, savored the delicate taste, and then replied, "If you want to be a good steam engineer, you must first be a good mage. Traditional steam technology can no longer meet the development of efficient steam utilization, and the combination of magic and alchemy can create a better steam engine.

I've been waiting for a long time when I'll see the person I'm looking for."

Darikova kept staring at Luke, her eyes full of emotion, but her words full of temptation: "Rebecca is preparing...... Before I do that, a few questions to ask you?"

Luke said, "Before you, an agent had already asked me questions. I don't want to answer it a second time, if there is any question, you can ask him."

"You're talking about Commander Enoch? He's dead!"

Darikova watched Luke's expression, waiting for his answer.

"Dead?" Luke frowned, "That's a shame."

"Do you want to know how he died?"

"I don't want to ......," Luke didn't follow Darikova's rhythm, he refused, "I don't want to have too much interaction with you people, your life and death have nothing to do with me."

Darikova threatened, "You don't seem to know who you're talking to. This is the Ice Cave, and I can treat you to hot coffee or ice coffee."

Luke summoned a ball of fire to heat up the coffee in his hand, and sneered, "You don't seem to know who you're talking to. Ice Cave Agent ...... It's just a dog raised by the superiors, and you can bring it with iced coffee."

Being derogated as a dog angered Darikova: "You can see that you really want to drink the iced coffee here."

Just as the fearless Luke was about to tease Darikova again, a reprimand came: "Darikova, what are you doing? Such disrespect to Mr. Luke!"

Hearing the reprimand, Darikova immediately stood up and saluted the approacher: "Chief!"

The person who came was Helkekin, the chief of the ice cave.

He came to Luke's front and angrily ordered Darikova, "Apologize to Master Luke!"

"Great, master?"

Darikova had a question mark on her face.

"This morning, the Society of Steam Engineers updated its membership list with a new member in the fourth tier, Mr. Luke.

If I hadn't come in time, do you know how much trouble you've gotten into?"

Darikova was a little dumbfounded.

Isn't he a first-class member of the Society of Steam Engineers? How did you suddenly become a fourth-level member?

Make a mistake!

After Herkkin's frequent glances, Darikova relented, and she saluted Luke: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Luke...... I apologize to you for my recklessness!"

Luke handed over the coffee in his hand, "This cup of coffee is too hot, give me an ice and send it over."

"Don't do what Mr. Luke says!" Herkkin chased Darikova away, then smiled and invited Luke, "Come to my office...... I'm a big reader of Steam Weekly, and tell me what you talked about with the editor-in-chief of Molson that made him think so highly of you."

Luke knew that it would not be a good thing for Herkkin to invite him to his office, so he said without giving face: "Anything I talk to the editor-in-chief of Morsson until the new issue of Steam Weekly is published is top secret.

Chief, the content of our conversation made me jump directly from the first level of the Steam Engineers Association to the fourth level, do you really want to hear it?"
