Lord of the Milky Way - C337
However, it was not easy to be a salesperson in the Mecha Transformation Store. The minimum requirement was Beginner Mecha Pilot.
You have to have enough expertise to serve your customers better.
Moreover, the units under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Honor definitely placed high quality in the first place.
Of course, the pay for work here must be exceptionally high in the eyes of ordinary people.
“Sir, may I ask, how do you plan to transform your Battle Mecha?”
The service personnel was a gentle young man wearing black-framed glasses. He looked to be about Xia Mang’s age.
Because of this, the salesperson was very polite to him. In fact, there was a sense of admiration in his politeness.
He knew very well that a person who had obtained a mecha license wasn’t just related to one another.
Obviously, the customer in front of him was a genuine Honorary citizen.
A Honorary citizen of such a young age was indeed outstanding enough in the eyes of ordinary people.
“It’s like this. I plan to make this mech more powerful, equipped with some sophisticated weapons, firepower, and self-circulating power systems.”
Xia Mang unreservedly stated his requirements.
“Self-circulating power system?”
Hearing this, the sales clerk sucked in a breath of cold air. The teaching material said that the self-circulating power system was the standard power system for the new model Battle Mecha.
However, the actual situation was not used that much, because the current power system’s price was still relatively expensive in the secondary star.
The so-called ‘self-cycling’ meant that the energy inside the mecha was in a state that bordered on perpetual motion. All types of energy were cycled over time without loss or loss.
Of course, this was only in theory. The research of the self-cycling power system with the true perpetual motion model was still in progress, and the results were still far off the mark. But in reality, this power system could greatly enhance the mecha’s energy capacity, making it exceptionally long.
With the help of highly concentrated energy, it was possible to travel long distances through space without any problems.
Therefore, when the sales clerk heard that Xia Mang was going to install a self circulating power system for his Battle Mecha, he knew that it was a huge business, and the young man in front of him was a rich man.
Therefore, he became even more spirited as he excitedly introduced, “Yes, sir, how may I address you?”
“Oh, my surname is Xia.”
Xia Mang did not use an alias.
Since they had to show their license and use their real names to modify the mecha, there was nothing to hide.
Hello, Mr. Xia. It’s like this. Our store has a total of six self-circulating power systems. Each system has a different maximum energy storage limit and a different driving force.
Xia Mang nodded his head: “I know a bit, I am a Beginner Mecha Pilot.”
“Oh, so you’re a mecha pilot as well.”
The salesman grew more and more surprised by the brilliance of his peers. He produced a list, and said, “Since you’re a pilot, I guess I won’t need to introduce you to the various parameters of the system. Take a good look.”
Xia Mang took the list, and Dongfang Lingfeng also walked over.
However, the latter emphasis was not on the various parameters, but on the prices at the very first row. He immediately took a deep breath and exclaimed, “Damn, Xia Mang, this is too expensive.”
“Haha, this is a very normal price for a mecha.”
Xia Mang laughed.
On the list, even the cheapest self-circulating system cost thirty million star dollars.
The most expensive price had already reached seventy million.
Of course, the comparison between the two parameters was also quite obvious.
The cheapest one only had the maximum power of 50,000 kilometers per minute, while the most expensive one had the terrifying speed of 30,000 kilometers per second.
Moreover, the energy storage limit of the latter was a full 1.5 times higher than the former.
This was more than twice the actual endurance of the ship.
Xia Mang put down the list, looked at the sales representative, and said, “Hello, I would like to ask, do you guys have a power system that can reach the speed of light?”
“Uh, sub-light speed?”
The salesperson seemed to suspect that he had misheard.
After calming down for a long time, he recovered a little, “Mr. Xia, you said that you need a self-circulating power system that can reach sub-light speed, right?”
Xia Mang nodded: “If there is, that would be for the best.”
The sales clerk was convinced that he hadn’t misheard. After a moment of consideration, he said, “Please wait a moment. This is beyond my scope of business. I’ll go in and help you contact the person in charge. He’s an advanced mecha pilot.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.”
Xia Mang nodded.
The salesperson then stood up and walked upstairs. About 10 minutes later, a chubby old man with white hair and a smile on his face came down from above.
It looked a little like the long-haired Maitreya Buddha, and it was very festive.
Therefore, Xia Mang had a very good first impression of him.
“Hello, Mr. Xia. Respected two star Honorary citizen.”
The old man smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand. “I am the vice-chief engineer of this mech modification shop. My name is Han Qiao Song, and the young people here are used to calling me Uncle Han.”
“Hello, Uncle Han.”
Xia Mang shook his hand, not surprised in the slightest that the other party already knew the truth of his Honorary citizen’s rank.
As soon as he entered, he discovered that there was a citizen’s information scanner installed at the entrance. It must have been to feed the citizen information of everyone who entered this place directly onto the computer of the manager of the modification shop.
This would help them determine if they were here to cause trouble, or if they were here to cause trouble, or if they were not from Honorary citizen and didn’t have the permission of a Battle Mecha.
For those who do not need to be received, there should be full savings in service resources.
Due to the limited staff available at the store, it was necessary to distribute the staff well and let those who needed services enjoy it. As for those who came to cause trouble, there was no need to pay attention to them.
These were all things from the Hall of Honor. The feedback was all controlled by the Hall of Honor’s super brain.
There was no need to worry about leaking personal privacy.
“I heard you want a self-circulating power system that can reach sub-light speed?”
“Yes, I’d like to know the price, if I may.”
Xia Mang did not deny it.
It would be convenient to have a self-circulating power system that allowed him to travel at the speed of light. He could use this mech to explore the secrets within the depths of the starry sky and speed up his growth.
Han Qiao Song seemed to see through his intentions. “You are planning to use it to travel through the universe?”
“Indeed.”
Xia Mang nodded his head, “If the Battle Mecha can reach sub-light speed, then I can use it to explore space.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Han Qiao Song understood. He considered the suggestion and said, “Then I suggest you not waste this much, because when the power reaches sub-light speed, it’s not that we can’t get it here, it’s just that there’s no need.”
“What do you mean?”
Although Xia Mang’s Battle Mecha theory was not bad, but compared to a genuine high level Battle Mecha Master, he was like the clouds and mud.
Han Qiao Song said, “Do you know how much this system is priced at here?”
“It should be very expensive.”
Xia Mang said in a heavy voice.
“Not bad, it is indeed very expensive.”
Han Qiao Song nodded. “Because we do not have the stock of systems that meet your requirements, we have to use quantum teleportation technology to pull them from the level one star.”
“So take the cost of quantum teleportation into account.”
“And according to your requirements, you should want this power system to be suitable for the mecha’s dimensional technology, so we need to add the design cost of the dimensional space technology and the materials cost into it.”
“If you count it this way, this set of systems would probably cost you 50 billion.”
Hearing that, Xia Mang suddenly opened his eyes wide: “So expensive!”
Although he was prepared in his heart, he did not expect that all his belongings would not be able to afford a self-circulating power system.
“Yes, and that’s my conservative estimate.”
“That’s why I feel that there’s no need. You can buy a better interstellar vessel, and then use a combat Battle Mecha to travel across the universe. Because the interstellar vessel’s volume is large, it’s easier to create a sub-light speed system, so the price is much cheaper.”
Xia Mang understood. “What you said makes sense.”
He was very thankful for Han Qiao Song’s sincere explanation of the proposal. After thinking for a moment, he took out Glory’s Battle Mecha core: “Please help me see what level this mech of mine can be modified to.”
Han Qiao Song took it and scrutinized it for a while. He was a little shocked. “This mech of yours doesn’t even have Space-level.”
Xia Mang nodded his head: “I won’t hide it from you, it is indeed so, but I have placed a lot of feelings towards this Battle Mecha.”
Han Qiao Song nodded his head in understanding. “That’s very normal. Our customers all have this kind of feeling. If I’m not wrong, this should be your first mech.”
“Indeed.”
Xia Mang did not deny it.
Han Qiao Song smiled. “No wonder you have such feelings.”
After saying that, he changed the subject. “How about this. I’ll open up the mech’s structure first and then restore the blueprints. After that, I’ll design and evaluate the blueprints to see what level I can get it to. What do you think?”
“Sure, I wonder how long it will take?”
“About three days or so. After the inspection, I will draw up a few plans for you to choose from.”
Han Qiao Song thought about it for a moment and gave a rough estimate of the time range.
Xia Mang immediately agreed to the request.
“Alright, then please keep an eye on the email. We will send you the design proposal through the Glory Hall’s system at that time.”
Han Qiao Song stood up and extended his hand. “Then, I wish us a happy cooperation.”
“Mm, sorry to trouble you, Uncle Han.”
Xia Mang politely held hands with him.
Ye Zichen walked out of the Mecha Modification Department.
Xia Mang and Dong Fang Ling Feng chatted as they walked.
What awaited them was the first Black Fist Challenge Tournament that followed right after.
