Chapter 504 - To Buy A Car Or A Mecha? (2/2)

“h.e.l.lo, Senior Brother!” he said.

“Hey, Junior Brother, what can I help you with? You wanna join the Mecha a.s.sociation?” Zhang Yang asked, going through his usual script.

The Mecha a.s.sociation was actually the most unpopular a.s.sociation at Shrek Academy since every student was aiming to become a battle armor master. In Zhang Yang's mind, the Mecha a.s.sociation only continued to exist because the Academy was protecting it. It only had twenty members. It was awful.

Just as Zhang Yang expected, Tang Wulin shook his head. The only people who joined were those who still held onto childhood dreams of mechas.

“Senior Brother, I want to commission a custom yellow-grade mecha.”

Zhang Yang nearly fell out of his seat, eyes wide. “What did you just say?”

“I want to commission a custom yellow-grade mecha,” Tang Wulin repeated.

“Junior Brother, do you know how much a yellow-grade mecha costs? One million points! Not a hundred thousand. One million!” Despite all the years he spent at Shrek Academy, Zhang Yang hadn't saved up anywhere near one million points. That didn't mean that yellow mechas were luxurious items though.

“Yes, I know.” Tang Wulin took out his student card and handed it to Zhang Yang. “I have enough points to pay for it.”

Holy s.h.i.+t! Zhang Yang gulped when he saw over 1.6 million points display on Tang Wulin's card. He could barely suppress the impulse to ask if he had just robbed the administrative office. He knew such a thing was impossible.

“O-Okay then,” Zhang Yang said. “Please fill out this form. After that we'll go take your measurements.” These measurements were needed to construct a c.o.c.kpit that was perfect for Tang Wulin, all to optimize the ergonomics within the mecha and his piloting efficiency.

“I want a long-ranged attack type mecha,” Tang Wulin said, listing his requirements. “I want to focus on saving energy. The armor can be light. I want some powerful energy cores too. It needs to be able to stay operational for long periods of time...”

Zhang Yang worked at the Mecha a.s.sociation because he was a mecha fanatic to begin with. He couldn't help but furrow his brow when Tang Wulin finished listing all his requirements. “Junior Brother, the type of mecha you're describing is what we call a 'brittleskin' mecha. Long-ranged mechas obviously don't do well in close combat to begin with, and on top of that, you want light armor. If we make your mecha like that and it takes a single hit, its energy core could explode. That's dangerous and could even be fatal.”

“That's fine,” Tang Wulin replied. “That's exactly what I want. Oh, right. If I provide the necessary metals, how much of a discount can I get?”

“The price would drop down to 480,000 points,” Zhang Yang said. “The metals need to be high quality though.”

“Great! Let's go with that.”
