Chapter 224: The Pit (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Wuxie Meifan Nao) (Fourth Update)
by Sunflower“Of course it’s real, but the price isn’t cheap. How much money do you have left?”
Mia coughed, asking seriously.
Su Ming picked up his phone to check, then said to Teacher Mia.
“I still have 881,595,000 federal currency.”
“That little? No matter, I’ll help you bargain. Your teacher here is going all out!”
Mia said righteously after hearing Su Ming’s words.
“Thank you, Teacher. When do we go discuss the Third Generation Mecha?”
Su Ming was a bit impatient, after all, owning his own Third Generation Mecha was very important.
“Now, follow me!”
Mia directly pulled Su Ming and walked out of the school.
Several hours later, Mia drove a small, beat-up black car, carrying Su Ming along the highway.
“Teacher, where are we going? It seems like we’re driving towards the suburbs?”
Su Ming asked, looking at the increasingly desolate scenery, puzzled.
“You’ll know when we get there. Remember, that’s a restricted area, so don’t speak carelessly.”
Mia instructed Su Ming.
“Okay!”
Su Ming nodded in response.
Soon, Su Ming saw a military checkpoint ahead, guarded by two ironhead mechs and a group of soldiers.
When these guards saw Mia’s car, the sealed checkpoint immediately opened.
A hint of surprise appeared on Su Ming’s face. Was Mia taking him to the military department to buy? If so, it must be good stuff.
For a moment, Su Ming grew even more expectant. He was very curious what kind of Third Generation Mecha it would be?
However, the moment the car passed through the checkpoint and entered the restricted area, the scene before his eyes instantly stunned Su Ming.
As far as the eye could see, the entire area was piled with various damaged mechanical parts, densely packed and stretching endlessly.
Su Ming’s mind went blank for a moment; at this instant, he felt as if he had returned to his own garbage processing plant.
Clang!
The small, beat-up car jolted, and Su Ming immediately snapped back to reality, his mouth twitching slightly as he asked.
“Teacher, are you sure it’s here?”
“Of course, don’t say anything, you’ll know in a moment.”
Mia replied confidently. She continued driving forward and soon arrived in front of a huge warehouse.
She parked the car at the warehouse entrance. At this moment, an old man wearing a second lieutenant’s military uniform, with a sallow, short, and thin face, and a stern expression, walked out of the warehouse.
“We’re here, get out!”
Mia excitedly opened the car door and got out.
Su Ming took a deep breath, then opened his car door and followed her out.
“You’re here.”
The old man in front of them spoke hoarsely.
“Charl, where’s the Third Generation Mecha?”
Mia said to the old man in front of her.
“Follow me!”
Charl waved his hand at Su Ming and Mia, then led them into the warehouse.
Su Ming held a glimmer of hope as he followed them into the warehouse.
However, the moment they entered the warehouse, Su Ming felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him. The vast warehouse was piled with various mechanical parts and circuit boards.
Su Ming couldn’t help but ask Mia in a hushed voice.
“Teacher, you’re not joking, are you? This is just a Deprecated warehouse!”
“What do you know? This is where the good stuff is.”
Mia said confidently.
“Alright, alright.”
Su Ming could only trust Mia, after all, they had already come all this way.
Soon, they walked into the interior of the warehouse. At this moment, they saw a massive object covered by a tarpaulin.
Although they couldn’t see what was under the tarpaulin, from its covered shape, they could somewhat tell that it was likely a Third Generation Mecha.
“Watch closely!”
Charl picked up an electric switch and pressed it. A mechanical arm extended from the warehouse ceiling, grabbed a corner of the tarpaulin, and then pulled the entire tarpaulin down.
A 17-meter-tall, extremely old black Third Generation Mecha came into view.
The surface of this black Third Generation Mecha was pitted and uneven, with paint chipped off in places. Its shoulder was equipped with an unknown model of black beam cannon, and two old beam sword hilts were tucked into its waist.
The entire Third Generation Mecha was covered in thick dust, looking very dilapidated.
Su Ming looked at this Third Generation Mecha, completely petrified. At this moment, he deeply suspected whether Mia was trying to scam him?
“How about it, not bad, right!”
Mia said triumphantly.
“Let me see.”
Su Ming took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and carefully examined the dilapidated Third Generation Mecha.
“Oh, what’s there to see? Listen to me! You definitely won’t go wrong if you buy it.”
“No rush.”
Su Ming circled the Third Generation Mecha, observing it carefully.
First, it was indeed a Third Generation Mecha; that much was correct. However, it was also a battle-damaged Third Generation Mecha.
But the specific configuration couldn’t be seen, so he asked.
“Lord Charl, what’s the configuration of this Third Generation Mecha?”
“Don’t know!”
“Then are the internal power device, system, and electronic equipment still usable?”
“Don’t know, don’t know. If you want to buy it, buy it. If not, leave!”
Charl replied impatiently.
Su Ming wasn’t angry and continued to observe the dilapidated Third Generation Mecha. Soon, he discovered a problem.
Although the surface of this Third Generation Mecha was covered with a lot of dust, Su Ming could still vaguely see more than ten black and red stars painted on its two chest plates. And that wasn’t the most exaggerated part; there was even a black moon painted on this Third Generation Mecha.
Su Ming’s eyelids suddenly twitched. This was a battle-hardened Third Generation Mecha that had even killed a Type 4 monster.
Su Ming immediately stopped hesitating, turned around, and said to Mia.
“Buy it!”
“That’s right, Charl, we’ll buy this Third Generation Mecha.”
“Two point five billion!”
Charl quoted the price directly.
“Are you robbing us? We’re so familiar, give us a discount.”
Mia reacted very strongly.
“Two billion!”
Charl replied in a deep voice.
“Five hundred million!”
“Not selling!”
“I’ll add a bit more, six hundred million!”
Su Ming stood quietly to the side, watching Mia and Charl intensely haggling over the price.
About ten minutes later, Mia finally reached a deal price with Charl.
“881,592,000 federal currency, not a single penny more!”
“Sigh, I’ll sell it to you!”
Charl said with a very disgruntled expression.
“Su Ming, transfer the money!”
Mia excitedly shouted to Su Ming.
Su Ming listened to the negotiated price, his gaze towards Mia becoming a bit unnatural.
After he paid this amount, he was left with exactly 3000 federal currency.
If you told him there was no trickery involved, Su Ming wouldn’t believe it for a second. He even had a fleeting thought: was Teacher Mia specifically trying to trick him out of his money?
“Why are you still standing there, quickly transfer the money.”
Mia urged him when she saw Su Ming wasn’t moving.
“Okay!”
Su Ming then walked forward and transferred the money to the old man.
Soon, the money was transferred to Charl’s account, and Charl said in a deep voice.
“Since I’m doing a good deed, I’ll have someone drag this Third Generation Mecha to your school tomorrow afternoon. Remember to prepare the hangar in advance.”
“Thank you.”
Su Ming politely said to Charl.
“Ahem, Su Ming, you go wait for me outside first. I need to discuss some serious matters with Lord Charl.”
Mia coughed and said to Su Ming.
“Okay!”
Su Ming then walked out.
