Chapter 20
S-level supernatural crystals are so rare that the Sirius [Quest] organization may not even encounter one S-level supernatural crystal in a year. The highest level of pollution in the area near Sirius is level 3, with A-level supernatural crystals at the highest level. Even if S-level supernatural crystals appeared, they would have been taken away by the nearby mecha bases.
It's very rare to have a mecha technician bring it to our door for inspection like this.
Especially since this is an S-class dual-attribute energy crystal that has never appeared in the atlas, it would fetch a sky-high price at an auction.
The researcher's eyes couldn't help but fall on Ying Chenlin, and lingered on the other's robotic arm for a moment. The man in front of me looked too young, but from the time he entered the laboratory until now, his face showed very little emotion.
They have received too many guests who came for testing. Some were ecstatic about the results, while others were regretful because of the structure. Even some people from the mecha base who came for testing would occasionally show their emotions.
But it is very rare to see a customer who is so calm after receiving an S-level supernatural crystal.
The researcher did not look down on the man because of his appearance, but introduced him in more detail: "This kind of supernatural crystal is extremely rare in the Star Alliance. We also provide assistance to the testing party. If you need to sell this supernatural crystal, we can contact the appropriate agency for auction. If..."
"No need." Ying Chenlin said.
The researcher was stunned for a moment, but did not continue. He placed the data board in front of Ying Chenlin and cleared the data in front of him. "We are obliged to protect the privacy of our guests. We have sent you the test results. There is only one copy of the test report. All the remaining test materials have been destroyed. If you need help later, you can contact us again."
Ying Chenlin said thank you, settled the bill and left.
The researcher sighed, a look of fatigue on his face.
After his colleague came in, he looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Was that customer troublesome?"
"No trouble." The researcher thought of the two guests he received today. Not long ago, he received a guest who brought a bunch of A-grade energy crystals for testing, but he remained indifferent. The other one is the one just now, who remained unmoved by the S-level dual-attribute supernatural crystal.
"I just feel that Sirius isn't that simple."
Outside the door of Qiusuo, many mecha masters came in and out.
Ying Chenlin walked past the others with his back to them, and the memory hidden in his collar collided with the mecha key. He checked the time and realized that he had been delayed here for a while, as there seemed to be other things to do in the base.
The internal group of KID in the optical brain is chatting in full swing.
The communication rang, Ying Chenlin called the hovercraft, and then answered the call: "Boss."
On the other side of the noisy communication, there were the excited voices of Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao.
Shen Xingtang loomed and asked, "Chen Lin, are you back?"
“We’re sold out of parts!”
Ying Chenlin paused. So fast...?

Half a day ago.
Starnet, the long-silent KID official Weibo finally resurfaced.
Many concerned netizens came, thinking that KID was finally going to announce the information about the new season of Gunner Mecha Division. However, once they entered KID's virtual page, they were directly redirected to a newly established virtual store.
The virtual store is right next to the virtual image of the KID base. There is a bulletin board on the left side, which had an announcement from a long time ago that KID was recruiting repairmen. Now the announcement is gone, replaced by an opening promotion announcement for the KID spare parts store.
[The new store is open. Today, all parts in the store are discounted. Buy 3 pieces and get a 10% discount. Buy 10 pieces and get an 20% discount. ]‖
Once you enter, you will be redirected to the Mecha Market Parts Street.
The shop is simple, with plain decoration and a few glass cabinets. There are no extra decorations. It is so ordinary that it looks like a small shop with no name or other qualifications. If netizens had not been redirected from KID’s official Weibo, they would have thought they had come to the wrong place.
The cheap smell was so overwhelming that netizens who were rushing to the store door stopped in their tracks.
Selling spare parts? ? ? KID, are you really planning to give up next season? 】
[There is no news about the mecha technician, the announcement for recruiting maintenance technicians has been withdrawn, and now they are still selling A-level parts... This operation is very much like a full-network clearance before bankruptcy. 】
[They are clearing out their stock and offering discounts. Look at what’s on display in KID’s store, a grade A part is selling for 100,000 yuan. They are thinking bullshit. 】
Many netizens entered the store to check out the situation, and they could see the parts information by squeezing in front of the counters. The mecha parts sold in KID are not forged from expensive materials. They are all A-GZ1456, A-GZ6666, etc., which can be found on the market or shopping websites. There are about ten types of models, all of which are A-grade parts. At a glance, the prices range from 90,000 to 110,000.
This old part only costs 30,000 yuan on the market, KID must be crazy to sell it at such a high price! ?
[I thought they had a bottom line even though they were poor, but now I feel that these people have no bottom line. Even if they sell the parts as peripherals, they can't be so expensive, and there is no signature on them. 】
[I just read the parts introduction, the accuracy conversion rate is 55%? ! Everyone knows that only 50% of the A-GZ1456 is of good quality. Can you understand the actual situation and then sell the parts? Are the item details all written randomly? Reported. Don’t trust parts that have not been tested by professional organizations, there are too many fakes. 】
[Just buy one and try it out. KID has such a good reputation, so he won’t run away, right? 】
The store also has a parts inspection rate, but not many people believe it.
There are too many fake test pictures on Star.com now, and more buyers will choose to believe in the test pictures from professional organizations rather than the test pictures produced by the stores themselves.
People who are familiar with mechas also have some understanding of the parts, especially the models and market prices of the parts. The performance and quality of the goods are clearly marked.
The statement that A-GZ1456 can achieve 55% accuracy is like bullying outsiders. Besides, for a mecha master who needs parts with 55% accuracy, it would be better for him to spend tens of thousands more to buy genuine products from a well-known parts supplier.
Many netizens rushed in to watch the fun, and for a while they were all complaining about the things on display on the shelves of KID’s store, but many people also planned to do charity because of KID’s fame.
[It’s too poor. Why don’t you learn from other bases and do live broadcasts of polluted areas? 】
[There are actually rich ladies buying it, are you doing charity? 】
【Buy one for 100,000 yuan? ! The peripherals of other teams are not that expensive! 】
Manager Liu has been stalking this store for too long. Every time he sent a message to the store owner, there was no reply. Today, as soon as he came online, he received a reminder of the store opening. He rushed to the store with his subordinates without stopping. As soon as he entered the store, he saw a crowd of people.
This almost made him anxious to death. His immediate superior, Boss Zhou, had specifically instructed him to make sure to get all other types of spare parts. He was worried to death when he saw so many people. Who knew that most of these people were there to watch and not many would buy.
He squeezed his way to the container, luckily! The stuff is still there!
"How much do you want to buy, boss?" asked the younger brother.
Manager Liu: "Nonsense, Boss Zhou has already told us to buy them all."
The store had only been open for two minutes and already there were several parts for sale.
Things are expensive, but people still spend money to buy them.
The excitement continued for a while, and then several containers in the store suddenly went dark!
[The goods in the store are sold out, please come again next time! ]
Netizens:? ? ?
KID
There are about ten types of parts on display in the new store, and the total inventory of the entire store is about three hundred pieces.
And within just five minutes of the store opening, all of these expensive mecha parts were sold out!
At this time, some people squeezed into the store.
"Isn't this a new store? Why are there so many people here today?!"
"Does our forum have such a large flow of people? This area has been fully occupied several times!"
“Why are all the items sold out???”
"Who is liu84567? Why are they all killed in seconds?!"
There were more and more people around, and the mecha circle netizens who came in to watch the excitement were confused. They hurriedly stopped one of them and asked, "Are you stupid? Why don't you buy it from another store? It's only 30,000 yuan outside, but 100,000 yuan here!"
The person who was stopped said, "Yeah! How is it expensive to sell a part with a conversion rate of 55% for 100,000?! The one next door sells a part with a conversion rate of 55% for 120,000, but its durability is not as high as this one! Besides, 55% is an A-level part, and this is an A-level part! Some A-level parts with a conversion rate of 55% are sold for 150,000!"
Ordinary A-class mechas cannot use racing-level parts, the compatibility is insufficient, and the mechas are prone to problems.
The A-GZ series of models are mid-to-high-level parts. Two years ago, they were replacement parts for A-level mechas close to racing-level mechas. They are now in decline, but they are also rare parts that are compatible between A-level and racing-level mechas.
A-grade parts can be used for A-grade mechas and racing-grade mechas, but most A-racing-grade parts can only be used for racing-grade mechas and are not compatible with other A-grade parts.
There are parts for sale at 55%, but they are low-end parts prepared for racing-level mechas, A-racing-level parts, made of good materials, and 55% is a common conversion rate.
The A-level conversion rate can reach 55%. This material can reach such an upper limit and is compatible with many types of mechas. It is definitely a top-of-the-line part for A-level mechas. The key is that it is 50,000 yuan cheaper than the market price. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a part!
"It's good, but how can there be such a cheap 55% precision A-grade parts?!" Netizens still don't believe it. "There are many fakes on the virtual star network now, and their inspection pictures have not been inspected by formal departments..."
The person who was stopped was too lazy to explain to him, so he just played a forum video and then squeezed to the front desk to ask the smart store manager when the stock would be restocked.
The confused netizens who were watching the fun finally realized that KID did open a store to sell spare parts, but they did not charge exorbitant prices for the parts. On the contrary, they offered preferential prices. It could be said that they were using KID's reputation to do charity.
Netizens who failed to buy the parts rushed to the counter to look for them, only to find that everything was sold out and the store had no plans to restock. If you missed it, you missed it, and there was no chance to make up for it.
"Fuck! Who swept them all just now?!"
"This store doesn't even have a purchase limit. Does the store manager know how to run a business? He could make more money by opening an auction!"
"I misunderstood. They are poor, but at least they won't cheat us out of money."
"If anyone has more, can you please sell me one? I'm in need of this part recently."
This incident soon became a hot topic on StarNet. Many people came to visit, but they did not see the parts sold by KID. They only vaguely heard about the magic of those parts from other people's perspectives. Many people cannot afford racing-level mechas, and the upper limit of A-level mechas is limited. If there are parts that can improve the precision conversion rate, perhaps better results can be achieved through modification.
"Which factory does KID usually cooperate with?!"
"I checked and the original model number is from the Sirius factory, but I don't see that the store over at the Sirius factory sells parts with such a high conversion rate."
"Holy crap, there's actually a parts designer in the KID base!? Has anyone found the information on that Yuan?"
"No!"
…
At Sirius Parts Mart, several developers were walking out.
During the off-season, the parts market has a bumper harvest. Major mecha bases need a large amount of parts and materials. For developers like them, signing orders from teams means making a lot of money.
"Boss Xu, didn't you sign a contract with Sirius KID?"
Boss Xu got angry when he heard this. Last time he thought KID would give in, but Shen Xingtang didn't call him for several days. He couldn't bring himself to go find Shen Xingtang, and now the deal is on hold. "Let's talk about it later. The price hasn't been negotiated yet."
"You lost a big order. Can you still sell the parts in your factory?" A boss said with a smile: "Only bases like KID will accept parts like yours. Have other team bases signed the order?"
Boss Xu had a sullen face and said nothing.
At this time, they saw a middle-aged man surrounded by a crowd walking out of the parts market, followed by several developers, who seemed to be talking about something.
Boss Xu looked at the man and felt that he looked familiar. "Who is that...?"
"Have you forgotten?" The developer next to him said, "That's Mr. Zhou from Jianheng Technology, the mecha company that's famous for making A-class mechas in our Dawn Galaxy!"
Boss Xu suddenly realized: "Why did he come to the parts market in person? Doesn't Jianheng have a parts factory?"
"Yes, but I heard that Boss Zhou has a new project to start. I heard that he wants to readjust the performance of the A-class mecha and is looking for suitable parts and technology."
The person who was speaking said casually, "You also know that the level of mechas in our Dawn Galaxy has never been as good as that in other galaxies. Jianheng is also a large enterprise in our Dawn Galaxy. It is normal to want to make some breakthroughs. Aren't the parts you want to give to KID A-level competition-level parts? I remember that your factory's technology is not bad. Maybe Boss Zhou's..."
Boss Xu was slightly moved.
After separating from other developers, he quickly asked someone to make an appointment with Boss Zhou's secretary. Not long after, the other party actually agreed to talk to him in detail.
"Boss, KID's side..." the younger brother asked.
When mentioning KID, Boss Xu's tone suddenly turned bad: "I don't have time to waste with Shen Xingtang."
The younger brother hesitated and said, "But KID opened an online store on Starnet. It seems that the parts we sold wholesale to them last season, and it became popular on Starnet..."
Boss Xu: “???”
The author has something to say:
Probably Thursday V, You Ge will join the team in the next two days~
