Yan Hao felt that since he had not learned mecha manufacturing in middle school, his foundation was weaker than others. Following the principle of the early bird catches the worm, as soon as the afternoon class was over, he didn't even bother to eat dinner and dragged He Shao to a mecha shop outside the school to buy materials for making energy blocks.
"These are the basic materials for level 4 energy blocks." After the two men explained their purpose, the clerk quickly took them to the designated area.
"I haven't told you what level of energy block materials I want to buy." He Shao looked at the clerk strangely.
"You must be freshmen at the Federal University, right?" The clerk had a pair of sharp eyes, especially freshmen, who had a sense of immaturity. He could tell at a glance, "This freshman, on the first day of school, came to buy materials for level 4 energy blocks. I knew that even without you telling me."
"Okay, it's obviously a routine." He Shao understood. It turned out that the professor of their mecha manufacturing department was harming students in this way every year.
Yan Hao smiled and said, "We really need to buy it anyway."
"There's no rush. Let's buy the materials for the first-level energy blocks first." He Shao turned around and asked the clerk, "Do you have the first-level materials?"
The clerk was stunned. He obviously didn't expect the two college students to buy materials that were only used by beginners. However, his good professional ethics made him adjust his mood quickly: "We have some in the warehouse. How many do you need? I'll get it for you."
"Let's start with... ten, no, five." When he was learning how to make first-level energy blocks, he used ten portions of raw materials. Yan Hao is so smart, five portions should be enough.
"Okay, wait a moment." The clerk left to get the ingredients.
He Shao turned around and saw Yan Hao still staring at the fourth-level materials and said, "Wait until you learn how to make energy blocks below the third level before buying them."
"Two hundred star coins~~" Yan Hao exclaimed in a low voice while staring at the price.
"A level 4 energy block is worth eight hundred star coins, and the raw materials are not expensive at two hundred," said He Shao.
"Two hundred star coins, I don't think I can buy more than a few copies with the money I have." Yan Hao secretly calculated the balance in his account. Materials are consumables, so they must be purchased frequently. Even if he can successfully make a level 4 energy block in one go, he will still need a lot of star coins to buy other materials in his future studies. It seems that he still has to ask his parents for money.
Thinking of the disgusted look on his parents' faces every time he asked for money in his previous life, Yan Hao pursed his lips. He really didn't want to face it again.
"Hey, why are you worried about money?" He Shao punched Yan Hao speechlessly, "Students from the Federal University can buy raw materials on credit here."
"Buy on credit?!" Yan Hao was stunned.
"You are underestimating yourself. We are students of the Mecha Manufacturing Department of the Federal University. Who can't learn how to make energy blocks after being admitted to our Mecha Manufacturing Department? It's only a matter of time before we can make a level 4 energy block." He Shao introduced, "Didn't I just say that a finished level 4 energy block is worth 800 star coins? You buy four sets of materials, and you can get your money back as long as you succeed once. Then you can bring one block to pay off your debt."
"Energy blocks are recycled here?" Yan Hao's eyes lit up.
"Of course we recycle them. These are made by machines in their store, and they sell for 800 star coins. Ours have the bonus of mental power, so the price can only be higher, not lower." He Shao said proudly.
"That's right. If you can make level 4 energy blocks and sell them to me, I will buy them from you for one thousand star coins each." A voice came from the display stand next to the two of them.
Yan Hao looked over and saw clearly who was speaking. He immediately raised the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Senior."
The person who spoke was Sheng Heng.
"Have you already started learning how to make energy blocks?" Sheng Heng walked over with a level 5 energy block.
"Yes, I came here to buy materials for practice." Yan Hao nodded.
"Study hard, I'm waiting to buy it." Sheng Heng's tone was firm, even more confident than Yan Hao himself.
"When I learn it, I'll give it to you first." Yan Hao knew Sheng Heng was helping him, "It doesn't have to be such a high price, I'll give you a discount."
The smile in Sheng Heng's eyes spread. He found that his junior was not only easy to please, but also extremely innocent: "You want to give me a discount? This is a long-term business. A little discount will lose a lot of money."
He heard the conversation between the junior and his classmates just now. The junior seemed to be short of money.
"I'm a novice. Even if I can make energy blocks, they will definitely not be as good as those in the store. I can't sell them to you at such a high price." Yan Hao insisted.
The smile in Sheng Heng's eyes became even more intense. He was easy to coax, simple-minded, and didn't take advantage of her.
"Hao, do you know each other?" He Shao asked in a low voice.
"He Shao, this is the senior I mentioned who helped me guide the way during the exam, Sheng Heng. Senior, this is my roommate He Shao." Yan Hao introduced.
"Hello, senior." He Shao greeted smartly.
Sheng Heng glanced at He Shao and nodded with a smile. He seemed friendly, but He Shao clearly felt the distant aura.
At this time, the clerk came out with the packed materials: "Student, the materials you asked for have been packed. Are you sure you don't want to bring a few copies of the Level 4 materials?"
"Five servings, too." Before Yan Hao could say anything, Sheng Heng made the decision for him, "Put it on my account."
"Yes, I'll pack it right away." Upon hearing that, the clerk immediately went to pack the materials with a smile.
"Senior?" Yan Hao looked at Sheng Heng in confusion.
"Didn't you just say you would help me make energy blocks? These can be considered as my advance payment." Sheng Heng said.
Do you really want to buy it?
Yan Hao thought about it and felt that Sheng Heng was right. If the senior really bought energy blocks from him, advance payment would be no problem, so he did not refuse immediately: "Thank you."
"Are five enough? I don't mind paying a little more in advance." Sheng Heng said.
"That's enough." Although Yan Hao had never made an energy block, he was confident in himself. When he prepared potions before, as long as they were potions mentioned in books, he had never failed three times in a row. If potions could do this, he believed that energy blocks could do the same. After all, compared to potions, what he was doing now was something he really liked.
At this moment, Sheng Heng's light brain suddenly rang, and someone sent a message. He took a look and said to Yan Hao apologetically: "Sorry, I have something to do and I have to leave first."
"It doesn't matter."
Sheng Heng nodded to Yan Hao again, then left the store with the level 5 energy block in his hand.
At this time, the clerk also brought over the packaged Level 4 materials and said kindly, "All five sets of materials are here. When you have learned how to use them, you are welcome to come back anytime. We recycle all kinds of Level 4 and above energy blocks in our store, and the price is absolutely fair."
Before leaving, He Shao also bought five sets of raw materials and put them together in the space button, and then the two returned to school together.
"Are you and that senior named Sheng Heng really just showing the way?" He Shao asked Yan Hao on the way.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Then he is a little too enthusiastic towards you."
"Didn't you just say that, Senior? Their mecha department is short of energy blocks and they want to buy some from me."
"The mecha department is short of energy blocks, but the level-four energy blocks made by beginners are very unstable in the early stages. Sometimes they are only slightly stronger than level-three energy blocks. If you put them out for consignment, the unstable level-four energy blocks can only be sold for five hundred to six hundred star coins at most, but he will give you one thousand star coins as soon as he opens his mouth." He Shao said.
Yan Hao was stunned: "Is there such a big difference?"
"Not only that, did you see the energy block he was holding just now? It was a level five energy block. He is already using level five energy blocks, but he is looking for you to order level four energy blocks. Why would he spend twice the price for something he doesn't use?" He Shao asked.
Yan Hao frowned: "Then why is he doing this?"
"Are you really not familiar with him?" He Shao confirmed.
Yan Hao shook his head: "We are friends, but we have only just met for a short time."
"Then there is only one explanation."
"What?"
"He fell in love with you at first sight!" He Shao looked like he had discovered an affair.
Yan Hao shook his head without even thinking: "What nonsense are you talking about, how is it possible... that someone likes me."
He Shao's words about falling in love at first sight were mostly a joke, and when he heard Yan Hao say that he was talking nonsense, he just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously. But when he heard the second half of Yan Hao's sentence, he was visibly stunned.
"What do you mean how could anyone like you? Brother Yan, how can you say such a thing with your pretty face?" Yan Hao had delicate features and a scholarly air. Although he was not the masculine and handsome that men pursued, he was warm and humble, which was exactly the type that made people want to get close to him.
When he first saw Yan Hao, he went to say hello. Wasn't it because he was attracted by this warm and humble temperament?
Yan Hao smiled and didn't take it seriously: "Let's go back quickly."
The reason you say that is because Yan Fei is not with me. If you knew both me and Yan Fei, you wouldn't say that.
As long as Yan Fei is here, I will just be a cannon fodder that is despised by others. In this book, is there anyone who doesn't love the protagonist?
