Chapter 522: What Can We Do About the Gundam at Dongda University

Ji Ming is a respectful person, and he really doesn't want to make things difficult for these old people's hair, which is not much.

He coughed lightly, saying that he was studying alchemy recently and needed high-quality magic crystals as consumables.

So he smelled the smell... No, he came here to get information.

"Uh."

The old men barely caught the clue to solve the case and asked tentatively.

"Mr. Chosen, doesn't your church... the Holy See... need high-quality magic crystals?"

In return, he got the clear eyes of Chosen.

"Oh, this is definitely needed, but I haven't discussed it with them, so I don't know the amount for the time being."

This is good, all the players around have turned into sweating soybeans.

——Oh, I said it was a big deal, it turned out to be a personal name!

But Chosen is also a well-known good man. Even if we can't get the olive branch from the Holy See, we can try to get Chosen.

And as an expensive mineral, there is no reason for the Foreign Affairs Bureau not to take out a part of it in exchange for working capital to fill the hole in the working funds.

So I have to sell them anyway. If I can improve the favorability of some important NPCs and make more valuable friends...

Director Zhao: I have no objection!

So after a quiet discussion, they gave a reasonable price at the production place level, and asked Ji Ming to buy seven or eight boxes.

"Hmm? This number..."

But Ji Ming is still quite sensitive to prices, so he secretly opened the player forum and looked at the current market price of high-purity magic crystals in Qixia City.

I found that after adding several powerful buffs such as [Distance is Far], [Scarcity is Expensive], [Seller's Market], [The Whole Family of Traders Lives in Secret], and [Buy if You Want to Buy or Not, Get Lost], the lowest price is ten times the price of the ones in front of me!

In other words, as long as he pulls these boxes of things to Qixia City, Ji Ming can easily make at least nine times the profit!

Okay, let's start the argument!

Known: I have a Pegasus, and there is a way for players to get goods from this side.

It is also known that I have a pass that allows me to travel unimpeded on the Holy Mountain, and there are several royal nobles who are eager to share their sales channels with me.

So, according to a rough calculation, it takes me about three days to ride Pegasus to the north. If I can do it to the extreme, it can be shortened to two days, so...

[? ? ? ]

No!

[Ah, fortunately, I was scared to death]

I have a teleportation array!

[! ! ! ]

So as long as the teleportation array is anchored in the royal capital, and then all forces are used to transport the high-purity magic crystals here to the gate of the underground city, a lot of transportation time can be saved, and a...

[Stop, stop, stop! ]

[Savior, what are you suddenly thinking about! ]

"Ah?"

Ji Ming only then realized that he was also tempted by the high profits and almost became a new trader.

——Fuck, human desire! It's terrible!

He quickly restrained this desire for progress and controlled himself not to think about it again, and then he regained his normal thinking ability.

Since the magic crystal business has been discussed, he can't make any promises to the Foreign Affairs Bureau on behalf of the Holy See, so the two sides ended the meeting.

After thanking the pioneers for their hospitality, Ji Ming said that he had a friend here and asked them if they could tell him where she was.

"Well, in order to speed up development, we do have a lot of local employees in Yangyue. I don't know what you are asking about... Oh, it's her, she's here."

However, this time Ji Ming did not ride Pegasus again, but accepted the invitation of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and went to the station to experience the specialties of the "Manyuan Mine".

Since the players have already made tanks that can be put into combat, as long as the engine is replaced with a shell, other types of vehicles can naturally be made.

Although these things, which are essentially tractors, must have a poor riding experience, special means in special times can definitely be used to transport people and goods and increase logistics speed.

For example, this kind of personnel carrier with a bus-like appearance has become an important means of transportation for workers in the mining area to quickly travel between various mines and factories.

The road was flat and the car was moving. Following the straight road that had just been opened to the west, Ji Ming soon arrived at a fairly wide valley.

But strangely, in addition to the normal peripheral buildings, thick bunkers, and the newly raised defense arrangements.

In the valley, along the gentle slope, there were several greenhouses that were 30 meters high, completely supported by steel, and camouflaged in military green on the surface.

"Could it be..."

Ji Ming's heart moved, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a dragon king-like arc, and he probably guessed what the secret weapon developed here was.

Sure enough, when the security personnel opened the door, under the soft light, several tall and strong mechanical creations like Iron King Kong came into view.

Anyone who sees such a thing will feel excited, especially since such a thing was made by us.

So the accompanying personnel beside Ji Ming came forward with a sense of ceremony and stood at attention in front of him.

"Mr. Chosen by God! Please allow us to introduce to you the latest masterpiece of the Yangyue Foreign Affairs Bureau, the Magic Mecha!"

Mecha, indeed, these humanoid mechas are nearly 20 meters tall, and they look solemn and majestic like the gods in the temple who feed on human incense.

Recalling the bitter past and thinking of the sweet past, Ji Ming couldn't help but think of the first generation of armor that Adele brought to Sunshine City.

Although he was envious when he first saw it, and was excited all night touching the arm armor.

But if you look at it objectively, that thing is purely a patchwork of experimental products.

It is called an exoskeleton, but the size of several meters is too large; it is called a mecha, but the wearing logic is similar to armor, and the structural pressure resistance is really worrying.

In short, it can't go up or down, and it is stuck here.

Moreover, when it first appeared, it broke its arm to save Ji Ming. After barely repairing it, it immediately went to the battle of Sunshine City, and many components were forcibly added to it.

Now it's good, it has directly changed from a magical style to a patched-up wasteland style armor, and it can be directly made into "Fallout" as a player vehicle.

What? There is already a MOD.

That's fine.

Unlike the first generation that has experienced countless hardships, these large mechanical creations that were aimed at mechas from the beginning were developed from scratch by the Foreign Affairs Bureau, or China.

Therefore, their bodies are extremely symmetrical, and their designs are extremely reasonable. The smooth surface that flashes with cold light and the exquisite linkage mechanism perfectly practice what is called appearance equals combat effectiveness.

So much so that Ji Ming's mind immediately popped up the old joke that has been circulating on the Internet for a long time.

- Family, this time we really have Gundam!

And more importantly.

- This is much better looking than the stupid thing designed by Netflix!

Unfortunately, there are so many people here, and Ji Ming really can't get crazy. He can only suppress his desire to jump on it and turn his head to ask.     "Sir, do these magic mechas have names?"

The accompanying personnel nodded.

"Yes! They are the first generation of manned mechas independently developed by our Yangyue Foreign Affairs Bureau, code-named Pioneer!"

Ji Ming subconsciously wanted to ask if the first generation of mechas in Japan should be called Asimo?

But on second thought, let alone the magic mecha, the immortals can't even figure out the robots, so let's figure out whether the mind project has the possibility of revival (great sorrow).

And it's not appropriate for him to ask such a question that is too earthly as the chosen one of God, so he just praised.

"Not bad, you pioneers, you always come up with something new for me!"

"Ah, it's not just our efforts, there are quite a few local friends in Yangyue who have provided us with help..."

After responding, Ji Ming continued to walk deep into the preparation area and found that there were five mechas with the same appearance standing in this greenhouse alone.

It seems that even if [Pioneer] has not entered the mass production stage, it has already left the experimental stage and can start mass production and equip the troops.

Imagine that after the summer, the wolves gathered superior forces and finally launched a full-scale attack on the barbarian plains, and countless iron kings came out of the forest.

——"You are the grassland overlord, right? Let me see if you are good at singing and dancing!"

But the fifth mecha at the deepest part should have just been shipped and is still in the optimization, debugging and running-in stage.

So many of its armors have been dismantled or opened, revealing the mechanical structure inside, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to inspect.

For a big·hard·iron lover like Ji Ming, this thing is even more star-like than the drum of a supermodel! He was so stunned that he couldn't walk.

But since the internal structure was unfolded for optimization and debugging, there were naturally many professionals around who were busy up and down the passage, including a light golden figure.

Ji Ming stood below and watched silently until she found someone looking at her.

"Doctor...doctor?"

Adele jumped down from a height of several meters excitedly. Ji Ming was startled and quickly reached out to catch her.

As a result, he was a step slower and didn't catch her. He also accidentally bumped into Adele, causing her to fall to death on the spot.

…

Well, no, Ji Ming was still very fast, and he moved the world directly, "inserting" her into the ground like a carrot.

He adjusted his breathing and asked.

"Adele, are you so excited? Why do you want to jump off the building when you see me?"

Adele thought she could be hugged once, and was ready to enjoy it, but when she opened her eyes, she found herself standing on the ground intact.

She was at a loss.

"… No, no, I stepped on empty air…"

She thought in her heart.

Damn it, I knew those TV dramas from Earth were lies!

But this is a place for work, and Ji Ming couldn't chat in front of everyone, so he took Adele to the corner of the maintenance table where no one was.

Although before coming, he vowed to give this unfilial disciple who ran away privately a hard beating.

But when they really met, how could he bear it?

He frowned for a long time and could only ask one question.

"I thought you would go to the dungeon at most, why did you go so far away alone?"

Adele hesitated and spoke softly.

"Didn't you also go to a place as far away as the capital alone? And you didn't even send a letter back."

This sentence made Ji Ming fall into silence, and he thought quickly in his mind.

- How to answer?

Option A: "But I'm not alone. I went with Father Eleanor and Archbishop Tenis."

Expected answer: "Really? Then why didn't you take me with you? Am I, a student, not as close as a colleague?"

Deduction result: Failure, becoming a bad teacher who forgets his principles when he sees profit, and a bastard who only wants to eat soft rice.

Option B: "I am your teacher, an adult with full abilities, so you don't need to worry about me, right?"

Estimated reply: "Really? Then it's my fault as a student, I dared to worry about you without authorization..."

Result of deduction: Failure, becoming a bad teacher who despises feelings, losing all the right to explain, and unable to defend himself.

Option C: "How can this be the same? You little girl dared to argue with the teacher, it seems that the teacher must enforce the family rules today."

Estimated reply...

Well, this option does not exist at all. Ji Ming has suffered from family hardships and would not do such a bastard thing.

——So it's over, this seems to be a dead end with no answer!

And anyway, silence itself is actually a concession.

So Adele immediately took over the right to speak, and began to oppress Ji Ming's psychological defenses step by step like an ancient Roman shield array.

"I've heard that the King of Radiance is a big dye vat. No matter how high a bird flies, it will be dragged into the mud pit by all kinds of desires and will never escape."

"I didn't believe it at first, at least you! My most respected teacher, such a good person, the hero who saved Sunshine City, will definitely not be contaminated by those things, right?"

"But I went to Ms. Blois again and again, asking her if the doctor had any letters or sent anyone to report safety? But every time there was no one! In this case, huh? How can you ask me not to worry!"

--Bad, this high-end game!

Ji Ming almost forgot that although he also had a lot of burdens, Eleanor had not received a decent aristocratic education before, and only started to make up for it recently.

Although Aurora's brain is very smart, the constraints of her sick body and the limited time make this genius lack time to grow, and her level is also very low.

But when Adele was in school before, she was a school bully killer with both wisdom and courage. No matter how many green tea girls there were, she could catch them and refine them in an instant.

If her family had not been involved in the royal factional struggle and was slaughtered by the third prince, with the magic armor, she might have led Fengxian to become a real noble, rather than a vassal of the master.

Even so, she escaped thousands of miles alone, and while getting rid of the third prince's pursuit, she successfully established a foothold in the old Sunshine City, a place where people are eaten without leaving bones.

So although this little sister who appeared in the novice village may look a bit rustic, she may actually be the one with the highest level among the girls Ji Ming knows.

If you are not careful, you will be trapped in the cage of guilt by their dense words and be severely controlled by them.

Just like now.
