Chapter 159: Chapter 158 Custom Mecha

Gong Yun ended the call and burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Now that Miss Jun Li’s potions have arrived, I have no interest in dealing with them and their self-righteousness, a bunch of pretentious old fools."

Standing to the side, Fu Jin felt ashamed, it seemed Commander you’re not exactly a spring chicken yourself.

"Go tell Si Chen that I’ll head to the First Army Corps first, let him deal with the mess at the Alchemist Association."

Gong Yun instructed Fu Jin with a hint of schadenfreude, then released a flyer from his space storage and prepared to fly away.

It was Fu Jin who stopped him, "Commander, didn’t you just say that you were going to make a payment to Miss Jun Li?"

"Ah, right, right, right! I’ll do it now." Gong Yun immediately started operating his light computer.

With a "ding-dong" notification, 14.3 million credits were deposited into Jun Li’s account.

However, this time it didn’t come from the military’s account but from Gong Yun’s personal account.

Qu Tong didn’t delay either, she packaged the potions and sent them over to Si Yuting.

Si Yuting and Jiang Zhou had just chosen nine warriors and administered the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion to them.

The remaining warriors continued to endure their agony without a word of complaint or dissatisfaction.

The shortage of the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion wasn’t a matter of one or two days, and they had long prepared their goodbyes before heading into battle.

Si Yuting watched all this expressionlessly, as if indifference and cold-bloodedness were etched into his bones.

Only when his wrist vibrated did Si Yuting answer the call, his tense expression relaxing, then he turned around and went personally to the transporter gate.

Seeing the large quantity of potions Si Yuting brought back, Jiang Zhou was overjoyed, "This is a lifesaver! The potions arrived just in time."

Jiang Zhou originally thought that Palace Commander Gong and Emperor had persuaded the Alchemist Association, reaching out to take the blue potion on the table.

However, Si Yuting stopped him and said, "This is the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion."

Jiang Zhou, surprised, shifted his gaze to the purple potion.

Easy to recognize, the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potion from Miss Ali’s household was indeed purple.

"Didn’t Palace Commander Gong say that Elder Yuan couldn’t deliver on time? How did it come early? Also, I thought Elder Yuan had a fallout with you, the Royal Family?" Jiang Zhou inquired, taking the potion, obviously curious.

Si Yuting wasn’t clear about the specifics at the moment, but he felt that any problem solved was a good outcome.

Jiang Zhou and his assistant immediately started distributing the potions to the warriors suffering from mental outbursts, while Si Yuting took a dozen potions and headed towards the front-line planet.

Once Qu Tong gave all the potions to Si Yuting, there were none left for sale in her shop, so she simply posted a notice.

The online community exploded.

[I knew it! All the spots were taken by the military academy students.]

[No way, the announcement just said the launch would be delayed for two days, not that it would be canceled.]

[Naive! High-grade Spirit Power Potions aren’t cabbages, there’s only so many to go around; saying it’s delayed is probably just a temporary fix.]

[Miss Ali’s family only has one pharmacist, right? Unlike the Alchemist Association, how could they prepare so many potions in a month.]

[Exactly, and apparently Miss Ali is out of Moonlight Grass.]

[I heard the Alchemist Association is developing a new potion and has gathered a large quantity of Moonlight Grass.]

[Ah no! Don’t do this to me! I was planning to stock up a potion for my third mental outburst, but the Alchemist Association’s Advanced Mind Stabilizing Potion is really expensive, and I don’t have that much money!]

"You must be S-rank, right? My dad also needs the potions from Miss Ali’s family."

"The potions from Miss Ali’s family are really a blessing for us poor folks. I don’t want them to go out of business."

"They’re unlikely to go out of business. The shortest cultivation time for Purified Moonlight Grass is three months. The only question is how much Moonlight Grass does the Alchemist Association need for their research on new potions."

Qu Tong paid no attention to the lively online discussions and had headed out early in the flying vehicle to find Master Yan.

Fei Wenxing and the others had already placed their orders for customized mechs. It was just that manufacturing the mechs takes time, so they hadn’t received their mechs yet.

Master Yan’s mechanical factory was a family business with countless apprentices and was renowned throughout the entire Empire. Even people from the neighboring Empire would seek Master Yan for mech customization.

Qu Tong easily got the chance to see Master Yan in person with her exchange card.

Master Yan was a plainly dressed old man with a face like orange peel, busy tuning a mech in the workshop.

Master Yan glanced at Qu Tong and said, "I saw the military league. Wasn’t the captain of the first place team a little girl with black hair?"

Qu Tong replied with a smile, "She’s my friend. As you know, she doesn’t have spiritual power, so she gave me her spot."

Master Yan nodded, "That makes sense."

Master Yan began digging through space and pulled out an old booklet and tossed it to Qu Tong, "Pick out what type of mech you want. If you have any requirements, let me know. I’ll take them into consideration if I can."

Master Yan struck Qu Tong as someone dedicated to the study of mechs and wasn’t concerned with the trivial matters, probably easy to speak with as well.

Qu Tong briefly flipped through the booklet. The types of mechs were comprehensive, but Qu Tong wasn’t considering any at the moment. She closed the booklet and asked, "Master Yan, is it possible to use my own design plans?"

Master Yan looked at Qu Tong quizzically, "White-haired girl, you’ve got high standards if you don’t fancy my designs."

Qu Tong pursed her lips and looked down at her chest where her silver hair, actually quite nice, lay. She opened her mouth to speak but then shut it, deciding not to dwell on the small matter.

Taking off his gloves, Master Yan half-jokingly said, "Let’s have it, then. I’ll see whose brilliant plans you’ve got. If the technology is beyond me, I won’t be able to build it."

Qu Tong shook her head and handed a space button to Master Yan.

"There are no blueprints. I was hoping Master Yan could design based on this exterior," she said.

Master Yan summoned the mech from the space button, immediately noting, "This mech doesn’t require spiritual power? It’s from the Bai Family, isn’t it?"

"Master Yan has good eyes!" Qu Tong praised.

"Hmph, the head of the Bai Family has come to me more than once seeking advice for his juniors," Master Yan said with pride.

"Tell me, what rank of mech do you want?" asked Master Yan.

"An SSS-rank mech, but like this one, with the rank not displayed."

Master Yan raised his head slightly surprised and re-evaluated Qu Tong, "Are you going to use it yourself?"

"Not me," Qu Tong denied, not revealing for whom it was intended.

Master Yan knew Qu Tong was unwilling to say more and didn’t push for an answer. Every trade has its rules, and mech designers were no different.

Once Qu Tong gave her consent, Master Yan took out his tools right in front of her and quickly dismantled the main components of the mech. After inspecting them, he waved her over.

Qu Tong approached and heard Master Yan say, "Your mech contains a rare mineral, Thunder Fire Rock. I don’t have any here."

"What should we do?" Qu Tong was taken aback, not expecting this snag.

Master Yan glanced at her, "That’s easy to handle. Have your friend ask the Royal Family for some. A fist-sized piece should be enough."
