Chapter 251: Chapter 250 Extremely Successful Marketing

For relieving wrist soreness, supplied exclusively by the military.

Qu Tong opened the communication and found an unread message from Si Yuting.

Upon opening, it was knowledge about wrist care, seemingly copied from somewhere by Yuting, quite professional indeed.

Qu Tong took the ointment back to the dormitory and replied to Yuting with a message, "Your Highness, how did you know?"

Yuting did not reply immediately; Qu Tong did not mind and went to take a shower in the bathroom first.

Afterward, she took out the ointment and applied it while massaging her wrist as instructed.

The light computer on the desk flickered twice.

Qu Tong only went to check after she had finished applying the ointment.

Yuting: "Sent by the Empress Mother."

A video was attached to the message.

It was the big screen playback of her competition with Liu Hang, but it seemed to have been recorded by a student or an instructor—the last few seconds even captured her dismounting from the mecha.

After cancelling the operation, she opened the mecha cockpit.

Her right hand trembled a bit after being lifted from the console; she massaged it with her left hand until it felt slightly better.

It was only a one- or two-second shot; normal people were focused on her winning the competition, yet Yuting had noticed.

She wasn’t sure if it was because of his innate sharpness or his concern for her that made him so attentive.

Nevertheless, she found it very helpful.

Qu Tong: "The effect is very good, thank you, Your Highness! /Heart [Emoji]"

This was indeed true; the sore and fatigued sensation in her wrist had significantly decreased.

Seeing that Yuting did not reply again, Qu Tong assumed he was busy with other matters and did not want to disturb him further.

Qu Tong exercised her still mildly uncomfortable wrist and temporarily avoided checking the red dots in her contact list.

Alas—

That ten percent bonus is not so easy to earn.

Comparatively, operating a spiritual power mecha is more effortless.

The Sky-roaming Prime Mecha is highly demanding on hand speed; it was already her limit during the exam, using it frequently would definitely lead to cramps.

However, in times of need, it could serve as her final weapon or ace in the hole.

The matter between Qu Tong and Xu An quickly became the focus of discussion at the school.

Although Xu An’s last match ended in a draw, he displayed strength surpassing most A-rank students, and managing to hold up until the end of the match against a higher-ranked challenger, the instructors also gave him high marks.

Therefore, both Qu Tong and Xu An were deemed to have passed the exam.

The mocking voices ceased for a while.

Those who once looked down on Qu Tong for her F-rank physique also fell silent.

After all, she may have an F-rank physique, but she could pilot a mecha with S-rank strength—what right did those below S-rank have to look down on her?

Qu Tong single-handedly shattered the sense of superiority held by half of the students in the Mecha Single Soldier Department.

At the same time, she gave hope to many others.

This incident also spread beyond the school and onto the star web, with many people beginning to inquire about the mecha Qu Tong piloted; the Bai Family seized the opportunity to promote their latest research achievement.

They had kept the progress a secret until now, but riding on the wave of Qu Tong’s success, they fully established the reputation of the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha.

Currently, the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha was still in testing, with official sales set to start next year.

In just one day, the internet was full of news about the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha, and the video of Qu Tong’s exam was circulated by countless people.

The anticipation was at an all-time high, making this marketing campaign undoubtedly a success.

With three months to go until next year, the hype for the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha will only continue to grow.

After waking up, Xu An returned the concoction to Song Ke.

Several people decided to go to Drunken Star River to celebrate again.

The menu at Drunken Star River had gradually perfected, and with Qu Tong’s recipes and supply, it’d become the hottest restaurant on Capital Star.

The moment Fei Wenxing sat down, he furiously ordered one signature dish after another, and of course, he couldn’t miss out on the grape wine.

While waiting for the dishes, Fei Wenxing couldn’t help but start bragging—and his target was none other than Qu Tong.

"Sister Tong, I told you you’d make it! So cool you can’t even handle it. Those who look down on people with disdain..."

"Enough, I know." Qu Tong interrupted Fei Wenxing’s endless tirade before he could go on.

Fei Wenxing wore the face of someone grievously wronged while Cheng Yao snickered on the side.

Then, the conversation shifted to the Sky-roaming Prime Mecha.

"Then, could I also pilot the Bai Family’s mecha and demonstrate S-rank strength?" Fei Wenxing’s eyes gleamed with eager anticipation.

"In principle, yes," Song Ke answered for Qu Tong.

"I think it’d be a nightmare for the clumsy-hand faction. Did you not see Sister Tong’s terrifying hand speed? I could never do that," Cheng Yao was more realistic.

Fei Wenxing’s previously shining expression instantly deflated, looking as if the whole world had abandoned him.

"Captain, how much is your mecha roughly priced at?" Of all the people, He Zhou was more curious about the price.

"The Crown Princess Consort said mine is the highest quality set available for sale, the price won’t be less than eight million," Qu Tong stated bluntly.

Upon hearing the price, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

They were still worried about whether they could utilize the mecha’s full power, which was plainly an overthought.

He Zhou immediately gave up on the idea.

"No wonder the Bai Family never mentions the price when advertising their mechas," Cheng Yao said disdainfully.

"Exactly, at this price, only those rich kids with lesser talents could afford it," Fei Wenxing nodded in agreement.

He already owned two mechas. If it had been cheaper, he might have considered it, but this was too expensive.

If he dared to ask for one, his dad would break his legs.

Qu Tong smiled, "There should be some models with lower prices."

Mechas had always been a luxury within the luxury goods market, and not many people owned them.

The report that the Bai Family showed her categorized the mechas into several ranks, suggesting they might be planning to make them more widespread.

Of course, that was just her guess.

This would be a massive project, where reducing the cost of mechas alone was a big issue, not to mention the pressure from the entire industry.

The group chatted and enjoyed the gourmet food; this was probably their last dinner together for the year.

After the holidays, Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao were off to be drilled in the Legion, Xu An and He Zhou planned to continue working as mercenaries, and Song Ke had to wait for his family’s arrangements.

Qu Tong hadn’t decided yet whether to go back to Luyi Star or stay in Yuelan Bay.

Truth be told, she’d love to travel around with Xu An, but she didn’t want to bring along five little tails.

Ever since Qu Tong had become famous from a single battle, her return to school had attracted much attention.

She heard quite a bit of whispering as she passed, most of it the same story.

"Do you know? That’s that person, ... so awesome!"

Occasionally, she’d hear people comparing her to Lan Weiying, but now the atmosphere had completely changed; no one degraded her anymore.

Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao pulled sunglasses out of the Space Button and put them on, parading about as if afraid others wouldn’t recognize them—heads held high, chests puffed out, they strutted like leaders on inspection, almost too embarrassed to watch.

Qu Tong and Song Ke wanted nothing more than to stay far away from them.

Fortunately, Ceng Yaojin came out of nowhere.

"Hey! Isn’t that Chen Erhu? What are you running for... Jade, chase him!"

The two conspicuous individuals ran off, mocking Chen Erhu as they went.

For once, Qu Tong found Lan Xingye’s lackey rather pleasing to the eye.
