Chapter 1234.

“This gift, it’s really special ……”

Gazing at the holographic image presented in front of his eyes, Wang Chen couldn’t help but widen his eyes as well.

The gift that Akemi had given him was clearly a battle mech design!

This mech was very obviously different from the fighter mechs that Wang Chuan had seen, and its biggest feature should be that it was handsome.

Whether it’s the main body, limbs or the first level, whether it’s the external armor or the color paint, or the wings unfolding in the back, it’s powerful, domineering and cool, perfectly in line with the image of the strongest mech in the minds of hot-blooded teenagers.

Although Wang Chen had long since stopped being a hot-blooded teenager, this specially designed mech still evoked a trace of passion in his heart.

It was the desire for battle!

“Its name is Snapdragon, its height is 13.75 meters, its weight is 10.5 tons, it carries two PC6600 engines, and its main weapon is the 150mm Super Particle Cannon ……”

Wang Chen’s gaze unconsciously left the mecha in front of him and landed on Akemi who was introducing herself next to him.

This young girl’s eyes were glowing at the moment, and she didn’t notice that Wang Chuan was looking at her, as she explained the data, characteristics, and combat power index of this self-named “Snapdragon” mecha with incomparable seriousness and dedication.

Wang Chen felt that this kind of Ming Mei was the most beautiful!

Of course, he memorized every word his girlfriend said.

Undoubtedly, the Snapdragon was a self-modified battle mech that Akemi had specially tailored for Wang Dust, and it belonged to the standard twin-engine medium-sized mechs, and whether it was in terms of thrust, endurance, armor, weapons, or auxiliary stats, it was a top-notch in the medium-sized machines.

This mech also carries an AT force field generator, and its defense is already no weaker than that of a small airship.

The problem is that ……

Wang Dust asked, “What is the budget?”

This question caused the young girl’s glowing face to instantly collapse, and she lowered her head, peeling her fingernails apprehensively as she whispered, “At least fifty million star dollars.”

Fifty million star dollars!

Knowing that an average white-collar worker’s monthly salary was only 4,000 or 5,000 star dollars, 50 million was 10,000 months of income!

Wang Chen recalled the balance in his Imperial Bank account and couldn’t help but sigh.

Poor ah!

Akemi was even more uneasy: “I, I still have more than a hundred thousand in my account ……”

Wang Chen was dumbfounded and reached out to embrace the other party into his arms, “Thank you!”

He gazed down at the young girl and said, “This mech is very good, and I like it a lot, believe me, I will be able to save up the cost of building it and make your design a reality!”

Battle mechs could be mainly categorized into standardized mechs and self-modified mechs, the former were basically mass-produced models, such as the ZS-057G Fist Blade that had been used in Wang Dust’s battle training earlier.

The advantage of the standardized mechs was that they were extremely versatile, capable of mounting all kinds of standard accessories and also interchangeable parts, which was best suited to the needs of large-scale warfare.

However, mechs, especially middle and high-level mechs, often had strong personalities, as well as unique fighting styles.

The standardized mechs were bound to be unable to fully satisfy their combat needs.

This gave rise to self-modified mechs.

Self-modified mechs can be said to be born out of a person, is a mech’s exclusive combat weapon, powerful mechs with a high degree of fit of self-modified mechs, often able to play out 100% of the strength!

In addition the nature of the self-modified mech determines that it will not be as easy to be targeted by the enemy as a standardized mech.

However, under normal circumstances, the Empire would not provide a budget for a mechmaster’s self-modified mech.

How to modify it was a matter for the mechmaster himself, and of course, he had to pay for it himself, or else he would have to use a standardized mech.

In this regard, mechs from noble clans held a great advantage.

This was because they were able to obtain the support of their families and could afford to pay for the modifications.

But Wang dust is not only a commoner, or war dead orphans, and Akemi is only a small baron’s daughter, the two of them together can not buy the assembly of the “primus” of an engine.

Not even a fraction.

The price of a PC6600 engine is more than seven million stars!

Akemi’s idea was very beautiful, and she also put her heart and soul into it, but the reality was so cruel.

But if she had such a heart, Wang Chen was happy.

As for the exorbitant cost, it was just a matter of slowly earning it, and anyway, he was going to stay in the First Military Academy for more than three years.

“Hmm.”

Akemi also knew that her thoughts were a bit naive, but under Wang Chen’s comfort, her heart was filled with happiness, wishing for time to stop at this moment forever.

However, just as the two of them were in a tender moment, Wang Chuan’s personal terminal suddenly vibrated and a message alert popped up.

Wang Chen clicked on it and realized that the message was a letter of commendation!

He had just received a fifth-class merit award from the Imperial Military Department, as well as a Bronze Star Medal.

The Imperial Army’s military merits were divided into seven classes, special class, first class, second class, third class, fourth class, fifth class, and sixth class.

This fifth-class merit of Wang Chen’s originated from the battle result of killing pirates on the Far Star cruise ship when he came to the First Military Academy.

This incident happened half a year ago, and although Wang Chen’s battle merit was reported by the Imperial Security Bureau, there was no news afterward, causing him to think that it was over.

He didn’t expect this commendation to arrive until today!

“Fifth-class merit!”

Ming Mei, who was nestled in Wang Chen’s arms, also saw the news and couldn’t help but feel elated for him, “Great!”

The empire had always emphasized on military merits, and although the fifth class merit was not very high, once Wang Dust officially joined the army, he would be able to move up a level with this battle merit, and his treatment would be very different.

“Not bad.”

Wang Dust smiled and closed the message, mentally thinking about how to make money.

There was no family support behind him, he could only rely on himself for everything, unless he worked as a dog for the noble children, it wasn’t easy to get resources, and the status of a student was also a big constraint.

That night, Wang Chen purposely took time out to enter the Star Ocean Network, searching for various doors and methods of earning star dollars.

Originally, he had been raking in the gold in the Star Ocean Arena, and now with the great increase in his win rate, the amount of star dollars he could earn was getting smaller and smaller.

In fact, even if he could continue to earn, the Star Dollars he earned were far from enough to satisfy Wang Chen’s needs.

What Wang Chuan didn’t expect was that he didn’t find a suitable way to make money on the internet, but instead, the Abnormal Insight Society gave himself a small surprise.

The day after he returned to the academy, a member of the Society of Anomalous Insights found Wang Chuan.

This member’s name was Sun Xinhong, and he wanted to ask Wang Duan to be his martial arts instructor.

“You want to learn physical arts and fighting arts from me?”

Wang Dust was curious, “Then how much are you going to pay?”

Being a private tutor was no problem, the question was how much sincerity the other party had, his time was very valuable.

Sun Xinhong immediately reported a figure.

But that wasn’t the point, the point was that he wanted a group purchase!
