Chapter 1252.

“But, but we’re still short of money for the customized mechs ……”

In response to Wang Dust’s suggestion, Akemi rarely agreed immediately, but instead frowned.

By customized mecha, she was referring to her own brand new design and tailor-made combat armament for Wang Dust, the Snapdragon.

A medium-sized mecha equipped with dual PC6600 engines, as well as a 150mm super particle cannon!

Ming Mei studied civilian and military mech design at the First Military Academy, she was quite talented in her specialty, her grades were always among the top, and she had high hopes of staying in school for further study after graduation, or entering a certain large-scale military enterprise to work in a related field.

A year ago, Akemi had designed the primus for Wang Chen.

However, at that time, there was only a three-dimensional rendering and paper parameters, and countless work was still needed to truly realize the purpose.

It was impossible to come up with drawings that could be used for manufacturing without going through back-and-forth revisions and tests.

Over the past year, Akemi had also spent a great deal of time on this.

It was because this mecha carried her emotions towards Wang Chen.

Since the cost of construction was very high, that was why Ming Mei volunteered to help Wang Dust speculate on the stock market as a way to obtain funds to support this program.

As of now, the star dollars she earned from the stock market was less than a third of the Snapdragon’s construction cost!

As the program continued to improve, in the pursuit of perfection, the cost of this exclusive mech was also rising.

“There’s no rush.”

Wang Chen hugged his girlfriend tightly and kissed her on her bare white forehead, then said, “I’m capable of earning this amount of money without speculating on the stock market, the current risk of the stock market is too high, there’s no need for us to take any more chances.”

To put it bluntly, Akemi was just a retailer, under the big market, she could rely on her intuition and superpower to earn profits.

But once the banker came down, it was impossible to overcome even with the opening!

Although Wang Dust doesn’t know much about the imperial stock market, the experience set over from his previous life won’t make much difference.

Capital was meant to eat people since its birth!

“Alright.”

Akemi was aggressively convinced by Wang Dust, “Then I’ll dump all my remaining stocks and stop speculating.”

“That’s right.”

Wang Dust laughed, “Trust me, money really isn’t a problem!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that purchasing high-energy level ingredients for a long time had consumed a lot of money, the Star Dollars for customizing the exclusive mech would have long ago come up with enough.

Wang Dust’s investment in purchasing five-colored venison and other ingredients of the same grade over the past year had left the intermediary on Zhao Rongcheng’s side in awe and feeling incredible.

Wang Dust didn’t let the other party suffer either, paying an extra commission on every transaction.

This ensured a long-term stable supply of goods.

Of course his payment was bound to be extremely great.

If Wang Chuan hadn’t erected the signboard of “Best External Physical Arts Instructor” in the First Military Academy and harvested waves of leeks, he wouldn’t have been able to support such high expenses.

However, after breaking through the sixth layer of his Heavenly Dragon Vajra Technique, he fell into a long-term bottleneck.

To be precise, the high energy level ingredients such as the five-colored venison could no longer serve as a gaining and supplementary effect.

If Wang Chen wanted to break through the seventh layer, he had to obtain higher energy level resources.

In this way, Zhao Rongcheng’s intermediary on his side could do nothing – not only were ingredients at this level precious, they were also resources that were strictly controlled by the higher levels of the empire.

Without heavenly channels, no amount of star dollars would be able to get their hands on it.

With Zhao Rongcheng’s identity, he might be able to get some, but the price he paid was bound to be very high.

Wang Dust didn’t want to owe him another favor.

Therefore, Wang Chen decided to put down the advancement of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Correcting Technique for now and focus on the enhancement of his spiritual energy.

The large amount of money saved this way could be injected into the primordial program!

As for this mech that Ming Mei had carefully designed for herself, Wang Dust was of course very supportive.

Because under normal circumstances, the effectiveness that a tailor-made exclusive mech can exert in battle is 20-30% stronger than a general-purpose mech, and some are even higher.

On the battlefield, not to mention a 20-30% enhancement, even a 5% enhancement could determine the pilot’s victory or defeat, life or death!

“I’ve applied for a secondary enhancement.”

Wang Chen touched Akemi’s face and said; “After completing it, I’ll apply for the A-ranked warjack certification.”

Through the past two years of study and practical exercises in the First Military Academy, he fully understood how much a mechanic’s individual quality and strength could affect the might of a mech!

Quite a few high-end models of mechs were simply unmanageable by ordinary battle clerics.

A top-tier mech would inevitably have to be equipped with a top-tier warjack!

When the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Orthodoxy was stuck in a bottleneck and temporarily unable to obtain resources for a higher energy level, Wang Chen decided to find another way to achieve a breakthrough through a second genetic enhancement.

A direct leap to the seventh level definitely couldn’t be done, but being able to get a little stronger was worth the investment!

Because the war was coming.

Wang Chen had a strong premonition that his peaceful learning life in the academy would soon be broken.

“Really?”

Akemi wasn’t even aware of Wang Dust’s inner thoughts, she was just surprised for him, “Brother, you’re too powerful!”

“I’m even more awesome.”

Listening to his girlfriend’s delicate and soft voice, Wang Chen couldn’t help but be distracted, and backhandedly pressed her underneath him.

Akemi ate and laughed, and the room was suddenly filled with spring.

After one night, the next morning, Wang Chen got up in high spirits, kissed his tired girlfriend goodbye, and then came to the academy’s gene center alone.

The First Military Academy’s gene center provided up to three times of genetic enhancement services, and since Wang Chuan had already made an appointment in advance and paid up to five million star dollars for the secondary enhancement, he entered the operating room without any problems.

And the process of Wang Chuan’s second reinforcement could be described as uneventful, although the amount of high-energy grade nutrient solution consumed also exceeded the normal level, it was far less exaggerated than the first time.

When he walked out of the gene center, the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Orthodoxy achieved a breakthrough as expected.

Unfortunately, the breakthrough was not big, merely allowing Wang Chen to step into the sixth intermediate level.

Wang Chen had prepared for this, so he didn’t feel like wasting his money.

At a realm like his, a little bit of progress was rare, after all, the Star Ocean World was a big world on the technology side, not a world on the mystical side like the Haotian Realm, where the limits of the human body could be easily broken.

Wang Chen had already thought about not considering this type of enhancement anymore after completing at most one more genetic enhancement in the future.

Next, he once again went to the headquarters of the War Cleric Association in Taiwu Star to apply for certification as a Class A War Cleric.

For Wang Chen, a young high-level warjob applicant, the staff at the headquarters still had a deep impression, and immediately notified the upper management.

And this time, it was not a higher ranked warjobber who conducted the assessment on Wang Dust, but two A-class warjobbers.

Not only that, but there were also a number of high-ranking members of the BattleJobbers Association observing at the examination site!
