"But, but we're still far short of the money for the custom mech..."
For once, Akemi did not immediately agree with Wang Chen's suggestion. Instead, she knitted her brows tightly.
The custom mech she spoke of was a combat machine she had designed from scratch and tailored specifically for Wang Chen—Valiant General.
A medium mech equipped with twin PC6600 engines and a 150mm Super Particle Cannon!
Akemi had studied civilian and military mech design at the First Military Academy. She was exceptionally talented in her field, consistently ranking among the best in her class. After graduation, she had every chance of remaining at the academy for further study or joining a major military corporation in related work.
A year ago, Akemi had designed Valiant General for Wang Chen.
But at the time, it had only existed as a three-dimensional concept image and a sheet of specifications. Countless more steps were needed before it could truly become reality.
Without revisions and testing, again and again, there would be no way to produce blueprints fit for manufacturing.
Over the past year, Akemi had also devoted a great deal of time to it.
Because this mech carried her feelings for Wang Chen.
Since the cost was so high, Akemi had volunteered to trade stocks for Wang Chen, hoping to earn the funding needed to support the project.
So far, the Star Yuan she had earned from the stock market amounted to less than a third of Valiant General's cost!
As the design continued to improve in pursuit of perfection, the cost of this exclusive mech was also rising.
"There's no rush."
Wang Chen held his girlfriend closer and kissed her smooth, fair forehead. Then he said, "Even without trading stocks, I can earn that money. The stock market is too risky right now.
