Purchasing a Mech

"How can we trade?"

Before coming, Zhou Yi had already checked. The official price for a low-grade Crystal Stone, one that hadn't been cut yet, was ten thousand Star Coins.

Besides this, were there any other ways to trade?

"The first way is for your crystal stone businesses to purchase them at ten thousand Star Coins per piece. The second way is that we can set you up with a business membership, turning your two hundred thousand into a purchase credit for the business."

Zhou Yi understood. The second method was essentially getting a membership card, a VIP card. She was familiar with them.

"A credit of two hundred thousand can directly upgrade you to our Star Card membership, allowing you to enjoy a 5% discount on all store products and a 10% discount on Mech products."

Xiao Yin briefly explained the membership benefits to Zhou Yi. The lowest tier was the Star Card. A credit of one million would get you a Moon Card, and ten million would get you a Sun Card.

The higher the card tier, the greater the discount.

"I'll take it! Go ahead and load it for me."

This money was intended to be spent immediately anyway. Zhou Yi quickly did the math in her head. It was worth it!

"Alright, please follow me to the lobby counter to complete the process."

Xiao Yin led Zhou Yi out of the small room and to a counter for payments and processing.

Although called a counter, it was actually a row of machines about half a person's height.

Xiao Yin operated a few things, asking Zhou Yi to place her Star Brain's personal homepage near a small window on the machine. The process was then completed.

Zhou Yi looked at her Star Brain's account balance, where a membership logo for the Alliance Business had appeared below it, followed by a string of numbers: 200000.

"I also want to see Mechs. Can you take me?"

Zhou Yi was very satisfied with the beautiful sales associate, Xiao Yin, and asked her to show her the Mechs.

"Certainly, please follow me to the second floor."

The Mechs were all on the second floor of the business. Due to their size, the second floor had a very high ceiling.

After climbing the stairs, Zhou Yi only saw a single door.

Xiao Yin used her Star Brain to open the door and led Zhou Yi inside.

Opening the door revealed that the entire second floor was a large, open space, very airy, but there weren't many Mechs inside.

"Because Mechs are quite valuable, our business provides one-on-one service."

Perhaps sensing that it was Zhou Yi's first time visiting, Xiao Yin thoughtfully explained to her.

Upon entering, another beautiful lady was already introducing Mechs to some people.

As Zhou Yi walked past them, she glanced at the Mech they were looking at. It was a B-Class Mech, one she had seen on the Star Net before.

The actual product looked much more imposing and grand than the pictures on the Star Brain. Zhou Yi's eyes showed admiration.

Previously, at Huadun, she could at most see C-Class Mechs, and even then, they were displayed in glass cabinets. This was the first time Zhou Yi had seen so many excellent Mechs.

Indeed, Mechs were something that had to be seen in person.

"Your business really accepts all kinds of customers now, bringing people up to look even if they can't afford them."

A young man in his early twenties, who was looking at the B-Class Mech Zhou Yi was also eyeing, spoke with dissatisfaction and mockery.

"My apologies, sir. Miss here is one of our Star Card customers."

Xiao Yin smiled politely, coming to Zhou Yi's defense.

"Star Card? Don't tell me you got it by relying on your youthful, pretty face to trick some man. I advise you, if you have money, buy yourself some new clothes first, country bumpkin."

!!

When the man first started mocking her, she hadn't taken it to heart.

But when the man said his second sentence, Zhou Yi was stunned.

She knew she was young, but a pretty face?

Who? Her?

Zhou Yi subconsciously touched her face. Since starting school at Huadun, her appetite had increased dramatically, and she had gained quite a bit of weight.

Her face seemed to have filled out, becoming rounder and fairer. Her originally slightly gaunt features had become more delicate.

Although Zhou Yi didn't dress up at all and wore rather drab clothes, her tall, well-proportioned, muscular physique was undeniable, making it hard to ignore.

"Am I good-looking?"

Zhou Yi asked Xiao Yin beside her.

After thinking for a moment, she felt that a sales associate would never say anything negative to a customer.

So, she turned to the man who had provoked her and asked, "Am I good-looking?"

Zhou Yi tried her best to show a relatively standard smile.

This action completely flustered the young man.

"You're crazy! Vixen!"

After saying that, he turned away, no longer wanting to bother with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi was quite pleased with the nickname "Fox Spirit."

Understood, she's a beauty.

"Shall we go take a look at this Mech?"

Zhou Yi showed Xiao Yin the Mech she had collected earlier.

Seeing the image before her, Xiao Yin finally snapped back to reality.

"My apologies, my apologies, I'll take you to see it right away."

Xiao Yin apologized for her unprofessionalism.

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhou Yi said cheerfully, happy today.

When Zhou Yi saw the Mech she had been longing for, she was still stunned.

Even though she looked at pictures several times a day, seeing the real thing, she couldn't help but sigh that Mech Masters were truly amazing.

The Mech Zhou Yi chose was one of the smaller ones here, just over two meters, not quite three.

It was interwoven with light blue and silver, and the lights made its entire body seem to shimmer.

"You have excellent taste. For an A-Class Mech, this is our best light-weight Mech. It's just a step away from being an S-Class Mech."

Xiao Yin genuinely praised it, saying that in terms of practicality, cost-effectiveness, and appearance, this one was the best.

"Does it come with an internal energy unit?"

This was the question Zhou Yi cared about most.

"Yes, this Mech's energy unit is made from advanced Crystal Stones, which is also why it's not an S-Class Mech.

S-Class Mechs have energy units made from Attribute Crystal Stones; advanced Crystal Stones aren't enough."

Crystal Stones of a higher grade than advanced Crystal Stones, with 100% purity and inherent attributes, are called Attribute Crystal Stones.

Each Attribute Crystal Stone is extremely rare. When used in a Mech, it can not only serve as the Mech's energy unit but also help the Mech possess the Crystal Stone's attributes, increasing its power.

Only when an Attribute Crystal Stone is installed as the energy unit can it be considered an S-Class Mech.

The Mech Zhou Yi chose was only lacking in its energy unit.

"I'll buy it."

Seeing the real thing made Zhou Yi even more eager. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately decided to pay and make it hers.

Such a large purchase would normally make even wealthy people think twice, but the young girl before them did so without hesitation, showing no sign of regret. Even Xiao Yin was a bit surprised.

"Alright, I'll call a staff member up right away."

Purchasing a Mech didn't require the customer to go down; they could directly call professional staff to come up for the transaction, which was very convenient.

"Okay."

Zhou Yi touched the Mech that was about to be hers, feeling excited.

"You'll follow me from now on."
