Troublemakers Had Arrived
(Congratulations to the sect leader "Remnant★Snow Without Trace" for reaching 50,000 fan points! This is the second bonus chapter!)
"Country Bumpkin! Hahaha, this is hilarious! Mu Fan!"
The black in the ear added a sarcastic remark.
However, Mu Fan ignored Hei and was instead attracted by the peculiar appearance of the two people in front of him.
Its unusually protruding forehead, purple eyes, and wrinkles on its face all indicate that it is not human.
The two were dressed identically, with a strange symbol embroidered on their collars and cuffs.
Seeing Mu Fan's gaze as if he were looking at a strange animal, the two became somewhat annoyed.
"What an ignorant Country Bumpkin!"
Mu Fan ignored the two men and instead focused his gaze on the fiery red mecha behind them.
At a height of about five meters, a considerable crowd had already gathered, and Mu Fan was very interested in the unique right-hand weapon.
"Hmph, boring."
Seeing that Mu Fan didn't react at all, the two of them stopped paying attention and walked away.
"Mu Fan, we've found the information on those two. They're the managers of the Peier Merchant Guild in the Xinqiluo Business Alliance exchange group, and they're from the Purple Whisker Race. What I'm curious about is how calm you are when others are mocking you."
"I want to see mecha!"
Mu Fan's simple five words shut down Hei's words. Now, in his eyes, the mechas filling the exhibition hall were what truly piqued his interest.
Besides, they're so ugly, I really don't want to look at them anymore.
Mu Fan didn't say those words aloud.
"Hello sir, this is a product of Huoqi Mecha Company, an A-level enterprise of the Xinqiluo Business Alliance. It was designed by Leonard, the company's senior mech design master. This mech's ground performance is 5 percentage points better than other mechs of the same level. The engine uses Xinqiluo's latest 5th generation specification technology, and the price is reasonable—only 1.5 million Star Coin!"
As Mu Fan was looking at the relatively flat, fiery red mecha, a girl wearing a white women's blouse and a black skirt walked over and spoke to Mu Fan in an elegant and friendly tone.
"Are you also from Xinqiluo? You look different from the other two." Mu Fan's words made the girl opposite him burst out laughing.
"Sir, no, I'm a student at the Green Leaf Academy. This is a holiday job." The girl nodded with a smile.
Mu Fan understood, and said with an apologetic look, "Let me take another look."
"Okay, you can continue walking around here. This mecha exhibition will last for a month, and there are many types and models of mechas. The Huoqi Mecha Company I work for mainly produces insect-inspired bionic mechas, which have excellent power characteristics, and the prices are slightly higher than those in the Federation." The girl in front of him smiled politely at Mu Fan.
Mu Fan nodded. After hearing what the girl said, he had a general idea of what was going on. The variety of items in this exhibition should be quite comprehensive!
After thanking the girl in front of him, Mu Fan continued straight along the road in front of him.
The glass curtain wall overhead in this hall filters and projects light evenly, making it bright but not dazzling. The various booths inside the exhibition hall are arranged in a chessboard pattern, with straight lines separating them.
"Batelai Mecha Company returns with three of its latest Class B mechs!"
"Samuer Heavy Industries' strongest Adventure Grade mech - Cancer K71!"
The various mechs standing in front of the booths, each in a different pose, dazzled Mu Fan's eyes.
There was a volcano-type mech whose entire upper body was almost completely covered by dense rocket launchers, Leopard-type Mecha with high-speed jumping devices and plasma cutters installed on its limbs, Mu Fan also saw a bulky and huge heavy shield mech that was more than ten meters tall.
According to the people at the booth, this mech is equipped with a separate jet engine and recovery device in its fist, hence its nickname "Heavy Punch Missile"!
That steel fist, with a diameter of two meters, would probably severely injure the pilot inside the opposing mech with a single punch.
There is another hand that can turn into a drill bit, and then instantly transform into a hydraulic impact drill at the wrist.
Nicknamed "Pile Driver"!
If it weren't for his understated yet undeniably luxurious attire, the mecha sales representatives from these companies would probably have kicked Mu Fan out long ago.
I squeezed to the front and stood there for ages to listen to him finish, but in the end, I walked away without even blinking.
Each company was doing its best to promote and introduce the advantages of its mechs to every customer. But customers like Mu Fan were simply too much to handle.
The exhibition hall is divided into 50 exhibition areas, with several companies in each area.
I haven't finished exploring exhibition area number 36 yet.
All the mechs in this exhibition area come from the Xinqiluo Business Alliance. It's not that their mechs are bad; on the contrary, they look more refined than those from the Federation. However, Mu Fan is not interested in mechs that are overly equipped with firepower systems or are too bulky.
Several streamlined mechs were available for both air and ground combat, but Mu Fan still gave up on them.
These are all shooting-enhanced mechs, and they also incorporate a certain degree of bionic biology.
It doesn't suit his aesthetic sense!
Having been overwhelmed by the sights along the way, Mu Fan gradually walked out of exhibition area 36. Ahead was exhibition area 37, where a silver mecha standing at the head of the group was attracting a lot of attention.
"Arabela Weapons Company, that's an arms company. I think this is their first mecha this year, but it looks very sophisticated."
"Yes, this mech's power system is truly outstanding. Did you see it? The description says it uses Turbine Helium Core Engine jointly developed by Alabella and Dawn Power Laboratory. It has a 20% instantaneous power increase compared to the current sixth-generation standard engine. This means that the mech has a better response under extreme conditions, and the increased power output also helps with maneuvering and evasion."
"What's the name of this mech?"
"Wind Speed Gladiator," a product manager in a suit said with a smile to the person asking the question.
Alabella, headquartered on Zicui Star, has laboratories in all four star sectors and is a subsidiary of the Birch Group.
Zhang Yuanren is also Alabella's successor!
Even with Mu Fan's experience with the Shura, he had to admit that this mecha was really beautiful, with a silver-white outer shell and both long-range and close-range combat capabilities.
"Everyone can take a look at the combat test video of our mech." The product manager smiled and pointed to the side, where a holographic combat video of a Wind Speed Gladiator appeared.
This silver-white mech, wielding a magnificent Light Beam Sword, confronts a military Sword Shield Mecha.
As the Wind Speed Gladiator began its sprint, it easily dodged several shots fired from the shoulder cannon by the opposing Sword Shield Mecha. Several bursts of acceleration allowed the mech to narrowly miss the cannonballs, making everyone hold their breath.
Finally, when it closed to within 10 meters, the Wind Speed Gladiator Light Beam Sword unleashed a long-range horizontal slash, and a pale purple light screen shot out and entered the opponent's body. The opponent seemed to be paralyzed and was instantly pierced through by the Light Beam Sword.
A perfect score!
The holographic screen displayed the unique Michael Particle Interference System of this mech's Light Beam Sword.
"Wow, that mecha is so cool!! How much is it? I want to pre-order!"
"Hello sir, the Wind Speed Gladiator is currently available for pre-order during a roadshow. The first batch of prototype mechs also has high collectible value. You can pre-order this sharp and cool mech for only 22 million Star Coin."
"Can I register my information first? I need to apply for funds from my dad."
"Very well, wise and intelligent young master."
"Can I take a picture and send it to my boyfriend? He's next door, and I'll ask him to come over."
"Of course, beautiful lady!"
The man in the suit answered with ease.
At this moment, Mu Fan, frowning, suddenly spoke up, "Is this Michael Particle Light Beam Sword standard equipment on this mech? The description says the engine's instantaneous power is increased by 20%, but the Light Beam Sword's output power directly affects the weapon's power. I feel that this mech, which is marketed for its high mobility, shouldn't be equipped with this weapon. The moment it pierced the Sword Shield Mecha, the Light Beam Sword clearly turned red; at that instant, the mech's power should have decreased sharply, not increased! Could you please show me the detailed data for this mech's engine?"
Mu Fan's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
The crowd that was squeezing to register suddenly quieted down.
What this kid said seems to make some sense!
Meanwhile, the product manager's face turned cold; someone had come to cause trouble on the very first day of the roadshow.
A hand gesture was subtly raised behind him, and the staff behind him immediately went to call their chief test pilot.
