[1] Genius Mechanic

Chapter 20

The virtual store was right next to KID's virtual base image. On the left side was an announcement board with the long-standing KID recruitment notice for maintenance technicians. Now, the notice was gone, replaced by a grand opening notice for KID's Parts Shop.

[New store opening, all parts in the arena are discounted today. Buy 3 items and get a 10% discount, buy 10 items and get an 8% discount.]

Upon entering, they were directed to the Mecha Market Parts Street.

The store was simple, with basic decorations and a few glass display cabinets. It lacked unnecessary embellishments, looking like an ordinary three-nothing store. If it weren't for the redirection from KID's official blog, fans might have thought they were in the wrong place.

A cheap atmosphere hit them, making the fans who rushed to the store entrance stop in their tracks.

Entering the store to check the situation, many fans crowded around the display cabinets to see the information about the parts. KID wasn't selling expensive parts forged from high-quality materials. The parts included common models like A-GZ1456, A-GZ6666, which could be found in the market or on shopping websites. There were about ten different models, all A-grade parts, with prices ranging from 9 to 15 star coins.

These were old models that sold for 30,000 star coins in the market. Did KID go crazy, selling them at such high prices?

The store also displayed the detection rate of the parts, but not many believed it.

Nowadays, there were too many forged detection graphs on the virtual Star Network. More buyers preferred to believe the detection graphs from reputable organizations rather than those provided by the sellers themselves.

People familiar with mecha also had some understanding of parts, especially the model and market price of the parts. Knowing the performance and characteristics of the parts, they could tell what kind of performance the goods offered.

For example, claiming that A-GZ1456 could achieve a precision of 55 was like taking advantage of those who didn't know much about mecha. Moreover, mech pilots who required a precision of 55 would be better off adding a few more thousand star coins to buy top-quality parts from well-known sellers. These parts were compatible with A-level mecha, whereas A-GZ series parts were mostly outdated and less compatible.

Many fans rushed in to see the excitement, but some were there to do charity work, attracted by KID's reputation.

Manager Liu had been monitoring this store for a long time. Every time he messaged the store, there was no response. Today, as soon as he logged in, he received the store opening reminder and hurried to the store with his subordinates. Upon entering the store, he saw a swarm of people.

This almost drove him crazy. His superior, Boss Zhou, specifically instructed him to grab all other types of parts. Seeing so many people, he was worried. Who knew that most of these people came to watch, and there weren't many buyers.

He squeezed through to the front of the cabinet, but thankfully, the items were still there!

"Boss, how much should we buy?" his subordinate asked.

Manager Liu: "Nonsense, Boss Zhou told me, buy them all."

The store had only been open for a short two minutes, and several parts had already been sold.

The prices were high, but people were still willing to spend money.

The store continued to be lively for a while, but suddenly, several cabinets in the store darkened!

[All goods sold out in the store, welcome to come back next time!]

Netizens: ???!

KID's new store displayed about a dozen types of parts, with a total inventory of around three hundred items. In just a short five minutes, all these expensive mech parts were sold out!
