Chapter 25 Mecha Afterglow

With a huge sum of money in his arms, Xu Jiang began to choose gifts on the black market.

The reward for this mission is 120 exotic crystals, which are very valuable.

The currency circulating in Yong'an City uses credit points, but that is an officially recognized currency, but it is not a currency recognized by the black market.

After all, few people working in the black market would give the mayor face. Compared with credits with the same number, heterogonal crystals that can be used as energy sources are obviously more recognized by people.

Therefore, for this mission, Ying Xiaoxiao specifically requested the settlement of exotic crystals. Each one is worth close to 20,000 credit points. This gift is definitely quite luxurious.

Of course, Xu Jiang also politely gave in and let the five people share the money. After all, everyone fought for it with their own lives. It is not good for one person to dominate.

But, they don’t want it! They insist on giving it.

There was no other way, Xu Jiang could only accept the money with tears in his eyes and go shopping with a smile.

There are so many products in the black market. After shopping for half an hour, I only visited a few stores. If I wanted to see them all, I might not be able to make a selection until dawn. I can only listen to everyone's suggestions.

Sand Tutor's suggestion is more pertinent: "How about you buy this sniper rifle? Level 10 purple, your level is almost there."

"No, my talent is very special. Choosing a weapon depends only on fate."

Ying Xiaoxiao's suggestion is more long-term: "Just buy a house in the city center. The house price in that place will maintain its value and it will be considered an investment."

"Team leader, you really know how to make a living. I still want to spend money to improve my combat power."

Baozi's suggestion was more direct: "I see some girls over there are waving to you, how about we..."

"Team leader, Baozi encouraged me to visit the red light district."

"No, team leader, please listen to my explanation. It was those girls who made the move first. I...ah! Don't draw your gun!"

As for the last one, Xiao Zhen, who was happily eating ice cream with his ghost, probably couldn't give him any good advice.

…

It’s really uncomfortable to have money and nowhere to spend it.

When he was in trouble, Qianji spoke.

"General, I found a very suitable power mecha ahead. Can you take it down?"

Qianji's request did not exceed Xu Jiang's expectations.

After all, in the column of upgrade materials, only [Power Mecha] and [Magic Energy Alloy] are left unaccounted for.

[Magic Alloy] is simple and can be bought if you have money, but mechas are hard to choose.

Either the attributes are too poor and cannot meet the purple level standard, or the price is very expensive.

This time it was selected by Qianji. I don’t know the price, so I’ll go and take a look first.

Following Qianji's guidance, Xu Jiang came to a stall.

Although this stall is located in a dirty corner, there are many onlookers.

After trying his best to squeeze in, Xu Jiang saw an old man wearing a black cloak and with a very gaunt figure.

And he only has one product, which is a set of level 20 orange-level power mecha placed in front of him.

Excluding the green suit, the quality of the remaining single pieces of equipment is divided into: white, blue, purple, pink, and orange.

This orange quality is undoubtedly the strongest among level 20 mechas. It is generally collected by major forces as a strategic material for the core of training.

I didn't expect to appear here and be spotted by Qianji.

The price of a mecha that has reached the orange level must be ridiculously expensive. The money on hand should be...

"What!! We only sold 100 exotic crystals!" Xu Jiang was shocked. Is this considered a mistake?

Although it is a level 20 powered mecha and is considered equipment for beginners, it does not cost 100 exotic crystals.

At this price, let alone orange level, you can’t even buy it in pink level.

While Xu Jiang was marveling, Shatu patted him on the shoulder and whispered a warning in his ear: "Don't buy it, this mecha can't be used."

Xu Jiang was stunned and asked: "Can't use it? Why?"

"Look at its durability. It's gone. This mecha is completely scrapped."

Hearing this, Xu Jiang quickly checked the performance of the mecha.

The shield, amplification, and power core are all at a very high level. The only thing that makes the entire mecha look like scrap metal is its durability.

[Durability: 1/1]

"How is that possible! How long has this mecha been used for?" Xu Jiang was also a little crazy.

No wonder these people are standing here admiring each other, but no one takes action.

Each piece of equipment has its own durability, but low-level equipment generally receives little attention.

The reason is very simple. Low-level equipment is eliminated quickly and its durability cannot be used up.

And even if it breaks, you can still find someone to repair it, but the upper limit of durability will drop a little.

But for the set in front of me, the upper limit of durability has dropped directly to 1. This is a heirloom that has been passed down for generations! The surface of the mecha has been rounded by you.

A buyer next to me bargained for a price: "I'll buy 10 heterocrystals and put them on display for decoration. Do you want to sell them?"

A mecha with only 1 point left will fall apart in 10 minutes on the battlefield. If someone is willing to pay for it, it's pretty good.

But the old man still squatted there, looking down at the armor without saying a word, obviously not wanting to bargain with anyone.

The passerby snorted coldly, put down a sarcastic remark, waved his sleeves and left.

Xu Jiang also fell into deep thought and started talking to Qian Mi.

'Are you sure you can use this powered mecha? It has no durability.'

"Okay, all I need is the circuit template of the power armor. My final form is still a liquid mecha. The durability will not affect my ability to reshape my body."

'It sounds very professional. You can control it yourself. As long as you are sure that buying this thing will be beneficial to you.'

"Yes, General, this mecha suits me very well. It contains some special skills that will be of great help to my advancement."

After receiving the final confirmation, Xu Jiang no longer hesitated.

His foundation is mecha, which can perfectly evolve mecha and is more precious than any wealth.

"I bought this mecha." Xu Jiang suddenly said, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Sand Tutor quickly advised: "Don't be impulsive. The upper limit of the durability of this mecha can no longer be restored. It will be scrapped if you buy it."

"Don't worry, I have my own ideas and I have ways to use him."

As if he heard Xu Jiang's whisper, the old man raised his head for the first time, and a strange color flashed in his cloudy eyes.

But the old man still didn't say a word, took Xu Jiang's crystal bag, and finally patted the mecha as if to say goodbye, stood up, and left the black market slowly.

After the deal was concluded, people around him sneered from time to time, thinking that Xu Jiang was a fool and spent 100 exotic crystals to buy a piece of junk.

Fortunately, Ying Xiaoxiao and the others believed in Xu Jiang.

To explain in Xiao Zhen's words: "You are a living person, not a fool, so you won't do stupid things."

Although the angle is a bit strange, even children understand the issue, so you don't need to get too entangled, just wait for the good news about Xu Jiang.

Satisfied, Xu Jiang handed the remaining 20 heterocrystals to Ying Xiaoxiao.

"Just keep these for Group 17 as activity funds."

"Okay, but do you have all the materials you need?"

"No, there is one more thing needed, but that thing is more expensive, and these are not enough. What's more, there is an old man who is not fastidious and has always wanted to take me as his disciple. It is really unreasonable not to let him spend more."
