Transmigrated Into the Violent Boss’ Little Mermaid

Chapter 88 Part 1

If it was kidnapping, there should be no expenditure apart from the money spent on the production materials for manufacturing mecha.

The main expenses were omitted by Wen Chengyao and the ones that were looted and found were difficult to price.

On top of that…Jun Qingyu considered before he asked, “Did you purchase or loot the production materials?”

Yaoyao coughed lightly, “This was bought.” They didn’t rob everything as interstellar pirates and usually chose to spend money when they were no match for the other party.

Yaoyao said helplessly, “So as to speak, the overall production cost of the mecha is not really high and I can’t determine a fixed price.”

Jun Qingyu calculated a rough estimate of the price on the market and transferred three times the amount to her, “Any excess payment shall be refunded and any deficiency shall be repaid.”

When it got listed for sale in the future, if he gave too much money, they could just refund it then.

“All right.” Yaoyao saw Jun Qingyu solve the matter so efficiently, thus she could only accept that sum of money. They could talk about other matters at a later date, some matters couldn’t be rushed.

While the thing added to the fruit and vegetable juice was very tempting, continuing to clutch at this issue might be counterproductive.

However, Yaoyao didn’t overthink. They couldn’t have an in-depth cooperation, but at least she could still depend on the experiments to get in touch.

Yaoyao smiled and looked at Shi Kaixin, “Sir, can you let them in?”

Shi Kaixin disregarded her and waited for Jun Qingyu’s signal.

Jun Qingyu said lightly, “Let them in.”

Only with Jun Qingyu’s approval did Shi Kaixin turn around and gave way.

The mecha had a specialised forklift for placing it and was sent in by pushing the edge, which only took one person to complete the task. The helpers to the side stayed in front of the door and didn’t come in.

The person who sent the mecha in also left silently after pushing it in.

“The height of the mecha can be adjusted. If it were any larger, we wouldn’t be able to wheel it in. You can adjust it freely when you push it out of the room.”

Yaoyao picked up the operation manual on the side of the mecha and handed it to Jun Qingyu, “You are also aware of my physical condition, my knowledge of mechas is just superficial, and I can’t give you any substantive teaching. But apart from not requiring any mental energy for this mecha, it’s no different from an ordinary mecha.”

Yaoyao knew that the person she found to teach would be suspected, therefore she didn’t mention that to avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstanding. She only said, “You can let this gentleman teach you.”

Jun Qingyu merely glanced at the mecha, then retracted his gaze. He was not very interested in it. It could only be said to be useful so he wished to learn. He curled his fingers and tapped on the tabletop, “First, release your mental energy.”

Yaoyao smiled, “Ok.”

Shi Kaixin stood at the rear and could only faintly sense Yaoyao’s mental energy, but it was still tolerable. Probably because he was present when Fu Yuanchuan’s mental energy was going berserk, Yaoyao’s mental energy was not as aggressive in comparison.

Yet, Jun Qingyu was unresponsive to mental energy. Shi Kaixin mulled over this and remained silent.

After recording the data, this batch of fruit and vegetable juice was still for Yaoyao.

Yaoyao wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a sip, “Today’s effect seems to be better than yesterday’s.”

Jun Qingyu lowered his head and recorded, “The dosage is different.”

Yaoyao had nothing to make small talk with him and it was not surprising to get this response, and she smiled warmly.

Shi Kaixin felt uncomfortable when he saw that smile and simply averted his gaze to the side.

After finishing the last one, Yaoyao got up to leave, “Feel free to contact me if there is any problem with the mecha, after-sales service is included.”

Jun Qingyu said, “I see.”

Shi Kaixin shut the door and sighed, “I feel that Yaoyao is strange in every way.”

Jun Qingyu seemed indifferent to anything that had nothing to do with Fu Yuanchuan, “What’s so strange about her?”

The effect of adding a small amount of spring water to the fruit and vegetable juice was very good, and it became all the more obvious with the increase in efficacy from yesterday.

Yaoyao wanted to talk about the transaction of spring water–Jun Qingyu understood, just that he didn’t comment on it.

Shi Kaixin looked at the mecha and said, “Sir, I’ll send this mecha back for testing.”

Jun Qingyu didn’t think Yaoyao would tamper with the machine, this kind of thing only resulted in the death of the pilot.

Yaoyao relied on his fruits and vegetables to survive, and the Interstellar Pirates wouldn’t dare to attack him until they obtained fruits and vegetables that could be grown with his own hands.

But to be on the safe side, Jun Qingyu still gave his consent, then he ordered him specifically, “Don’t tell Yuanchuan about the mecha for the time being.”

“Yes.”

—

The pace of the mecha inspection was extremely slow. By the time the mecha was sent to the villa after the inspection was complete, it was already half a month later.

Jun Qingyu wanted to see what it looked like fully deployed; therefore, he did not have it sent into the house but placed in the garden.

Shi Kaixin was also partly considered to be from an Imperial Military family. He had been exposed to mechas ever since he was a child, and when he grew up, he entered the Imperial Military academy. Not to mention how skillful his manipulation of mecha was, his level of achievement was definitely there.

Jun Qingyu put his hand on the mecha, released his spiritual energy to inspect the machine, and it gradually covered the entire mecha. He asked absent-mindedly, “Any news of the matter I asked you to investigate before?”

Shi Kaixin nodded and said, “It seems to be related to the Federation. The mecha master over there has studied this kind of mecha, but then the mecha master disappeared and the handbook disappeared; no one ever studied this kind of mecha again.”

Considering that people with low mental energy had low combat ability, even if they really drive this kind of mecha on the battlefield, they might not be as strong as people with high mental energy.

Therefore, rather than studying this kind of mecha, it was much better to focus on mental energy. The gain was not proportional to the effort made and naturally, no one would do it.

“When did it disappear?”

“More than 20 years ago.” Shi Kaixin stated, “Lately, the situation between the Empire and the Federation is tense, coupled with the fact that the Federation didn’t pay much attention to this matter at that time, so very little information is known.”

Jun Qingyu raised his eyebrows. No wonder the mecha was delivered so quickly. In terms of new research and development, those that have not yet been released to the market should have been used by the Interstellar Pirates a long time ago.

Essentially, interstellar pirates did not have to go through layers of screening like joining the corps. Many people with low mental energy could also find a place in the Interstellar Pirates.

In order to avoid low combat effectiveness, such a mecha was made.

Shi Kaixin said in bewilderment, “How did Yaoyao find out that sir’s mental strength is low?”

When Yaoyao asked whether he knew, Shi Kaixin found it strange. He subconsciously thought that Jun Qingyu would surely know how to drive a mecha, so this question was very strange.

As a matter of fact, Shi Kaixin was not aware that Jun Qingyu’s mental energy was low. On the account that interstellar people highly regarded mental energy, this meant the higher one’s mental energy, the stronger one’s strength.

Shi Kaixin assumed Jun Qingyu’s mental energy was definitely not low based on his incisive movements. He was surprised to hear Jun Qingyu state that his mental energy was low, causing him to be somewhat sceptical.

What was even strange was that Yaoyao could also lead the conversation to the mecha. If the handbook had been discovered only a few days ago, it could have been related to this case, but it clearly was not.

Jun Qingyu didn’t find it strange, because he had fought Wen Chengyao once before.

Wen Chengyao should not have hidden anything from Yaoyao, thus she should have known about his low mental energy a long time ago.

On the day of the experiment, Yaoyao discovered a change in the concentration of the universal life energy in the fruit and vegetable juice. For this reason, she wanted to use a reliable bargaining chip to exchange for spring water with him.

At that time, he was busy doing experiments and wanted to go to the battlefield. Yaoyao had an inclination to curry flavour with him. The topic of mecha was naturally brought up by Yaoyao, who wanted to please him, to talk about a partnership. In spite of that, Jun Qingyu refused since spring water was much more important than the mecha, and the conversation eventually turned into a sales transaction.
