15. Component
The corridor was quiet, with only the echoing sound of high heels.
Inside the KID Base, Shen Xingtang had just finished a communication session with the Banute Pollution Control Bureau. She handed her luggage to Jiang Simiao, she had been busy with contaminated zone matters until today and finally had time to return to the base. "Where are those two?" she asked.
Jiang Simiao pointed to the training room not far away.
Shen Xingtang entered the training room and saw Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao huddled together, with a holographic display of a well-known trading website of the Union in front of them.
"What are you both looking at?" Shen Xingtang asked.
Ji Qingfeng didn't lift his head. "What else can we look at? Of course, it's materials and parts. We got two anomalous crystals this time. If they turn out to be S-grade anomalous crystals, I need to prepare materials for my wife's weapon upgrade, which will cost a fortune."
Lin Yao chimed in, "Da Feng, look at this, look at this."
Shen Xingtang approached and saw the prominently displayed price on the homepage. "180,000 each?"
Ji Qingfeng said, "If we buy three, it's a 30% discount. Damn, it's so tempting."
Suddenly, he realized something and turned to look at Shen Xingtang. Immediately, his expression changed, and he said, "Ah, Boss, you're back!"
Shen Xingtang had indeed returned, and behind her was a trolley full of components. She pointed expressionlessly at the trolley beside her. "The ones for 180,000 are gone. You can get them for 20,000 each instead."
The two men's faces immediately turned sour upon hearing this.
Shen Xingtang continued, "Don't even think about the anomalous crystals. Both of them only turned out to be A-Class Variants after testing, not reaching S-grade."
"What? Only A-Class after consuming the anomalous crystals!?" Ji Qingfeng couldn't understand. "Boss, are the testing facilities you used reliable?"
Shen Xingtang was also surprised. The two anomalous crystals had been tested, and they were confirmed to be Regeneration and Devour Variants, both at the A-Class level. Regeneration mutation was not uncommon in plant-based pollutants, but Devour, which had previously only been found in S-grade pollutants, was now showing up as A-Class. It was hard to fathom.
"They're reliable. Let's talk about upgrading our weapons later," Shen Xingtang directly got to the point. "Did you cut off the power supply to the mecha the mechanic was operating during the interview the other day?"
Ji Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, I did. Have you contacted them for the interview? I must say that the mechanic is quite impressive. Yao *bǎo, and they did a lot of research just to come to us."
*宝(bǎo) - baby/precious/treasure/basically a term of endearment. Baby Yao, how cute
"I've already notified them to come over," Shen Xingtang said. "I need to go to the maintenance room. Ji Qingfeng, come with me."
