Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 141 A Brave Folly

Being suddenly given the job to price their product, Mary was at first shocked before showcasing her receptionist skills.

The price that she originally had in mind for the Claymore Mines was no longer applicable. With how effective Shi Tian’s unorthodox marketing skills, their products are now in high demand.

‘At the cost of one dumb person’s life, Nathan was able to capitalize on our trap so high. I have severely underestimated him this time.’ Mary thought to herself, finding Shi Tian in a new light.

She was even more impressed that he was able to use the fake alias they came up with and proudly introduced himself as an affiliation of Optic Mech.

Not only did this save them time and effort to make his decoy come to light, but he was able to gather all the attention onto himself with just this ploy alone.

‘I bet Heaven’s Mecha is already paying full attention to Nathan and his information. We didn’t even start to create some fake scene for Nathan to reveal himself and we already achieved a great result.’ Mary exclaimed inwardly, her eyes subtly glancing at the people from Heaven’s Mecha.

Secretly sending a signal to Gerald so that he could get a heads-up, Mary soon focused back her attention on the crowd.

The crowd was getting more frantic by the minutes, clearly excited to get their hands on these new modified Claymore Mines.

‘The original price that we thought of should be altered.’ Mary thought to herself.

The price they had originally decided was supposedly a bait to get customers to buy their traps and test them.

However, thanks to Shi Tian’s crazy and unorthodox method, Mary no longer worried about whether they would have customers or not.

Thus, she needed to decide on a suitable price for such a hot item.

“Everyone, I know you are all eager to have a Claymore Mine, but as you all know the blast power and its stealthiness are on a superior level than any other traps you have seen. Thus, the price for one of them is 1000 Eons.” Mary clasped her hands and announced loudly.

A low-tier Source Crystal could usually be exchanged for 100 Eons, which means the price tag of the trap was equivalent to 10 low-tier Source Crystal.

If this price was announced before the scene they had witnessed, then everyone here would have been furious and believed Mary was extorting them.

But now that they had witnessed the downgraded version blast power, especially its stealth to remain undetected, how could these people still believe the price was exorbitant.

In fact, they believed such high pricing was correct and a bargain for them.

Though naturally, some people still hoped that Mary would lower the price because people tend to love their money and wished to save as much as they could.

“Umm, this pricing is a bit too high. I believe we can lower it by at least 200 Eons.” One brave person decided to step forward and bargained.

The rest of the crowd remained silent, clearly waiting for the response from Mary.

With all eyes on Mary, she flashed a pondering look before smiling at the brave person.

“Since you believe the price to be too high, then I suppose you can save your pocket money and give the chance to other people to buy. From now on, you are hereby banned from purchasing any new products that our Optic Mech has to offer. And I want to specify this to everyone. The Claymore Mine is merely the start of what our Optic Mech has to offer.” She then said, astonishing to everyone in the present.

Not a single person expected that Mary, who seemed to look like a fragile woman on the surface, could actually be so decisive and ruthless.

Without even batting an eyelid, she had outright banned the brave person from ever purchasing the product from their Optic Mech.

Meanwhile, the brave person’s face instantly turned ashen white as panic quickly filled his face.

“I-I didn’t mean to offend you with my words, young lady. Please forgive my offense.” The brave person swiftly became timid and pleaded for mercy.

He also wanted to have a hand in the Claymore Mine, so how could he not worry? Especially when Mary revealed that Optic Mech would have more new products for sale.

And being barred from ever having the chance to purchase these new products was equivalent to saying he gave up in this competitive market to gain a fortune.

After all, if the new products were as impressive as the Claymore Mine trap, then everyone else would be able to increase their strength whereas he would remain stagnant, forever behind others.

“Sorry, but I never take back what I’ve said. So, can you please leave the vicinity to not block the other qualified people from purchasing these Claymore Mines?” Mary asked kindly, but her gaze was intimidating.

It was clear that if the person still refused to comply with the request, then Mary would resort to a more violent method.

The brave person was frantic, turning left and right, hoping that other people would step up and defend him.

However, when he realized that practically everyone that he tried to glance at avoided his eyesight, he knew he had been sacrificed.

Everyone wanted to purchase these for cheaper, but when they saw how decisive Mary was, none of them were willing to join him in being banned indefinitely.

The brave person could only glare angrily at each one of them and point at them. With a ‘hmph’ sound, the brave person quickly left the scene, clearly knowing now was not the right time to earn forgiveness from Mary.

And this was as the saying goes, whoever advanced first, dies first.

Who told him to be brave enough and advanced forward first?

‘Blame yourself and only yourself for being a fool. Had I hesitated even a moment about your bargaining, then the pricing that we set in the future would always be questioned by people.’ Mary sneered inwardly, not an ounce of pity for this dumb person.𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂
