Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 144 Profits

Mary wasn't one to easily lose her composure, but this time, she couldn't contain herself.

This was related to their Optic Mech fight against Heaven's Mecha. She was purposely assigned to this heavy-duty, so she couldn't afford any mistakes.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian gently patted her shoulder to calm her nerves. It seemed that her previous outright personality was currently being overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility.

And he could somewhat understand her emotion, given that he was once in a similar position in the past.

"When I handed the job over to you, I already expected that our current stocks might not be enough for all these people. Hence, I went back and crafted some items using the techniques that Master Isaac had taught me. So you don't have to worry much." Shi Tian whispered, letting her know the information.

Although still skeptical, Mary could only sigh and allow him to do whatever he wanted. He had already made a public announcement and had appeased the crowd's anger.

If she decided to go out and tell them that it was a mistake, then their subsided anger might resurface, and at a greater rage too.

No one would be pleased if they were given false hope, only to have their hope shattered ruthlessly in front of them.

Since they were told about the Privilege Ticket, then they must get it.

"We'll have a talk more thoroughly once you're done." Mary hissed and warned Shi Tian. She might not be able to stop this action, but that doesn't mean she was pleased with how the situation played out.

Shi Tian nodded his head in response. He knew this action of his had overstepped his boundary and nearly crossed her borderline limit of toleration.

Returning his attention to the crowd, Shi Tian unveiled the Privilege Ticket and began selling them to those who hadn't purchased the Claymore Mine earlier.

"Haha, Sir Gavin is indeed a businessman. I'm already this happy even though I haven't received the product yet."

"Indeed, I'm even gloating this hard right now, especially that greedy bastard that bought 10 Claymore Mines in total."

"Just look at his current expression. He seemed like he had swallowed a mouthful of flies and with a constipated expression. I'm so fucking happy now."

When the crowd held the Privilege Ticket, which was actually a type of metal crafted meticulously, they were all gloating and laughing wildly.

They weren't dumb to not know what these Privilege Ticket meant, especially when it was specifically sold to those who didn't manage to buy a Claymore Mine. In fact, even those who were just idling earlier and didn't plan on purchasing one went to line up to buy the Privilege Ticket.

As Shi Tian happily accepted each payment, he was even more joyful about getting more customers.

'Once they have eaten this jar of honey, it would be more than easy for Optic Mech to surpass Heaven's Mecha.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly. The profits they earned now, were even more than the profits they earned from selling the Claymore Mines.

After all, the Privilege Ticket didn't require much time to craft. It was also because it couldn't be replicated by others that didn't know Master Isaac's technique that could guarantee such a beautiful result.

Since the Privilege Ticket cannot be replicated unless they know Master Isaac's secret, then it could be said that the Privilege Ticket was their exclusive item and no one else can attempt to scam or swindle them with a fake.

Time slowly passed by, and Shi Tian officially closed the stall down.

The lines of customers were so long that it had become nighttime by the time Shi Tian finished selling the Privilege Ticket.

Heading back inside the tent with a bunch of Eons, Shi Tian's smile soon faded when he saw Mary quietly sitting in a chair with her legs crossed. Her fingers repeatedly tapped on the table.

Placing the Eons on the table, Shi Tian recounted the money they had earned.

"In total, there were about at least 100 customers that had bought the Privilege Ticket, and since it's a one-time use item for any of the features that I mentioned, some have bought multiples of it. After calculation, we earned about 100 thousand Eons." Shi Tian reported.

"You know that's not the thing I wanted to hear, right?" Mary calmly responded.

"Are you talking about how I address you as my assistant, or the introduction of the Privilege Ticket without informing you beforehand?"

"I'm not that petty to be mad about being addressed as an assistant. It was clear that you are just trying to gather all the attention and to have Heaven's Mecha start focusing more on you." Mary shook her head and stood up, exuding a cold aura.

"What I'm mad about is your decision to introduce the Privilege Ticket without even discussing with me whether or not it was okay. Do you even know the consequences of such action?" She asked intimidatingly.

Shi Tian remained silent for a few moments before nodding his head.

And to her shock, Shi Tian admitted his mistake without even defending himself.

"I was wrong, Mary." He calmly said without much emotion.

The response wasn't something Mary calculated in her mind. She expected him to at least defend himself with a bunch of reasoning.

However, years of experience don't mean she would become utterly helpless in unexpected situations.

Crossing her arms, Mary remained her intimidation and glared, "Did you think I would just forgive you because you admitted your mistake?"

And she continued, "Or did you think you are safe because we wanted you as a decoy, and now that you have announced your affiliation to us?"

Shi Tian shook his head, not uttering a single word.

Mary clicked her tongue when she saw him suddenly acting so timid and docile.

Clenching her fist, Mary was frustrated because she really couldn't punish him with death or anything. The situation had already been set in stone, and there was no going back.

Though she still wanted to teach him a harsh lesson for rashly acting as if he was the boss.

With a cold tone, she ordered, "For the punishment of your actions, you must now craft all the Claymore Mines and other future new products. And that is on top of having to focus on your training that we will start tomorrow."
