Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384: Replica 2
"This! This... this!!"
"Is this really a replica?" Lou turned his head, looked at Ji You with a touch of disbelief on his face, and said, "I think this isn’t a replica at all, this is the Little Golden Dragon, right?"
Speaking of this, Lou suddenly paused, as if he realized something. His azure eyes showed a hint of sympathy as he said, "The fact is your Little Golden Dragon has changed its heart and become someone else’s dragon."
Ji You: "..."
Lou chuckled, deliberately comforting, "Buddy, let it go a bit. The old won’t go, the new won’t come. It’s just a mech; mechs are like clothes, change when you should."
Ji You’s fingers twitched, and she glanced at Lou, then turned her head to continue staring at the golden dragon continuously wagging its tail in the square sky.
A few seconds later, Ji You shook her head and said, "No! This is not my Little Golden Dragon."
Lou rarely leaned over, raised his hand, patted Ji You’s shoulder, and said, "Let it go a bit, since it already chose someone else, let’s just wish it well."
Ji You slapped away Lou’s hand, coldly said, "The things you just said, I recorded it, I will play it for the Little Golden Dragon when it comes over."
Lou: "..."
Lou quickly drew back his hand, said, "Please don’t do that. That Little Golden Dragon is so vengeful, if you play it for him, he might never talk to me again."
Shoot your mouth off a few times, and the loss outweighs the gain.
While Lou was speaking, the golden dragon in the sky flew around in the air for a while, then suddenly swung its tail, its form rapidly shrinking again.
Then.
The girl named Nana spread her arms open, the golden dragon transformed to palm size, and snuggled back into her embrace. Nana raised a hand, rubbing its head, and it comfortably squinted its eyes, "Nana, rub my horns a bit, they’re itchy."
Upon hearing this, Nana quickly went to rub the little dragon’s two horns.
Beside the girl Nana, there was another female student, watching Nana’s interaction with the dragon, feeling a bit envious, and couldn’t resist making a request, "Can I touch it too?"
Nana thought about it and nodded, "Only for a moment."
The girl eagerly reached out—
"Little Golden Dragon" opened its eyes, looked at the other party, and very cooperatively stretched out its head.
...
Seeing this scene, everyone around was filled with envy.
"My god."
"Is this really a mech?"
"Are you sure it’s not a pup?"
"Such enjoyment!"
"Are you sure you bought a mech, and not a deity to serve?"
"If there are more deities like this, give me as many as you have!"
...
Ji You and Lou also saw this scene, Ji You raised a hand, touching her chin, Lou looking at the ’Little Golden Dragon’ in the girl’s arms for a while before saying, "I’m also sure it’s not a Heavenly Dog, if it really was a Heavenly Dog, it wouldn’t let you touch it like this."
The real Little Golden Dragon doesn’t enjoy being scratched. When in a good mood, it would let Ji You rub its head, but if it’s in a bad mood, it would just whip its tail.
As for others?
Whether it’s Chu Jiaojiao, Sheng Qingyan, Shen Changqing, or Lou, none of them have ever successfully touched the dragon’s head. In Little Golden Dragon’s own words, it’s—
"How dare you mere mortals touch me?"
Ahem ahem...
Lou put on a stern face again and walked towards the center of the crowd.
A while later.
Lou came back, said to Ji You, "I found out, this type of mech is a new model just released by the Alliance Research Institute. It’s said that its materials use very special material, can flexibly transform, and it’s said that this unit in front of us has 4 forms that can be switched at will, and the mech is equipped with a chip that simulates biological mechas, with very high sensitivity and intelligence."
Upon hearing this, Ji You said, "It’s pretty much what I guessed, but I didn’t expect it to be manufactured by the Alliance Research Institute."
Lou’s eyes were still on the mech in the girl’s arms, said, "It’s said that the battle power of this type of mech is also good, but it has high requirements on spiritual power level, only those with Spiritual Power A-level or above can operate it. If you don’t meet the requirements, buying such a mech will only make it a pet."
A-level?
Students in the Combat Department, or future warriors, wanting to upgrade their spiritual level to A-level, can do so through continuous training and long-term consumption of natural food. However, there’s no specific time frame for reaching A-level.
It could be as short as three to five years, or as long as one to two hundred years; both are possible.
However, having a Soul Device as an aid would greatly shorten this time.
Ji You asked, "How much does this mech cost?"
Hearing this question, Lou couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled, "I just logged onto the Alliance Research Institute’s website and, um... I looked it up and I’m sure it’s a price I can’t afford."
Ji You asked, "How much?"
Lou said, "6 million credit points."
Ji You: "!!!"
Lou said, "Expensive, right?"
Ji You, wide-eyed, said, "That... cheap!"
"Ha?" Lou thought he misheard, said, "Are you sure you don’t have a fever? Cheap? Are you sure 6 million is still cheap? Still cheap?"
million credit points is no small sum.
Although Lou’s family is well-off, can be described as well-off, compared to Sheng Qingyan’s family, such as tycoons, it’s completely not worth mentioning.
million for a mech, Lou wanted to buy it but couldn’t come up with the money, he would have to borrow from family and friends after returning home.
Ji You looked at Lou’s exaggerated demeanor, and said, "Compared to my pompous mech which requires a contract to buy, a 6 million credit points imitation mech is already very affordable, very considerate."
million!
billion!
million is truly considerate.
Then.
Ji You’s eyes lit up, she asked Lou, "Do you think if I return the Little Golden Dragon to Teacher Mu and then buy a 6 million imitation version online, would that be okay?"
When Lou heard this, he rolled his eyes, said, "Are you sure you can return it?"
"Why not? If you can buy it, you can return it! The right to return goods is every user’s right within the Alliance, and cannot be forcibly deprived." Ji You kept a straight face, very solemnly and seriously said.
"Oh—" Lou listened and didn’t hold out much hope for it, he shrugged, said, "These words, you can tell Teacher Mu, if you can persuade her, then estimate you can return it a hundred times, and you won’t die."
That’s right.
Die.
Lou used the word ’die.’ Moreover, Lou also very mean-spiritedly encouraged Ji You, saying, "I suggest you try it, maybe you’ll succeed? Besides, you’re rough-skinned, a few beatings probably won’t kill you."
When Ji You heard this, she immediately lost her vigor... ahem, lost interest, said, "Forget it, anyway I’m used to that annoying Little Golden Dragon."
