Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 231 Original Capital (Update )
A moment later, Senior Myrtle drove a multi-purpose maintenance vehicle, carrying Su Ming and Lin Chuyu towards the hangar.

"Senior, my third-generation machine may not be easy to repair."

Su Ming reminded with some concern.

"Don't worry, my skills are among the best in the Imperial Academy. I can easily control any third-generation mecha."

"Oh, by the way, how long does it take you to repair a third-generation mecha?"

"Ten days! It can be fixed in ten days."

Senior Myrtle patted his chest and assured.

"That's great."

Su Ming nodded and replied.

Not long after, Su Ming brought Lin Chuyu and senior student Myrtle to his hangar. As the gate rose, the tattered mecha suddenly came into view of the three.

"this?"

Lin Chuyu immediately showed a very surprised expression. Although she had more or less guessed that Su Ming bought a second-hand mecha, she never expected it to be so shabby?
Myrtle looked at the mecha in front of her, and her originally relaxed and confident expression suddenly became a little stiff.

Su Ming said to Myrtle very politely.

"Please take a look, Senior."

"it is good!"

Myrtle responded solemnly, and then he began to carefully inspect the exterior of the mecha.

Su Ming and Lin Chuyu stood quietly by and watched.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, five hours had passed and it was late at night.

Senior Myrtle not only used the computer to read the status of the mecha, but also disassembled some of the mecha's inspection ports to confirm the condition of the internal parts. It can be said that he was very professional.

When everything was checked, Senior Myrtle restored the mecha, and finally walked in front of Su Ming and said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

"The inspection is over."

"Can it be fixed?"

Su Ming stared at Senior Myrtle. If he couldn't repair it, then it would be really troublesome.

"You're lucky. In the entire academy, not counting the teachers in the maintenance department, there are no more than three people who can repair this mecha. I'm one of them. But if it can't be repaired in ten days, it will take at least three months at the earliest."

When Senior Myrtle finished speaking, her face was burning with anger. It was true that one should not speak too confidently.

"Three months is fine, so how much will the repair cost?"

"1.2 billion federal coins!"

Senior Myrtle quoted the price very seriously.

"Why is it so expensive?"

Lin Chuyu was immediately shocked by the price. You know, the asking price for a brand new third-generation Green Wing Mecha is only 8 million.

Su Ming was not surprised by Senior Moter's offer, after all, Teacher Jiang Yu had given him a heads-up. But when he really heard the exact offer, he felt a lot of pressure, because it was not a small amount of money.

Senior Myrtle explained patiently.

"This mecha is not an ordinary standard mecha. It is extremely expensive. Although the main core components of this mecha are not damaged, many parts are broken, especially the wiring. In addition, this mecha has been abandoned for too long, and many parts have problems. Therefore, the price I offer is already very low. After all, we are from the same society, and it is impossible for me to cheat you."

"Senior Myrtle, I actually looked for a price, and I know the price you quoted is very reasonable. But it's still too expensive for me. Can you make it cheaper?"

Su Ming bargained with a frown on his face.

When Mertel heard that Su Ming had already asked for a price, he felt a little embarrassed. His expression changed for a while, and he finally spoke.

"Junior Su Ming, you just joined the club, and it would be unreasonable for me as a senior to not take care of you. Also, I boasted that I could get it done in ten days, which was indeed a bit boastful. How about this, 10 billion federal coins, the price cannot be reduced by a cent."

"Okay, thank you, senior. But I think it will take me some time to raise the money."

Su Ming also replied politely to Senior Myrtle.

"No problem. I'll check it for you for free today. It's up to you whether to repair it or not and when to repair it."

Senior Myrtle also knew that this was not a small amount of money.

"Okay!" "Then I'll leave first. If you have anything else to do, you can send me a private message in the group."

"Take care, senior."

Su Ming said goodbye to Myrtle politely.

After Senior Myrtle left, Su Ming turned his head to look at the tattered mecha in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Su Ming's serious expression, Lin Chuyu spoke to comfort him.

"Su Ming, don't be too anxious. Take your time to think about the money. It's not something that can be obtained overnight."

"Ah."

Su Ming replied calmly.

At this moment, Lin Chuyu's cell phone vibrated and a text message popped up.

She glanced down and saw that the introduction fee had arrived, so she transferred it directly to Su Ming and then spoke.

"Su Ming, the 100 million federal currency introduction fee has arrived. I've transferred it to you."

Su Ming looked at Lin Chuyu transferring the money, and then said to Lin Chuyu.

"Chu Yu, I won't return the ten thousand I lent you. We'll split the introduction fee in half."

"No, keep the money. You need it now."

"Isn't this not good?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Friends should help each other. If you really feel bad about it, just return the 1 to me."

Lin Chuyu knew Su Ming's personality very well, and then said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Su Ming didn't say much and directly transferred the ten thousand.

"Su Ming, it's late. Go back and rest early. Don't be too stressed."

"Okay, let's go together!"

"Ok!"

Lin Chuyu responded with a smile.
-
Three days later, in the library.

Su Ming closed the book in his hand, his expression very solemn.

These days, after class, he comes to the library to brush up on his economic knowledge, and browses various information on the Internet.

Finally he came to a very definite conclusion.

It is easy to make a little money in this era, but there is almost no hope of making a lot of money, as the various classes in the federation have become solidified.

All ways to make money are basically controlled by capital from all classes.

If you want a piece of the pie, you need to compete, and competition requires original capital.

It is precisely this original capital that is the most difficult to accumulate. If an ordinary person wants to cross classes and make a lot of money, it requires accumulation over several generations.

Of course, not all roads are blocked, there is still a way to go, that is to open up to the outside world, but it also requires a certain amount of capital.

When Su Ming thought of this, his head started to hurt. It really was like the saying goes, a penny can make a hero fall.

It would be difficult for him to accumulate this initial capital in a short period of time.

"Oh! It looks like I really have no choice but to go home."

Su Ming sighed slightly. He had originally thought of applying for a bank loan, but after much consideration, he decided it would be safer to ask his family for help.

So he picked up the book, walked towards the bookshelf, put it back where it was, and turned to leave the library.

night.

A hover taxi stopped at the door of the Su family villa.
