The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3963

Chapter 3963 Isolated Lives

A few days went by as Ves tried his best to set his various ideas aside in order to enjoy the remainder of his holidays.

It became a lot easier for him to calm his restless heart now that he had resolved a portion of his inner confusion.

He knew that he would be no good to the clan if he kept worrying about so many different matters during his vacation.

Ves had a lot of work ahead of himself after he concluded this break. Aside from attending a lot of meetings in order to discuss how to spend the recent windfall, he also had to prepare for the next design round.

He had a lot of commercial mech designs in mind. Each of them had the potential to earn more revenue than all of his previous commercial works.

Even though the phasewater and MTA merits he obtained represented far more wealth than he could earn in years worth of sales, he never despised the potential of earning money by selling mechs.

This was his core specialty and the reason for his existence. The reasons why he went on expeditions was to obtain more inspiration and to gather unique resources such as fish-whale organs.

The ultimate purpose of doing so was to enhance his mech design capabilities and bring him closer to realizing his design philosophy!

After spending a long time on many other priorities, Ves felt more and more hungry to get back to his roots. It was never a good idea for him to stay away from mech design for too long.

As Ves reached the final day of his vacation, he felt more relaxed and ready to face his many responsibilities in the future.

He felt a lot more refreshed in mind and spirit than before. Not only did he partially reset his mentality, he also found a lot more joy in spending time with his family.

"Papa! Mama! Look! Look! So many toys!"

Aurelia toddled over a display of fluffy teddy bears. Each of them turned their heads in sync and raised their puffy arms in greeting at her arrival.

"You don't need these toys." Gloriana said as she came close and picked her daughter up. "I can make much better ones for you at home."

"I want this one, mama!"

While Aurelia was whining at the toy shop, Ves had entered a nearby store that displayed a bunch of different mech figurines.

As someone who made a couple of them by hand, he possessed a great appreciation for these miniature models. Not all of them had been crafted completely by hand, but Ves could clearly see how exquisite their makers had been to design and piece them together.

A handful of them even stood far above the rest!

His inner Vulcan became excited as he stood in front of a transparent cage that contained a figurine of a powerful second-class heavy artillery mech.

The tiny machine conveyed a hint of the power and majesty of this model. Made out of high-quality materials that had been machined by a craftsman who clearly possessed a background in mech design, the tiny parts each gave Ves an impression of supreme firepower.

This was quite impressive. The artisan may have been unable to turn this figurine in a totem, but he or she conveyed so much love and passion in this miniature reproduction that it actually possessed a good degree of X-Factor!

Ves was just about to raise his comm in order to transfer the funds needed to purchase this impressive work of craftsmanship when his eyes finally gazed at the price tag.

"339 MTA credits? What the hell? I can buy 240 Monster Slayer mechs with that much money!"

Those were actual combat mechs that could fight as well as other second-class mechs in the arena or a planetary environment!

The excessive price tag for what was essentially a toy for rich people instantly turned him off. Though he really wanted to buy the little figurine and add it to his collection to admire and study someone else's unique craftsmanship, he could not justify spending twice as much money as Gloriana's infernal handbag.

He would be just as bad as his wife if he gave in to this impulse!

"Just because my clan is rich these days doesn't mean I can let myself go and spend money willy-nilly!"

Ves had to close his eyes and forcefully calm down his racing heart in order to suppress the stupid impulse to buy the lovely little mech figurine.

When he took the time to glance at the other figurines that caught his eye, his mood dropped even more when he saw how quickly he could drain his cash reserves if he spent money like a kid without restraint.

"39 MTA credits… 49 MTA credits… 79 MTA credits… 139 MTA credits… wait, this gold edition toy is actually priced at 999 MTA credits?!"

Ves felt sick to his stomach. Five of these expensive toys was enough to buy a large plot of land on Davute VII!

What a buyer could actually gain from the latter far surpassed the former!

He developed a whole new cognition on the sheer amount of wasteful toys that rich people were willing to spend their money on. They had way too much money than sense!

"Ordinary mechers and fleeters only earn a couple of hundred MTA or CFA credits a month. They can't even afford some of these toys!"

Of course, the mechers and fleeters gained access to a lot of benefits that were worth far more money. Their salaries weren't all that important as the MTA and CFA pretty much took care of much of their lives.

Ves found it difficult to accept that a shop like this had a place in Davute.

It made more sense after he thought about it more. The shopping mall he was in right now was hailed as the most luxurious and expensive destination for visitors in Davute.

There were products for sale in Trinity Mall that could easily boggle his mind!

In order to maintain its exclusivity and keep the paupers out, the mall conducted an income check for every visitor.

No one got in unless they had the money to spend on these kinds of products!
