The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4525

Ves was not accustomed to attracting so much interest from powerful pioneers.

His ego gained a significant boost as he verbally danced his way from one negotiation or another.

He had always known that his work was good enough to attract the attention and appreciation of a significant portion of the market.

However, much of the advantages conveyed by his mechs were difficult to translate into hard numbers.

There were many other products on the market that hit harder, withstood more damage or moved a little faster.

Creative and innovative mech designers tried to excel in ways that weren't so obvious and straightforward. Instead of joining the crowd, they stood apart from the mainstream by developing all kinds of gimmicks that gave their products a competitive edge. These features ranged from adding enhanced self-repair capabilities to their machines to making their mechs a lot harder to detect.

Ves happened to fit in this category of mech designers as well. His living mechs and his glows constantly attracted more and more customers who were willing to take the risk of pursuing an alternate direction of strength.

However, the commercial success of his living mechs had always been confined to the grassroots and the lesser organizations of human society.

These were the parties that were constantly trying to look for bargains and better ways to overcome their competition without spending a ludicrous amount of money.

While the LMC's products weren't cheap by any means, they still presented an amazing value proposition to those who recognized the advantages of living mechs.

It was too bad that the LMC still couldn't break into the largest circle of customers. These massive conglomerates and centuries-old organizations usually developed their own mechs or signed long-term contracts with larger and more established mech companies.

Developing exclusive relationships made sense because major clients gained the right to make additional demands to ensure they obtained the mechs they truly needed.

This was far more convenient than trawling through the enormous mech market in the hopes of finding a mech model that somewhat matched their requirements.

The LMC was still an upstart for the most part. It was hard for the LMC to attract clients as large as the Adelaide Mercenary Company or the Boojay Family.

That was slowly changing as bestsellers such as the Pacifier line, the War Squire line and the Hymenoptera line emerged. The law enforcement mech and industrial mech both proved that the right glows could produce immediate and highly productive benefits to their customers.

While the LMC managed to gain greater traction in these niches, the Larkinson mech company still fell short of attaining critical success in the most important market category, which was combat mechs.

A mech company that could not become the market leader in at least one subcategory of combat mechs was not qualified to attract the notice of major clients!

Without proof that Ves could design a mech that could become a potential champion among its competitors, he would always be faced with skepticism and lack of recognition.

The Battle of the Boryan Belt changed that pattern. The other five pioneering groups fighting alongside the Golden Skull Alliance had tried and failed to overcome the impenetrable defenses of the unclean whale that showed up at the final stage.

Ves had ultimately been the one to personally bail them all out, and he did so twice.

He first did so by launching a mysterious superweapon from his flagship. Though Ves could clearly sense everyone's burning curiosity and desire towards this 'trump card', he always deflected any cautious inquiries relating to this incident.

People quickly figured out that they had no hope of acquiring it for themselves and tactfully avoided the topic.

They had greater success with asking about the second move he made. His capacity of imparting a powerful 'blessing' on a machine as high-end as an ace mech in the middle of an ongoing engagement was just as amazing if not more!

It was this surprise that he was willing to put up for sale.

Ves revealed three crucial pieces of information as he made his indirect sales pitch to the attendees of this gathering.

First, he told them that his so-called blessed weapon method was a new and experimental design application that had only been tested on just two different prototype weapons before the latest battle.

Blessed weapons were so new that Ves could guarantee that no rival pioneers benefited from this powerful invention!

This meant that this was probably their only opportunity to place their orders for blessed weapons when it was still in the earliest stages of its product life cycle.

Second, Ves revealed that there were many limitations regarding the production and use of blessed weapons.

Many of them were practical such as the necessity of making mech weapons alive and convincing mech pilots to build up relationships with their new living equipment and the Phase King.

Ves also told his audience that supply would be constrained for a long time as he could only afford to make a limited amount of blessed weapons at this time.
