Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction-Chapter 147 - This Is The Place Where Slaves Are Made

Before it turned dark, Peter and Donna appeared in Maple Leaf Town. The two of them stayed in the largest hotel in the town. On the way to the top floor of the hotel, Peter asked the manager for details about the directions to the nameless underground fortifications.

After asking around, Peter led Donna to their room. Meanwhile, the waiter saw that Peter had spent points to pay for the room fee. Thus, the waiter took the initiative to lead them to their room.

At this time, they had reached the door of the room. The hotel attendant personally used the room card to open the door for Peter and handed the room card to him. Then, Peter handed him a 100 points as a tip. This was a form of hard currency in the current northern area.

The hotel attendant said gratefully, “Sir, if you want to go out in the afternoon, you have to bring your weapons. Furthermore, you have to come back before dark. Otherwise, it will be dangerous.”

Peter nodded to show his thanks.

After tidying up their room, the two of them went to the restaurant in the hotel and ate something. Then, they went straight to a secondhand store.

Along the way, they saw a few pedestrians scattered on the roads. They were either businessmen with bodyguards or ferocious outlaws. Some people also looked at Peter and Donna with ill intentions.

The secondhand store was located at the edge of the town. It was a very large building. When Peter and Donna walked in, a middle-aged man in his forties walked up to them.

“Are the two of you here to buy smart cars? Recently, a new batch of very good quality maglev smart cars arrived in our shop. They’re 90% new. I’m the boss of this shop. As long as you look after the smart cars, the price can be negotiated.”

“Bring me there.”

Peter had now summarized some rules. In the northern area, the more polite you were to others, the easier it was for others to bully you. This was the law of the jungle, where the weak were prey to the strong. This was especially the case in the more remote areas.

The boss led him deeper into the store. There were more than ten maglev smart cars in the row of parking lots in front of him.

The boss personally opened the hood of a smart car for him. “Look, this is definitely 90% new. At the very least, it’s a smart car that is almost 90% new.”

Peter frowned. The quality of this smart car was indeed very new, but there were some fatal problems with several core components of the smart car.

These parts had been tampered with. If they were examined using a computer, the computer would not be able to detect anything. Furthermore, there was no problem during the test drive. However, if the smart car drove for 40 to 50 kilometers, it would completely break down.

After all, Peter was previously the first in the mecha course and was very familiar with smart machines. Thus, this inferior product would definitely not escape his eyes.

There were also many small devices, which were found in very inconspicuous places, on these smart cars. Peter knew that these were tracking devices. He finally understood how the boss’s murderous emotions came about.

It turned out that this was a fraudulent store that specifically sold smart cars with problems and tracking devices to consumers. Then, when consumers went to the nameless underground fortifications, the smart car would break down halfway. Meanwhile, his subordinates would kill people and steal their goods. Then, they would drag the smart car back and continue selling it. This was why the boss was excited and filled with killing intent.

At that time, the hotel attendant had strongly opposed Peter buying an old vehicle for this reason. However, the hotel waiter was also a local. Thus, he was embarrassed to say this openly and could not confront Peter in person.

However, what gave Peter a headache was that these parts were the core components of the smart car and could not be replaced. No matter how skilled he was in repairing machines, without tools, materials, and equipment, he could not solve this problem.

“How is it, Sir? This is good stuff…”

“I don’t like them. How about this, Boss? I’ll take a look around. I don’t fancy these five smart cars. It’s either because they’re not good, or I don’t like them.” 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Peter interrupted the owner’s introduction.

The owner of the secondhand store sneered inwardly. Peter’s behavior was normal. Judging by his figure, he should be a Genetic Warrior. Genetic Warriors were cautious, but as long as he bought a smart car from this place, he would face a dead end. The owner was simply plotting how to leave the girl beside Peter behind.

“Alright, this way please.”

The boss led the way and Peter followed him. Meanwhile Peter’s vigilant eyes kept observing his surroundings as he was afraid that Donna would encounter an accident.

Suddenly, Peter’s eyes lit up.

A six-wheeled smart vehicle appeared in front of him.

“Boss, this smart car is not bad. Introduce it to me.”

The boss smiled.

“Sir, you really have good taste. This is from an old brand, the Mercedes Group, which has 1,000 years of history. It is a cross-country smart car with six wheels, and is fully equipped. Also, the smart car is 3.6 meters long. There are cockpits at both the front and the back of the car. Furthermore, the rear cockpit can be raised to attack, or for observation purposes.”

“The engine is an UFG, which is an electromagnetic engine with 3,500 horsepower. The car has a maximum speed of 240 kilometers per hour.”

“The six huge cross-country wheels of this smart car can cross rugged roads. Furthermore, the direction of each wheel can be automatically adjusted according to the terrain. This smart car is 80% new. If you want it, it can be yours for 20,000 points.”

Peter nodded. This price was very fair, even in the New York Base City area. After all, this smart car was very retro and had thousands of years of history. However, because the design was too classic, its core components were constantly updated. Furthermore, the production of the car had never stopped.

“I want it.”

Peter took out his chip and paid for it. Then, he paid more money to buy a maintenance tool that followed the smart car. He pretended to check it.

“How’s the endurance of this smart car?”

“After being filled with energy once, you can travel 2,000 kilometers at a cruising speed of 200 kilometers per hour. The battery unit here is specifically used by mechas. Don’t worry, it is already filled with energy. It’s enough for you to run around Lake Hudson.”

“Alright, I’m satisfied.”

The boss smiled. He thought that he would meet this beauty again someday.

The elevator rose the smart car to the ground and Peter started the engine. Then, the smart car suddenly rushed out and ran around the entire town. Although the roads around the town were filled with uneven potholes, the smart car’s cross-country performance and shock reduction performance were very outstanding. Thus, it did not feel too uncomfortable driving at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.

“How is it? Can you withstand such a road bump?”

Peter asked Donna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, with concern.

“Please, I’m not a weak vase. I’m also a Genetic Warrior. However, this smart car is amazing. The maglev smart car isn’t as pleasant to ride as this.” 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

Donna was full of praise.

“There’s something wrong with this smart car. Furthermore, it’s not just this smart car. All the smart cars in the old store just now have something wrong with them.”
