The Mech Touch

While nothing so dramatic happened, many mech pilots actually took a lot of liking of the Aurora Titan despite its steep learning curve. Even those who didnʼt specialize in space knights or spaceborn mechs couldnʼt help but fall in love with piloting the virtual version of the mech!

”Itʼs no wonder the virtual version of the Aurora Titan immediately hit the 250,000 DP limit!”

The System didnʼt consider virtual mechs to be worthy of much attention. Setting an upper limit of 250,000 DP on earnings from virtual sales was obviously meant to discourage him from becoming a full-time virtual mech designer.

If not for this limit, Ves would probably be able to earn a million DP with ease!

Nonetheless, Ves still gnashed his teeth at the thought of missing out on all of that surplus DP!

In any case, his DP reserves were so ample that he changed his original plan. He originally wanted to spend some DP to purchase a one-time standalone stealth augment.

However, considering that this probably wouldnʼt be the last time for him to steal an important historical relic, Ves thought about pairing Lucky with a permanent stealth upgrade.

Amazingly enough, Ves found something perfect for the occasion.

[Miniaturized Stealth Generator - Level 1]

Price: 400,000 DP

Duration: 5 Minutes

Emit a small overpowering field that disrupts any means of observation within a 1 meter sphere. It is capable of obfuscating every possible means of observation that is known to the Mech Designer System.

”400,000 DP!”

The enormous price tag made him wince. Ves considered whether he would be better off placing his System comm around Luckyʼs neck and make use of its Full Stealth Augment instead. Ves wouldnʼt be forced to spend any extra DP in that case.

”Itʼs too risky!”

If anything went wrong, Ves might lose the System! Even though he recently Inventorized it, he might not be able to dematerialize it if it fell into the hands of the Ylvainans.

In order to guard against any accidents, it was safer for Ves to invest in Miniaturized Stealth Generator and provide Lucky with an independent means of entering stealth.

”Now that I think about it, this price doesnʼt sound so unreasonable.”

Although its duration was very short before it required a lengthy recharge, its capabilities definitely surpassed Luckyʼs excellent ECM systems!

As long as Ves paired his cat with this little gadget, they could use it over and over again. At some point, heʼd be able to earn back what he spent!

”Itʼs an investment for the future.” Ves muttered as he pulled the trigger and bought the Miniaturized Stealth Generator.

As soon as he confirmed his purchase, an object that resembled a comm materialized in front of him. Ves took the slim object and clasped it around Luckyʼs neck like a collar.

”Do you like your new collar?”

”Meow!”
