Chapter 18

Online store

For Ying Chenlin, polishing parts is a natural task. When repairing mecha, it's necessary to model and analyze the damaged areas for reconnection. Upon identifying a faulty area, Ying Chenlin would inspect and polish the corresponding part.

During his recovery period, he tried to minimize the use of his psychic power each day. Spending three days in the maintenance room, he left the well-organized parts for Shen Xingtang.

Considering his hand and still in the recovery phase, Ying Chenlin scheduled an appointment with Dr. Wu's friend to undergo a detailed examination in the medical station next week.

Unable to venture into the pollution zone yet and with limited places to go, he found himself in the maintenance room after completing his temporary tasks, waiting for Shen Xingtang to return.

Shen Xingtang wasn't present, and Ying Chenlin had finished his impromptu work. He thought of going to the training room to gather some mech data.

KID's underground base wasn't large. He hadn't walked far from the maintenance room when he arrived at the meeting room, which was adjacent to the training room. Upon entering the meeting room, he noticed Shen Xingtang standing near the virtual warehouse.

Greeting her, Ying Chenlin said, "Boss."

Shen Xingtang, who had just arrived, held a smart tablet in her hand and responded, "Chenlin, you're just in time. I'm going online later to redecorate the online store. Would you like to join and take a look? We have a virtual warehouse here for training."

"Open a store?" Ying Chenlin was curious.

"Of course, these parts are ultimately modified from old parts. If we send them to an auction, they'll just pay us according to the market price and deduct our handling fees. Initially, we might get a high bid, but it loses interest later on."

Shen Xingtang raised an eyebrow, "We don't have many parts, and it's inconvenient to run auctions. The StarNet online store is doing well. It has an automatic mode, auction mode, and a broad market on StarNet."

StarNet features a holographic virtual mode, creating a virtual world close to reality. One section includes the StarNet Virtual Shopping Street, and Shen Xingtang's virtual store is located in a small shop in the mech market. She had been busy these days handling the necessary documentation for opening the store.

Ying Chenlin borrowed the virtual warehouse in the base and quickly entered the location of the virtual store. The place was an undeveloped room, empty with only some initial furniture in the store.

When he entered the virtual store, he saw two people inside.

Ji Qingfeng and Lin Yao used virtual avatars, but their voices couldn't deceive anyone. At this moment, the two, one tall and one short, stood in front of the counter, fiddling with the intelligent system that managed the store. Next to them was a virtual page titled "Virtual StarNet Opening Quick Guide," and they were working diligently.

Lin Yao watched Ji Qingfeng input unsuccessfully a few times and asked, "Have you ever run an online store?"

"I'm a mech pilot, not cut out to be a store manager." Ji Qingfeng focused on studying. "Rest assured, I'm good at surfing the web. Running a small online store is a piece of cake."

Shen Xingtang approached and noticed Ying Chenlin standing by the furniture in the distance. She waved, "Ying Chenlin, come over here and fill in the copyright information."

"Fill it in casually," Ying Chenlin said.

Shen Xingtang pushed him in front of the intelligent system. "Casual is not enough. These are parts you polished. Aside from the original manufacturer, you are the owner of the modified copyright."
