Chapter 2043: Short bid
“Two point three million.”
Everyone was simultaneously stunned.
“Are you crazy for money?”
The Su Clan’s heir directly retorted.
Mechanical war beasts were good; the technology, materials science, etc., contained within them were far beyond comparable equipment of the same level.
But this did not mean it could be so much more expensive than equipment of the same level.
Mechanical war beasts had many abilities, were powerful, and could enter the battlefield as excellent individual soldiers to fight. However, they were ultimately not real war beasts. A real war beast, if injured, could recover with care. But if this thing were damaged, it would require professionals to repair it, and the cost was not comparable to the mere medicine money for a real war beast’s injuries.
No matter how well Karnagu had spoken earlier, about Mountain Rage’s material being able to recover automatically, etc., everyone was not a fool. What could recover was only the main structure made from this material. What about other parts that broke? Like the transmission system, control system, etc., what then? Wouldn’t it still require finding someone and spending money to repair it?
Also, real war beasts needed feeding, and this mechanical war beast also required maintenance and upkeep—replacing parts, tuning the system, etc. Non-professionals could not do these tasks. It could be said that buying such a thing required keeping up with supporting facilities, which was another expense.
