Reboot: Mechanic

"Did you plan for all this to happen?" Mary stealthily walked behind Shi Tian and asked. 

"Of course. Did you really think I'm such a fool to let these bunch of idiots kill me?" Shi Tian whispered back. 

"But what if it failed, then you would have died."

"But I didn't fail. Plus, I still have you ready to come out to block it for me. Why should I be afraid?" 

"You trust me that much?" Mary asked in a surprised tone. 

"No risk, no gain. If I don't do at least that much, then how could I garner so much attention in such little time." Shi Tian chuckled softly and returned his attention to the crowd.

Now was not the time for small chattering between him and her, but the time to do a big sale. 

"Apologies for the delayed suspense, but I just wanted everyone to calm down a bit after the explosion. Now you might have wondered why the explosion was so small in radius, but rest assured, that was just a downgraded version of our new product. I wouldn't want everyone else to be hurt by the blast radius when you are all going to become our valuable customers." Shi Tian explained gently. 

Although it was an extremely shameless and hypocritical saying, the crowd didn't care. 

As the saying goes, once an interest outweighed something else, then these people would know what to ignore. 

"Haha, that's alright Sir Gavin. Take your time slowly to explain it to us."

"Yeah, there's no rush, and we can all wait, Sir Gavin."

"Haha, we all had nothing to do anyway, Sir Gavin. We are all patient people here."

The tone and demeanor of the crowd subsequently changed once they witnessed an out-of-the-ordinary product. What could be more important other than getting their hands on this new product for themselves? 

A trap that with so many people here had failed to detect was definitely something valuable. 

Not to mention, the trap being triggered was discreet- to the point that the attacker himself had failed to notice anything amiss and was still laying on the ground. 

Seeing how the crowd's behavior had easily changed in his favor, Shi Tian was amused and proud. 

As for the attacker, since that person dared to attack him, then he should have understood the consequences. 

"Our new product can be considered to be a Claymore mine. And before anyone else barks about it not being new, have you ever seen such a discreet Claymore mine?" Shi Tian unveiled the new product in front of the public and explained it enthusiastically. 

He was hyping up the new product and manipulating the crowd's emotions. 

"That was a Claymore mine??" 

"Impossible, how could none of us notice when a Claymore mine is placed upon us? This is truly unbelievable." 

"No wonder why it's called a new product. Optic Mech must have managed to alter the foundation and modified it." 

The crowd went into an uproar once it was revealed to them about the kind of trap that was used earlier. 

Everyone here could be considered an expert in the wilderness. 

So naturally, they also know many different kinds of traps to ensure their safety. Hence, a Claymore mine was not anything new to these people, but the current time proved otherwise.

They were completely ignorant of the existence of the Claymore mine being placed very near to them. 

What defines a great trap? 

It was when a trap remained absolutely hidden and discreet from the enemies, and upon activation, it would inflict a great amount of lethal damage to the enemies. 

That was the true definition of a great trap.

And right now, their eyes are looking directly at what could be considered a great trap. 

Action always spoke louder than words, and with the earlier action, they are all convinced by the new product already. 

"What is the price of these Claymore Mines, Sir Gavin?" 

"Shut up about your question! Sir Gavin, I want to purchase one- no I want to purchase three of these Claymore Mines."

"Ignore him. Sir Gavin. I'll gladly offer you a lot more money for these than them." 

"Haha, I'm glad that everyone is enthusiastic about purchasing one for yourself, but I haven't even finished my demonstration of these Claymore mines yet." Shi Tian laughed heartily, calming down the crowd.

"Sir Gavin, there's no need for any more demonstrations."

"Yeah, we have already witnessed the downgraded version and we trust you." 

The crowd could barely contain their excitement to get their hands on the Claymore Mines. 

Plus, Shi Tian was representing Optic Mech, which these people knew and had heard of their reputation. 

Although Optic Mech was considered inferior to Heaven's Mecha in public, these people are the ones that know Optic Mech wasn't that bad either. 

In fact, Optic Mech treats their customers with more respect than Heaven's Mecha. 

All these factors combined, and that they could earn a reserved area for themselves were evident enough that they aren't being swindled. 

Only a fool would attempt to drag their company through the mud for some small-time profit. 

Shi Tian was utterly speechless when his plan worked so effectively. 

'These people truly knew what was good for them and can't wait to get their hands on it.' He thought to himself. 

How could he not know their words are nothing more than flattery and empty praises? 

Though it was indeed a fact that these people are now showing a new impression of Optic Mech. 

At the same time, at a far distance away, Shi Tian noticed some people were discontent and displeased with his action. 

It didn't take long for him to connect the pieces that those people should be from Heaven's Mecha. After all, only a competitor would show such expression despite an amazing product having been brought to light and was up for sale. 

Smiling amicably, Shi Tian held Mary's hand and dragged her to the front. 

He then whispered softly to her, "My job here is done, so you can do the rest. I don't know the price tag of these Claymore mines, but my suggestion is to put it at a price that was within their maximum limit."
