Tang Wulin knew all the basics of making a mecha. However, he did not have to do this himself, and only had to forge the spirit alloys. The materials of the mecha and the core circuits are the most expensive parts, followed by the actual building of a mecha.
Elder Feng's words seem to open an entirely big new door for Tang Wulin.
"The academy has a dedicated Mecha Association. You can provide the materials yourself and have them build it for you but it won't be cheap so you better think about it carefully. I think it'll better for you to build a mecha instead of buying a car. As long as you are registered with the federation, you'll be able to drive the mecha throughout the continent. Of course, you'll be expending more energy compared to driving a car, but it won't be the same," Elder Feng said to Tang Wulin with a tempting tone.
