474: Chapter 473: The official guide price far exceeded expectations!

"Holy crap, isn't that cheaper than a car?? I was planning to use the 300,000 I saved up to get a new car last week, but now, if I just get a set of Exoskeleton Armor, wouldn't that be insanely awesome!!"

"What's a car but industrial trash? Does it even deserve to be compared to Exoskeleton Armor??"

"That's true... but I still want the Space Exploration Edition. I really want to go to space!! Only the Space Exploration Edition is true Exoskeleton Armor!!!"

"Who doesn't... Sigh! As long as the price is over a million, it's not something us ordinary people can consider..."

Online, speculation about the price was overwhelming, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, with all sorts of opinions.

However, the mainstream view was that this thing definitely wouldn't be cheap.

After all, it was Exoskeleton Armor.

Just hearing the name made it sound like something from a different dimension than ordinary consumer goods.

People felt both anticipation and a hint of worry.

On stage, Kang Guang took a deep breath.

He could fully feel the tension in the audience, which was almost tangible.

"I know that what everyone is most concerned about right now is the price."

Kang Guang looked into the camera.

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"So, let's have our Chief Designer Lin personally reveal the selling price to everyone!"

On the big screen, Lin Mo's figure appeared once again.

He was sitting in his office, his expression as calm as ever.

Behind him stood the three different versions of the civil Exoskeleton Armor, shimmering with a cold metallic luster.

"Fellow citizens of Huaxia, I am Lin Mo."

"Regarding the pricing of the Kunlun Second Generation Civil Exoskeleton Armor, we have indeed discussed it internally for a long time."

"From the very beginning."

"What we considered was never the cost, nor the profit."

Lin Mo's voice was unhurried, yet it carried a power capable of soothing people's hearts.

"What we considered was only one thing."

"And that is how to let every single Huaxia citizen."

"Regardless of wealth, region, or age."

"Be able to enjoy the dividends brought by technological progress, and possess the right to choose a better life!"

"I have said before."

"If I must empty everyone's wallets, I would rather it be for equipment that benefits the country and the people, like Exoskeleton Armor."

"But today, what I want to say is that we are not even planning to empty everyone's wallets."

"The Kunlun Exoskeleton Armor will become a new basic livelihood guarantee that we in Huaxia present to all our people, following nine-year compulsory education, universal healthcare, and universal poverty alleviation!"

As his voice fell, the scene erupted in an uproar.

A basic livelihood guarantee?

What does that mean?

Could it be... free???

Everyone was frightened by this crazy thought, but immediately felt it was impossible.

Just looking at the cost of this thing, one knew it was an astronomical figure.

How could it possibly be given away for free to over a billion people!

Just as everyone was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, Lin Mo's voice sounded again.

His expression became unprecedentedly serious and solemn.

"Next, I will officially announce the official guide price for the Kunlun Second Generation Civil Exoskeleton Armor!"

Lin Mo paused, as if to give everyone time to mentally prepare.

"First, the most powerful 'Space Exploration Edition', its standard retail price is—"

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

It's here!

On the screen, Lin Mo's lips parted slightly.

A number clearly spread throughout the venue, and also spread to every corner of Huaxia.

"199,800!"
