Chapter 1413
After getting off work, Lucy went to the mall to pick out a gift, but she really did not know what she could buy. Thus, she took out her cell phone, typed a message, and sent it to Elaine.
However, the suggestions she got were all expensive luxury items she could not afford.
I‘ve definitely gone to the wrong person for advice.‘
Lucy looked around the mall, and her gaze landed on a souvenir store.
She suddenly thought of Hector‘s mecha figure collection in his house.
‘He should be interested in these, right?‘
Lucy went into the store to look for a gift, and the salesperson came up to her and introduced a few models to her enthusiastically. She told him it was a gift, and the salesperson instantly understood her needs. “Are you buying a gift for your boyfriend?”
Lucy choked on her reply and became incoherent out of anxiety. “Of course not. He‘s just an ordinary friend.”
As if he did not hear her explanation, the salesperson brought her to the shelf on the other side of the shop. “Anyway, he‘s just a man. And as long as he‘s a man, no matter how old he is, he‘ll have the playful mind of a full–grown boy. These figurines are the best sellers in our store.”
Lucy looked at the various figurines displayed on the racks–there were anime characters and mechas.
She took a glance at the price tags and was surprised. “Are all these toys so expensive?” The salesperson gave off a helpless smile.” Toys and figurines are different. If you were to go out there and ask around, you‘d realize that it‘s absolutely normal for figurines to be sold for hundreds of dollars or even a few thousand dollars.
“Figurines are expensive not only because some of them are limited but it‘s also because figurines are very fragile and require a certain amount of maintenance cost. Most of the raw materials used to create figurines are very sensitive to ultraviolet rays and will undergo irreversible changes under irradiation, such as degradation and decolorization. The figures shouldn‘t be heated
either. Otherwise, they‘ll age very easily and reduce their lifespan.”
Lucy took out her cell phone, checked her account balance, gnashed her teeth, turned her head around, and asked, “Then do you have a limited edition version here?”
