Chapter 4808

Correspondingly, the price of such toy flying cars is not cheap either. A toy flying car about the size of an adult's hand costs over 300 yuan, and if it's as long as an adult's forearm, it costs over 500 yuan. Moreover, this is only for ordinary models and ordinary paint jobs; if it's a special model or commemorative edition paint job, it can easily cost several thousand yuan.

Little Jake is very fond of this. Greedy looked up at the topmost large box on Stark's hovering car toy rack, turned to the clerk, and said: "Trouble you to help me take this down."

"Are you sure you want this one?" the clerk asked, "This is a commemorative edition hovering vintage car, and it's a full-body metallic iridescent paint job, so the price might be a bit..."

"Commemorative edition vintage car?" Greedy asked, "Is it the one from the Industrial Expo back then?"

"Oh, this one isn't, this one is a repainted version. If you want the original color version of that one, you might have to wait a bit." The clerk looked embarrassed, then said, "Currently, New York stock is low, only customers with consumption records over 300,000 can access available inventory..."

Greedy was somewhat speechless. Stark selling toys still pulls this allocation scheme. But he thought about it, nowadays kids all like hovering cars, so buying a few more to give as gifts is no problem.

So Greedy turned to Arrogance and said: "Let's pick out a few more to meet the allocation quota."

Arrogance nodded. He casually took down a relatively small model from the rack to look at it; from appearance, it looked no different from an ordinary car model, except that the paint was more refined. So he asked the clerk: "Do you have display models?"

"Yes, please come this way." The clerk led him to the adjacent display area. Arrogance looked up and saw many rings of various sizes hanging in midair, and several kids were playing there. They controlled several cars, darting nimbly through the rings in midair.

At this moment, Arrogance realized that this hovering car is not like remote-control airplane toys with flight angle limitations, and it also has some inertia, making it difficult to control. This car is incredibly agile—not only can it hover at any time, but when flying it can also spin rapidly, and even collide with each other; chasing and playing is very fun.

After looking there for a while, Arrogance said: "We should buy a few more; I want to take them back for Dick and them."

"How old are they?" Greedy laughed and said, "But then again, you guys have fewer fun things over there, so you'll probably have a blast."

Arrogance began to ponder what kind of car models teenagers would prefer, but it's nothing more than some cool sports cars. Possibly because of the collaboration with FIA, there are also some F1 car models. Greedy pointed to those models and said: "You should buy this one; this type should be more popular with teenagers."

The clerk also came over and said: "Yes, if the child is younger, we recommend sedan and sports car models, because these models have very bright colors and are easy to repaint. If the pilot is older and more professional, then choosing a racing car model would be better, because these fly faster, have better collision resistance, and can be used for competitive racing."

Arrogance nodded, then suddenly remembered: "Do you have tractors?"

Greedy looked at him in some shock, but didn't expect the clerk to nod as well, so Greedy looked even more shocked at the clerk—no way, there really are flying tractors?

The clerk led them to another shelf, and they discovered not only flying tractors, but also flying fire trucks, flying ambulances, flying big rigs, flying cranes, and so on.

"Special-purpose vehicles are also very popular," the clerk explained, "Trucks sell even better than many small cars."

Greedy thought about it. Actually, in child psychology, it's indeed true that special-purpose vehicles are more popular. Because in children's eyes, they don't think ordinary cars have any use; they don't understand the function of transportation tools, because they think cars naturally just run, so cars that run are just ordinary.

But they can understand that fire trucks can put out fires, ambulances can save people, cranes can build houses, etc. They will like cars that both run and can do other things, thinking such cars are higher-end, better than cars that only run.

So they picked out some more special-purpose vehicles. Greedy turned to ask the clerk: "Anything even more special?"

"Yes," the clerk nodded and said, "Please come this way."

They walked over and then saw SHIELD's sky carrier, humanity's star cruiser, and even Asgard's flagship, as well as various warships from the three great empires.

Greedy was astonished. Howard really knows how to make money.

Then he had a bit of doubt: the three great empires lost, they weren't destroyed. And now there are still many people from the three great empires active on Earth. Isn't he afraid of being discovered?

Greedy hesitated a bit and asked: "These……are they genuine?"

"You can rest assured, all items sold in my store are from Stark Group..."

"I mean, are these warships licensed?"

The clerk directly took down a set for them to look at, and then Greedy saw on the back of the packaging the laser-colored emblem of the Kree Empire's Supreme Intelligence. The clerk said: "These are all officially licensed merchandise from the three great empires, absolutely no counterfeits or knockoffs exist; you can rest assured."

Greedy truly didn't know what to say. I don't know what the Supreme Intelligence was thinking, nor how Howard negotiated—this is truly one daring to give, one daring to do.

But then he thought: for the new generation, the existence of the three great empires is no secret. In the future, they will be noble citizens of the interstellar capital, probably able to see various three great empires warships just stepping out on weekends, so playing with these toys is no problem.

Moreover, humanity also has its own star cruisers. Not only that, Howard has made several versions in various sizes and paint jobs, plus various escort ships as matching sets; as long as the funds are in place, one can assemble a human fleet oneself. Even one can direct one's own interstellar war—whether internal strife among the three great empires, Asgard fighting the three great empires, or even humanity fighting Asgard—all no problem.

"This also carries the latest laser weapons, of course not real weapons, just a simulated laser, but it looks very much like a star cruiser's main gun firing. When it hits other ships, there are special sound effects; playing with it is very cool." The clerk introduced enthusiastically.

Arrogance had no doubt about this. Because the prices of these spaceship toys are also very cool. Looking now, the 300,000 allocation quota is actually set too low; this money couldn't even direct a real interstellar war.

"Well," Greedy nodded, having to admit, Howard is truly a business genius. In this regard, his vision is far ahead of others.

They bought quite a few more spaceships. However, because Arrogance needs to take them back for the kids there, he didn't pick those oddly shaped three great empires spaceships; most chosen were from humanity's side, plus a few Asgardian ones, which better suit human aesthetics.

As for the ones Greedy bought, he had fewer scruples, directly buying a whole set, and quietly told Arrogance: "This year's Christmas banquet will probably see several interstellar wars break out."

"Then you need to pick a good place," Arrogance said, "Hopefully the living room star system and kitchen star system won't be destroyed too early."

Greedy directly stored everything in his gray mist storage, so he didn't have to carry so much stuff out. Greedy stood in the lobby, hesitated a moment, but ultimately decided to buy everything here today.

"Aren't you buying ingredients?" Arrogance asked.

"I'm not sure I can get the house ready before Christmas." Greedy thought and said, "If possible, then wait until everything is settled before buying ingredients; otherwise, I'd still have to move. There's still a month until Christmas."

"You're too optimistic; right now there's completely no clue, and you want to finish buying and move within a month?"

"New York is a fast-paced metropolis," Greedy said, "Not to mention one month, from buying a house to moving in, it can even be compressed into a week. After all, ordinary landlords won't give you too much time to tidy up."

Arrogance shook his head, not knowing whether it was a sigh or disagreement. But they soon drove back to the sanatorium. When getting out, Arrogance said: "I'm preparing to give Billy the sweater and Captain America toy, then those hovering cars, I'll give them at Christmas."

"Of course it has to be this way; after all, before moving, my office star system must not be destroyed."

Billy shot out from the inner gate like a cannonball, then braked sharply to a stop in front of the two. Greedy ruffled his head and said: "Don't rush; the set hasn't been cleaned up yet, and I and the director still have some things to discuss, but I'll definitely bring you over before Christmas."

Billy felt a bit embarrassed, he said: "I'm not in a hurry either..."

At this moment, Arrogance handed him the things meant for him, then said: "Go try on the clothes first."

Billy saw the things in his hand and immediately screamed, then started jumping in place while spinning around. After jumping a while, he lowered his head to check the next item, then kept screaming.

He ran into the house quickly to change clothes, but after changing, he felt a bit embarrassed again, pinched the hem of his clothes as he came out, and said: "Looks good? Isn't it too bright?"

"Quite good-looking," Arrogance said, "If you wear this to ask Captain America for an autograph, he'll definitely be happy."

"Really?" Billy jumped up again, "I super love him! And his shield! I drew a picture of his shield in art class; can he sign that drawing for me?"

Arrogance turned to look at Greedy. Greedy nodded and said: "Of course, and maybe you can even take a photo with him. By the way, have you opened your flash card pack yet? Maybe you can get a hidden rare."

Billy cheered and went to open the card pack. Arrogance sighed somewhat emotionally and said: "Sometimes I really admire Victor. Kids are always full of energy, sometimes hard to deal with."

"Then in this world, the people you admire will be even more, you haven't seen those few mutant little troublemakers yet." Greedy laughed.

Arrogance also laughed and said: "To be honest, I'm starting to worry about the backyard star system."
