King's Landing

"Can't buy?"

Ye was stunned, and the tears on the side stopped playing with the phone.

"Why? Why can I buy, he... can't he buy my cousin!?"

"I'm sorry, because miss your cousin, this gentleman does not have the ID of Academy City, our shopping mall has regulations, some special electronic products cannot be sold to outsiders, and the latest mobile phone in your hand is limited product."

It seems that only a female salesperson in her twenties gave an explanation very politely.

"But my cousin..."

"Okay, tears. Since it's a rule, we can't break it casually. Academy City has its own confidentiality measures. The technology here is ahead of the outside world for nearly 30 years. If it leaks out, it will definitely cause a huge response. They do this It's normal."

Ye La held the tears that still wanted to explain, and said with a smile.

"Thank you gentleman for understanding, but this is not the case. We still have many products that can be sold to the outside world. Because even if these products are left outside, they cannot be broken down by external technology."

The female salesperson took the topic patiently and explained to Ye, the outsider.

"Moreover, many products of Xueyuan City have automatic defense systems. If you try to hack with external force or break it forcibly without the permission of the developer, those systems will be activated. At that time, all the development data in the product will be deleted. ."

"Eh? Then why are there still limited products?"

Regarding things like self-destructing systems, Ye can of course guess that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Academy City is open to the outside world several times a year. In this case, it is impossible not to come in without commercial spies who steal technology.After they enter the campus city, they will buy some commercial secrets through the "black market" channel, and of course some electronic products unique to the campus city.

However, the reason why the Academy City has remained standing for so many years, the technology has not leaked out, there must be its unique security measures, the self-destruct system is one of them, this kind of program is not a problem for the science and technology of the Academy City. After all, starting from the principle, it is not too high-end technology to be subjected to certain pressure, or to be forced to crack the program to self-destruct the system to start.

But since there are such strict confidentiality measures, why is there a situation of restricted sale?

There is money to be made, but others don’t?It should be known that the prices of products sold by Academy City have almost doubled several times, and some have even been fired up to dozens of times, hundreds of times. These "export" businesses are also the main funds of many companies and research institutes in Academy City. Sources, not to mention every year, almost every quarter, there are products that have been eliminated, or'defective products' are sold outside.

But even so, so far I have not heard of any country stealing more useful business information and science and technology from Academy City, which shows that Academy City’s secrecy measures are also ahead of the outside'breaking' ability for nearly 30 years. This kind of absolute gap cannot be bridged by ordinary means, and most importantly, this gap is still expanding.

Of course, Ye is not concerned with these, but why there are limited products.

"That's it, sir. There are actually many kinds of limited products. The main reason is that many of these products are only suitable for use in the environment of academy city, such as network and signal. One category. Of course, there are also some that are especially designed to provide convenience and preferential treatment to the residents of the Academy City, so as to attract more'external students'."

"Land use and resident privileges?"

Ye nodded. This situation is easy to understand. In other words, the mobile phone that tears is fond of may be inconvenient to use outside, or it may be specially developed by this company for the "residents" of Academy City. , It belongs to special treatment.

As for buying two copies, or buying under a false name, it’s simply not realistic. Even if you buy tickets outside, you must register with your real name and show your ID. In a highly regulated special zone like Xueyuan City, you must show your personal ID. And it is necessary to verify the identity between the buyer and the ID. There is only one channel to buy this limited product, and that is the black market.

However, the spy Ye is not of a'commercial' nature. He is not interested in this kind of thing. Although it is a pity that he can't buy the same style of mobile phone as Laizi, he still hasn't gotten this mobile phone.

"I see. Could you please take me to see non-restricted products?"

"Ok, the non-restricted products are here, please follow me."

The female salesperson kept a professional smile and was about to lead Ye to the counter on the left.

But at this moment, tears handed back the new mobile phone suddenly.

"Wait a minute! Then, then I won't buy this anymore. My cousin and I will go to see over there."

Ye could see the resentment in her eyes, and it was certain that Tears liked this music phone very much.

"No, please help her go through the formalities, she will buy this one."

"what!?"

When Leizi heard Ye's decision, he turned his head to look at him in surprise.

"If you like it, buy it. If you like others, then buy two and three."

As he said, Ye smiled and patted Leizi's shoulder, then leaned into her ear and joked softly.

"In this way, you can buy a lover's phone with me, teardrop sauce."

"———"

The slender body froze in an instant, and the pretty face with a hint of childishness flushed suddenly.

"You, what are you talking about!? I didn't mean that! I..."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Leizi finally argued loudly in a panic, but all that was left for her was joking laughter.

"Are these all available for purchase?"

Following the female salesperson's prompt, Ye came to the counter of non-restricted products.

He swept across a large swath, and suddenly, a golden mobile phone placed in a special position caught his attention.

"Hey, hello! How come there is a collector's version of the frog phone in this place? And it's still a gold version?"

The golden body, silver eyes, and a silver frog pendant hung below it.

Price: 500,000 yen.
