No clue. The author is from the Netherlands, but this is an English story on the Chinese novel website.
After grabbing the shiny cartoonish coin, Lovejoy quickly departed from the site. The noise might have attracted scoundrels, and he didn't want to be the mantis who stalked the cicada, only to be preyed by the oriole behind.

Futurama type timelines.
"First up, let me introduce you to our youngest seat, Master Guillaume Duchamp! At the spry age of 103, he has managed to break through and receive recognition of his peers for his groundbreaking innovations in the application of liquid armor systems. This underdeveloped field is rich in potential, and Master Duchamp has steadfastly pioneered a viable path to progress for the future generation such as you!"

11 Years to Canis. Not a fast ETA for a short lived contemporary human by any means, but someone with an extended lifespan could spend a couple years of life by comparison on life, study, craft, etc and arrive before they miss too much of their life. One (1) problem. That is a long way to go through double empty just to be stranded in the Space Outback.
An old and distinguished looking gentleman approached the front of the stage. Age, dignity and an almost palpable aura transcendence emanated from the figure. This was definitely a man who benefited from extensive life-prolonging treatments. If Ves had to guess, this man was more than five hundred years old. That meant he was born before the Age of Mechs, and witnessed its rise!

I would assume this is a case of paying for the job to be done right in the first place.
The security around the parade grounds was omnipresent. Ves already spotted hundreds of exoskeleton suits patrolling the grounds. What impressed him the most was that they didn't use any bots at all. It made sense as any bot could be hacked or tampered with. It still ramped up the costs.

Take a Major cruise liner, times it by Space Math, you get that.
In actuality, the Torch of the Vanguard greatly resembled cruise ships whose sole purpose was to tour the most interesting sights in space. The main boulevards inside the ship was lined with shops featuring handcrafted luxuries. Those interested in culture could visit the museums and various theaters. As for those more immersed in the world of mechs, a small arena was nested at the bowels of the vessels.

"I'll do it for 10 mill worth of handy work"
"Say, I'd like to ask a favor from you." Dietrich smiled with more than a little slyness. "Since you're a fancy designer, you should know a lot about mechs, right? I'd like you to tinker with my mech. Just a tune-up is okay."

This. So much this. I have been trying to de-tangle a notorious Dell Optiplex model, and to has been driving me crazy. Ves here at least has the liberty of changing cable lengths.
The only real problem he faced at this stage was that he always had too little room for cabling and other delicate components. The Marc Antony partially inherited the crowded interior from its base model, and Ves could not do much about it even as he already made some attempts at alleviating the issue.

I think this is the virtual arena Iron Spirit part of the novel (I'm replying to my notifications). I actually appreciate the feedback as I don't really know anything about spears. I know that a sword can sometimes afford the space if it's thick enough and the hole is forged and not drilled.
So Ves edited the spear's design again and led a small and narrow line from the back of the spear all the way to the front. The integrity of the spear wasn't affected too much if the tunnel was carved in the middle of the shaft. He added a number of small exhausts right behind the spearhead.

Ves seems to be the "whine in my head, build out the bed" kind of guy. Just cause he complains, doesn't mean he won't do what needs to be done.
What Ves would rather do was to take the strongest drinks of Vincent's bar and gulp it all down. He could already foresee his reputation going down the drain if he continued to cooperate with Vincent.

Barely functional future tech: looks inside (beats modern gaming PC by all measures) slaps MC
The Ricklin Corporation listed in the top 50 of the Bright Republic's stock exchange. Its profits were stable by maintaining an efficient production system that offered barely functional chips at bargain basement prices. Though other competitors offered much higher quality in their lineups, the Ricklin Corporation practically ruled the bottom segment of the market, which was also the biggest slice of the pie.
