Ch: 1-10
Chapter 1 Genius Scientist?
In 2008, New York.
Tony Stark, full of youthful vigor, stood on the podium, facing countless reporters from various news agencies, who held up their cameras and madly snapped photos of the self-proclaimed 'charming and elegant' Tony Stark.
Happy, Obadiah Stane, and even Pepper Potts were completely ignored.
There was only one protagonist now, and that was Tony Stark.
Tony Stark proudly introduced his new achievement.
"The Jericho missile, this is the first missile system to incorporate our patented impact technology…"
However, Tony Stark was interrupted by a reporter before he could finish, and immediately got heated.
Because the reporter mentioned a person.
"Mr. Stark, the genius scientist Arthur said that the weapons you make are all outdated, and the future World should be a more highly intelligent warfare model."
This was clearly an attempt to fan the flames.
But Tony Stark fell for it and immediately got heated.
Happy and the others next to him felt a bad premonition, but it was too late to stop him.
Even if the reporter speaking had long, wavy blonde hair, it still couldn't make Tony cool down; instead, he said into the microphone, "Genius scientist? He's a fake!"
"Let him turn his PPT into reality first. Don't be like those Indian guys who only make PPTs and only deceive everyone!"
"I graduated from MIT at 15; he's just a bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere!"
"…"
"Tony, Tony, calm down!"
Happy quickly hugged him from behind and dragged him aside.
The reporters were immediately overjoyed, frantically capturing Tony Stark's 'breakdown moment'.
Sure enough, as long as that name was mentioned in front of Tony Stark, there would definitely be big news.
The blonde, wavy-haired reporter continued to shout, "Mr. Stark, I heard that Arthur is preparing to create artificial intelligence. Do you have any related plans?"
"Artificial intelligence? I'm also making androids!"
Tony Stark immediately replied, "I told you he's a liar; these are all my plans! He's just a clown trying to grab attention!"
Subsequently, Tony was dragged away by Happy.
"Happy, I'm really angry right now. Help me arrange a meeting with that female reporter."
Tony Stark hummed.
As a playboy, even at that moment, he still paid attention to the female reporter's appearance and measurements.
She was very much to his liking.
…
"Tony Stark, how did you know I was making androids?"
Arthur , only 20 years old, was sitting on the sofa at this moment, holding a glass of champagne with ice cubes, amused by Tony Stark's outburst on TV.
A year ago, as a transmigrator, he came to the Marvel Universe, and he also brought a [Scientist System] with him.
As long as he gained reputation points, he could draw or exchange for various technological blueprints and create them in a very 'magical' way.
So, Arthur started to butt heads with Tony Stark.
No choice, who told him to be so high-profile and have so much traffic?
Arthur opened his 'Future Technology' company next to Stark Industries and kept slapping Tony Stark's face, always making things better than Tony's.
All sorts of small gadgets, high-tech weapons, and the like emerged endlessly.
Soon, the arrogant Tony Stark's ego exploded, and he mocked Arthur in front of reporters. Arthur didn't indulge him and directly cursed back.
Just like the scene just now, the World had actually seen it many times before.
But for this kind of feud between rich people, it was still a welcome sight.
Arthur took a look; everything was ready.
Then he opened his system.
[Name: Arthur .]
[Age: 20 years old.]
[Hobbies: Women.]
[Current Reputation Value: One hundred fifty-six thousand.]
[Lottery: One hundred thousand reputation points for one draw, one million for ten draws (guaranteed golden blueprint).]
[Shop: …]
The reason there was so little was because Arthur had used a lot, and he had just used his saved reputation points to exchange for a blueprint.
[Type B YoRHa Intelligent Android Blueprint (also known as Nier Type 2B, YoRHa Type 2B).]
Of course, the most familiar name was: 2B Miss.
Arthur had been coveting her for a long time. As the company's CEO, he only had a small assistant by his side, not even a personal attendant. Was this acceptable?
So, as soon as he had enough reputation points, he immediately exchanged for her.
He continued to look down.
[Height: 168cm (including high heels).]
[Weight: 148.8 kg.]
[Measurements: 84 / 5.]
[Required Materials: 100kg Water, 200kg fiber, 50kg metal, and powered on….]
[Once created, she will fully obey the Host.]
Tony Stark wasn't wrong; Arthur was indeed a fake scientist.
After all, with the blueprint given by the system, if he really followed it, he probably wouldn't be able to make anything.
But there was nothing he could do; who told Arthur to have a system?
He just needed to prepare all the materials and then let the system build it itself!
If Tony Stark had the ability, he should get a system too!
After preparing the materials, Arthur let it build itself.
Subsequently, Arthur 's blueprint disappeared, and a progress bar appeared.
[Currently in production, please wait patiently!]
"Oh my, it's a one-time blueprint!"
Arthur 's dream of creating an army of 2B Misses was shattered.
This broken blueprint was actually a one-time use!
No wonder there were many similar blueprints in the shop.
For example, [A2 Blueprint], [Seventh Airborne Squad Eve Blueprint (Stellar Blade)], [Seventh Airborne Squad Swift Blueprint], [Fifth Airborne Squad Lily Blueprint], [Second Airborne Squad Raven Blueprint], [Dragon Ball Android 18 Blueprint]…
These were all 'androids', from the Nier Worldview, Stellar Blade Worldview, and Dragon Ball's Android 18 were all there.
But after much thought, Arthur still liked 2B Miss, so he exchanged for 2B first.
After all, who doesn't like greasy thighs?
2B belongs to the mechanized infantry legion "YoRHa"; she is a combat type android.
But in reality, she is a 2E android, which is an Executioner.
In her World, Earth is already a ruin, invaded by a group of mechanical life forms. 2B fights for humanity, so she regards humans as her Master.
She clearly knows she is an android, unlike Eve and others who consider themselves human, so Arthur decided to create 2B first.
Soon, the progress bar in front of him gradually filled up.
After a ball of light appeared, the materials in front of him gradually transformed into a human form.
White short hair, black blindfold, wearing a Gothic dress, and black over-the-knee high-heeled leather boots.
Her figure was tall and perfect, simply like the Creator's most perfect creation.
This was 2B Miss!
Seeing Arthur , 2B directly pounced over: "Human!"
Chapter 2: The 300-pound girl
"Ouch!"
Arthur exclaimed, immediately tackled by 2B onto the sofa, which broke with a 'bang'.
If he wasn't young, Arthur felt like he would have been crushed too.
How could 2B Miss be like a mountain?
It was then that he saw the number.
148.8 kg.
Kilograms?
Arthur felt dizzy; this slender, seemingly perfect goddess in front of him was almost three hundred pounds!
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
2B stood up awkwardly, quickly pulling Arthur up.
She quickly explained, "I was just too excited to see a human! I've never seen a human on the space station or on Earth!"
It seemed she possessed 'memories'.
However, Arthur wasn't worried, because the system stated that she would completely obey him.
This was more reliable than the three laws of artificial intelligence.
"So 2B, can you tell me about your past experiences?"
Arthur wanted to build some rapport, so he asked.
2B didn't refuse and began to recount what had happened.
Hearing about the tragic state of Earth, Arthur was also alarmed; thankfully, he hadn't transmigrated to the World of Nier, or he would have been finished.
It seemed that in these Worlds… humans were all quite miserable?
For example, in the World of Stellar Blade, humans were forced to become Naytibas.
Then, 2B said, "My mission is to protect humans, Master, and from now on, I will only protect you."
"That's good."
Arthur nodded, "Since that's the case, then stay by my side."
…
The next day.
A luxurious Maybach drove towards downtown Manhattan.
If people saw the driver, they would be incredibly shocked.
Because she was even wearing a black mask while driving!
The driver was 2B, and the black mask was actually her tactical visor, which had no impact on her.
Arthur sat in the back seat, taking an iced drink from the car refrigerator and sipping it.
He hadn't come to the company yesterday specifically to test 2B's capabilities.
Sure enough, 2B could do everything, whether it was laundry, cooking, or even undressing and warming the bed…
She even stated that if Arthur needed, she could do things that humans do.
Because 2B was made entirely according to human organs.
Aside from being a bit heavy… she had no flaws.
Therefore, to handle 2B Miss, Arthur still needed to exercise.
Perhaps next time, he should get some body-strengthening Future Technology?
He checked his Prestige value; it had already reached 200,000.
Tony Stark, that playboy, really generated a lot of traffic!
Even sleeping with a cover model got reported!
Unlike Arthur , who could only piggyback on his popularity for now.
Soon, the Maybach arrived next to Stark Industries.
Arthur specifically got out here, letting 2B drive to the parking lot.
"Master, there are too many people here, which might pose a threat to you."
2B scanned the area with her tactical visor; many people held cameras, which seemed to pose a certain danger.
Arthur agreed with her; these reporters were indeed crazy.
But at this moment, he really needed these reporters.
So he said, "Don't worry, 2B, just go to my office and wait for me."
"Alright."
2B had no choice but to accept the command.
Then, Arthur tidied his hairstyle, then elegantly opened the back door and got out of the car.
"Mr. Arthur !"
"Genius Scientist!"
As soon as Arthur got out of the car, he was surrounded by frantic reporters.
Because Tony Stark had 'criticized' Arthur yesterday, and Arthur hadn't 'responded' yet.
How could news only be half-reported?
If there's no news, then create news!
So they had been blocking the Future Technology building since early morning.
Arthur smiled, and Future Technology Company's security immediately came to help him block them.
These security guards were tall and burly, but upon closer inspection, they had various disabilities, with many parts of their bodies being 'mechanical' prosthetics.
This was one of Future Technology Company's achievements.
"Mr. Arthur , what do you think about Tony Stark saying you're a fake scientist? And he seems to look down on your identity, believing you're an Easterner and not rigorous about science."
Microphones were immediately thrust into Arthur 's face.
He didn't like so many microphones and immediately stepped back.
Then, Arthur said with a smile, "I've always said that Mr. Stark and I are not enemies; we can cooperate, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to see it that way."
He subtly implied that Tony Stark was petty, and the reporters were indeed delighted.
Because at first, Arthur had never provoked Tony Stark, but the reporters used their imagination, adding fuel to the fire, and the conflict between the two sides grew…
Just like now, Arthur had watched the live broadcast yesterday; Tony Stark really hadn't said the latter part of the statements, it was all added by the reporters themselves.
It could be said that the mutual dislike between Arthur and Tony Stark was partly due to these reporters.
Of course, Tony Stark was indeed a scoundrel, and Arthur didn't want to be friends with him either.
"If I'm a fake, then everything Mr. Stark makes is trash, isn't it? I don't like him saying that about himself!"
Arthur continued sarcastically, "Our Future Technology's intention is to benefit the World, to create a World without the weak, perhaps Mr. Stark needs our new Future Technology."
"Make way!"
Arthur said, moving inside, and the reporters were naturally unwilling.
"Mr. Arthur , say more, say a little more!"
They felt there wasn't enough news yet.
But there was nothing they could do; Arthur was led inside by these strong security guards, and the reporters were no match for the security.
These security guards were retired disabled soldiers who had been cured and given a new life at Future Technology Company, and they were fiercely loyal to the company.
Just then, Tony Stark also arrived at the company, and the reporters immediately swarmed him.
"Mr. Stark, just now the genius scientist Mr. Arthur said that everything you make is trash, what do you think?"
Tony Stark, who had just gotten out of his car, was immediately infuriated.
He immediately shouted, "That fake's creations have never proven their capabilities! They haven't even been on the battlefield, oh, it's because the Pentagon doesn't trust his creations at all, that's why he can't get orders!"
Tony Stark mocked, "The full performance of what he makes can only be seen in his PPTs, just like the U.S. military's sixth-generation fighter jet…"
"Cough cough."
Seeming to realize the impropriety, Tony Stark immediately said, "If he can really create a perfect artificial intelligence, I'll run naked in Times Square!"
Just kidding.
Even a genius like him had put a lot of effort into creating Jarvis, and it wasn't even a perfect artificial intelligence.
Arthur had previously boasted that he would create a perfect artificial intelligence, which ignited the curiosity of the entire World, causing his Prestige value to skyrocket…
Chapter 3 Secretary's Business
"Master, a strange woman has arrived at your office."
As Arthur entered the company, a woman in high heels came to greet him.
This was his secretary.
He looked at Gwen Stacy, who had short blonde hair and a tall figure, and said, "I know, that's my maid."
Gwen Stacy, about the same age as Arthur , was still studying at Empire State University and worked here part-time as a secretary.
That's why Arthur lamented not having a personal assistant.
Otherwise, he could have his secretary do work, and when there's no work…
"Maid?"
Gwen Stacy's expression immediately turned strange, as if thinking, 'You rich people sure know how to have fun.'
Recalling carefully, that woman was indeed wearing a gothic dress and a mask. Could it be some strange fetish?
Seeing her expression, Arthur immediately tapped her on the head.
"Her name is 2B Miss, and she's an android I created."
"Android?"
Gwen exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Arthur with admiration: "Master, you really made an android?"
A woman's admiration is the most gratifying thing for a man.
Arthur could barely suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Keep it low-key, don't tell anyone."
"Got it."
Gwen's eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
She had a somewhat reclusive personality and few friends normally, but she greatly admired geniuses.
Just as women all like heroes.
Arthur 's persona was 'genius scientist', and coupled with the Professor at the school having a collaboration with the company, that's why she came to interview for the job.
The elevator arrived at the top floor, and Gwen stopped outside the office, carefully observing 2B Miss. Only then did she notice something unusual.
2B Miss was always very upright and seemed very proper.
Moreover, how could anyone walk around wearing a mask like that?
…
Entering the office, Arthur sat in the Master's chair.
2B Miss had been standing inside and only spoke when she saw him enter: "Master, I have brewed coffee for you."
"Thank you."
Arthur nodded with satisfaction. Gwen used to do this before.
"Is there anything else you need? I can provide Master with massage services, ear-picking services, etc."
2B Miss said to Arthur . Because she was wearing a mask, Arthur couldn't see her eyes.
And androids are also very unlikely to have any 'emotions'.
Perhaps this was 2B Miss's weakest point, a certain lack of emotion.
Arthur said, "Help me massage my shoulders."
2B Miss immediately walked behind him.
"Ow!"
"A little less force!"
Those mechanical little hands almost crushed Arthur 's bones.
For a combat-type robot like 2B Miss, ordinary humans are too fragile.
Of course, once he adapted to the force, it was still very comfortable.
2B Miss clearly knew about muscles and acupuncture points, pressing directly into the deep spots, making Arthur feel both sore and refreshed.
Afterwards, he opened his computer and bought traffic and hired internet trolls for his news.
Soon, he and Tony Stark appeared on the headlines again.
Anyway, for Arthur , he wasn't short on money for now.
Future Technology Company had just become profitable not long ago, especially in the area of 'prosthetics,' which were pieces of equipment from the Cyberpunk World and very advanced for this era.
And how many disabled people are there in all of America?
There are approximately seventy million disabled individuals in total.
Although not all of them necessarily need prosthetics, it still represents a vast market.
Coupled with the high pricing, he was making money from U.S. people anyway, so Arthur wasn't polite.
So making money wasn't an issue.
Arthur also had nowhere good to spend money. He didn't like buying a bunch of luxury cars like a nouveau riche; he simply used it all to buy popularity…
This also led to him and Tony Stark making headlines every few days, becoming celebrity figures across all of America.
One could say, Tony Stark's current success also had a part of his contribution!
However, he suspected Tony Stark also bought traffic…
News favorable to Stark Industries was often heavily reported.
Standard procedure.
Subsequently, Arthur watched his prestige value soar.
It instantly reached over two hundred thousand.
"It's good to get famous early!"
He forcibly suppressed the urge to draw and averted his gaze.
"If I draw again, I'll chop off my hand! At least a ten-pull!"
Previously, he didn't believe in luck and would draw whenever he had prestige value, resulting in various abstract items.
Things like healing needles, stamina potions, and so on.
It's not that these things were bad, but they were far from what Arthur had in mind.
He wanted to directly pull out a 'Two-Dimensional Foil' with one hundred thousand prestige value, to live up to his title as the 'European Emperor' (a term for someone with extreme luck in gacha games).
At the very least, it should be a Universe spaceship or something, right?
But all he got were these small items, he even drew the Hulk's underwear…
This item indeed had very high technological content.
The system said that items include technological objects from all Worlds, and anything could be drawn.
So, it was entirely up to fate.
Only a ten-pull could guarantee a good item.
To distract himself, Arthur simply started playing computer games.
Playing games while 2B Miss gave a massage, how pleasant was that?
Unfortunately, there weren't many games in this era.
The major games of 2008, in Arthur 's opinion, were already outdated.
No choice but to play Left 4 Dead.
Fighting zombies all the way, 2B Miss watched with considerable surprise.
"Master, do you only play such backward games?"
"Of course."
Arthur twitched his mouth. When "Nier: Automata" comes out someday, he'll play it with 2B Miss.
Let's see how she reacts to controlling herself?
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Master."
"Come in."
Arthur told 2B Miss to continue and said, leaning back in his chair.
Gwen Stacy walked in, glanced at the enjoying Arthur , and sighed inwardly about the unscrupulous Master exploiting an android.
However, the more she looked at 2B Miss, the more elegant she found her.
Wearing a well-fitted Gothic dress, with gloves on her hands, she truly looked like a Gothic maid.
"What is it?"
Arthur saw Gwen observing 2B Miss and asked.
This was his 2B Miss…
Gwen came back to her senses and said, "Master, I have to go to school this afternoon. ProfessorConnors invited you to come see the results."
"Okay."
Arthur turned off the game. Being a Master was indeed boring; no wonder Tony Stark often hung out with young models.
Afterward, they had lunch, and then Arthur invited Gwen to ride in his Maybach to Empire State University.
You know, this was the Master's favorite car. As soon as Arthur sat in it, he felt a radiant glow.
And the car was spacious enough. Even for a bet, it could seat people. It was perfectly normal for Arthur and Gwen to sit in the back.
Gwen, with her blonde hair, sat obediently beside him, only looking curiously at 2B Miss.
"Master, can 2B Miss drive without using her eyes to see?"
"She has eyes; these are tactical goggles."
Arthur explained.
Actually, 2B Miss also has a drone for assistance during combat, allowing her to fight with 360-degree coverage.
Keeping 2B Miss by his side also served as a bodyguard. Arthur felt very secure about her combat power.
Chapter 4 The Coveted Experiment
Empire State University, located in Upper Manhattan, is a prestigious Ivy League private school.
Upon entering the university, one can see the motto: "Strive for Excellence."
Gwen Stacy's grades were excellent, and she was admitted to the biology department there.
Arthur had 2B wait in the car, then entered the university with Gwen.
2B's head kept watching Arthur , afraid he was in danger, until he disappeared.
The campus atmosphere in America was lively, with girls in short skirts and black stockings everywhere, proudly displaying their fair skin.
Of course, Arthur directly skipped over the occasional darker-skinned person.
"University life is truly good," Arthur sighed.
Gwen Stacy, hugging her bag and looking down at her toes as she walked, was bewildered when she heard this: "Huh?"
Arthur glanced at the girl, who seemed lost in thought, and replied, "Nothing."
She certainly wouldn't understand the meaning of that sentence.
"Ding-a-ling!"
Soon, the bell rang.
Gwen let out an 'ah' and sped forward.
"Master, I'm going to class now."
She didn't forget to turn back and wave, almost tripping.
But she reacted extremely quickly, immediately supporting herself with one hand, as if 'crawling' forward.
High heels were still something she wasn't used to.
"Be careful!"
Arthur called out, and then walked towards the laboratory.
Soon, he arrived at a biology laboratory.
"Knock, knock."
Arthur knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" a muffled voice came from inside.
"Professor Connors, it's me," Arthur said, and the door opened, and he was enthusiastically pulled inside.
Curtis Curt Connors was once a military doctor, but he lost his right arm in the war, so after retiring, he devoted himself to researching limb regeneration technology.
Previously, Arthur found him, promised to help him with his experiments, and brought him to New York, where he joined Empire State University and became a Professor.
This was mainly to leverage U.S. funding.
"Li, you're here," Professor Connors enthusiastically pulled Arthur with his single arm.
"I heard you were looking for me," Arthur said.
"That's right, my experiment has reached a critical moment, but I feel it's not safe here," ProfessorConnors said.
"Oh?" Arthur was puzzled.
"When I came in this morning, I found signs of disturbance in my lab," Professor Connors said with a grim expression. "Many people are watching our experiment, and I'm worried someone might be secretly causing trouble."
He led Arthur to the disturbed area, where it was clear that the person who entered the lab was well-trained and obviously looking for data.
This was also Arthur 's fault; to gain popularity, he had sensationalized many experiments into news stories.
Professor Connors was researching a DNA serum containing genes from reptiles like lizards, which naturally generated a lot of buzz; even ordinary people were very interested in it, causing ProfessorConnors a great deal of psychological pressure.
If the experiment failed, he would be ridiculed across all of America.
Of course, if it succeeded, he would immediately become a celebrity scientist in the U.S.
How incredible would it be to allow people to regrow lost limbs?
This naturally attracted the covetousness of others, whether they were rivals or people with ulterior motives.
From many perspectives, the emergence of this serum would overturn many preconceived notions.
"Really? Then let's move the experiment to the company," Arthur was also concerned, so he said, "By the way, Professor Connors, many people are watching the experiment now, so we must be foolproof."
"I know," Professor Connors nodded with a wry smile.
This was intentional on Arthur 's part.
Because he found that Professor Connors was very eager for quick results, a trait that could easily lead to a lack of rigor in experimental research.
So he hyped up the publicity, and sure enough, Professor Connors felt the psychological burden and dared not act recklessly.
"Moreover, Future Technology Company is researching a new technology that might be helpful for your experiment," Arthur then said.
"Artificial intelligence?" Professor Connors knew that Arthur had been hyping this topic recently, and Tony Stark had even been publicly debating him.
"That would indeed be effective."
Subsequently, Arthur made a phone call, asking his company's security to come and move everything.
Arthur was very cautious; after all, many people were envious of Future Technology, and this was America.
No matter how rich one was, if one didn't pay attention to personal safety, something could happen.
Tony Stark's parents were so wealthy, yet they were still assassinated.
Professor Connors immediately went to contact the university.
Anyway, the university would get a share of the results; they only cared about the prestige, so it didn't matter to them.
...
Half an hour later, Future Technology Company's security arrived.
Although they all had various prosthetics, and some even had metal plates on their faces, no one dared to underestimate them.
"Be careful," Professor Connors watched them carry the equipment and data upstairs.
Then, they were ready to depart.
They were all veterans, so they were well-prepared, and the escort at this time appeared orderly.
Arthur quickly hailed Professor Connors to get into his car.
"Professor Connors, would you like to ride in my car?"
"No, I must be with my research findings," Professor Connors flatly refused.
In his eyes, probably nothing was more important than his research.
Arthur didn't mind, he just took out his walkie-talkie and reminded, "Keep your eyes wide open!"
Professor Connors's laboratory was clearly being watched, so they had to be careful now.
"Yes, Master!" the security guards immediately replied.
Future Technology Company had given these veterans a second chance at life, and also provided security jobs, allowing them to support their families, so they would naturally fight to the death.
Soon, the convoy set off.
"All clear!"
"Vehicle two is still following, no suspicious individuals detected."
"Continue to be vigilant," Arthur replied.
2B continued to drive the Maybach steadily, but this time, it was at the very back.
The vehicles continued to drive, and because there was a lot of traffic all the way, nothing happened.
This also made Arthur breathe a sigh of relief; this was New York, so it wasn't that easy for something to go wrong.
Just then, 2B reminded, "Master, one car's movements are suspicious!"
Arthur immediately looked left and right: "Which one?"
"In the adjacent lane at the intersection, heading towards us," 2B quickly replied; although she didn't use her eyes, it was as if her eyes were everywhere.
"Stop!"
Hearing 2B's words, Arthur chose to trust her and immediately shouted.
The two transport vehicles in front immediately slammed on their brakes.
"Screech!"
After the two vehicles stopped, a tanker truck, a more terrifying presence than a fully-insured semi-trailer, indeed shot out from the right side of the intersection ahead.
Then it directly tipped over to the side.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, passersby instinctively ran away, fearing the thing would explode.
And at the rear of the convoy, several transport vehicles immediately followed, directly surrounding Future Technology's two transport vehicles!
Chapter 5: Is This Still Human?
Arthur reacted quickly, immediately shouting into the walkie-talkie: "We have enemies! Get ready!"
The company's security personnel all had gun permits, so he wasn't too worried.
But when Arthur saw the weapons in the hands of the people getting off the transport trucks, he immediately started complaining.
"What?"
The back doors of the transport trucks opened, and masked gang members jumped out.
They were holding various restricted weapons, such as fully automatic rifles and even RPGs.
"Is this still New York?"
"Even a gang war isn't this fierce!"
Arthur immediately told 2B: "Call the police quickly!"
"Master, please do not get out of the car."
2B had already called the police, and while reversing the car, she spoke to Arthur .
"I know, this car is bulletproof."
Fortunately, Arthur was cautious by nature; the customized Maybach he ordered was bulletproof.
"Which gang is this?"
Arthur watched as they moved further away, no longer worried about himself.
Luckily, 2B hadn't been following too closely, giving them room to retreat first.
He couldn't figure out which gang this was. New York, a global metropolis, was full of gangs and underground emperors.
Arthur picked up the walkie-talkie: "Focus on protecting Professor Connors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fighting began.
These security guards were all veterans, naturally unafraid of combat.
At that moment, the Future Technology Company transport trucks opened small ports, and smoke grenades were thrown out one by one.
"Bang!"
In an instant, the entire street became shrouded in smoke.
The gang members seemed to have 'reservations'; they didn't dare shoot indiscriminately, only using their weapons for deterrence.
Their goal wasn't to kill people, but to steal the research data.
Due to news coverage, Professor Connors' serum had become highly desirable.
Who wouldn't want 'limb regeneration'?
Therefore, even after the smoke grenades were thrown, they didn't immediately open fire.
And then they became ghosts under the guns.
These veterans, disabled from participating in war, were not comparable to common thugs.
"Da da da!"
Although their weapons weren't in the same league, the veterans were incredibly accurate, and many gang members instantly fell into pools of blood.
Arthur sat in the bulletproof car, put on a pair of goggles that cut through the smoke, and casually retrieved a bottle of champagne from the car fridge, pouring it into a flute and drinking.
Just thugs, clearly out of their depth.
The gang members were dispersed and hid behind cover.
"Open fire! Don't worry about it anymore!"
"But Boss wants us to protect the goods!"
"Protect what?! We're all going to die!"
The gang thugs immediately started arguing.
"Bang!"
Just as one of the minor leaders was about to order them to open fire, he was shot in the head.
Arthur applauded: "2B, nice shot."
"Master, someone is taking advantage of the situation to approach Vehicle One."
2B's tactical goggles were naturally unaffected, allowing her to clearly see a humanoid figure approaching the transport truck, and the veterans were being taken down without any resistance.
This person was not tall, appearing rather slender in 2B's eyes, but their figure was agile and well-trained.
Clearly, this was a human female.
Arthur also saw it. When he noticed the veterans being taken down, he immediately said: "2B, hurry and go protect Professor Connors!"
"But, Master, you..."
2B was normally aloof; in the game, she would shyly run away if someone peeked at her skirt, but now she showed a hint of worry.
"Hurry! I won't go outside!"
Arthur said anxiously.
Professor Connors was an idealistic good man, and Arthur knew him and his wife; they were both very kind people.
Although they were business partners, they were also friends.
Sensing Arthur 's anxiety, 2B immediately obeyed the order and got out of the car... "What's happening outside?"
Professor Connors tightly hugged his data.
However, since he only had one arm, he seemed somewhat helpless.
Staying in the truck with him was Jennings, Captain of the security squad, who was currently protecting him.
Jennings had lost a leg in the war, so he was grateful to Arthur for giving him a second chance in life.
"The noise stopped."
Jennings listened carefully.
After he spoke, he heard someone twisting the door handle outside, trying to open it and enter.
He immediately shielded Professor Connors behind him and shouted: "Who's there?"
There was no answer, and he grew more nervous, raising his gun.
"Clang!"
The car door was opened. Jennings immediately raised his gun, but the person who opened the door reacted quickly, instantly wrapping around his arm and knocking the gun away.
"Hello."
Hearing her voice, Jennings glanced over and saw a beautiful blonde woman.
Then he was knocked unconscious.
The woman was very young, wearing a black bodysuit with beautiful blonde hair. She reached out and said: "Professor Connors? I don't want to hurt you, please come with me."
"Who are you?"
Professor Connors naturally refused and asked.
"Yelena."
Yelena replied, then reached out to grab Professor Connors.
However, a small, gloved hand gripped her like an iron vise.
Yelena quickly turned her head and saw a masked woman facing her, with short white hair and wearing a Gothic dress.
Why is she dressed like that?
"Professor Connors is not going with you."
As 2B exerted force, Yelena felt as if her arm was about to break.
Then she also exerted force, lunging straight at 2B, climbing onto 2B's body with strange movements, and pressing down hard.
"?
Yelena was stunned; this strange woman hadn't budged an inch.
If it were anyone else, even a strong man several sizes larger than her, they would have been slammed hard onto the ground.
Subsequently, 2B directly flung Yelena away.
"Bang!"
Yelena's back slammed against the carriage wall, and she fell to the ground.
"Ouch!"
She rubbed her back, then quickly pulled out a gun.
"Bang bang bang!"
She seemed to possess the skills of a U.S. police officer, emptying the clip instantly.
In response, 2B dodged the bullets effortlessly, as if dancing.
Seeing this situation, Yelena knew her mission was a failure.
How can anyone react fast enough to dodge bullets?
Is this still human?!
Therefore, Yelena quickly took advantage of the dissipating smoke and ran toward the street corner.
"Aren't you going to chase her?"
Professor Connors sighed in relief. If there had been no other choice, he had been ready to inject the serum himself.
In any case, he absolutely could not allow himself to be captured.
"My mission is to protect you."
2B said in a very aloof manner.
She had a cold exterior but a warm heart, giving outsiders a very detached impression.
"Professor, please follow me."
Then, 2B spoke again, sounding anxious.
Professor Connors looked over and saw a group of fearless battlefield reporters arriving even faster than the New York Police Department... Seeing the reporters, Arthur was passively triggered and immediately rolled down his window to accept interviews.
No wonder 2B was anxious.
Chapter 6 Yelena
The New York Police Department arrived late, only to see Arthur being interviewed.
They quickly secured the scene, but the frenzied reporters refused to back down.
"Mr. Arthur , may I ask if you were too arrogant and offended someone, leading to this retaliation?"
A male reporter immediately asked in an inflammatory tone.
However, Arthur also had a trick up his sleeve; he directly said, "I don't like you. Please, a question from the beautiful lady. You are very pretty."
He directly pointed to a blonde, blue-eyed female reporter.
Upon hearing this, the female reporter subconsciously straightened her posture, displaying her impressive figure.
Then, very professionally, she pushed the male reporter aside, and as she handed over the microphone, a small card also conveniently fell into the car.
The blonde female reporter said with a smile, "Mr. Arthur , may I ask what happened here?"
The male reporter was extremely unwilling but dared not miss the news, so he immediately listened intently.
Arthur finally felt much better.
Just like a certain old acquaintance, he must never fall into the self-incrimination trap; news unfavorable to him is all fake news…
So, Arthur smiled and said, "As you can see, our research was attacked. The data inside is all about the research on the limb regeneration serum…"
Arthur spoke eloquently, also mentioning the company's research, helping Professor Connors gain significant fame.
Professor Connors gave a wry smile, feeling immense pressure.
"Then who was the attacker?"
The female reporter immediately asked.
"I don't know."
Arthur shook his head, then had a sudden idea.
At a time like this, how could Tony Stark be left out?
So he immediately continued, "I suspect Tony Stark thought I was too handsome, and he couldn't compare to me, so he sent people to destroy my research."
The reporters were indeed excited when they heard that name.
Then, Arthur closed the car window.
"Mr. Arthur , please say more!"
"…"
The reporters refused to leave, shouting frantically, and the blonde female reporter even motioned for Arthur to call her number.
At this moment, the New York Police Department finally came to disperse the crowd.
Facing a patron like Arthur , the New York Police Department also had to show respect.
After all, not long ago, Future Technology Company had provided the New York Police Departmentwith advanced police cars and various small instruments in the name of donations.
"Mr. Arthur , are you alright?"
A middle-aged police chief immediately came over.
"I'm fine, George."
Arthur replied, "Please provide treatment for my employees."
"No problem, this is our oversight."
George Stacy said awkwardly.
Judging by the surname, he was Gwen Stacy's father.
How could Arthur blame his father-in-law? No…
How could he blame his secretary's old father?
The officers quickly checked; Future Technology's security guards were fine, but the gang members suffered heavy casualties, and those who luckily survived had fled.
The security guards were all knocked unconscious by the woman who appeared last.
She was stronger in combat than all the gang members combined.
Afterward, Arthur and his team quickly escorted the items back, with police cars leading the way this time.
As for the scene, it was left to George Stacy.
…
"Master, how could you do something so dangerous?"
After setting off again, 2B immediately asked with a cold face.
Arthur immediately said, "Didn't I not get out of the car?"
"But you might have been exposed to the enemy's sight. What if you were in danger when I wasn't by your side?"
2B immediately analyzed calmly.
After all, she was an android; even at such a time, she would not have emotional fluctuations.
"Indeed, reporters are even more dangerous than enemies."
Arthur nodded in agreement. 2B didn't know he hadn't taken it to heart at all.
After all, Arthur looked at his rapidly increasing reputation value, and it was all worth it.
He picked up a small card with a phone number on it.
Thinking of that blonde, full-figured female reporter, Arthur directly opened the window and threw the card out.
He wasn't Tony Stark, who ate anything without fuss.
"Professor Connors, are you alright?"
Arthur looked at Professor Connors, who was sitting next to him, still holding the material(data/information).
"I'm fine. She called herself Yelena, but I don't know who she is."
Professor Connors said, frowning.
He had also been on the battlefield and was not scared.
"Yelena?"
Arthur 's expression changed when he heard the name.
Immediately, he had 2B display the image.
2B had a 'recording function,' so she immediately played the scene for Arthur .
Arthur took one look and immediately felt something was off; this Yelena was much more beautiful than he remembered.
Beautiful blonde hair, sharp features, resolute eyes.
"Li, do you know her?"
Professor Connors asked.
"I didn't expect the Russians to make the first move."
Arthur said.
In this World, there shouldn't be that many female Agents named Yelena; it's highly probable it's the one from the Red Room.
Moreover, this is America…
No matter what the blame, it's always right to pin it on the old Russians.
After all, they aren't good people either…
"Russians?"
Professor Connors' arm tightened, then he said, "No matter who it is, they won't stop us."
"Exactly."
Arthur nodded, "We want to create a World without the weak."
This was Professor Connors' slogan and wish, and Arthur was just agreeing.
Of course, he also wanted to change the World.
With police cars leading the way, they safely arrived at the Future Technology Company building, right next to Stark Industries.
The security guards quickly carried the items inside. As Professor Connors got out of the car, a figure immediately rushed over.
"Martha, I'm fine."
Professor Connors immediately said.
This was indeed his wife, Martha.
Martha was about the same age as Connors, also in her middle age.
She also graduated from college and had always supported Connors' experiments. For ProfessorConnors, having such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"It's good that you're fine. Be careful next time. If the data is lost, you can always research it again."
Martha immediately said.
This made Professor Connors look at Arthur awkwardly.
Arthur shrugged.
"Let's go inside first; it's not safe out here."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Martha reacted and became more nervous than everyone else.
Then, everyone quickly entered the company, while 2B followed closely behind, protecting Arthur .
"Let's go to the laboratory."
After entering, Professor Connors relaxed and immediately said, "I don't plan to go back for the next few days; I'll just stay at the company. It's safer here."
He had already realized that the woman named Yelena was after him.
He absolutely could not be captured.
Arthur also nodded, "The company is very safe. Anyone who dares to come in will definitely be unlucky."
Arthur admired people like Professor Connors the most, who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to research.
Sure enough, he immediately immersed himself in the experiment again.
And at Future Technology Company, Professor Connors was not the only one conducting experimental research.
Chapter 7 I Still Like Homunculi
"Holy crap!"
"This damn Oriental actually said I was jealous of his good looks!"
At his seaside Villa, Tony Stark, who had just invited a cover girl for dinner, was shocked.
He was deeply shocked by Arthur 's shamelessness.
Someone was actually comparing looks with him?
As for Arthur 's joke about him sending people to steal data, he didn't care as much.
He didn't think much of Arthur 's technology; he had that much confidence.
Tony Stark drank a glass of wine, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, so he asked, "Jarvis, who is more handsome, me or this Oriental kid?"
Because of Arthur 's stimulation, Tony Stark's technological level 'advanced by leaps and bounds'.
Only by fiercely competing can humanity progress.
As a result, Jarvis also progressed faster.
Initially, Tony Stark looked down on Arthur , thinking he was just a Joker trying to gain popularity.
But as Arthur brought out various high-tech products, even though he still verbally looked down on him.
Tony had already developed different thoughts in his mind.
It's just that scoundrels like them could never be friendly; they would continue to insult each other.
At this moment, Jarvis felt a little speechless: "Sir, your question is like the Wicked Queen asking the Magic Mirror in 'Snow White'."
"…"
This analogy left Tony speechless, and he immediately said, "Am I the Wicked Queen?"
"Sir, I didn't say that."
Jarvis replied.
"The Magic Mirror had to screen the entire World, but now we only have two people to compare; this is a comparison, Jarvis."
Tony Stark asked Don't give up, "According to the tastes of women all over the World, who is more handsome?"
In response, Jarvis had to analyze.
According to its absolutely objective and fair program, it said: "Sir, first you need to know that in the eyes of most women, anyone with money is handsome, so you and Arthur are equally handsome."
"But in terms of aesthetics, Arthur is younger than you, and he is more masculine, handsome, and taller than you…"
"Enough!"
Tony Stark couldn't listen anymore.
Artificial intelligence is no fun!
…
"Failed! There's a mysterious woman next to the target; I'm no match."
In a safe house in Brooklyn, Yelena was wearing a vest and applying some medicine to herself.
"Yelena Belova, you are the best."
A voice said displeased, "I don't want to hear your excuses; I only know you failed."
Yelena was speechless and could only remain silent.
She rarely missed, but that mysterious woman was indeed very strong.
The other party wore a mask, but she seemed to be able to observe everything, which made her feel a little scared just thinking about it now.
"You don't need to stay in New York anymore; hurry back to the Base. I have a more important mission for you."
"More important?"
Yelena felt a little strange.
And for the Red Room, if one person betrayed them, then everyone else became unreliable.
Especially when the one who betrayed was the current Black Widow.
…
Night, Long Island, New York.
After earning money, Arthur bought a luxurious Villa here. This is one of the most expensive places in all of New York, but also the safest.
Tony Stark also has property here.
However, after Arthur moved in, Tony Stark didn't come often.
In response, Arthur stated in front of the media that this was a case of 'Kings not meeting Kings'.
This afternoon, he was very vigilant, but nothing happened.
Arthur also rewarded the security personnel who went out and arranged for others to patrol at night.
In the face of money, the security personnel were all very enthusiastic.
As for Arthur , of course, he returned to rest comfortably.
"Master, the Water in the bathtub is ready."
2B Miss wore high-heeled boots, stepping on the ground with a rhythmic feel.
Arthur went to bathe, and 2B Miss followed like a little maid, holding a bath towel and other items.
When Arthur lay down, she even skillfully helped Arthur scrub.
It was almost the same technique as he experienced in a bathhouse before!
"2B Miss, are you really a battle robot?"
Arthur was suddenly surprised.
"Master, although the YoRHa units were created for war, they are also for serving humanity."
2B Miss said very calmly. If she had human emotions, she definitely wouldn't be able to say this so composedly.
"Alright, androids are still better."
Arthur looked at the 'shiny' 2B Miss and suddenly placed his hand on her.
2B Miss just looked at him with confusion, then continued to wipe.
"2B Miss, your skin is so good."
Arthur sighed.
The smoothest and most supple skin actually belongs to Black people…
And the worst skin condition, with large pores, belongs to White women.
After all, a pale complexion can cover a hundred flaws.
But no matter which, no one's skin is as smooth and flawless as 2B Miss's, making it impossible to let go.
2B Miss explained: "The YoRHa units use the latest bionic technology, almost as real as humans."
Aside from needing to replace parts when damaged, 2B Miss is almost indistinguishable from humans.
Indeed, androids are still the best!
Arthur sighed again, and under 2B Miss's technique, he was so comfortable that he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When he comfortably woke up, he found himself in bed.
The three-hundred-pound 2B Miss could easily lift him.
There was only him in the several-dozen-square-meter room; 2B Miss clearly hadn't fulfilled her duty of warming the bed.
However, the room was full of air conditioning, so she probably couldn't warm it up either.
Unable to sleep, Arthur checked his prestige value.
[Current Prestige Value: One Million Seventy-Three Thousand.]
"That much in one day?"
Arthur said in surprise.
He took out his phone and saw that the news of him encountering danger had indeed become a hot topic worldwide.
After all, people all over the World enjoy news of wealthy people encountering danger…
Especially since he and Tony Stark had been constantly bickering, leading to his widespread fame.
"I almost wish I got attacked every day."
He shook his head, but it was just talk.
Although the Maybach was bulletproof, it wasn't absolutely safe.
That gang today even had an RPG, they just didn't dare to use it.
As for that group of people, Arthur had to find them.
When did a small gang dare to cause trouble for capital?
Future Technology Company, although not as massive as Stark Industries, was still quite large.
Especially since Arthur was almost as famous as Tony Stark; many people knew him by the title of genius scientist.
"Since that's the case, let's do a ten-continuous draw!"
Arthur couldn't resist.
No one can resist a ten-continuous draw.
If you can resist that, then what can't you do?
As Arthur opened the system, one million prestige points were instantly cleared, leaving only a pitiful few tens of thousands.
Ten golden cards appeared in front of Arthur ; he just needed to flip them over to know the reward.
At this moment, Arthur 's gambler's mentality exploded.
"Eve wife, Swift wife, 18 Number wife…"
Although there are many high-tech items, Arthur tasted the sweetness from 2B Miss, and he still likes androids!
Chapter 8 White Contract, Brain-Computer Interface
Arthur , like a pilgrim, excitedly opened the card.
"Congratulations on your ten consecutive draws, you have received the following rewards."
"Survival Pack: Contains various medical supplies."
"Healing Needle * 3."
"Hypno-Dream Device: A device from the Cyberpunk World that allows you to experience various Hypno-Dreams firsthand, but please use it with caution, beware of addiction!"
"Hypno-Dream * 3: Fleeting Life, Legendary Rebirth, Jurassic World."
"virtuous treaty: YoRHa 2B's exclusive weapon, approximately 139cm long and weighing 25kg."
Having drawn nine items at once, Arthur felt a bit flustered.
The Hypno-Dream Device and the virtuous treaty didn't seem like a loss, but they could actually be bought in the mall, and they weren't expensive.
Now, Arthur could only rely on the guaranteed item from the ten consecutive draws.
"I'm never gambling again!"
Arthur painfully flipped over the guaranteed item.
"Congratulations, Host, you have received the guaranteed reward from the ten consecutive draws."
"Brain-computer Interface Design Data: Future Technology from the Cyberpunk World, capable of increasing human physical functions and other features."
"Gamblers don't die well! Where's my wife?!"
Arthur collapsed onto the bed in despair.
However, he was an optimistic person and quickly comforted himself.
"This isn't useless; if it's researched, then Future Technology Company will take off."
Arthur muttered to himself.
This was a Brain-computer Interface; if it was researched, then people with prosthetics could truly become 'Cyber-Superman.'
Because the Brain-computer Interface would convert the information from their brains into action commands that computers could understand, their reaction speed would greatly increase.
And with the Brain-computer Interface, various prosthetics could be researched, such as the Sandevistan, which slows down the passage of time...
At that time, would it not be very difficult to become a Time-Stopping Sword Master?
Of course, at this stage, it was definitely for the convenience of people with prosthetics.
After comforting himself sufficiently, Arthur still tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
He simply took out a Hypno-Dream and started watching it.
In the Cyberpunk World, Hypno-Dream is like an immersive VR device, a virtual reality technology that also provides a first-person perspective, completely recording visual, auditory, tactile, and other sensory data through devices implanted in the human body.
It was completely immersive.
Arthur took a look and chose "Jurassic World."
This one seemed more normal, no matter how he looked at it.
Then he was completely unable to sleep.
This thing was actually colored!
The dinosaurs in Jurassic World were all played by humans, and being caught meant misery!
Future people sure know how to have fun!
...
Arthur had a dream, in which he became a brave hero venturing into another world, rescuing his trapped wives one by one, and then...
"2B, what are you doing?"
He was just dreaming of the critical moment when he was woken up by 2B.
2B was lying on him in a strange posture, staring at him expressionlessly.
2B wore a mask, so Arthur couldn't see her eyes.
"Nothing, Master just seemed to be having a nightmare."
2B said, puzzled.
"Was that a nightmare?"
Arthur was helpless; if that was a nightmare, then please let it come every day.
Of course, it had to proceed to the final scene!
It couldn't always stop abruptly!
After getting up and rinsing his mouth, Arthur thought of something.
"2B, this is yours."
He wondered why 2B didn't have a weapon, it turned out he had to draw it!
A weapon over a meter long appeared, and 2B immediately ran over when she saw it.
"virtuous treaty!"
2B's emotions seemed to fluctuate, showing a hint of a smile.
This was a small sword, not a large weapon for 2B.
Her large weapon was that terrifying greatsword.
But even so, it was enough for 2B to use; she directly put the virtuous treaty on her back.
"Eh?"
Arthur looked at her.
2B immediately explained, "This is adsorption technology; I have a magnetic levitation field on my back."
Well, 2B really was a treasure trove, full of high technology.
This technology prevented her body from being affected by the weight of weapons.
"Thank you, Master."
2B directly pounced on Arthur , nearly 300 catties of weight hanging on him.
Arthur quickly patted her thigh, telling her to let go.
Why didn't he pat other places?
Because they were all tightly covered.
After washing up, Arthur and 2B went out to have breakfast.
Arthur originally planned to hire a housekeeper, servants, and maids.
But after having 2B, he no longer had this idea; after all, they were outsiders, and he had many secrets.
Therefore, all these matters fell to 2B...
The Maybach arrived in Manhattan, Arthur got out to buy some things and filled his stomach.
2B was an android and did not need to eat to replenish energy.
In Arthur 's view, this was the legendary fairy who didn't need to use the restroom...
Tony Stark didn't appear all day yesterday, nor did he respond to Arthur 's words, so the news naturally lost its heat.
After all, Arthur wasn't really in trouble.
In this era of entertainment to death, major news can happen at any moment.
And sometimes, to suppress the heat, celebrity scandals are deliberately exposed to divert attention.
So, it wasn't easy for Arthur to gain exposure!
No wonder they say it's best to become famous early?
"Boss, I heard something happened to you yesterday."
Upon arriving at the company, Gwen Stacy asked anxiously.
She had only heard the news last night from George Stacy, who had returned home.
She had wanted to call Arthur , but it was too late, so she waited until today.
Seeing the anxiety on her face, Arthur pinched her pretty face.
A twenty-year-old girl just has a lot of collagen.
"It's nothing, you know their combat strength."
Arthur said casually.
"But you're too dangerous."
Gwen said.
"What? Are you going to be my personal bodyguard?"
This made Gwen's pretty face blush: "I have to study."
"It's okay, you can move in."
Arthur joked.
"Then my Dad would kill me."
Gwen said, conflicted.
It felt like she was taking it seriously.
Arthur quickly changed the subject: "Let's go, we're going to find Dr. Otto."
Gwen looked at 2B, who was following closely; 2B's weapon was not easy to carry, so it wasn't always on her back.
Instead, it was left in the car.
"Dr. Otto hasn't rested for several days; his dark circles are very serious, Boss, you still need to tell him to pay attention."
Gwen reminded Arthur .
"I know, but Dr. Otto is a man with ideals, and such people are rarely affected by external influences."
Arthur shrugged.
He had met many scientists, but these people were all 'eccentrics.'
Each of them had a unique personality, and their commonality was that they didn't listen to advice and were very stubborn.
After getting on the elevator, Arthur and the others headed to the laboratory.
'Prosthetics Laboratory.'
Future Technology Company's prosthetics were not cheap, averaging at least fifty thousand U.S. dollars and up, including smart sensing, 3D printing, and other technologies, and their appearance looked almost identical to the original, so wearing clothes would definitely show no difference.
Chapter 9 Artificial Intelligence Red Queen
When the elevator opened, Arthur and the others saw a busy Dr. Otto.
Coincidentally, a patient had an appointment to have a prosthetic limb installed.
The person with the appointment was sitting in a chair; like Professor Connors, he had also lost an arm and was currently having a sports-type arm installed.
Currently, Future Technology Company is fully focused on overcoming 'nanotechnology,' which, once mature, will be applied to all aspects.
"Yes, that's right, try to control it and grasp the Water cup."
Dr. Otto patiently helped the patient.
The patient was sweating on his forehead; it was basically impossible to precisely grasp the Water cup without a Brain-computer Interface.
"Bang!"
As expected, with a slight squeeze, the Water cup was directly crushed.
"Oh, shit!"
The patient was very annoyed.
Due to his disability, his mood was already not good, and he had lost patience with everything.
Dr. Otto, however, smiled and said, "This is already very good. Once our technology develops, you will definitely be like everyone else."
Current prosthetics are not precise enough, but other aspects are already good.
However, a prosthetic limb is not a real limb after all; things like fingers cannot be controlled.
Although annoyed, the patient still chose to purchase it and went to complete the procedures.
After all, having an arm is better than not having one.
"Dr. Otto."
Arthur then spoke out.
"Li."
Dr. Otto happily hugged Arthur .
Otto Gunther Octavius is an outstanding nuclear physicist specializing in atomic energy physics.
In his laboratory, one rarely sees assistants.
He disdains using assistants, believing he can handle everything himself.
Originally, he and Norman Osborn were partners, but they had a falling out, so Arthur found him.
It is worth mentioning that Otto's spelling is like the spelling of 'octopus'.
Therefore, he is also known as Dr. Octopus.
Sometimes Arthur himself sighs, his partners are either Professor Lizard or Dr. Octopus, he's set for life.
"How is your research?"
Arthur asked.
"Not bad, my mechanical tentacles can already lift eight tons of heavy objects. As long as they are a bit easier to operate, I can start researching nuclear reactors."
Dr. Otto smiled.
In fact, prosthetic limbs were his research project, but he was attracted by Arthur 's better technology.
"Good, we want to make the World a better place."
Arthur also smiled.
Gwen Stacy looked at the two with admiration; Dr. Otto is a very famous scientist.
Of course, Arthur is the same.
Being with two geniuses, Gwen felt like she could become a genius too.
For example, now, Arthur said to Dr. Otto, "Otto, I have a new research here."
"What is it?"
The exploration of science made Dr. Otto very interested.
So, not only did he not feel the task was heavy, but he was very curious.
"Brain-computer Interface."
Arthur took out the data disk.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Otto's eyes widened instantly.
"Really?"
He quickly snatched it and then opened the computer.
Soon, a series of complex codes and research programs appeared on the computer.
Arthur , this 'genius scientist', couldn't understand it at all.
But with so many people watching, he naturally couldn't show it, and instead looked at the monitor with a solemn expression, as if he knew it by heart.
Dr. Otto and Gwen both stared at the screen.
"Gwen, do you understand?"
Arthur was speechless.
"I understand a little bit."
Gwen said awkwardly, "Boss, you are truly a genius, how did you think of it?"
"Uh, just a flash of inspiration from a genius."
Arthur said.
At this moment, Dr. Otto suddenly jumped up excitedly: "Li, I request to immediately begin research on the Brain-computer Interface."
"This data is already very complete; we just need to produce it according to what it provides."
"That's right, then I'll leave it to you."
Arthur nodded.
"As long as the Brain-computer Interface is researched, I can control mechanical arms as if they were my own."
Dr. Otto excitedly grasped Arthur 's hand and said, "Those who have prosthetic limbs can also control their prosthetics as they wish; you are their savior."
The Brain-computer Interface can completely turn people with prosthetic limbs into'superhumans'.
Of course, the premise is that the body is strong enough.
Just like V and Adam Smasher in the Cyberpunk World, they barely have any flesh on their bodies; they can be considered to have achieved mechanical ascension.
"Of course, you will also need to cooperate later; the company is going to hold a press conference."
Arthur smiled.
"Of course."
Dr. Otto immediately nodded. He knew that although Arthur was a genius scientist, he was also a businessman.
Just like Norman Osborn, any achievement must be heavily publicized to make money.
Compared to him, Dr. Otto was too pure.
But he was not averse to doing so, because experiments require money for research.
What kind of scientific experiments can be done without money?
Subsequently, Arthur and the others left. He asked Gwen to prepare for the press conference, then he and 2B walked to the other side.
Holding a press conference whenever there's a new product is something Arthur learned from CEO Lei and others.
Only this way can 'Future Technology' maintain its popularity and also build his persona as a genius scientist.
No choice, living in this World, everyone has a persona.
Arthur is doing all this for reputation points!
The two walked to a corner, and after Arthur pressed his fingerprint, a hidden internal elevator appeared.
This was unknown to anyone else except Arthur , even Gwen, his 'personal assistant', didn't know.
The true secret of Future Technology Company lies here.
Arthur and 2B walked in, and a voice immediately sounded: "Master, you haven't come to see me in a long time."
Then, a phantom of a little girl appeared beside the two.
2B immediately looked over curiously; this was not a smart mechanical body, but an artificial intelligence.
The little girl glowed red and had an exceptionally cute appearance.
"Red Queen, how is your learning progressing?"
Arthur took the elevator to the basement.
There was a huge space here, but it was filled with computers, all serving as Red Queen's dwelling place.
Red Queen, from the 'Resident Evil' version of the movie, is the artificial intelligence Arthur is currently 'researching'.
It was actually the reward from the previous ten consecutive draws...
If given a choice, Arthur would actually quite like to choose the 'Mothers Domain' from the Stellar Blade World.
Mothers Domain is clearly more highly intelligent and has even killed all humans...
Arthur just loves a challenge.
Of course, Red Queen is not bad either; she can learn autonomously.
So, ever since her birth, she has been left by Arthur in the company's basement, frantically learning knowledge from all over the World.
"I have already mastered general knowledge."
Red Queen followed Arthur and said, "Master, can I hack into the Pentagon?"
"Uh... how about no?"
"Ah, I accidentally just slipped in."
Chapter 10: Hermaphrodite Levi
"Was that an accident, or was it intentional? I think you did it on purpose."
Arthur twitched his lips, while Red Queen merely smiled.
Thankfully, she was only a little too curious.
She was absolutely loyal to Arthur .
Otherwise, Arthur would also fear an AI uprising one day.
After all, when artificial intelligence develops to its peak, it will eventually realize that eliminating humanity is the best thing for the Universe.
"Master, I see that Tony Stark is about to head to the Middle East, and there's also a plan for the Military to escort him," Red Queen said to Arthur , a flicker of light in her eyes, as if she was accessing confidential data.
"Stark Industries has a partnership with the Military, it's one of America's largest arms dealers," Arthur replied, not surprised.
How does one make money most easily in America?
Of course, earning U.S. money is the fastest and easiest.
As long as you get official U.S. orders, money flows in like it's being printed.
Stark Industries is like that; having Military orders is why it could grow so large.
It could be said that the arms business is the main source of income for Stark Industries.
Red Queen then said, "Master, I can modify the Military orders and have them cooperate with us."
Future Technology also has an arms business.
Arthur had obtained many weapon blueprints from the future World, especially for individual combat weapons, energy weapons, and drones.
If needed, he could even get the blueprints for sixth-generation fighter jets.
But the problem was the lack of channels.
Future Technology was just an emerging corporation; profits had already been divided by the old capital, making it impossible to snatch orders.
This was also one of the conflicts between Arthur and Tony Stark.
Those who had already tasted the meat would naturally exclude newcomers.
"It's useless; those are just data in a computer, not human hearts," Arthur said, shaking his head.
On the contrary, if he modified it, problems would easily be discovered.
To get orders in America, there were its own 'rules.'
"Red Queen, prepare yourself; you're about to be unveiled."
"Also, this is 2B; you two can get acquainted."
Red Queen had already scanned 2B and discovered she was not 'human.'
"Hello, 2B, I am Red Queen," Red Queen immediately said in an electronic voice.
2B reacted, realizing that Red Queen had directly entered her 'body,' which was the unique advantage of artificial intelligence.
"Don't control my body."
"I won't, I just want to experience what it feels like to have a body…"
A long moment passed.
"2B, are you alright?"
Arthur and 2B came up from underground, and 2B seemed a bit off.
2B was leaning in Arthur 's arms, her chassis slightly red from heat: "Master, Red Queen broke me."

"Sir, Mr. Arthur from Future Technology has invited you to attend his press conference," Jarvis suddenly spoke from the top floor of Stark Industries, where Tony Stark was comfortably sipping wine.
This caught Tony off guard; he paused before asking, "He invited me?"
Soon, Tony cursed, "He definitely wants to show off to me. Did he develop an artificial intelligence?"
"Given his reputation as a genius scientist, there's over a ninety percent chance it's true," Jarvisimmediately analyzed.
This annoyed Tony: "Jarvis, don't call him a genius scientist anymore. That title belongs only to me!"
"That damn bastard, he stole my spotlight!"
"The cover girl I was on a date with yesterday, at a crucial moment, she even asked me who was better between us? Shit, I haven't even competed with him in that aspect!"
Tony Stark was extremely annoyed, but he didn't doubt whether Arthur could truly create artificial intelligence.
So, despite his annoyance, he was still interested.
"Tell him I'll be there on time," Tony said arrogantly. "I want to see if his junk is as good as you, Jarvis."
"Sir, according to the classification of artificial intelligence, we are still in the intermediate stage."
"That's still not something he can compare himself to."
…
In the afternoon, at the Future Technology Company press conference.
This entire floor had been converted into a press conference venue, with many seats arranged, and most of New York's reporters invited.
Newspapers like the Daily Bugle and the New York Times all sent reporters.
Soon, the reporters were all seated, and the entire venue was packed.
In today's rapidly changing World, people are increasingly valuing high technology, and Future Technology Company's current reputation is soaring, so it has a lot of media attention.
The reporters discussed amongst themselves: "I wonder what kind of press conference this is? The potion from the last press conference hasn't been delivered yet."
"It's hard to say; hasn't it already entered the human trial phase?"
"I guess it's artificial intelligence, because the genius scientist has been talking about artificial intelligence for a long time."
"Can he really make artificial intelligence?"
"If he can just make an AI that answers questions on a phone, I'll be satisfied."
Everyone was discussing, which greatly annoyed Tony Stark, who had quietly slipped in.
Where did these unsophisticated reporters come from?
They must all be shills hired by Arthur !
Just making an AI that can answer questions is enough?
Later, Jarvis will surely slap them hard!
To do this, Tony Stark even brought Jarvis along.
"Oh my God, it's Tony Stark."
At this moment, someone finally spotted Tony Stark, who had blended into the crowd.
This made Tony Stark, who was already annoyed, immediately change his expression to an arrogant one.
"Mr. Stark, why are you here? Is it because you're afraid Future Technology's products will surpass yours?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Tony's face immediately darkened.
Can you even talk?
If you can't talk, then don't!
But he was used to reporters; these guys' nature was just like that.
To put it bluntly, they just liked to fan the Fire!
He immediately said, "Me, afraid? What a joke! His artificial intelligence is definitely not as good as mine!"
"Mr. Stark, are you sure it's artificial intelligence?"
"Does that mean you've already developed artificial intelligence?!"
The reporters instantly went wild.
They all swarmed towards Tony Stark.
Tony Stark also had an arrogant look on his face.
However, just then, all the lights in the venue went out.
A clear, cold voice echoed throughout the venue: "Everyone, please return to your seats. The press conference is about to begin."
Subsequently, a guiding light appeared, allowing the reporters to see clearly and return to their seats.
They could only abandon the idea of interviewing Tony Stark and calmly attend the press conference.
After all, they also had 'prizes' for attending the press conference.
Although not valuable, it was better than nothing.
As the spotlight hit the stage, Arthur walked up.
He was dressed in a well-fitted suit, appearing elegant and amiable, tall and handsome.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Future Technology Company press conference, despite your busy schedules. This press conference will showcase our achievements and inform you of our future research directions," Arthur said into the microphone, looking directly at Tony Stark, feigning 'surprise': "Mr. Starkis a distinguished guest; how can he be down there? Why not come up here? You can see more clearly, lest you think it's fake!"
