Chapter 3

"Surprised, right?" Su Xiaocai asked him to sit down, helped him put on the new robotic arm, and said with a smile: "Dad, I spent a long time making this arm, and its conductivity is stronger than any other robotic arm on the market. The alloy on the surface is also made by me, using raw materials found on this planet. So don't tell anyone else for now."

It is a crime to possess a treasure. If people knew that this planet has rare resources, it would inevitably be destroyed, and Father Su might also be in danger.

The installation is simple, and Father Su won’t have to bother to do it alone.

With Su Xiaocai's help, things will be faster.

After the change, Father Su tried to close his fingers to adapt to the new arm.

It went very smoothly, and he could actually feel the force and the squeezing sensation from the touch. It was amazing, as if he had grown a new arm.

"I have programmed it to feel mildly painful. If there is any damage inside, you may feel pain. Remember to take it apart and check it."

Old Man Su didn't know what to say. Thanks? Yes, he was very grateful for her appearance, which made him full of energy and no longer angry and lifeless.

"If it breaks, there's a replacement in the cabinet." Su Xiaocai was very grateful to Old Man Su for adopting her over the years. Although she had her reasons for being stubborn, it was undeniable that Old Man Su gave her all the treatment a daughter could have.

She had grown up and was going to school. She felt reluctant to leave him and wanted to give him a small gift in return.

Old Man Su has always wanted to regain the flexibility of his arms so that he could take on difficult maintenance projects. Instead of going back to be a maintenance worker, he wanted to stay on his own planet, have some fun, and study new maintenance techniques.

This is the only hobby he has; he doesn't even like fishing.

Modern medicine has limb cloning and transplantation technology, but this technology is not mature yet, the arms have a short lifespan, and are expensive.

Su Xiaocai thought it would be better to customize a multifunctional robotic arm for him.

As expected, Father Su was very fond of Su Xiaocai and lamented that Su Xiaocai was wasting her talent. She could be a mecha engineer or a repairman, or she could develop mechas.

Su Xiaocai doesn't want to develop anything. Thinking about it day and night and studying it every day will make him bald.

It’s pretty good now. I can play when I want to play, farm when I want to farm, and I can also make some small things to pass the time. My life is peaceful and quiet.

Old Man Su's robotic arm is not the most advanced technology. The most advanced limb reconstruction technology in his previous life used living memory metal. After the program was implanted, except for the color, it can be transformed into the appearance of a normal human limb.

“Dad, like it or not, I’ve already told you that I’m your little cotton-padded jacket.” Su Xiaocai stood on a stool and helped Old Man Su massage his shoulders to relax his muscles. It was the first time for him to use a robotic arm with this technology, so his shoulder muscles would move more and cramp easily.

Old Man Su couldn't suppress the smile, he was happy that his daughter had grown up and was filial and smart.

He said awkwardly: "Do I have to wear long sleeves when I go out from now on?"

Su Xiaocai said tactfully: "It's okay not to wear long sleeves, you may need some acting skills."

Father Su didn't bother to argue with her and told her the truth, "Didn't you understand what I meant? Apply for a patent as soon as possible. I want to show off to my old friends."

Su Xiaocai: “…”

Early in August, on a Friday morning, Father Su drove a spaceship to take Su Xiaocai to the next large star area, where there were large space shuttles to the capital star.

After getting on the shuttle boat, Su Xiaocai waved goodbye. After she turned around, Old Man Su wiped his eyes. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the little girl who had clung to him so much was now a beautiful young lady.

Fortunately, I couldn't resist the urge to adopt her.

As I stroke my metal right hand, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, the shuttle ship had already set off. Su Xiaocai looked at the magnificent starry sky outside the window with a relaxed attitude.

She had just sat down in her seat when Old Man Su called.

"Hello, Dad, is there something wrong?" "I knew that your kindness to me comes at a price, little girl, where is Chibi Maruko-chan?" When Dad Su returned home and received enthusiastic service from the robot butler, he noticed something fishy.

Sure enough, Chibi Maruko was replaced.

"Hello, hello, hello, I can't hear you clearly. The signal is bad. The shuttle is about to leave. Let's talk after I get there. Bye." Su Xiaocai hung up the phone immediately.

The little ball stuffed in the space button is dormant, and she doesn't want to keep the little ball for Father Su.

Chibi Maruko is used to indulging people, and Old Man Su never eats on time. Now the robot butler at home is more suitable for him.

Can urge him to eat and sleep.

Father Su: Thank you so much.

Chibi Maruko's cooking skills are unmatched, at least on the Su planet. Old Man Su was used to eating Chibi Maruko's meals, so he suddenly changed his housekeeper.

The daughter who betrayed her father, Old Man Su muttered to the smart watch after hanging up the phone: "When you come back, I will prepare seven-color canes, and give you two whips of each color." Let's teach her a lesson.

Su Xiaocai pressed the power off button and felt quiet.

Don’t think that Su Xiaocai is socially anxious just because she stays at home on the Su’s planet and never comes out. Everything has its limits. She is very socially capable and can chat with anyone.

Sitting on her right was a young man, and on her left was a middle-aged woman.

Less than two minutes after the boat started moving, she took the initiative to break the silence and started chatting animatedly with people on both sides.

The middle-aged woman, who had originally shown little interest in chatting, immediately changed her attitude when she learned that the young man and Su Xiaocai were freshmen at the Military Training University.

The three of them spoke even more excitedly.

Young man Liu Xun: "There is a mecha female star in the capital star. It was broadcast on TV. It is said that she created a new mecha action move, the circular burst in the air. Is it true? I watched the video and thought it was super amazing, even a little fake."

The middle-aged woman is from the capital and came here for tourism. She nodded and said, "It's true. My daughter mentions her every day and thinks of her as a goddess."

What?
Seeing Su Xiaocai looking confused, Liu Xun played the video circulating on the Internet on his mobile phone and showed it to her.

In the blue sky, a latest model of mecha flickered in the air, sometimes far away, sometimes near, like a busy bee.

The mecha shot at the small targets flying in the air. After ten consecutive shots, all five small targets fell.

Because the overall route of the mecha is an arc, it is called aerial circular burst shooting.

Su Xiaocai asked: "Is this driver a little girl?"

"Yeah, she's only seventeen years old." Liu Xun envied, "I'm also from the mecha department, the same age, I don't know when I can master her skills."

At the age of seventeen, it is indeed remarkable that he can show off his skills to this extent, but to practice this technique... well, young people like to be so flashy.

There is no need to learn it in actual combat.

Liu Xun enthusiastically showed her other videos, all of which were battle videos that the girl had posted online.

Su Xiaocai felt inexplicably resistant and had a bad impression of this seventeen-year-old named Xue Huiyi.

In the video, the battle between the two sides was fierce, but it gave her a sense of emptiness.
