“Ready?”

Stareye was curious.

“Yes.”

I lay in my chair and said, “Did you forget? Destiny’s helmets have neural connectors and can help to balance information. As long as we remove the controls things will be fine!”

“Understood.”

Stareye said, “Will you start to break down the system and separate the parts?”

“En, begin!”

……

Instantly, Stareye took Illusionary Moon’s helmet code and started to separate the system. This was a long process and took over 2 hours. It was already 9 pm at night and I was in a tough situation.

Once the system was designed, how should I group its functions? I couldn’t let Lin Xi wear the game helmet or wear headphones all day long. She would look like a fool. I could even imagine her awkward expression.

Thinking about it, I asked, “Stareye once the system is designed, how large will it be?”

“If we use the top equipment then it will be the size of a rice grain.” It calculated the size and it was indeed the size of a rice grain.

“If that is the case…”

My heart lit up and I started to search for hairclips. I screenshotted many and sent to Lin Xi.

It was already 10pm and after Lin Xi got my message, she said, “Yi, why did you suddenly send so many hairclips to me?”

“Cough cough…”

I felt awkward and said, “Lin Xi, select the one you like.”

“Ah?”

She was stunned, “But I don’t like hairclips… I have never used one…”

“If, I am saying if…”

I thought about it, “If you need one and might have to wear one for the rest of your life… Or if I want to see you wear one, which will you choose?”

“If that is the case… Let me see…”

A minute later, she screenshotted one of them and smiled, “This looks decent.”

“En, okay–”

“Okay–”

……

I looked at Stareye, “What are you looking at, I need this hairclip, we can start making it in the lab.”

“Yes, getting details.”

The 3D replica of the hairclip appeared in the hologram. After which, it started to make it. This lab was connected to an AI factory, it could even create half-complete game helmets just that the price would be high.

Not long later, an exquisite hairclip appeared in front of me. After which, what we needed to do was to put in the code.

……

Morning.

“Great.”

I looked at the code run and said, “Stareye, we can start to make the product. Before Lin Xi uses it, I would like to test it.”

“Yes!”

After an hour, not long later a pair of transparent boots appeared ahead. It was the tool that we designed and it was really light. It was just a few ounces heavy. On the other side, Stareye started to input the balance control system into the hairpin. Time to test it out, I was being the guinea pig for Lin Xi.

I took off my socks and then wore the product. The nano technology stretched down and changed shape. It stuck to my legs. Once it started to run, the soft boots became firm and started to be able to handle my weight.

I stood up and a few steps later, I felt a little weird.

“Pathfinder, you didn’t wear the hairclip.” Stareye said.

“I really have to?”

My mouth twitched but I still picked it up and placed it on my short hair. When it stuck to my skin, the system started to run and started to connect with my mind. When I was relaxing my heels and soles, the product still helped me to balance and stand.

A few steps later, I started to speed up. The metal was firm but it didn’t give off a loud sound when it touched the ground. It was perfect.”

“Nearly there.”

After sitting down, I touched this pair of light boots. After using this special material, I didn’t feel uncomfortable and it was like wearing stockings that could support my weight. The entire product was very airy and if I didn’t say it, no one would believe that this pair of boots was worth so much.

“Okay.”

I took it off and placed it on the table, “Stareye, calculate the safety and the functions of the product, safety first do you understand?”

“Understood.”

Stareye said, “Pathfinder, it will take a long time, I suggest you rest. The system has shown that your mental state is decreasing.”

“Understood.”

I nodded, “I am going to sleep, wake me up at 8.”

“Yes.”

……

I took a bath and then slept on the bed in the lab. Maybe because I was really tired, I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.

In my sleep, a bell woke me up. The beautiful worker hologram of Stareye smiled, “Pathfinder it is 8, please wake up!”

“Understood, switch off the alarm.”

“Yes!”

I woke up and washed up. I came to the table and asked, “How is the evaluation?”

“All the functions are great, safety is full marks.”

“Very good!”

I smiled and as I expected, most of the code of the exoskeleton was well studied, especially balance control. I was confident that such designs were just too simple for me.

I picked up the boots and hairclip and then asked, ‘How long can the power source last for?”

“One week consecutive use.”

Stareye said, “Then you need to charge it but the charging system is not built yet.”

“Make one and then send it over to me.”

“Yes.”

……

I came outside and I couldn’t suppress my feeling anymore. When I sat on the car, I sent Lin Xi a message, ‘Lin Xi are you sleeping?”

“I just woke up, why are you back yet?”

“I am coming back soon, let’s eat breakfast, I got a surprise for you!”

“En, I shall let Shen Mingxuan buy breakfast.”

“Okay.”

Not long later, we arrived at With You’s studio. Shen Mingxuan was bringing breakfast up. I brought the box with the boots up and she glanced at me, “Long time no see, where did you go?”

“To prepare a gift for Lin Xi.”

“Oh?”

She stared and smiled, “So mysterious…”

2nd floor, Lin Xi sat on the sofa and Gu Ruyi was playing on her phone beside her. When they saw me, Gu Ruyi stood up and Lin Xi sat up straight, “You are back?”

“En!”

I walked forwards and opened the box. I took out the boots and said, “En, I spent 2 days on this. Lin Xi take off your socks and try it.”

“Oh?”

She was slightly confused.

Lu Li what is this?” Gu Ruyi asked.

“An exoskeleton.”

I smiled, “It can let Lin Xi stand and walk on her own.”

“”Real… REally?”

Lin Xi’s body shook and she looked at me in disbelief.

“You will know when you try.”

I smiled and said, “Come, wear it and then wear this hairclip.”

“Hairclip?”

Shen Mingxuan was stunned, “This… Is it useful?”

“I will explain it later, moreover with your intelligence, you might not know…”

“Damn!”

She sat aside in rage and then helped Lin Xi wear the boots. Not long later, the boots were on Lin Xi’s legs. She took the hairclip and then moved her hair to the side before clipping it. She instantly became a well behaved girl and she looked more gentle and demure.

“Okay.”

I walked forwards and carried her up. I held her wrist and said, “Stand up and try yourself. Slowly adapt to it.”

“En.”

Lin Xi held my hand and stood up slowly, her body shook. Maybe because she hadn’t stood for a long time, a few seconds later she stabilised herself. She was grateful and held my hand. Her whole body was shaking, she hadn’t stood up on her own for such a long time.

Shen Mingxuan opened her mouth wide in shock.

Gu Ruyi’s eyes shone.

I witnessed everything and my heart was filled with emotions and joy. I looked at lin Xi and smiled, “Calm down, try to walk a few steps.”

“En…”

She took her first step and her legs rustled. Her body shook but she stood still. She then took a second step carefully. She looked at me and I took a step back, “Come, come to me.”

“En…”

When she walked in front of me, her eyes were covered in a layer of water, teardrops rolled down her cheeks.
