Roaming through the world of Doraemon

Doraemon stuffed a matcha-flavored dorayaki into his mouth, then wiped his suction cup hands, smacked his lips, and said awkwardly.

In the 22nd century, every robot model that needs to use gadgets must obtain a gadget usage license. Without this license, no store will sell you gadgets, except for some underground black markets. Of course, how could there be a black market at the patrol team's headquarters at this time? Suneo's idea is simply wishful thinking; it's completely impossible.

Doraemon was born in a factory, then went to a robotics school to study, and was finally selected by Sewashi. He studied at the robotics school for three years, and obtaining this license took up his entire robotics school career; otherwise, he would have had a hard time graduating.

Because in the future, the use and release of some gadgets involve many things. Take the "what if" phone booth, for example. It's practically a weapon of causality. If its use is unrestricted, human civilization will be destroyed. Take Nobita's adventure in the Demon World, for instance. If he hadn't been strong enough, the monsters created in the "what if" phone booth could have traveled back in time through the time tunnel to hunt down Nobita and Doraemon. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

This license is meant to restrict and regulate the use of gadgets. Of course, the Earth-destroying bombs and atomic guns in Doraemon's pocket are things that he actually bought from the black market. They're cheap and useful, but it's just that they haven't been put to use yet.

"Well, I thought I could buy some gadgets to take back. What a disappointment!" Suneo pouted, looking displeased. He had thought he could use his savings to bring back a bunch of useful gadgets to the 20th century.

"Although you can't buy the props here, you can still experience it. Later, I'll take you to another place, and then you'll see that besides the Time Management Bureau, there are other fun things here." Natalie wiped the chocolate residue from her lips with the handkerchief provided by the restaurant, then thought about the upcoming itinerary and said with a smile.

"Can I try it? That would be great!" Fat Tiger's eyes lit up as he ate the pork chop in his bowl. If it weren't for the cost, he would have ordered another one. However, seeing that no one else was asking for it, he felt embarrassed to ask for anything special and had to hold back, hoping that the shopping street would bring him some surprises.

"Alright, I've finished here. Once you've all finished eating, we can head to the next attraction." Natalie finished her meal and sat down, quite satisfied with the delicious food. Seeing that the others at the table had also mostly finished eating, she told them where they were going next.

After finishing their meal, everyone followed Natalie into the shopping street. Just as he had said, almost every gadget Nobita had ever seen could be bought here. However, the gadgets here were on a completely different level compared to those outside. They were either high-end versions or custom-made items, making Doraemon feel a pang of heartache.

However, these high-end versions are worthy of their high price. Take the reflective cloak I used before, for example. This cloak can not only reflect all rays of attack, but the high-end version can also become a battle suit, increasing physical protection. It's like a humanoid walking superhero.

Sure enough, the department stores outside only sell mainland goods or downgraded versions. This place is the real treasure. Nobita picked up the props he saw and went to the system at the front desk to pay. If he didn't buy these high-end props now, he didn't know if he would ever come across them again. Of course, he had to take as many as possible!

After a series of actions, hundreds of millions of yen from Nobita's savings account flowed into the Time Management Bureau's account. Suneo was speechless at this incredibly extravagant move, exclaiming inwardly, "Has Nobita's family become so wealthy now? They can just take out hundreds of millions of yen like that!"

What Suneo didn't realize was that these things were no different from a bunch of numbers to Nobita. As long as he wanted money, there were countless ways to earn it. But if these gadgets didn't cause the destruction of the Earth, then he would have nowhere to cry.

So now, as long as it can be solved with money, Da Xiong doesn't care at all. Even if he has to give up all his savings, he feels it's worth it.

Nobita's emptying of the gadget shops didn't end until the third shop. Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket now contained hundreds more high-end gadgets, which he could probably show off to his classmates.

Natalie had initially thought that Nobita and his friends' financial situation was such that buying one or two gadgets would be a big deal, but she never expected Nobita to pull off this "moving the store" stunt. Her expression immediately became complicated because the current situation was different from the Nobita she knew. Given the Nobita family's current circumstances, Nobita's spending power shouldn't be this extravagant. Thinking of this, she decided to report the situation when she took Nobita and his friends to another place later.

Because in their planned future, every step Nobita takes has a crucial node. If any node goes wrong, the entire future timeline will be disrupted, resulting in the creation of countless different timelines.

Although their Time Management Bureau is at the center of the node and will not change due to the changes of (Wang's Zhao) as a node, so they can correct any process that does not conform to the future development, given Nobita's importance, one wrong step could lead to a series of wrong steps.

Originally, the higher-ups had arranged for them to bring Da Xiong here to replenish their equipment in case their combat strength was insufficient in the future. Who knew that Da Xiong would come and take everything away? How could this not make them feel nervous about the known future?

With this in mind, Natalie quickly led them to a place similar to Central Park and introduced them to the park's name.

"This park is called Civilization Park, and in the center of this park lies the cornerstone of our future civilization's development. Therefore, we have firmly placed this cornerstone in the most important place of the Time Administration Bureau."

Natalie waved to Nobita and the others, introducing the park to them. But when they looked, apart from an oval-shaped pavilion, there were no other recreational facilities. Could it be that they had taken all of these things underground?

With this question in mind, Nobita and Doraemon's friends were led to the pavilion. As soon as they entered the pavilion, protective shields rose up around it, and then the core of the shields began to descend rapidly.

Sure enough, they really did put this so-called cornerstone of civilization underground. The people of the future really know how to think. Leaving such a large open space and then putting a pavilion here, are they trying to fool idiots or are they afraid that others won't know there's something fishy going on here? It seems that the Time Management Bureau has become arrogant after reaching a certain level of power.

Standing in this unknown spatial tunnel, feeling the downward trend, Da Xiong used his mental power to investigate. The current speed of spatial movement was probably at the level of supersonic speed. He wondered where they had taken him and his group with this tunnel, and whether they had even used such a rapid method.

However, no matter where it is, Nobita is confident that he can escape safely. Of course, this is something Nobita can only say with his current strength. Strength makes people arrogant, as is the Time Management Bureau, and so is Nobita.

Chapter Three: The Secret Gadget Museum

The supersonic tunnel in Civilization Park descended to the ground at an extremely high speed. Da Xiong sensed the relatively enclosed space outside and realized that although they seemed to be traveling at an extremely high speed, the space distortion technology was actually what could change the space in the end. Otherwise, they would not have ended up in an area with islands and oceans.

Indeed, Nobita and his friends were taken by Natalie to an island. On this island, a sizable building stood in front of Nobita. The architecture here was different from the one he had seen at the Time Administration Bureau. This building was magnificent and castle-like, and its exterior exuded a historical atmosphere.

"Alright, we've arrived. This is your group's last destination, the Secret Gadget Museum. It's said that all the gadgets that humans can currently control can be found in this museum. And here, you'll also find the original Anywhere Door created by Dr. Halderman, who made his fortune through secret gadgets. You can look around here to your heart's content. If you have any questions, I'll arrange for a guide to meet with you later!"

As Natalie spoke, she pulled a golden badge from her pocket and said that the guests had arrived and that they should hurry up and greet them. On the other end of the badge, a boy with a soft voice knocked over some things with a clatter, then hurriedly replied that he understood and would end the conversation between the two immediately.

As Natalie retracted the golden badge, a boy in uniform ran out carelessly from the grassland not far from the palace. When Nobita saw the boy with wine-red hair, he immediately remembered where he was.

If he's not mistaken, this is probably the Secret Gadget Museum. He just didn't expect that the museum would be located right below the Time Patrol Headquarters. It's hidden really well.

The burgundy-haired boy should be the guide to this secret gadget museum from my memory. However, his identity as a guide cannot hide the fact that he is Kurt, the grandson of Haldeman, the father of gadgets, and a not-so-famous invention genius. However, he probably hasn't discovered where Dr. Pipla lost the chip yet, otherwise Doraemon would be in trouble. This kid would definitely try to sabotage Doraemon in order to achieve his scientific research goals.

Nobita's past life experience tells him that researchers are obsessive and ruthless. If you disturb their research, they might dissect the tissues themselves, draw conclusions, and laugh it off. It's hard to tell whether they lack faith or are just insane.

However, it's only their first meeting, and it wouldn't be good to start a fight right away. But to prevent this kid from plotting against Doraemon behind his back, Nobita planted a mental seed in Kurt's body. If Kurt has any thoughts that are detrimental to Doraemon, Nobita will immediately sense it and then use mental whipping to make him temporarily an idiot. Let's see if he dares to mess with someone he can't afford to offend after he's 607.

Kurt smiled as he looked up and down at Nobita and the others, who were about the same age as him. He had been notified early that day that he would be receiving a group of important guests, but when he saw the guests, he found that they were a group of elementary school students. This annoyed Kurt. He should have stayed in the laboratory instead of coming here to receive these elementary school students. Moreover, these students were from the 20th century, and it was uncertain whether they could even understand the power of the secret gadget.

But when he saw Doraemon, his already dull face immediately showed a different expression. This subtle change could not escape Nobita's mental detection. Good heavens, Kurt already knew the whereabouts of the chip and instantly set his sights on Doraemon. No wonder he is the legendary Phantom Thief DX. But he had his own plans. If he set his sights on Doraemon, Nobita would teach him a lesson. He would show him that the iron fist of the 20th century is no less powerful than that of the future.

Knowing what Kurt was up to, Nobita immediately intensified his mental surveillance of Kurt and followed him into the museum of secret gadgets. Surprisingly, in this museum, Nobita witnessed the progress of some of these gadgets over the past century. He discovered that technological advancements mostly progressed from enormous to unimaginable. Take Kurt's grandfather, for example; his Anywhere Door was initially enormous, then gradually shrunk to the size Doraemon uses now. It's estimated that in its final stage, humans will be able to tear through space with their own bodies to go wherever they want, at which point humans can be described as gods.

Also, the bamboo dragonfly that Nobita and his friends wore before, the earliest version was actually a bamboo toy from China. Later, based on the level of future technological development, humans combined mechanical dynamics, energy and aerodynamics to create this gadget. Technological development is like a powerful foundation that lays the foundation for the most brilliant part of human civilization. It is indeed worthy of being named Civilization Park by the Time Management Bureau of the future.

Along the way, Kurt diligently explained the knowledge he had learned. He repeated this knowledge to different tourists every day. His memory was intimately familiar with this knowledge that had been around for hundreds of years. However, this technology was a completely new field for Nobita. He used his mental power to fully replicate every piece of knowledge.

Yes, as Nobita's mental strength grows, his comprehension of things far surpasses anything humans can imagine. There is no knowledge he cannot understand, unless the knowledge is wrong from the beginning. However, this does not stop Nobita from deducing the knowledge. Even if it is wrong to some extent, Nobita can find the most correct path through his own deduction.

It can be said that Nobita is now comparable to a super-powerful supercomputer. The logic and thinking ability of this supercomputer have surpassed the current level of human civilization. Nobita always shows great pride in this regard. Although technology and civilization are progressing, the ultimate goal of evolution is the strength of humanity itself, rather than being completely controlled by external forces.

This secret gadget museum appears quite large from the outside, but once inside, Nobita discovers that it definitely utilizes advanced space expansion technology. The interior space is more than ten times larger than what appears to be from the outside. The progress display of a single gadget in this exhibition hall consumes an enormous amount of space, not to mention the hundreds of gadget displays.

Regardless of the technology used here, all Nobita can do right now is to gather all the knowledge about props here. In the future, as long as there are the corresponding materials, Nobita can handcraft a prop for you.

Kurt led them through each gadget, explaining them for a full hour. Finally, they arrived at the last gadget in the museum. Kurt let out a soft sigh of relief. Once this gadget was explained, his work for the day would be completely finished. He could go back and work on his inventions, and maybe even take some time to retrieve the cat bell from the 20th century's childcare machine to test whether it contained any chips. He remembered that some of these chips were in a bell-like gadget. Doraemon's arrival today had activated Kurt's memories of chips, so he focused his attention on Doraemon.

"Alright, that concludes today's explanation. Welcome to the Secret Gadget Museum. We look forward to your return someday. Now, I'll have the museum's time machine send you back to your original era." Kurt had already received Miss Natalie's instructions to send Nobita and the others back to 20th-century Tokyo, while she herself had already rushed back to the Time Management Bureau headquarters to report on Nobita's changes.

"Ah, Miss Natalie isn't taking us back? We were thinking of going to visit the headquarters of the Time Administration Bureau. Kurt, we came from the Time Administration Bureau. Can you take me back there?" Fat Tiger lowered his head in disappointment, looking regretful.

"No, the passage from the Time Bureau here is one-way. Only they can get here, but we can't get to their side. If we want to return to the Time Bureau, we can't get there unless someone inside them accepts our request. As for Miss Natalie, I believe you will have a chance to meet in the future." Kurt waved his hand and then summoned a time machine that looked like a golf cart not far away to send Nobita and the others back.

Inside a certain space in this secret gadget museum, Dr. Piplup looked at Nobita and his friends with a thoughtful expression. Especially when he saw Nobita's face, a strange sense of familiarity arose within him, much like the feeling Nobita had when he saw the portrait hanging on the Time Patrol's wall—a mysterious feeling of having seen it before but having no memory of it.

As he spoke, Dr. Piplup hacked into the golf cart-like time machine, targeting Nobita and the others' data. Looking at the data on the screen, he muttered to himself, "Twentieth century, Tokyo, Nobita Nobi..."

The golf cart-shaped time machine slowly closed its doors, and the surrounding space gradually became illusory. After watching Nobita and the others enter the time tunnel, Kurt immediately ran back to his studio and took out a set from his collection to examine it closely.

"I've collected a lot of chips, just a few more and I'll be able to fulfill my wish. Then I'll be the greatest inventor of this century!" Kurt's voice was firm and deep. Then the studio lights dimmed, and his figure became unpredictable, just like the weather outside.

The museum's time machine was unlike any other time machine Nobita and his friends had ridden in before. This time machine even had a guided tour function, introducing the major events that occurred at each point in time and projecting specific images and data onto the screens on both sides. It truly showed the group of friends the existence of cutting-edge technology.

However, this fully-equipped guided vehicle is a bit slow. It has been running for so long, yet it hasn't covered a hundred years. If we were back in the 20th century, who knows how long we would have to wait? But he's happy to be relaxed. It's a rare opportunity to go on a shopping spree in the future, and it's a special version from the Time Management Bureau, which is different from other places. How could Nobita not be happy? It's just a pity that he didn't get inside the Time Management Bureau. Otherwise, he would definitely have been able to figure out the secrets hidden by the Time Patrol.

Oh well, there's always a chance to visit the Time Management Bureau in the future. As long as they interfere with the 20th century, Nobita will be able to sense their presence. Then he can hitch a ride and eventually have a chance to get into their headquarters and find out what's going on.

Two hours later, Nobita and his friends returned to the back mountain. The other friends ran towards their respective homes, but Nobita and his friends were much more direct. They teleported back to the tatami mats on the second floor in the blink of an eye. So, even now, without using any destructive gadgets, no matter how many Doraemons there are, they wouldn't be enough for Nobita to wreak havoc.

After arriving at his familiar little nest, Nobita made some minor arrangements for the space. He knew that if he wasn't mistaken, guests from the 22nd century would soon be coming here again. The things he had set up here would instantly turn those guests into defenseless quails, who would then get a good beating from Nobita.

Nobita and Doraemon had a quick dinner downstairs and then returned to their room. Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and crows were flying south. Everything seemed so quiet in the night sky. But at that moment, patterns resembling water ripples appeared on the roof of Nobita's room.

Nobita lay on the blanket and saw the pattern, knowing that the guest for tonight must have arrived. He didn't expect the guest to be so impatient and not give Nobita any face at all. How much did the guest look down on 20th-century elementary school students?

As a result, the guest was immediately bound tightly by invisible threads in the space as soon as he appeared. Before he could react, he was no different from a rice dumpling. In particular, Da Xiong specially treated this guest and tied more than a dozen threads around his head. Now every inch of his face was bursting open, like minced meat that was about to break free of its restraints at any moment.

"Hey, why aren't you sleeping at night? You like climbing people's roofs. Where do you get that habit, Mr. Kurt?" Nobita completely ignored the face hidden under the suit and directly pointed out Kurt's identity. Then, sitting on the quilt, he looked at Kurt on the roof and laughed loudly.

"Ugh, let me go! I have something to tell you." Kurt struggled a few times, and then realized that the threads binding him were getting tighter and heavier. Based on his years of experience researching gadgets, he knew that the threads that had bound him in this state were definitely caused by some kind of gadget he knew. To untie the gadget, he had to find the person who released it, and this 20th-century child in front of him was clearly the one who had set up the threads.

"Let you go! Can you explain why you came to our house from the 22nd century in the middle of the night, not through the front door but from the roof beam? If you can explain it clearly, I'll let you go." Nobita looked at this 22nd-century invention prodigy with the eyes of someone looking at a complete idiot. This kid probably played with too many gadgets and didn't understand any humanity. He actually tried to fool him with such a clumsy excuse. It was like showing off his skills in front of Guan Yu. He was tired of living.

"Ah, this..." Nobita's actions completely baffled him. He thought he could fool Nobita, a 20th-century elementary school student, but he didn't realize that Nobita was in the atmosphere while he was on the fifth layer. The two were simply not in the same league.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? Otherwise, the next wave of these threads will turn into steel blades and slice you in half. Believe me, the strength of the items you have won't be enough to protect you. You're still young, you wouldn't want to die so soon, would you?" Da Xiong probed Kurt in front of him, urging him to make a choice quickly.

"I'm here to take the bell from your childcare robot back for research. One of our museum's doctors had a chip placed inside a similar prop. I just want to take a look. If there's no chip in that prop, I'll return it soon."

Seeing the situation was pressing, Kurt had no choice but to honestly reveal his thoughts. In this state, if he didn't tell the truth, he was quite certain that the boy in front of him would dissect him without anyone noticing. Damn it, why would such a monster exist in the 20th-century world? Instantly, he felt that the Secret Gadget Museum was indeed the safest place in the world. At least it was semi-closed, and the tourists inside all landed on the island by invitation. This 20th-century world, which would dissect you and kill you at the drop of a hat, was simply not in the same league.

"Alright, since you've told the truth, I'll put you down. By the way, besides the mental slicing blade you just touched, I've also set up a second and third layer of beings here. If you try to escape, they'll cut you to pieces. If you summon someone from the 22nd century to rescue you using the summoning device, then congratulations, you've hit the jackpot. When they enter this space, you'll all be cut to even greater pieces. I hope you'll behave yourselves; after all, the 20th century is far more dangerous than the future."

Chapter Four: My Magic Can Defeat Science

What Nobita said to Kurt was not an exaggeration at all. He had set up several mental cuts in this room, but not three layers, but four. This last layer was a last-ditch life-saving measure controlled by Nobita to prevent accidents. Nobita would not easily tell anyone about this.

Not only in this room, but if Nobita wanted, he could also cover the entire Earth with a mental slicing blade. However, he was afraid that if some alien creatures or future visitors touched it, it would cut the Earth in the process. Therefore, it was safer to keep these dangerous things within a small area as much as possible.

"Depend on!"

I don't know if this national curse existed in Kurt's era, but the expression on Kurt's face at this moment undoubtedly expresses the hidden meaning behind this national curse.

As far as he knew, although the 20th century was not a particularly peaceful era, Japan at that time was considered a peaceful country. But how did this child from the 20th century acquire such abnormal power, and how did he have such a complex and meticulous mind? Most importantly, his ruthlessness made Kurt unable to muster any thought of resistance. This time, Nobita completely dominated this boy named Kurt from the inside out.

"Alright, now you're on my turf. I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. If the answers satisfy me, then congratulations, you've gained freedom; otherwise, congratulations, you've gained eternal life."

Da Xiong clapped his hands, and the mental threads binding Kurt's entire body loosened. Kurt was thrown off the roof with a thud. Fortunately, his suit was strong enough, otherwise he would have suffered fractures or dislocations.

Kurt's body was covered in bright red welts from being tied up by Nobita. Nobita sat beside him, looking at this future genius prop master. "Alas, what a pity," he thought, "he's gone astray." Nobita didn't want to mention the future, because he now knew that the Secret Props Museum was an affiliated unit of the Time Management Bureau. If anything happened to him, the Time Management Bureau would definitely be the first to know. As for whether they wanted to correct things or eliminate the villains, it would be too easy for them with their power. Nobita decided to stay out of it and let them do whatever they wanted.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." Kurt felt uneasy under Nobita's gaze and immediately became much more obedient.

"You've been at the Secret Gadget Museum for a long time, haven't you? Don't you know any way to go back to the Time Management Bureau?" Nobita decided to start with the big brother unit of the Secret Gadget Museum. Right now, what interests him most is this mysterious Time Management Bureau. If he can get inside, he'll definitely know a lot of things that no one else knows.

“I grew up here, and I know everything about this museum. But so far, I don’t know if the Secret Item Museum has this reverse passage. But I know that someone else should know, since they built this museum. They must know what the connection is between this museum and the Time Management Bureau!”

When Kurt answered this question, he thought of the doctor who had been teaching him all this time. The doctor told him that he was the one who created the civilization of props in this world, and that he and another partner built the secret prop museum, the essence of human civilization. However, what Kurt did not know was that the doctor was not telling the truth. There were other people involved in the construction of this secret prop museum, and it was not at all as the doctor had boasted.

"Oh? Is this person in the Secret Item Museum? When can I meet this person? And you should have something like an invitation to the Secret Item Museum, otherwise how could you travel through time and space so easily to our world?"

Nobita stared intently at Kurt, who, having served various guests year-round, tactfully pulled a silver badge from his pocket. Nobita took it and noticed that it was identical in appearance to Natalie's. The ingenious part inside the badge was likely a spatial positioning device. With this badge, no matter which dimension you were in, as long as you used the relevant time-related items, you would eventually end up at the location pre-set by the badge.

"By the way, as an affiliated unit of the Time Administration Bureau, do you know who founded the Time Administration Bureau and when, and who is in charge now?" Nobita stroked his chin and then threw out his last and most important question. He had originally given up hope on this question, but Kurt's answer revived his spirits.

"The Time Management Bureau has a very high level of secrecy, but there are some things I do know. The Time Management Bureau is an organization founded by a man named Nobita in the year the time machine was invented. Later, this organization was recognized by all the countries in the world and thus became an official organization. As for what this man named Nobita is actually called, many people don't know or understand what's going on. Just thinking about this person's name makes everyone's mind feel like a piece of memory has been erased."

As Kurt recounted the story of the Time Management Bureau since its establishment, a man named Nobita caught his eye. In this era, the surname Nobita surprised Nobita greatly. It was astonishing that such a powerful being had appeared in his own surname. The discovery of the time machine was only a few decades ago. Could it be that the legendary chosen one of destiny would appear in a few decades? He wondered if he would still be able to see him then.

Although Nobita's strength is now at the multiverse level, his lifespan is similar to that of Doctor Strange's teacher in the movies he saw in his previous life. Although powerful, they are not long-lived. In this spacetime, there is no dimensional lord who can allow Nobita to absorb energy indefinitely to sustain his life. If Nobita does not break through his lifespan limit before his time is up, he will leave this world whenever he is supposed to die.

So, in the coming decades, the Time Management Bureau and the Time Machine will appear before the world. It would be such a pity if we didn't see them with our own eyes. I just hope that the person named Nobita will be related to me by then, otherwise it would be a waste of my life to have come into this world.

"Alright, I'm all set. If you're free, you can go back to the 22nd Century Secret Gadget Museum." After asking his questions, Nobita had a general idea of ​​what was to come and waved for Kurt to leave.

But Kurt wasn't reacting at all. First, he wasn't sure if the person in front of him would play dirty tricks and cut him off in a flash. Second, he'd already come all this way; if he didn't take the chips back, he'd be missing out big time. The experiment was almost complete; all that was missing were a few chip cores, and he could become the world's greatest prop master scientist. The opportunity was right in front of him; it would be incredibly difficult for Kurt to give it up.

"Um, could I check your childcare robot? I brought some tools with me. It only takes five seconds to find out if it has a chip inside. I can also do some maintenance for your family member while I'm at it. What do you think?" Kurt looked at Nobita with questioning eyes, pleading for this opportunity.

Seeing Kurt's relentless barrage of gazes, Nobita had no choice but to let him examine Doraemon's body. Doraemon was born a defective product, and his daily experiences with the future were always about running away and hiding. If it weren't for Dorami and Mini-Dora saving him from danger time and time again, this level of robot cat would probably have been ruined long ago.

This is a good opportunity for Kurt to give Doraemon a check-up and some maintenance. That would be a good way to honor the family member who fights alongside him day and night. Although Nobita's current experiences are not much different from before, the level of danger is no less. The peace and tranquility that Nobita and Doraemon enjoy now is all earned by risking their lives, not by mindlessly relying on luck like before. Nobita dares not gamble on this; if he loses, the Earth will be doomed.

Kurt expertly inspected Doraemon's mechanical structure. Since Nobita was right next to him, he didn't dare to snatch Doraemon's bell like he did in the anime in his previous life. He simply didn't have the guts now; he was afraid that if he did, Nobita would deal with him in a heartbeat.
