In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

"Is the market...supply insufficient?"

"Yes, almost all domestic companies that make robots on the market are making civilian robots, and the body parts are basically independently developed for various civilian applications."

Moreover, in order to allow operators to control them better, robots are usually made to be quadrupedal, with an appearance similar to a centaur.

It's better to hope that the existing civilian robots are more durable than to expect them to be converted for combat.

"What about foreign companies?" Chen Yi keenly caught Kroc's unrelated question.

"Ironblood holds a monopoly, almost dominating the entire combat robot market."

"Moreover, whether it is the Russian army disguised as the Sakhalin Island guard or the US army disguised as the Titan PMC, they are essentially engaged in the military mercenary market and have no intention of selling arms."

So, Iron Blood has really become Kang Tao.

"As for other countries... In fact, after World War II, only the Big Three and the European Union were able to do long-distance trade and multinational business. Africa and Latin America were mainly engaged in intra-continental trade."

Moreover, Japan is a country with an incredibly awkward geographical location... Doing business here is basically a thankless and arduous task.

"I think I understand now..."

It seems that the path of marketization is not so easy.

Let's take a step by step.

......

Before leaving the temporary camp, Chen Yi also met with Toyokawa Kiyoko.

Compared to the suit he wore last time, Mr. Toyokawa looked more energetic in clothes suitable for outdoor activities.

"Does Mr. Toyokawa need to be on-site to take responsibility?" Chen Yi wondered.

"After all, this project is quite large, and I feel a little uneasy if I can't handle it in all aspects."

It doesn't seem to be flying around like in the original work. Is it because Deng didn't get scammed in this timeline?

Chen Yi remembered that in the original work, the loss of 168 billion was apparently due to being set up.

"Speaking of which, my daughter is the same age as you, and she's still in school."

As if trying to get closer to someone, Toyokawa Kiyokaku said.

Actually, I'm studying too.

Although the series of things he has done recently have blurred his senses of campus life.

"I haven't graduated yet either."

"It's impressive that he's managing a company at such a young age."

There was something inexplicable in Toyokawa Kiyotaka's words.

He had previously used his family's resources to investigate Chen Yi's identity, but apart from a small studio, no information had leaked out.

Unfathomable.

On the neon-lit land, a minor with no apparent backing casually handed over 3 billion in construction funds...

So Toyokawa Kiyoko stopped in time and warned himself to do his job properly and not to get into trouble.

Upon realizing Chen Yi's identity, a hint of apprehension flashed deep in Toyokawa Kiyoko's eyes.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Take care, Mr. Toyokawa."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yi spoke.

He and the other person really didn't have much in common.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, take care too."

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 241 (Anime Adaptation)

Chapter 241

According to the school's normal schedule, there is no need for online classes today.

Although he didn't listen to the regular classes much, it made no difference to Chen Yi.

Learning, designing, mechanical drawing, simulation, identifying problems, and then solving them...

Aside from eating and sleeping, he spends most of his time on these things. Even without the influence of the machine spirit, Chen Yi's current knowledge reserves are enough to easily defeat his past self. Three of them stacked together wouldn't be a match for his current self.

As for where the motivation to study comes from, it can probably only be the influence of the will to survive.

On another note, Chen Yi got up very early today and stayed in the kitchen alone, tinkering around.

It wasn't just a sudden whim; the prototype of the kitchen assistant had already been built and needed initial testing.

"It's not bad at handling ingredients..." Chen Yi nodded in satisfaction as he watched the two nimble robotic arms cut two identical vegetables into two different shapes according to the instructions.

Intelligence and image recognition are not the problem; this is the most difficult part. As for maintenance difficulty and mass production...

Chen Yi considered mass production, but then gave up because the application scope of a kitchen assistant is too low, and the cost cannot be reduced because it is adapted to human tools. So Chen Yi abandoned the plan to put the kitchen assistant on the market and just made one for himself to play with.

After tidying up the kitchen, which had become somewhat messy due to the testing of the kitchen assistants, Chen Yi returned to his study and, as usual, gave each gun in the armory a meticulous maintenance.

Since the number of weapons increased, the maintenance time has also been extended considerably. Although Chen Yi has become an expert with the accumulation of skills, the increase in the number of weapons has made up for this, so that the time has not only not shortened, but has become longer and longer.

Good morning, Lorelei.

Chen Yi didn't look up; he could guess who it was just by hearing the sound of the doorknob turning.

Good morning, Commander.

"Is the noise from the kitchen bothering you?" Chen Yi didn't look up, put the newly maintained DSR-50 into the flight case, and then picked up the G28.

"No, it's just that I dreamt about the most exciting part of the dream, and then I suddenly woke up, which was a bit disappointing... But being able to see the Commander every morning is a really happy thing."

Lorelei spoke without any hint of the 'disappointment' she claimed to have.

Why do I get the feeling she's holding back something big?

Chen Yi looked up and glanced at a certain girl with a cowlick sitting at the desk, taking his cup to drink hot water.

"What's wrong, Commander?" Lorelei asked with an innocent expression.

"..."

......

The main content of Volume 5 is also complete. Only the finishing touches and revisions are left. Once it is sent to the editor's email, the novel will be officially finished.

Although a collector's edition, also known in the industry as a side story, will be released later, it will not be the main story.

Yes, if the writing is poor, the readership will be alienated. However, the collector's edition is essentially for making money, and most authors don't care about how well it's written.

Looking back on the experience of suddenly becoming popular over the past few months... I have to say, Kasumigaoka is quite emotional.

Although this urban hero light novel formula is a bit outdated, the writing is still quite good. It happened to be a window of opportunity, which allowed Kasumigaoka to rise to prominence.

As she shut down her computer, Kasumigaoka rubbed her eyes, gazing at the ceiling with a dazed look.

October has arrived on the calendar, and today is the premiere of the animated film.

"I always feel like there's something empty inside..."

It's because the ending has already been written, a bit like raising a child and then watching him fly away.

...No, no, no, what am I thinking! We're not even married yet...

Speaking of this...

Kasumigaoka thought of a certain jerk junior who seemed to have been distancing himself from her lately, and she wondered what he was up to.

I still regret not taking advantage of the aquarium visit to go home and make it official. Who knew that guy was so emotionally timid, acting like a complete stranger even after we were in a relationship... Does this brat junior have absolutely no emotional needs? What does he do all day?

Kasumigaoka still couldn't believe that someone in the world could be so detached from worldly desires as to keep a pretty upperclassman hanging on for weeks without a care, and would reply with a "like" emoji every time she sent him various selfies.

It's infuriating! Do I have to take the initiative every single time?

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka decided to confront Chen Yi directly and made a call without thinking twice.

"Moses, Moses?"

Chen Yi answered the phone with one hand and adjusted the angle of the non-invasive brain-computer interface on his head with the other, so that he could hold the phone to his ear.

"Why doesn't the Commander use speakerphone?" Lorelei asked, puzzled.

That's true.

Chen Yi placed his phone on the processing table, straightened the non-invasive brain-computer interface, and adjusted the proportions of various parameters on the computer.

"Hey junior, how have you been lately?"

"Oh... uh, I've been taking online classes lately."

"..." Kasumigaoka was silent for a while on the other end of the phone.

Who asked you that? If you don't attend online classes, are you going to go out and find fake people to kill?

"What I mean is... junior, have you been bored lately?"

"It's alright, life is quite fulfilling," Chen Yi replied, his eyes never leaving the screen.

Being so busy every day that my feet barely touch the ground, it can certainly be described as fulfilling.

"...Would you like to come out and hang out, junior?"

"A field trip?" Chen Yi paused for a moment, considering the itinerary for the next few days.

It seems like there's nothing else to do besides playing with machines.

...Probably. I'll have to go and take a look myself when the construction team arrives.

"Actually, 'Heartbeat Service Club' is almost finished, so this trip isn't for inspiration, it's to adjust my mindset... and celebrate?"

"So it's almost over...?"

Chen Yi suddenly realized that he had forgotten to catch up on the fourth volume.

"Also, the anime adaptation of the novel is premiering today! 6:30 pm is the best time to watch it."

"But I don't think I have a TV at home... Hmm, I'll watch it," Chen Yi muttered to himself as he replied.

"Looking forward to your feedback, I'm going to inform the others!"

Kasumigaoka hung up the phone.

Chen Yi glanced at LINE and found that there was a message on the phone while he was on the phone. It was from his classmate Qingshan, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.

"Chen Jun, the movie I dubbed premieres today! Remember to watch it!"

The accompanying image is a promotional poster for "Doki Doki Service Club".

"What a coincidence." Chen Yi glanced at Aoyama Nanami's character and sighed that Aoyama's voice and emotions were indeed suitable for playing that beloved supporting role.

......

The address needs to be carefully chosen; it should be close to home while also being original and not outdated...

Kasumigaoka is under planning.

If the place is nearby, you can just turn around and take him home. Then he won't be able to run away even if he wants to.

But the date location can't be too boring...

P.S.: Could you please give me some virtual gifts or votes? OvO Thanks meow~

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 242 Review

Chapter 242

"Sister Xing is here too."

Upon entering Dr. Maruki's office, Chen Yi immediately recognized the guest sitting on the sofa with his back to him.

"Mr. Chen, how have you been?"

On the table in front of Dr. Futaba was an opened can of coffee and some reports.

"Is there any progress on the Boiling Point side?"

Dr. Maruki suddenly called him over to do a follow-up examination of the boiling phenomenon, and then Dr. Futaba was also sitting there. Chen Yi quickly figured out what was going on.
