Chapter 6: Buying a mechanical prosthesis and meeting Saitama (2/2)



"Please follow me, Mr. King. We have just received a batch of the latest models of prosthetic limbs, which should meet your needs."

She led Di Yi to a semi-enclosed showroom and unlocked the glass display case with quick movements.

"These are military-grade products developed by Dr. Pofoy."

Ms. Sato's voice has returned to a professional and steady tone, "It's waterproof and shockproof, has a load-bearing capacity of 200 kg, and the joint flexibility is close to that of a real person..."

Di's eyes swept across the rows of prosthetic limbs made of metal and carbon fiber.

These cold mechanical creations glowed with a chilly luster under the light, and every joint from fingers to ankles was so precise that it was amazing.

"Is there a model that can be controlled remotely?"

Ms. Sato's eyes lit up: "You mean the neural link type? We do have an experimental product..."

She enthusiastically guided Diyi to an independent booth in the center of the exhibition hall.

"This is our flagship product, which uses nano-scale bionic technology and has a nerve connection rate of 92%, which is almost the same as a natural limb."

On the booth, a set of silver-gray mechanical limbs glowed coldly under the spotlights.

The slender mechanical fingers can perform delicate movements such as pinching coins, and the hydraulic system at the joints ensures the output of force.

"Most importantly..."

Ms. Sato pressed a button on the side of the display stand, and the prosthesis immediately stopped all movements.

"It is equipped with the latest remote control system, and the guardian can enable or disable the prosthetic function at any time through a dedicated bracelet."

Di Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was exactly what he needed - to restore Mosquito Girl's ability to move, but also to deprive her of her freedom of movement when necessary.

"Demonstrate the control function." He said briefly.

Ms. Sato skillfully picked up a black bracelet next to her and put it on her wrist: "Look, press this red button and the prosthesis will enter the locked state."

As she spoke, the mechanical arm on the booth froze immediately. "Press the green button again to restore it. The bracelet is also equipped with a biometric lock, and only registered users can operate it."

Di nodded: "Price?"

"A single limb costs 2 million yen, and a set of four limbs costs 7 million yen."

Ms. Sato looked at Di with anticipation. "Today is a special sale. If you buy it now, you can also get a point coupon worth 100,000 yen and free lifetime maintenance service."

This price is astronomical for ordinary people, but it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the salary of S-class hero King.

Di Yu didn't hesitate: "I want a set, right now."

When the POS machine spit out the purchase slip, Ms. Sato's hands were shaking slightly.

This transaction was enough for her to get a high-digit commission.

She carefully handed the special metal box containing the prosthesis to Di Yi, her eyes sparkling with unconcealable joy.

"Mr. King, do you want me to introduce other products to you?" She blushed slightly: "Or... can I accompany you to go shopping in the mall?"

Di Yi shook his head: "No, thank you."

He turned and left without noticing Miss Sato's eager expression.

The next stop is the fresh food area, located on the first floor of the mall.

Various types of meat are neatly arranged in the refrigerator, and the numbers on the price tags increase exponentially with the quality.

"Five-A grade Wagyu... that's it."

He selected a few steaks with beautiful marble textures, hesitated for a moment in front of the refrigerator, and finally pointed to a box of dark red solids in the corner.

"Wrap up that cow blood clot for me, too."

The chef in charge of cooking the blood looked at him curiously, but due to his professional ethics he did not ask any further questions and just neatly put the blood clot into a fresh-keeping box.

“Do you need me to cut it into small pieces?”

"No, just the whole piece."

Carrying a heavy shopping bag, Di went to the vegetable area.

The place was crowded with people, and housewives were rushing to buy discounted vegetables.

Suddenly, he stopped.

In front of the shelf of discounted cabbages, a bald head reflecting the light is particularly conspicuous.

A slightly dirty yellow tights, a white cape, and a look of disinterest...

Saitama.

Next to him, the blond modified human Qingqi was holding the little one and listening carefully to the teacher's "teachings".
