Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 61 The True Inventor

The orange tennis ball, about the size of a basketball, was emitting a faint white glow.

That's right, these are the 'core components' that Luca has recently collected.

Luca, who had finally been able to settle down and develop his business after dealing with Kingpin, was busy handling the aftermath of the incident and trying to gradually get involved in the company's operations.

He spent most of his time shopping (scratch that), searching for and collecting more crafting items.

However, Luca initially wanted to try to collect the 'Conan Five-Piece Set' and see what would happen when the '1/5' on the cheat code panel became '5/5'.

Therefore, he actually searches more in stores like watch shops and clothing stores, where there is a high probability that props such as 'anesthesia watches', 'voice-changing bow ties', and 'elastic suspenders' will be available.

Unexpectedly, I didn't come across any of the Conan series gadgets in the end. Instead, I accidentally discovered this glowing orange tennis ball in the pet toy section of the mall.

Well, actually, this thing was originally intended to be a 'dog entertainment ball'.

However, Luca didn't care about all that.

Most importantly, the item's description seems to be exactly what Luca needs.

Moreover, since the '720 micron-level neural stimulation units' required for the [TUX-1 Tactical Uniform] (Magic Tuxedo) item are quite difficult to obtain, the 'synthetic materials' for this brand-new item actually arrived even earlier.

Luca gently placed his hand on the 'dog-themed entertainment ball' in front of him.

The next moment, a light blue panel appeared.

Hello
[Gundam 00 1/5]
[Manufacturer: Europa Research Vessel - Proposed Changemaker 0026]
[Core Component: Orange Tennis Toy]
[合成耗材：2个红色LED灯珠、1份装载武器数据的智能芯片、1套小型麦克风和音箱设备、2个小型多变向机械臂、1枚小型电池、1.32平方米碳纤维]
[Item Description: Multifunctional Intelligent Pet. A small intelligent robot with multiple functions including human-computer interaction, weapon repair and manufacturing, programming, and mecha piloting. Due to the material of its outer shell, it is virtually indestructible by conventional attacks, and its internal chip stores a wealth of cutting-edge technology.]
[Friendly reminder: Don't treat it like an ordinary electronic pet. After all, to you, it might be more like a real mechanical master~]
That's right, this seemingly ridiculous 'core component' actually synthesized into the famous true protagonist of the entire Gundam series, the ace Gundam pilot, Haro Robot!

Most importantly, according to the panel description, this version of the Hello Robot is not simply an electronic pet.

It also integrates multiple functions such as 'weapon repair and manufacturing', 'programming', and 'mech piloting'.

'If Hello is really as amazing as they claim, maybe this little thing really is a real inventor than this imposter!'

Luca, full of anticipation, did not hesitate at all.

He picked up the tennis ball and put it down. He then took out the other 'synthetic materials' one by one from the newly arrived delivery box and drew a circular array on the ground with chalk.

Then place these 'synthetic consumables' one by one into the formation.

LED beads, smart chips, and multi-directional robotic arms.
Once all the 'synthetic materials' were lit up with white light, Luca let out a long sigh of relief and clapped his hands at the edge of the circular array.

Mind silently.

'synthesis!'

The next instant, a milky white light enveloped the entire magic circle.

As the light faded.

A round robot, which looked about seven or eight parts similar to the previous 'dog-themed puzzle ball', suddenly appeared in the center of the magic circle.

‘It’s done! ’

Luca had an idea.

The orange-yellow round robot suddenly had its pair of red beady eyes light up and flash.

Immediately following this was a "beep" sound from an electronic notification.

next moment.

"Start! Start!"

The round robot with red light flashing in its eyes rolled away from the center of the magic circle and came to Luca's side while repeating its startup voice.

"Highest authority! Highest authority!"

"Luca! Luca!"

'So, there really is a restrictive procedure similar to the Zeroth Law of the Big Bang? It just feels a bit silly.'

Looking at the bouncy little gadget in front of him, Luca felt that it wasn't as intelligent as the cheat system had described. "Hello?"

"Hello! Hello!"

"."

"He really is a bit silly," Luca remarked.

No sooner had he said that than Haro jumped up angrily and slammed his head into Luca's knee.

"Not stupid! Not stupid!"

"Luca's an idiot! Luca's an idiot!"

Luca "."

"This little thing has quite a temper."

Haro reached out and stopped Haro from headbutting him again. He squeezed the robot, which was supposed to be made of E-carbon, a special material from the 00 Gundam world, and found it to be quite elastic.

When dropped on the ground, it bounces back up just like a real tennis ball toy, even after being squeezed and deformed.

'Is it some kind of conceptual power created to adhere to the original?'

Thinking that his cheat ability seemed to be so unreasonable all along, Luca simply stopped worrying about it and instead became more excited about the functions of Haro described in the cheat ability panel. He immediately asked a question.

"Hello, tell me, what functions do you have?"

Upon hearing Luca's question, the little toy, which had been bouncing around, finally stopped.

The mechanical arm, which flapped its ears, slowly landed and stabilized itself. Then, the red light in its two beady eyes kept flashing.

However, just as Luca was eagerly waiting for Haro to introduce himself...

Unexpectedly, the little thing in front of him jumped up again and hit Luca's instep, repeating what he said in a somewhat angry tone.

"Stupid Luca! Stupid Luca!"

Upon hearing this, Luca was taken aback at first, but then immediately grabbed Haro with both hands and began to rub him with great displeasure.

"I have the highest authority! You little brat."

Before Luca could finish his sentence, he saw Haro, whom he was kneading, spit out a data cable with a connector from its body, while still continuing to mock him.

"Connect device! Connect device! The language is complicated! The language is complicated!"

Luca, who had been somewhat resentful, finally realized what was happening.

Given that Hello can only speak in two-word phrases, if I were to introduce all its features to myself, I probably wouldn't finish talking until next month.

The little guy had been waiting patiently in place, actually waiting for Luca to bring over a computer so he could connect the data cable.

Somewhat embarrassed, Luca ignored Haro's 'mocking' gaze and obediently carried the little thing to the computer and connected it to the data cable.

Immediately afterwards, a red light flashed in Haro's eyes.

Its various data capabilities were then displayed one by one on the computer screen.

For those who haven't seen Gundam 00, let me tell you how awesome Haro is in this series.

This thing was initially involved in the development of the GN Drive and Gundam.

Subsequently, in cooperation with Celestial Being, they replicated a large number of Haro auxiliary functions. (The villains developed the pseudo-solar reactor because they obtained another purple Gundam.)
The Celestial Being organization (the main characters' group) has very few members on its Ptolemy ship. Basically, they rely on these Haros to help with everything from maintaining the mechs and doing daily work to operating the ship and using the healing pods.

Then this thing can also pilot Gundams, pilot auxiliary MAs, and write Gundam operating systems.

However, in the original story, Harlow's awesomeness was probably due to his connection to the VEDA super server.

I won't turn this into a super server, but I'll still make sure it has all the basic data and fundamental AI capabilities.

P.S.: Looking for an emoticon that represents "Hello" (tried many, but none of them seem right).
