Misae leaned over and said with a smile, "That's right, Lin Yu is a celebrity now. Maybe we'll even see your poster at the convenience store next time we go."
Guangzhi came out of the room with a bottle of white snake wine in his hand, which Lin Yu had brought back earlier: "Lin Yu, the advertisement says that white snake wine can dispel cold. I'll try drinking some tonight. I've been feeling cold a lot lately from working overtime."
"Okay, but only a small glass, don't drink too much," Lin Yu instructed. He didn't want to see Guangzhi go to work with a hangover the next day.
Guangzhi listened to Lin Yu's instructions and carefully poured a small half cup of white snake wine.
The amber-colored liquor shimmered warmly under the light, its aroma a blend of wine and subtle fruitiness wafting into his nostrils. He took a sip, and the warm liquor slid down his throat without any spiciness, instead carrying a mellow sweetness. Not long after finishing the drink, his body, which had been stiff from working overtime, gradually warmed up.
"This wine really works!" Hiroshi put down his glass with a satisfied smile. "It's much better than the ginger wine I drank before." Misae came out of the kitchen with fruit and rolled her eyes at him: "All you know is drinking. If you're late tomorrow, see what I'll say to you."
Although Misae said this, there was no hint of blame in her eyes. Hiroshi had been working overtime frequently lately, so she was relieved to have a warm drink to relieve his fatigue.
Shin-chan sidled up to Hiroshi, standing on tiptoe to reach the bottle: "Dad, I want a sip too!"
"No! Children shouldn't drink alcohol." Lin Yu quickly pulled him back and coaxed him with a smile, "How about you drink with Dad when you're older?" After hearing Lin Yu's words, Xiao Xin had no choice but to give up.
The next day in PE class, Lin Yu led the children in a "relay ball carrying" game. When Shin-chan and Kazama worked together to carry the ball to the finish line, Shin-chan even struck a pose like Kamen Rider, which made the other children laugh.
After school in the afternoon, Lin Yu went to Westworld via a projector. As soon as he landed, he saw Tong Chuan driving up in a pickup truck with several bags of fresh chicken feed in the back.
"Lin Yu! You've come at the perfect time!" Tong Chuan jumped out of the car, his brown overalls covered in a little grit. "The solar panel's blower is really useful. The power generation has been very stable these past two days, and the ore processing plant even produced an extra 10 tons of iron ore yesterday."
Lin Yu followed Tong Chuan towards the processing point, and could hear the "humming" sound of the machines running from afar.
Two new processing machines are working in an orderly manner. After the ore is poured into the feed inlet, it is quickly crushed into powder. The automatic sorting machine accurately separates the iron ore and copper ore and puts them into the storage bins next to it.
Wanma was hunched over a processing machine, screwdriver in hand, adjusting parts. When he saw Lin Yu come in, he pushed up his glasses and said, "Lin Yu, look at this automatic sorting device. I've improved it again. Now it can increase the purity of iron ore to 63% and copper ore to 59%, which is higher than before."
"Impressive!" Lin Yu walked over and looked at the metallic ore powder in the storage silo with a sense of reassurance. "Next week, the transport fleet from the Suotome family will be able to deliver goods according to the new production volume. There's no need to worry about supply shortages."
The two then went to the renovated sunroom of the white snake farm. There were hundreds more white snakes than before. Several small white snakes, all white in color, were curled up next to the adult white snakes, nibbling on the chicken scraps from the automatic feeder.
"These little white snakes just hatched last week," said Okekawa with a smile. "They seem to be adapting well to the environment here."
Lin Yu squatted down and carefully reached out his hand. An adult white snake sensed his presence and instead of moving away, it gently rubbed against his fingertips. The cool touch made him smile: "In the future, we'll expand the breeding scale a bit more and build a few more sunrooms, so that we'll have more raw materials for white snake wine."
Lin Yu had just returned from Westworld when a furry little figure pounced on his leg.
"Yu! Yu!" Shin-chan, wearing red Kamen Rider flip-flops and clutching a crumpled Kasukabe Defense Force badge, exclaimed with eyes shining like light bulbs, "I heard Westworld is all renovated? There are big houses and robots that can move ore, right?"
Lin Yu looked down at him and smiled helplessly. "It's been renovated, but how did you know?"
"My ears are super sharp!" Shin-chan puffed out his little chest and deliberately shook his badge. "Kazama, Nene, Masao, and Bo all want to go! The Kasukabe Defense Force is going on an adventure to Westworld!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Kazama stood at the door with his schoolbag on his back and a feigned calm expression on his face. "Brother Lin Yu, I want to go to Westworld too..."
"I want to go too!" Nini ran over, clutching her bunny doll. "I want to organize a 'Western Adventure' game for everyone, and I'll be the captain!"
Masao hid behind Kazama and whispered, "I... I brought some bread. You can eat it if you get hungry..." Meanwhile, Adai silently took out a strangely shaped stone from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yu: "This... is for the stone in the Westworld to be friends with."
Looking at the chattering little group in front of him, Lin Yu couldn't refuse and had to nod. "Okay, I'll take you there after I get off work tomorrow, but you have to promise me you won't run around and you have to listen to me."
"Yay!" Shin-chan cheered first, and even pulled Kazama into a dance before Kazama pushed him away in disgust: "Shin-chan! Stop messing around!"
The next day, Lin Yu had just returned home from work when he saw the five little ones sitting neatly on the sofa in the living room. Upon seeing Lin Yu, the five of them instantly became excited.
"Yu, let's hurry up and go!" Shinnosuke Nohara urged impatiently.
"Yeah, Brother Lin Yu, when are we going to Westworld?"
Looking at the five little kids chattering away, Lin Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go then!"
Before setting off, Misae packed snacks for each child and repeatedly reminded Shin-chan, "Shin-chan, you must listen to Lin Yu and not cause trouble, understand?"
Shin-chan pouted and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay."
The five little radishes followed Lin Yu into the car. Lin Yu turned on the projector, and a flash of white light and the hot wind from the yellow sand instantly enveloped everyone. Xiao Xin was the first to rush out, but he slipped on the sand. Luckily, Lin Yu caught him quickly and said, "Slow down, Xiao Xin."
"Wow!" the children exclaimed in amazement. The three-story wooden house in the distance was lit with warm yellow lights, and the sky-blue tin roof shimmered in the sunlight.
In the nearby sunroom, white snakes curled up on moss, and through the transparent glass, one could see the automatic feeder inside. In the distance, at the ore processing point, silver robots were methodically moving ore, and the blower next to the solar panels was humming, blowing the sand clean.
Okegawa was already waiting in front of the cabin in his pickup truck. When he saw them, he waved with a smile and said, "Welcome, little guests from Kasukabe! Come in and sit down, I just baked some cookies."
Shin-chan dragged Kazama into the wooden house. Inside, a table was covered with a light green patterned tablecloth, and cookies and juice were laid out on it. "What a beautiful wooden house! It's even bigger than Misae's kitchen!"
"This is a three-story building, and there are rooms upstairs." Tongchuan handed each child a cookie. "Would you like to go see the white snakes first? They're not afraid of people now, and they'll even come over to eat the meat from the feeder."
"Yes! Yes!" Xiaoxin ran to the sunroom first. Dozens of white snakes were lying on the sand in the sunroom. Some were picking up chicken meat next to the automatic feeder, and several small white snakes were hiding behind the adult white snakes. Their scales were like white jade.
Shin-chan crouched down and whispered, "I'm Nohara Shinnosuke! Can you call me Action Kamen #4 and #5?"
Kazama was carefully observing the white snakes, while Nini organized everyone: "Let's take turns feeding the white snakes! Brother Lin Yu, how do we use the automatic feeder?"
Lin Yu demonstrated by pressing the button on the feeder. A small piece of chicken fell onto the sand, and a white snake slowly crawled over and picked it up.
Encouraged by Ah-Dai, Zheng Nan dared to press the button. Seeing the white snake snatch the chicken, he cheered softly, "I did it!" After seeing the white snake, Tong Chuan took them to the ore processing plant.
Twenty mining robots are using laser cutters to cut rocks. With a "sizzle," the rocks are turned into small pieces. Transport robots steadily carry the ore to the storage bin.
Shin-chan went up to the robot and looked up at it: "Robot brother, can you lift me up? I want to touch the solar panel!"
"No, the robot is working and might accidentally bump into you," Lin Yu said, pulling him back. "But Uncle Wanma can let the robot perform a spinning show for us."
Wanma smiled and pressed the remote control. A transport robot's mechanical arm gently lifted and spun around in the air, making the children clap and cheer.
Ah-Dai squatted down, picked up a small piece of ore that had fallen from a rock, carefully put it in his pocket, and muttered, "Finding friends for the stone..."
In the evening, everyone played Eagle Catches Chicks in the open space in front of the wooden house. Nini was the mother hen, spreading her arms to protect the "chicks". Kazama was the eagle, running very fast. Shin-chan, Masao, and Adai were the chicks, closely following behind Nini.
Lin Yu and Tong Chuan sat on the steps, looking at Tong Chuan and laughing, saying, "Westworld hasn't been this lively in a long time. These kids are so energetic."
After playing for a while, everyone sat in front of the cabin eating cookies. Suddenly, Shin-chan said, "Yu, how about we bring Misae and Hiroshi next time? Let them see the robot and the White Snake!"
"Okay." Lin Yu ruffled his hair. "But next time you'll have to wait until I've finished dealing with my business."
The setting sun painted the sky of Westworld orange-red, the distant mountains were draped in gold, and the buzzing of robots mingled with the laughter of children.
Before leaving, Shin-chan stuck his Action Kamen sticker on the door of the cabin: "This is the Kasukabe Defense Force's mark! We'll come back for another adventure next time!"
Back in the real world, everyone was hungry. After telling each other what they wanted to eat, they began to feast.
After finishing dinner and seeing Kazama and the others off, Lin Yu went upstairs. He sat down at the table, took out his computer, and began writing the sequel to "Akame ga Kill!" On the screen, Tatsumi and Akame were devising a plan to fight against the Empire. Lin Yu's fingers flew across the keyboard, and the characters' dialogues and actions floated into his mind. This was one of the few times he could calm down and write.
Lin Yu saved the document and sent it to Nana at 1 a.m.
Nana quickly replied: "Just finished watching! The interaction between Tatsumi and Akame was so touching. Thank you for your hard work. Have a good relaxing weekend while watching the movie."
After seeing Nana's reply, Lin Yu smiled, chatted with her for a few minutes, then turned off his computer and went to bed.
The sound of Xiaochun's breathing surrounded Lin Yu's ears. The rhythmic breathing and Xiaochun's unique fragrance quickly put Lin Yu to sleep.
The next day, Lin Yu received a call from Xiao Ai as soon as he got off work.
"Moshi moshi, Teacher Lin, when the robot is officially on sale, I'm thinking of holding a press conference to increase the robot's popularity. What do you think?"
Lin Yu held his phone and tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. Xiao Ai's suggestion was exactly what he wanted. The success of the White Snake Wine was inseparable from the early publicity and groundwork. As a newly launched core project, a press conference could indeed quickly generate market buzz for the robot.
“This is a great idea.” Lin Yu’s voice was filled with laughter. “The press conference can not only demonstrate the robot’s functions, but also allow dealers and the media to see the actual effects directly, which is more convincing than just promotional posters.”
Xiao Ai immediately responded crisply from the other end of the phone: "I knew you would agree! I've already had Heiji choose a venue. The Tokyo Big Sight is available next weekend, and it's adjacent to the venue where the White Snake Wine tasting was held, so it'll be easy to set up."
“The location is fine.” Lin Yu walked to the window and looked down at Shin-chan and Masao playing with a ball. “As for the demonstration content, the outdoor robot will focus on demonstrating ore cutting and handling. We can make a video of the mining scenes from Westworld and play it on a loop.”
Lin Yu paused for a moment and then continued, "In addition to cleaning and cooking, indoor robots can also include a 'family companionship' function, such as reading picture books with children, which would better meet the needs of family users."
“That’s what I think too!” Xiao Ai’s tone became even more excited. “Kuroki has already contacted Chairman Yamada, and he has agreed to come and provide expert commentary. Several construction companies and home appliance chains that we have cooperated with before will also send representatives to participate. In terms of media, in addition to the Tokyo Daily, two science and technology TV stations have also been added.”
As soon as Lin Yu hung up the phone and turned around, he saw Xiao Xin approaching with an Action Kamen plushie: "Yu! You just said a robot launch event? Does that mean we'll see robots that can move ore performing?"
Lin Yu ruffled his hair and said helplessly, "You were eavesdropping again?"
"My hearing is super sharp!" Shin-chan puffed out his little chest.
Just then, Misae came out of the kitchen with a promotional poster for White Snake Wine in her hand: "By the way, Lin Yu, I went to the convenience store yesterday, and the owner said that your White Snake Wine posters are plastered all over the shelves. She also asked if I could stock more, saying that a lot of people drink it to warm up in winter."
"Just have her contact Blackie; the second batch of goods should be arriving soon."
Chapter 277 A Touching Movie
On Saturday morning, the air in Kasukabe was filled with the faint scent of cherry blossoms, as if they had been gently crushed and scattered in the air by a pair of gentle hands.
When Lin Yu opened his eyes, the sunlight outside the window had already peeked through the curtains, casting dappled patterns of light on the floor, as if God had then scattered a handful of gold dust.
He had just woken up and instinctively looked to the side; Xiaochun seemed to have already gotten up.
As Lin Yu gradually regained consciousness, he immediately went into the bathroom to wash up. The slightly cold water on his face helped him clear his mind. Today was his date with Nanako Ohara. He was going to Tokyo to accompany her to see a movie and eat at the Italian restaurant that Nanako had mentioned many times.
After washing up, he walked to the wardrobe next to him and found a casual mountain jacket that he had previously taken from the treasure chest. The sleeves of the jacket were embroidered with the shape of a cherry blossom, and he remembered that Ohara Nanako liked cherry blossoms very much.
As soon as Lin Yu went downstairs, he heard Nohara Shinnosuke's voice, "Yu, can you play video games with me today?" Lin Yu patted his head and refused, "I have something to do today, so I can't play video games with you."
Xiao Xin was slightly disappointed after hearing Lin Yu's words, and then he asked again, "Can I take you out today too?" "No, I have important things to do today. Can I take you out next time?"
After Lin Yu rejected him a series of times, Shin-chan realized that he couldn't stay with Lin Yu today. "Okay then." Lin Yu originally thought that Shin-chan would be sad for a while after he rejected him, but he underestimated Shin-chan's ability to "comfort himself".
Lin Yu refused him, but less than a minute later he picked up his Action Kamen toy again and started playing with it. Seeing this, Lin Yu felt relieved, finished his breakfast, and left.
Before leaving, Xiaochun gently straightened Lin Yu's shirt collar. "Yu, be careful on the road." Lin Yu nodded and gave Xiaochun a reassuring smile.
After doing all this, Lin Yu drove the Batmobile to the door of Nanako Ohara's house. Lin Yu pressed the doorbell expectantly, thinking that he would see Nanako Ohara's gentle face when the door opened, but unexpectedly, it was Shiro Ohara who opened the door.
"You brat, today is the day you're going on a date with Nana!" Lin Yu was startled by Ohara Shiro's sudden loud voice.
Seeing this, Ohara Nanako, who was standing nearby, shouted at him in dissatisfaction, "Dad, I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this!" Hearing his daughter's voice saying that she didn't want to buy anything, Ohara Shiro reluctantly stepped aside to let Lin Yu in.
