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

"It depends on the editor's arrangements. I'll let you know when that happens. Looking forward to your arrival!"

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Kasumigaoka squinted her eyes, feeling quite pleased.

......

"Arm shield".

Chen Yi's expression became quite interesting as he watched the arm shield constantly switching functions on the engineering software.

This was the result of his hard work designing it all afternoon.

It integrates obstacle breaking and tools, lighting and laser dazzle, elbow strike and electric shock modules, and Picatinny rails to meet a variety of needs.

It can even transform; a tactical sword can be ejected via a quick-release ring on the finger, proving surprisingly effective in critical moments.

Yes, it only took one afternoon.

"When did I become so strong?" Chen Yi was a little unsure if this was his own doing, and he scratched his head.

Let's just say it's the machine spirit unleashing its power, hmm.

"Is the tactical sword pop-up function really necessary? The Commander's materialized hand axe is obviously faster, isn't it?" Kroos watched from the side, somewhat puzzled.

"The tactical sword isn't meant for me to keep. If needed, it serves as a safeguard when lending it to others," Chen Yi explained.

"I see, it was my oversight."

"Do you think I should add a grappling hook?" Chen Yi suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Isn't that unnecessary? The design is already full of redundancy." Kroos looked at the screen carefully, slightly disgusted.

"Commander, you should increase the intensity of your daily training. Otherwise, once it's built, it might be too heavy to use."

"Haha..." Chen Yi looked at the word 'titanium alloy' circled among the materials on the draft paper next to his notebook and laughed somewhat awkwardly.

Summer Vacation: Chapter 116, Seeing the Child's Training

One round of volley fire, ten bullets, seven hit the target.

An 83% hit rate is still not enough.

After shooting for two hours, Yotsuya Miko looked at the bill for the shooting range with a pained expression.

120 Parabellum pistol rounds, 60 NATO standard rifle rounds, for a little under 10,000 yen.

"Ugh... I don't have much pocket money left..."

After studying the bill carefully for a while, Yotsuya Miko put it in her pocket and walked home at her usual pace.

"...Sister? Why have you been going out to play every day these past few days?" Yotsuya Kyosuke, who was watching TV at home, turned around and asked when he heard the sound of the door opening in the entryway.

"This isn't for fun, we have serious business to attend to." Miko Yotsuya said as she changed her shoes.

"Oh...you're on a date with your boyfriend, right? The really handsome older brother from last time?" Yotsuya Kyosuke surprised everyone with his question.

"Respectfully!" Yotsuya Miko had no choice but to scold the naughty child in a soft voice.

"I'm going to tell Mom that my sister has been going on dates with her boyfriend lately." Kyosuke Yotsuya jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen.

"So you've been going on dates with your boyfriend these past few days? Be careful, and bring protection if you're going to do it..." Touko Yotsuya poked her head out of the kitchen, and a string of words came out of her mouth in an instant, as if she had been prepared all along.

"When are you bringing me home for dinner?" Touko Yotsuya winked.

“No…” Yotsuya Miko’s face turned as red as a teapot.

"These past few days, I actually went to..." With no other option, she sat down at the dining table and told the whole truth.

"..."

"It's good that Miko is alive." Touko Yotsuya hugged Miko tightly, her eyes filled with heartache.

“Mom…” Yotsuya Miko choked up.

"So that older brother isn't my sister's boyfriend? He's so amazing, be careful he doesn't fly away!" Kyosuke's focus was still on whether his older sister would get married.

"Kyosuke, let's talk about that later... Miko, since you're planning to improve yourself, I'll support you. If you don't have enough money, just tell me." Touko Yotsuya said earnestly to Miko.

“Yes.” Yotsuya Miko nodded.

"Well, so when are you bringing Chen home? We used to be quite close, and he often walked you home from school." Touko Yotsuya suddenly changed the subject with a mischievous smile, bringing up the topic that Miko least wanted to talk about.

"Why is Mom like this too...?" Yotsuya Miko said, feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"I'm just simply thanking him for protecting my daughter... However, I still want to advise you, since he's such a good person, don't let him go. Good men are in high demand."

"mom!"

......

The parts for the arm shield were all custom-made by Dongda, ensuring both high quality and excellent value for money.

The main materials of the shield are titanium alloy and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Titanium alloy is used on the main protective surface, and a skin treatment is applied to the shield surface.

After assembling the arm shield according to the design drawings, Chen Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"All functions are normal, and the weight is within expectations, allowing for extended combat operation." The tactical sword sprang out quickly like a hidden blade, then retracted into the gap between the shield and the back of his hand. Chen Yi flipped the shield over and over, quite satisfied.

"Mai, you try it." Chen Yi took off his arm shield and handed it to Sakurajima Mai, who was standing to the side watching the show.

"Huh? Me?" Mai Sakurajima hesitated for a moment before taking it.

"This is how the straps are used... and then..." Chen Yi leaned closer, pointing with his fingers.

The tactical sword pops out, its gray blade exuding a chilling aura. Locked in place by a mechanical structure made of tough materials, it is not easily loosened upon ejection, allowing for better slashing and piercing.

"So cool, Yi-jun is amazing." With a slight twitch of her fingers, Sakurajima Mai put away her tactical sword and took off her arm shield.

"The overall design of the arm shield is fine; it meets the requirements for its intended purpose," Kroos affirmed.

"Alright, next up is another piece of equipment."

At this point, Chen Yi looked somewhat worried.

He had already experienced the inconvenience of controlling messengers and fairies with a mobile phone when he was fighting in the hotel. He needed something more portable, such as a watch or an arm tablet.

However, this involves a rather difficult area: programs and systems.

He wasn't a programmer; creating a simple control program that guaranteed basic functionality was already the best he could do. Now he wants to specifically research a portable system...

They really think I'm omnipotent.

"Since things have come to this, let's ask Shuangye for help." Chen Yi picked up his phone.

When in doubt, consult two leaves.

'They really think I'm omnipotent,' Futaba retorted.

"If we're talking about programming skills, I can only say I'm not as good as you. Figure it out yourself," she replied irritably.

"..."

Having failed to find a shortcut, I have no choice but to try and study programming books.

......

"Mr. Chen, you seem to be quite busy these days. I haven't seen you come to see me on your own initiative."

Unexpectedly, Professor Hiratsuka came to visit me in person.

"Yeah, a bit. Oh, right, take a look at this." Chen Yi closed the door and took out the arm shield from the storage box.

"What is this?... It looks pretty impressive." Hiratsuka Shizuka examined it for a moment before reaching out to take it.

"What's this opening for?" Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that there was still some distance between the shield and the hand-mounted part, and her sharp eyes spotted the clue.

"You'll know once you try it on," Chen Yi said, feigning profundity.

"Oh..." The tactical sword was easily extended and retracted, and there were buttons and LED lights on the inside of the arm to indicate the working status of each module. It was having a great time playing with the strobe and laser.

"Stop flashing, Hiratsuka-sensei, I confess." Chen Yi closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands, but he could still feel the strong light, so he could only speak helplessly.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Chen Yi's stuff is quite novel, and Hiratsuka Shizuka admits that she accidentally got hooked.

"Since you're already at my place, there's no need to worry about what to eat outside. I'll just cook at home." Chen Yi rested for a while, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and thought for a moment.

There should be enough food in the fridge, but I'll have to go buy some tomorrow.

Beef, vegetables, soup base...

"Stop, stop, two people can't eat this much." Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped Chen Yi from continuing to rummage through the refrigerator.

“It’s not just for two people.” Chen Yi looked at the ingredients on the island counter, thought for a moment, and picked up two items to put back in the refrigerator.

That's definitely a bit too much.

Because of the rampant spread of hypocrites, dinner culture is far less prevalent than lunch culture in this world.

However, in Japan, the attitude towards lunch is no different from that towards dinner.

Perhaps it's because island nations have scarce resources and not much good food.

Chen Yi silently pondered this as he flipped the steak over.

"Yi-kun, your singing and playing video has gone viral!" Mai Sakurajima said from the living room.

"Okay, I understand. I'll look at it after dinner," Chen Yi replied.

P.S.: Today I encountered the biggest writer's block I've ever experienced. I wrote a total of 8,000 words, and deleted at least 2,000. I'm about to explode!

Summer Vacation: Chapter 117 Kasumi Shiko's Book Signing Event

"It seems quite a lot of people are watching?" Chen Yi glanced through it and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

My skills are still a bit rough.

Thankfully, their faces weren't captured in the photo.

"What are you looking at?" Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned closer.

"Uh, a video of me singing and playing an instrument, let's see how the reaction is," Chen Yi showed off.

"Not bad, you've finally figured out how to find another hobby to pass the time." Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, full of appreciation.

Uh, well, let's just say that.

He didn't reveal his original intention for becoming a video blogger.

Chen Yidiao habitually scrolled through the comments section, finding comments such as "nice voice," "beautiful hands," "nobody here? I'd like to lick them a couple of times," and "it would be great if the blogger were a girl."

Wait, what's with that last sentence?

Chen Yi long-pressed and commented.

Thanks for your support =）

Hopefully, this netizen will realize the truth.

"Are Mai's fans usually like this?" Chen Yi closed his eyes and smiled helplessly.

"Uh... my fans are all quite restrained," Sakurajima Mai said somewhat awkwardly, snatching the phone and starting to delete comments intensively.

"Alright, ignore it. Netizens are just talking nonsense." Chen Yi took his phone back.

After all, there weren't many comments to begin with, and once they were deleted, it became a no-man's land.

"Okay, I'll head back now. I have some things to do this afternoon." After resting for a while, it was 2 p.m. when Hiratsuka Shizuka stood up and rubbed his head as she spoke.

"No need to see me off, I can go down by myself." With that, Hiratsuka Shizuka packed her things and waved goodbye.

"Come again next time," Chen Yi said to Hiratsuka Shizuka as he followed her to the elevator.

......

Not fast enough.

When Chen Yi was designing the robot with two legs, this idea flashed through his mind.

It's not that design and manufacturing aren't fast enough; it's another aspect, concerning video bloggers.

Although there were initial results, they were far worse than he had expected.

"Kroos, do you think if we went hunting at night and filmed it, it would go viral even faster?" Chen Yi glanced at Sakurajima Mai, who was reading a book, and asked in his mind.
