Chapter 16: Intelligence

It was impossible to leave immediately, her hair was still processing the dye, and she couldn’t just abandon it halfway. After Lucy’s gentle persuasion, Su Shiyi managed to calm her excitement and decided to wait for another hour.

Kevin had sent her a video of the actual suit, and just looking at the beautiful metallic sheen made Su Shiyi salivate.

Oh, which fan hasn’t dreamed of owning a set of battle armor? And this was custom-made for her, officially licensed, and wearable!

Although it was impossible to have the many cool features seen in the movies, just the appearance alone was enough to make it super cool!

This was the hardest hour Su Shiyi had to endure, but luckily, she could scroll through some editing videos on the lettered site to soothe her restless mood. When the stylist finished drying her hair, she wasn’t even interested in looking at herself in the mirror. She had completely forgotten that just earlier, she had been thinking about the Aquaman red, and now she was sprinting toward her car at full speed.

Stylist: …

She didn’t even finish drying her bangs, and before, she had said it was her “white moonlight.” In the end, it was all a wrong commitment. TAT

—

Billion Island was quite large, with the Gu family castle located at the very center. After arriving on the island, it was still a long drive to the location. Su Shiyi used to think that the larger size was no big deal, but now, in her hurry to return, she wished she could teleport.

Her Mark50 was calling to her, she could barely wait!

There were hardly any pedestrians on the island, and no speed cameras to enforce limits. The driver listened to her instructions and accelerated, shortening the trip by a third while ensuring safety. Su Shiyi rewarded him with a “I’ll give you a raise” and watched as she dashed toward the elevator with the urgency of someone preparing for the Olympics.

Lucy had never seen Su Shiyi this anxious before. Her hands were constantly rubbing together, and her feet kept stomping. The way she waited for the elevator doors to open was more like a husband waiting outside a delivery room than someone eager to see their battle armor.

To be honest, some men would still be able to calmly play games at a time like this, but her level of enthusiasm was off the charts.

Kevin, understanding her thoughts, had the battle armor close by, placed directly in the collection room right by the elevator exit. Su Shiyi’s eyes lit up with excitement, and she couldn’t wait for Kevin’s introduction. She hugged the suit tightly, not wanting to let go, yet being careful not to apply too much force—if she broke it, that would be a huge loss.

Although the battle armor was customized for her height, making it appear smaller and more delicate, no one could deny that it was the Mark50, the suit that would make countless fans scream!

Waaahhh, the battle armor, waahhh, she was going to sleep with it tonight, and no one could stop her.

“Miss Shiyi, please let go so I can help you put it on.”

Only when Kevin said this did Su Shiyi reluctantly release her precious armor. Thinking about how anxious she had been on the way here, she finally felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Kevin and Lucy were professionals. Their gazes were so gentle and kind, like a mother who could forgive her child for any mistake, and they made her feel completely at ease.

Su Shiyi stood still, expecting Kevin to remove the pieces of the suit one by one and fit them onto her. But instead, he opened the box behind him.

This… could it be…?

“Miss Shiyi, I’ve custom-made two sets for you. This one is a display commemorative edition, and this one is the wearable experience version.”

Wow, wow, wow, wow!

Double the battle armor, double the joy! Kevin, how thoughtful you are, this is amazing! She hadn’t even thought of such an idea!

Su Shiyi happily became the display stand as Kevin assembled the battle armor piece by piece onto her, while Lucy carefully styled her hair, preparing to tuck it into the helmet.

Although the armor was divided into different parts, it didn’t have the cheap feel she had feared. Once assembled, it looked very high-end, exactly like the display version she had hugged earlier. After the headpiece was on, she was still able to move her joints freely.

Moreover, the reactor on her chest had an LED light switch, and pressing it made it light up. Su Shiyi thought she could happily play with just this button all day.

The design of the headpiece was also impressive. The back was a half-covering helmet connected to the neck, and the visor fit perfectly, snapping into place, yet Su Shiyi didn’t feel stuffy at all.

“The armor has an air conditioning system,” Kevin explained to her. “This is one of the few things we could really replicate.”

Su Shiyi: !

Wow, so the reactor on her chest wasn’t just an LED light—it could actually power the armor? Upon further thought, if she didn’t use high-energy functions like firing cannonballs, modern technology could definitely support a cooling system.

But the surprises her precious armor had for her didn’t end there. Her vision inside the suit was actually unaffected, although she had no idea how that worked. Kevin reminded her to press the small button on the left side of the reactor. Following his instructions, a holographic screen popped up in front of her.

“Wee home Ms Su, you need to pay attention to control the time today. With every passing hour, I will remind you once. Enjoy your time.”

Su Shiyi: !!!

This familiar voice, these familiar lines!

“I contacted Disney, and after negotiations, we secured non-commercial authorization. In addition to adapting the movie’s original lines, we had ^[1]“Mr. Bethany” likely refers to Paul Bettany, the actor who voiced J.A.R.V.I.S. in the Iron Man and Avengers movies before later playing Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Mr. Bethany record an intelligent voice package. The AI used in the armor has been synced to all your mobile devices. This is the latest development from the Gu Group. Now, you can give it a name.”

“Oh, except for the one we can’t write due to copyright rules, anything else is fine.”

Su Shiyi’s little head exploded, ahhhhhh, she just wanted a set of battle armor, but Kevin had gotten her so many extra perks!

“Then I’ll call it Sunday. I love Sundays.”

Perfect, let’s use this, the only day off for a former 996 worker, to commemorate her bygone working life.

The artificial intelligence, Sunday, was truly impressive. Not only did it have the same voice as the character in the movie, but in terms of intelligence, it was top-tier technology from the wealthiest group, easily surpassing anything on the market. When interacting with it, responses were varied, and the intelligent search function was very convenient.

With Sunday around, Kevin didn’t need to explain any more of the suit’s functions. He and Lucy left, not wanting to disturb Su Shiyi as she enjoyed her happiness in solitude.

The holographic projection in front of Su Shiyi was an effect produced by the helmet. It had basic functions such as object recognition, playing music and videos, taking photos and videos, video communication, and automatic navigation. Although Su Shiyi didn’t think she would actually wear it out on the streets, that would be a bit too flashy.

So—are there any comic conventions? She wanted to take this battle armor on a national tour, no, a worldwide tour of exhibitions!
