Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, the middle-aged woman understood a little.

She shook her head helplessly, reaching out to touch Xiao Wen, whose eyes were still tear-stained.

"Since even the God Chosen adult doesn't have a good solution, then tomorrow I'll take Xiao Wen..."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Fan interrupted the middle-aged woman. "Aunt Shen, there's something I want to ask."

"Xiao Wen's right hand is a miracle blessed by God, so how dare Gao Li use it as collateral?"

"Isn't he afraid the Church will come after him?"

The middle-aged woman was stunned, shaking her head with a confused look. "I... I don't know either."

After thinking for a long time, she speculated, "Perhaps the Church doesn't care about this kind of thing?"

Chen Fan's eyes narrowed.

Is it that they don't care, or that they are intentionally allowing it?

It wasn't that he was being paranoid, but he had encountered similar incidents in his previous life.

Chen Fan looked at the boy beside him and said in a deep voice, "Aunt Shen, I'd like to take a good look at Xiao Wen's right hand, I wonder if..."

Facing the God Chosen's request, the middle-aged woman naturally didn't hesitate at all, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

Let alone just looking at Xiao Wen's right hand, in Chen Fan's opinion, even if he made a more excessive request, this fervent believer would agree to them one by one.

Under Chen Fan's gaze, the middle-aged woman reached out and pulled the timid little boy, who was hiding to the side, in front of her, then rolled up the boy's sleeve.

A delicate mechanical arm was clearly presented before Chen Fan's eyes!

The proportions of the entire mechanical prosthetic were extremely coordinated, with no visible energy supply device, no complex control lines...

Its craftsmanship was extremely fine, and the surface was even engraved with a large number of profound linear patterns.

This was simply a work of art!

At least, that's how it seemed to Chen Fan!

His expression changed slightly as he carefully examined the mechanical prosthetic before him.

Through those profound patterns, Chen Fan could clearly see the tiny gears and power supply lines on its surface that were still in operation.

Beside these power supply lines, which were as fine as hair, were scattered some miniature indicator lights that were flickering with a faint glow.

Chen Fan's gaze slowly moved upwards along the arm, finally stopping at the connection point between the mechanical prosthetic and the carbon-based body – there was a ring-shaped interface there, and the entire mechanical prosthetic was installed on this ring interface like a plug-in.

After some observation, Chen Fan reluctantly accepted a fact.

This was definitely not a technological creation within his scope of knowledge; even on Earth in his previous life, it would probably be impossible to create such a mechanical prosthetic!

The moment he reached this conclusion, Chen Fan felt his heart sink!

Since this mechanical prosthetic was a miracle bestowed by "God," it meant that the technology "God" possessed far exceeded his imagination!

In this way, the chance of him escaping his fate as a God Chosen instantly decreased significantly!

[Chen Fan?]

In his mind, One gently reminded him: [In visitor mode, the basic scanning power of the Intelligent Terminal is very low; scanning can only be completed through physical contact.]

It wasn't over yet!

He also had a "trump card"!

[One], this technological creation from a higher civilization, was his hope for a comeback!!

Thinking this, Chen Fan's heart settled slightly.

He extended his right hand and gently grasped this precise mechanical prosthetic.

The glove-shaped Intelligent Terminal did not block Chen Fan's sense of touch.

The entire mechanical prosthetic exuded a sharp, bone-chilling coldness from the inside out, and its smooth, rounded surface directly revealed the high-end craftsmanship it contained!

[Basic scan completed.]

As One's electronic synthesized voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind, having achieved his goal, Chen Fan naturally released his right hand that was holding the mechanical prosthetic.

Meeting the middle-aged woman's worried gaze, Chen Fan lied without changing his expression: "Aunt Shen, I have a general understanding of the situation."

"If possible, I will try my best to put in a good word for you with the Church's Deacon."

Hearing this, a genuine smile immediately appeared on the middle-aged woman's face.

After repeatedly thanking Chen Fan, she turned and knelt before the God Statue, pulling her child with her, and devoutly murmured words of gratitude to God.

The God Statue on the table was high above, silently watching everything happening in the room.

In Chen Fan's eyes, the faint smile on its lips seemed particularly dazzling.

Chen Fan shook his head almost imperceptibly.

He didn't linger, turning directly to leave this oppressive room.

Returning home, Chen Fan, his mind preoccupied with the mechanical prosthetic, didn't notice the slightly unusual expression on his mother's face in the living room.

Under his mother's hesitant gaze, he hurried back to his room.

"Click."

The door was locked tight.

Chen Fan's thoughts stirred, and the silver-white Intelligent Terminal appeared in his palm. "One, did you find anything?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brilliant blue light suddenly appeared before him, quickly forming a highly detailed holographic image that clearly displayed a 3D model of the mechanical prosthetic.

The next second, the mechanical prosthetic model was automatically disassembled into countless parts of varying sizes, and One's voice sounded simultaneously:

[The processing method for the parts is quite crude, and the precision of the various components is extremely low.]

[Garbage, a complete and utter piece of industrial waste!]

[I really don't know which ** designed the blueprints. This unit saw it and had to give him a big slap!]

Chen Fan stared blankly at the constantly floating holographic projection before him, his face numb as he raised a hand to pick at his ear.

Oh my god, the Intelligent Terminal is swearing now.

[Don't disbelieve it, everything this unit says is the truth!]

Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's actions, One's tone was particularly strong: [This unit even found 37 basic errors and 3 serious errors in its basic architecture.]

[The design of this thing is simply relying on a pile of crap!]

[Does such industrial waste deserve to be installed on a sentient being? He... tui!]

Chen Fan's eye twitched, and he asked in a low voice, somewhat uncomprehendingly, "Even if its design is a bit poor, your reaction isn't this extreme, is it?"

[You don't understand.]

[Let me give you a simple example. It's like you see the back of a beautiful woman on the street who scores 90 points, but when you turn around, it's a hairy, foot-picking big man.]

[And this foot-picking big man is wearing full makeup and constantly winking at you.]

[Perhaps the description is a bit exaggerated, but that's roughly the meaning.]

Chen Fan instantly shivered.

Alright, he already had a mental image.

After venting, One's resentment lessened considerably, and its tone returned to normal: [Overall, the technological content of this mechanical prosthetic is not high.]

[The internal power source is a micro fusion battery, which is a decent operation, but the manufacturing technology of the fusion battery is slightly crude.]

[The control method is outdated nerve and muscle control, which has a significant negative effect on that little boy's nervous system and is estimated to cause some negative impact on his brain development process.]

[As for the basic architecture and components... I've already given my evaluation just now.]
