"Singer, could you make some small robots to help me with production?"

"No problem. I can create some small robots specifically for producing human prosthetic limbs. That would eliminate the limitations of equipment and allow for greater flexibility."

Hearing Singer's answer, Chen Feng felt reassured. If he could make some small robots, then his workshop would become a fully coordinated operation between robots and mechanical arms. With Singer directing everything, it could become a completely automated workshop.

"Then help me design some robots right away. I want them to work in coordination with the equipment I bought."

Singer immediately began the design optimization process. However, optimizing and designing a new robot was still rather difficult, and it might take Singer more than half a month.

After all, this was different from the robots designed for Li Zhengyang and the others. A robot designed for Li Zhengyang only needed to meet the requirements of the National Robot Competition. But a small robot designed for Chen Feng's factory had to be compatible with the factory equipment and capable of coordinated operation. Otherwise, it would be useless.

Chen Feng also thought of something else. Since small robots could be designed, offensive robots could be designed as well. But he quickly cast the idea aside. There was no need for that yet.

After Li Zhengyang received the robot Chen Feng had mailed him, he opened it, and his roommates were immediately stunned.

"My God, what is this? Is this a Gundam?"

"Chen Feng actually designed a Gundam? Hurry up and check the manual. Does it have Gundam functions?"

Li Zhengyang immediately opened the manual. After reading it for a while, he shook his head.

"How could it be a Gundam? It's just a robot, but it's the strongest robot I've ever seen. Whether in appearance or functionality, it's among the very best. With this thing, I can definitely shine in the National Robot Competition and maybe even place high enough to participate in the international Global Robot Competition."

"It's that amazing?"

For Zhao Zhipeng, the recent events had been rather overwhelming. First, Chen Feng had turned out to be the CEO of the now wildly popular Corona Technology Company, or at the very least, the person behind it.

Chen Feng had been their roommate for years, yet they had never noticed that he possessed such ability. It was as if he had suddenly changed, and Zhao Zhipeng truly did not know how to make sense of it all.

"Chen Feng's future is limitless. We need to work harder too and try not to hold him back."

Sun Daoming said with a sigh.

"Don't worry. We'll definitely work hard. Even if we can't reach Chen Feng's current heights, we can't just waste our lives away like this."

Chen Feng did not know what they were thinking. To him, they would always be his classmates. Although they had not been in touch much recently because he was busy, he still chatted with them whenever he had free time.

Chen Qingyi had awakened during this period, but her life now seemed to be filled with nothing but gray.

"Mom, I can't feel my legs."

Chen Feng's aunt was peeling fruit beside Chen Qingyi. When she heard her daughter's words, tears began to fall.

"My daughter, you must live bravely. Nothing is more important than life."

But despite her mother's words, Chen Qingyi had lost her legs, along with the ability to move freely and so many other things. And in the future, who would want a girl with no legs? She would simply be a burden.

"What should I do?"

"Aren't there many prosthetic limbs on the market? With those, you can stand up again."

But prosthetic limbs still looked far too strange. If she wore them, she might draw judgmental looks from others, and finding work in the future would be troublesome as well.

"I understand, Mom. I'll definitely live on bravely."

But Chen Qingyi's heart had already died. Even though she said those words to her mother, she still could not find new life within herself.

After Chen Qingyi's mother finished peeling the apple, she handed it directly to her daughter. Fortunately, her daughter's hands were still intact. If she had lost both hands as well, it would have been a truly devastating blow.

During this period, the hit-and-run driver had been caught. But even though he had been caught, her daughter's legs could not come back.

Knock, knock, knock.

Hearing someone knock at the door, Chen Qingyi's mother walked over and opened it, only to find Chen Feng outside.

"Chen Feng, you're here. Qingyi, your cousin came to see you."

After Chen Feng entered the hospital room, he felt a suffocating atmosphere hanging in the air. It was true—everything was far too oppressive for this girl.

Chen Qingyi was also very happy to hear that her cousin had come. Her cousin had always treated her well and often bought her candy when they were children.

"Qingyi, are you alright? How are you feeling now?"

Chen Feng walked to Chen Qingyi's side and placed the snacks he had bought on her bedside table. They were all things Chen Qingyi liked to eat. Seeing this once-lively girl reduced to this state made his heart ache.

When Chen Qingyi saw that Chen Feng had brought so much of her favorite candy, tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Cousin, my legs are gone. What am I supposed to do?"

"Don't be afraid. There will always be a way."

Chen Qingyi had also learned recently that her cousin was very capable. He was the boss behind Corona Technology Company, which had now become a highly sought-after company. The Virtual Reality Helmet it had developed had helped many people.

The Rising Star Program had immense appeal throughout the country. Under such circumstances, she admired her cousin more and more.

"Cousin, can I try your helmet? Give me one of your helmets."

Chen Feng knew what Chen Qingyi was thinking. Escaping reality in virtual reality was not a bad idea, but the current Virtual Reality Helmet was still not immersive enough. Perhaps once its sense of immersion became stronger, it would allow people like her to experience a different kind of life.

"If you like it, I'll give you one right away."
