He stepped forward and pressed his hand onto the red medical case, and a pale blue panel instantly popped up.

[Baymax]

[Big Hero 6 World 1/5]

[Creator: Tadashi Hamada]

[Core Component: Red Medical Case]

[Synthesis Materials: 1 smart chip containing medical data, 1 carbon fiber robot skeleton, 1 humanoid inflatable toy, 1 can of medical spray, 1 lithium-ion battery, 1 small scanner, 1 small projector]

[Item Description: Inflatable medical robot. A high-tech medical robot that can be stored in the medical case anytime, anywhere. It stores tens of thousands of pieces of medical knowledge and possesses an AI with powerful learning capabilities. Beyond its health monitoring and emergency treatment functions, it also boasts the advantages of being lightweight, sturdy, and capable of exerting great force. It is a highly qualified, professional-grade medical companion.]

[Friendly Reminder: Of course, if your mechanical engineering skills are reliable enough, it might be far more than just a simple medical robot~]

Yes, the brand-new "core component" Luca had scavenged this time could synthesize none other than Baymax from Big Hero 6.

It was just a pity that this version of Baymax wasn't the combat-ready robot upgraded by the protagonist Hiro Hamada, but the initial medical version created by his older brother, Tadashi Hamada.

As for it being a "scavenged core component," that was technically accurate.

Luca had considered this while keeping his mother, Gina, company at the hospital.

Perhaps he could use his cheat to synthesize some kind of black-tech medical device to cure her.

If he wanted a black-tech medical instrument, the probability of finding the "core component" to serve as its base was naturally higher in a hospital.

However, Luca had originally set his sights on the existing equipment in the hospital or various bottled medicines.

Who would have thought that, through a twist of fate, this discarded, ordinary medical case would be the one to successfully trigger the cheat's criteria.

This is fine too. The level of technology in Big Hero 6 seems to be significantly higher than the 2012 reality. Perhaps the tens of thousands of medical records stored in Baymax really do contain a way to cure Gina.

Even if they don't, having an extra combat unit that's easy to modify isn't bad either.

Indeed, although the "friendly reminder" on the panel seemed to be mocking Luca's lack of scientific research ability.

In reality, while he might not be able to do what the movie's protagonist Hiro Hamada did—upgrading Baymax into a low-end version of the Mark ArmorLuca could certainly handle adding some armor or inputting combat data.

Having been influenced by his father's guidance before he passed, and having participated in so many robot competitions where he built his own mechanical weapons, he wasn't exactly a complete novice.

Perhaps he couldn't compare to the freakish geniuses in this Marvel Universe who could hand-craft armor and invent black technology in their teens, but in the world of ordinary people, he was definitely a talented youth.

Luca, having inherited everything from the original owner, could now be considered an entry-level electromechanical engineer.

Pulling his hand back from the medical case, Luca didn't bother looking for a paper cutter; he simply used his key to slice open the large box sent by the company.

Inside, scattered about, were many of the materials he needed.

Moreover, considering the uncertainty of the material requirements for the cheat's synthesis, he had prepared many different models of these components.

After drawing circles on the floor with chalk, he placed the red medical case solemnly in the center.

For the next step, Luca did not take out the carbon fiber mechanical skeleton customized by the company, nor the inflatable doll modeled after his own sketches of Baymax.

Instead, he pulled out a robot skeleton that was only about the size of his palm, and a cheap-looking, ordinary Greninja inflatable toy that wasn't much larger than the frame.

This palm-sized robot skeleton was actually something Luca had printed using carbon fiber on his home 3D printer, based on the simplest robot toy he had made as a child, as recalled from the original owner's memories.

The reason he had specifically dug out these two unrelated items was that Luca wanted to test the limits of his cheat.

With a mix of anticipation and nervousness, Luca first placed the robot skeleton—which might struggle to even walk two steps—into a separate large circle in the center of the array.

The next moment, the plain, crude mechanical skeleton actually lit up with a white glow, which slowly connected with the white light emanating from the red medical case.

"This... it actually works?!"

Seeing this, even Luca found it hard to believe.

One had to realize that, regardless of the complexity of the original Baymax's mechanical structure, its height was at least comparable to that of an average human.

Yet now, his palm-sized, crude skeleton could actually be used as a material??

"So, it really is just a matter of the name matching? As long as the size isn't specified, anything can pass the check regardless of how big or small it is??"

"What about the quantity of materials? What about the conservation of mass?"

As soon as he said this, Luca slapped himself in the face.

"I'm such an idiot. Why am I talking about the conservation of mass with a cheat? Isn't it better the more broken this thing is?!"

Well, slapping himself actually hurt quite a bit, so he just tapped his cheek lightly to make a point, not even making a sound.

His gaze returned to the circular array.

After confirming that the mechanical skeleton had passed the check, Luca placed the Greninja inflatable toy into another circle within the array.

However, this time, the Greninja doll did not light up with white light like the mechanical skeleton had.

"???"

"What's going on? Looking down on Greninja? This is clearly a humanoid Pokémon with hands and feet!"

Luca, refusing to believe it, took out the Greninja and picked an Ultraman doll of similar size to place in the array.

This time, the inflatable doll finally lit up, and the white light connected once again.

"What... kind of mysterious judgment is this?"

"Forget it, as long as it lit up, it's fine."

Although there were still many unclear aspects regarding the exploration of this cheat, it could at least be considered some progress.

Luca didn't dwell on it any further. After simply recording this information, he placed all the other customized materials into the magic circle one by one.

A smart chip containing only one medical textbook, a canned medical spray, a semi-finished lithium battery from the laboratory, a crude scanner with absurdly low precision, and a mini projector with atrocious pixel quality.

There were no more accidents this time; all items passed the magic circle's judgment.

The massive circular magic circle was completely filled with white light.

Luca slammed both hands onto the edge of the circle and silently chanted, "Synthesize."

The white light surged before contracting violently.

In the end, only a red box with a completely transformed appearance remained in the center of the magic circle.
