Luca's idea for modifying the program, of course, wasn't as simple as changing a voice command.
As mentioned before, Baymax wasn't just a medical robot.
With a few adjustments, he could be quite capable in combat, too.
Considering that entering combat data, modifying some of his directives, and building Baymax external armor would all take a fair amount of time, Luca decided to put it off for now.
For the moment, what he wanted to do most was...
"Baymax, come help me open these packages!"
Looking at the random assortment of items piled all over the living room, even Luca felt a little overwhelmed.
"With all this junk scattered around, it's like opening a blind box."
Baymax, who had been given an order by Luca, tilted his head in confusion and looked at him.
"My database does not contain the instruction 'open packages.'"
"That's okay. Watch what I do next and learn first, then you can help."
At that, Baymax immediately stood up straight, his big eyes fixed on Luca's every move.
(●-●)
As it happened, most of the things in the living room were everyday items Luca had casually named off before having his people order them.
Everything from firearms and ammunition to baby toys and all sorts of electronics.
Basically, Luca had browsed around online, picked out whatever caught his eye, and told someone to order it—or go buy it from a store.
A small portion, on the other hand, consisted of items that Luca suspected might be Core Components, based on the high-tech gadgets he'd seen in movies and anime in his previous life.
Things like toy Poké Balls, costume accessories for certain cosplays, or glasses and watches—the sort of things that often got upgraded with sci-fi tech in movies and TV shows.
Still, Luca didn't have much hope that even one of these items would trigger the system's criteria.
Take shoes, for example.
If Luca hadn't already combined the Power-Enhancing Shoes, the odds of triggering the system with just one or two pairs his people had bought would have been incredibly slim.
Fortunately, money wasn't an issue.
All Luca had to do was open the packages and see if anything inside was glowing.
Besides, more than half of the things in the living room either had no packaging or came in transparent packaging. He could tell at a glance that they weren't Core Components.
That cut down his workload considerably.
"But if there's a next time, I'll have them remove all the packaging before they bring the stuff to me."
"Would you like me to contact someone else to help you resolve the problem?" (●-●)
"Uh, no, it's fine. I was just talking to myself."
It was his first time doing something like this, and Luca still hadn't gotten used to thinking like a wealthy capitalist. He'd only thought of doing it himself so he could check everything personally.
"Never mind. Let's get this over with."
With that, Luca headed for the biggest package in the living room.
It was a little over two meters long, packaged in a rigid rectangular box. At first glance, it looked like a door lying flat on the floor.
Well, it actually was a door.
Luca had found it while browsing online: a pink wooden door with a frame, made entirely of wood. According to the seller, it could be used as a girl's bedroom door.
When he'd said he wanted to buy it, Shamira had given him a strange look for quite a while.
But Luca wanted to try it out because its design looked remarkably similar to Doraemon's Anywhere Door.
Even if he got his hands on something so convenient, he doubted he'd be able to gather the materials needed to combine it. Still, a person had to have dreams, right?
"Uh, as expected, it doesn't work?"
He didn't even need to open the package all the way. After cutting a corner, Luca could already tell there wasn't a trace of white light.
"Why am I so reluctant to give up? Maybe I should check out the manufacturer's warehouse later."
Thinking that Tony Stark would probably just buy the factory and have them work around the clock, Luca felt that he really wasn't rich enough.
A little disappointed, he turned his attention to the other items.
"Poké Ball, no! Capsule, no! White pouch, no!"
"Baymax, catch!"
He took another utility knife and casually tossed it to Baymax.
Watching Baymax carefully grip the knife and clumsily imitate his movements, Luca's mood immediately improved.
Unfortunately, it didn't stay that way for long.
"Backpack, no! No, no..."
He'd already opened dozens of packages and checked all the junk he thought might have something to do with spatial items, but not a single one had been a winner.
"Figures. Anything involving a blind box can only end in disappointment!"
"Your mood seems to be fluctuating. Please provide me with psychological counseling materials as soon as possible." (●-●)
Seeing Luca helplessly drop his utility knife on the floor, Baymax immediately stopped working and looked over. His movements had already become much more practiced.
"Uh, it's fine. Let's just keep working."
Luca had taken hit after hit and no longer expected to find anything. He was about to turn into a heartless package-opening machine when he noticed the long, narrow box Baymax was carefully holding in his chubby hand.
"That too... Wait! Is that...?!"
"This is a package." (●-●)
Ignoring Baymax's obvious answer, Luca—who had already gone numb—quickly snatched the box from him.
"Damn, finally got a hit!"
"Good job, Baymax!" Luca said, giving him a thumbs-up.
Baymax looked at his now-empty hand, then at Luca, who had suddenly become excited for some reason. His round eyes blinked in puzzlement.
Unaware of Baymax's expression, Luca was focused entirely on the box in his hands.
Well, not the box itself, but the black half-rim glasses resting quietly inside the long glasses case.
He reached in and took out the black glasses, which gave off a faint glow. A pale blue panel popped up at once.
