A Little Invention

Luca had originally thought that his [Criminal Tracking Glasses] fell far short of Tony Stark's "EDITH Glasses" in terms of functionality. They didn't even have a voice assistant, so they might be rather cumbersome to operate.

Who knew this thing was controlled by brain waves??

"Dr. Agasa really knows his stuff when it comes to core technology!"

"Hmm, maybe not. It could also be a black-box ability forcibly added by the cheat to recreate the original."

Luca took off the glasses and rubbed his brow, feeling a headache coming on.

He'd originally thought that aside from its miniaturized integration, which was far ahead of its time, the glasses' technology was otherwise fairly ordinary. Maybe he could take them apart and try to copy them or something.

Now, how could Luca dare entertain such thoughts?

After trying to run, do a handstand, and shake his head, all without managing to dislodge the glasses from his face, Luca finally gave up.

"Forget it. As long as it works, that's all that matters."

In any case, Luca now had two of Dr. Agasa's "scientific gadgets," and his panel progress had consequently reached "2/5."

"Maybe I can deliberately try collecting three more items from the Conan World?"

It was true that the [Monkey Bomb] and [Hexcore] had already brought the items from the "Arcane World" to "2/5" as well.

However, for one thing, Luca still had no idea how to synthesize the [Hexcore]. And as for what kind of "Core Components" the items from the "Arcane World" required, Luca didn't have much of a clue yet, so he'd set the matter aside for the time being.

The items from the "Conan World," however, were different.

Whether it was the Solar Skateboard, Detective Badge, Elastic Suspenders, Soccer Belt, or the famous Stun-Gun Wristwatch—

It was immediately obvious what sort of "Core Components" these things might need.

Their corresponding "Core Components" were all ordinary everyday items that weren't difficult to obtain.

There was no need to have someone buy them in bulk. He could just visit a few shopping malls or toy stores and might be able to pick out and test a large number of them right away.

Luca was genuinely curious to see what would happen once he reached "5/5."

But it wasn't something he could accomplish right now.

After trying out a few more of the Tracking Glasses' functions, Luca left them on and continued working with Baymax to unpack the rest of the deliveries.

Unfortunately, perhaps he'd used up all his luck for the day. He didn't see another single glowing item.

Looking at the chaotic mess covering the living room floor, Luca hesitated for a moment.

"Hmm, I'll have the cleaners deal with it tomorrow."

He checked the time. It was almost ten o'clock. Stretching, Luca got up from the floor, ready to move on to his next task.

But before he could even steady himself, Shamira's voice came from the distance.

"Young master, you haven't eaten yet, have you... Hmm????"

Shamira had only just begun speaking as she walked into the living room when she immediately noticed the plump, white Baymax standing beside Luca. She froze on the spot.

Baymax, who had also heard Shamira's footsteps, turned around. A pale green light shone from his eyes as he began scanning her.

"Hello, I'm Baymax. The scan indicates multiple old injuries in your body. I recommend..."

Luca looked at Baymax as he launched into another long explanation and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

However, Luca didn't interrupt his analysis right away. He simply spoke up briefly between Baymax's descriptions of Shamira's physical condition.

"This is a medical care robot I just made."

"Perhaps you could listen to its assessment and advice, Aunt Shamira. It could be good for your health."

She was still rooted to the spot, mechanically processing the information Luca had given her.

Looking over the mess scattered across the living room, Shamira couldn't understand how all that jumble of stuff on the floor had been combined into such a sophisticated intelligent robot.

"Even to me, who knows nothing about this technology, this is..."

Luca found Shamira's dazed expression rather amusing, but he didn't explain any further.

He simply pointed at Baymax, indicating that she should listen carefully.

Then he stepped around the chaotic mess on the floor, went over to Shamira, and took the dinner she'd brought him.

Luca sat on the carpet, eating dinner as he watched Baymax explain how to care for her health to Shamira, who had finally come back to her senses. A faint smile appeared on his face.

Only after Baymax had finished rattling off the entire list of advice did Luca chime in.

"Baymax, don't scan anyone's physical condition without my permission from now on."

"Also, you need my consent before connecting to the internet or hacking into other electronic devices."

"Understood. This instruction has been added to my data protocol." (●-●)

At last, Shamira had a chance to speak. Looking at the plump white robot that could respond to Luca so naturally and even moved with such ease, she asked in amazement, "Young master, you... you really just made this?"

"Yeah, just a little invention."

Luca had already wolfed down everything on his plate. He gently set the dishes aside and gave her that answer without batting an eye.

It wasn't that Luca had to show off in front of those close to him.

It was just too much trouble to explain, so he could only gloss over it like this.

Shamira first curiously and cautiously poked Baymax's round belly. Then her expression darkened.

"I suppose this robot is something Young Master Luca painstakingly made because he wanted to treat Madam Gina, isn't it?"

Though she had thought of this, Shamira didn't ask him directly.

She'd been there when the doctor explained Gina's condition, so she understood the situation fairly well.

Shamira didn't think this robot could help Gina recover, either.

"Though the young master is a genius, electrical engineering and medicine are clearly different fields. Sigh, as long as he's happy."

But just as Shamira was thinking this, Luca spoke again.

"Aunt Shamira, come with me to the hospital tomorrow. I need Baymax to scan Mother's symptoms."

Shamira looked at Luca in surprise, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"Young master, you mean..."

"Yeah. Mother's illness might be treatable, but we need to confirm her symptoms first."
