Li Wei lifted the card like a pilgrim, filled with excitement.

[Congratulations on completing a ten-pull. You have received the following rewards.] [Sustenance Pack: Contains various medical supplies.] [Health Injection x3.] [Braindance Device: A device from the Cyberpunk World that allows you to experience various Braindances as if you were there. Please use with caution and beware of addiction!] [Braindance x3: Life Is But a Dream, Legend of the Afterlife, Jurassic World.] [White Contract: YoRHa 2B's exclusive weapon. Approximately 139 cm long and weighing 25 kg.]

Nine items had come out at once, and Li Wei felt a little unsettled.

The Braindance Device and White Contract did not seem like bad deals, but they could both be bought in the store, and they were not even expensive.

Now, Li Wei could only look to the guaranteed reward from the ten-pull.

"I'm never being a gambling addict again!"

Li Wei painfully flipped over the guaranteed reward.

[Congratulations, Host, on receiving the guaranteed ten-pull reward.] [Brain-Computer Interface Design Materials: Future technology from the Cyberpunk World, capable of enhancing human functions and more.]

"Damn gambling addicts! Where are my wives?!"

Li Wei collapsed onto the bed in despair.

But he was an optimistic person, and he quickly comforted himself.

"This isn't useless. If we can develop it, Future Technology Company will take off."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

This was a Brain-Computer Interface. If they could develop it, people fitted with prosthetics would truly become "cyber superhumans."

The Brain-Computer Interface would convert information from their brains into movement commands a computer could understand, vastly improving their reaction speed.

And with a Brain-Computer Interface, they could research all kinds of prosthetics, such as a Sandevistan that slowed the passage of time...

At that point, becoming a time-stopping Sword Saint probably would not be difficult, right?

Of course, at this stage, it was definitely meant to make life easier for people with prosthetics.

Even after thoroughly reassuring himself, Li Wei still tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

So he simply took out a Braindance and watched it.

In the Cyberpunk World, Braindances were virtual reality technology similar to immersive VR. They offered a first-person experience, fully recording sensory data such as sight, sound, and touch through devices implanted in the human body.

It was completely immersive.

Li Wei took a look and chose Jurassic World.

No matter how he looked at it, this one seemed more normal.

Then he no longer needed sleep at all.

This fucking thing was pornographic!

The dinosaurs in Jurassic World were all played by humans, and getting caught was a miserable experience!

Future people really knew how to have fun!

Li Wei had a dream. In it, he became a hero who ventured into another world, rescuing his trapped wives one by one, and then...

"2B, what are you doing?"

He had just reached the crucial moment of his dream when 2B woke him up.

2B was sprawled on top of him in a strange position, staring at him expressionlessly.

2B wore a visor, so Li Wei could not even see her eyes.

"Nothing. It just seemed that Master was having a nightmare."

2B spoke with confusion.

"Was that a nightmare?"

Li Wei was helpless. If that was a nightmare, then please let him have one every day.

Of course, it had to reach the final part!

It could not always end so abruptly!

After getting up and rinsing his mouth, Li Wei thought of something.

"2B, this is yours."

So that was why 2B had no weapon—he had needed to draw it first!

A weapon over a meter long appeared. The moment 2B saw it, she immediately ran over.

"White Contract!"

2B's emotions seemed to fluctuate, and a faint smile appeared.

It was a small sword, not a large weapon by 2B's standards.

Her large weapon was that terrifying greatsword.

Even so, it was more than enough for 2B to use. She directly strapped White Contract to her back.

"Huh?"

Li Wei looked at her.

2B immediately explained, "This is adhesion technology. I have a magnetic levitation field on my back."

Well then, 2B truly was a treasure from head to toe, packed full of high technology.

This technology kept her body from being affected by the weapon's weight.

"Thank you, Master."

2B directly pounced onto Li Wei. Nearly three hundred pounds of weight hung from his body.

Li Wei hurriedly patted her thigh, telling her to let go of him.

Why did he not pat somewhere else?

Because everything else was covered tightly.

After washing up, Li Wei headed out with 2B. They might as well have breakfast outside.

Li Wei had originally planned to hire a butler, servants, and maids.

But after getting 2B, he no longer had that idea. After all, they would all be outsiders, and he had many secrets.

So all those matters fell onto 2B...

The Maybach arrived in Manhattan. Li Wei got out to buy something and fill his stomach.

2B was an android and did not need to eat to replenish energy.

To Li Wei, she was the legendary little fairy who never needed to use the bathroom...

Tony Stark had not appeared all day yesterday, nor had he responded to Li Wei's words, so the news naturally lost its heat.

After all, Li Wei had not actually been harmed.

In this era of entertainment above all else, major news could break at any moment.

And sometimes, to suppress public attention, celebrity scandals would be deliberately exposed to divert attention.

So it was not easy for Li Wei to gain exposure!

No wonder people said fame had to come early, right?

"Boss, I heard something happened to you yesterday."

Upon arriving at the company, Gwen Stacy asked anxiously.

She had only learned the news last night from George Stacy after he returned home.

She had wanted to call Li Wei, but it was already too late, so she waited until today.

Seeing the anxiety on her face, Li Wei pinched her pretty cheek.

A twenty-year-old girl really did have plenty of collagen.

"It was nothing. You know how capable they are."

Li Wei said casually.

"But you were in too much danger."

Gwen said.

"What? Are you going to protect me personally?"

That made Gwen blush. "I need to study."

"That's fine. You can move in with me."

Li Wei joked.

"Then my dad will beat me to death."

Gwen said, conflicted.

It felt like she was taking it seriously.

Li Wei hurriedly changed the subject. "Come on, let's go see Dr. Otto."

Gwen glanced at 2B, who followed closely behind them. 2B's weapon was inconvenient to carry, so she did not keep it strapped to her back at all times.

Instead, she left it in the car.

"Dr. Otto hasn't rested for days. His dark circles are terrible. Boss, you should still make him take care of himself."

Gwen reminded Li Wei.

"I know, but Dr. Otto is a man with ideals. People like that are rarely influenced by the outside world."

Li Wei shrugged.

He had met plenty of scientists by now, but all of them were "weirdos."

Every one of them had a unique personality. What they had in common was that they would not listen to advice and were extremely stubborn.

After entering the elevator, Li Wei and the others headed to the laboratory.

"Prosthetics Laboratory."

Future Technology Company's prosthetics were not cheap. On average, they cost at least fifty thousand dollars, incorporating technologies such as intelligent sensing and 3D printing. They also looked nearly identical to the original limbs, and once covered by clothing, the difference would be impossible to notice.
