Li Wei opened the card with the excitement of a pilgrim.

[Congratulations on your ten consecutive draws. You have received the following rewards.] [Survival Pack: Contains various medical supplies.] [Healing Syringe x3.] [Braindance Device: A device from the Cyberpunk World that lets you experience various braindances as if you were really 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.]

He had gotten nine items in one go, and Li Wei felt a little flustered.

The Braindance Device and White Contract seemed like decent rewards, but in reality, both could be purchased from the shop, and neither was expensive.

Now, Li Wei could only look forward to the guaranteed reward for the ten-draw pull.

"I'm never gambling again!"

Li Wei painfully opened the guaranteed reward.

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the guaranteed reward for the ten-draw pull.] [Brain-Computer Interface Design Data: Future technology from the Cyberpunk World, possessing functions such as enhancing human capabilities.]

"Gamblers never die well! Where's my wife?!"

Li Wei collapsed onto the bed in despair.

However, he was an optimistic person and quickly consoled himself.

"It's not useless. If we manage to develop it, Future Technology Company will take off."

Li Wei muttered to himself.

This was a Brain-Computer Interface. If they managed to develop it, anyone fitted with prosthetics could truly become a "cybernetic Superman."

That was because a Brain-Computer Interface converted the information in their brains into movement commands that computers could understand, greatly increasing their reaction speed.

And with a Brain-Computer Interface, they could also research all kinds of prosthetics, including things like the [Sandevistan] that slowed the passage of time...

At that point, becoming a time-stopping sword saint probably wouldn't be too difficult, right?

Of course, at this stage, it was definitely meant to make things more convenient for people fitted with prosthetics.

Even after thoroughly comforting himself, Li Wei still tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, he simply took out the Braindance and started watching it.

In the Cyberpunk World, a braindance was a virtual-reality technology similar to an immersive VR device. It also provided a first-person perspective by completely recording visual, auditory, tactile, and other sensory data through a device implanted in the human body.

It was completely immersive.

Li Wei looked through the options and chose Jurassic World.

This one at least seemed relatively normal.

After that, he no longer needed to sleep at all.

What the hell? It actually had adult content!

All the dinosaurs in Jurassic World were played by humans. Getting caught would be a tragedy!

People in the future really knew how to have fun!

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

"2B, what are you doing?"

Just as he reached the crucial moment in his dream, 2B woke him up.

He saw 2B lying on top of him in a bizarre position, staring at him expressionlessly.

2B was wearing a mask, so Li Wei couldn't even see her eyes.

"Nothing. It seems that Master was having a nightmare."

2B spoke doubtfully.

"Was that a nightmare?"

Li Wei was helpless. If that was a nightmare, then he hoped it would come every day.

Of course, he wanted it to reach the final scene!

It couldn't always stop right at the climax!

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

"2B, this belongs to you."

So that was why 2B had no weapon—he had to draw it from the lottery!

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

"White Contract!"

2B's emotions seemed to fluctuate, and the hint of a smile appeared on her face.

It was a small sword, so it could not be considered a large weapon for 2B.

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 uses magnetic attachment technology. There's a magnetic levitation field on my back."

Well, 2B really was full of treasures. Her entire body was packed with advanced technology.

This technology allowed her body to remain unaffected by the weapon's weight.

"Thank you, Master."

2B pounced directly onto Li Wei, nearly hanging all three hundred pounds of herself on him.

Li Wei hurriedly patted her thigh, making her let go.

Why didn't he pat somewhere else?

Because everywhere else was covered completely.

After washing up, Li Wei went out with 2B and decided to eat breakfast outside.

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

But after getting 2B, he abandoned that idea. After all, they would all be outsiders, and he had many secrets.

So all these tasks fell to 2B...

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

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

In Li Wei's eyes, she was the legendary fairy who never needed to use the bathroom...

Tony Stark had not appeared at all yesterday, nor had he responded to Li Wei. Naturally, the news had lost its momentum.

After all, Li Wei had not actually been harmed.

In this era of entertainment to the death, major news could happen at any moment.

Sometimes, to suppress a trending topic, people would even deliberately expose a celebrity scandal to divert attention.

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

No wonder people said that one had to become famous early.

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

When they arrived at the company, Gwen Stacy asked anxiously.

She had only learned about it last night from George Stacy, who had just returned home.

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

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

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

"Nothing serious. You know how strong they are."

Li Wei spoke casually.

"But you were in too much danger."

Gwen spoke up.

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

Gwen's pretty face flushed. "I have to study."

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

Li Wei joked.

"Then my dad will beat me to death."

Gwen hesitated.

It seemed that she was taking him seriously.

Li Wei hurriedly changed the subject. "Come on. Let's go find Doctor Otto."

Gwen glanced at 2B, who was following close behind them. 2B's weapon was inconvenient to carry, so she had not kept it strapped to her back at all times.

Instead, she had left it in the car.

"Doctor Otto hasn't rested for several days, and his dark circles are really bad. Boss, you still need to make sure he takes care of himself."

Gwen reminded Li Wei.

"I know, but Doctor Otto is an idealist. People like that are rarely influenced by the outside world."

Li Wei shrugged.

He had come into contact with quite a few scientists, but all of them were "oddballs."

Each of them had a unique personality. Their one thing in common was that they refused to listen to advice and were extremely stubborn.

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

'Prosthetics Laboratory.'

The prosthetics produced by Future Technology Company were not cheap, costing at least fifty thousand dollars on average. They incorporated technologies such as intelligent sensing and 3D printing, and their appearance was almost identical to the original body part. Once covered by clothing, it was absolutely impossible to tell the difference.
