Research robots had higher requirements than normal combat robots in certain aspects. Not only were the raw materials expensive, but some of the spare parts were also troublesome.
It was a waste of time, and Luke had to get the Everything Merchant to do the transaction.
No matter how much money Luke had, he couldn't let Dr. Stern do this.
Unrestrained researchers could burn the wealth of the entire Earth to the ground.
Luke was just a shareholder of a few companies, not the God of Earth.
He had to save on unnecessary expenses if he could.
Of course, he had already made his stand clear, so he still had to give him the item.
After Luke personally "negotiated" with Claudia and Ophelia, they readily agreed to cooperate with the research.
However, in order to avoid troublesome things like the instant destruction of the research robot, Dr. Shi Deng definitely could not plan to cut it open and study it bit by bit.
It wasn't that Luke wanted to give the two women preferential treatment, but that they weren't normal in the first place.
It was easy for them to go completely crazy, but it would be difficult to get them to cooperate in future experiments.
What was more interesting was that after the two women accepted the conditions of the "negotiation", they finally became "excited".
They all expressed their willingness to participate in the research, rather than simply be studied.
In exchange for actively participating in the research, they had the right to reject some of Dr. Shi Deng's experimental projects.
No one wanted to be ordered around like a monkey, and neither did they.
Dr. Shi Deng, the "catfish," had achieved the desired effect. It could be said that he had tapped into the potential of Luke's research project.
Luke really wasn't a professional in biotechnology, nor was he interested.
All he needed to do was spend some money and equipment on these three doctors. He didn't need to participate in this research himself. All he needed to do was "harvest" the results on a regular basis.
…
Joseph was sent back by Mindy just after ten at night.
Even though Joseph was wearing the nano armor, it was still necessary.
Mindy was only fourteen, but she was definitely more of an adult than nine-year-old Joseph.
Besides, as the older brother, he could not create opportunities for the younger brother, but at the very least, he could not mess around blindly.
When they said goodbye at the door, Luke finally popped out. "Don't you want to come in? Mindy. "
Startled, Mindy relaxed. "Luke, you're back?"
Luke nodded and said with a smile, "Do you want me to drive you back?"
Mindy rolled her eyes. "I'm already in the tenth grade, okay?"
Luke shrugged. "Fine, I'll drop by tomorrow. I'll give you a small gift."
Mindy's eyes lit up. "What gift?"
Luke said, "A handicraft."
Mindy wasn't disappointed.
The long saber that Luke had given her last time was quite good. She didn't use it much, but she still liked it.
Just like the dozens of butterfly knives she owned, collecting exquisite cold weapons was a personal hobby, and one could never have too many.
The Almighty Merchant also had special cold weapons, but he had to spend points to buy them, which was completely different from a gift.
Mindy waved goodbye happily and rode her bike back to her home across the river.
Joseph pushed his bicycle in and parked it at the entrance. As he walked up the stairs, he asked casually, "Did your business trip go well?"
Luke said, "Well, not bad."
Sensing Joseph's emotions, Luke secretly chuckled. "Fine, you got a gift too."
Joseph's mood clearly improved, but he said, "I'm not a child."
Luke chuckled. "You mean Mindy is still young?"
Joseph curled his lips. "She probably won't grow up in this lifetime."
Luke didn't refute that.
He said that Mindy wouldn't grow up because she was a little childish, not that she was immature.
A moment later, Luke pretended to go upstairs and gave Joseph two big boxes while holding back his laughter. "This is a gift for you."
Joseph looked at him suspiciously. "Can I dismantle it now?"
Luke nodded and took a leisurely sip of his coffee.
There wasn't any extra packaging in the boxes, and they were simply tied in a bow with a red ribbon.
With a casual tug, Joseph opened the lid of the box. When he saw what was inside, his face was filled with shock.
He wasn't sure. He took the thing out of the box and turned it around in front of him, before he was 100% sure that it was a motorcycle helmet.
It wasn't a big deal to give a motorcycle helmet as a gift, but the helmet was pink, and there was a cartoon cat's mustache and mouth on the front, forming a cute cat's face.
Joseph turned his head and looked at Luke:???
Luke raised his hand with a smile. "There's another one."
Joseph's hands moved quickly and he opened the second box. When he saw the black color, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. "This is what I'm wearing, right?"
Luke burst out laughing. "Yo, do you still want to wear that girly makeup?"
Joseph glared at his brother angrily. "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"
He finally came back to himself.
Luke had deliberately placed the pink helmet close to him just now so that he could open the box first.
In fact, the gift was a couple's helmet.
The two helmets were similar, but the black one for men didn't have any extra decorations, while the pink one for girls had a cartoon cat face.
After complaining about his mischievous brother, Joseph's mind spun quickly. "You didn't give her a motorcycle, did you?"
Luke nodded and confirmed that his speculation was correct. "That's right."
Joseph had a strange expression on his face. "So, you gave me two motorcycle helmets, but you gave her a motorcycle?"
Luke sipped his coffee leisurely. "That's right."
Joseph wanted to complain, but didn't know what to say for a moment.
Luke, however, explained, "You're a boy. You have to be careful when you get on a motorcycle, and you have to take good care of yourself. Also, you've been training with her for so long. Should I have given her a helmet? "
Joseph finally couldn't help it. "What I mean is, you didn't split the original gift into two sets, did you?"
Luke quickly shook his head. "How could I? If it was a set, why would I specially prepare a helmet for you? Aren't you satisfied with the gift of a free driver for a car? "
Joseph was lost for words. The next day, Mindy jumped for joy when she received the motorcycle.
It wasn't a regular motorcycle, but one that Luke had specially modified for her. It was especially suitable for her short legs.
The motorcycle was streamlined and eye-catching in pinkish-purple. It was small, but it was heavy enough for it to go at a high speed.
With the nano armor and the couple's helmet that Luke had specially prepared for them, they wouldn't have to worry about their lives.
Not only that, it also had the function of transforming the shell, switching license plates, and quickly changing colors, which was similar to Bell's taxi.
Not only that, it also had the function of changing parts of the shell, switching license plates, and quickly changing colors, which was similar to Bell's taxi.
On a straight road, it could also assist the driver in driving, freeing up their hands for a short period of time.
Luke also had a fully automated motorcycle, but it had to use super wide tires. It would be too eye-catching, and would definitely attract a lot of attention. It wasn't suitable for these two underage girls.
Mindy and Joseph could use this civilian version of the motorcycle for daily transportation.
