Why didn't you tell me earlier that my little sister is still waiting for me?

When Lin Bufan found Zhan Bo, he was lying at the foot of the mecha, studying the hydraulic system at the joint with a magnifying glass, muttering to himself, "This transmission structure... is so exquisite..."

"Zhanbo!" Lin Bufan pulled him up and said, "The organization has decided to appoint you as the chief engineer of mecha design. You will be the one to answer questions from reporters!"

Zhan Bo put away the magnifying glass and said in bewilderment, "Ah? But I still don't even understand what kind of energy system this mecha uses!"

"That's exactly the effect we want!" Lin Bufan patted Zhan Bo's shoulder and lowered his voice: "Just talk about quantum mechanics and dark matter energy. The more mysterious the better!"

Zhanbo's eyes lit up: "I see! Just like those formulas in my paper that I couldn't even understand?"

"That's right! Use your imagination when writing your paper!" Lin Bufan first praised Zhan Bo, then added: "But this time we need to spice it up a bit—incorporate traditional elements like Tai Chi Bagua and the Five Elements. Say that the mecha utilizes the principles of yin and yang balance and the Three Elements formation of heaven, earth, and man!"

"But I don't understand any of this!" Zhanbo said with an embarrassed look on his face. "I've only seen the use of the Book of Changes to deduce nuclear fission trajectories in my cousin's paper!"

"...your cousin is a talented person." Lin Bufan patted Zhanbo's shoulder with a twitch of his lips. "In short, Zhanbo, you only need to remember one thing: the more mysterious the better, so that those people will be confused and dare not question it on the spot!"

After leaving the exhibition hall, Lin Bufan went straight to Gu Jia's fireworks design team next to him.

In the makeshift studio, Gu Jia was discussing the final plan with the designers.

"Sister Gu!" Lin Bufan leaned over and asked with a smile, "How are the fireworks preparations going?"

When Gu Jia turned around, Lin Bufan noticed the faint dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she hadn't slept well the previous night, but her eyes were surprisingly bright. "After discussing with Mr. Lu Zhanbo, we have designed several special-effect fireworks—the energy pulse effect when the mecha is activated, the trailing fireworks during flight, and the explosive fireworks in combat mode..."

After introducing the special effects fireworks on the mecha, Gu Jia clicked on the 3D simulation on the tablet: "When the mecha rises to its highest point, the ground will cooperate to ignite the Xiaobaizi Technology logo fireworks with an explosion diameter of over meters..."

After listening to Gu Jia's introduction, Lin Bufan was still very satisfied. However, he still felt that something was missing. After all, with so many good (girlfriends) coming today, he couldn't help but express his opinion. The mecha cannot only be futuristic, but also romantic!

Lin Bufan pointed to a spot on the design and said, "Sister Gu, what do you think about adding some pink heart-shaped fireworks here?"

Gu Jia's mouth twitched: "This is a technology conference, not a proposal scene. Isn't this inappropriate? And it doesn't match the overall style..."

Lin Bufan thought about it and it made sense, so he could only smack his lips regretfully. However, Lin Bufan soon came up with an idea: "Then let the mecha's palm launch heart fireworks, right?"

Gu Jia held her forehead and said helplessly, "That one has already been made into a starburst special effect firework... Besides, it's a bit too late to modify it now!"

Seeing that things were impossible, Lin Bufan had to give up using fireworks and hearts, but he still had to add the romantic element, so Lin Bufan went straight into the cockpit to discuss with Odebiao!

As soon as Lin Bufan entered the cockpit of the mecha, Odebiao's electronic voice immediately sounded: "Master, the energy is full, and all systems have been checked!"

Lin Bufan put on the neural link helmet and felt the wonderful feeling of becoming one with the mecha: "Odebiao, let's do this... and then this..."

"Understood! I've recorded your cup-filling... ahem, demonstrating the process." Odebiao's electronic voice suddenly lowered. "But Master, according to the surveillance footage, Sangbiao is wandering backstage. His eyes look a little strange, and he might be up to something..."

At 8:00 PM, the press conference venue was already packed with people. The Lucy team's live camera swept across the audience, and the comments instantly exploded:

"The second most handsome guy at the Beijing Arts Academy: Isn't that our Beijing Arts Academy's President Kang in the front row?! Why is he at the mecha press conference? What's going on? Is this a crossover?"

"Bald Physics Department Doctor: And that guy wearing sunglasses, looks like Ye Jinyan from Jingyan Group? Isn't he in real estate?"

"Believe it or not, I'll bite you: Oh, oh, oh, look at that dog. Why does it have the right to sit on a chair by itself? Who is so powerful? Isn't this too arrogant?"

"Crooked Mouth Tyrant: I've seen this dog before. He just saved a drowning woman a few days ago. What's wrong with him sitting on a chair? If you can save someone too, you can even sit on my head!"

……

The number of people in the livestream room soared by tens of thousands per second, and the server was on the verge of crashing several times. Lucy's host effortlessly controlled the situation, saying, "Dear netizens, there are still two hours until the mecha's official debut. Let's take you through some behind-the-scenes footage first..."

The camera turned and a new singer under Qu Xiaoxiao was rehearsing on the stage. The barrage suddenly burst into wailing:

"If you're not actively eating, there's something wrong with your thinking: We want to see mechas! Who wants to listen to these internet celebrities sing?"

"Bald Girls Protection Association: Exactly! Even if you're going to arrange a singer, at least arrange someone famous. Who are these people?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she jumped up and down in front of the monitor: "What a bunch of tasteless bumpkins! Our artist graduated from a real music college!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she jumped up and down in front of the monitor: "What a bunch of tasteless bumpkins! Our artist graduated from a real music college!"

At 3:, all the lights suddenly went out, and a spotlight shone on the center of the stage. The designated host, shuffling on high heels, walked to the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the global launch of Xiaobaizi Technology's Cosmic Tyrannosaurus Rex, the dazzling and invincible Overlord mecha!" The host's voice deliberately drew out the tone, and a D anatomy diagram of the mecha suddenly lit up on the large screen behind him. "Next, let us welcome the father of mechas—Mr. Lin Bufan!"

The whole audience burst into applause. Accompanied by passionate music, Lin Bufan slowly walked onto the stage, and the cockpit of the mecha on the stage also opened at the right time.

However, at this moment, there was a "woof" sound, and a yellow-brown figure rushed onto the stage like lightning. Before everyone could react, Sang Biao had already leaped into the cockpit!

There was an uproar at the scene, and the live commentary was even more explosive:

"Daniel Wu of the Dog World: Did I see that right? Was that a dog just now?!"

"Newton's coffin lid: Is this dog a spirit? How could it possibly be so fast? And the cockpit must be at least five or six meters high, right? How did it get up there?"

"President of the Brother Ji Fan Club: Wait a minute—this dog looks familiar. Isn't it the Sang Biao from 'Brother Biao Paradise'?! I just saw a video of it ascending the throne and becoming emperor a few days ago!"

……

Sang Biao's action caused an uproar in the audience. Although Lin Bufan was surprised, he just raised his eyebrows and didn't care too much because he had already instructed Aode Biao in advance.

Lin Bufan walked slowly onto the stage, the spotlight followed his figure, and the audience gradually quieted down.

"Dear guests!" Lin Bufan's voice spread throughout the venue through the speakers: "As you can see, the mecha we developed seems to be very popular - even dogs want to drive it." Lin Bufan shrugged, causing a burst of laughter.

Lin Bufan stood under the spotlight, his signature mischievous grin on his face, and continued, "Actually, Sang Biao is our specially invited tester. After all, such an advanced mecha must undergo various extreme tests, such as the compatibility of the dog claw control system, right?"

The audience erupted in laughter and applause, and comments were flooding the screen like crazy:

"Modern Hua Tuo: Hahaha what a fucking dog paw control system!"

"Sang Biao's official poop scooper: Sang Biao: Didn't expect that? I'm the protagonist tonight!"

"I don't eat beef: I give this marketing campaign full marks!"
