Joe, who didn't eat the jelly, bought a bunch of clothes angrily, and asked Mizusawa to carry the big and small bags for him.

"I think you probably bought all your clothes in the last ten years." Mizusawa, holding a pile of packing bags, felt that he could hardly see the road ahead.

"Impossible, I still have to grow taller. I hope that all these clothes will not be worn next year, and they will all become smaller." Qiao ate ice cream in a relaxed way, and it was great to have an adult by his side when shopping. I went shopping.

Mizusawa took a look at his radish-headed stature, and guessed there was still time to grow taller.

"I think you are very venomous today, especially the phrase 'you come', wow, you deserve a beating." Qiao also imitated Mizusawa's way of hooking his hands.

"Aren't you playing a game?"

"I also watched your game carefully. It's not a problem for a talented boy to focus on two tasks."

Mizusawa smiled and said, "Then why didn't you find out, I learned my poisonous tongue from you."

Joe pouted: "Impossible, I'm so obedient."

"What is this?" Joe's eyes lit up, and he couldn't take his eyes off a glass window. "It's the latest model of the A-09 series. It's amazing."

Mizusawa pushed aside the bag that blocked his view, and through the transparent glass, he saw a row of silver-white steel arms neatly arranged inside.

Before he checked it more carefully, he was dragged into the store by the impatient Joe.

"Welcome to Home A, it is the best choice for your body needs."

A clear mechanical female voice sounded when they stepped into the store.

Mizusawa looked around, but didn't see where the sound generator was.

Joe couldn't wait to run to the display cabinet, watching and marveling.

A female shop assistant came by, wearing a reflective silver sundress, and her exposed arms were fitted with the same one they had seen in the outside window before.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am the store manager of the 04 branch of House of A, You Rui. Do you need anything?"

Mizusawa looked at her official and decent smile, pointed to Joe who was still amazed: "Tell him about your new style."

The clerk, Yourui, didn't look down on Joe because he was a child. He took out the latest model that Joe was more curious about and explained to him carefully, the difference between this model and the previous one, and where it is more advanced.

Mizusawa put all the bags in his arms on the small coffee table, sat on the sofa next to the small coffee table, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that shopping with children is so scary, next time he will never come again.

"Sir, do you need coffee?" A one-meter-high barrel-shaped robot with a half-round head lifted a tray with a cup of steaming coffee in it, and slowly slid to Mizusawa.

Mizusawa noticed that there are four wheels on the bottom of its body that can rotate. Maybe it can only move in such a stable place indoors. If there is a robot with a higher ground, can it also move outside?

The robot followed the set procedure and asked Mizusawa again.

"Thank you."

This time Mizusawa remembered to pick it up, and he took a sip curiously, having never had coffee before.

The taste is a bit bitter, but overall it's okay, not bad but not delicious.

The little robot that completed the task hugged the tray and obediently retreated to the side.

Joe picked out the model and asked the saleswoman to pick up a size that suited him, and then sat on the sofa next to Mizusawa.

"I'm really lucky today. This latest model has just been launched. When I get it, I must show it off to Adela." Qiao Mei happily took the coffee delivered by the small machine again.

Mizusawa watched the small machine return to the place just after delivering the coffee, and turned to ask Joe: "Do you like it very much? Don't look any more?"

Joe: "No, you don't know how powerful House A is. Their technology here is the most advanced and leading in all cities. The latest models here are absolutely unmatched by all other places."

Mizusawa nodded, just looking at the layout of the store, whether it is the glass curtain wall, the tempered bricks on the ground, or this kind of small robot that serves coffee for customers, it is their hidden strength.

The female clerk came over again: "I'm sorry, there are no stocks of this size in the store, but I have already notified someone to deliver it from the warehouse. Can the two gentlemen wait a little longer?"

Joe fully agreed: "Of course."

"Thank you for your understanding. I can give you a newly developed gadget." The female clerk handed over two silver iron sheets the size of fingernails, and Joe and Mizusawa each had one.

At the same time, he explained to them: "This is a miniature sensor developed by our B series. Paste it here to replace us in detecting the performance of this part. When there is a problem, its color will turn red. "

Mizusawa saw that the clerk attached another iron sheet for display to her steel arm, but the color of the iron sheet did not change.

Joe followed suit, revealing her thin arms in short sleeves.

He stuck the iron sheet on the flesh-colored skin of his left arm, and the color of the iron sheet actually changed a little, turning into a light pink.

Seeing the imitation leather on Joe's arm, the female clerk felt a little confident. This business can probably be negotiated. Thinking of the high commission that she could get, her expression became more cordial.

"Mr. Xiao's color should be due to lack of oil inside the arm. Have you not oiled your mechanical prosthesis recently?"

Joe thought about it, as if he had really forgotten recently: "I like this little thing."

The clerk looked at Mizusawa, and it would be great if he also had a mechanical prosthesis that needed to be replaced: "Sir, you can also try it. If you buy a mechanical arm in our store, we will provide three free oilings."

Mizusawa stuck the iron sheet on his forearm, but the color did not change.

Although the clerk was a little disappointed in his heart, his face remained unchanged: "It seems that the performance of the prosthesis of Mr. is normal."

Mizusawa smiled and did not answer, but he knew in his heart that neither his arms nor other parts of his body needed to be oiled, and his body was completely free of prosthetics.

Soon, the arm model that Joe was optimistic about was sent over.

This time, he took it directly in his hand and checked it closely. Mizusawa knew why Joe liked it so much, and he insisted on buying it today.

This is a pair of left and right arms. The arm prosthesis starts from the elbow and wraps the forearm, wrist and flexible palm fingers.Although the whole body is silvery white, there are very thin golden geometric lines on it, just like the blood vessels of the human body, with a faint flowing golden light.

Joe couldn't help admiring: "It's so beautiful."

Mizusawa thought of the last time he held his own bow and painted it with golden paint: "You really like this color."

"Of course, it's absolutely right to like the boss." Joe said proudly.

Then he said boldly: "If you buy it, that's it."

The clerk suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took out the credit card machine with a polite smile: "Sir, you can pay a deposit first, a deposit of 20 for a single arm, and a deposit of 40 for a pair of arms. We will finish the inspection for you later. , After modifying it to the most suitable model for you, you can settle the remaining payment, which is only [-] for a single, and [-] for a pair."

After Mizusawa was startled by the high price, he pointed to Little Carrot Joe at the credit card machine handed over by the clerk.

"He pays."

Qiao took out the card and shook it at Mizusawa triumphantly, and said deliberately: "Clear it directly, after all, the adults who will wait for me outside don't know my password."

Although the clerk was a little surprised that it was a child paying the bill, as long as anyone could pay the bill, she would not care about other things in it, and swiped the card contentedly.

Joe pointed up the forearm. "I still need to make a groove on this."

"Sir, don't worry, we will complete all the changes you need for you." The clerk who directly called Joe as Mr. and didn't even add a small print led him the way, "Come with me, we still need more detailed measurements Your bone age and arm size, making the final changes for you."

There is another room in the store. The clerk explained: "There are professional tools here. Our specialists from Home A will measure and modify them for you. If you have any needs, you can tell the specialists. He will give you 100 % satisfied with all customization needs."

Moreover, there is a layer of artificial skin on the outside of Joe's prosthesis, which needs to be removed before reinstallation, which is a very time-consuming task.

So the clerk also explained to Mizusawa thoughtfully that if he feels bored, he can wander around the store casually, and he can consult her if he has any questions.After all, in the eyes of the clerk Yourui, Mizusawa is her potential customer.

It happened that Mizusawa was also very interested in these mechanical prosthetics, so he looked around.

It is found that all the parts of the human body except the head are placed here, but they are somewhat different.

The arm with the most variety is the one Joe bought, accounting for almost one-third of the store, and the variety, color and model are also the most up-to-date.

The second is the calves and the soles of the feet. This is just a little less color, and the latest model has not yet been released.

Such as separate palms, feet, and individual fingers and toes, as well as large complete arms from the shoulder to the palm of the forearm, the complete leg of the thigh, knee and calf, and the entire sole of the foot. And a little less.

The least placed are the chest, back, spine, buttocks and neck.

Like the neck of the neck, Mizusawa only saw a single piece in a corner.

The clerk watched him there for a long time, and went over to talk to him: "This kind of product is already a slow-selling product. Now in this mechanical prosthetics market, only our company is still producing it, but this one in our branch It’s been five or six years since I’ve sold one. It seems that people from Guangyao City bought it last time. This model is still an old model ten years ago. Our company no longer continues to develop it. "

Mizusawa asked softly, "What about the people who need it?"

"The neck is such an important part. If it breaks here, the person will definitely die. There is no time to wait for the mechanical prosthetics to be installed." The clerk took it for granted.
