Trister explained that Eggy was no ordinary entity. Years ago, he was fortunate to have heard about Eggy from Lasso while on a fortuitous adventure. However, at that time, Eggy had been in hibernation within Feng Yi's Space Crystal, hence Trister had always wanted the opportunity to meet Feng Yi in person.
Of course, this was a secret known to a few. Lasso had only shared this precious information with Trister under strict promises of confidentiality. As for how he came to know, Lasso, who had traveled the world, did not elaborate.
Value of Eggy, Trister stated, was inestimable. It could be considered a federal treasure. This issue had lingered in his mind and he was bound by a vow of silence about it.
However, with the existence of an AI called Noah, Eggy's significance was somewhat diminished. Both Noah and Eggy, super AIs with independent consciousness, had essentially similar abilities. Having one more or one less would not change computation results significantly. Hence, the secret had been kept until now. Otherwise, even for the sake of promoting federal development, Trister would have revealed this secret.
As a scientist, Trister frankly admitted that he may not necessarily be a man of his word.
However, when Feng Yi heard this, he admired the older man's integrity. Didn't his ability to keep a secret reflect Trister's broadmindedness?
Trister expressed his desire to meet Eggy. Although Noah could help answer many of his research questions, given his role and the wealth that Noah represented to the federation, it was not possible for him to summon Noah at his will. Many technological inventions were only approved for collaboration with Noah under specific circumstances.
Feng Yi didn't mind too much. As long as Trister understood the importance of maintaining Eggy's secrecy, he was okay with it.
Trister was frustrated. The old and the young seemed to have been cut from the same cloth. However, upon hearing this, he couldn't contain his joy. His nodding affirmative response was like a dwarf seeing a princess or a vicious dog seeing poop.
Before this, Feng Yi had issued a request to visit Trister's wonderful inventions. With their respective intentions in mind, they reached a consensus within seconds.
Soon after, Eggy appeared. Trister remarked on how hefty this rubber dinosaur was.
Funny thing, Eggy initially played dead, functioning as if it were a mere metal lump. Who would want a giant lump of iron as a toy?
Upon examining it, Trister found that the dinosaur's surface seemed to be coated with a high-density super rubber compound, extremely elastic and resistant to high temperatures and pressure, capable of blocking electric particle scanning.
Having swung it and bounced it with careful observation for a while, it wasn't until Trister touched one static hair that Eggy angrily reacted.
The little one seemed furious. Eggy felt it was being patted on the head. It said quite clearly, "No matter who you are, if you dare touch my scales, I'll beat you up."
Unexpectedly, what had originally appeared to be a rubber dinosaur suddenly started moving, jumped onto Trister's head and began wildly scratching him with its paws…
Trister quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Eggy, I was wrong, I was wrong." He actually didn't expect that this little rubber dinosaur was, in fact, not a semi-intelligent being, but a child with its own consciousness.
Although Trister was begging Eggy for mercy, he was secretly ecstatic. In order to win Eggy's favor, he ordered dozens of the most expensive inflatable dolls on the market within five minutes. He specifically instructed his research team to construct a rubber dinosaur similar to Eggy's size and structure, except it had to be a female.
His research team was bewildered. When did the old man become interested in inflatable dolls?
This left Feng Yi at a loss for words… Despite Trister's benign appearance, he ordered his employees around as if they were his grandchildren. However, when he turned back to look at Eggy, he behaved as if he were a grandfather doting on his grandson. Even Feng Yi couldn't help but feel like giving him a few punches.
However, he quickly turned his attention away and focused instead on the myriad of experimental items in Trister's laboratory. There were invisibility potions, voice-changing capsules, teleportation devices, weaponry, and a variety of bizarre gadgets – a veritable assortment of sights and sounds.
Not long after, his attention was drawn to a pair of Combat Boots. He wasn't initially clear about what made Combat Boots unique, but after reading the description, all became clear.
It turns out that these Invincible Running Boots were not only equipped with a propulsion feature, but they also had an unmatched speed boosting effect. According to the description, the boots worked by electronically adjusting to the wearer's skeletal characteristics, optimizing sprint performance. With superb adaptability and comfort, these stylish boots were simply amazing.
Moreover, the Invincible Running Boots were constructed with super-metal materials. As everyone knew, super-metal was inherently tough, and the part of the shoes fused with super-metal made them virtually invincible. Feng Yi was enticed. He had gone through countless pairs of shoes in fights. Imagine how wonderful it would be to have these Invincible Running Boots, he thought, and moved on to the next piece of equipment.
The second item that caught Feng Yi's eye was something that looked like a necklace. No, it was actually a necklace. The difference lay in its functions…
Equipment Type: Combat Suit.
Name: Wind Voyager-Disguise.
Function: As Feng Yi looked at the detail specifications, his eyes began to blaze. This little necklace was something he had always dreamt of.
The Combat Suit was made from Type 2 super-metal through micromachinery, with outstanding bulletproof capabilities. The micrometric biosensing system would switch armaments according to brain wave patterns. It had a certain degree of biometric invisibility, capable of adjusting color according to the surrounding landscape or by personal consciousness locking in a specific color. Plus it had solar micro crystal energy storage.
He was tempted to try all this himself but restrained the urge to admit it.
Then he saw a tactical glove called the Judicator. It evoked all kinds of useful functions, but Feng Yi only had eyes for the weapon…
