Chapter 316 OMG! What did I just see?!

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! The force is so natural! It completely lacks that mechanical stiffness I imagined!"

"It's like... it's like holding a hand wearing a metal glove!"

In that instant, through precise sensors and complex algorithms, a faint signal was clearly transmitted back to the young man's brain.

Being touched by such a beautiful foreign girl, even though there was a layer of metal in between, the young man still blushed slightly in embarrassment.

"My God, this is amazing! It's practically magic!"

She looked at the arm, which was gleaming in the sunlight, as if she were looking at a work of art from the future.

Seeing the beautiful woman so amazed, the young man's desire to show it off was piqued.

He picked up a napkin, gently unfolded it with his fingertips, and even used two mechanical fingers to pick up a takoyaki ball that Amy had just been eating. His movements were so steady that not even a drop of sauce fell.

Amy: ???

While demonstrating, he said proudly through the two women's translation, "Eating, writing, using a phone, and even doing some delicate work, it's all no problem now!"

"It is Xingchen Technology, it is Mr. Jiang Jing, it is this technology he invented that gave me a second life! This isn't just an arm; it's hope!"

The audience in the Livestream room saw everything clearly through the camera lens.

After a brief silence, the live chat exploded like a volcano:

[OH MY GOD!!! What did I just see?!]

[The flexibility! How is this any different from a real hand?!]

[Did he just feel Amy's touch?! Is this really technology and not magic?!]

[Why?! Why doesn't our USA have this kind of technology?!]

[Fuck! What kind of shit is our news reporting every day?! Why have I never heard of such a groundbreaking product?!]

[The media is intentionally hiding it! They don't want us to know that China's technology has developed to this extent!]

[What are they doing?! Such a great invention should be known to the whole world!]

[Why haven't we imported it?! (Roaring, screaming.jpg)]

Looking at the indignant live chat on the screen, Amy was also filled with confusion.

She turned to Lin Ruoxi and Chu Yuqing and asked, puzzled, "Right, why have I never seen any reports about this Prosthetic limb in the USA?"

"Logically, such a great invention that can change countless people's lives should have spread across the globe very quickly!"

Lin Ruoxi and Chu Yuqing looked at each other and helplessly shrugged.

Lin Ruoxi said with a subtle tone, "This... we aren't too sure, perhaps..."

She paused and didn't say the second half of the sentence, but many viewers in the Livestream room already understood—they only want us to see what they want us to see!

A sense of anger at being shielded from information welled up.

Amy suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and continued to ask, "Then... does Xingchen Technology have plans to expand to overseas markets? Such a great product should be used by people in need all over the world!"

Chu Yuqing shook her head and explained, "The boss of Xingchen Technology has a clear plan. He first wants to ensure that soldiers and police officers in China who were disabled in the line of duty can use it first."

"Then it's other disabled people in China. We have to wait until our own compatriots in China have used it before considering overseas markets."

"However, I heard that the production base is expanding recently, so it should be soon."

After hearing this, Amy was silent for a moment, a complex expression appearing on her face—a mix of shock and envy.

"Prioritizing one's own compatriots... that's really nice." She said softly, her heart inevitably making comparisons to some practices in the USA.

"Being able to use the magical beauty serum at a low price, and being able to be the first to enjoy this life-changing black technology... Chinese people are truly happy." Amy's tone was filled with envy.

"When it is finally exported, who knows how exorbitantly expensive this Prosthetic limb will be..."

Her words resonated with many viewers in the Livestream room, especially those netizens who had disabled family members at home.

They could no longer sit still, and the live chat was instantly flooded with various pleas and urgings:

[Amy, please ask if it's possible to buy a set and bring it back, my father needs it!]

[Price is not an issue! I'm willing to pay double! No! Triple the price! As long as my daughter can use her hands flexibly again!]

[My brother lost an arm on the battlefield, please Amy, help us ask!]

[Look at that young man, he lives with such confidence, I also want my family members to be like him.]

[Amy, try it, what if it works?!]

Looking at the countless requests full of pain and hope on the screen, Amy's heart was touched.

She took a deep breath, and with a glimmer of wishful thinking, turned to Lin Ruoxi and Chu Yuqing.

She tentatively asked, "Ruoxi, Yuqing, look... so many people need help."

"Is there any channel through which I... or they, could purchase this Prosthetic limb? Even if the price is higher?"

Lin Ruoxi and Chu Yuqing both showed expressions of regret on their faces.

Chu Yuqing gently shook her head, shattering Amy's fantasy: "Amy, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that really won't work."

"The purchase of the Prosthetic limb requires strict verification. One must hold a disability certificate issued by our country, China, and have a detailed record registered in the system."

"This is mainly done to prevent people from taking advantage of price differences for resale, ensuring that every set of Prosthetic limb can reach the hands of the compatriots who truly need it."

Hope was shattered once again.

Amy looked at the messages still scrolling on the screen, and her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

How could the decisions of a big company be changed by us little people? All we can do is hope for an early export and that the price won't be too expensive...

This trip to Rong City brought her not only visual and taste-related shocks but also repeated, violent impacts to her perception.

Although the netizens in the Livestream room were anxious, they were not unreasonable.

They understood very well that this kind of regulation concerning medical equipment and national policy could absolutely not be broken because of an influencer's request or an individual's need.

Even if Amy really had the god-like ability to get one, how to legally bring it back to her country was a huge problem; it would be almost equivalent to smuggling, with extremely high risk.

However, reason is one thing, but emotionally, it was hard to accept.

Watching the hope that could let their loved ones stand again and embrace the world right in front of them—this torment made countless people restless.

[I can't take it anymore! My mom has been in a wheelchair for ten years! I'm going to leave a message on the government website!]

[Me too! For my younger brother, I must do something!]

[Let's go! Everyone go together! Let them see our voices!]

[This is a matter concerning the dignity of life! The government must take action!]
