162: An umbrella can block rain, and it's quite reasonable for it to be bulletproof, right?

"Kingsman: The Secret Service" is a very popular spy action film that many netizens have seen. They especially remember the gentlemanly fight scene of the male protagonist in the restaurant.

However, the most exciting part is that, as secret agents, their weapons and suits are specially customized! The suits are not only bulletproof but also have many other functions. And that magical umbrella is equally memorable.

Su Yu hadn't seen the movie, but he thought the fans' suggestion was quite good.

An umbrella.

This is indeed something everyone uses frequently in daily life.

But isn't the function of an umbrella just to shield from wind and rain? There doesn't seem to be much room for other functions here.

"Ding! Detected a suggestion made to the Host."

"Task: Fulfill the wish of the viewer 'Orell Tros' in the livestream, who hopes to see a real multi-functional umbrella appear in real life. Upon completion, the system will award fixed Prestige Points based on social recognition rating!"

"Time Limit: 7 days."

The familiar system task notification came from his mind.

Su Yu's heart swelled with joy. He had been eagerly awaiting it, and finally, a new task appeared!

Ever since the gatling gun task was completed, the system had been completely unresponsive, as if it had lost connection. He hadn't expected that a casual suggestion from a viewer in the livestream just now would activate a task. Indeed, it had to be livestreaming; this feeling was simply too great!

Compared to before, when he was like a headless Mosquito looking for tasks everywhere, livestreaming with a task was much easier.

"Since Brothers want to see it, then let's make a multi-functional umbrella."

"However, besides sheltering from rain, what other functions can an umbrella have? If Brothers have good ideas, you can type them in the bullet comments."

"If it's reasonable, I will try to add that function."

As soon as these words were spoken, netizens immediately entered brainstorming mode.

"Currently, umbrellas on the market are divided into sun umbrellas and rain umbrellas. Streamer, can you find a way to combine these two functions? That way, we'd only need to carry one umbrella when going out."

Su Yu nodded, pulled out a small notebook, and carefully wrote it down.

Hmm, the first suggestion: a dual-purpose sun and rain umbrella! This should be easy to implement and very simple; it wouldn't cost many Prestige Points to exchange for in the system.

"Streamer, Uncle just said before he left that we can't make weapons with lethal power. But it should be fine if we create a defensive item that can guard against lethal weapons, right?"

"I think, since an umbrella can block rain, being bulletproof should also be reasonable! After all, how does that saying go? 'Gunfire and rain of bullets,' if an umbrella can block rain, it should definitely be bulletproof!"

As soon as that bullet comment appeared, it immediately received countless positive reviews and support from netizens!

"Hahahaha, that's a good idea! Bulletproof umbrella, awesome!"

"Indeed, making a stationery gun might be against the rules, but Uncle can't say anything about a bulletproof umbrella, right?"

"But gun control is so strict in our country, is the bulletproof function really necessary? It feels like it would rarely be used if added."

"Haven't you heard? You might not use a function, but you can't not have it! Since the Streamer wants to create a multi-functional umbrella, I think the umbrella fabric should be made of special, sturdy material."

"I second that!"

Su Yu nodded upon hearing this, his pen tip continuing to glide across the paper, recording the second valuable suggestion.

Hmm, the umbrella needs to be bulletproof! The umbrella fabric should ideally be made of special material to ensure stable quality.

"Alright, Brothers, do you have any other suggestions?"

"If the quality of the umbrella improves, does that mean the ribs won't break as easily?"

"If the umbrella ribs become very sturdy and hard to break, does that mean strong winds can't destroy it? Then can't we use it as a parachute to safely land when jumping from the sky?"

This comment was a stroke of genius!

Even Su Yu was shocked!

Good heavens, the creativity of these netizens is truly boundless. How do such ideas even come to mind?

It sounds a bit unreliable, but it does have a certain feasibility.

Hmm, the underlying logic is sound, and I can definitely try to research it!

Su Yu recorded for the third time.

Soon, more bullet comments came in.

Fan A: "Streamer, Streamer, let's get something practical. Think about it, if it's raining at night and you're walking in the dark, unable to see the road, couldn't we add a lighting function to the umbrella?"

Su Yu: "That's doable!"

Fan B: "Extend the scenario, imagine this. Since the umbrella can be electrified, what if a girl is walking alone at night in the rain? For safety, Streamer, couldn't you add a taser function to the umbrella? You just need to reasonably control the voltage."

Su Yu: "Hmm! That's also reasonable!"

Fan C: "Extend the scenario further. If a girl is walking alone at night in the rain and encounters a hooligan harassing her, couldn't it also have a pepper spray function?"

Su Yu: "Holy cow! That also sounds good!"

Fan D: "Since pepper spray is possible, and there are many Mosquitoes outdoors, adding a Mosquito repellent spray wouldn't be much trouble, would it?"

Fans: "..."

Twenty minutes later.

Su Yu looked at the dense, several pages of various functions in his notebook, and he felt overwhelmed.

No, although what he was making was a multi-functional umbrella, were there not a bit too many functions for this umbrella? The previous functions like insect repellent, electric shock, and pepper spray, while outrageous, could at least be used.

But moving air conditioning, moving refrigerator, electronic touchscreen, and portable folding stool later on—weren't those a bit too ridiculous?

Helpless, Su Yu had to carefully filter all the recorded functions again, deleting most of the impractical ones, such as the mobile air conditioner. In the end, there were still about ten functions left.

Among them, one was added by Su Yu himself, and it was the ultimate effect he wanted to achieve.

It wasn't really a function, but rather Su Yu's concept for his own design innovation.

People have always had a fixed impression of umbrellas: they must have a canopy and ribs.

But his ideal umbrella should be more portable, easy to store, and look very high-end.

After using AI to search the skill exchange library, Su Yu finally found this skill.

Controllable Aerodynamics Kit!

It required 1000 Prestige Points to exchange! The price was currently the most expensive individual technology he had, besides his Master-level Handicraft skill.

However, if he exchanged for it, it would actually satisfy several of the functions he had finally filtered out.

It was indeed very expensive, but Su Yu thought it was worth it!
