259: The tools used in the crime were almost confiscated!

???

!!!!

The buzzing sound was not small; not only were Su Yu and the Lackey startled, but even the viewers in the live stream could clearly hear the sound through their screens.

Nitrous oxide injection was a feature the Lackey added when researching the iron man armor. Its effect was almost identical to the drift-boosting in Mario Kart.

Both utilize air compression for rapid propulsion in a short amount of time.

However, this function was only a minor supplementary feature on the iron man armor; the true jet propulsion technology used in the armor was far more advanced.

Seeing the armor's jet propulsion system gradually activating, Su Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he instinctively took a small step back.

Oh no, if this armor system truly activated, the terrifying thrust generated in that instant would probably blast a hole straight through his ceiling!

Even if he was in the basement, the laboratory's safety measures were completely inadequate.

"Holy cow? What was that sound? Why do I feel like something in the live stream is charging up?"

"Nitrous oxide injection? Does this robot also have nitrous oxide injection?"

"No, wait, look quickly! The robot doesn't seem to react at all after hearing the command; instead, it's the Streamer. Huh, did I see wrong? Why has the Streamer's expression changed?"

"Why is the sound getting louder and louder? Hiss! What is that dazzling white light shining in the bottom left corner!!"

Sharp-eyed netizens, after the Lackey shouted "nitrous oxide injection," had their gaze firmly attracted by the screen. Careful viewers even noticed an unusual phenomenon in the camera's view.

The robot being demonstrated was in the center of the screen, but after hearing the command, it not only remained motionless but even showed confusion in its hesitant, sputtering movements.

It was as if it was wondering if it had misheard the command.

"Stop, stop!! Cancel command!"

"Lackey, what are you trying to do!"

Realizing the situation, Su Yu was greatly alarmed. He quickly issued a new command.

And upon hearing Su Yu's words, the armor, which was about to formally activate its nitrous oxide injection system, instantly quieted down, and the concentrated buzzing sound vanished in an instant.

The dazzling white light receded.

The armor, which had been incredibly brilliant just moments ago, once again became a pile of unremarkable scrap metal.

Su Yu was still shaken.

He glared fiercely at the Lackey, but seeing its pitiful, wronged expression, he still couldn't help but feel an urge to melt it down and remake it.

Phew—

That was incredibly thrilling!

If the iron man armor hadn't been fully completed yet, and the nitrous oxide propulsion system still required a warm-up time before activation, the Lackey's shout probably would have activated the armor directly!

If it were to activate the armor before it was fully completed and test its incomplete functions, it wouldn't just be a matter of a few large holes in the house's ceiling.

Within three minutes, his villa would definitely be met with a knock on the door from his uncle.

Publicly displaying items with certain dangers in a live stream, according to relevant regulations, could lead to a home search.

At that point, not only would the two plans he had painstakingly devised be exposed on the spot, but even the 'tools of the trade' would likely be confiscated directly.

The Lackey, knowing it had almost made a mistake, had lost its earlier excitement. Its entire arm hung limply in front of Su Yu, looking utterly dejected.

"Huh? What's going on? Didn't you say nitrous oxide injection? Why didn't the robot react?"

"What did the Streamer just say about canceling the command? Why cancel the command? We want to see the nitrous oxide injection!"

"Look, look! What did I say before? The robot the Streamer made is definitely not as simple as it looks. All that stuff about marching in place and backflips was just a smokescreen! Any robot can do such simple functions!"

"I get it! That Brother upstairs analyzed it correctly! The Streamer is deliberately hiding things! So cunning! The purpose of doing this is to avoid letting competitors see his true strength before the competition."

In the live stream, viewers speculated wildly.

Facing a screen full of doubts and sighs, Su Yu had to bite the bullet and explain.

"Brothers, I'm really sorry, but the function the Lackey wanted to demonstrate just now is only a direction we want to research in the future."

"However, the current research progress is not enough to support us in achieving this, so I apologize for disappointing you, Brothers."

The eyes of the masses were sharp.

Everyone wasn't stupid; they naturally didn't believe Su Yu's explanation for a second.

It was obvious that those words were just meant to mislead people.

They firmly believed that with Su Yu's true ability, let alone nitrous oxide injection, he could definitely come up with even more incredible abilities.

"Stop acting, Streamer. Everyone who knows, knows, hahahaha."

"Alas, it's a pity we can only feast our eyes today. I wonder when the official competition will start; I'm already looking forward to it."

"That's right, today's demonstration was just a warm-up. When the actual competition comes, the Streamer won't be able to hide it."

"But speaking of which, what was that flashing white light in the bottom left corner? Did you all see it? It doesn't look like something that would be on the robot. Could it be that there's more than one robot? Did the Streamer make other things?"

Upon seeing this, Su Yu's heart immediately tightened.

Good heavens, his fans' observational skills were truly terrifying!

With just that little bit of a clue, through careful analysis, they could even guess that he had made other things.

If this continued, his hidden iron man armor might really be exposed.

Thinking of this, Su Yu quickly changed the subject, found a scapegoat, and directed the attention and scrutiny towards Xia Dahai, who was also watching the show in the live stream.

"CEO Xia, the subsequent refinement of the robot will only take three days at most. On behalf of the Brothers in the live stream, I'd like to ask when our competition will actually begin."

"I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Also, how exactly will the competition be conducted, what are the events, and so on."

Suddenly being called out, Xia Dahai did not seem flustered. On the contrary, he had already prepared all the regulations and specific details for the competition.

He turned and asked his subordinate,

"Xiao Li, are the statistics on the exposure rate of various foreign websites out yet? Has it reached the estimated popularity?"

Xiao Li nodded excitedly.

"CEO Xia, just as you predicted, foreign countries are indeed very interested in this robot competition. And with our promotion, many large multinational companies have already sent in applications to participate, asking if they can join this competition."

The others around him heard this and immediately turned their gazes, their eyes filled with surprise and wonder.

One of them couldn't help but ask,

"CEO Xia, did you conduct an external network popularity survey in advance because you want to expand the scale of the robot competition from national to global?!!!"
