398: A true rebirth

"Mr. Cai, this body was custom-made specifically for you."

"Although it's a mechanical body, I can guarantee that its Bionics Technology is absolutely top-tier globally. Even the creations at the Global Robot Competition don't have anything more representative than this one right here."

Su Yu looked at the mechanical body, also filled with anticipation.

He had his Lackey use the technology taught in the system to custom-make it.

No special mechanical abilities or devices surpassing ordinary humans were installed. It was designed to perfectly mimic the basic physiological structure of humans as much as possible, achieving the highest degree of restoration.

Su Yu hoped that Cai Shi could continue to live as an ordinary person, rather than being treated as a special anomaly.

Therefore, the functions of this mechanical body were primarily focused on bionic sports technology.

Hearing Su Yu's introduction, Cai Shi didn't know what to say.

This young man not only saved his life but also painstakingly custom-made a mechanical body for him.

This kindness was impossible to repay!

"Mr. Su, how do I control this body?"

Cai Shi's voice came from the computer.

This state of being bodiless, with a soul that felt ethereal, made Cai Shi feel like he was alive but completely out of sync with the world.

Su Yu didn't answer him immediately but instead had the lab personnel remove the super chip from the protection system.

The super chip was a physically isolated chip, completely disconnected from the network.

This was also the best protection for Cai Shi.

Otherwise, with the current level of technological advancement, if someone with ill intentions wanted to launch a hacker attack on Cai Shi's soul, he would definitely not be able to resist it successfully on his own.

The current Cai Shi, from a physical perspective, was a very precise and complex data program.

Although he wouldn't face the aging, illness, and death that all carbon-based life forms experience, this didn't mean he could exist forever and never disappear.

After becoming network data, the methods to eliminate Cai Shi actually became simpler.

As long as it's data, a way can be found to completely delete it from the world!

Therefore, this physical chip, completely isolated from the network, was also very necessary.

"Once the super chip is implanted into the mechanical body and activated, Mr. Cai Shi will be able to autonomously control the body."

As he spoke, the lab personnel had already completed the chip implantation.

The next second, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the previously motionless mechanical body received an electrical current, and the chip and body completed their first activation.

"Congratulations, Mr. Cai Shi, on completing the activation of the bionic human machine."

"The operating instructions are as follows..."

Within the chip, Cai Shi felt that in the previously blank and boundless chip world, countless tiny light patterns suddenly appeared. These light patterns, like neurons in the human body, began to extend his consciousness infinitely outwards.

Moments later, Cai Shi felt his consciousness envelop the entire mechanical body.

With a single thought, he could clearly perceive the operation of every part of the body.

This was a feeling he had never experienced when he was human.

It was more like the top masters in wuxia novels who cultivate internal martial arts, their qi contained, able to introspect their meridians by simply moving their whole body.

Moreover, Cai Shi felt that his current development and mastery of the body were unprecedentedly clear.

Every joint, every inch of skin, could be controlled with meticulous precision.

He slowly raised his right hand, then opened his palm, then slowly clenched it, repeating this several times before the system in his mind displayed:

All right-hand movements completed, 99% synchronization, 3ms delay.

Next were the left hand, right arm, left arm, torso, head... When all parts were fully activated, Cai Shi tentatively operated the mechanical body, slowly taking a step forward.

This step was completed with ease.

It was exactly the same as when he had a human body!

Cai Shi couldn't quite believe it and quickly retracted his foot.

Immediately after, he performed a squat in place. This movement was even smoother and more fluid, feeling like he had eaten Dove chocolate.

After squatting, he began to sway his body left and right, his knees constantly rotating. If one only looked at the movements, no one would realize that this was actually a robot!

Cai Shi then performed a series of four very difficult movements.

Every movement was completed flawlessly, without any hindrance.

Finally, even the popular 'kung fu squat' on the Kuaishou Platform recently, where one foot kicks forward and the other squats, was easily completed.

"Holy cow! Can a mechanical body really perform these movements? This is too amazing!"

"I just tried that move and almost fell flat on my face; a normal person couldn't possibly do it."

"First time seeing such a flexible mechanical body; it's practically indistinguishable from a human."

"No! There's still a difference! What a human body can do, a mechanical body can also do. What a human body cannot do, a mechanical body can still do!"

"Just to mention one point: a human body has skin, flesh, and bones. No matter if it falls or bumps, if it gets injured, it will feel pain. But a mechanical body won't have this problem."

"Furthermore, the impact resistance of a mechanical body is absolutely incomparable to the fragile flesh and blood of a human. If a human body is hit by a car going forty or fifty miles an hour, it might be scattered everywhere. But a mechanical body is made of special alloy, incredibly hard! Want to smash it? That's simply not possible!"

A mechanical body incredibly similar to a human body, yet possessing ultra-high hardness, not requiring flesh and blood for energy, able to go without eating or drinking, and not subject to aging, illness, or death.

What could be more captivating than this?!

Coupled with the super chip's complete memory transfer and organization, Cai Shi's brain capacity development reached a new level.

It could be said that Cai Shi not only lost nothing but, due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, completely underwent an evolution beyond ordinary humans.

This was even something many wealthy people dreamed of!

Now, by a strange twist of fate, he had turned misfortune into a blessing, a situation that could no longer be described merely as 'lucky.'

"How is it? How do you feel? What are the differences compared to your original body?"

Su Yu asked Cai Shi with a smile.

"No difference at all! I even feel that this mechanical body is more powerful and practical than my previous one!"

"Mr. Su, you could say you've granted me a second life. I, Cai Shi, will remember this forever!"

"As long as I live in this world for one day, I will do my utmost to help those friends who also suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis overcome their difficulties."

Cai Shi slowly turned around, his gaze burning as he looked at Su Yu. Then he bowed deeply!
