Chapter 1899 Walk? I Can Jump!
"Nice name. Cai Jian, are you ready to try walking?" Page asked as she pulled up the right sleeves of his pants. Cai Jian nodded his head and was extremely curious if it could really work. After all, he did try some of the prosthetics but they were uncomfortable mainly due to the fact that his wound just healed and it was still soft and tender on the inside, making it tiresome for him to handle the weight. Not to mention, there was both pain and phantom pain as well while trying to walk.
"I am ready but I be honest, I do not have much hope for it."
"Don't worry. If our product does not suit you then it means we still have much to do. In return, I am sure my Boss will treat you to an ice cream dessert. This place sells very delicious ice cream waffles." Page said and Cai Jian nodded his head, willing to try the prototype.
"All set. What he needs to do is to just put it in. There will be a little bit of like ehh nibbling feeling at first. After which, it should be A OKAY!." Click said and just as she said, Cai Jian felt as if the prototype of biting on the remaining portion of his leg but instead of pain, it felt ticklish.
At that point, the prototype reacted and the metallic toes were already wiggling from the ticklish feeling. Cai Jian could hardly believe it as he quickly removed the paddles on the wheelchair and started to try standing.
There was no pain standing at all too and it gave him the urge to try walking even though he has yet to balance himself. "Woah woah. Slowly slowly. The prototype needs some time to adjust itself as well." Click said and that was when Cai Jian listened to her and gave time for the prosthetic leg to adjust itself.
There was a minor green light emitted from all three sides of the prosthetic leg, stating that it had calibrated and Click gave the go ahead for him to walk. Cai Jian could not believe it. He did not even need to think and he was walking as if it was a natural thing to do.
At that point, he started to jump and he felt that the prosthetic leg had even more power than his normal one, only to realise he had accidentally poured chi into the leg as well. "You… can even have chi circulating through the leg?!" Cai Jian exclaimed and Jin nodded his head.
That comment itself was a wow from the people who were watching Cai Jian walking and jumping around so much so that it had already started spreading in the social media. Rou Xiang could not believe it too as she could clearly sense the circulation of chi within the prosthetic leg.
"This is indeed a revolutionary product. I will do my best to get the licenses for you so you can sell them as soon as possible." Rou Xiang said to Jin as Cai Jian continued to run around a little more until Rou Xiang told him to be careful of the crowd.
At that point, Cai Yun was equally excited now seeing that her brother was able to move so smoothly with his new leg but at the same time wary that she could have the same feeling as her brother did. "What's the matter?" Page asked and Cai Yun shook her head. "It's okay, you can say it out."
"You said that these are prototypes, right? Can they work on me when I do not even have half a thigh for you to put the prosthetic leg on?" She said as Cai Yun pulled her pants up to show that the amputation was up to her hip. The only thing left was perhaps the femoral head as her gluteal tuberosity had been completely cut off.
"Don't worry about it. Our dear chief engineer here would be able to adjust the prosthetic leg for you." Page smiled as she took responsibility for adjusting her prothestic arm instead. "You lost these protecting your brother?" Page asked but Cai Yun shook her head.
"I lost these when I tried to escape from the monsters. My brother lost his during an explosion. We used all the chi we could to stop the bleeding but eventually we both fainted from the loss of chi. Next thing we knew, we were on the hospital beds, side by side." Cai Yun explained, not realising that as she said all those things, both Page and Click had already the adjustments and were ready to connect them to Cai Yun.
"Like I said, a bit of a nibbling feeling. Please bear with it." Page smiled. "And with this, you will be ready to start afresh."
The hand and legs connected perfectly fine and since Cai Yun had seen the process that Cai Jian had gone through, she too waited for the minor green lights to be lit up on all the visible sides of both prosthetic limbs before she could feel the sensation coming back to her.
"Sis, what are you waiting for? Stand up!" Cai Jian said and his sister listened to him, realising that it had no pain at all. She felt totally herself and before she could do anything else, her brother already pulled her away from the wheel chair and they managed to run around the place for a bit.
"Hey Hey Hey! No more chi emission, store's rules! if you want, take it to the Panda Muscles Service Instance." Jin shouted and the two kids suddenly giggled and nodded their heads. "Click and Page, take them there, would you?" Jin asked and his two Mechanoids gave a thumbs up before bringing them out of the store instance.
