Chapter 11 - Calm On the Inside

"Sir, there's been some changes."

Xiao Yuyao looked out of the window and said, "There's no rush."

He lowered his eyes and installed the parts nimbly. With the preparations from before, the other six Gatling guns were quickly made. He made minor changes according to the requirements of the private messages he received.

The voice outside could be heard through a headset.

"Listen up! Surrender yourself before it's too late. You're playing a dangerous game here son! Resistance is futile. You are surrounded by my best men, they will shoot on sight if you fight back!"

The atmosphere was heavy and everyone tightly held on to their weapons.

Telling them was not a sign of weakness, but instead, a trace of pity.

The sound of the amplifier echoed so loudly that even the sound of the helicopters was masked. 

Everyone was prepared to hold Xiao Yuyao hostage. However, there were no actual bullets in their guns. Instead, they were rubber bullets that could only render someone unconscious. 

While the outside was busy making preparations, the laboratory was quiet. Xiao Yuyao avoided the camera and said to Yu Lun, "Don't let them in too early."

"Yes, sir."

Xiao Yuyao's calm appearance almost made the outsiders think that there was no more movement inside.

Those living in the Imperial Capital heard the commotion and joined in on the livestream. They were so excited that they wanted to howl in the livestream.

They enthusiastically sent comment after comment and talked about the scene outside the villa area.

[All the biggest news media outlets are there!]

[D*mn, for real?!]

[Are you kidding me? Why haven't we seen any news?]

[Look at how calm he is compared to Chuchu!]

[Tuantuan gifted Zhou Chuchu 100 airplanes!]

"Let's wrap it up!" Xiao Yuyao placed the last Gatling gun on the table.

The six Gatling guns each had their personal touch to it.

Yaya had a Gatling gun with complicated patterns all over its body. It was outlined in gold, revealing a sense of luxury and class that outshined the others.

NoobGuy had a purple-red Gatling gun with a dog emoji on it and a sentence that said 'Who said I'm a bootlicker? Come out and fight me!', showing his arrogance. 

Young Master Liu had a more complicated setup. He asked for some hideous appearance settings. The gun had demon horns and grotesque lines all over, making it look unsettling.

The other three didn't have many changes. They only requested a color change as they weren't bold with their ideas. They might not even come to pick up their items. Even if they did, they would probably be detained by the people outside.

Those six Gatling guns attracted a large number of spectators.

At the same time, various professionals gathered in the livestream to study the Gatling gun and how intricately it was made.

"It's beautiful. How did he make it? I can't compare to a genius like him…" A middle-aged man made a disappointing sound.

An old man slapped the back of his head. "What do you mean? Have some confidence in yourself. Look around, so many people are clamoring to have it! Imagine all the money we could make!"

"Well. It definitely is real. He didn't add any special effects to it. Based on his process thus far, as long as he loads it with bullets… It won't be any different from a real gun. The production here takes at least three to four days to create one gun. How did he shorten the time to a few hours?"

Xiao Yuyao didn't know what those research institutes were discussing. He didn't expect that making a kid's toy had caused such a huge controversy.

He noticed that he was gaining more traction. He smiled knowing that the more famous he became, the more money he would earn!

Everything was going according to plan. 

[That looks so cool! I didn't expect Young Master Liu's gun to be so eye-catching!]

[My eyes are filled with tears. I'll never get my hands on something like that…]

[Who does that flashy gun belong to? It can't be NoobGuy, right? Wait a second… It is his!! That's what he says on stream all the time!]

[It's a pity I didn't win the lucky draw…]

[If you want to use a Gatling gun, you must trade your life for it!]

Young Master Liu and NoobGuy looked at each other, disgusted by each other's aesthetics.

"How did you come up with such a striking purple?" Young Master Liu gritted his teeth. He felt insulted. He closed his eyes and tried to brainwash himself from ever seeing that weapon.

"Stop judging mine, I mean look at yours!"

NoobGuy quickly retorted. He pursed his lips and thought of where he was. He quieted down and asked in a low voice, "When do we go back?"

Young Master Liu shook his head. He was very clear about the big picture. "It won't be that easy. We should wait until we catch him first."

He said softly, "This person is really good at hiding. He's basically been living in a small base. No one can get in."

Noob sucked in a breath of cold air and didn't dare to continue speaking.

In the laboratory, Xiao Yuyao was fiddling with a screw.

"Chuchu." He patted Zhou Chuchu's head and took the phone. "Let's give everyone a tour around the laboratory. There are many small inventions here that I'd like to show. I believe everyone will be interested in small inventions as well."

Xiao Yuyao walked out leisurely, ignoring all the firearms aimed at him.

They couldn't block Xiao Yuyao's stream, so they could only let him do as he pleased. With so many viewers watching, they wouldn't dare make a move.

"The interior of the villa is very spacious. I've modified the basement into a laboratory. I'll show you around the other two areas. One is a semi-finished product area, and the other is the completed product area."

Xiao Yuyao enthusiastically introduced the laboratory he grew from the ground up. He spoke animatedly as he openly declared his strength to the outside world.

"Some of the bigger ones aren't here… but I'll show you the rest!

"This is a watch that has a GPS function. It can call the police, find its location, and connect to the nearest police station at any time. It can also send a distress message to anyone's mobile phone.

"This is a modified flashlight that is similar to a stun baton. It can quickly stun an adult without causing any harm. Even women can use these. The flashlight can identify the gender of the assaulter. 

"Hmm… What else should I show you?"

Xiao Yuyao walked around.

Unintentionally, the camera zoomed past a semi-finished exoskeleton of a mecha. It was an original exoskeleton of a mecha made by a blueprint that could be found online.

This meant that Xiao Yuyao had tried out the first version of the mech before he created his own. Even so, it still made the audience boil with excitement.
