However, Lincoln had already started working, and Yue Pengju didn’t want to disturb him, so he could only watch closely.
On Lincoln’s side, he didn’t continue to work on the large-scale neural modulator-demodulator for the time being, but assembled two Mirage 2.os instead.
Since he had already decided not to mass-produce the new device with the concentration function, the two devices promised to Princess and Shuihua had to be handcrafted.
He did a bit here and there when he had some free time, and now he was in the final stages.
After he finished, he planned to ask Camille Victoria for her address and send it to her.
But surely he couldn’t send it to the Forbidden City, could he? That place had long since become a tourist attraction.
The only privilege of the royal family is that they don’t have to pay for admission when they visit.
But once they’re in, they can only walk around; they can’t think of driving in there, let alone motor vehicles, not even bicycles!
As for the addresses that can be found online, according to Camille Victoria, even though those were residences, because they attracted too much attention, they were more like “workplaces”, and she and her sister seldom lived there.
On the other hand, Camille Victoria worked all day and did not see Lincoln appear. After she logged off, she sat up on the bed by herself, feeling listless.
She was hesitating whether to take the initiative to call Lincoln and ask him what he was busy with.
The reason…
It’s precisely because Shuihua wanted a virtual image plugin! She had previously planned to tell Lincoln the next time she saw him, but she never did.
“Right! It’s because of Shuihua’s issue!” The princess clenches her fist, cheering herself up.
But just as she was about to dial Lincoln’s number, his call came in.
“Ah!” Camille Victoria got startled, feeling a bit guilty as if she had been caught red-handed.
She nervously patted her chest to calm herself down: “Stay calm, it’s just a coincidence. ”
“Hello?” Although Camille Victoria looked a bit tense, her voice was steady, not giving anything away.
“Student Zhu?” Lincoln’s voice came from the other end. “The Mirage 2.0 version that I promised to send to you and Shuihua is ready. Should I mail it to you?”
“No!” Camille Victoria quickly stopped him, “I can come to you!”
After saying this, she was somewhat worried that it might not be convenient for Lincoln. “Is that alright?”
“Of course. As long as it’s convenient for you.”
“I’m very convenient!” As Camille Victoria spoke on the phone, she’d already gotten out of bed and started picking out her clothes.
“Then, I’ll wait for you?”
“Alright, I’ll come over soon!”
After hanging up the phone, Camille Victoria suddenly realized: she and Shuihua had already discussed it, and they couldn’t accept such a valuable gift! How could she have agreed in her moment of panic!
She was out of options, she could only refuse when she met him in person.
Or perhaps discuss with Lincoln if they could use the virtual image plugin as a gift for Shuihua, that should be just as good!
Thinking of this, Camille Victoria eagerly called Jordan, apologizing while asking him to prepare the car, for she had some urgent matters to attend to.
She didn’t mind taking a cab there herself, but that would only add trouble for others.
After the call, she put on a new white dress that she adored greatly and had only recently bought.
The dress had two layers, the outer being a translucent white fabric and the inner layer a light tea color embellished with faint white cloud patterns, very beautiful. But under the cover of the outer layer, you could only make out a vague trace of it.
Camille Victoria felt that this dress was extremely suitable for summer; she fell in love with it at first sight and cherished it so much that she didn’t dare wear it often.
She put on the dress and quickly did a light makeup — taught by Shuihua when she was learning makeup.
Although she wasn’t particularly interested, she apparently had a knack for learning things quickly and her makeup skills were nowhere inferior to Shuihua’s.
Finally, Camille Victoria stood in front of the floor mirror, grinned slightly, gave her dress a gentle sway, and after inspecting her makeup in detail, she went out satisfactorily.
Her sister watched as she happily ran out in her favorite dress, deep in thought.
In Lincoln’s living room, a large-scale neural modulator-demodulator has already taken shape.
Mavis suddenly said, “Master, someone’s coming, she’s almost at the door.”
Deeply engrossed, Lincoln, who was hunched over assembling a component, looked up towards the door.
The next moment, as expected, there came a knock on the door.
However, Mavis was overly concerned, the knocking was extremely light, even seeming cautious, so as not to disturb Lincoln who was engrossed in his research.
“Thanks, Mavis!” Lincoln sincerely thanked Mavis.
“Hehe.” Mavis chuckled proudly.
Lincoln got up to open the door and saw the princess and Jordan, whom he hasn’t seen for some days now.
This guy had a serious look on his face, totally belying the fact that he was indeed a chatterbox privately.
Jordan still refused to come in, Lincoln wanted to drag him in, even for just a glass of water!
Jordan looked at the little Princess who had already entered the room, waiting with her head lowered, and let out a silent sigh.
Lincoln felt as though he had exerted all his strength, but Jordan didn’t budge an inch, not giving him any face at all.
“Alright, I’m going to find Yue Pengju for a chat. Haven’t seen him in a few days.” Jordan pulled away Lincoln’s hand, turned around and knocked on Yue Pengju’s room door.
“Okay, that works too.” Lincoln closed the door, thinking to himself, at least I’ve tried to be accommodating.
As soon as the princess walked through the entrance, she saw a huge piece of unidentifiable equipment standing nearly 1.7 meters tall in the middle of the living room. It looked like an irregular cube.
Loose wires and auxiliary equipment surrounded the large cube, and all various types of components were placed on the floor and on the small tables, some were already formed, while others were still in the middle of the production.
It was clear that the equipment was still incomplete, but some indicator lights were already on, proving that some components were already operational.
Such a big piece of sci-fi-esque equipment, so sharply contrasted with the domestic atmosphere of the living room, posed a strong impact on people who just walked into the room.
Princess Camille Victoria was no exception. Seeing this thing, larger than her, suddenly appearing before her eyes, she widened her eyes in surprise.
“Lincoln, what is…this?”
“Oh. it’s a large—scale neural modem. hilt I’ve encountered some problems-”
Although he encountered a few unanticipated problems and the progress has temporarily been stalled, Lincoln didn’t care too much, “The workspace is a bit of a mess, but just walk around it. The workspace is limited, not very convenient, so I put it in the living room. Here, have a seat.”
Lincoln took out some fruit juice from the fridge and poured it into a new cup for the princess- this fruit juice was freshly prepared by Yue Pengju and kept in the fridge.
“Fruit juice.” Lincoln handed the cup to her, ‘Wait a moment, I’ll go fetch the main console.”
Before the princess could refuse, Lincoln had already turned around and headed into the workspace.
When he came out again, he was holding two simple paper boxes in his hands, which he put casually on the table.
In this entire process, the princess’s gaze kept drifting over to the large-scale neural modem, its presence was just too significant!
She held back and held back, but in the end, she still couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity: “What is this used for?”
“Oh, it has something to do with these two main consoles I’m giving you. After some time, I suppose the entire country will start making these things- if they can achieve the effect I anticipate.”
Lincoln simply introduced the related matters about the Focus Ring.
Camille Victoria grew more shocked as she listened, her eyes round with surprise. Unknowingly, Lincoln had accomplished something so big!
Thinking about how she used to complain about him being lazy and not going to work, Camille Victoria felt very guilty and shyly lowered her head.
Looking at the [Mirage 2.0] held in her hand, her surprise was hard to conceal, “So in that case, these two consoles should be very important, right? Is it really okay to just give them to us like this?”
After all, it would take time for the large- scale production of the Focus Ring to be rolled out across the country, and even after it is rolled out, unless it’s a specific group of people like scientists, its use will be location-restricted.
With this in mind, the value of these two [True Limited Edition Mirage 2.0] with similar functions undoubtedly increased by many times!
“Of course it’s fine, but it must be kept confidential.” Lincoln replied without hesitation, “I trust in Camille Victoria’s ability to keep a secret completely.” “Oh, by the way, as for Shuihua, she’ll need to be reminded by you.”
Camille Victoria looked at Lincoln, her eyes brimming with tears, she nodded firmly, “Mhm, I will definitely make her keep it a secret! She’s very tight-lipped, you don’t have to worry.”
Of course Shuihua is tight-lipped, otherwise, she wouldn’t have maintained such a good relationship with the princess after all these years.
Camille Victoria said excitedly and gratefully, “Lincoln, thank you for trusting me so much.”
“Of course, you’re my angel investor after all! “
