Chapter 256: Chapter 250: Show-off Artifact

“Young Master, the operation has started.” Upon receiving Olivia Thatcher’s reminder, Finn Lewis finally realized the gravity of the situation. He thought that such an undertaking would take at least a few days of planning, but to his surprise, action commenced merely a day later.
The specific details of the operation have been removed due to uncontrollable factors.
As the last person was arrested, ending the operation, a voice in Finn Lewis’ mind announced, “Mission accomplished, rewarded with one set of Thunderbird Type-7 skin-tight protective suit.” As the voice faded, Finn Lewis became somewhat confused, “Wasn’t the reward supposed to be unlocking a commodity below fifty thousand points.”
“You are mistaken.” The voice, carrying a cool humor, made Finn Lewis feel like an idiot. He quickly took out his phone to recheck the mission, only to frustratingly discover that the unlocking task was related to the birth of Toras Corporation. He thought it was the second challenge from the dark forces.
However, now that it’s done, Finn Lewis couldn’t change anything. He had no other choice but to reluctantly accept. That said, he was indeed intrigued by this Thunderbird Type-7 skin-tight protective suit. Just what kind of item was
Soon, a knocking sound marked the arrival of what Finn Lewis wanted to see a T-800 model carrying a large box. The box, imposing in size with roughly 1.2 meters in height, eighty centimeters in width, and fifty centimeters in thickness, surely would have been tough for someone less muscular than the T-800.
Once inside the living room, the T-800 placed the box on the floor and turned to leave. Finn Lewis was allowed to open the box only after DNA verification by Model-I. To his dismay, upon opening, Finn Lewis found something completely different from what he was eagerly expecting.
Finn initially imagined it to be a tight-fitting suit like the ones seen in movies. However, what he saw in the box was akin to the ancient Flame Nation’s chainmail or fish scale armor.
“Damn it. Though I bet it offers impressive protection, I surely can’t walk down the street wearing this, right? This is ridiculous,” he muttered.
“What use is this to me? Do I only put it on when I’m attacked? That would be too late, wouldn’t it?” Finn Lewis met the neatly arranged armor in the box with a helpless stare.
“Young Master, its function will become apparent once you put it on. Contrary to its appearance, this advanced protective suit isn’t heavy at all. Its protective effect even surpasses our armor,” the nearby T-1000 responded respectfully.
“Really?” Finn Lewis curiously turned to look at Model-I.
After Model-I nodded but didn’t further speak, Finn Lewis eagerly reached into the box and touched the armor. To his surprise, it was incredibly lightweight, much like fabric clothes, not at all as heavy as he had imagined. Despite appearing metallic and solid, lifting it felt effortless. No wonder it needed such a sizable box.
Upon removing the entire armor, he found that the middle was like a zip-up design. After unzipping it, he asked, “Do I need to remove all my clothes before wearing it?”
“You can leave your underwear on,” Model-I responded.
Since he was alone in the room, and both his parents and Fishy Wells were currently not in the house, he didn’t hesitate to strip down to his underwear, leaving only that on before pulling on the fish scale-like armor with Model-I’s
nup.
The armor was divided into two parts: pants and a vest. He first put on the armor pants, followed by the vest. However, he couldn’t help but chuckle helplessly once he had it on – it was loose and baggy. He felt like he was wearing an oversized vest. What was so special about it?
Just as he was about to inquire, Model-I went back to the box and took out a watch-like object and handed it to him. This so-called watch was incredibly thin, approximately five to six millimeters, with a transparent strap and face, which allowed him to see through to the other side.
“What is this?” Finn Lewis asked curiously.
“This is an auxiliary system to operate the equipment you’re wearing, or you could consider it as a central control system,” Model-I replied promptly.
“Oh?” Finn Lewis immediately removed his Breguet watch and put on the watch-like accessory. There was no buckle on the strap but as soon as he put it on his wrist, both ends instinctively tightened, sealing the gap perfectly.
Then the watch face started flashing rapidly until a platinum-colored watch appeared on his wrist. Although this watch bore no brand, a glance was enough to tell that it was of supreme quality – no ordinary watch could imitate its material and craftsmanship. His Breguet watch, worth millions, suddenly felt like a countryside relic compared to it.
This inexplicable feeling was hard to describe but your eyes could tell even though words couldn’t. Odd as it may sound, the watch somehow carried a certain elegance. The synthetic voice, devoid of warmth, came again, “Thunderbird Type-7 protective suit activated, code name ilkvven99. Do you wish to change the name, or continue using the code name?”
“Change the name. Call it Wild Kitten.” Finn Lewis, unable to think of a decent name on the spot, came up with one at random.
“Wild Kitten – confirmed, ” the robotic voice continued, “Do you wish to activate the protective suit? Remember, once activated, the attached target cannot be changed. Please confirm cautiously.”
“Activate.” Finn Lewis replied promptly, “Isn’t that obvious? Wearing it means it’s to be activated..”
