The car spun in the air before crashing heavily to the ground; even though the car was deformed, not a speck of dust was stirred up. Hulkbuster Conan, with a pair of constantly spinning block eyes, crawled out of the car.
"I…I think I can still be saved…"
With that, he collapsed directly onto the ground and stopped moving.
Yang Tao quickly ran over, completely ignoring the fainted Green Robe Venerable. If Conan hadn't suddenly burst out, this guy would probably have been a meat patty if he had hit the wall.
"Conan, how are you?"
Conan showed an expression of relief after a narrow escape, looking at the car that had flipped over and said, "Brother Yang, come help me, I can't move now."
Walking closer, Yang Tao then noticed that Conan seemed to be wearing a strange exoskeleton armor.
"This is…"
"This is an exoskeleton armor developed by Dr. Agasa, but I activated its highest power in a hurry just now. The current output is too high, so it should be scrapped…"
Yang Tao glanced at the metal device on Conan, feeling as if his intelligence was being rubbed on the ground. This thing, like Conan's shoes, was full of the flavor of 'Conan Science'.
"It seems Dr. Agasa's research progress is quite good; he actually developed a practical product so quickly."
Being able to make Conan flip a moving car at full power already had the taste of black technology.
Although it might not compare to Doctor Octavius's even blacker technology mechanical claws now, don't forget that Conan's world is a 'detective' world.
He reached out and removed the damaged exoskeleton device from Conan.
"Oh, Conan, you actually went commando…"
Conan's face flushed slightly as he said, "This morning, Dr. Agasa needed to measure body data, and I accidentally got my clothes dirty and didn't have time to go home."
"Tsk tsk, it's fine, small is also quite cute."
"Mr. Yang, perversion cannot be cured. You'd best be careful…"
Yang Tao ignored Conan's sharp tongue, threw the 'scrapped' exoskeleton armor aside, and said, "Why are you here this time?"
Conan, who had just put on his clothes, pointed at the exoskeleton armor Yang Tao had thrown on the ground.
"Dr. Agasa asked me to come and show you the effect."
Yang Tao: "…"
"A one-time demonstration, huh!"
He glanced at the exoskeleton armor and chuckled, "Dr. Agasa truly is the top scientist in your world. To be honest, the capabilities of this armor really exceeded my expectations."
"But now I have a new direction and stronger materials. Let's go, I'll go back with you to meet Dr. Agasa. We can discuss the new device."
Although the materials in the Tinkers' Construct mod are not as strong as some metals in the Tinkers' Construct Addon mods, some of the metals inside are stronger than ordinary alloys.
He waved to the Villagers in the distance, telling them to send the silly Villager back to the village to rest.
And he warned himself in his heart that he must, must, must pay attention to this silly Villager in the future, and also that he cannot allow any human-controlled machinery in the Main World.
Pushing open the wooden door, he entered Dr. Agasa's laboratory. Hearing footsteps, Dr. Agasa, who was conducting an experiment, said without looking up, "Conan, how is it? Is Mr. Yang satisfied?"
Conan sighed and said, "I don't know if he's satisfied, but I'm very satisfied…"
If he wasn't satisfied, he probably would have ended up on the wall today.
Yang Tao reached out and patted Conan's head, smiling, "Dr. Agasa, I'm very satisfied with the exoskeleton device you developed. To be honest, it completely exceeded my expectations."
Hearing Yang Tao's voice, Dr. Agasa stopped what he was doing and turned around, a smile on his face: "Mr. Yang, why are you here?"
He took out the exoskeleton armor, which was 'retired' right after it was produced, and placed it on the nearby experiment table.
"Dr. Agasa, your device is fine, it's just the materials and energy that need improvement."
Dr. Agasa saw the slightly deformed frame and the burnt electronic components, and walked over in surprise, asking, "Conan, what did you do?"
"According to my estimation, at full power, it can completely overturn a truck weighing over ten tons…"
Conan: "…"
He didn't want to speak.
Yang Tao smiled and said, "It's pretty much what you said. Let's not talk about the device for now."
"Dr. Agasa, I came here this time to tell you that I recently found a top talent in machinery and energy in another world. I hope you can communicate with him. That way, both of you will definitely learn new knowledge."
Dr. Agasa's interest was immediately piqued. He chuckled and said, "I've been troubled by energy issues recently."
"My personal energy is truly limited. If there is a suitable talent, I will definitely be able to develop even better armor."
Ring ring…
Just then, Conan's phone rang.
"Um… excuse me, I'll take this call first."
With that, Conan pulled out his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Ran, what's wrong?"
"I'm at Dr. Agasa's place. You don't need to worry. I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything dangerous."
Conan and Ran were engrossed in their conversation, completely ignoring him and Dr. Agasa.
He exuded an aura of being completely smitten.
After hanging up the phone, Conan finally reacted and looked nervously at Yang Tao, who had a knowing smile, and Dr. Agasa, who was already used to it.
"Um… um… it's getting dark, and Ran was worried about me because I hadn't come home…"
"Oh~"
Yang Tao's smile grew even wider: "Tsk tsk, it's different when you have a girlfriend."
"Good boy, big brother will take you home first, so your Ran doesn't worry about you."
Conan said nothing. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would only lead to more teasing from Yang Tao.
"Dr. Agasa, I'll take Conan back first. You pack up, and I'll take you to meet Doctor Octavius."
Dr. Agasa nodded, looked at his lab coat, and smiled, "Alright, I'll just take a shower and change clothes."
Yang Tao and Conan left the underground laboratory and heard the sound of rain hitting the window from outside.
"It's raining? I didn't bring an umbrella…"
"Let's drive back…"
The sports car generously gifted by Harry Osborn was scrapped by Conan and the silly Villager working together, but his 'Tiger Head Mercedes' in his backpack was perfectly fine.
Just as Yang Tao stepped out of the door, preparing to put down the car.
A slender figure, drenched in the heavy rain, stumbled past Dr. Agasa's doorstep.
"Exploration Value 49.256%"
"Haibara Ai?"
Conan heard the name from Yang Tao's mouth and immediately perked up, asking, "Is that the Haibara Ai you were talking about??"
He hadn't forgotten what Yang Tao had said at the beginning, about childhood friends not being able to compete with a fated encounter, so he had always been very attentive to the name Haibara Ai, but he had searched carefully and hadn't found anyone named Haibara Ai.
"If there are no surprises, that would be Haibara Ai."
"Conan, do you want to experience the taste of a cleaver?"
