YM778.TV Chapter 95 - 5.6
"I already planted it."
Yukio frowned when he heard this answer from Sakuma. He expected himself to be awake when a new biochip was implanted into him, so he would know what kind of augmentation and system was implemented within the biochip. It would help him understand better about his new ability and such.
Sakuma seemed to sense the uneasiness in Amano-San\'s expression, he explained, "Amano-San, the reason why I can save your body after that barrage of bullets and beams, is the newly implanted biochip in your body."
"But how can I know my new enhanced abilities or system? Do you have a guide book or something?" Yukio asked.
"You don\'t need that, you can do a lot of things by imagining it, the biochip will automatically find the most suitable power for you," Sakuma explained, "For example, try opening your hand and think about energy beams."
Yunyu started thinking about energy beams, then his metallic hand created an energy beam on its own and shot a highly concentrated beam to the air. Yukio was baffled at this. With a regular biochip, he had to tap his biochip and then addressed a command.
With this kind of biochip, he would act faster and stronger. Yukio got excited, "This is amazing!"
Yukio thought of flying, and suddenly, he felt something in his ankle heated up and his ankle turned into a small jet. Yukio started hovering around, then he stopped. He seemed to be satisfied.
[System! Look at me, I\'m the inspector gadget!]
"I have a question, how many modifications did you do to my body?" Yukio asked. In this world, body modification was very common to a small extent, but extreme body modification was expensive and very risky. Most people wouldn\'t have enough physical strength to handle the body modification anyway.
"Only in some important part of your body. But I still keep your human organ, don\'t worry," Sakuma said, he fixed his glasses and then sat on his chair again, "Amano-San, you can experiment on your own."
[Pupa, what did you see when I was unconscious?]
[Pupa: I also went on reboot, thanks to an idiot. A bullet hit my weak spot, so I went to hibernation for a while to fix the damage. I returned when you were already in that tuning chamber.]
[What about my body modification? I feel nothing wrong though.]
[Pupa: Based on my scan, you are still Yukio Amano. So, it\'s nothing to be worried about.]
Yunyu put down his worries after getting the confirmation from the system. He wanted to try out many things, but his character setting was cautious and careful, an experienced man. So him flying around doing lewd acrobatics would only lead to a restart.
Sakuma seemed to be happy with his new invention, he typed something in his ipad and then a female android walked to them with a small box, "This is the transporter that will immediately lead you to this room. I hope… I hope you can visit often."
Sakuma clicked the red button on top of the small box, and it expanded into a human sized black box, "You can go now, Amano-San. I\'m sorry for holding you for long."
Yukio felt that Sakuma was really a kind hearted person. But his social anxiety and fear of humans in general held him back. Yukio stepped inside the transporter and told Sakuma something before leaving, "I will visit often. We will have a lot of partnership together anyway. I will bring in some food."
"Sure, thank you," Sakuma said.
[Pupa: Ding! Fatemeter increases to 20%.]
[What about his Breakmeter?]
[Pupa: Still 0%.]
Yunyu frowned, in fact, he still didn\'t understand what kind of thing would trigger the Breakmeter. It was said that Sakuma Hoshino wished for companionship, but Yunyu already said that he would visit often, but the Breakmeter didn\'t get triggered at all.
He started to wonder if he should romance Sakuma quickly, but he seemed to be hard to approach.
The transporter activated and Yukio\'s body disappeared in a flash alongside the transporter. The thin smile on Sakuma\'s face vanished, he asked his AI, "W41-FU, give me the current data of Amano-San."
The AI showed a hologram full of body data of Yukio Amano. Sakuma studied it for a minute, and then nodded, "Make sure that everything functions normally, he should not find out about it."
"Yes, Master. The configuration for emergency situations has been activated, Master is within control," the AI said. Sakuma nodded and fixed his glasses, it was all according to his perfect plan.

Yukio returned instantly to Neo Yokto, and as it turned out, the transporter brought him straight to his room. A medium-sized rented room in Neo Yokto, it was quite messy, since Yukio rarely returned home other than sleeping after a long day.
The landlord was a kind old man whom he helped, and after finding out that he was helping people as a vigilante, he gave one room for free.
Though busy, he always returned every day to rest, Yukio was surprised when he saw that his room was dusty, and there was a message in his room monitor. When he checked the message, it was from his landlord, asking him if he was alright. Since he had been missing for almost a week.
"A week?!" Yunyu almost jumped out of fright. He thought he only left for a few days, how could it suddenly turn into a week?
"How long have I been unconscious in Sakuma\'s lab?" Yunyu asked.
"It took me five days to fix myself due to the damage and returned to you, so yeah, you have been unconscious for almost a week," Pupa replied.
Yunyu felt weird, he looked at the digital calendar and it was true, he was missing for five days. Yunyu hurriedly sent a message to his landlord, telling him that he was alright. Then he looked outside the window and saw that it was already late at night.
"Alright, since I\'ve been missing for five days, many things must\'ve happened. I should help more people, let\'s go, Pupa!" Yunyu thought about a spring jump, and the biochip naturally modified his feet to have the strength to hop from one building to another.
Pupa turned invisible again and they left the room to do another day of thankless vigilante work. Meanwhile, Sakuma heard everything in his room, and he wondered, "Who is Pupa?"
