VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"Wow, is that really what I think it is?"

They had finally gathered in the main assembly room after their refreshments and were standing before all the stuff gathered in one empty room of her apartment house.

All the components of the chariot, from the smallest screws to the biggest outer coating of the lightest and toughest fiber were placed here.

"Yup. A fresh RWX3990."

The suitcase that he was carrying personally contained exactly twelve super important microchips whiteout which, this entire equipment would be useless.

"Damn, man!"

Including the red chip, all of the shiny chips with the little elements moving inside of them were like pieces of the finest jewelry in her eyes.

She was an enthusiast like him so she had collected a lot of stuff to make the chariots that they use as well, but none of them contained chips that were present here.

"Have you tried them? Does yours also have these? How's the performance? What about the acceptance rate? How much does it consume on a bad day? How about the L-ratio?" Your journey continues at empire

She was in her work attire like him now, so as she spoke with those stars in her eyes, the others couldn't help but chuckle at her excitement.

"It's always fun looking at her when she's like that."

"Right?"

Elio and Olive were going to sit out for this one. They didn't understand even a third of what they were talking about aside from the simple things, and getting in the way of these two would only hinder them.

"It's not as amazing as your homemade ones. Even Yevvy and I use that one after you gifted us that, but since Olive's just starting out, I thought these would be better for her."

A chariot was a high end, sensitive device that not just anyone can have.

Not only was it a costly piece of equipment, it was also something that needed a certain kind of environment that not everyone can produce in their houses.

The little components that these equipment were made of were delicate, and if there's a rat inside this machine, or if there's a cat that likes to sleep in the cabinet of these chariots, or if there's unusual environmental conditions, the chances of something going wrong were elevated.

That's why it was advised to get insurance for these things. Though…

"Hehehe, let's get started then~."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

You cannot do it for the ones that you are assembling yourself.

"Yeah… it's going to be fun."

Especially with the things that were practically separated till its last screw. It wasn't just an assembly at that point, it was simply something beyond that.

And the two of them that weren't working with the rest of them knew that well.

There were a few things that they needed to do here now that they were starting, but nothing contained helping them with anything.

"The Z-tool."

With Alex and her dad at the center, the two started from the base circuit and started assembling the motherboard.

The first of the many chips that were going to be the brain of the equipment were going to be here, then the chip that will maintain the connection with the big net, then the one that will maintain the house's system with the other parts of the device.

One of the chips was going to be in charge of the in-device safety system, so they needed to check for it intensively.

"Jack, start with the cabinet."

Instead of making the big things first, they started with the most important things and then moved to the things that were less important.

They played with a few devices while they were assembling, but when they were working, their attention to each and every detail, to even the simplest of the wires was unbelievable.

"Here, everyone~. Have some water!"

Olive knew the two of her tech junkies. They were sometimes so engrossed in their work that they even forget there existed an entire world outside of their little world.

"Alex, no you aren't doing that without gloves! You will bleed again!"

Some fine works required special equipment while some technical things required safety measures, and Alex obviously didn't mind a few of them.

"Jeez, it's alright Elio."

Even his uncle, who was almost always a strict person with the rules and safety, ignored a few things that Alex did since he knew she wouldn't hurt herself even if she wanted to.

She was a kind of genius that he had not seen many times in his field. Her attention to details was admirable in itself, but her fineness with her work, the delicacy of her artistic style in things that had nothing to do with art, and her experience… even he didn't think he had as much experience with opening up and putting back machines as she did.

She was amazing…

"Alright, we're finally done with the first part~!"

He had known about her even before Elio introduced her to him when he brought her to their home a few years ago.

She was a famous personality within the research society since she was one of the few notorious individuals that had owned many patents and was an anonymous publisher of many papers that gave insight into so many things it was helpful to many of them in many areas.

No one knew who she was or how she would have come up with some of the ideas and research that she had conducted and recorded on those records, no one knew why she was anonymous, and everyone wanted to know her qualifications, her field, her career achievements.

Yet, when he met him, the person he found was not some elderly expert that had dedicated their lives to academics and science.

Instead, he met a cheerful young woman that did not even attend school, much less any university.

She was just someone that loved her craft, and she did a lot of things to find out the answers to the questions that Many of them had asked themselves and each other for years…

She found her side of answers, and though not all of them were proven, she, as the creators of those articles and papers, was a respected figure in the industry because she had shared all her findings with the world.

"Sean! Don't start without me! Lemme finish this part first!"

He had not had as much fun doing these things as he did after meeting this person.

There was something bright in her that enlightened everything around her.

"Hey Alex! No! How can you take it away like that! I was working on it!"

"No! We will do it together! This is supposed to be the last part!"

"Why can't we do the last part simultaneously?!"

"We can't do that! Hmph!"

"Of course we can! Gimme that!"

He didn't know what happened to her in <NO> but she used to be someone that had guided a lot of rankers, high rankers, saints, sages, archmages, rulers, even gods.

She was nothing like usual natives or the usual players.

She wasn't even widely known…

Yet, for those that had ever known her, like him who knew her in reality and in that other world, like Elio who shared a significant part of his life with her, and like Olive who was like a sister to her… she was someone irreplaceable.

"Ugh! You two! Stop it right there!"

"Alex! Put it down this instant! You're going to break that thing!"

She was fun to have around, even with these not-so-simple perks.
