Chapter 12: Chapter: 12
"Alright, Pepper. Wait here for me, and don't you dare open your eyes and peek ahead of time!
I'll go get the things now, just wait for me."
Pepper had just arrived at the entrance today when Tony led her to the underground garage of the villa. To give her a better surprise, Tony had Jarvis search the internet for him using Mark's method. So, using the methods he learned online, Tony blindfolded Pepper along the way.
"Is it alright, Tony? What's the matter anyway? I wanted to get the robot that Mark gave me," Pepper said.
"Forget about Mark," Tony walked up behind her and gently took off her blindfold. "Now it's my turn to give you a gift. Look at this."
Pepper followed Tony's pointing finger and saw a pink mini suitcase, even smaller than Baymax's charging case.
The surface of the suitcase had a matte finish, giving it a stylish and beautiful appearance. In the center of the front, there was a yellow LED light strip in the shape of hearts, obviously a special design for women.
Seeing all this in front of her, Pepper's girlish heart was about to burst with excitement. Her watery eyes sparkled with a different kind of brilliance.
"Go for it, Dad!" Mark, who was secretly observing everything outside the glass door of the garage, quietly cheered Tony on.
Tony looked at him and nodded in acknowledgment. "I got it."
"Hey! I hope Dad can handle this. He's even more innocent in front of someone he likes than a virgin. I wonder if this great atmosphere will ruin everything. But thanks to what happened with Sister Pepper, I remembered the 'happiness' of spending money on skins in my past life. I should design a few more skins for the popular version of the personal health assistant and provide a personalized service for the wealthy. I want the people of this universe to experience the joy of microtransactions too, hehe~ hehe~"
Ignoring Mark, who was already indulging in his own delusions, Tony was ready to take action.
"How about it, do you like it? This is a personal health assistant specially customized for you—Diamond Barbie!" Tony introduced.
Upon hearing Tony's introduction, Pepper, who was originally very excited, suddenly had a black line on her face. "You're not telling me the truth, are you? Is it really called that?"
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Tony quickly changed his words. "Uh, that name is what Mark called it. The robot's system hasn't been named yet, so now you can give it a name you like."
Tony led Pepper, holding her hand, to the specially customized pink robot. He reached out and tapped the heart-shaped symbol in the center of the pink portable charging case.
Buzz~ Buzz~
Just like the design of Baymax, the lid of the pink case opened, and the robot enclosed within it began to automatically inflate.
In no time, the specially customized, limited edition personal health assistant that Mark had designed and gifted to Pepper appeared perfectly in front of the two of them.
The pink polyvinyl carbon fiber skin was covered with graphene film, making it not only more solid and durable, but also giving it a cute and lovable feeling compared to Baymax's gentleness.
At the same time, in order to better suit Pepper's aesthetic preferences, Mark reduced its height in the design, from Baymax's 2.6 meters to 1.7 meters, and its body was slimmer and more slender than Baymax's.
To compress the reminders to such a degree, Tony had put a lot of effort into it as well. Firstly, the internal graphene battery was replaced with a miniature version of the Ark Reactor, smaller than the one on Tony's chest, capable of supporting this customized model to function normally for a hundred years or engage in combat mode for an hour.
The interior was also equipped with a holographic projector and emergency and daily medicine kits specifically designed for women, not to mention the various functional chips designed by Mark.
Thanks to the compression of its size, after being stored in the charging case, it was not only small in size but also lightweight, weighing only 1.4 kilograms, allowing Pepper to carry it with her whether at home, in the office, on a trip, or on a business trip.
"Diamond Barbie Series Unit One at your service, Master. Hello, I am your personal health assistant, life assistant, personal chef... and personal bodyguard."
After Diamond Barbie Unit One finished introducing its functions with a clear and pleasant customized loli voice, Tony wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead and said, "Now you can go and give it a name."
"My program has already set Ms. Pepper as my sole owner based on the information in the database. Please allow me to scan and collect your biological features. After the initial authentication is complete, you can rename me."
"Alright." Pepper walked up to Diamond Barbie, although she was disgusted with the name, but looking at its exquisite appearance, cute image, and the imminent naming privilege, Pepper felt that these details didn't matter anymore.
"Scanning commencing—Scan complete. Recording information, authentication complete. Master, please give me a name."
"Nini!" Before the robot could finish speaking, Pepper blurted out the name she had already thought of, without any hesitation.
Tony, who was standing beside them, also felt that the name was very fitting after hearing it. It inexplicably felt like this name had some affinity with him too! It seemed like today's plan was very successful.
"Modification complete. Today is July 17, 2010. From now on, Nini will take care of the Master's daily life, protect the Master's life and physical health. Please take good care of me, Master." After saying these words, Nini raised her little hand and bowed a standard ninety-degree bow.
Pepper's overflowing teenage heart was about to melt when she saw this scene. "Nini, I'll rely on you from now on."
"Understood, Master. If there are no other requests, please evaluate my services. Nini can enter sleep mode only after the Master is satisfied."
"I am very satisfied, Nini. You can rest now."
With a satisfactory evaluation, Nini moved step by step back to the case. After deflating and folding, it once again transformed into a fashionable suitcase.
It's worth mentioning that due to the reduced size, Nini could move with more normal steps. However, to conserve energy and prevent collisions with valuable objects, its movements remained as slow as Baymax's in low-power mode.
"How about it? Do you like the gift I gave you?" Tony seized the opportunity to ask the question in his heart.
"Of course, I like it, but this is a gift from Mark to me. What does it have to do with you?" Pepper held onto Nini's charging case lovingly and completely missed the love signal Tony was sending.
"You can't say that. I provided some technical suggestions for Nini's design and manufacturing, and last night, I used my father's authority to urge Mark to work overtime and transform it to its current perfect state. So, of course, this can be considered as my gift too."
Upon hearing this, Mark outside the door couldn't help but shiver. If it wasn't for Tony's relentless monetary pressure last night, he wouldn't have let Tony babble nonsense inside.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's consider it as a gift from you and Mark together. Thank you, Tony." After saying that, Pepper put down the charging case she was hugging and gave Tony a big hug, making the experienced player in love blush a little.
"Pepper, actually, I have one more thing I would like to ask for your help with today. Before that, could you show me your hand?"
