After hearing what Lin Yu said, Ohara Nanako nodded happily.

He took the tablet Lin Yu handed him and carefully looked through the proposal, nodding occasionally: "This hot spring hotel in Hakone has a very good reputation. They want to bundle the white snake wine with the hot spring package and are even willing to make exclusive packaging with cherry blossom patterns printed on it. It's a perfect fit."

She paused, then looked up at Lin Yu. "But they're demanding a supply of 500 bottles per month. Can your current production capacity meet that?"

Chapter 281 The "Robot Companions" at the Kindergarten

Lin Yu smiled as he recalled the white snake farm in the Westworld, saying, "That's enough! Tongchuan said before that the newly hatched white snakes have already started eating, and we can expand the breeding scale next spring, at which time the production capacity can double."

Just then, Shin-chan suddenly ran out of the room holding up a piece of drawing paper: "Nanako-neechan, look at the robot I drew!"

The robot on the drawing paper has a silver body with the Action Kamen logo drawn on its arms, and next to it is written crookedly, "For Kasukabe Defense Force Use Only".

Nana squatted down and patted Shin-chan's head: "You drew it so well!"

Upon hearing Nana's praise, Shin-chan immediately cheered and ran to call Kazama to boast about this "good news."

At noon, Lin Yu took Nana to a cafe in Tokyo to discuss a collaboration with a representative of a hot spring hotel. The representative was a middle-aged man in a sharp suit, holding a packaging design sketch in his hand: "Mr. Lin Yu, take a look at this packaging. The front has a white snake pattern, and the back has the hotel logo and the slogan 'Warm Body, Warm Heart.' What do you think?"

Lin Yu took the design from the representative. Nana, who was standing next to him, curiously came over. She glanced at it and whispered, "This color is a bit too dark. How about changing the white snake pattern to gold? It would match the amber color of the wine better." The representative's eyes lit up: "That's a great suggestion! We'll go revise the design right away, and we can have a sample next week."

After discussing the collaboration, Lin Yu took Nanako for a walk along the streets of Tokyo. A gentle breeze swirled up fallen leaves, which landed on Nanako's hair. Lin Yu immediately reached out to remove them for her. "It's getting late, shall I take you home?" Nanako nodded.

After Ohara Nanako returned the price, Lin Yu specially brought a few bottles of White Snake Wine to the Western World for Okabe and Wanma to try. A white light flashed, and the wind blew up the yellow sand. Lin Yu subconsciously closed his eyes, otherwise it would be unpleasant to have the yellow sand blown into his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw that in the greenhouse not far away, Tongchuan was adding the raw meat that the white snake needed to an automatic feeder.

Upon seeing the white snake wine in Lin Yu's hand, Tong Chuan quickly finished adding the raw meat to his bowl and then immediately ran towards the white snake wine.

"Lin Yu, you finally brought the White Snake Wine! Wanma and I have been craving it for ages!" Seeing the eager look on Tongchuan's face, Lin Yu smiled and said, "What's the rush? I brought it for you, didn't I?"

"By the way, where's Wanma?"

Okegawa pointed towards the residence and said, "Ganma went to take a nap after checking the ore, but he hasn't woken up yet!"

Upon hearing this, a wicked idea popped into Lin Yu's head: "Let's go see if the taste of the White Snake Wine can wake him up." Tong Chuan was also someone who would immediately join the group.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's wicked idea, she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll record it for him with my phone." The two then went to Wanma's room, where Wanma was still fast asleep.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu immediately opened a bottle of White Snake Wine and held the bottle to Wanma's nose. After smelling the aroma of the White Snake Wine in his sleep, Wanma was awakened by the fragrance in less than three minutes.

Seeing this, Tongchuan and Lin Yu burst into laughter. Wanma, who had just realized he had been paired with someone else, was also amused by his own reaction.

Not long after, Lin Yu and the other two appeared in the yard and started grilling skewers. They ate the skewers while drinking the white snake wine that Lin Yu had brought.

After taking a sip, Tongchuan was amazed. The alcohol content of the sake was not low, but the taste was not spicy. Instead, it was so smooth that it made you want to keep drinking it.

"Wow, Lin Yu, your wine is amazing! No wonder so many people want to buy it!" Wanma said, seeing Tongchuan's reaction. "Is it really that good?"

"Hmm! You should try it." Wanma, still somewhat skeptical, drank the white snake wine in front of him. The taste was smooth and not harsh at all. "It's really delicious!"

After several rounds of drinks, only Lin Yu remained fully conscious, while the other two had already passed out. Therefore, Lin Yu had no choice but to take on the responsibility of carrying the two back home.

After he manipulated this undeniable hand to bring Okegawa and Gunma Ban back, he also returned to the real world.

......

Lin Yu, who had just finished get off work, saw a courier standing at the door. After signing for the package, he opened the light brown cardboard box in his hand. Inside the box were two bottles of White Snake Wine with new labels, which were samples from the collaboration with the hot spring hotel yesterday.

Lin Yu picked up one of the bottles. The frosted glass bottle gleamed warmly in the light. The front of the bottle featured a golden white snake with a few pink cherry blossom petals wrapped around its body. The back was printed with the words "Warm Body, Warm Heart" in black lettering, which was limited to hot springs, and the hotel's logo was engraved below.

Nanako's suggestion was indeed excellent.

Xiao Chun, who had just come downstairs, noticed the bottles of wine in Lin Yu's hand and curiously approached him. "Yu, is this the limited-edition packaging from the hot spring hotel we collaborated on yesterday? It's so pretty!"

Lin Yu nodded. "It does look quite nice, very eye-catching." He opened the newly packaged bottle, and the amber-colored liquid was slowly poured into a glass next to him, with a faint fruity aroma mixed with the fragrance of wine wafting out.

Just then, Nana walked in from outside. Her eyes lit up when she saw the wine glass. "This is the new packaging? The design of the golden white snake with cherry blossoms is such a perfect match for the hot spring atmosphere!"

Ohara Nanako leaned over and sniffed. "The scent seems softer than before. Is it just my imagination?"

Lin Yu explained, "No, this is liquor infused with white snakes, which makes the taste smoother." Smiling, Lin Yu handed over a glass and continued, "However, it's still in the trial production stage. The hot spring hotel would like to try selling 200 bottles first."

Just then, Lin Yu's phone rang; it was Hei Ji calling.

“Mr. Lin Yu, three pharmacies in Osaka have jointly placed an additional order for 300 bottles of White Snake Wine, and two izakayas in Tokyo want to collaborate, saying that they are getting more and more customers who want warming wine, and they specifically asked if we could customize bottles with their izakaya logos to attract regular customers.”

Heiji's voice was full of excitement: "By the way, the two hot spring guesthouses we contacted last week have also replied, saying they saw this hotel cooperation case and want to book some as well."

“A custom bottle is no problem.” Lin Yu said to Hei Ji while playing with the glass in his hand. After hanging up the phone, he saw Xiao Xin run over holding an Action Kamen toy, staring at the white snake wine sample on the table. “Yu, this golden snake is so cool! Can you make me a custom label? It should have an Action Kamen design printed on it!”

Just as Shin-chan finished speaking, Yaya appeared out of nowhere and said, "Shin-chan, Lin Yu is talking about serious business, so don't cause trouble here!" Lin Yu smiled and didn't say anything.

......

On Friday morning, Lin Yu watched as the borrowed truck delivered the optimized indoor robot to Kasukabe Kindergarten.

As soon as the car stopped at the gate, I saw Takakura Bunta and the kindergarten teachers waiting. The children were all leaning on the fence, their little heads huddled together, curiously looking outside.

"Lin Yu, we've been waiting for you!" Takakura Bunta stepped forward and shook Lin Yu's hand, his eyes crinkling with laughter. "These past few days, the children have been asking every single day when the 'robot' is coming. They've even been talking about having the robot read all sorts of picture books to them during their afternoon nap!"

Lin Yu unloaded the robot from the truck. The off-white body had a few more cartoon stickers on it than before, and a small Kamen Rider image was printed next to the touch screen on its chest, which was specially added according to Shin-chan's request.

"Wow! It's Action Kamen again!" Shin-chan was the first to rush over and touch the sticker on the robot. "Robot brother, can you say 'Action Beam'?"

The robot's touchscreen flashed and emitted a sound almost identical to that in the animation: "Dynamic Beam - biubiubiu!"

This made the children laugh and gather around, asking them a barrage of questions.

"Robot brother, I want to hear 'The Story of Little Bear'!"

"I want to learn arithmetic!"

I want you to play hide-and-seek with me!

Upon seeing this, Ms. Yoshinaga immediately smiled and maintained order: "Everyone, don't rush, one at a time. The robot will play with everyone."

Lin Yu looked at the children lining up in a crooked line and a smile curved his lips.

Ms. Ageo, who was standing nearby, came over and whispered, "I was worried that the robot would distract the children, but it seems I was overthinking it. Look how focused they are."

As they were talking, Zheng Nan walked over with a book called "A Day in the Life of a Little Rabbit." The robot gently took the picture book and began to read it in a soft, sweet voice. When it got to the key parts, the robotic arm would sway gently. Zheng Nan watched without blinking.

At lunchtime, the robot even helped distribute the food.

Its robotic arm uses a small spoon to precisely scoop rice into each child's bowl, its movements gentle and fast, much faster than a teacher serving meals.

Ah-Dai accidentally spilled soup on the table. The robot immediately pushed over with a small cart, wiped it clean with a soft cloth, and said gently, "Little friend, be careful, you'll get burned if you spill soup."

It suddenly started to drizzle during outdoor activities in the afternoon, and the children were a little disappointed. But then the robot suddenly said, "It's okay, we can play a 'guess the animal' game indoors! I'll imitate animal sounds, and you can guess what they are, okay?"

It first imitated the meow of a kitten, then the bark of a puppy, and the children were having a great time guessing. Their initial disappointment quickly vanished.

When parents came to pick up their children after school, they were surprised to see the robot.

Many parents said, "My child will definitely talk about robots when he comes home today. He even brought his doll this morning, saying he wants to 'fight alongside' the robot."

Another mother said, "My child says he wants to come to kindergarten earlier in the future because the robot brother will read picture books with him. This is much less troublesome than urging him to go to school before."

Seeing this, Takakura Bunta took Lin Yu's hand and said gratefully, "Lin Yu, thank you so much! With this robot, the children love coming to kindergarten even more, and it makes things much easier for us teachers. If there are any new features in the future, please be the first to tell us!"

Lin Yu nodded: "Don't worry, I'll bring it over for the kids to try as soon as the voice system is optimized next time."

It was already 7 p.m. when they got back to the Nohara house. Shin-chan asked for his favorite French fries from the food tablecloth, and Hiroshi asked for his favorite miso soup.

At the dinner table, Shin-chan was still excitedly talking about what happened at kindergarten: "Yu, the robot brother imitated a pig's squeal today, and it sounded so good! Next time I want it to imitate the transformation sound effect of Action Kamen, so I can transform with it!"

“Great! Once it’s all set up, we’ll go to kindergarten and play with the robots.” Lin Yu said with a smile. Guangzhi took a sip of the white snake wine and sighed contentedly, “My colleagues all rushed to try the wine I brought today. They all said it tasted better than ginger wine and asked me where they could buy it. I gave them Heiji’s contact information. Maybe we’ll get a few more orders.”

Just as Heiji's phone rang amidst the laughter in the living room, Lin Yu was helping Xiaochun put the dried yarn into a bamboo basket. The light gray mohair gloves were already finished, with a thin circle of white yarn still adorning the fingertips.

"Mr. Lin Yu, the 200 bottles of trial wine from that hot spring hotel sold out in just three days!" Hei Ji's voice was as excited as popping candy. "The guests all said that the amber-colored wine paired with the cherry blossom and golden snake bottle looks like a work of art. Some guests even added two nights of hot spring package just for the wine. The hotel wants to increase the monthly supply to 800 bottles."

Lin Yu squeezed the soft texture of the gloves and replied with a smile, "Have them send over the new order contract. I'll take a look at it later. By the way, what about the izakaya's exclusive packaging?"

“It’s all set up!” Heiji paused and continued, “The bottles from the ‘Tsukimi’ izakaya in Ginza have their unique moon logo printed on them. The owner said that as soon as they were put on the counter yesterday, 30 bottles were pre-ordered by a customer who said they wanted to give them as souvenirs to friends!”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu returned to his room and began reviewing the contract that Blackie had reversed. After finishing the contract, he opened the document and started writing a new chapter for "Akame ga Kill!". On the screen, Tatsumi and Akame were discussing how to infiltrate the Empire's armory...

Lin Yu's fingers flew across the keyboard, and before he knew it, he was writing late into the night, the images of the article in his mind forming in his mind. Lin Yu looked out the window and saw that the night in Kasukabe was very quiet, with the light from the streetlights casting gentle spots of light on his desk through the window.

The following afternoon, Lin Yu arrived at the construction site as soon as he finished work. President Sato was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Lin Yu, he quickly led several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners to greet him.

“Mr. Lin Yu, the foreign guests you mentioned have indeed arrived! We just adjusted the height of the robotic arm at our construction site yesterday, so it’s a good opportunity for them to see how efficient we are at moving steel bars.”

The outdoor robot, with its silver-gray tracks, made almost no sound as it rolled over the gravel. Mr. Hans, one of the foreign representatives, pointed to the robotic arm and asked, "Can it move a 3-ton mining steel pipe?"

Lin Yu waved to the robot, and the robotic arm slowly rose. The sensors on its fingertips precisely gripped both ends of the steel pipe, and it was steadily lifted onto the 2-meter-high transport vehicle in no more than 20 seconds.

Chapter 282 The New Home Party!

"We tested its tracks in the mine and found they could handle a 55-degree slope on the mountain road, and the wear-resistant coating on the robotic arm could withstand the scratches from the ore."

Lin Yu handed over a test report. When Hans turned to the page on "10-year service life", his eyes lit up: "We are in dire need of this kind of practical equipment in our mines in the Ruhr region. Can we order 20 units first? We will need to make adjustments based on the terrain of the mines later."

“Our technicians will go to the Ruhr region with you, and we’ll have an adjustment plan ready within a week.” Lin Yu’s words made Hans laugh even harder, and he patted Lin Yu on the shoulder: “I’ve heard that the robots you developed can solve practical problems, and today I’ve seen it for myself.”

[Ding! Get to know Hans]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a white treasure chest]

[Ding! Hans's favorability has increased; a green treasure chest has been obtained.]
