"Was I always this bold?"
Mo Xuan muttered to himself as he weaved through the traffic on his motorcycle. When he was an office worker on Earth, he had no confidence when it came to women. Exchanging contact information was his limit. Asking someone out for coffee was something he wouldn't even dare to think about. But the conversation just now had flowed smoothly, without any hesitation. He didn't know where the confidence came from.
Mo Xuan thought about it and felt it was the confidence given to him by the Rider belts. He had been elevated now, from an ordinary person to a Kamen Rider with power. He had a feeling that no matter what happened, he could face it calmly with the power of a Rider, which in turn offset all his escapist tendencies. He had become confident from head to toe.
Returning to his shop-house in Sixth Street, Mo Xuan was filled with emotion. New Eridu was the most prosperous city in this world. According to the siphon effect, this place must be extremely expensive. Perhaps because he was in his own home when he transmigrated, Mo Xuan also got a place to live when he came to this world. At least he didn't have to worry about things like housing and utilities. Otherwise, even a Rider would be stumped by money.
"Master Tinman, I'm back."
Mo Xuan greeted the robot barista inside through the shop window. The barista, with its metallic head, responded in a friendly tone. "Mo Xuan is back. Want some coffee?"
"I'll have some tonight."
After saying this, Mo Xuan drove around the shop, came to the parking lot behind it, and parked his motorcycle under the awning. He went up the safety stairs attached to the wall, and after reaching the second floor, he opened the door with his key and entered his home.
The entire second floor of the coffee shop was Mo Xuan's residence. Although he didn't know who the property owner was, he had been living here since he came to this world. Other than paying for utilities, there were no other expenses. At first, he thought it was Master Tinman's residence, but after talking, he learned that this house had been vacant for a long time. It didn't know who the previous owner was. Since it had become Mo Xuan's home, Master Tinman naturally wouldn't meddle. The people living in Sixth Street were of the "less trouble, the better" type.
Entering the door was a spacious living room. In this living room were many pieces of fitness equipment. Tension, push, grip, and other devices were all available. Anyway, he lived alone, so Mo Xuan had turned this place into a gym. When he had nothing to do, he would train his body to adapt to the intensity brought by the Rider belts.
So, it's different when a person has something to look forward to. When Mo Xuan was an office worker before, even taking out the trash felt like a chore. If he could lie down, he wouldn't sit. Go to the gym? The thought of it made him laugh. But now, his self-discipline was terrifying. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't train for a day. After all, he had the identity of a Rider now. He couldn't learn from a certain someone and get a potbelly before putting on the suit. That would be inappropriate.
The house was not quiet. The moment Mo Xuan entered, he heard the sound of a punching bag being hit. Looking down, he saw a doll that looked a bit like a penguin punching with its arms. Every punch on the small punching bag made a powerful sound. Its height was about up to Mo Xuan's knee. It had a black hat on its head, and under the hat were two large, round eyes. This was the specialty device of this world, a Bangboo.
"I'm back, Stand-boo."
Mo Xuan greeted his Bangboo. The Bangboo also raised its arm and made a powerful gesture at him. "ORA!"
The Stand-boo let out a powerful sound, which was why Mo Xuan called it Stand-boo. This high-tech product called a Bangboo was an auxiliary artificial intelligence device. Simply put, it was an AI that assisted humans with its super intelligence and learning ability. They were involved in a wide range of fields, and you could see them everywhere. There were suitable jobs for them in every nook and cranny.
Because of the Bangboo's learning ability and work efficiency, they could already replace humans in many tasks. And they had the ability to think for themselves. In this world, you could see many robots with self-awareness. Bangboos were actually a member of this type. But compared to the androids with human rights, Bangboos didn't have these benefits. They were auxiliary items created by humans, so you could use them when you wanted and discard them when you didn't, even if they had consciousness.
This Stand-boo next to Mo Xuan was one he had picked up from a recycling bin. At that time, he just wanted to study this novel thing called a Bangboo, so he picked it back up and tried to fix it himself. The result, of course, was a complete failure. Its performance was even worse than before he fixed it.
During that period, Mo Xuan had nothing much to do, so he asked Master Tinman to help him get some books on Bangboo repair to study on his own. The result was also very gratifying. He could understand every word in the book, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand them. It was like everything could deceive you, but advanced mathematics wouldn't. If you don't know advanced math, you just don't know it.
The Bangboo's repair was put on hold. Until one day at four in the morning, Mo Xuan randomly got the Build Driver and the Genius Fullbottle combination. This gave him a burst of inspiration.
As Mo Xuan struck a transformation pose and inserted the Genius Fullbottle into the Build Driver, amidst a flamboyant sound effect of "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!", he transformed into the Genius Form, with sixty Fullbottles inserted all over his body. These bottles didn't just affect the suit, but also the IQ of the person inside.
Mo Xuan could only sigh that the Genius Form was worthy of its name. The things he couldn't understand before, he understood them all with a single glance. He immediately set to work, modifying the semi-abandoned Bangboo into its current form and even adding the functions he needed. After making good use of the Rider's power, solving problems was just that easy.
Mo Xuan named this reborn Bangboo "Stand-boo" because it could imitate Mo Xuan's appearance to a certain extent. For example, when lying on the ground playing dead, it was identical. You absolutely couldn't tell the difference without an instrument check. As an outstanding Rider, of course Mo Xuan wouldn't disappear every time he fought. If he disappeared and the Rider appeared, any fool would know it was him. So, a substitute ability was essential. The existence of the Bangboo was indeed a great help.
As for how the Bangboo achieved its mimicry, that was thanks to Aether. The specific operating steps could be explained by the Genius Form. It wasn't here today, so we'll have to talk about it next time.
