A Valiant Life

Panda Novel

“Is this for real? Could it be some kind of act?”

“Act my a*s. Take a closer look. This post was uploaded by the Shanghai Official Weibo. Do you think they would spread false information?”

“Are those really the artificial limbs developed by Master Lin? That’s too f*cking incredible, isn’t it?”

“These artificial limbs can be used to run like that and kick like that and they can even be worn when showering. That’s way too valiant. And did you guys notice how the artificial limbs attached to their bodies? It was like a seamless connection!”

“I’ve watched it several times already and I watched it very closely. It really seemed like a seamless connection.”

“These artificial limbs are only retailing for three thousand each? You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“Can’t you see for yourself? The Shanghai Official Weibo has already stated that it will only be three thousand each. That’s too d*mn cheap. And did you see the description? These artificial limbs can automatically adjust themselves. When children use these artificial limbs, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of growing out of these artificial limbs. These artificial limbs will automatically adjust according to the user’s growth. That’s way too valiant.”

“D*mn. I understand now. It turns out that Master Lin wasn’t bragging at all. He really succeeded.”

“Haha, I told you so. How could someone as awesome as Master Lin be bragging? You guys didn’t believe me. Now that you’ve seen the outcome, what do you have to say?”

“I’m convinced. I have nothing more to say. He’s f*cking awesome.”

In an instant, the Internet had completely blown up.

In a certain city, a young man saw the video and leaped up from his seat. Then, he started hurrying home excitedly.

When he saw his wife lying on the sofa and watching the television, he approached her delightedly.

“Wife,” the young man hollered. But his wife, who was lying on the sofa, just nodded dully.

The young man started playing the video and fast-forwarded it before passing it to his wife. “Wife, take a look at this video.”

The woman looked at the video. In the video, children were happily running around, kicking a ball around. She was very jealous. In the past, she used to be like this as well. But after a car accident, her life had changed.

She used artificial limbs too but she felt that it was very uncomfortable. When she walked, it felt very strange. When others looked at her, it was clear that she had a problem with her legs. Moreover, the cold metal on her artificial limbs always made her feel miserable.

“Did you see that?” the man exclaimed excitedly.

The woman nodded. “I did.”

“I’m asking you if you could tell what was wrong with those children,” said the man.

The woman shook her head. “There’s nothing wrong with them. They’re all very happy and cheerful.”

The man rewound the video to the first scene. “Take a look at this.”

The woman turned her head to the phone. When she started watching the video, she couldn’t turn her head away.

That child in the wheelchair had both legs crippled and she looked very pitiful. But as the video continued to play, she saw an old lady bring a set of artificial legs over and the girl put them on.

Then, upon putting on the artificial legs, the girl completely changed. She suddenly became extremely nimble.

“How is that possible?” the woman said in disbelief.

The man replied, “It’s real. These are the perfect artificial limbs developed by Master Lin. Look at all these children. They are all disabled but, after putting on the artificial limbs, they seem completely normal.”

“Could it be fake?” The woman looked up at the man. She knew who Master Lin was but the scene shown in the video was really hard to believe.

The man said excitedly, “How could it be fake? These were developed by Master Lin and the Shanghai government’s official Weibo account already announced that they will be collaborating with Eastern Han Organization to manufacture it.”

“Then it must be very expensive,” said the woman. They weren’t very well-to-do. In her mind, such perfect artificial limbs were probably very expensive. They might even cause up to $200,000.

“It’s not expensive at all. It only costs three thousand dollars each,” said the man. He hadn’t expected such perfect artificial limbs to be sold for just three thousand dollars. In the past, he had bought a set of artificial limbs for his wife for over twenty thousand dollars but those weren’t good at all.

The woman’s eyes widened as she muttered in disbelief, “Three thousand dollars…”

…

In Bor Artificial Limbs Company’s conference room, all the executives were sat. They had just received the notice and they had quickly called a meeting. They had no idea what had happened but they all turned silent upon watching the video.

“Do you think that our product can be improved to such a standard?” the boss spoke with worry written all over his face.

After watching the video, his first thought was that it was definitely a f*cking act. How could those artificial limbs be so f*cking awesome?

But later on, he understood that it was all real. Because this video had been posted by the Shanghai government. How could it be an act?

If those artificial limbs were really as good as the video showed, there was only one outcome for the company. They were done for. They were completely and undeniably done for.

“It can’t.”

“Boss, it must be an act. How could an artificial limb possibly do all that?”

“Yeah. They look way too nimble. The video is definitely fake.”

“Even the most high-tech artificial limbs in the world aren’t as good as these.”

“Look at how they connect so seamlessly. It’s obviously fake.”

The executives of the company kept rambling one after another. They couldn’t believe what was in the video at all. It was really too unreal.

It was so unreal that it was scary.

“No, this is real. These are the perfect artificial limbs developed by Master Lin.”

When the boss of the company said this, everyone on site was astounded. One of them shot up from his seat.

“That’s not possible. That Master Lin doesn’t even understand this line of work, how could he develop this?”

The boss looked at him. “Then tell me. What is this?”

“This…”

Everyone was lost for words. They didn’t know how to reply to that.

They suddenly realized that this situation was about to become terrifying. If the video was real and those artificial limbs were to appear on the market, they would be completely done for.

Moreover, the most important part was that these artificial limbs were too f*cking cheap.

Three thousand dollars? How could they compete against that?

At that moment, Bor Artificial Limbs Company wasn’t the only one in distress. All the other artificial limb companies were the same.

There weren’t many people in this line of work and there were even less who were successful. The market could be said to be dominated by just a few companies. Hence, the price of artificial limbs was very high.

After all, these were high-tech products, not just normal products.

But now that these perfect artificial limbs had appeared, they had been met with a brick wall.

“No. We can’t just sit idly by. We have to protest. We have to file a lawsuit. These perfect artificial limbs from Master Lin would monopolize and ruin our marketplace.”

“That’s right.”

At that moment, throughout the country, all the artificial limbs companies banded together and decided not to sit idly by. Otherwise, they would be heading towards a dead end.
