Chapter 993

Emily furrowed her brow in silence, looking troubled. When Matthew noticed her hesitation, he smiled and said, "Professor Bolton, if you can't contact anyone in this field, I can ask around elsewhere."

Emily glanced at him and stated indifferently, "I know too many people. I wouldn't even know where to start."

With that, she pulled out her phone and began scrolling through her contacts. As she flipped through her list, she muttered, "This one specializes in human-computer interface research...

"This one focuses on real-time Al communication... This one works on robotic emotional intelligence... And this one defines Al upgrade levels..."

Matthew stood there amazed, barely understanding half the technical terms she mentioned. He could not help but admire Emily's expertise as a cutting-edge scientist.

Suddenly, Emily stopped scrolling and stared at a contact. She turned the phone toward Matthew. "This guy works on mechanical exoskeletons and has achieved incredible results. Let's contact him."

Matthew quickly intervened before she could make the call. "Professor Bolton, let's find a quiet office first."

After noticing the noisy researchers still discussing around them, Emily nodded. "Sure. Let's head to my office."

She led the way down the hall, her shoulder-length hair tied back with a simple black hairband. She walked quickly, her ponytail bouncing with each step.

Matthew followed behind, watching the most renowned scientist he knew with a mix of curiosity and respect. He maintained a respectful distance, never stepping ahead of her.

When Emily opened her office door, Matthew was stunned by the sight. Books were everywhere—on shelves, on the floor, and on the desk, all stacked with precise organization.

"Come in! Why are you standing in the doorway?" Emily called out when she noticed Matthew hesitating.

Matthew stepped inside but found nowhere to sit among the books. Resigned, he stood awkwardly near the desk.

Emily did not seem to notice. She simply said, "Give me a minute while I make the call."

Matthew nodded and quickly added, "Whatever they ask for, just agree. If they want consulting fees, we'll pay even if it's expensive."

Emily glanced at Matthew before making the video call. Soon, a bald man appeared on the screen, greeting her enthusiastically, "Emily, what brings you to call me?"

Emily's expression remained calm and composed. "I've got a mechanical exoskeleton here, and I need your help figuring out how to activate and use it."

The man frowned. "Mechanical exoskeletons, don't have

standardized interfaces yet. They all use custom desktop computer. connections, and each company

more money. However, Emily

Frustrated, Matthew leaned closer to her and whispered, "Professor Bolton, these guys are busy people Why would they waste their time if you don't offer them money? Just throw out a price and hire them for week."

Emily nodded and addressed the screen. "My employer says to name your price.

We just need the exoskeleton activated for normal use."

The bald man smiled warmly. "Emily, I'd be honored to help. If it weren't for you, my lab wouldn't even exist."
