Who Changed the Design

For the whole night, VR box continued to glow silently, just before dawn broke a tiny figure came out of it VR box compared to night, shin of its body was much dimmer and it almost like it was exhausted from all the work it had done. After getting out it directly went to the necklace and everything returned to normal.

When Sam woke up he followed his daily routine, without noticing any change in the room. he greeted uncle Bernard going down to the garden to train, even after deciding to entre into mech designing and bring forward the breakthrough in mechs at least 20 years earlier so humans could fight against zergs, but he also knew he needed to fight weather it is zergs or human scums like pirates who tried to rob human military fleets which were concerned and attacked by zergs.

After he completed his daily workout, he asked Bernard "uncle Bernard, do you know about any special event recently here."

Bernard was again surprised by his question about special event, but he still answered "if you are asking about mech related event then a mech exhibition is starting the day after tomorrow for next three days, but you will need passes for that event"

Sam then recalled that "Wind Rider" mech will also be reviled as a prime product in that exhibition.

He then asked Bernard "uncle Bernard do we have passes for that mech exhibition"

But Bernard looked at him strangely and answered "aren't you going there with your friends young master"

Only then he remembered about his high school friends, while most of them were friends for sucking money from him, as his father has set the amount of allowance he will receive in his account before he went missing, the way he lived his life it was nothing, but it has still good 3000 credits per month. But only two of them who were with him from childhood and were only true and good friends.

Only after thinking about then now, he remembered agreement between them, in his last life he didn't have much impression of them, because of his rollercoaster life after he entered University and his stubbornness about not connecting to his high school friends. Now he thought about it deeply he remembered his last life trip of this mech exhibition he seemed to have fought to both of them on some arguments when his some so-called "friends" told him that how both of them criticizing him behind his back that he wasted his father money and he was an idiot and how he was insulting his father wishes. When he heard those things he flew into a rage and started an argument with both of them and ended his friendships, later he also lost contact with them and never meet them in his whole life.

He came out of the daze and thanked Bernard and went into his room to develop his mech design.

When he entered into the VR box and opened the mech interface at first everything looked normal but when he started to look at his basic mech design he noticed that something in the design has been changed, he then started to check the whole virtual design and finally looked at the mech stats, he was startled whole mech performance was way better than he has left last night there were many changes from his design while all the changes increase performance but having your personal data changed with no reason, no one will feel happy about it, he went to check his VR box log he found no abnormality only it has consumed more power when he thought about hacking he felt even more absurd as even in future no was able to remotely hack personal virtual space, even if someone has the capability of hacking why would he hack into a nobody virtual space and make upgrade a mech design which doesn't worth a single credit.

He quickly came out of the VR box and directly called Bernard within seconds Bernard arrived into Sam's room, he then asked "is there anything you need young master"

Sam then asked "uncle Bernard was there anyone who came into my room yesterday night" in a serious tone.

Bernard after seeing his serious face and his voice said "no one came to your room yesterday young master, does anything happen"

Sam thought about a while for all possible then thought Bernard has no reason to lie to him then it was definite that no one came to his room, but after seeing Bernard standing there without moving he hurriedly said "you can go, uncle Bernard, it seems I was only being paranoid.

Bernard then went out with confused look while Sam sat there thinking what could have gained access to his virtual space, after eliminating all the possibility one thing remained was at least middle-grade AI could do it in his memory of future but they still in research faze even the would still leave the log in VR box, the question still came to the same place, but why would anyone use midgrade AI to hack him a nobody in the vast human union.

After realizing he couldn't make any head or tails of the situation he decided to be more cautious about future workings and went to see changes in the mech, many of which were very new to him.

When he entered and viewed the mech in virtual space he admired changed done in it while it was still a basic 1st gen mech it was much more different from the design he left last night. The design he made could only work in the virtual world, by work means he meant to walk around at snail pace if anyone were to make that design no one could guaranty it would even take a single step. But now the same mech with some changes was in front of him, as from mech pilot experience he could definitely say he would be able to fight with other mechs of the same generation without busting this mech, hell it even has thrusters applied behind its knee joint to make a short and occasional flight. It was definitely a masterpiece for 1st gen mech.
