Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 41: Tinge Of Sorrowness

Shi Tian was revitalized and felt a burst of power emitting from the mechanical right arm. He was feeling as if he could lift a gigantic boulder up from the ground with extreme ease.

The feeling was so newfound that he couldn't imagine what kind of power was stored within the mechanical gear part.

"Heh, are you eager to test the function of this new arm of yours?" Isaac Aaronax cheekily smiled from the side.

"This new mechanical right arm could be considered one of my best crafts in a long time, and its power boost for the user is immaculate. In fact, I dare to say that this mechanical right arm is even better than the flesh right arm itself." He added.

Shi Tian nodded his head. After having this new mechanical right arm attached to him, he could feel the immense power that is temporarily dormant, seemingly waiting for his signal to be released.

"Mechanist Isaac Aaronax, I'm indebted to you for your amplification. I can not imagine just how much this would cost if it was commissioned through the proper channel." He stood up from his seat, cupped his fist together, and gave his thanks.

The value of this mechanical right arm at first glance alone was already unbelievable. And if he was to test the actual prowess that it could produce, then Shi Tian feared that even if he had thousands of Eons, it would still not be enough to purchase it.

"This isn't much to have you be indebted to me, Nathan. I'm getting old and I don't wish for the materials to simply rot in my storage without ever being able to see the daylight." Isaac Aaronax, however, shook his head in response, refusing to accept any gratitude from Shi Tian.

The matter of amplification was decided by him solely and his willfulness. It was never his intention to obtain any sort of benefit or gratitude from the opposite party.

"Even so, it's still a gratitude that I owe regardless." Shi Tian insisted, clearly unwilling to let this matter go.

"Hmm, I bet you just wanted to gain some more benefits from me by saying such things, right?" Isaac Aaronax crossed his arms and said, seemingly perceiving the hidden thoughts of Shi Tian.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian scratched his head slightly and smiled somewhat cheekily. It was clear that he didn't have the intention of hiding nor was he embarrassed by the fact of being exposed either.

"You've caught me red-handed, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax." He then said calmly, admitting to the matter without an ounce of shame.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect there was this side of you. Truly an indifferent youngster!" Isaac Aaronax laughed heartily, feeling somewhat relaxed despite the shamelessness of Shi Tian.

After all, he had met many youngsters similar to Shi Tian who acted hypocritical in front of him. He was honestly sick of such people that always have something they want but feigned innocence.

Shi Tian's shamelessness and honesty were something he much preferred. At the very least, he didn't need to ponder much over the wordings he spoke or what his inner thought process was.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders in response. Isaac Aaronax had been a great help to him, especially with the new mechanical right arm, so naturally, he lowered some of his guard and vigilance down.

"Since that's the case, do you want to come to one of our training facility rooms to experience that new mechanical right arm of yours?" Isaac Aaronax then suggested.

Shi Tian raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"But what about your other customers that commission for your work?" He asked, clearly unwilling to take up any more of his precious time.

"Do you think I would probably get any more customers when a representative of Heaven's Mecha is outside the receptionist area?"

"Why wouldn't you get any more customers?"

Shi Tian was confused by Isaac Aaronax's statement since he was clearly a customer as well and had arrived here to receive his product. People came here to commission work and had to pay a fixed amount of price first before being guaranteed any services.

Hence, why wouldn't the customers that placed an order previously come?

Seeing the confused expression of Shi Tian, Isaac Aaaronax seemingly was able to confirm his suspicion.

"As expected… you aren't a native of Gearits City, but a foreigner." Isaac Aaronax muttered, staring at him with a solemn expression.

Shi Tian didn't make any response or action, choosing to remain silent.

A few seconds later, Isaac Aaroanx returned to his normal complexion as he asked a question that took him by surprise.

"Have you encountered Yolanda somewhere in the wilderness?"

Instantly, Shi Tian was alarmed, but he didn't reveal anything on the surface. Though inwardly, he was already wondering how he came to know the name of Yolanda.

"Yolanda was a customer of mine and quite a haughty one that always took advantage of me. The gears that she had on her are specialty made by me, meaning that I can sense the gears even if one stored them properly." Isaac Aaronax subtly explained, allowing Shi Tian to realize how he was exposed.

With a heavy heart and solemn expression, Shi Tian calmly retrieved one of the grenades that he had stored and revealed it to Isaac Aaronax.

It was clear that he had been exposed ever since their first meeting, so there was practically no point in hiding it anymore. The only problem now was that Shi Tian was unsure what Isaac Aaronax would do with such information.

"Sure enough… if you have this special grenade and your previous mention of the monster, Tenceloras. I supposed she had met her end already." Isaac Aaronax sighed regretfully, seemingly a bit disappointed and sorrowful.

And when he saw Shi Tian didn't deny anything, Isaac Aaronax smiled bitterly.

"I've always told that little lass to be cautious of her surroundings and people around her but she never listened."

A moment of silence occurred within the room, and a tinge of sorrowness filled the air.
