Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 329 Supercharged

Shi Tian was slightly taken aback by Mary's request to detach his mechanical right arm at first and the subsequent modifications she made to it.

The arm, which she returned to him, felt slightly heavier. It now had a small compartment and what appeared to be a modified emitter.

Truth be told, Shi Tian didn't know what that modified emitter was until Mary told him to charge the Light Beam.

Everything started to make sense to him, but it also made him question something.

"Wait a minute, so all along, the mechanical right arm wasn't even in its final form?" Shi Tian asked in shock.

"I had charged a Light Beam before in the past, and its power was strong, but definitely not enough to be louder than the current sound in the battlefield. So how strong is this emitter?" He enquired, seemingly curious about it.

Naturally, he would be curious about the modification, considering that he was walking in the path of a mechanic.

If he also learned and comprehended such modifications, then wouldn't he be able to craft even more superior technology in the future?

Meanwhile, Mary seemed to hold a complicated expression, almost as if she did not want to reveal or divulge the topic.

"Let's just work one thing at a time, okay?" She said after a few seconds. It was clear that she didn't wish for Shi Tian to know what kind of modification she had done.

Although it was kind of a shame, Shi Tian didn't pressure her further.

He knew that if the modification could amplify his Light Beam to a new height, then it meant that the tech was quite high-level.

Or it could even be confidential information, so it only made sense that he was not allowed to learn it.

But understanding and accepting it were two different matters.

As much as he tried to hide his emotion on the surface, it didn't seem like the passive ability was kicking in, given that it wasn't a serious emotion that was going to affect him.

Mary could also sense the bitterness and regretfulness of Shi Tian, but there wasn't much she could do.

'It's better that you take things slowly and not skip any important steps, lest it might be detrimental for you in the future.' Mary exclaimed inwardly.

As for Vanessa, she didn't pay much attention to the modification. It was as if the technology wasn't that impressive in her eyes, or the fact that she had seen way better ones.

However, it was quite understandable considering Vanessa's status. It might not have been stated, but a clever person who would be able to discern her status should be similar to the influence of the Five Families in Gearits City.

Otherwise, how was it possible that she was able to offer up many rare materials in exchange for the drone production from Mary.

The contract had been signed, and Vanessa might have seemed naive at times, but she wasn't foolish enough to try to renege the contract. Thus, the contract alone was enough validation of her wealth, so modifications like these should be as common as monsters roaming in the wilderness.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was slowly inspecting the modification, seemingly trying to comprehend how he was going to activate the Light Beam.

"Is the procedure the same?" Shi Tian asked Mary.

"If so, then what's the power output and how much stronger has it been?" He continued, clearly wanting to get a somewhat clear idea of what kind of prowess he was going to emit.

"The modified emitter is only a one-time use, so don't think too much aside from supercharging the Light Beam. I'm sure you have tested the feature before, so it's the same except you would be activating the emitter during the process." Mary rubbed her chin and explained.

The explanation might seem vague at first, but essentially, the procedure was the same.

The only difference was that the power of the Light Beam would be amplified many times stronger than the times he had tested in the past.

It was no wonder Mary asked whether or not his strength had improved.

After all, the load of producing such a powerful Light Beam would definitely put a heavy strain on his body if he was inadequate.

"Okay, if you have no more questions, then get out already." Mary pointed to the back and told him to leave. Time was ticking down and while she was explaining it to him, the battle was still erupting.

If they kept stalling, then by the time they garnered their attention, it would be too late.

Smiling bitterly, Shi Tian quickly grabbed the mask from a compartment, put it on, and rushed to the exit of the Iron Sentinel.

Along the way, he noticed the injured soldier who was now covered in bandages, and blood seemed to be dried up in his clothes.

The injured soldier wasn't moving at all, prompting Shi Tian to wonder what Vanessa had done to him to make him look so… lifeless?

'I should probably check the recording later about what happened.' Shi Tian thought to himself, exiting the Iron Sentinel.

As soon as he was out on the battlefield, the sound became louder, showing how much the Iron Sentinel was able to block off the soundwave.

"Geez, it's like they are throwing money into the ocean." Shi Tian murmured, feeling heartache for how wasteful these two commanders were being.

And without further ado, Shi Tian jumped on top of the Iron Sentinel and began churning his mechanical right arm.

The procedure was exactly the same, but once the modified emitter was activated, Shi Tian felt his right arm was becoming heavier by the second.

He nearly stumbled from the sudden heavy weight, but luckily, he was used to it in the past due to the Metallic Stone feature.

"Sure enough, Mary wasn't joking at all when you need to have a lot of strength to withstand it." Laughing bitterly, Shi Tian's mechanical right arm began glowing a dense blue light, as he patiently waited for the perfect moment.
