Reboot: Mechanic

With the data relayed on the computer screen, Isaac Aaronax was able to confirm that everything went correctly without any hiccups.

And of course, even though he knew there would most likely be no mistakes considering his experience and skills, there was never any harm to double-check the results.

After all, these mechanical parts are going to be used to provide assistance for their customers, who often or not are tasked to explore the wilderness for resources.

Therefore, if they didn't double-check and their mechanical parts suddenly malfunctioned, then reputation was the last thing they needed to worry about. It was a person's life they had caused, and that kind of person was someone responsible for helping to preserve the very safe zone city that they resided in. The government would definitely intervene by then if multiple accidents occurred because of their products' failure.

"Okay, one final check, Nathan. The data represented told me that everything is alright, but I'll need to hear from you that everything is well." Isaac Aaronax asked calmly.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was distracted by the holographic right arm attached to him. Ever since he had awakened from the graveyard field, this was the first time he ever felt some muscle within the right arm, even if it was holographic. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩

He might be able to remain calm due to his passive ability, but truth to be told, there was always regret and pain hidden deep in his heart.

No one would ever wish to be a cripple nor would they choose to be a cripple.

If any fools said otherwise, then that said person should simply seek psychological therapy or go outside and take a deep breath, reminding themselves that being alive is an achievement in itself.

A few minutes had gone by, and Shi Tian finally flashed a brief smile that he hadn't shown in quite a while.

"The arm fits perfectly and I can somehow feel the muscle, almost as if it was my arm already." Shi Tian calmly said, approving the measurement was right.

Isaac Aaronax nodded his head. He was glad that the first attempt was right on the mark and was pleased with the result.

'It seemed like TechX Micro is going to earn big again now that this machinery they invented is greater than the previous model.' Isaac Aaronax thought to himself.

Sometime later, Isaac Aaronax detached the holographic right arm from Shi Tian, causing the latter to feel a somewhat sense of loss again.

Though Shi Tian understood that the holographic right arm would become the model piece for Isaac Aaronax to work on. Thus, he might be a bit reluctant, but it was only going to be temporary.

"So Nathan, have you decided on what type of mechanical right arm you wanted? If not, then you can still take your time to think it over and then come back to me once you have decided." Isaac Aaronax said calmly.

He was extremely patient and meticulous in his work, especially his amicable behavior toward customers. And if he had to be honest, Shi Tian was astonished by the work ethic of Isaac Aaronax that seemed to have been lost in the cycle of time.

None of the people that Shi Tian had encountered so far were close to Issac Aaronax, who held zero prejudice toward his customers and treated them politely.

"I have already decided, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax." Shi Tian stood up from the chair and smiled briefly.

"I'm going to choose the balance type design for the mechanical right arm."

"I see… balance type mechanical right arm it is. You may head out and talk with Receptionist Macy regarding the payment. The estimated time of delivery should be around 3-5 hours."

"Thank you for your help, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax." Shi Tian bowed his head slightly and gave his sincere thanks. To people that respected him and didn't look down on him, Shi Tian would equally do the same and give them the same respect that they deserved.

"Haha, no need to thank me that sincerely. I'm merely doing my job as a mechanic and earning my paycheck. You people who explored the wilderness to gather resources and data are the impressive ones. This old bone of mine could only work in these mechanical parts."

To that statement, Shi Tian didn't respond and merely smiled, walking out of the room and making his way toward the receptionist area. It didn't take long for Shi Tian to walk out given that he had memorized the route already.

By the time he saw Receptionist Macy from afar, she was already chatting with another rough-looking man.

"What do you mean you're charging me 1300 Eons? All I did was tell you to fix the mechanical shield that I provided. How dare you try to overcharge me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" The rough-looking man suddenly scowled in fury, slamming his palm at the counter desk. His forehead was wrinkled slightly from the furious expression he was creating.

Despite the sudden scowling directed at her, Receptionist Macy kept her cool and calm composure.

"Yes, the mechanical shield was provided by you for repair, but in addition to the repair of the broken shield. You have also requested one of our mechanists to modify the shield to be more durable and have additional features." Receptionist Macy said, calmly explaining the reason for the price.

The rough-looking man was clearly agitated, and it seemed to be magnified by a large margin after being clarified by Macy.

"I don't care what you say. The price was supposed to be only 350 Eons. I will not pay the overcharged 1300 Eons." The rough-looking man cursed, being absolutely stubborn about the matter.

And at this point, Shi Tian could somewhat understand what was going on.

The rough-looking man was clearly trying to get his mechanical shield a huge upgrade after it was damaged but didn't realize the charge would be through the roof. Thus, he was attempting to create a scene in front of Macy in hopes to renege on the price charge.

'If only there was popcorn here to enjoy the show.' Shi Tian thought to himself, feeling a bit regretful as he stood by the sideline to watch the scene unfold.
