?"F-Fix the weaponry?" Theobold twitched his mouth, seemingly in a daze by Shi Tian's suggestion of his plight. The battle was happening right now, so just how long would he need to get it fixed?

Was he trying to fool him?

Or was he planning to have them all fixed once his soldiers had already fallen in the battle?

Nevertheless, Theobold managed to compose his emotion, subsiding the anger from within him.

"How long are you going to need to fix them, Nathan?" Theobold asked, his tone very mild– to the point that it was quite terrifying.

As for Vanessa, she was somewhat worried for Shi Tian. He was clearly testing Theobold's bottom line repeatedly.

"Mary, shouldn't you do something?" Vanessa whispered to Mary and asked her to defuse the situation. Her identity was special, so she couldn't afford to step in at the moment.

Meanwhile, Mary was still lost in thought, her eyes fixated on her Cellos device. It seemed as if she was trying to investigate something and all other noises were blocked off from her.

Seeing Mary's state, Vanessa realized it was dumb of her to ask her to intervene.

'Whatever, if Theobold is truly enraged and acts irrationally, then I'll just step in.' Vanessa exclaimed inwardly.

She truly wanted to intervene, but Shi Tian told her to trust him, so she could only wait by the sideline and see what kind of plan he was cooking up.

Let him cook!

"It won't take long, Commander Theobold." Shi Tian chuckled softly and responded. There was zero hint of fear in his tone.

"What do you mean by that?" Theobold continued to question, clearly wanting an estimated time and not some superficial words.

"10 minutes, that's all I need."

"10 minutes only?"

"If you don't trust me, then just make a countdown, Commander Theobold." Shi Tian laughed and proceeded to walk toward the supporting team.

Astonished, Theobold was unable to comprehend Shi Tian's actions.

If Shi Tian were to say he needed around 30 minutes, then he could only accept it despite being suspicious.

But 10 minutes?

What could he accomplish with just 10 minutes?

Not to mention, 10 minutes goes by pretty fast, and by that time, if Shi Tian failed to make any changes, then things wouldn't be good for him.

'Let's see if he's making a fool out of me or he's really hiding some skills.' Theobold thought to himself, deciding to wait 10 minutes for Shi Tian to do whatever he wanted.

As for Vanessa, she decided not to worry and believed in him.

"Commander Theobold should relax a bit and take a break. Since Nathan himself said 10 minutes, then 10 minutes would be all he needed." She stepped in and reassured Theobold.

Having interacted with Shi Tian for quite a while already, Vanessa believed he was never the type to proclaim something unless he was confident.

Thus, she doubled down and was willing to vouch for Shi Tian's plan.

Since Vanessa was willing to vouch as well, Theobold could merely nod his head and wait patiently.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian didn't notice Vanessa was vouching for him as he was secretly communicating with the integrated chip.

The reason why he was confident was the integrated chip actually took on the initiative this time and informed him that he should get his hands on the weaponry.

Of course, Shi Tian was skeptical at first, not knowing what the integrated chip was planning, but then a bunch of information simply overwhelmed all of a sudden.

And miraculously, the information didn't pain him at all and he was able to comprehend all of them in an instant.

It was miraculous because if any students were able to absorb information like that in an instant, then they would never ever fail a course.

Although Shi Tian was somewhat suspicious of the integrated chip's motive, he doubted it was trying to harm him. They both live and die together with their current link.

After all, the Pain Tolerance was granted to him when he was on the verge of dying, and when he was still in a deep slumber, it was the integrated chip that rebooted him back to life.

Arriving at one of the supporting soldiers, Shi Tian merely tapped on his soldier and waved his hand, a signal equivalent of telling him to fuck off.

The soldier was at first confused, before turning into rage for being rudely interrupted by some brat. He was busy assisting his fellow comrades, and Shi Tian was wearing normal clothes instead of a military uniform.

Just who does he think he was?

It was hard to blame the soldier for reacting so strongly since not everyone had seen or interacted with Shi Tian. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂

However, the soldier quickly calmed down when he heard a cough and realized Theobold was by the side.

Theobold made a side-eye gesture once he caught the soldier's attention, and simply tilted his head slightly to order the soldier to make way.

With the soldier promptly moved aside, Shi Tian ignored the soldier and kept his eyes on the weaponry.

"So this is the railgun blaster…" Shi Tian mumbled, having learned of the weaponry name because of the integrated chip. fr(e)enovelkiss

The Railgun Blaster design had a sleek, ergonomic design, typically constructed from lightweight but highly durable alloys and reinforced polymers.

Its appearance was streamlined and sophisticated, featuring a blend of matte and metallic finishes.

The gun's structure contains intricate circuitry and power lines running along its frame, allowing it to harness immense electromagnetic energy.

This high-tech weapon operates by using a series of electromagnetic coils and conducting rails to accelerate solid metal or composite bullets.

When activated, a powerful electrical current is generated and directed through the coils, creating a powerful magnetic field. This magnetic field propels the bullets forward at tremendous velocities.

Admiring its design and operation function, Shi Tian proceeded to check on the ammunition, given that the ammunition was what caused the struggle to happen.

According to the information he had absorbed, the Railgun Blaster uses specialized, aerodynamically designed bullets made of advanced materials like depleted uranium, tungsten, or other dense alloys. These bullets are loaded into a magazine or an internal chamber, ready for firing.

Unsurprisingly, Shi Tian realized the bullets were made of uranium and not tungsten.

'Make sense… uranium is way more common, unlike tungsten.' Shi Tian thought to himself.
