Reboot: Mechanic

When Shi Tian was halted by the random man, he was silent and a bit irritated, to say the least.

He was here to receive the product he had commissioned, yet troubles seemed to follow him everywhere.

Just what the hell does he have to do with whatever was going on here?

"This sir is a customer of our Optic Mech and Mechanist Isaac Aaronax has been expecting him. If you truly wish to throw a fit, then please do it outside and not affect our business operation." Macy's tone was slightly cold as she warned the random man not to create a scene.

Their Optic Mech might not be as grand or powerful as Heaven's Mecha, but they were not to be underestimated either. She would not allow a mere worker to disregard her customer and affect their business operation either.

The random man seemingly clicked his tongue in frustration and retracted his hand.

"That was not my intention, and you should know it. I do not plan to hinder the business operation of your Optic Mech." The random man then clarified, seemingly afraid of a misunderstanding being caused because of his action.

He wasn't afraid of the retaliation of a mere receptionist or the Optic Mech, but he was definitely afraid of the higher-ups in Heaven's Mecha. After all, he had been instructed to complete the task amicably and not cause a rift between the two mechanic stores.

"That's what I thought," Macy sneered coldly, and proceeded to flash an amicable smile toward Shi Tian.

"Apologies for this scene, sir, but please be assured that no valuable customers of ours would be subjugated for any mistreatment." She then said, seemingly warning the random man to not attempt any funny thing behind the back.

Shi Tian merely nodded his head and walked around the random man, making his way toward the usual room. To be fair, he wasn't worried a bit in the slightest since he knew that there are always some figures overwatching the receptionist area, preventing any troubles from occurring.

As long as the random man posed any threatening demeanor toward Macy, then Shi Tian was sure that these shadow figures would appear from out of nowhere to apprehend the culprit.

Sometime later, Shi Tian arrived at room 521, with the automatic door opening up for him to enter.

"The commotion outside must have been hectic for you right, Nathan?" The moment Shi Tian entered the room, he heard Mechanist Isaac Aaronax talking about the matter outside.

"With your skills and behavior, it's not surprising to see poachers from other mechanic stores approach you." Shi Tian responded in a joking manner.

"Indeed, being skillful could be considered a sin in this chaotic world."

"It may be considered a sin, but to me, it's considered a blessing."

"Oh? Care to explain your reasons?" Isaac Aaronax raised an eyebrow, seemingly intrigued by Shi Tian's words.

Shi Tian pondered for a moment and decided to explain it a bit.

After all, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax's conduct so far had been to his liking and if he ever needed some repairs or other equipment, Isaac Aaronax would be the person he would look for. Hence, it doesn't harm a bit to build up a friendly relationship with this conversation.

"Just as you have stated before, this is a chaotic world. And if a person doesn't have any skill in such a world, then the chances of them living are close to zero. In fact, such people tend to disappear in this world without a trace behind them." Shi Tian explained, taking a seat by the chair next to the machinery.

"I see… that's quite the interpretation that I have heard." Isaac Aaronax chuckled, not bothering to put in his input on Shi Tian's claim. Instead, he walked toward a counter and revealed the mechanical right arm that he had crafted.

The moment Shi Tian caught a glimpse of the mechanical right arm, he was fascinated by its meticulous design.

The mechanical right arm was made of gleaming silver metal, with intricate details etched into the surface that caught the light in a captivating manner. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐧𝐞𝘁

The arm was larger and more muscular than a typical human arm, with a thick bicep and defined triceps that spoke of its immense strength. As for the elbow joint, it was sleek and curved, allowing for a wide range of motion, while the wrist was angular and precise, capable of delicate movements.

In addition, the fingers were articulated, each one able to move independently with precision and speed, and ended in sharp, metallic claws that could be retracted and extended to easily grip and manipulate objects with ease. The palm of the hand was flat and smooth, with a glowing blue sensor array in the center that gave the arm an otherworldly quality.

With such attention to the details in the craftsmanship of the mechanical right arm, Shi Tian was once again reminded of Isaac Aaronax's skill. This particular mechanical right arm alone was a testament to the skill and ingenuity of Isaac Aaronax and a fearsome tool in the hands of its wielder.

Isaac Aaronax held a prideful expression when he saw how speechless Shi Tian became.

Placing his hands on his hips, Isaac Aaroanx proudly explained, "Heh, this is considered one of my greatest crafts. Seeing how you were amicable and polite, I decided to amplify it a bit."

"Amplify?"

"Do you see that glowing blue sensor array in the center? It's powered by a monster core and could create a spatial shield, enough to withstand a barrage of bullets."

Shi Tian was alarmed when Isaac Aaaronax added such an amplification.

"Mechanist Isaac Aaronax, I'm afraid that such amplification would go beyond my budget." Shi Tian explained, informing him that his money was currently tight and could not afford such amplification.

"Who told you that there would be an additional price charge?" Isaac Aaronax laughed heartily and placed the mechanical right arm on the machinery device.

"I'm a mechanic and whenever I like the attitude of a customer, then I would do modification or amplification on my own. Of course, that is all free of charge and if the customer hated it, then I would simply revert it back to the original design."
