Chapter 38: Heaven’s Mecha
After disconnecting the call with Old Man Chao, Shi Tian had taken this as an opportunity to finally take a breather. He was taking a seat in a somewhat quiet place to relax his mind.
Despite wanting to relax his mind though, Shi Tian would unconsciously activate the hologram interface screen that listed his current stats.
Although he didn't know how he was able to have it activated, he only knew that the interface screen seemed to be linked to his mind. So long as he willed for it to appear, then it would show up.
'My stats point is stagnated now because I'm in a somewhat safe environment. It seems like the interface screen is designed for me to be battle thirsty.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly.
He had attempted to experience a few other methods in hopes that his level would rise up besides having to kill monsters or enemies. However, none of the methods he had attempted seemed to work, and it was just a futile effort in the end
And as much as he wanted to comprehend or research such a mysterious interface screen, it was practically impossible when no one else could see what he saw.
Reading through his interface screen, Shi Tian began to mull over which stats he should now prioritize.

Besides the attribute points that had been upgraded ever so slightly, there were also some changes in the equipment list, reputation point, and the description that used to taunt him.
Most of the equipment he got was courtesy to Yolanda, given that the equipment from Benmos was insignificant, a far cry from the equipment that Yolanda had.
Nevertheless, Shi Tian was a bit relieved when the description of him had finally changed for the better. At the very least, he was no longer the weakling he was, and his health was now labeled slightly injured, seemingly proving that the interface screen indeed showed in real-time.
After all, his mechanical right arm would be provided soon, and at that time, he would no longer be a cripple.
Given that he could survive with a single arm, then there was going to be complete certainty of a power increase once he could have two arms.
'I should probably use the 2 free attribute points to raise my agility stat. The armored rats were considered fast, but those two shadow figures within Optic Mech were on a completely different level.' Shi Tian thought to himself, putting the attribute points on the agility stat, causing it to rise up to 5 points now.
There were too many aspects that he was lacking, so Shi Tian needed to prioritize the stats that he deemed necessary. And after witnessing the inhumane speed of those shadow figures, he came to realize how pathetic he was to believe a pistol could possibly harm them.
Based on the mental image that he created and his calculation, Shi Tian was sure that before he could even pull the trigger, he would have been apprehended.
What was worse was that Shi Tian didn't dare to imagine that even if he could pull the trigger, those shadow figures could easily dodge and avoid the bullet.
Shaking his head, Shi Tian sighed softly as he understood the saying of how there would always be a bigger mountain. It was a good thing he was always acting humble unless the opposing party was being ridiculous and had wicked intentions toward him.
Feeling that his head might be exploding with all this complicated thinking, Shi Tian decided to use the remaining time to explore the outer zone of Gearits City.
Exploring the outer zone was to memorize places and familiarize himself with the city. After all, there was no guarantee of how long he would be staying here, so exploring would only be beneficial to him.
And just like that, Shi Tian spent the remaining time walking around aimlessly, without a clear goal.
It was only until a call he received from Macy that the mechanical right arm had been produced did Shi Tian finally change his route toward Optic Mech.
Of course, his pace in walking had noticeably increased, seemingly excited for the result.
Sometime later, Shi Tian arrived at Optic Mech and went straight to the fifth floor.
"Tell Mechanist Isaac Aaronax to come out already, little receptionist. Our company's young master has taken a huge liking to his talent and is willing to pay him a hefty salary. So stop blocking me and let me meet up with him."
"Apologies, but I was instructed by Mechanist Isaac Aaronax that he didn't wish to meet with the people from Heaven's Mecha."
Upon arriving at the fifth floor, Shi Tian could overhear a conversation between Macy and a random man. The random man's tone of the speech was quite an arrogant one, almost as if he was looking down at Optic Mech as a whole.
Just as Shi Tian walked forward, Macy subsequently ignored the random man and smiled at him.
"Hello, sir, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax has been waiting for you. It's the same room as previously." Macy then said, informing Shi Tian to hurriedly enter inside, seemingly trying to warn him that trouble was here.
She even purposely concealed his name to prevent the random man from knowing Shi Tian's identity.
Without further ado, Shi Tian merely nodded his head and was ready to enter the interior, until the random man extended his arm and snickered coldly.
"Hmph, so you're telling me some bastard could enter to meet with Mechanist Isaac Aaronax, but I, who work for Heaven's Mecha can't? Are you trying to shit on me, little receptionist?"
