Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 182 Situation Report

Mary's face turned red rather quickly once she realized she had made a fool of herself.

She wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

After all, she truly didn't have any romantic feelings toward Shi Tian, but it was true that she was quite comfortable interacting with him. It was as if Shi Tian had an aura around him that made others serene, and didn't need to be guarded against.

As long as one didn't attempt to harm him or scheme against him, Shi Tian would be like a calm and tame wolf, minding his own business.

However, now she might have made Isaac Aaronax misunderstand her, given that she had interrupted him and proclaimed to not be a couple.

"Don't misunderstand me," Mary said solemnly.

Meanwhile, Isaac Aaronax raised an eyebrow and asked confusingly, "What misunderstanding?"

"I know you two don't have any romantic relationship, especially when Shi Tian was such a serious man. I doubt he would be interested in a tomboyish girl who faked to be a gentle and caring woman." He then teased, making his way to the exit door.

And it didn't take long for Isaac Aaronax to run away from the scene.

Though it was just a shame that he didn't fight as much as Mary did. With his skills stagnated, Mary easily caught up to him before unleashing a painful punishment for Isaac Aaronax.

While Isaac Aaronax got to enjoy the consequence of his action, back in the apartment complex, Shi Tian had finally come out of his mini workshop room to the living room.

Vanessa was already sitting on the couch, smiling at him briefly.

"Did it really take you that long to come out for the upcoming discussion?" She asked amusingly.

"I just wanted to be thorough so that there will be no mistakes when it's time to enact." Shi Tian responded emotionlessly, taking a chair by the diner table to sit.

"Sure," Vanessa gave him a suspicious look but didn't pry further. She already got an answer in her mind regardless of what excuse he gave out and was merely teasing him.

Ignoring that smug expression on her face, Shi Tian took out his Cellos device and turned on the hologram screen mode.

The hologram screen mode was highlighting the current map in the wilderness and details of the terrain, which each district and the layers labeled.

Vannesa's face subsequently turned solemn when she saw the hologram screen.

There are times when one can joke and tease, but there are times when one must be serious and focused. And now was the time to be focused, given that it was critical information being revealed.

"Is this the current real-time situation?" Vanessa asked, glancing at the area that was practically filled in red color. The red color was naturally a collective of numerous red dots gathered in one area, creating an illusion that it was just one large red color.

Shi Tian nodded his head. "The data is currently being transmitted and renewed every few minutes by the people surveilling the area, so it can be said to be the most accurate information."

"Hmm, then District C is really about to be fallen. There are 5 safehold in each district, and the monster wave had already taken down 2 of them. And it doesn't seem like there are any signs of stopping."

"Since you know the situation is drastic and not looking good, when can we use your Ancient Technology?"

"I said I will lend it, but not right now." Vanessa shook her head and responded.

"Currently, District C is still quite far from Gearits City, so if we use the Ancient Technology now, it wouldn't be effective." She added.

"Effective?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, seemingly confused by her meaning. "Are you trying to let the situation fester more and create more casualties?"

"You've guessed right, but there are no rewards." Vanessa clasped her hands and smiled. She wasn't really a citizen of Geairts City, so she doesn't have or feel any obligation to assist them.

Not to mention, she was sure that some of the people within Gearits City were the ones that revealed her whereabouts to the enemies. Thus, it would be hilarious to say that she wasn't feeling any resentment. contemporary romance

"If someone within Gearits City did not sell my information, then I wouldn't have been ambushed and nearly died from it." Vanessa snorted coldly and crossed her arms.

Although knowing she was being petty right now, Shi Tian also couldn't force her to just lend the Ancient Technology outright. After all, he would have done the same, or worse than her if that kind of situation happened to him.

"Since that's your response, then I shall put this situation on the television." Shi Tian stood up and said, transferring the data to the television that was centered in the living room. The television was an advanced version and gave a broader viewing angle.

Once the data was transferred, he walked to the refrigerator and saw most of the food he had bought for her was eaten.

'Even though she kept saying she doesn't like eating food that is kept in the refrigerator and wants fresh food, she still ate it.' He exclaimed inwardly.

Closing the refrigerator, he turned to her and asked, "I'm going to head out and get some food. What do you want to eat?"

Vanessa pondered for a while before shaking her head.

"I don't want to stay cooped up in the apartment all the time. I'll head out with you as well." She said calmly.

Shi Tian held a deadpan expression and stared at her. "Did you not notice that someone had sent people to attack you, but was stopped by the Crimson Mage? Why would you want to head out now when you're going to be targeted?"

"And that's where you're wrong, Nathan." Vanessa stood up and smiled coldly.

"Since I'm a target of interest, then I shall head outside and let them see where I am exactly. After all, the Crimson Mage must have kept surveillance upon me now, so why not let the enemies seek death themselves?"
