Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 353 Camouflage Tool

Chapter 353 Camouflage Tool

?Shi Tian was initially surprised by Mary when she revealed a camouflage tool that could literally conceal the drone's presence and any detection equipment.

It was practically a cheat code, but when he thought about it further, the camouflage tool that Mary revealed should have similar properties to the boosters' suit.

After all, his boosters' suit was equipped all along, but none seemed to have detected it given its invisible function mode.

In fact, even he would occasionally forget about the boosters' suit being equipped, having gotten used to its weight on his legs and everything else.

'Maybe I should disassemble the technology and see how it's done?' Shi Tian pondered silently. As much as he didn't wish to break such an important piece of equipment, the curiosity was kind of itching him.

Who doesn't want to learn more technology that could be implemented in his mechanic skills once he has enough resources to go crazy?

While thinking that, Shi Tian nearly wanted to slap himself in the face when there was a risk-free option that he could have gone to.

'Hello, my dear and lovely IC. Do you mind analyzing the properties of the boosters' suit equipped on me, and more specifically, the invisible function?' Shi Tian used his mind and asked in a very cringe tone about the integrated chip.

Of course, he had stated previously to not rely on the integrated chip too heavily, but that was just a statement, okay.

He would be foolish to not utilize the resources and help he could get to make his life easier.

Was he playing some game in hell mode?

Absolutely not!

And if there was ever an easy mode or a beginner mode, then Shi Tian would gladly take it. So long as he learned the properties himself once the integrated chip simplified things for him, then all was well.

He was merely taking a shortcut than going through the long and tedious path to get to the same endpoint.

Waiting for a few seconds, Shi Tian noticed the status screen popping up and scrolled straight down to the description section. It was clear that the integrated chip was replying to him.

Description: How about no, Host? The host had proclaimed earlier to not wish to rely on the integrated chip, so what's with the sudden change of heart?

Shi Tian held a deadpan expression when he read the response.

As expected, the integrated chip having an empathetic feature was a mistake.

Whoever created the integrated chip must have been a lonely person without anyone to talk to! Otherwise, why would they ever want to create an integrated chip like this that would refuse the host's request?

'The advanced technological era is truly the end of humanity. Look at this artificial intelligence integrated chip treating me.'

Shi Tian purposely shouted that in his mind. As for the reason, it was obviously to let the integrated chip understand his emotion and frustration, given that it could read what he said in mind.

Description: So the host wished to renege his vows from earlier and play the shameless card?

As Shi Tian read the message, a video was subsequently displayed by the side of the status screen, and the video was none other than his internal monologue of not wanting to rely on the integrated chip too much.

Twitching his mouth, Shi Tian was utterly speechless that the integrated chip would have that scene recorded.

He was even about to play the shameless card and ask what vow, but with that video playing, that option was nullified.

'Fine, so be it. Stay dormant then, why even bother communicating or linking with me if you are that discontent with assisting me?' Shi Tian pouted inwardly, clearly copying Vanessa's behavior.

Since Vanessa always tried to play this card, then why couldn't he do the same once in a blue moon?

The integrated chip could connect with his mind, so it could easily tell he was ranting as an act.

After all, if the integrated chip remained adamant and refused to assist him, then Shi Tian could only take the long path and do whatever it must take to understand the camouflage tool.

Luckily for him though, the integrated chip didn't seem to be so heartless.

Description: The host can stop the act. Vanessa's type of behavior is disgusting, so the Host is kindly advised to never behave the same. Analyzation had already begun, and it would take approximately 5 hours to decipher the technology being utilized.

'5 hours only?' Shi Tian was astonished to see how little time was needed to decipher the technology.

He was prepared to wait for a lot of months to even get some results.

Description: The host underestimated the integrated chip's ability too much. The time would have been shorter if the Host had been more adamant about crafting and actually doing Mechanic-related stuff. However, the Host decided to spend all his time on trivial and scheming stuff, hindering the Host's achievement.

As hurtful as it sounded, Shi Tian also understood that the integrated chip was speaking facts and it had never once sugarcoated its words.

However, it should have at least been a bit lenient to him.

Was he really that foolish to want to hinder his own achievement, especially in the mechanic path?

No, it was because he didn't have the resources to even craft anything. He was penniless from the very start when he awakened from the deep slumber in the graveyard field.

Everyone might think he was a fake mechanic and that he was wasting his time, but aren't all his actions currently to obtain more resources so that he could actually begin the mechanic path?

There are no miracles in this world, and his luck was as good as a pea.

'You've said it like I want to scheme and idle my time in other stuff, IC. If you want me to improve, then why don't you hand me some resources. That way, I can focus my full attention on mechanical stuff.' Shi Tian asked about the integrated chip for resources.

Alas, the response from it didn't surprise him much.

Description: Resources are obtained through the Host's effort. If the Host can't even get resources himself, then are you even qualified to be called a Host, and not a freeloader?
