Reboot: Mechanic

As everyone got busy with their own agendas in the wilderness, in the dimly lit cave, a person gradually awakened from his slumber.

"Sleeping with wounds really sucks." Shi Tian rubbed his eyes softly and complained.

Some of his bandaged wounds were starting to bleed again, thanks to his unconscious sleeping gesture accidentally bumping into the cave wall, agitating the wounds. 

Nevertheless, Shi Tian merely complained once and stopped, unlike most people that would press on the matter and continue to act like a bitch. 

In exchange for a great battle, with him coming on top despite the disadvantages, a few mere wounds were already a bargain that Shi Tian had gained. 

His life could have been lost if he were beyond unlucky. 

"Time to re-bandage the wounds," Shi Tian sighed softly, retrieving the medical kit and being forced to detach his mechanical right arm again to assist him. 

Maybe it was because he was too used to the mechanical right arm that it became very awkward and unusual for him to have it detached. 

Removing the bandages, Shi Tian saw numerous blood stains that had dried up on them, showing just how severe his injuries were. 

Smiling bitterly, he shook his head calmly. Ever since the battle with the Armored Rats, this was probably his second time being so heavily injured. 

Not even Kralos Tal had dealt damage to him despite his unbelievable strength. 

Just when Shi Tian was still brooding over the previous battle and how many mistakes he had made, the status screen suddenly appeared, astonishing him. 

"What the?" Shi Tian was confused, given that it wasn't scrolled all the way to the description list. 

Previously, when he was communicating with the integrated chip, the status screen would always be scrolled all the way down in the description in which the integrated chip used it as communication.

However, this time, the status screen merely appeared with his name, something that should have happened if he wished for the status screen to appear.

Though his confusion was soon answered as his eyes glanced upon his level, 30. 

"Level 30? How did that happen?" Shi Tian was dumbfounded. He had checked his level and remained at level 29 before going to bed. 

So how did he suddenly level up? 

And while he was confused, the status screen suddenly went all the way down to the description list.

Description: It's been confirmed that one of the soldiers that the host had shot was originally in critical condition. However, that soldier had succumbed to his injuries a few hours ago. Hence, the host received experience points for that kill. 

Although Shi Tian was somewhat joyous that he had finally leveled up to 30, he was more intrigued as to how the integrated chip was able to learn this information.

Like how did the integrated chip know the critical condition soldier had died? 

There were so many doubts and questions in his mind, but he also knew the integrated chip would not reveal anything to him.

Shi Tian was aware that the integrated chip was highly secretive and selective in the information it shared with him. 

It was as if the integrated chip believed that certain knowledge would do him more harm than good, implying that he was not yet strong enough to wield such information effectively.

Sighing inwardly, Shi Tian acknowledged his current limitations. Despite his rapid progress, he understood that he was still far from becoming a formidable force.

"I know you're concealing information for my own good, so I won't question you." Shi Tian mumbled.

After mumbling that, Shi Tian began to focus on the changes in his status screen. Quite a lot had changed since the last time, with his attributes' value becoming higher and higher.

Browsing through the status screen, Shi Tian noticed there was quite a bit of information that he had to click to expand the list to see compared to the past.

The first thing he noticed was naturally the option to choose a subclass, but most importantly, a class talent.

Class talent, just based on its title, was enough for Shi Tian to understand that it was something that benefited his mechanic class greatly.

Without hesitation, Shi Tian willed for the Class Talent to be extended so that he could see the options available to him.

When the Class Talent list was expanded, Shi Tian's eyes nearly popped out from the numerous options available for him to choose from.
