Reboot: Mechanic

Jonas Hill seemed to have made himself comfortable, walking around and glancing at the work that Isaac Aaronax had done.

"Mechanist Isaac is truly a busy man." Jonas Hill jokingly said.

"Not even those of the Harrett Family were able to entice you to join them. And the fact that these mechanics work seemed to be more impressive than those created by the Harrett Family." He added, admiring some of the items on the shelves.

Although everything seemed carefree from his tone of speech, Isaac Aaronax wasn't foolish to believe such a person came all the way over here to praise him.

Who knows what type of person Jonas Hill was?

A person who could single-handedly prevent their family from falling into ruin despite losing their heir was not someone to be taken lightly.

"You overpraise me too much, Mr. Hill," Isaac Aaronax humbly responded.

He was not taking any credit nor the praise for being better than the Harrett Family's mechanics, even though that was the hardcore truth and fact.

Knowing it and boasting about it were two different factors.

Knowing he was better than them was enough, and boasting would only cause more unnecessary trouble for him. And as a mechanist, that was not needed in his life.

"Oh, how humble of you, Mechanist Isaac." Jonas Hill chuckled softly.

"But it's precisely this humbleness of yours that the Hill Family wished to be able to recruit you."

So that was the goal huh.

Isaac Aaronax seemed to have gotten a gist of Jonas Hill's motive now.

It appeared that his motive was no different than the rest, except he was showing up here personally as compared to the other.

The others only ordered their subordinates to come here, given that it was beneath them to come to this particular area known for the lower and middle class.

'What a waste of time,' Isaac Aaronax thought to himself.

It was just another person wanting to poach or recruit him, and he would rather focus on his mechanic work than deal with these people.

However, Isaac Aaronax was stunned when Jonas Hill suddenly placed down a glowing object.

"I'm sure you know about what these are, right?" Jonas Hill smiled brightly.

Isaac Aaronax's attention was immediately drawn to the glowing object Jonas Hill had placed on the table. The soft hum emitted by the device hinted at its advanced nature, and Isaac's curiosity got the better of him.

Going to his computer, Isaac made a quick analysis of the glowing object, and sure enough, the output of the data shocked him thoroughly.

"The glowing object is an energy core…" Isaac muttered, seemingly in disbelief. The energy core was different from the condensed Source Crystal.

Most of the technological stuff in the current era required Source Crystal to power them up.

Without Source Crystal, a technology would essentially be just an empty shell, unable to be utilized.

"How did you produce the energy core?" Isaac asked, clearly curious as to how Jonas Hill was able to have such a mystical item.

Throughout the years, people, or mechanics to be precise, had tried to replicate the power of the Source Crystal, only to end up in failure.

The Source Crystal came from a monster's part, and these monsters were all abnormalities that didn't belong to Earth. Therefore, no matter how hard they tried, it was just impossible for them to recreate such an energy core.

The data output had shown that the energy core that Jonas Hill revealed could possibly be more powerful than the Source Crystal too.

And as a mechanic, how could he not be fascinated by such a groundbreaking achievement?

"Haha, those eyes are yours are making me quite joyous," Jonas Hill suddenly laughed heartily when he could sense Isaac's emotions wavering.

"You don't have to answer me now, Mechanist Isaac. I respect you so I'll let you make the decision once you get a try with this gift of mine." He then said and promptly left the workshop.

Jonas Hill's footstep was nimble and fast.

By the time Isaac had regained his composure, Jonas Hill was already long gone, with only the energy core left on the table.

The energy core now was like an enticing dish that wanted him to devour right away, but Isaac managed to suppress his desire.

There were never free lunches in this world, so to be extra careful, Isaac began utilizing his tools to give a thorough analysis of the energy core.

Earlier, it was merely a brief analysis, but now he was going to scrutinize the energy core, making sure that there were no problems with it.

Time passed by rather quickly, and Isaac was breathing heavily as he confirmed the energy core was functional and real.

"Just how did he manage to produce this?" Isaac muttered softly.

He had attempted to see if the energy core could be replicated, but it seemed like Jonas Hill was confident that he would never be able to figure it out.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the energy core here and left so quickly.

With the energy core just sitting at the table, Isaac swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously. He was positive that the moment he accepted this "gift", then the situation in Gearits City would soon undergo another large change.

Even if he still refused to be recruited, it would be hard to make a clear cut with the Hill Family once he used the energy core in the future.

As Isaac was stuck in a heavy dilemma, back in the frontline, Shi Tian finally received the materials from Phoebe.

"Sir Nathan, all the materials you listed have been delivered." One of Phoebe's soldiers reported.

"If you confirm everything is good, then please sign here as proof." The soldier then extended the tablet for his signature.

Shi Tian nodded his head and signed his signature "Nathan" once he made a quick inspection that everything was indeed delivered as promised.

"Rest assured and tell your commander to wait 3 days for the item to be finished."

"Very well, our commander would be pleased to hear that."
