Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 101 Studies

A few days had gone by ever since the incident of swindling her Dimension Ring.

During that time, Vanessa had not come out from the guest room aside from needing to use the bathroom.

Even when she was starving, she still didn't come out to eat. It was crystal clear that Vanessa was beyond disappointed by the conduct of Shi Tian.

Shi Tian also didn't bother to explain his reasoning to her and merely placed the food outside her door.

As for whether she would open the door to take the food or not, he didn't care.

She was an adult and should understand what to do herself.

Luckily enough, Vanessa still ate the food that he brought to her whenever she came out to use the bathroom and saw the food by the doorstep. Thus, that was how their days had gone by, with zero conversation going on between them.

Of course, not having a conversation was even better since Shi Tian had managed to renovate the storage room and turned it into a proper mini-workshop.

His tasks currently were filled to the brim. He was not only studying and attempting to craft a Blv-21 (flash bomb) but was also nurturing the mutated dust mites.

Since these mutated dust mites feed on dead skin cells, Shi Tian would offer his dead skin to let them eat. At the same time, he would occasionally attempt to train them to listen to him.

There weren't any possible results on the first day, but gradually, the mutated dust mites seemed to understand his command.

Even though it was still flawed, it was better than nothing.

"Mutated dust mites, please grow up and get some intelligence soon." Shi Tian mumbled, touching the outer glass bottle as if he was playing with an actual pet.

Alas, haste makes waste, so Shi Tian never planned on rushing these mutated dust mites to be of any use currently.

Storing the glass bottle back into his Dimension Ring, Shi Tian began to work on his next motive. And that was to study the properties of the Dimension Ring and its structure.

Such a fascinating and mysterious space concept was worth studying whenever he could get a chance to do so.

The Dimension Ring functioned in 4-dimensional space, different from their current world space and the fact that it was also spacious enough to contain numerous items was fascinating enough.

Now that he was the owner of such a ring, he was able to link his mind with it and inspect the space contained in the ring.

And it was during this time that Shi Tian came to realize why Vanessa said the food would spoil if she attempted to store fresh food inside it.

The Dimension Ring only contained one space for all of the items that he would store inside, meaning there wasn't any separate space or room to store items into different sections or categories.

It was because of this founding that irked the curiosity of Shi Tian.

On one hand, he wanted to try and see if he could create a separate space within the space itself already, but on the other hand, he might have to face the risk of destroying the Dimension Ring altogether.

Thus, it was a risky gamble that could leave him with an all-or-nothing bet.

And if he had to be honest, Shi Tian didn't dare to currently bet everything with the limited amount of resources he had. Not to mention, the Dimension Ring could be considered a trump card, able to store numerous inanimate things.

This essentially meant that he could produce a lot of elements of surprise to ambush or attack his opponent without them realizing where and how he got these items appearing.

'Sigh, let's forget about this and just focus on the structure of the Dimension Ring.' Shi Tian shook his head to stop the fantasy thought for now. It was best to focus on something practical rather than theoretical.

The events of him needing to fight an enemy with such a tactic hadn't appeared yet, so there wasn't a point to think about it.

A fight is considered a fight because no one could predict what would happen in a fight. There are too many variables that could alter the outcome of the fight.

A few hours later, Shi Tian deactivated the link to stop studying the Dimension Ring.

After all, it was a concept regarding space, so the difficulty to understand its properties and structure is high. Rushing would only cause him to face a wall, unable to comprehend anything.

Putting the Dimension Ring back on his left middle finger, Shi Tian glanced back at the mechanical parts and smiled briefly.

Although he hadn't succeeded in crafting a Blv-21, he managed to increase the progress from a small percentage to a very high percentage.

It had only been 3 attempts, but the probability of success had risen by a large margin, something that Shi Tian was pleased about. Without any distraction or a bratty miss constantly trying to argue with him, he could actually get a lot of things done.

"Phew, my body is all sweaty now after being cooped up in this tiny storage room." Shi Tian muttered, feeling his body was getting sticky.

Feeling quite discomfort, Shi Tian walked out of the storage room and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower, only to see Vanessa coming out from there.

As their eyes met coincidentally, Vanessa's facial expression darkened but didn't bother to say anything. Instead, she pretended to not even see Shi Tian, treating him as thin air and walking around him to walk back to her room.

Shi Tian also didn't bother to strike up a conversation with her and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Once the bathroom door closed, the guest room door opened slightly and Vanessa peeked her little head out slightly, only to be utterly speechless.

'That damn bastard is really heartless.' She clicked her tongue in discontent, unable to comprehend his coldness.
