Reboot: Mechanic

As Shi Tian was fantasizing about his day of being filthy rich, Phoebe brought him back to reality when she ordered one of her soldiers to bring over another makeshift seat for him.

"Have a seat, Nathan." Phoebe calmly said.

"The conversation we're going to have isn't going to be short, so I doubt you would want to stand there all day long."

Glancing at the makeshift seat for a second, Shi Tian smoothly sat down and stared at Phoebe.

As for the surrounding soldiers, who seemed to be orchestrating an intimidating scenery, almost as if they wanted to make him feel tiny or scared.

They unfortunately failed miserably in trying to scare Shi Tian, given he knew Phoebe wasn't a dumb commander like Damon, who would attempt to demote themselves.

"Your soldiers seemed like they wanted to devour me whole." Shi Tian chuckled softly. "Are they perhaps jealous that I get to converse with you in such close proximity?"

"Hah, you sure have a glib tongue, Nathan." Phoebe laughed, putting away her alcoholic drink which a soldier swiftly held on her behalf.

"Alright, jokes aside, I'm sure you must be wondering why Theobold's side was struggling, right?"

Sure enough, once Phoebe started getting to the main point, Shi Tian changed his expression as well.

Phoebe's words might be difficult to comprehend because she was not the straightforward type, compared to Vanessa. She was the type to say something, but her sentence had many meanings hidden behind it.

In other words, she would never interact or converse with retarded people, unless they were somewhat equal to her status.

Not to brag, but Shi Tian was definitely the retarded type that would act irrationally. And he was able to understand that Phoebe was essentially she got her eyes on them.

He had basically just gone to Theobold and assisted him. But before he could even take a breather, one of Phoebe's soldiers arrived and asked to bring him over here, which meant she knew exactly when he was done and was available.

The timing was simply too flawless.

"I suppose the reason for his struggle has something to do with you, right?" He leaned forward and muttered softly.

Now that he had given it a thought, he arrived here quite fast, meaning the distance between the monster wave here and Theobold's side wasn't far at all.

So for Theobold's side to have an astronomical number of Gilaso variants appearing, and added with the fact that Phoebe was extremely relaxed here.

There was only one conclusive thought in his mind— and that was the monster wave supposedly on Phoebe's side was somewhat diverted to Theobold, causing him to technically face two sets of monster waves.

Sure enough, when Phoebe merely grinned sinisterly without answering, Shi Tian was slightly astounded at their superficial alliance.

On the surface, it seemed as if they had formed an alliance, going as far as making Benedict start a brief civil war with her. Yet the situation now was quite clear.Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Phoebe was against Theobold, but the Hill Family she was working for seemed to have a different idea and wished to ally with Theobold.

And speaking of the Hill Family, it reminded him of Jonas Hill– a person with such a negative value of him in the reputation list.

'I might as well check the changes in the reputation list now.' Shi Tian thought to himself, opening the status screen while conversing with Phoebe.

He would be dumb to wait and not simply multi-task.

"So what exactly is your motive to call me over here?" Shi Tian asked, his eyes looking at the reputation list which showed Theobold's value of him was getting more negative.

Make sense, he would be surprised if Theobold was still viewing him in a good light despite his actions earlier. As for Jonas Hill, it remained unchanged.

He wasn't sure if that was supposed to be a good thing or bad thing, considering Jonas Hill was still harboring hatred for him.

"Take a look at this," Phoebe snapped her finger and a soldier brought over a tablet.

The tablet then projected a holographic screen of the terrain.

"The terrain here is the one in front of us, and I'm too lazy to walk there to tell you. But I'm sure you should be fine with these holographic images since mechanics like you are prone to reading blueprints." She added, flicking the holographic screen to go closer to Shi Tian.

At first glance, the terrain doesn't seem to be anything special, but upon closer inspection, Shi Tian was impressed that Phoebe was able to figure out something.

The underground terrain.

As Shi Tian was inspecting the holographic images, Phoebe continued her explanation.

"When I told my soldiers to drench the ground with oil and burn 'em up all to a crisp. I noticed the ground material seemed too soft, so I commanded my soldiers to dig further. And guess what, the underground was like a whole new area itself. My soldiers went down for so many inches, and still hadn't reached the end."

"But it seems like you already know about this, Nathan. Otherwise, you wouldn't have used a sonic boom to disturb the magnetic field placed in the underground." She suddenly said, a cold smile appeared on her face.

It was at this moment that Shi Tian finally realized one thing that had been daunting to him.

The matter that daunted him was how in the world the monsters were so intelligent enough to create a magnetic field that specifically counter the Railgun Blaster in Theobold's arsenal.

And with Phoebe's revelation, Shi Tian finally realized why he was called upon here.

She was angry or displeased to be more precise.

"The magnetic field was done by you and your soldiers, but my one sonic boom ruined your plan. It can't be that you are trying to make me compensate for the magnetic field now, right?" Shi Tian kept his composure and calmly responded in a light-

hearted tone.
