Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 94 Dimension Ring

"Vanessa, I brought back three dishes of Minasarus meat. Come out and eat before the food turns cold." Shi Tian knocked on her door the moment he returned home.

After waiting for a few seconds, the door slightly opened and like a bobblehead, Vanessa was peeking out slightly.

"Do I look like a little kid that would forgive you because of some food?" She hissed coldly, seemingly still mad about him scolding her for no reason.

Shi Tian twitched his mouth and smiled briefly.

"We've all made mistakes, and it's not like you didn't make any mistakes either. So how about we let bygones be bygones and start over. You wouldn't be that petty enough to still be mad, right?"

Vanessa narrowed her eyes and glared at him. Glaring at him menacingly, she pondered for a moment before opening the door.

"Hmph, I'm not as petty as you." She snorted coldly and opened the door wide.

And walking confidently toward the diner table, she sat on the chair and asked, "Where's the food?"

Shi Tian was speechless at her.

Wasn't the food literally right in front of her?

Why was she pretending that she couldn't see the food?

Nevertheless, he wouldn't act petty or angry like her and took the food out of the bag.

A few minutes later, the two of them began eating and Vanessa stared at Shi Tian intensely, causing him to be somewhat uncomfortable.

"Is there something on my face?" Shi Tian asked, unable to stand her staring.

"No, but there should be something wrong with your brain. Don't you even know what a Dimension Ring does? Or were you just trying to look for an excuse to scold me?" Vanessa asked, clearly still pressed on the matter.

"I'm a country bumpkin, Vanessa. I don't know anything and am a rough man."

"I can tell. If you weren't a country bumpkin, then there's no other explanation for not knowing what a Dimension Ring was."

"Then dear young miss, please kindly explain what a Dimension Ring is and educate this country bumpkin."

"Pfft," Vanessa unconsciously made a soft laugh at his tone of speech but quickly composed herself.

She coughed for a bit and exuding a dignified aura, she nodded her head.

"Very well then. Since you wish to be educated, then I shall let you know what a Dimension Ring was." She said, taking off the ring that was on her left middle finger.

"This Dimension Ring was crafted with three concepts. A great material, formation, and Magus spell or Mechanic. A great material naturally meant an amazing steel material type that could withstand a lot of impact whereas a formation is utilized to protect the content of the Dimension Ring."

"Protect the content?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow and interrupted her.

"Yes, the formation is designed to recognize the owner of a Dimension Ring, allowing only them to take out the content within the ring. So if a stranger were to steal a Dimension Ring and attempt to open it unauthorized, then they'll receive a deadly blast instead."

Shi Tian nodded his head. "I see, then what do you mean about the last concept? You said three concepts but a Magus Spell or Mechanic is two things."

Vanessa sighed softly but didn't say anything, and only made a thirsty expression.

Shi Tian twitched his brows.

'Fine, if it wasn't because there is no information regarding a Dimension Ring online, then I wouldn't have even bothered to ask.' He thought to himself, getting up and pouring some water into a glass cup for her to drink.

Once she finished quenching her thirst, Vanessa flashed a cheeky smile and stretched her arms.

"The reason why I said a Magus Spell or Mechanic is because a Dimension Ring utilized the 4-dimensional space, and to achieve such a feat required a powerful Magus to cast the spell to construct the space or a proficient Mechanic to craft it." She then explained.

And she continued, "The first two requirements are easy, but to find a Magus or Mechanic that could do such a feat is extremely rare and hard. Thus, a Dimension Ring is extremely precious. And information regarding a Dimension Ring is limited. Only someone like me is capable of owning one and having knowledge of it."

"Yes, only someone like you that would get ambushed and almost die could own one." Shi Tian commented.

Vanessa clicked her tongue and her expression darkened the moment she heard his jeering.

Even now, she was still frustrated by the situation and was furious at not just the enemy, but herself. If it wasn't because she had met Shi Tian and bluffed him hard, then she would have died a pathetic death.

"Must you always be so rude the moment my mood turns for the better?" Vanessa pouted and ate another piece of Minasarus Meat.

"Then must you always brag about your extraordinary identity and flex on it?" Shi Tian retorted.

"..."

As much as Vanessa wanted to say something in response, she couldn't. After all, it was the truth and that was just her habit developed a long time ago.

"Then if I try to minimize my haughty attitude, would you also do the same?" She asked softly, taking a sneak glance at him.

Shi Tian didn't bother to say anything and merely nodded his head.

Seeing that, Vanessa clenched her fist and said, "Fine, I'll try to restrain myself, so you should do the same."

Even if she didn't decide to say anything today, she was truly exhausted from constantly getting mad at him.

Who told Shi Tian to be talented in having such a venomous tongue?

Each insult from him was like a sharp dagger, piercing deeply at her heart and weaknesses.

"To be fair, I doubt we would fight much longer anyway." Shi Tian suddenly said.

"Why is that?" Vanessa asked, confused by him.

"Because in a few days, I'll be heading outside the wilderness, so only you would be alone at the house. I doubt you would be that bored to fight yourself, right?"
