Chapter 180 Reasoning

Being a mechanic not only required one to be able to craft things from scratch, but it also required them to utilize other things in their crafting.

The most common application that one would utilize was coding.

Coding is essentially the body part of a craft, allowing the user to maximize the craft to its full potential.

Just take the modified Claymore Mines that they had sold for example. If the Claymore Mines couldn\'t be activated manually, then it would be no different than a stationary Claymore Mine trap that required the enemies to accidentally stumble across it.

Just thinking about waiting and waiting, along with the possibility that the enemies might not even walk into the trap in the end, would be devastating.

However, thanks to the application of coding, allowing the user to have a control button in which they could activate the Claymore Mine regardless of the enemies had stumbled across it would be game-changing.

After all, even if the enemies might not step on it, but are near the explosive radius, then they could still activate it and deal tons of damage to them.

And with that explained, Shi Tian now realized his status screen that stated he was a mechanic seemed to be a joke or a taunt to him.

\'I don\'t even know how to begin the coding properly, much less applied to a nonexistent item that I only have in mind. How can I be qualified as a mechanic?\' Shi Tian thought to himself, realizing how arrogant he was earlier to attempt to create a new product alone.

Shaking his head, Shi Tian simply wrote a few more notes down on the diagram before storing it in the Dimension Ring.

With his current ability, it was a pipe dream to achieve something like that.

Sometime later, Shi Tian was focusing on the Claymore Mine blueprint, seemingly increasing his understanding of it. He was going to craft them soon, regardless of the current state of emergency.

While doing so, Shi Tian heard a knock from outside.

Dropping the blueprint on the table, Shi Tian stood up and opened the door.

"What do you want?" He then asked.

"You are really a bastard," Vanessa clicked her tongue and said.

"It\'s been a few hours already and yet you seem to have no intention of persuading or convincing me to lend you Ancient Technology." She added.

Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders, giving her the "I don\'t know" expression.

"Don\'t feign ignorance, Nathan. I\'m sure it\'s Mary that told you about me and my Ancient Technology being useful in this type of situation." Vanessa crossed her arms and said.

After all, she had once revealed about owning an Ancient Technology to him, but never gave in the details. Mainly though it was Shi Tian not caring about it nor did he attempt to pry further.

Thus, that leaves her with one conclusion, and that it was Mary being the knowledgeable one. It was because of this which made her to be on guard and hostile toward her.

Concerning someone that knew her background and details so thoroughly, it would be unrealistic if they aren\'t going to be on guard, given that Mary was a stranger as well.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian kept silent, giving her the answer that she needed.

Without confirming it, but also not denying it meant that Vanessa was mostly correct with her deduction. And attempting to lie about it would be pointless, so he didn\'t bother to reply back.

"Since you now know how powerful the Ancient Technology in my possession is, shouldn\'t you be more eager to request my help? Instead of idling in your small workshop." Vanessa asked, clearly unable to understand his behavior.

Time was ticking down, and the monster wave would only increase, never decrease.

After all, when a monster wave is created, it means that the reproduction ability of the monsters was extremely high.

No matter how much they kill, more monsters would come out. They would all undergo mutation thanks to the environment, so going from a toddler to an adult species is just a snap of a finger.

Taking a deep breath, Shi Tian didn\'t want to answer her, but she got her foot right by the doorstep, and she was also blocking the exit path.

It was pretty clear that Vanessa wouldn\'t let him go until he gave her a proper answer.

Shi Tian sighed softly before taking a step back away from the door, letting her know that he does not intend to lock the door or run away.

"Whether you want to lend your Ancient Technology to us is up to you to decide. If you don\'t want to lend it, then no matter how hard I convince you, it will be futile in the end." Shi Tian explained.

And he continued, "So if you don\'t want to lend it, I would understand your standpoint. You have been seriously injured before, and I have no plan in dragging you to the muddy water that I have submerged in it already."

"Is the latter explanation the truth and the former reason you gave me was just some crap excuse?" Vanessa was quick on her mind and understood his real reasoning.

The first reason he gave was logical, but also dumb at the same time. If people always had the mindset of accepting failure before trying, then there would be no improvement or change in a situation.

To her understanding, Shi Tian doesn\'t seem like the type to give up easily. Within his eyes, there was always a subtle burning passion to live, almost as if he still had a lot of things to do.

Therefore, it was impossible to place Shi Tian as a cowardly individual that would never try to succeed.

And once again, Shi Tian chose to remain silent, not denying nor confirming her doubts.

"I\'ve said what I needed, so even if you stay there, I won\'t entertain you any longer." He then said, walking back to his chair.

However, before he could take a seat, Vanessa gave him a response swiftly.

"My Ancient Technology… I can lend it to you."
