Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 294 Markings

The situation left Shi Tian with mixed emotions.

On one hand, he was relieved to learn that he wasn't restricted to choosing just one subclass; all of them were available, and he could develop them simultaneously.

This provided him with incredible versatility and potential.

However, the revelation also left him somewhat frustrated. He had spent time agonizing over his subclass choice when, in fact, there wasn't a point to do so.

The integrated chip's withholding of this information felt like a practical joke.

It was also because of this simple yet meaningful revelation that Shi Tian understood something.

The integrated chip could be reliable at times, but also not reliable at other times.

Everything depended on its mood, and this made Shi Tian ponder whether this was a good thing or not.

If possible, Shi Tian would want to remove the integrated chip, but it also worried him deeply regarding the status screen that indicated his current attributes and other important details.

"Forget it, let's check the surroundings." Shi Tian shook his head, standing up from the ground, and getting ready to inspect his surroundings.

As much as he wanted to test his subclass and class talent, he had nothing to work with. However, there was something that he could attempt to do.

The subclass- Mecha Operator could technically be used once Shi Tian gave it a bit more thought.

His boosters' suit should be considered a mech of some sort, so wouldn't his efficiency and proficiency with the boosters' suit increase?

With a mental command, he activated the boosters' suit. The familiar sensation of enhanced mobility washed over him as he hovered slightly above the ground. The suit responded to his thoughts effortlessly, and he felt a surge of satisfaction. It seemed that his intuition was correct.

Shi Tian began to experiment, pushing the suit to its limits, and darting through the cave with increased speed and agility. He tested its defensive capabilities, making quick evasive maneuvers to simulate combat scenarios.

With each passing moment, he could feel his connection to the boosters' suit growing stronger. It was as if he was becoming one with the machine, a true Mecha Operator in the making.

Nevertheless, Shi Tian didn't let this new discovery blind his goal and current predicament.

"My mobility seemed to be more efficient now compared to the previous battle earlier. If I had this subclass earlier, then maybe I wouldn't have been riddled with bullets." Shi Tian murmured, seemingly still depressed about his blunder.

Shi Tian's thoughts wandered back to the intense battle he had faced earlier.

The memory of bullets tearing through the air and the sensation of pain from his injuries was still fresh in his mind. He couldn't help but replay the events, wondering if things might have been different with the newfound abilities of his Mecha Operator subclass.

As he continued to test the limits of his boosters' suit, his movements became increasingly fluid and precise.

He executed aerial flips and spins effortlessly, feeling the thrill of enhanced mobility. It was a stark contrast to his earlier struggles in the battle against the soldiers.

Despite his frustration and regrets, Shi Tian knew that dwelling on the past wouldn't change anything. He had to focus on the present and the future.

The Mecha Operator subclass provided him with a unique advantage, and he was determined to make the most of it.

With renewed determination, he decided to explore the cave further.

"I've been wondering all this time, but the cave doesn't appear natural." Shi Tian muttered softly, his eyes glancing at the deeper part of the path.

Normally, it wouldn't be surprising to have caves forming in the wilderness, but the area they are in doesn't seem to be suitable for caves to form.

Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestones, and Shi Tian had inspected the area earlier. There are no limestones anywhere, which means this cave was not natural but made by someone, whether it was a human or a monster.

It was just that he didn't bother checking previously due to his injuries and fatigue.

And now that he had subtly recovered, Shi Tian decided to explore the cave.

His enhanced mobility allowed him to traverse the uneven terrain with ease, and he moved deeper into the cave, guided by a sense of curiosity and purpose.

As he ventured deeper, the cave's interior began to change.

The rocky walls gave way to smooth, metallic surfaces, and dimly lit corridors stretched out before him. It was as if he had entered a different world altogether.

Shi Tian's instincts were correct and he knew immediately that such surfaces cannot be natural.

'What an unbelievable sight.' Shi Tian paused his movement temporarily to glance at his surroundings.

The metallic corridors stretched out before Shi Tian, illuminated by a soft, eerie glow. The transition from natural cave formations to this artificial environment was stark and bewildering. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and trepidation as he continued to explore.

Every step he took echoed through the corridor. The air was cool and sterile, devoid of the earthy scents he had grown accustomed to in the wilderness. It was as if he had stepped into a high-tech facility hidden beneath the surface.

"Just what did I step into?" Shi Tian questioned himself softly.

Despite the bewilderment, the passage was getting somewhat difficult to navigate.

Luckily, the Mecha Operator subclass was proving to be invaluable in this kind of environment.

His enhanced mobility allowed him to navigate the corridors with ease, and he felt a growing confidence in his abilities. It was a stark contrast to his earlier vulnerability in the open wilderness.

As he ventured deeper into the metallic labyrinth, he began to notice peculiar markings on the walls.

They resembled a complex blend of symbols and diagrams, some of which seemed almost alien in their design. It was clear that this place was not only artificial but also highly advanced.

Shi Tian couldn't decipher the meaning behind these markings, but he couldn't shake the feeling that they were significant.

'Could these markings be related to the Gilaso variants' monster wave… or the strange energy?'
