Reboot: Mechanic

Mary and Vanessa exchanged glances, their expressions shifting from playful to more serious. It was clear that Shi Tian's persistence had brought them to a point where they had to reveal the truth.

"Fine, it's not that we didn't advance forward, but the dense area was swarmed with monsters." Mary scratched her head and answered. "Just swarm with monsters?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, seemingly still doubtful at her answer. With her skills alone, no monsters could ever possibly pose much of a difficulty to her. Not to mention, she was with Vanessa, who despite her naive personality on the surface was secretly filled with schemes and was in possession of Ancient Technology.

"Ugh, the monsters are just like the Evolved Gilaso variant. They were practically impossible to be annihilated." Vanessa clicked her tongue and outright revealed the truth.

"Their senses are heightened to the maximum, and we can't even get close before being spotted. If it weren't for the fact that they rather bathed in the strange energy, then we wouldn't have been able to escape." She added, letting Shi Tian estimate the strength of the monsters with the evolved Gilaso variant as a reference.

Shi Tian himself had personally witnessed the strength of the evolved Gilaso variant, so it wouldn't take long for him to determine the strength of the monsters. As calm as he looked on the surface, Shi Tian realized it was indeed foolish of them to believe they could get a headstart. The monsters' senses are way better than humans, so if they could find such an area, then they would definitely spot it earlier than them and occupy it.

"No wonder you two arrived so fast to pick me up." Shi Tian held a deadpan expression as he said, clearly sneering and jeering at them two. "Tsk, don't act so proud Nathan. You nearly got yourself killed, so you're worse than us." Vanessa clicked her tongue and exclaimed. They might have experienced setbacks, but at the very least, they weren't injured like Shi Tian.

"Well, it's obvious that I'm weaker than the two of you, but I still managed to repel the elite soldiers. But did you kill any of those monsters residing there?" Shi Tian questioned back. "W-Well, we didn't want to risk anything."

"That's not my question." "It's the same thing."

"No, my question was, did you or did you not kill any of the monsters there?" Shi Tian glared at Vanessa deeply. It was clear that he wasn't going to let her off for making such a remark at him.

Meanwhile, Vanessa lowered her head and said in a barely audible tone, "W-We did not kill any…" Nodding his head, Shi Tian no longer pressed on the matter further. He knew the limits he could pass and the limits that he should not pass. Sometime later, Shi Tian grabbed a chair and proceeded to type up the context of the recording despite Mary's ordering not to do it.

His reasoning?

If the monsters were as deadly as the evolved Gilaso variant they had encountered, then there was only one option left.

And that was to rally all other people to become cannon fodder for them.

It couldn't be helped. They were incapable of dealing with the monsters, so instead of admiring them from afar, it was better to simply reveal the actual location to all.

As for how the revelation would be– that was where the recording would take place.

Using the White Syndicate name again, they shall warn everyone to not enter the dense area as it is their territory from now on.

"Aren't you just provoking them to go anyway, Nathan?" Vanessa rubbed her chin softly and said. Shi Tian nodded his head. "That's exactly the effect I wish to create. You see– people are quite hilarious. They love to fight among others constantly, but when an outsider decides to intervene and fight, everyone temporarily stops fighting. Instead, they'll turn all their attention to the outsider, forcing them away." He explained his theory.

"Just think of Nathan as the shrewd chancellor who loves to create situations to push people to act on his plan." Mary shrugged her shoulders. "Nathan is the type of person I despised the most. Very weak, but they used their brain constantly to create situations that benefit them." "Thank you for the compliment, Mary." Shi Tian smiled brightly, not offended by her remarks. After all, that was exactly how he acted and he found no shame in it. It was effortless work to make others work on his behalf. Why should he be ashamed of managing such things? Not many people could create such scenarios to make others do their bidding. It required tons of experience and manipulation. A few minutes later, Shi Tian officially made a post on the Darknet under the identity of an anonymous user. Anonymous user, a great account that ensured no one would ever figure out who the poster was. And given it was the Darknet, even if someone attempted to track the user down, it would be a futile attempt.

"Phew, now we just need to wait for the chaos to happen." Shi Tian stretched his hands and exclaimed.

"Sigh, we're really hopeless people." Vanessa suddenly said and shook her head. "The frontline is still being swarmed by the monster wave, but instead of trying to minimize the danger, we are increasing it." She added, feeling like she had lost a part of her soul for being so vile and profit-minded. However, it was only for a split second, and she gradually regained her composure.

At the end of the day, Gearits City was an unfamiliar place to her compared to Chronosworth City. Whether Gearits City ended up being in ruin had nothing to do with her. Initially, she merely agreed to help them out of gratitude and partially because of Shi Tian. But now that she realized Theobold's character, why should she still help him out? "The citizens can only blame themselves for having such great military teams," Mary shrugged, feeling zero guilt.
