Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 63 Determination

The mention of the New Region being an experiment site from the times of the Great Disaster intrigued Shi Tian. It sparked his curiosity and made him wonder what kind of experiments had taken place there and what secrets the region held.

As he delved deeper into the article and other related sources, he learned that the Great Disaster was a catastrophic event that occurred decades ago, resulting in the collapse of civilization as it was known. The world was ravaged by natural disasters, widespread destruction, and the emergence of mutated creatures and supernatural phenomena.

During that time, various factions and organizations attempted to find ways to combat the disaster and its consequences.

They conducted experiments and research in search of solutions, but most of their efforts proved fruitless. As a result, the world fell into chaos, and survivors had to adapt to the harsh realities of the new era.

The revelation that the New Region was connected to the Great Disaster piqued Shi Tian's interest even more. He realized that exploring this area could potentially hold the key to understanding the past and perhaps finding clues about his own circumstances.

After all, he might have experienced a bit of the circumstance during the times of the Great Disaster, but he was always locked at a shelter center, resulting in him not having much information.

"It seems like I have to go to this New Region to investigate." Shi Tian mumbled, clenching his fist tightly.

With a newfound determination, Shi Tian made up his mind to venture into the New Region. He knew the risks involved, especially with the presence of dangerous monsters, but the opportunity to uncover the mysteries of the Great Disaster was too enticing to pass up, especially when it could help uncover his doubts.

However, before embarking on this journey, Shi Tian needed to prepare himself adequately.

He made a mental checklist of the essential items he would require: weapons, ammunition, protective gear, and supplies. It was crucial to be well-equipped for the dangers that awaited him.

Unfortunately, most of the supplies required money and currently, he was on the verge of being a broke man.

'The vanguard that the military is recruiting would end in around a month, so I still have time to prepare myself.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, reading more details regarding the military's recruitment.

Since it was a new region, with a high probability of many resources waiting to be discovered, there was definitely going to be a lot of preparation made.

Not to mention, the people who dared to sign up to be the vanguard aren't going to be some country bumpkin that just rushed in without a plan.

As much as Shi Tian wished people could be idiots like Benmos, the truth was actually far from it.

These people who survived in this chaotic world definitely have the ability or some trump card up their sleeves to live for so long.

And Shi Tian dared not underestimate any of them, especially when there are people that could manipulate Magicule to their advantage.

When Shi Tian wanted to plan for more, his stomach started growling, prompting him to realize that he had not eaten for quite a while.

Maybe it was because his mind was no longer in battle mode that it reminded him to eat. After all, he hadn't felt any hunger when he was training and strengthening himself nor when he was waiting for Old Man Chao to arrive at the meet-up location.

Rubbing his stomach softly, Shi Tian wondered what kind of cuisine was available in the current era. The food he had eaten so far was the disgusting flesh of Armored Rat, and without an ounce of seasonings too.

If he wasn't in such a chaotic environment, then he would have yelled at someone regarding where's the sauce, especially lamb sauce in particular.

His stomach continued to growl, being extremely persistent about starving and sending him signals to eat something.

"Ugh, it seems like my money is going to dwindle further to feed this stomach of mine." Shi Tian grumbled in annoyance. He thought he had stopped being human altogether due to his lack of emotion, but it seemed like he was wrong about it.

'Wait a minute, isn't beast hungry being too? The law of nature is really true.' Shi Tian came to himself when he forgot that even monsters starve. After snapping out of his stupidity, Shi Tian walked toward the refrigerator, praying that there was some food left.

Since the previous tenant was killed by the Crimson Mage for some reason, and the furniture here doesn't seem to be touched, Shi Tian thought maybe there is some leftover food as well.

"Aha, there is still some food-"

When Shi Tian opened the refrigerator, he was indeed excited to see food stored in it, but upon closer inspection, he realized that all of them have long been spoiled.

'What the heck is this crap?' Shi Tian was confused, taking out one of the food plates. By the time his hand touched the food plate, everything became clear to him.

The food plate wasn't even cold, meaning the refrigerator might have malfunctioned.

Only that way could explain why all the food became spoiled despite being supposedly stored in a cold environment meant to preserve the food. The freezing was to cool down the bacteria to stop the food from being spoiled, but since the freezing was gone, it was only natural that all the food become waste.

"Sigh, even the fruits are rotten now." Shi Tian shook his head and reluctantly took all the food out and dumped it into the trash.

Meanwhile, his stomach started to growl louder, prompting Shi Tian to have the urge to punch his own stomach.

Wasn't he already trying to find food?

Why couldn't his stomach be understanding?

"Just quiet down my stomach. I need to figure out why the refrigerator malfunctioned first." Shi Tian patted his stomach and unplugged the refrigerator, feeling annoyed by the situation.

Just now he was having a grand determination, yet now he was stuck trying to fix a refrigerator.

Some grand determination eh.
