Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 79 Miraculous Effect

The oath was swiftly made into effect once Vanessa realized she could utilize a loophole and nullify the oath later on.

And of course, Shi Tian was the proud one but remained humble and acted ignorant of the supposed loophole.

To complete the oath was rather simple. There was no need of slicing a finger to drop some blood. That was an old-school thought process and a very inefficient method.

Why must one use their real blood to create an oath?

The oath was cast with Vanessa manipulating the Magicule in the surroundings and both of them chanted their term one by one. It wasn't simultaneous because who knows if the other party might speak some other words that weren't part of the deal.

Once the chant was completed, both Vanessa and Shi Tian felt like their body was pierced by something, but felt no damage whatsoever. Those were the bounding Magicule and would remain in effect for eternity unless the oath was specifically stated to last a certain period.

"The oath is complete, now give me the Restorative Potion." Vanessa impatiently said. She had wasted too much time and her body was gradually worsening.

Shi Tian nodded his head and threw the Restorative Potion toward her.

Vanessa grabbed the Restorative Potion and inspected the vibrant green color. The green color was bright and coherent with the image she had in mind.

Without hesitation, she chugged it down to her throat as if it was some alcohol.

After all, she wasn't worried about him playing a foul trick and doing something to the Restorative Potion. If he had really done it, then the oath they made would have restrained him dearly.

Once she finished drinking the Restorative Potion, her pale complexion quickly faded, the same goes for her bloody infected wounds. It was recovering at a fast rate that the naked eye could see.

Shi Tian was equally astonished to see that the Restorative Potion had such a miraculous effect. It hadn't even been a few seconds since she had drunk it, and yet her recovery was about to be done.

Not even 10 seconds later, Vanessa seemed to have undergone nirvana, turning from a near-death state into a healthy person, and had zero signs of being severely injured.

Once she was fully recovered, she started inhaling and exhaling, mimicking an action as if she had just been baptized. She started stretching her body left and right, void of the previous weakened self that couldn't move an inch.

Seeing that she was overly energetic, Shi Tian suddenly clapped his hands and actively provoked her.

"Wow, look at you, Vanessa. You looked even more beautiful, just enough to feast my eyesight like previously when I saw those smooth and clear skin of yours, especially those ample breasts." He then said lecherously.

At first, Vanessa pretended to not hear anything, but Shi Tian kept on pressing the matter, describing her body curve and repeatedly mentioning seeing her almost-naked body.

Even a saint would get mad when being provoked consecutively. Unable to handle his lecherous comments and descriptions of her body, Vanessa manipulated the Magicule and attempted to attack Shi Tian out of rage.

Unfortunately, she wasn't able to even proceed with the attack when she suddenly felt the constraint of a particular Magicule that prevented her from harming Shi Tian.

And when she saw the cold smirk on his face, she realized she was once again tricked and played like a fiddle under his palm. She doesn't know why, but she managed to keep losing her composure and demeanor toward Shi Tian.

"Heh, seems like the oath is really effective. You couldn't even harm me after all of my words." Shi Tian laughed heartily, ignoring her deadly gaze, and went toward the diner table.

"Let's just eat the food before it gets too cold. I still need to get some sleep after having gone through so much ordeal to help you out." He then said, letting her know that if it wasn't for him, then she would have still been struggling outside.

Although annoyed by his lecherous talk previously, she still went toward the diner table and glanced at the food he had ordered.

"Higarous meat?" She raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You don't like them?"

"No, it's just that I didn't realize you would order this kind of food."

"This kind of food?" This time, it was Shi Tian that was confused by her wording.

Wasn't this kind of food a staple food for the current era?

"Nothing, this is more of a commoner food, but I guessed it's alright. Though I would have preferred Minasarus meat better." Vanessa shook her head and said, having some food in the mouth was already good enough. With her current circumstance and condition, she couldn't choose to be picky regarding food.

A few minutes later, the two began eating their food, and Shi Tian started to enquire about her situation.

"Anyway, what is the White Syndicate and why did they target you? I think I deserve to know some of the information since I have treated you." Shi Tian asked calmly.

And to be fair, he didn't even charge her the price of the potion, mainly because he did kind of feel bad for not knowing he had it in the first place. Not to mention, the potions didn't belong to him either, so it couldn't be counted as a loss either.

Naturally, Vanessa also knew about this matter and chose not to delve into the topic further. A potion's price was truly out of her current budget, so they both had a tacit understanding to not discuss it.

"I came here because of the New Region, Nathan. I'm sure news of it had already begun to circulate to the public, but the New Region had long been spread to certain people." Vanessa said subtly.

There wasn't a need to say everything clearer to him since she knew he was a shrewd man to comprehend the tiny bits of hint.

Sure enough, Shi Tian instantly understood her focal point, which was the fact that she was in a hierarchy that could obtain information faster than normal people.

"Hmm, I understand that part, but why were you specifically targeted in the first place?" He then asked.

"Because in my inventory, I have a device that can help me navigate the New Region once it's fully open. And the device is that of Ancient Technology."
