Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 120 Allocation

Despite how terrifying Mary was, Shi Tian managed to compose his emotion in the end and thought about the scene from a new perspective.

If it wasn't for the fact that Mary was this talented, then he wouldn't have even agreed to become a decoy for them.

Without going through any risk, how could one gain any benefits?

The more they needed him to pose as the decoy, the more Shi Tian could use this to his benefit. So long as he could learn the movement technique from Mary, then he wouldn't need to be so cautious at everything.

Though he made sure to keep an important note in mind. Mary's movement speed may be fast, but that just meant mutated monsters in higher grades are even faster.

'The Tenceloras were able to chase after Yolanda despite her being fast as well. So one can never be arrogant just because they have some speed.' Shi Tian reminded himself.

Being humble and lowkey goes a long way, but when it is necessary to be highkey, such as killing these Night Intruders, then it shall be time for a blasting feast.

Don't cause trouble, but never be afraid of trouble that comes to find you!

That was his motto and shall remain like that unless something changes.

"Anyway, let's pause the recording and go back to when Mary pulled out the dagger. Since she has given me permission to watch the recording, then it's expected that she was telling me to use this time to study her movements properly." Shi Tian murmured, going through his mind to replay the scenery.

And almost like magic, Mary's figure returned to her original position and Layn was blabbing on his nonsense again.

This kind of cool and amazing feature would usually only be available in a game and never in real life. But now that technologies have improved by leaps and bounds, even this kind of game concept could be implemented.

Alas, Shi Tian knew that this kind of feature was only possible because of the watch and Mary's Iron Sentinel.

And it wouldn't take a genius to know that such features are extremely costly and scarce.

If everyone could utilize such features, then the people in the camp outside of Gearits City or the Night Intruders they killed wouldn't be so pathetic. The Night Intruders would have first recorded their target and then used the Virtual Connection to inspect and spy on them before doing anything else.

"If only I could somehow understand the concept of such a feature and study it, then I might be able to craft one for myself." He muttered, feeling disheartened by his insignificant knowledge.

"Right, I killed some enemies, so my level should have gone up as well. Maybe I have some more free attribute points to allocate." Shi Tian suddenly thought about it and nearly forgot he could see his own status whenever and wherever he wanted to.

Without hesitation, Shi Tian opened up the status screen to check his current progress.

Looking at his status screen, Shi Tian was visibly shaken by the drastic change in data and information.

Previously, his health and other stats are pretty negligible, including his main class being empty.

However, this time, it was quite clear that the moment he had decided to walk the path of a Mechanic, the status screen automatically changed to it.

And now, even his sub-class apprentice was showing information in which he would have a comprehension of mechanical related-stuff.

"No wonder why I was able to craft two Blv-21. The apprentice sub-class was not just a simple status." Shi Tian murmured in disbelief.

Aside from that, information regarding the Class Talent had been stated that it would be available when he reached level 30. Since it was something that he could still not unlock yet, Shi Tian brushed past this particular point for the moment.

Instead, his attention was focused on the free attribute point he now had available to allocate.

Looking at the 20 available points, Shi Tian guessed it was most likely because his level had risen exactly by 10, so the free attribute points should be 2 per level increase.

Of course, that was only an educated guess and could not be used as the basis.

Who knows what would occur the more his level increased or what sarcastic remark the status screen would show next?

The remark about him being a masochist buffoon was clearly a hard jab at him for taking so much damage.

Rubbing his chin, Shi Tian nodded his head.

"That's it, I was wrong to be absent-minded and decided to allocate these points to other stats previously. I should have prioritized one stat for now and not attempted to equalize the stats." He exclaimed loudly and directly put all 20 free attribute points into Intelligence.

Instantly, his Intelligence went from 13 to 33, and his mind seemed to have cleared up quite a lot of doubts that were on his mind previously.

Call him impulsive or whatnot, but Shi Tian knew prioritizing intelligence is the correct choice with his current circumstances.

Intelligence was the stat that could assist him in comprehending the movement of Mary and his other mechanic-related skills compared to the other stats.

"Phew, my mind is cleared and I can somewhat grasp Mary's movement now that my intelligence has risen. If only this happened pre-apocalyptic and we still have school, then I would have aced every exam in a breeze." Shi Tian stretched his body and humored.
