Chapter 354 Call To Arms
?Shi Tian sighed inwardly, feeling the weight of the integrated chip's words resonating within him. The integrated chip was far from sugar-coating the truth, and it struck a nerve within him.
The integrated chip was right—Shi Tian had been caught up in schemes and trivial activities, all to gather resources and get ahead.
However, in the vast world of mechanics, without resources, progress remained a far-off dream. But the integrated chip's biting remarks weren't helping either.
It was clear that the integrated chip was enjoying his plight in trying to gather the resources while judging him for not working as a proper mechanic.
'Just do the analysis and tell me when it's done.' Shi Tian said, unwilling to converse with it further. With that said, Shi Tian subsequently closed the status screen and avoided looking at his pathetic stats.
He had already seen his level remain the same, and the stats were still quite low when the status screen was scrolling down to the description part which the integrated chip utilized to communicate with him.
The only positive part about him was probably his keen eyesight that could see perfectly and because of that, his aiming was great.
Other than that, there really wasn't much that Shi Tian could be proud of.
As Shi Tian was lost in thought, Vanessa nudged Mary's arm and asked, "I've been wondering for a while, but does he always look like he's in a daze?"
Confused, Mary turned to Vanessa. "What do you mean by that?"
Given Mary was focused on her screen and task, she didn't have the idle time like Vanessa to be looking at Shi Tian.
Thus, Vanessa needed to explain what she had just seen. "Nathan was looking at the empty air earlier, and his expression was changing from frustration to somewhat coy."
"That Theobold is scheming something again." Vanessa clicked her tongue and was quick to accuse Theobold's actions.
Though who could Theobold blame other than himself for being so cunning and untrustworthy?
While Vanessa was quick to complain and accuse Theobold, Mary noticed Shi Tian's expression.
"You don't seem surprised by the call to arms, Nathan?" Mary asked in amusement.
"Well, aren't you the same, Mary?" Shi Tian chuckled softly and returned the question back to her.
"I guess you're right. The other commanders are exhausting their resources and arsenal to combat the monster wave, with Theobold having to deal with the largest number. So how could Theobold stand by and let his resources drain tremendously while we get to sit back and relax?"
"Heh, if I was Theobold, then I would definitely not let them relax at all."
Mary nodded her head in agreement.
Being called to arms was expected from them, so Mary was long prepared for it.
"Gerald and the rest are in position already, so even if Theobold wants to do something to us. He'll definitely suffer for trying to." Mary informed them.
Shi Tian simultaneously retrieved a few traps that he had crafted earlier. "My traps are also ready, so any fools that want to seek trouble with us can receive a death sentence."
As Shi Tian and Mary stared at each other, seemingly understanding each other's plan, Vanessa didn't want to feel left out, so she stepped forward and announced something of her own as well.
"Well, I've also got my people on standby now. They are ready to assist me as soon as I make a signal." Vanessa proclaimed, and a hint of pride could be heard in her voice.
Alas, the reception was poor and she was ignored by the two of them.
