Reboot: Mechanic-Chapter 377 Luck

Shi Tian was utterly speechless and astonished when luck actually worked so quickly.

Never once did he think Vanessa would ever offer him a free massage.

What was more astounding was that Vanessa's skills in massaging were actually relaxing his muscles which were starting to get stiff.

His mouth was wide open in an "O" shape, a clear evidence of him being shocked to numbness.

Shi Tian's luck attribute point was now the highest among all of his other attribute points. He didn't even have the attention to care about the integrated chip's prideful remark as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Umm... I know it's kind of rude, but why are you giving me a massage, Vanessa?" Shi Tian asked nervously.

He knew it was a bad idea to question such a good thing, but he needed to know why Vanessa suddenly acted this way. Her current action was something he had never anticipated or expected in the past.

If it was him in the past and someone told him he was going to get a free massage from Vanessa, someone who held a high status in Chronosworth City, then he would have laughed it hard.

After all, that was the equivalent saying of an ugly and poor man being able to marry the hottest celebrity woman in the world.

See how unbelievable that was?

The chance of that happening was close to zero, or even negative value because that was just how the reality was.

After waiting for some time, Vanessa responded, "Well, you are technically the backbone of this team here. So if you are to fall ill because of fatigue, then who would deal with those venomous snakes?"

The venomous snakes she was talking about referred to the likes of Theobold and Phoebe. They are considered venomous snakes because each of them had their own motive that was hidden from the public.

Who knows when they will strike at you?

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was still somewhat skeptical of the reason. It didn't make sense to him why she would suddenly massage him because of that reason.

'Did luck really play such a large part?' Shi Tian pondered silently, feeling perplexed by the situation.

Luck was something that no one could ever guarantee or calculate about. So to rely on luck was like a gamble, and Shi Tian never wanted to gamble with his life until he was absolutely certain of winning.

As Shi Tian was submerged in thought, Vanessa's voice brought him back to reality.

"Am I massaging the right area?" She asked gently.

Although still a bit weird out of the situation, Shi Tian pointed at his lower left shoulder more.

"Over there is still kind of sore," he said softly.

Vanessa nodded her head and proceeded to massage the sore area that he had pointed out.

While this unlikely situation was happening, Mary, who had her eyes closed the entire time, was curious why there was no sound. Since Shi Tian was crafting things, she should have heard soldering or metal clanking together.

Confused, she opened her eyes and when she saw the scene in front of her, she nearly fell from her chair.

Rubbing her eyes repeatedly to confirm that she wasn't being illusional, she was even more dumbfounded.

"What is this scene…" Mary muttered in complete shock and disbelief.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she faked a cough and asked, "Nathan, aren't you supposed to craft the Spymon? Didn't you know the deadline was looming closer and closer?"

And before Shi Tian could even respond, Vanessa paused her massaging temporarily as she turned and glared at Mary.

"Do you think Nathan is some sort of machine or robot?" Vanessa raised an eyebrow and asked sarcastically.

"Look at you resting and sleeping in the chair while Nathan was here working so much. Instead of even feeling guilty for not contributing much, you even have the nerve to question him slacking? Very mature of you, Mary." She scolded harshly.

Shi Tian secretly wanted to praise Vanessa for spouting such facts that he dared not to say.

'Luck is fantastic.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, wanting Vanessa to keep cooking.

Let her cook!

Alas, Mary was unamused and even squinted her eyes at Vanessa.

"So you're telling me that if someone acts impulsively and creates this trouble in the first place. Then I'm obligated to help and save that person from being in trouble?" Mary crossed her arms and questioned back.

Vanessa was subsequently stumped, unable to rebuke Mary's statement.

Indeed, this mess started from Shi Tian, but that was because he was forced to. Otherwise, who knows what kind of predicament they might be in?

"Even if Nathan was wrong in the first place, he is still your teammate nevertheless. Or are you that heartless to let your teammate die?" Vanessa clenched her fist and asked.

"If so, then I suppose you really don't have to feel any guilt. However, my respect for you would dwindle hard."

"As if your respect is worth anything from the start." Mary sneered coldly.

However, she still moved closer to the work table, her intention being clear. She was going to assist Shi Tian, but not because of Vanessa's influence.

She merely didn't want to be accused of being a lazy person who would slack off.

"Move over," Mary said somewhat annoyingly as she pushed Shi Tian's chair away from the work table.

"You owe me one for making me do this." She added, gnashing her teeth.

Vanessa held a smirk when she realized her provocation worked like a charm.

"Since Mary is willing to help, you are welcome, Nathan." She whispered softly to Shi Tian, seemingly looking for some praise.

And this time, Shi Tian couldn't refuse her request and praised her wholeheartedly.

"Yes, you have done a very good job this time, Vanessa." Shi Tian made a sneaky thumbs-up for Vanessa. Not only did she help relax his muscles, but she also got Mary to assist him now.

It was the perfect scenario that he had imagined, but never believed it would actually come true.
