Hearing Han Zhan's words, the two street ruffians were taken aback.

What kind of bold words are these? So we're all "too", but you're "wood"?

"You're really a bold one, do you still find joy like this?" The one-eyed man looked at Han Zhan with newfound respect and asked curiously.

Han Zhan gave him a scornful glance and threw the remark back at him.

"Are you a Titan? You've already got prosthetic modifications, do you dare to be a bit more adventurous? Use your brains a little, install lifelike sensors on the prosthetics, you could even save on having hands, it's convenient, sanitary, and healthy!"

The two street ruffians were shocked.

Ignoring these two dumbfounded guys, Han Zhan, with the small robot October, once again headed towards Dawn Street.

There were many shops on Dawn Street, full of dazzling displays, most of which leaned towards the tech side, fitting with Can Shang Company's, Titan City's citizen's overall preferences.

Han Zhan randomly picked a shop and replaced the worn-out parts of the small robot.

The shopkeeper was an old man, his hair already gray. He wore coffee-colored presbyopic glasses and pulled out a monocle from his pocket, clamping it on his right eye.

"Your robot here, its parts are very outdated, a lot of it is craftsmanship from several centuries ago."

"Tsk tsk, look at this gear, it should be from the century before last, a simplified gear promoted and issued by Can Shang Company, which was later abandoned due to compatibility issues."

"And this hydraulic rod, this was also produced by Dongxun Technology, a subsidiary under Can Shang Company, Dongxun Technology has been bankrupt for over two hundred years."

The shopkeeper seemed to recall the past fondly as he worked on it, then remarked, "This robot of yours, was it picked up from a junkyard?"

Old man, you have great eyes, Han Zhan thought to himself.

"However, the overall assembly technique is quite skilled, it looks like the work of an expert, impressive, impressive."

"These cables, this detailed handling, it requires a deep understanding of mechanics to make these old parts perform at maximum capacity, not simple, not simple at all."

The shopkeeper clicked his tongue in wonder as he replaced the parts.

He looked up at Han Zhan.

Han Zhan quickly denied, "Not me, I just found it, I didn't assemble it."

"Of course I know it wasn't you." The old shopkeeper rolled his eyes, "You don't even have a full set of teeth yet, how could you have the Ability? I just think you're a lucky kid."

Over an hour later, the old shopkeeper wiped his forehead sweat and set down his tools.

"Alright, all the parts have been replaced with new ones. Are you not planning to replace this metal shell? I have the latest style here, priced at 300,000 Titan coins."

"No need for that, I just love this retro style," Han Zhan waved his hand repeatedly, refusing without hesitation.

"Suit yourself. The total cost is 12,000 Titan coins." The old shopkeeper said, displaying a payment interface on his hand.

Han Zhan extended his hand, and they shook hands skillfully.

Payment completed.

"Hmm?" Watching Han Zhan leave, the old shopkeeper suddenly felt dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes in confusion, "Weird, did I see it wrong? Why did the photo shown for payment confirmation just now appear as an old black man?"

"Damn it, the Celestial Net system has another bug."

...

Celestial Net Center.

Countless data symbols flashed across the screen, with myriad pieces of information being processed simultaneously. This was the Big Housekeeper of Can Shang Company, the Celestial Net Intelligence Mind.

Below, over a thousand professional analysts assisted Celestial Net in manually selecting and analyzing information, aiding in its work completion.

Just two hours ago, no one noticed a string of strange characters whizzing past on the screen at high speed.

It seemed to be a string of numbers, a middle finger...

"As for the incident at the Mechanical Institute, it has caused an extremely negative impact. The company's higher-ups are paying attention, and they have indicated that when appropriate, Celestial Net's Intelligence Mind can be awakened to conduct a detailed inspection of the entire Titan City."

The reason for this statement is that the main purpose of Celestial Net Intelligence Mind developed by Can Shang Company is to make future projections related to Mechanical Ascension.

So most of the time, it only uses one percent of its computing power to support the city and other areas of work.

Awakening Celestial Net Intelligence Mind means full power mode, only permissible in certain special situations with authorization.

"Has the above agreed?" The investigator responsible for the Mechanical Institute incident asked excitedly.

Because of this incident, he had been working tirelessly, pulling three days of overtime without any extra pay.

Not only that, but if no results were found in the investigation, or if the results were unsatisfactory to the leaders once reported, he might even have performance deductions.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"Not yet." A colleague sympathetically glanced at him and shook his head, "Only one leader agreed, other leaders think it's a minor issue."

"This is still a minor issue?! A Five Stars Abnormal Skeleton Warrior was killed, over a hundred Abnormal Skeleton Warriors and thousands of Super Alloy Robots destroyed, half of the Mechanical Institute blown up, and the entire Titan City saw fireworks in the sky."

"This is still considered a minor issue?"

"Yes, you know, for them, or, in other words, for the entire Can Shang Company, anything other than Mechanical Ascension is a minor issue."

Those words weren't false.

The investigator slumped into his chair, a look of despair on his face.

"However, I got a copy of the slave list entering the Mechanical Institute for you, there might be clues you're looking for."

"Also, we found out that within these slaves, there was a person named Wang Chunyu, who was the one who blew up the Mechanical Institute's original energy storage center and he was rumored to have dated a Shang Family's young lady."

"All this information is here."

...

Han Zhan walked along Dawn Avenue with the newly refurbished little robot October.

Currently, he only had 27,000 Titan coins left, not enough to buy anything more than a decent little handgun.

Never had Han Zhan thought one day he would be bothered by money issues.

Just as he was thinking about how to make money, suddenly, a woman walked towards him.

She was a beautiful young woman.

Carrying a certain mature charm, her facial features were strikingly three-dimensional, with her lips curving into a smile, her eyes reflecting watery brightness.

She was about 175 cm tall, with model-like long legs, wearing a casually sexy blue sweater outlining her slender waist and ample bosom, paired with black fishnet stockings, she appeared both alluring and sophisticated.

"Hey, handsome, here alone to hang out?"

She spoke with a magnetic, pleasing female voice.

She looked good, had the figure, but wasn't sincere enough.

In my current look, and you call me handsome? What a taste!

Han Zhan had no intention of dealing with insincerity, and just as he was about to turn and leave, he was suddenly bumped into by her, knocking him off balance.

"5,000 Titan coins."

Han Zhan turned his face excitedly and asked, "You're giving it to me? Well, that's not impossible!"
