Chapter 8, Trouble Comes from the Mouth

Jelat let out a hum, feeling somewhat pleased inside

He Ruo Zhi has been studying mechanics since childhood. In this era, the definition of mechanics is "mecha mechanics"

Before the words had left his mouth, the Bone Dragon angrily crushed He Ruozhi with a single stomp. The Bone Dragon roared loudly: "Despicable humans, how dare you slander the great Bone Dragon Gelat? I am the most perfect Bone Dragon in this world, merely suffering a minor injury inflicted by vile enemies! Damn it, damn it, you must take responsibility for repairing my body, and you are not allowed to leave until it is done!"

"Jelat, has anyone ever told you that your bones are really beautiful?" He Ruozhi finally couldn't help but ask while cleaning.

The body, which was originally in a state of disarray, astonishingly reassembled itself under the influence of a mysterious force

Therefore, do not assume that a skeleton soldier is merely a simple human skeleton; in fact, even the most basic skeleton soldier is composed of at least four hundred and fifty bones

"Do not forget your identity, come quickly to help the master wash his body!" the bone dragon said arrogantly

Hahaha, Johnny, you despicable, vulgar, and shameless scum of society, meet your demise!

A sudden burst of disdainful laughter echoed from behind. The skeletal dragon, Gelat, was awake without him realizing when it had happened. Two tattered white bony wings stood upright on its back; although it could not fly, it still looked quite imposing.

Every bone must be carefully cleaned, and He Ruozhi felt as if he was about to go insane

Only that terrifying feeling of death and the piercing pain truly exist

What if Zhi imagined these maggots as the people he despises the most, and then attacked them with great vigor

At first, He Ruozhi was certainly not very satisfied, but he was soon captivated by the intricate structure of the bone dragon's body

Whenever I feel upset, I go to vent my frustrations on the giant maggot. Whether I call him Ah Q or say he only evades reality, it doesn't matter. After all, someone like He Ruozhi, who has been bullied since childhood, is a coward. If he didn't have one or two ways to adjust his mental state, he would have long since crashed his head against a wall.

Although He Ruozhi's talent is not particularly high, he has nonetheless studied mechanics for seven or eight years. His father recognized early on that the child lacked mental fortitude, so he chose mechanical maintenance as his lifelong profession, which is also He’s father's occupation.

If He Ruo Zhi feels no guilt for bullying the weak, he has been living in this damned world for over a month, and he must find something to pass the time!

However, He Ruozhi had never seen such finely crafted mechanical products

At first, He Ruozhi felt utterly miserable, but later he became accustomed to it. Now, he not only does not feel particularly strange when seeing the corpses of others, but even when he sees his own corpse, he feels rather indifferent, it doesn't matter!

Tens of thousands of bones are combined in an incredibly ingenious manner; as long as a certain part of the tail moves slightly, even the head will immediately sense it. Such exquisite functionality is impossible even for ultra-modern mechanical bodies

As for the large skeletal creature known as Gelart, its body is actually composed of twelve thousand five hundred and seventy-three bones

He reluctantly agreed, and thus began a long career of labor.

What if Zhi Lue looked at the bone dragon with a hint of dissatisfaction, yet still felt a slight fear in his heart

Ah?

Within the first two weeks of working for the Bone Dragon, He Ruozhi died a total of thirty-six times, averaging more than twice a day. There was no way around it; after all, the Bone Dragon's strength was simply too great. Sometimes, merely wanting to praise He Ruozhi with a pat on the shoulder would result in him being killed.

In the physiological structure of living organisms, in addition to the skeleton, there are muscles and tendons, and all organs must work together to perform complex movements

However... He Ruozhi frowned and said, "It seems that there is some damage to the skeletal structure of your left forelimb, which is causing the joints to rotate improperly. Additionally, there is a slight issue with your tail; the reason your tail is constantly raised should be due to this. The worst part is your wings. Ideally, your wings should enable you to fly, but those bones are all in disarray..."

It is a mechanical discipline that serves the fields of cosmic mechs and spacecraft.

These maggots may seem disgusting, but in fact, they possess no means of attack. They typically rely on digestive fluids to decompose corpses for survival, making them ideal for someone like He Ruozhi, who is utterly useless and a mere practice target.

Indeed, that industry also requires a strong mental fortitude. For instance, someone like Sha Qiang has a considerable chance of becoming a creator in the future, as long as he can cultivate a bit more imagination in his mind

It is, it is...

It was only after gradually becoming accustomed to this way of life that He Ruozhi slowly discovered the mechanical beauty hidden within the complex skeleton of the bone dragon

However, the skeleton tribe consists solely of bones. Although they are bound and guided by the fire of the soul, their bones are still much sturdier than those of ordinary creatures

Even when blood and those disgusting green fluids splattered on his face, He Ruozhi remained unfazed. It's a joke; having been here for more than a month, what would seem extremely terrifying and far beyond the psychological limits to ordinary people was merely a small case in He Ruozhi's eyes

You little brat, are you enjoying yourself here in such a lewd manner

In any case, in those intense and explosive space battle dramas on television, there are always these unassuming logistics personnel around the protagonists, responsible for repairing the advanced mechas.

"Of course," the skeletal dragon said, shaking its head, "I am the most powerful creature in this world, my skeleton is exquisitely crafted..."

Upon hearing these words, He Ruozhi, who had just been resurrected, let out a terrible scream and fainted once again.

Whenever I think of that obnoxious fellow, I feel infuriated. He Ruo Zhi could not help but slash repeatedly, turning a poor maggot into minced meat, and felt an undeniable sense of satisfaction in his heart

Should I learn skeleton martial arts by then? He Ruozhi thought to herself with satisfaction. Although she did not believe that simple martial skills had much use in the space age, learning martial arts was certainly better than being a servant all day long

On two occasions, he merely slacked off a little, leaving some not easily visible bones uncleaned, and was immediately discovered by that great monster, Gerald.

At this moment, He Ruo Zhi suddenly realized that he would not truly die in this space

Due to his lack of mental and physical strength, becoming a mechanic has become the greatest ideal profession for someone like He Ruozhi, who is considered a failure.

The evolved profession of a mechanic is that of a creator who can independently design and manufacture cosmic mechas. Each individual who becomes a creator holds a social status even higher than that of a mecha knight

At this time, He Ruozhi had already been by the Bone Dragon's side for eleven months, and it was evident that Muni was about to appear to assign the next task.

This is quite serious, the giant monster has completely fallen into a frenzied state, kicking and stomping on He Ruozhi, and even using its terrifying teeth to bite, actually tearing He Ruozhi into pieces
