"Click!"

Su Ming immersed his mind and skillfully disassembled the mechanical components in his hands one by one.

To others, disassembling mechanical components was an extremely dull task, but to Su Ming, it had become part of his daily life for more than a decade.

It had become a part of him!

If he did not disassemble mechanical components or carve circuits, Su Ming instead felt uncomfortable everywhere.

His hands moved faster and faster. These mechanical components had all been disassembled layer by layer by him before. With just a glance, he could accurately locate the hidden openings on them.

Again and again, Su Ming never grew impatient.

Whether it was disassembling mechanical components, carving circuits, reassembling machinery, or even more profound tasks like assembling an entire machine, all the way to assembling a mech—

Every step required a great deal of mental energy to maintain focus.

It was an excellent opportunity to train his mind and concentration.

During this process, Su Ming's Brain Domain Level would also gradually improve through his focused training.

Improving one's Brain Domain Level had no shortcuts, nor could Starlight Points serve as nourishment.

It had to be accumulated and improved bit by bit. Even Suri, who had always been immersed in all kinds of excellent resources, had to honestly improve one step at a time.

Su Ming stared at the mechanical components in his hands, clearing all distracting thoughts from his mind.

He faintly felt that although he was currently doing the most basic tasks, sooner or later, these tasks would bring about a tremendous transformation in him.

And when that time came, it would probably also be the moment when he could assemble his own exclusive, most powerful mechanical equipment in the world—the mech.

Before long, the twenty mechanical components in Su Ming's hands had been successfully disassembled into a pile of mechanical parts.

Seeing Su Ming still splitting the mechanical components apart so efficiently, the dismantler beside him immediately revealed a look of worship.

"Little Master Su Ming, are you planning to repair and reassemble them as well?"

After seeing this, Monte could not help smiling as he spoke to Su Ming.

Su Ming had spent less than an hour effortlessly disassembling all twenty mechanical components.

That efficiency was four or five times faster than that of the other dismantlers!

Seeing that Su Ming had finished splitting apart all twenty mechanical components in front of him, Monte eagerly wanted to see Su Ming's repair and reassembly techniques.

Only Monte knew clearly that if the mechanical workshop he managed could keep repairing mechanical components of such high quality, the frontline soldiers would soon notice.

At that time, large numbers of soldiers would specifically request repairs from his workshop. Letting his superiors see the workshop's capabilities would be extremely helpful to his future promotion.

Therefore, to Monte, Su Ming's true value lay in repair and reassembly!

But to Monte's surprise, Su Ming shook his head and set down the mechanical components in his hands. He then spoke to Monte: "Captain Monte, I've finished today's task. After collecting my pay, I want to go browse the shops nearby!"

Although logistics planets were very different from residential planets, the people working there still needed ordinary entertainment, daily life, and consumption.

Thus, the planet naturally had shops, taverns, and even a series of facilities such as battle rooms and Internet cafés.

After being reborn into this world, Su Ming had lived in the Kellen Family residence the entire time, muddling through his days without even knowing what it was like to go out and stroll around.

He truly had never properly explored this world.

Now that he had the chance, Su Ming naturally wanted to wander around and see the differences in this world!

After collecting his pay, plus yesterday's wages, he had more than forty Star Coins.

Star Coins were the circulating currency used by human society. Even different nations could share and use Star Coins.

Although forty Star Coins was not much, that was not all the money Su Ming had.

What he had obtained from the servants previously was no small sum—there were a full two hundred thousand Star Coins.

Even an ordinary servant of the Kellen Family casually possessed two hundred thousand Star Coins. That was equivalent to two or three years of expenses for an ordinary family, demonstrating just how wealthy the Kellen Family was.

After collecting his wages, Su Ming left the mechanical workshop and headed toward the nearby commercial district.

Although this planet was a logistics mechanical-repair planet, with most of its work centered around repairing machinery for frontline soldiers,

sixty percent of the area was still used for commerce and housing.

"We're recruiting mechanical apprentices! Food and lodging provided, with a fifty-Star-Coin monthly allowance!"

"New firearms produced by Knox Technology Company! Come take a look!"

Vendors in the shops along the street were calling out loudly.

Most of the shops here, however, dealt with machinery and weapons.

At that moment, Su Ming suddenly heard a shout from a nearby shop: "The ZX-30 Leopard-type Mechanical Arm is on sale today! Buy one and get three energy bars free!"

Su Ming's expression shifted, and he immediately entered the shop.

"Boss, could you let me take a look at the mechanical arm?"

Su Ming asked directly.

The shopkeeper was a blue-skinned human, apparently not a native of the Monkeli Great Empire.

When he heard Su Ming's words, his eyes lit up. He then cheerfully took out a mechanical arm from the back.

"The ZX-30 Leopard-type Mechanical Arm is equipped with an anti-gravity system. Even when attached to your arm, it won't feel very heavy, and it's extremely agile!"

The shopkeeper cheerfully handed over the Leopard-type Mechanical Arm while explaining it with great enthusiasm.

Su Ming took the Mechanical Arm. His penetrating vision, enhanced by the system, immediately swept over it.

Every component inside instantly became an open book to Su Ming.

Clearly, this was a standardized Mechanical Arm produced by some technology company. Every part inside was filled with the mechanical feel of assembly-line production.

Although Su Ming did not particularly like this sort of assembly-line machinery, he had to admit that some of the Mechanical Arm's techniques were quite unique. For Su Ming at present, it was still very good.

Delighted by the discovery, Su Ming asked again: "What is the level range of this Mechanical Arm? Does it have a built-in anti-modification system?"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, the shopkeeper looked at him in surprise, then gave him a thumbs-up: "You're an expert! Looks like you're planning to modify this Mechanical Arm, kid?"

"This Mechanical Arm supports modification, and its level range is approximately 20–80!"

The shopkeeper spoke cheerfully.

Su Ming looked at the Mechanical Arm, liking it more and more.

"Boss, how much?"

"A fixed price: thirteen thousand Star Coins!"

"Thirteen thousand Star Coins?"

Su Ming was startled. That was not cheap. Thirteen thousand Star Coins was enough to cover several months of expenses for an ordinary family.

But that was simply how much mechanical weapons cost. Su Ming understood that the price was not outrageously inflated.

He gritted his teeth, then looked at several mechanical components on the counter and said: "How about this? I'll buy it for thirteen thousand Star Coins. Boss, could you throw in a Brain Domain Amplification Component?"

"A Brain Domain Amplification Component? Are you a Gene Warrior, kid?"

The shopkeeper was shocked.

Brain Domain Amplification Components were specially designed for Gene Warriors.

They could connect to the brain domain and use the Brain Domain Level to raise the mechanical weapon's own level.

If this Mechanical Arm's level range was 20–80, then with Su Ming's own Brain Domain Level of 25 added in, it could probably unleash a final level of 40–100 or higher.

That was equivalent to increasing its power tremendously out of thin air.

The shopkeeper looked at Su Ming, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "All right. Although I won't make much money this way, forming a good connection with you is worthwhile. Fine, I'll sell it to you for thirteen thousand Star Coins!"
