Aoba walked up behind Sasori. "What do you need me to do?"
Sasori pointed to a pile of materials beside the table. "Sort and organize these materials according to the requirements on the list, then bring them over to the processing bench."
Following Sasori's gesture, Aoba saw a huge pile of assorted materials beside the table: chakra ore, metal fragments, demon beast bones, and more.
A list lay nearby, detailing the sorting requirements for each type of material.
"Alright."
Aoba nodded, picked up the list, and began sorting the materials.
Most of the materials were heavy, and some had sharp edges, making them difficult to organize.
Several cuts soon appeared on Aoba's hands, but he paid them no mind and remained focused on his work.
Sasori occasionally looked up at Aoba. Seeing how seriously he worked, a faint, imperceptible trace of approval flickered in his eyes before quickly disappearing.
He continued studying the Core of Rebirth, his fingers constantly moving over its surface as though he were pondering something.
Time slowly passed, and the sky gradually brightened.
Aoba finally finished sorting all the materials and brought them to the processing bench.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said, "Lord Sasori, the materials have been sorted."
Sasori nodded without speaking and continued studying the Core of Rebirth.
Aoba stood off to the side, not daring to disturb him. He could only silently observe everything in the laboratory.
He noticed that although the laboratory was simple, its equipment was remarkably advanced. Much of it was completely unfamiliar to him.
After a while, Sasori finally stopped what he was doing, turned to Aoba, and said, "Next, help me record the data.
"I'll be debugging the Core of Rebirth. Accurately record the data from every debugging attempt. There can't be a single mistake."
