Half a day later.

Within the workshop, Su Yu released a deep sigh, his eyes fixed on the duo of weapons right before him.

He had managed to restore the Chain Saw to near perfection already.

While certain extra capabilities existed, like igniting the blade's fury in dire situations to boost slicing velocity at the expense of the engine's integrity—such features remained beyond Su Yu's ability to replicate.

Every standard operation of this Chain Saw had been thoroughly revived under Su Yu's hands.

Regarding the Double-Range Shotgun, further efforts were still required.

Su Yu had indeed managed to recreate the essential switching system for the Silver Deer Shotgun's distances,

yet whether due to subpar substitute components or his own techniques falling short, in the end, the remade Silver Deer Shotgun's close range reached merely thirty meters, with the far range scarcely exceeding fifty meters.

Nevertheless, in exchange for this diminished reach,

the firearm's destructive power saw a dramatic surge.

Su Yu examined the system's intricate assessment of the repairs.

[Post-repair...]

“It got fixed successfully, at the very least, huh?”

Su Yu rubbed his head, muttering to himself with assurance.

After all, his goal in mending these two weapons was to accumulate experience, and with that achieved, satisfaction filled him.

Since Su Yu had successfully fixed both weapons,

the well-known sensation of advancement washed over him once more.

Yet on this occasion, the boost to his learning faculties—such as recall and understanding—wasn't quite as intense, and the physical upgrades weren't as profound as during his initial profession acquisition.

Still, it continued to diminish the dead flesh on Su Yu's right arm from the radiation affliction.

Judging by this pace, it appeared

“By level seven at the latest, I’ll fully eradicate this radiation sickness via the bodily enhancements from rising levels!”

Su Yu tightened his fists a bit, his gaze brimming with eager hope!

“Nuonuo, set the fixed guns on the display, and transport these two there too. The hunting squad could arrive tomorrow to pick up their mended firearms.”

“Understood.”

Docilely, Nuonuo approached, meticulously arranging each restored gun in position.

Su Yu glanced out at the heavens, now shrouded entirely in a heavy gray pallor. It was merely seven in the evening, and in his original hometown—even in the village—folks wouldn’t retire so soon, yet within the Sanctuary, darkness had fully descended.

Su Yu performed no unusual actions, merely letting out a soft sigh before heading back to the sleeping quarters to ready himself for rest.

Prior to slumber, he cast a look at the nightstand.

Resting there silently was an Electric Sniper Rifle.

The Electric Sniper Rifle appeared remarkably pristine.

But Su Yu was aware that this freshness stemmed from the regular, meticulous upkeep he and his teacher had lavished upon it over the years.

In truth,

numerous vital parts within the sniper rifle,

including the Power Core, Capacitor Magazine, and more, had fallen into serious decay.

Nonetheless, it stood as the most cherished item belonging to Su Yu’s mentor in this realm.

The benevolent elder, who devoted his whole existence without ever venturing beyond the Sanctuary, drew his yearning for the cosmos and stars from a handful of tattered promotional periodicals recounting the splendid era of the Human Empire amid the Great Expedition ten millennia past.

Even in his final moments, the aged man hadn’t ceased reminding Su Yu to endeavor to depart this Ruins Star someday, to behold with his own eyes if the universe and star systems matched the grandeur depicted in those journals.

While Su Yu held deep gratitude for the old man’s instruction and mentorship, he had always felt helpless against fulfilling that ambition.

Owing to ancient conflicts and the state of the Ruins Star, the heirs of those survivors had long forfeited the splendors of bygone technological heights.

Furthermore, from Su Yu’s recollections, the Ruins Star bore a strangely cyclic tale. Each time a ruling power ascended to its zenith, it would abruptly dissipate in mere moments.

Although Su Yu lacked full knowledge of the Ruins Star’s chronicles, he recognized that it had utterly erased its heritage as part of the Human Empire and squandered its once-held advancements.

Venturing into the void remained nothing but a pipe dream.

Yet presently, Su Yu sensed that it transcended mere fantasy.

His sight settled upon the Electric Sniper Rifle bequeathed by the elder.

As Su Yu concentrated, a string of details emerged.

[Shadow Type-3 Energy Sniper Rifle]

[Current Status: Severely Damaged]

[Repair Possibility: Possible (current repair possibility less than 0.1%)]

[Level: Exceptional (Mechanical Creations ranked from low to high: Simple, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Special, Exceptional...)]

[Note: In the process of repairing or recovering Exceptional Mechanical Creations, a Mechanic may trigger inspiration with a chance to receive a random reward, including but not limited to a large amount of professional experience, random skills, random Exceptional Mechanical Blueprints...]

“A random Exceptional Mechanical Blueprint!”

Even if uncertain whether the Exceptional Mechanical Blueprint might randomly produce a Spacecraft-related design,

this annotation at least sparked a spark of optimism in Su Yu!

Moreover, it wasn’t solely for honoring his mentor’s dying wish,

but for his own sake as well,

Su Yu yearned to escape this place.

Existing on this Ruins Star, plagued by radiation and dust, meant that aside from those gifted with Extraordinary Ability, regular folk often deemed reaching thirty a ripe old age.

Even inside the Sanctuary, hitting fifty marked advanced seniority.

The elder Su Yu mentioned had passed at just fifty-one or fifty-two, yet bore the wrinkles and frailty of a seventy- or eighty-year-old from Su Yu’s village origins.

Tenderly caressing the Shadow Sniper Rifle he held,

Su Yu drew in a profound breath, drew the blankets over, and slipped into repose until dawn.

Awakening from his rest, Su Yu promptly moved to the full-length mirror.

As expected, following the dual boosts, the corroded zones had receded further, with the affliction’s signs reemerging yet again.

Still, this advance proved far, far more gradual than previously.

“Going at this speed, even without additional levels, I can delay the total decay of my right arm for no less than five months!”

At last, dodging the direst outcome,

Su Yu exhaled in relief and swung open the door to the repair area, only to catch a coarse voice approaching.

“Su lad, I rushed here the moment I learned of your radiation sickness infection. How’s your condition now? Feeling improved?”

The voice declared, and right away, a robust, bearish middle-aged figure, towering close to two meters, forced his way through the shop’s entrance, eyeing Su Yu with profound worry!
