Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 8 Permanent Mechanic

The lighthearted comment aimed at Zhang Wu was nothing more than a harmless jest.

Yet, once the fun had passed, Su Yu shifted into a focused mode, addressing the real issues.

His eyes scanned Yang Lie and the gear belonging to key fighters like Zhang Wu, causing his gaze to narrow just a bit.

At this point, Su Yu's Mechanic class had advanced to level 5.

This expertise at Shelter No. 73 might not rank in the top three, but it surely placed among the top five.

Through his trained perspective, he quickly spotted that while Yang Lie's gear appeared in good condition, it carried several small flaws.

A couple of fights wouldn't pose much trouble.

However, if the use continued for too long, the entire lineup of equipment could require extensive overhauls.

This highlighted the drawback of lacking a dedicated Mechanic.

No one could dispute Yang Lie's remarkable leadership qualities.

Still, his compassionate and open-hearted nature in the wasteland also explained why Yang Lie's Team never climbed higher in the rankings.

A large share of resources that might have boosted the team's fighting strength went toward supporting former members forced out by injuries.

That said, such choices weren't entirely without advantages.

In contrast to the constant infighting and clashes plaguing other hunter groups in the Sanctuary.

Yang Lie's Team enjoyed a reputation for solid cohesion.

Yet, depending only on that bond clearly fell short of convincing any Mechanic in the Sanctuary—aside from Su Yu's former teacher—to commit as the team's full-time specialist.

Nevertheless, Su Yu had now matured into the role.

As a beneficiary of Yang Lie's upright ways, which had enabled him to reach the Sanctuary and thrive in those early days.

Su Yu figured he might not match Yang Lie's depth of kindness amid the ruins, but that didn't stop him from respecting this big-hearted man and offering aid wherever possible.

"Uncle Yang Lie, isn't your upcoming hunt set for seven days from now? Would you mind pushing it back by an extra three days?"

Su Yu massaged his cheeks, drew in a steadying breath, and delivered the words with a grin.

"Push it back three days? Su, got something brewing?"

Yang Lie paused briefly at Su Yu's query before catching on, his expression brightening with excitement!

The others, including Zhang Wu and fellow elite members, also opened their eyes wide in hopeful anticipation.

Noticing their keen interest, Su Yu gave a confirming nod and a warm smile, adding, "Yeah, I've got plans. Hang around a bit longer, Uncle Yang and Brother Zhang Wu. I'd like to take your measurements for height and weight, then work on fixing and enhancing your gear over the next few days."

"Whew..."

Upon hearing Su Yu's positive reply.

Yang Lie and his companions noticeably brightened up!

Personalized gear!

For hunter squads and explorers in the ruins, this counted as a rare treat, one that could sharply boost their chances of enduring the wasteland!

And for Yang Lie's Team, ever since Su Yu's instructor had departed, keeping up with upgrades to their specialized tools—not to mention routine fixes—had become a real struggle!

"Excellent, we'll stick around those extra three days!"

...

An hour afterward.

With the optimistic crew from Yang Lie's Team heading out, Su Yu's attention swung back to his workshop.

He'd gathered not just the vital stats from the team but also held onto their worn gear.

The notion of building custom gear went beyond simply returning the faith Yang Lie's Team had shown him.

Su Yu pursued his own goals too.

The pair of crates filled with scrap machinery that Uncle Yang Lie had delivered, despite their volume, mostly consisted of low-quality items, scarce on even basic mechanical builds.

Repairing every single one might still fall short of providing enough experience to elevate his class level once more.

However, the custom gear assigned to Yang Lie's Team's main fighters started at basic quality at minimum.

A few even featured intermediate-grade pieces.

Setting aside any enhancements or modifications.

Just the basic fixes, repairs, and care for these would deliver far more experience points than Su Yu could earn from tinkering with a dozen junk parts from those two crates of mechanical debris.

"Alright, time to dive into the real action! Nuonuo, lend me a hand here!"

Su Yu clapped his hands eagerly, eyeing the spread of tools and arms before him, and summoned Nuonuo to assist.

Right at that moment, an unknown voice drifted in from beyond the workshop door, carrying a tone that wasn't particularly warm.

"Brother Su, your abilities have been progressing rapidly lately!"

"Got any tips you'd share with me?"

Su Yu glanced up to find a bald youngster in a leather coat, paired with somewhat grimy jeans, exuding a rugged air.

Yet, his flushed face and robust tone warned Su Yu against taking him lightly.

In this harsh world, even Sanctuary dwellers below the seventy percent mark scraped by just above bare survival.

Without awakening his class interface and gaining physique boosts per level-up, Su Yu's own form would have leaned toward frail and delicate.

A vigorous build like this bald man's already signaled wealth and influence.

"We haven't met before, have we? Looking to get something fixed, sir?"

"Fixing request? Absolutely, I've got one for you."

The bald man smirked faintly, stepped inside the workshop, and boldly draped himself over the counter piled with Su Yu's gear, propping his torso there while peering down at Su Yu, who sat behind the counter and bench: "I go by Li Yao; surely you've come across that name. My brother spoke of you, mentioning how you've handled plenty of admin office jobs lately and excelled at them. They commended how your output spiked even during illness and suggested I pick up pointers from you."

Li Yao continued, tilting his chin up a touch as he eyed Su Yu: "That's why I'm here, extending an invite from my brother. Give the okay, and from this evening on, you'll serve as the third dedicated Mechanic for the Night Slayer Team, alongside me and Old Mo."

"Li Yao, Night Slayer Team?"

Those two names struck a chord.

Su Yu's gaze flickered with understanding, and he regarded the man before him with heightened caution!

Su Yu had picked up details from the admin office and Yang Lie about the Night Slayer Team's recent growth spurt.

As hunt sizes expanded, the Night Slayer Team's need for Mechanics grew accordingly, with Old Mo being one strong-armed into the fold by Night Slayer.

Su Yu realized his rising skills and buzz in the Sanctuary could draw Night Slayer's interest, though he hadn't anticipated it arriving quite so soon.

"Signing on with Night Slayer wouldn't be ideal..." Su Yu mused inwardly.

The Night Slayer Team held the third spot among Sanctuary hunter groups.

Boasting over fifty total members and exceeding thirty fixed fighters, half of them Transcendents, they outmatched Yang Lie's Team in both size and caliber by a wide margin!

Keep in mind, Yang Lie's Team, support roles included, numbered under twenty!

Furthermore, Night Slayer Team's leader, Li He, stood as a Spirit-type Transcendent whose Spiritual Level hit the pinnacle of three stars.

Spirit-type Transcendents' power surpassed that of body-based ones, making Li He's three-star peak prowess match a four-star mid-tier physical Transcendent.

Meanwhile, Yang Lie's Team counted only Yang Lie, Zhang Wu, and Li Yue as Transcendents in their core trio, each at a mere one-star Spiritual Level!
