Although Tee was one of the best at diagnostics, Wang Tong could finish the job much faster than her. It would take Tee at least five minutes to come up with a conclusion, but Wang Tong needed only a few seconds, and he would know exactly what had gone wrong.

Tee picked up a piece of METAL that Wang Tong had just dropped and asked curiously, ”Can you tell me what is wrong with this one?”

Wang Tong scanned the METAL and replied without hesitation, ”There are eight damaged parts. The worst is at its energy crystal, and then the...”

After hearing Wang Tong's diagnosis, Tee's eyes were green with envy. It had taken her over ten minutes to come up with the same diagnosis, but it only took Wang Tong less than two minutes.

As Tee was steeped in envy and amazement, Zuoyan and other coworkers walked into the room. Tee gathered herself and announced, ”We have lots to do today, so we will team up. Zuoyan, you will help Wang Tong. Qianfen and Locks, you two will follow me.”

”Yes, captain!”

Zuoyan scurried to Wang Tong and said, ”Let me know what you want. I am so glad that I can learn from you!”

”Oh, you... haha! I have a lot to learn as well. Here, I have already gone over these pieces. Why don't you help me make a list of parts that we need?”

”I'm on it right away!”

After Zuoyan took out a notepad and a pen, Wang Tong repeated the parts that each of the METAL required. The long list went on and on, and everyone listened as they fell in awe of Wang Tong's amazing memory.

How could he remember the parts for each and every one of the METAL suits without error?

Although Wang Tong's coworkers had witnessed a miracle yesterday, they still worried that the youngster might slip up and make a small but costly mistake.

”Captain, do you think we should double check his work?” Qianfen asked. As a seasoned technician, he was well aware that the devils were in the details.

”No need.” Tee shook her head. She knew Wang Tong was a competent mechanic, and he was able to remember all the parts without any mistake. To many people, the difference between each METAL was seemingly indiscernible. However, to Wang Tong, each piece was unique.

After Zuoyan had finished making a list, Wang Tong announced, ”Let's start!”

Zuoyan's face was lit up with glee. After having witnessed Wang Tong's skills, the scene of Wang Tong repairing the METAL gripped his mind for the entire night. He couldn't wait to see his skills again.

Wang Tong was quickly absorbed in his work, making a few adjustments here and there. Zuoyan also started to learn the cues and knew the exact time to hand in the correct parts or tools. Thanks to the excellent teamwork, they were able to increase their efficiency vastly.

Soon, Wang Tong noticed that regardless of the type of damages the METAL had received, as long as he used his soul essence to initiate the repair, the rest of the work became very easy. The more METAL he got his hands on, the more he learned about the internal composition of this sophisticated equipment.

As Wang Tong sped up his repair, Zuoyan quickly fell behind. Tee assigned two extra technicians to Wang Tong to keep up with him.

Cheers erupted inside the maintenance room as Wang Tong finished repairing the last piece of METAL. By then, it was already dark outside. Wang Tong and his team had finished one week worth of work in just one day.

Wang Tong wiped the sweat off his forehead. It was hard work, but was worth it. They had worked through the day, and no one paused to take a break. They had learned a lot from Wang Tong, not only his techniques, but also his innovative way of thinking. They started to think outside the box, and were no longer afraid of bending the rules in conventional repairing methods.

Tee watched Wang Tong with an approving smile. The rumors were true, the heir of the Blade Warrior was a genius.

However, she refrained from giving Wang Tong too many compliments, since whether these repaired METAL were up to the mark was yet to be seen. The only way to test them was to put them to use.

”Well done, everyone! Wang Tong, you did a good job. Zuoyan, please send these METAL to Lao Jiu. ”
