It didn't take long for Dr. Zhao to get down to business. Switching to the external repair and modification menu, he activated the selective electroplating mode. The damaged parts of Kevin's exoskeleton were gradually filled up with a special alloy deposit.

Dr. Zhao was about to begin the skin grafting and facial reconstruction again when Kevin protested.
"I don't want to look human. I don't need the artificial skin and face."
"What's this about?" Dr. Zhao asked confusedly.
