"I'll be back at noon. I'll have about an hour then, so I hope that by then you all...will be ready."
Ji Xinghe had work to do. In fact, this was also his job, but the specifics of his wage hadn't been determined yet. Fending off ten attackers was his way of providing evidence to Instructor Li for a subsidy applied in the morning.
Han Li originally intended for Ji Xinghe to be a special instructor in the base, teaching the Mecha warriors close combat skills. However, Han Li underestimated Ji Xinghe's talent in Mecha repairs as well as his energy and time. Ji Xinghe wouldn't underestimate himself. He had been somewhat unconfident before, but now he believed in himself.
His self-confidence comes from Han Li, from the ten Mecha warriors he defeated, from Master Liu's affirmation, and from his efficient and successful repair of the Energy Transmission Board.
"Alright, Old Mr. Ji, rest assured, they will be ready by the time you come back at noon."
"If you could, just call me Ji."
