The mechanic workshop of this place was called Optic Mech, a fine and sophisticated store name.
After all, Shi Tian would have never thought the outer zone could possibly have such high tech and management available. His first impression was completely ruined by the campsite and the Hush's Workshop.
Thus, his expectations were completely low, so he was dazzled by the place.
Everything might seem hectic at first glance, but upon closer inspection, Shi Tian realized that everything was organized, a far cry from the Hush's Workshop.
There were dedicated mechanics that focused on repairing or building mechanical parts, and there were people that were dedicated to servicing the customers for their needs and requests.
One might be overwhelmed at first glance, but there was a large hologram transparent screen that explained the Optic Mech operations in simple terms. Even if one was illiterate, the picture alone on the screen should be self-explanatory as well.
And given that Shi Tian was here to fix his right arm, his option was to search for the customs parts and modification area.
The modification area would be the place where he would get his measurement, and custom parts would be the place where he would request for the right arm to be made.
Just when Shi Tian was about to make his way toward that area, a uniformed person walked forward and asked, "Hello, sir, are you in need of assistance?"
Turning around, Shi Tian noticed the uniformed person was a woman with short black hair, who had a gentle and polite smile on her face that showed her amicable attitude toward customers.
"No thank you, I'm fine." Shi Tian shook his head and said calmly, replying politely.
"I see… My name is Phoebe, and if you ever need some assistance or are confused about something, you are free to come to me." Phoebe revealed her name tag attached to her chest and introduced herself before leaving to assist another customer.
It was clear that she was trying to help customers that seemed to be searching for direction.
Shi Tian was dumbfounded at first since he was used to being ignored most of the time. Given his shabby clothes, he didn't expect someone would still bother to ask if he needed any assistance.
Although it could be just Phoebe wanting some bonuses for assisting customers, it was still much better than Hush's Workshop in Shi Tian's mind.
A few seconds later, Shi Tian stopped brooding his mind over something like that and instead went to the upper floor where the modification area was located.
The elevator was quite quick and in less than 30 seconds, Shi Tian arrived at the fifth floor, and what greeted him quickly was a receptionist behind the counter.
"Hello, have you made a reservation?" The receptionist asked.
"Um, no, I was recommended here by a friend, so I came to check it out." Shi Tian responded.
"I see, can I have your name so then I can make a booking for you."
"I'm Nathan," Shi Tian answered, giving a false name.
Since the beginning, he had never revealed his name to anyone, including Krissie.
The name 'Shi Tian' should have long been gone, and if anyone was to hear his real name and was able to connect it to the lab experiment of the past, then the troubles that follow would be incalculable.
The receptionist didn't pay attention to whether or not Shi Tian had given her a fake name. Her duty was merely to jot down the name on the list and call for them when it was their turn.
"Okay, Nathan, your name has been listed and currently Mechanist Isaac Aaronax is working on a commission, so it might take some time for you. Do you wish to leave your phone number and then I'll call you when it's your turn?" The receptionist asked calmly.
Shi Tian pondered for a moment before deciding it was best to not give her a phone number.
Currently, the device he was using is from Yolanda, meaning if he used her phone number and it gets detected by someone else, then chances are, he would have dug a hole for himself to fall into.
"How long until Mechanist Isaac Aaronax will be done with his commission?" Shi Tian instead asked, getting an estimated time or a specific time to be precise.
"Let's see, Mechanist Isaac Aaronax is working on some modification of mechanical equipment for the customer, and with his usual work rate, it should be around 1-2 hours from now." The receptionist answered, giving him a somewhat analysis of what Isaac would be working on.
Shi Tian nodded his head.
"Very well, I'll be back in 1-2 hours or so."
"Sure, you can place the down payment of 200 Eons first. This is to prevent any loss from our side in case the customer decided to not show up, but clogged up the work schedule."
What the receptionist said was reasonable since they couldn't afford to book a person, and the person suddenly decided to vanish, resulting in their loss of business and most importantly, time.
Thus, Shi Tian retrieved 200 Eons without hesitation and paid the receptionist rather quickly.
The receptionist counted the 200 Eons, and once she confirmed the payment, she gave a small token to Shi Tian.
"This is a small token of verification. So when you come back, you can simply hand the small token back to me, Nathan." The receptionist kindly explained the usage of the small token. The small token was a bit hollow and round, with the Optic Mech symbol stamped on it.
"Thank you," Shi Tian calmly stored the small token in his pocket and gave his thanks.
Afterward, he proceeded to enter the elevator. Pressing the 1st-floor button on the elevator, Shi Tian was going to leave Optic Mech for the time being.
Interacting with people in Gearits City so far, he realized there are some essential things that he should have if he planned on staying here for a while.
'I should find a device similar to Yolanda and use it in public.' Shi Tian thought to himself.
