Rebirth: Divine Machine-Making Master - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Can I Become an Apprentice Here

Godric shouted.

That made Elrond’s face turn pale.

“You really shouted. Can you stop acting like a child?”

Godric shut his mouth instantly. That was really too f*cking painful.

When Elrond stabbed his arm with the tool with thousands of steel needles, it felt like his heart was stabbed by thousands of knives.

But Elrond’s words ignited the ferocity in him.

“Damn it, I’ve participated in all kinds of battles. How can I be such a coward and allow a young man to mock me?”

But he was already reaching his limit. His whole body twitched and trembled from the pain.

If this continued, Godric felt that he would go insane.

Elrond wasn’t idling at all. He installed the small reactor and particle collision and set up the light energy conversion settings on the mechanical arm as fast as he could.

Then, he took the mechanical arm and pressed it on Godric’s severed arm at lightning speed.

Just then, the feeling in Godric’s body abruptly changed. In a millisecond, he ascended from Hell to Heaven. Then he started to pant heavily.

“Ah— This feels so good. It feels so good that I can’t hold on any longer,” he moaned.

Mary and Zate were standing at the door looking confused. What was going on?

What did he mean when he said he couldn’t hold on any longer?

Why did his voice sound so strange?

“Quick, hurry up! I can’t hold on. I can’t hold on much longer.”

Godric kept moaning in a strange voice.

Mary’s face turned slightly red.

“What is Godric doing? Is he having a climax?”

Mary almost slapped Zate when she heard him say that.

One moment, he was shouting in pain but the next moment, he suddenly moaned like he was in Heaven. It sounded like there were a hundred beautiful, naked women serving him at the same time.

Who could stand such a sharp contrast?

Some people could endure all kinds of torture, whereas some people could not resist temptations.

When interrogating prisoners, most of them would be tortured. But that was not the best interrogation method.

The most brilliant method was to make one suffer all kinds of hardships, then offer some sweets. After that, snatch it away.

When it came to that, no matter who it was, one had to give in.

The irresistible feelings that flooded over Godric were such a sharp contrast.

After the strange moaning, he suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had an arm.

He could even feel his own touch.

Using the mechanical hand, he touched the cabinet, the door, his face, and everything else that he could see. He wanted to feel everything.

The feeling was transmitted directly to his brain, and it felt extremely realistic.

It was almost no different from a real arm because he could sense everything that his normal arm could sense.

“Oh my god!”

“How can this be? Is this for real? This is no different from a real arm.”

Ever since Godric installed this arm, he had been behaving abnormally.

Zate and Mary walked in.

“Godric, is this arm really useful?”

Zate asked and kept winking at him.

But at this moment, the excited Godric had long forgotten about the agreement he made with his good friend earlier.

“Mary, go and get a plate of peanuts. And don’t forget the chopsticks.”

“You’re really going to do that? Are you serious? Wasn’t that mechanical arm made within the stipulated time?” Mary retorted.

“Young lady, you’ve turned your back on us, haven’t you? Hurry on and get it. Or else, you can get out as well.”

Mary put on an aggrieved look as she went to get the peanuts and chopsticks. Then she placed them on the table.

“Godric, give it a try?”

He was worried that his old friend would not cooperate.

In his opinion, even if that robotic arm was perfectly compatible with the flesh, blood, and nerves, it would still take some time before it integrated perfectly for use.

As for chopsticks and peanuts, Caucasians usually don’t use this type of cutlery so they wouldn’t be able to use it very well for the first time. Moreover, Godric had to use the chopsticks with his mechanical arm.

This was a blatant attempt to make things difficult for Elrond.

Zate did not understand why he was making things difficult for the young man.

But—

After getting used to the mechanical arm, Godric picked up the chopsticks.

The touch of the chopsticks was also transmitted to his brain nerves.

How many years had it been since he had such a feeling?

For a moment, he was so excited that his eyes moistened.

Without thinking, Godric used the chopsticks to pick up a peanut. Then he placed it in his mouth and chewed.

He raised his mechanical arm again and went into a daze.

“Can you make bionic skin for this arm?” asked Godric.

“Yes, but with the bionic skin, it’d feel like you’re wearing gloves,” replied Elrond.

“Then forget it. It’s better with this realistic feeling.”

“Yay!” Mary jumped up in joy. “Grandpa, did you see that? He did it!”

“Young lady, why are you siding with the outsider?” Zate scolded her angrily.

Mary stuck out her tongue and did not say anything. She stole a peek at Elrond.

Godric calmed down and stretched out his hand. “May I know your name?”

Elrond was shocked.

He knew that this was a probe.

But Elrond wasn’t a fool. He knew that the other party found out about his identity long ago. In Wisdernia, nothing could escape Godric’s eyes.

“Elrond.”

They shook hands.

Godric said, “You are a genius. Whoever gets you to stand on their side is blessed. But whoever loses you suffers a huge loss. Do you feel that you’ve lost or gained?”

Godric posed the question to him.

Elrond smiled and said, “Of course I have gained. What I have lost is something that I do not want.”

Godric suddenly burst into laughter.

“Why are you laughing? Why do I feel like there’s a hidden meaning in your words?” Zate asked puzzledly.

“Nothing, I was just joking with Elrond.”

Saying that Godric bowed and said, “Thank you for this arm. I, Godric Jones, will never forget this kindness.”

“If there comes a day—hmm— I hope that there won’t be such a day. But if there is, I will repay your kindness,” Godric said softly.

There was a lot of meaning in those words.

Elrond was not a fool. How could he not understand what Godric meant?

At the same time, he was also elated. It was a promise that the other party made.

Zate’s eyes widened with shock when he heard what Godric said.

There were not many people in this world who received Godric’s promise.

Elrond accepted his bow.

Everything in the world was fair. He was not pretentious, and Elrond felt that he was entitled to receive this bow.

After all, he gave Godric an arm.

When they stood up, the two of them chatted like they were old friends.

Elrond looked at Zate and ask, “Mr. Zate, can I become an apprentice here now?”

“This—”

Zate felt bitter. He had an agreement with his old friend that no matter how outstanding Elrond was, he would not let him pass. Why did Godric suddenly change his mind?

No matter how Zate looked at it, it felt like an ordinary mechanical arm to him.

He had no choice but to nod his head.
