Shi Tian was wiping off his sweat and gave his permission to let Mary check on the content within the box. Given that Mary was an assistant of Isaac Aaronax and seed to have a close relationship, he wasn't afraid of her trying sothing funny.
And with permission granted, Mary smoothly opened the box and began to inspect the content.
Within the box, she saw a soldering iron, so chanical parts most likely for soldering, and a blueprint.
'This is…' Holding the blueprint, Mary was astonished to see it was a blueprint for the Light Beam manufacturing process.
It was clear that she wasn't expecting to discover such a blueprint to be stored in such a box.
A few seconds later, she flashed a smile and looked at him, "Seems like chanist Isaac Aaronax holds you in high regard, Nathan."
She didn't suspect Shi Tian was stealing the blueprint and knew it was sothing granted by Isaac Aaronax.
Shi Tian nodded his head.
"Master Isaac does teach a lot of things. And he was planning to assign to head toward the wilderness to practice in a few days." He calmly revealed.
"Is there anything else you want to inspect in the box?"
Mary was about to shake her head but noticed a shiny object glowing in the corner of the box. Confused, she moved aside the equipnt and her expression changed for the worse.
"Hah, no wonder why you were even struggling to carry the box. That chanist Isaac Aaronax is back to his old trick." Mary lanted and took the glowing object out of the box.
The object was rectangular shaped and colored in black, but was sowhat shiny, illuminating a dim light.
"Do you know what this is?" She then asked Shi Tian.
Shi Tian shook his head.
"I'm not sure what it is, Mary." It was also his first ti seeing such a strange object. He thought it was just so chanical parts that required soldering as well but seeing Mary's astonished look and comnt, it seed to be signifying sothing else instead.
"Sigh, this is a tallic Stone, and depending on how you hold it, the weight would intensify," Mary explained.
"So it was this tiny object that caused the box to weigh so heavily?" Shi Tian was dumbfounded.
Who could have predicted such a tiny object was able to magnify the weight of an object?
"Here, you can try holding it," Mary said, placing the tallic Stone on him gently.
And the mont she released her hand, Shi Tian felt as if a heavy boulder was stomping on him. Luckily, he was already ntally prepared for the heavyweight thanks to her explanation. Otherwise, he would have collapsed from the sudden weight imposed on him.
"Why would Master Isaac place the tallic Stone in the box? Was he trying to play a prank on ?" Shi Tian asked her. Since Mary was able to tell sothing was amiss by a small glance, he was truly looking at her for an answer.
"No, I doubt he was trying to play a prank on you, but was trying to train you instead. The tallic Stone might seem like a chore, but it is a great training thod to improve one's strength and stamina." Mary shook her head and explained.
"Improve one's strength and stamina?"
"Mhmm, the tallic Stone is sowhat of a rare item, to be honest, and the weight it imposed on you could be adjusted. By always carrying it, you would feel like carrying a heavy burden constantly, but once removed, you would then get an imaginary feeling of receiving a powerful boost."
"I see…" Shi Tian mumbled, holding on to the tallic Stone tightly.
What she basically ant was that this tallic Stone was capable of making you carry a ton of weight as a form of training. And that when you remove it, your body would feel lightweight, giving a false sense of having your strength increased when in fact, it was the result of the training.
"Wait a minute, if this is supposed to be beneficial for , why did Master Isaac secretly place it in the box instead of explaining it to directly?" Shi Tian asked confusingly.
"Because that's his style. Back then, I was fooled into carrying the tallic Stone unknowingly and thought I was just being weak." Mary smiled bitterly in response.
"Hah, so you were a victim of his prank as well." Shi Tian chuckled in defeat, sympathizing with Mary. Both of them were victims, so naturally, they could sowhat understand each other.
To be honest, Shi Tian really thought he had beco weak when he couldn't even carry the box. But then that wasn't the truth, and it was because of Isaac Aaronax's sneaky conduct in placing a tallic Stone.
"Anyway, it's good to carry this often on your body to train. Even I had to do this for 5 years before stopping." Mary patted his shoulders and said, wishing him good luck.
"Thanks, I shall heed your advice." Shi Tian stored the tallic Stone in his pocket, feeling the weight upon him start amplifying.
He then slowly knelt on the ground and lifted up the box, carrying it and walking away.
"Do you need to press the elevator for you?"
"Yes, please…"
Mary giggled softly when she saw his struggle. Assisting him with opening the elevator and pressing the floor button, she gave him a thumbs up.
"Good luck with your training, Nathan."
"Thank you."
With the elevator door closed, Mary's smile soon vanished and was replaced with a solemn expression.
She subsequently went to her desk and pressed a button, temporarily shutting down the business, and dashed toward Isaac Aaronax's workshop.
"Why did you give him the tallic Stone?" She asked the mont she arrived.
"Heh, I knew you would have sensed it, but didn't expect you to find out that quickly." Isaac Aaronax chuckled, not bothered by the fact that he was exposed.
"Nathan is going to be our decoy, so naturally, I need him to have so self-defense ans. The tallic Stone is the perfect item since it can assist him in training, but also protect him in case of danger."
