Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

```

Watching the two research scientists panicking, Bai E quietly moved to the side.

The damaged mainframes blinking with red lights were more than one, he could definitely try his hand on others.

Professional maintenance tools were stored in concealed compartments along the edges of the mainframe hall; with the central power supply gone, those compartment doors had automatically opened, ready for the taking.

Bai E didn't hesitate to pick up a toolbox and headed toward a push ladder on the side.

The tense and chaotic battlefield was unfolding not far away, so the sound of Bai E pushing the maintenance ladder from the corner went unnoticed.

"Wuuuuuu~"

The wheels made a steady friction sound on the smooth floor.

Stop, engage the brake, climb up...

[Computer Hardware Maintenance (Gold Technology Edition) (Level 2): You are familiar with all the functions of computer hardware, you can keenly troubleshoot all potential hardware-related faults, and proficiently dismantle and assemble all related electronic components, while having some repair abilities.]

The instinct given by his knowledge made Bai E's eyes unconsciously scan the blinking red lights on the mainframe, and thus the intricate details of the internal structure appeared in his mind like an exploded engineering blueprint.

The problematic components were starkly red amid the plain black and white lines of other parts.

"Click~"

He pulled out one of the damaged components like a drawer, placed it on the ladder beneath his feet, and opened the maintenance toolkit.

"Sss~" The sound of something sliding close to the ground approached from afar.

The soldier, clutching his chest in pain as if it were shattered, took a long while to recover before dumbly following the push ladder with his gaze upward...

"B...27?" The soldier, struggling to voice his confusion, was incredulous.

What are you doing here?

The BOSS you drew here!

The action you decided on!

Everyone else is desperately holding back to buy time for Minister Likok and the others, and you're sneaking around doing nothing?

Stay updated through empire

Repair? Do you even understand how to?

Didn't you see Minister Likok and his assistant Miss Aryan there, frantic as ants on a hot pan, and you...

Bai E tilted his head back to look at the path the soldier had taken to slide over and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow! Pretty lucky, huh~"

Didn't collide with a mainframe, took the damage all by himself, pretty good...

"You..."

The soldier felt as if his already shattered chest had been stabbed with a dozen knives, "What are you doing here?"

He was the one who intricately operated drones, an information soldier; Bai E's previous performance was indeed convincing, but this was his field of expertise... among the soldiers.

Among the soldiers, he was the most technically skilled, and among the technically skilled, he was the best fighter.

Even he, a technician with specialized knowledge, had gone to fight desperately to give the minister time, yet you, an external member, are still slacking off?

"Repairing..."

"You repair..."

"Click~" The reinserted component's indicator light flickered, and after a few flashes, the grim green self-check light illuminated...

[You have completed a session of computer hardware maintenance, Computer Hardware Maintenance experience +8.]

"...6"

The glowing green light cast on Bai E's face, making him look like a revered specter emerging from the shadows.

"Gulp~" The technical soldier swallowed, aggravating his chest wound, "Hiss~ it hurts, it hurts..."

"Tat tat tat..."

Bai E's footsteps were light as he quickly moved to the mainframe that Minister Likok was trying to work on next door; modern technology, handed down from ancient times, follows a continuous lineage, and even with changes, the essence does not stray from its roots.

```

The foundation remains unchanged; it's just a matter of level differences. With some research, understanding is still within reach.

It just requires time.

And time is precisely what everyone is currently running short of.

After personally conducting some experimental attempts, Bai E dared to offer some pointers in front of Minister Likok.

"Do you think starting from here would work? Right here..."

Faced with the sudden approach of a hand from the side, the already impatient Minister Likok subconsciously wanted to swat it away, but the suggestion made a subconscious twist in his mind, "Right here..."

It seems like it could actually work?

"And over here..." As Minister Likok proceeded with his inspection, Bai E pointed things out from the side.

As a player, learning from an NPC is quite convenient. However, it seems a big challenge for an NPC to learn from a player or another NPC.

Ultimately, relying solely on one's own strength is too slow. It would be best if the minister and Miss Aryan could become familiar with this ancient computer hardware, to speed up the repair process.

After all... in the dimly lit mainframe hall, there are quite a few red lights lit up.

"Oh right." Remembering there was another labor source, Bai E casually jogged over and yanked him up from the ground while Minister Likok was still pondering the advice, "If you're not dead, come over and learn something."

The technician, whose chest felt as though it was being torn apart, gasped sharply in pain, "Hiss~ Bro... my chest still hurts."

"Oh~" Bai E clapped him on the back, and the bones that were slightly misaligned instantly snapped back into place.

[You have performed first aid, accelerating the healing of the target's wounds, first aid experience +0. (Your current level of knowledge has reached its limit.)]

"???"

"???"

The technician, still clutching his chest, suddenly stared in disbelief; the pain in his chest that had felt like a tear was gone in an instant... Well, it's not entirely gone, but the pain wasn't complete.

The key was that there seemed to be streams of warm currents spreading from all over his body, converging at his chest, echoing, and rapidly restoring the body's injuries, "You..."

"No need to thank me."

"If you had this ability, why didn't you save me earlier? I've been in pain for so long!"

"...I'm busy."

Those scholarly abilities seemed like magic under the guise of science, and the technological path of this era was completely different from that of commonly understood technology.

The main thing is... Bai E had genuinely forgotten.

"Quit the chatter and come over to learn."

This guy was one of the most aggressive during the reinforcement rush earlier. I mean, what's with a technician always getting up close for melee combat with tough guys?

Back at Minister Likok's side, Bai E continued to point things out as figures sent flying by the "ancient mightiest warrior" scattered across the sky.

The situation is indeed urgent, but one must still maintain composure.

...

"I've got it!" Minister Likok exclaimed, a face full of excitement.

"I've got it too!" Miss Aryan's face lit up with vigor.

"Bro, teach me again..." The technician's eyes were filled with confusion.

Bai E didn't pay attention to him and just said solemnly, "Split up and take action, prioritize repairing the node mainframes."

"Okay!"

"No problem!"

"Bro..."

"You, come with me..."
