Chapter 51

Zheng Xiaotian was in a headache. The enemy was nowhere to be seen. If he went out, Lin Ziyuan would be completely exposed to the bullets. He wasn't afraid of the bullets with his armor, but what about Lin Ziyuan? The tracking missiles were used up, and the bullets were almost gone. He couldn't leave her side, which meant they were cornered.

"If it really doesn't work, you should run. Don't worry about me," Lin Ziyuan said.

"No way!" Zheng Xiaotian firmly shook his head in refusal.

"The third穿越 (time travel) is about to begin. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"What?" Zheng Xiaotian was stunned. He had forgotten that each time travel only had a one-month break, not forever. Today was payday, but it was also the day of time travel.

With Lin Ziyuan not yet in a safe place, time travel?

Zheng Xiaotian wanted to protest, at least to delay it by ten or eight minutes. But the system was the system; it wouldn't budge. If he stayed in the time travel for a short time, he would return instantly. Perhaps, he could even bring back some heavy weapons. If he stayed for a long time, Lin Ziyuan would likely be in grave danger.

"Five, four, three!"

Zheng Xiaotian casually tore a piece of metal from the window and held it in front of him. Then, the space distorted, and his figure, armor, and everything disappeared from the room.

"Transformers world. No specific mission requirements. You will be evacuated when it's time. The mission's bottom line is not to fight Optimus Prime!"

Zheng Xiaotian was bewildered by these words. What kind of rhythm was this? No requirements, no bottom line, how was he supposed to complete the mission? How was he supposed to get out of this mess? Damn, was this a joke?

Zheng Xiaotian's vision went dark, and when it brightened again, he found himself in a small alley. At the alley's entrance, a blonde man was smoking and tapping his foot, looking incredibly relaxed.

"I don't know what to do next," Zheng Xiaotian scratched the back of his head. If there was a direction, at least he wouldn't feel lost. Now, he had no direction. The missions were getting stranger and harder.

Zheng Xiaotian slowly walked to the alley's entrance.

"Hey, you're not going to rob me, are you?" Sam looked at the armored figure in front of him and joked. Clearly, this wasn't a Transformer, as Transformers didn't come in this medium size. They were either as tall as a three-story building or as small as a poodle.

However, because Sam was well-informed, he wasn't surprised by Zheng Xiaotian's armor. To put it another way, even if Zheng Xiaotian walked around the street, no one would be shocked.

"Don't joke around. If I really get into trouble and end up in jail, you'll be the one to blame," Zheng Xiaotian said.

"For some reason, I'm interested in getting to know you. Hi, I'm Sam," Sam extended his hand.

"Samoyed's Samoyed?" Zheng Xiaotian extended his hand, voicing his doubt.

"Alright, I'm tired of this misleading surname. You can call me by my first name, Duxinzheng," Sam said.

"Duxinzheng..." Zheng Xiaotian thought, this name was even worse than Samoyed, at least Samoyed sounded like a famous dog.

Sam, Sam, go! Wasn't he the main character in the movie? Zheng Xiaotian suddenly remembered. He really hated this system. It didn't even give him a heads-up about the next time travel, leaving him unprepared. He only remembered that the most powerful one was Qin Tianzhu, and following him was the right choice.

Swoosh!

A bird flew in the sky, chasing after something. It was a transforming bird, and it was heading straight for Duxinzheng.

Zheng Xiaotian sensed the danger from behind, turned his head, and took a look. The bird was definitely bigger than him. In the Iron Man world, only Tony and his brother had such armor, but here, it was completely inadequate.

Zheng Xiaotian clenched his right fist, and the power system on his body activated.

Bang!

Zheng Xiaotian's fist hit the transforming bird's head, and with a flip, he landed on its back. Then, he activated the power system on both hands and pressed the bird to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang, crash!

The bird's wings flapped, and rocks flew in all directions. Zheng Xiaotian's armor energy was rapidly depleting, but the strong impact force kept the bird from moving.

"Take it down, energy block, energy block!" Duxinzheng shouted, pointing at the bird's core.

Zheng Xiaotian's eyes lit up. Yes, he remembered that even the invincible robots had a weakness. The energy block was their soul, their heart, their greatest weakness.

Zheng Xiaotian raised his right hand, increased the power of the energy system, and with lightning speed, grabbed the bird's core. It felt like stealing a peach, and he blushed. He thought, if his parents knew he did this to a transforming bird, they might think he had a problem.

"Sense new energy, absorb it?" the butler asked Zheng Xiaotian. "Your energy is already down to ten percent. If you choose not to absorb, in one minute, you won't be able to summon your armor or walk with it. If you choose to absorb, there's a risk. The energy is pure, but unknown."

Zheng Xiaotian's hand was now in the energy block. The choice to absorb or not was in front of him.

"Absorb!" Zheng Xiaotian remembered Barbie's words: the bold survive, the timid die. He would rather be the one who survived than the one who died.

The energy was absorbed into his armor and circulated throughout his body. The feeling of the armor was similar to his cultivation. The energy of heaven and earth circulated through his body and then flowed into his dantian. Because the energy was different, his dantian also underwent a slight mutation, becoming somewhat different.

Zheng Xiaotian, whether by the system's arrangement or not, saved Duxinzheng, the main character. His armor had changed, but the butler didn't notice anything and didn't tell him.
