"Megatron? Hmm, not bad."
Jiang Lin nodded. He had snuck in a little extra with the latest batch of sparks, and so far, it seemed to be working out.
But this scene left the other three stunned.
"It's alive? Is it artificial intelligence?"
One of the company employees speculated uncertainly.
However, Luo Ping shook his head, his tone reverent.
"How could it be that simple? It just goes to show that Mr. Jiang Lin is truly extraordinary; his mere touch achieves a level that we ordinary people cannot comprehend."
At this moment, the other two company employees said in unison,
"Our leader is brilliant."
But Jiang Lin paid little attention to their workplace flattery and directly asked Megatron:
"I've already sent you the location. How fast can you get there?"
After a moment of silence, Megatron's deep voice conveyed certainty and confidence.
"One day at most. Please trust me, Great Creator."
"Just call me 'Sir.'"
"Understood, Sir. Please buckle up and hold on tight."
Jiang Lin nodded, took his seat in the cockpit, and, after ensuring his safety, gave the command to depart.
Seeing this, the other three also didn't hesitate and quickly found a seat.
As the engine started, the scenery around the spaceship began to blur.
Before anyone could react, a strong sensation of being pushed back pressed upon everyone.
Jiang Lin was fine, but the other three were in a sorry state. Because they hadn't paid much attention to safety measures, they instantly piled up at the back of the spaceship like a human pyramid.
Fortunately, Luo Ping was at the bottom. His strong physique as a Xianzhou native meant he only felt a slight pain before recovering.
"You two, aren't you going to get off me?! Whose gun is poking my butt? Get it off me now!"
Under the spaceship's internal coordination function, the discomfort lasted only a few seconds before being adjusted.
"Okay, okay, I'll help you up."
"Alright, alright, I'm not that fragile."
After the three stood up from the floor, they realized that the spaceship no longer felt strange at all, as if it wasn't even traveling.
The three immediately felt confused, as they knew how far this distance was. No matter how fast, it couldn't be this quick, could it?
Thinking this, the three looked out the window one after another.
Outside the viewport, stars were compressed into a blue light band, and galaxies were stretched into flowing colored silk.
All the light behind them receded into dark red, as if the entire universe was being kneaded into strange wrinkles by the speed.
Luo Ping, who was the first to see this sight, immediately froze in place... No, is this right?
He had seen this model of spaceship at full speed before; was it ever this exaggerated?
The other two, seeing their leader's expression, were somewhat puzzled.
So they also looked out the viewport in unison.
Instantly, both of them showed the same stunned expression as Luo Ping.
Then the atmosphere fell into an eerie calm.
It wasn't until 2 minutes later that one of them seemed to snap back to reality and walked to a corner of the spaceship with a complex expression.
He silently took out his phone and tried to make a call.
But for some reason, the call wouldn't connect... So he simply chose to record a video... "Mom, I love you..."
Luo Ping heard the commotion and turned to look at him, at a loss for words.
Just then, another familiar voice reached his ears.
"Dad! I'm not a coward, I sacrificed myself heroically during a mission!"
Luo Ping stiffly turned his head to see the other company employee also recording his last words in another corner of the spaceship... Luo Ping instantly felt his vision go dark. Having these two subordinates was truly a blessing he'd accumulated over 800 years in his past life.
Whether Luo Ping could laugh at this moment was unknown, but Jiang Lin involuntarily smiled.
These three were simply too funny.
"As Sir's warriors, these three fellows are actually so cowardly!"
"No, they are merely guides for this journey, not my subordinates. Please take me back to Cybertron as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Megatron said no more. In his heart, escorting Jiang Lin back to Cybertron as quickly as possible was the top priority.
Along the way, Megatron, flying at full speed, crashed through everything, determined to get Jiang Lin to Cybertron as fast as he could.
Meanwhile, the employees at company checkpoints and rest stops along the way were all utterly bewildered.
"Did something just fly past?"
"I don't know, I also felt like something, but I didn't see it..."
"Aren't you a Pathstrider?"
"Pathstriders aren't omnipotent either..."
"..."
"Report it?"
"Let's report it..."
After nearly a day of full-speed flight, Megatron finally slowed down and stopped.
"Sir, we have arrived."
Jiang Lin nodded and unfastened his safety restraints.
The other three on the ship were in a daze at this point.
They looked out the viewport again... "Is this... inside the planet?"
One of the employees asked uncertainly.
"Yes, this is our company's last temporary base on this planet. I was here just two months ago."
Luo Ping nodded. He was quite familiar with the environment here; otherwise, this mission wouldn't have fallen to him.
Thinking this, Luo Ping suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
"Thankfully, no major incidents happened this time."
After all, the distance from Penacony to here wasn't short. A few months ago, when he traveled from here to Penacony, the journey wasn't as peaceful as this one.
After all, in this vast universe, dangers are far more numerous than opportunities.
At this moment, Megatron had already opened the hatch.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin stepped directly out of the spaceship.
The others, seeing this, also dared not hesitate and followed him out.
But when the three disembarked, the scene they witnessed instantly left them stunned.
It wasn't because the planet had undergone significant changes, nor was it any accident at the company's temporary base.
It was the spaceship before them... Its appearance was completely different from when they boarded it.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed it.
This incredibly cool-looking battleship before them was, just yesterday, used for tourist travel?
And what made them even more incredulous was yet to come... After everyone had disembarked, the spaceship actually began to transform?
Under the three's utterly disbelieving gazes, gears whirred, the ship's body disassembled and reassembled, constantly flipping, folding, and extending, until it transformed into a massive robot over 20 meters tall!
