Chapter 485: Returning Once More

Although he did not believe Atlas and the others would dare to deceive him regarding the things he wanted, Sun Cheng had always felt less secure in the Transformers world than in the real world.

Aside from himself, he had never fully trusted anyone, not even the Pioneer who had always been loyal to him.

He opened the sixteen giant shipping containers one by one and scanned everything inside to ensure that Atlas and the others had not dared to play any tricks.

Only then did Sun Cheng breathe a sigh of relief; after months of continuous infusion of Energy Liquid, the Spherical Space within his body had expanded significantly compared to before, now becoming a hemispherical space with a radius of over 125 meters.

Although this consumed a considerable amount of High-purity Energy Liquid, in his view, it was all worth it.

The Predator civilization ship he had obtained from three Predators in the real world no longer made this mysterious space look so cramped now that it was stored inside the Spherical Space.

And the extra massive space had also been more than half filled after his continuous additions over the past few months.

Yet even so, it was not difficult for the remaining space to hold these sixteen giant shipping containers.

It was time to return to the real world!

Having confirmed that this batch of items he wanted was fine, Sun Cheng set his mind at ease and stored them one by one into the Spherical Space.

The Pioneer and the Decepticon Engineer waiting on the side pretended not to see, but their gazes both froze for an instant.

Regarding this, Sun Cheng also acted as if he had seen nothing.

In the past, his strength was insufficient, so he had to hide things whenever he stored them in the Spherical Space; later, when he could no longer hide it, he lied to others that he was using a "Space Bridge" to remotely transport equipment to other places.

This lie was undoubtedly full of holes, and he knew it himself, let alone others.

But as Sun Cheng's own strength and the power of his Base continued to expand, while he could not control what others speculated, he cared less and less about their suspicions.

"Prepare a Laboratory for me; I need to stay for two days to research some things! Do not disturb me during these two days; we will discuss everything else after I come out."

After packing everything into the Spherical Space, Sun Cheng instructed the Pioneer to arrange a Laboratory for him.

He was intentionally cultivating the Pioneer's leadership abilities, so although he was also staying in Severodvinsk, the daily operations here were handled by the Pioneer.

"Additionally... keep a close watch on Africa; I want more information regarding the Decepticons' actions there!"

"Yes, Master. I will go make the arrangements now..."

The Pioneer responded and summoned a newly born Decepticon Worker, telling him to take Sun Cheng to clear out a manufacturing workshop to be used temporarily as a Laboratory for him.

In any case, the equipment in the manufacturing workshop was all produced by the Base, including two 3D printing devices.

If Sun Cheng needed to, he could fully rely on those two 3D printing devices to design and manufacture the parts he needed and then assemble them into the corresponding equipment.

His brows remained furrowed for a long time before relaxing; having barely digested the many things that had suddenly appeared in his mind, Sun Cheng took a deep breath of the air in the room and sank completely into the soft sofa.

His eyes, just opened, seemed to be bothered by the light emitted from the crystal chandelier above his head, and he subconsciously reached out a hand to block his forehead.

"... What a truly annoying feeling... clearly the transition should only take an instant, so why is it that every time I return, I always feel incomparably awkward..."

In his heart, a sense of irritability emerged for no reason.

Sun Cheng's narrowed pupils were somewhat dazed, and a feeling of awkwardness, more uncomfortable than the previous few times, was currently eroding his perception and spirit.

This "unfamiliar" feeling toward his body made him increasingly loathe this body of his, which was composed of carbohydrates and dozens of trace elements.

It made Sun Cheng feel not a shred of peace of mind; this weakness, where even clenching his fist and swinging it with all his might might not be enough to shatter a thin wooden board, made him very uncomfortable.

Although he had vaguely sensed it the previous few times he returned from the other world—that he had actually begun to feel a sense of rejection toward his body in the real world—it had never been as intense as it was this time.

"... Indeed, there is no such thing as perfection. It seems I really stayed in the Transformers world for too long this time..."

With his brows slightly furrowed, Sun Cheng looked down at his hands, pondering how to resolve this rejection reaction.

He vaguely felt that this should be because he had been playing the role of a Decepticon for a long time, and after a long period, problems had arisen in his spirit and psychology.

However, Sun Cheng had not studied much in terms of spirit and psychology, so even though he had detected the problem, he felt it was somewhat tricky for the time being.

He could only pay more attention in the future and find time to spare to study a countermeasure when he was free.

Outside the door, a sudden knock awakened Sun Cheng, who was leaning on the sofa and trying his best to adapt to his body as quickly as possible.

"Come in!"

He shouted subconsciously, but then heard the knocking continue; puzzled for a moment, some scattered memory fragments emerged as if in hindsight.

Only then did Sun Cheng realize that this villa he had purchased in the real world had good soundproofing, and before he left last time, he had locked the door from the inside to prevent anyone from coming in and discovering his abnormality.

Besides him, there was also Ye Qi in this house; Sun Cheng vaguely remembered that before his last traversal, he had spent a lot of effort to keep her in Nandu.

Now that she was living with him, the only person who would disturb him was Ye Qi.

Although he had not fully adapted to this body that felt very unfamiliar, Sun Cheng saw that the knocking did not stop, so he braced himself against the armrest of the sofa and stood up from the soft leather sofa.

As he stood up, he immediately staggered and nearly fell.

Sun Cheng felt a surge of anxiety and hurriedly reached out to support himself on the coffee table in front of him, preventing himself from falling.

"Bang!"

His hands slammed onto the coffee table, shaking 'Xiao Wu', who was disguised as a smartphone, causing it to immediately drop its disguise and turn into a miniature Decepticon.

"I'm fine!"

Sun Cheng stood up, bracing himself, and waved a hand.

"Continue your guard!"

Xiao Wu tilted its head, nodded, and immediately turned back into phone form.

After moving his legs and feet a little until the strange feeling of rejection toward his body gradually faded, Sun Cheng moved his still-stiff body and walked toward the main door.
