Chapter 60: Dizziness (Begging for recommendations, collections, and rewards)

~7 min read 1,336 words

After circling in mid-air for quite a while, Sun Cheng finally landed in the Daxia. Calculating the time, six or seven hours had already passed since he left his base.

"It seems that because the previous few times caused too much of a stir, the Americans have learned their lesson..."

Transforming back into his human form, he saw that he was not far from the platform at the entrance of Onslaught's base, so he simply walked over at a leisurely pace.

It really wasn't too far from his own base to Onslaught's; even if Sun Cheng wasn't flying at full speed, he estimated he should have arrived in two hours.

However, not long after he left his base and started flying, he sensed something was wrong.

His 【Spark】 frequently captured satellite reconnaissance signals from high altitude, and from time to time, there were electromagnetic waves emitted from dense radar stations on the ground.

It was clear that their previous waves of storming military bases and secretly invading Sector 7 had made the Americans furious. Until they were certain whether these non-human Mechanical Life forms were still lurking within the United States, the country's nerves would remain on edge.

Jumping onto the platform, Sun Cheng noticed that surveillance equipment had discovered him, but he didn't care.

He didn't bother notifying anyone before visiting out of courtesy like he had in the past, and walked straight into the cave.

After walking only a few steps, a communication from Onslaught came through, his tone extremely impatient: "Didn't I warn you not to bother me if there's nothing important?"

"Are you sure you want to drive me away?" He had the 【AllSpark】 with him, so he was full of confidence.

After replying casually, Sun Cheng didn't stop, walking straight toward the base Onslaught had hidden deep within the cave.

Perhaps because the base was located in the desolate Daxia, there weren't many defenses here. Although he didn't walk fast, it didn't take long for him to enter the base's only main hall and see Onslaught, who was wearing an irritable expression.

Hearing footsteps, Onslaught turned his head back. It seemed the manufacturing process for his new equipment wasn't going smoothly; he was clearly in a state of irritation. He opened his mouth, just about to scold Sun Cheng, "Don't... eh..."

Suddenly, having regained his composure, he noticed the changes in Sun Cheng at a glance, and the light in his eyes intensified in an instant: "Spark? You found the 【AllSpark】!"

Sun Cheng nodded slightly, looking at him without saying a word.

He knew that as long as Onslaught saw him, his changes could never be hidden from the other party.

Not to mention the powerful fluctuation frequency of his Spark, which was different from a low-level Core, his current body itself had originally come from Onslaught's hands; it was just that after being Enhanced by the special energy of the 【AllSpark】, its quality had improved a bit.

Seeing him nod in confirmation, Onslaught felt a surge of joy. He was so excited that he even knocked over the machine he treasured so much, yet he didn't even notice. He took large strides, walked up to Sun Cheng in a few steps, and asked hurriedly: "Where is the 【AllSpark】? Take me there quickly..."

Looking at him, it seemed he had likely already fully mastered all the information within his body; as long as he could make contact with the 【AllSpark】, his Spark could advance once more.

Standing less than two meters tall, Sun Cheng was stared at intensely from above by the exceptionally massive Onslaught. Even with his own confidence, Sun Cheng couldn't help but feel a bit of a chill.

However, he was more or less used to the Decepticons' style of doing things, so he said unhurriedly: "Lord Onslaught, the 【AllSpark】 is currently stored in a human base. I had to run around everywhere to inquire, and it took a great deal of effort to find the location!"

After this bit of nonsense was finished, Onslaught's face was already very displeased. He snorted angrily, "Greedy vermin..."

Glaring fiercely at Sun Cheng, the light in Onslaught's eyes flickered. Sun Cheng felt a tightness in his heart and hurriedly assumed a combat stance, simultaneously increasing the distance between them, clearly intending to flee.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, although he was annoyed by the extortion, Onslaught was indeed tickled by the 【AllSpark】.

He didn't dare gamble on whether he could capture Sun Cheng immediately; after all, he didn't know his Spark's abilities, and he was even more worried that if he really let him run away, he wouldn't know how many more years he would have to wait to find the 【AllSpark】 again.

Currently, having quickly made his calculations, he said irritably: "Speak, state your demands..."

"A body!" Seeing that he had finally compromised, Sun Cheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, though he remained vigilant. "I want a New Body!"

"Impossible!"

Onslaught stomped his feet in frustration, leaving a deep crater in the hard rocky ground.

He looked at Sun Cheng angrily, the murderous intent in his eyes no longer concealed. "Don't push your luck. Just relying on the two of us, the resources required for a high-level Decepticon body are far from something that can be gathered in a year or two."

Sun Cheng felt a bit disappointed. He had intentionally not been clear, just to test Onslaught's bottom line. It seemed his New Body could not be obtained from him.

Unwilling to have a falling out with such a powerful Decepticon Warrior, he had to settle for second best and said: "I don't need that level of body; the kind you designed for me last time is enough. Besides, I also want a Worker..."

Onslaught's eyes flashed; this request was one he could barely accept.

But being threatened by a junior whose strength was far inferior to his own made him very angry. Just as he was about to haggle with him again, he didn't expect Sun Cheng to say another sentence: "After the item is in hand, I guarantee I will take you to the 【AllSpark】 immediately."

After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"I can give you a Worker first, but the body will take a few days. It's the same materials as last time; go collect them yourself..."

Sun Cheng knew this was likely the bottom line he could accept. Just as he was about to agree, his body suddenly stalled, and he turned around abruptly to look into the unknown distance.

After a gloomy change of expression on his face, he shook his head and directly refused Onslaught: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Lord Onslaught to help me collect the materials as well..."

Onslaught squinted at him; he recognized Sun Cheng's state just now—it must have been receiving an Interstellar Transmission.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who else has come to Earth?"

Clearly, this guy had also guessed a bit about the relationship between Sun Cheng, Soundwave, and Starscream; just seeing him use information about the 【AllSpark】 to trade with him was enough to guess a thing or two.

Sun Cheng frowned, and after a long while, he softly spat out two words: "Blackout!"

Blackout!

This name also made Onslaught fall into a moment of silence. After a while, he nodded slightly, "You can take the Worker first, come get the body in two days. Remember, don't play any tricks on me!"

Clearly, the arrival of Blackout made him, a Decepticon Elite Warrior, very wary, to the point that he even actively agreed to those conditions he had originally been unwilling to accept.

Sun Cheng nodded slightly. After obtaining his consent, he picked a low-level Decepticon Worker used for production from Onslaught's base and left. He had to hurry and send it to his own base, then go meet a troublesome big guy.
