Stepping on the timeline, Sun Cheng managed to arrive at the designated location right in the last few seconds as agreed, showcasing a psychological tactic he had up his sleeve.

Clearly, his casual browsing of psychology books during his university days wasn't in vain.

As he landed and deactivated his optical camouflage, revealing his mechanical body within the camp, Sun Cheng could clearly perceive the astonishment and excitement on the faces of the people around him.

Feeling a hint of satisfaction, he slowly lowered his head. His pair of electronic eyes quickly scanned the area within his field of view, and soon his gaze locked onto a middle-aged military officer who had an unremarkable appearance, seemingly in his early forties.

"A pair of golden branches, a golden star, the rank of a brigadier general..."

Comparing this with the rank data he had found online, Sun Cheng immediately recognized that this middle-aged officer, dressed in the uniform of a brigadier general, was likely the person in charge of this camp. In other words, he was probably the primary contact person from the Chinese side in direct contact with Sun Cheng.

Without hesitation, Sun Cheng made his way toward the Chinese brigadier general.

As Sun Cheng moved, the camp instantly erupted in commotion.

Amidst the clattering sound, he temporarily halted his steps and took a brief look around. The corners of his mouth curved involuntarily. "Humans, this is not the way you should welcome guests!"

Although he was aware of the caution the Chinese side had towards him, understanding that a government wouldn't be as naïve as a few fantasizing individuals, believing that extraterrestrial visitors would arrive with peaceful intentions, they would naturally be vigilant and well-prepared. This was an expected circumstance.

However, for the sake of playing his role, Sun Cheng deliberately displayed an expression of impatience. Coupled with his sinister appearance and cold electronic voice, even though he spoke fluent Mandarin Chinese, it sent an involuntary shiver down the spines of everyone present.

The brigadier general also realized that their reaction had been somewhat excessive. He quickly waved his hand, signaling the soldiers who had their guns aimed at Sun Cheng to lower their weapons.

Taking a deep breath, he appeared somewhat rigid in both expression and body language. Nevertheless, he took the initiative to step forward, approaching Sun Cheng, and tentatively asked, "It seems you can also speak Chinese. I apologize for my earlier behavior. My name is Chen Zhongyuan. Welcome to China. And how should I address you, Your Excellency...?"

"Call me Frenzy!"

Without a moment of hesitation, Sun Cheng directly revealed his codename within the Decepticon army.

There was no point in feigning ignorance. He believed that once he willingly exposed himself, Chinese intelligence agencies would undoubtedly exhaust all means to gather information about him. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Frenzy's identity was uncovered.

Rather than allowing suspicions about his true intentions to arise later, it was more appropriate to proactively reveal his identity at this moment.

In the future, even if the things about him in the United States come to light, it will actually make the other party fear him even more.

Sun Cheng's gaze lingered on the several tanks around him. He had a thought in his mind, but his smile grew wider on his face.

He walked back towards Chen Zhongyuan until he was less than a meter away, then slowly extended his hand towards him. With Chen Zhongyuan, who was stiff all over, he shook hands before speaking again: "Forgive my bluntness, human. In our eyes, the conventional military forces on Earth are not worth mentioning. Furthermore, in the presence of a leader who possesses the Space Bridge, you will never guess that you're only facing one person, or rather, an army!"

The Space Bridge technology is one of the super technologies of Cybertron Planet.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Space Bridge ranks among the top technologies on Cybertron Planet, easily securing a position within the top ten.

This is an incredibly powerful space bridging technology. By mastering the Space Bridge, one can directly create a spatial transportation channel to accurately transmit resources and even troops to designated locations.

Unfortunately, it is said that only a Leader-level superpower can master the Space Bridge technology, and there are many other requirements as well.

Therefore, even in Cybertron, it is rumored that only a few individuals, such as Shockwave and the former Autobots' leader, Sentinel Prime, have control over it.

Naturally, Sun Cheng couldn't possibly possess this technology, not even understanding its basic principles.

However, this doesn't hinder his penchant for bragging!

After all, the people on Earth have no idea what the "Space Bridge" signifies, conveniently allowing him to later reveal his spherical storage capacity as a last resort.

Upon hearing his belittlement of Earth's military power, Chen Zhongyuan, clearly lacking some political cunning due to his military background, showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

Nonetheless, he suppressed his discontent and asked solemnly, "Your Excellency Frenzy, on behalf of my country, China, I extend a warm welcome to you and eagerly await our interaction. However, may I personally ask you a question?"

"Certainly..."

Sun Cheng raised his hand slightly, signaling him to proceed with his question.

"Why did you come to Earth and choose to make contact with us?"

Chen Zhongyuan raised his head, his gaze sharp as he looked at Sun Cheng. Clearly, despite the amiable attitude, he hadn't completely let go of his wariness.

After all, an extraterrestrial being suddenly intruding upon the planet they call home naturally elicits deep-rooted distrust and hostility, sentiments not easily dispelled by a few kind words.

A flicker of deep blue light shimmered in Sun Cheng's eyes. This question was expected, and he had long prepared for it.

He raised his right hand, pressing it against his temple. As his Core activated, two brilliant blue beams shot out from his eyes, rapidly spreading throughout the camp.

The surrounding environment changed immediately, and everyone, including Chen Zhongyuan, had a drastic change in their facial expressions. They looked down at the ground with fear, only to see a planet covered in steel.

Then, volcanoes erupted, and magma splattered everywhere. In the sky and across from them, there were terrifying mechanical giants, huge in size and with menacing expressions, engaged in battles.

"...We come from Cybertron Planet, a distant place from Earth. Similar to your Earth, our planet is home to two different races: the Decepticons and the Autobots. Due to various differences in ideologies, a fierce civil war broke out between the Decepticons and the Autobots. This war destroyed our civilization and our home planet, causing us to lose our mechanical life's sacred artifact, the All Spark. In order to find the All Spark, our leader, Megatron, dispatched numerous elite warriors into the universe to search for it. As for me—Frenzy, the leader of the reformist faction within the Decepticon army—I was also forced to leave our home planet and embark on an exile journey in search of the Sacred artifact known as the All Spark."

Virtual imaging, for mechanical lifeforms, is nothing more than a relatively primitive technology.

After Core stopped transmitting data from his electronic eyes, this scene, which he had designed and directed, depicting an "internal war," came to an immediate end.

Observing the bewildered expressions on the faces of Chen Zhongyuan and the others, Sun Cheng's eyes filled with a stronger sense of amusement. He continued to speak earnestly, "Half a year ago, we captured the traces of our Decepticon's archenemy—the Autobots—beyond the Solar System. Following their trail, we arrived on Earth, only to discover that the Autobots had already made contact with and established a cooperative relationship with a country on Earth called the United States."

"General, as we witness our enemies leveraging Earth's resources to regain their strength, we have been compelled to make a difficult decision. Hence, I have come here with sincerity and a willingness to offer you the technological advancements and scientific support that can assist China in achieving dominance over Earth. However, we also require energy and various metals... So, let's make a deal..."
