Once again returning to this mysterious spherical space, Sun Cheng finally felt the relief he had been seeking for the past few days.
"Seems like there are still certain conditions to enter here," he thought unconsciously as he looked around the empty space, similar to the previous times he had entered, except for the two screens in the center.
However, after looking around a few more times, Sun Cheng noticed some small changes. The fluorescent blue light in the spherical space was much brighter compared to the last time he entered. Other than that, there were no other changes.
Surprisingly, the empty spherical space brought a sense of safety to Sun Cheng. Even though he still felt uncomfortable losing control of his body, he quickly regained control and floated towards the center of the space, stopping in front of the screen on the right.
The screen instantly lit up, revealing a scene of Sun Cheng quietly replenishing energy in the supply room of Starscream's base.
Sun Cheng stared at the image for a while before shifting his gaze towards the bottom right corner of the screen.
Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed as he exclaimed, "Huh!"
If Sun Cheng remembered correctly, a few days ago when he entered this space from the real world, the bottom right corner of the screen displayed two sets of numbers: Blue Star: 65/1000, White Star: 1/1.
However, after a few days, he returned to find that both sets of numbers had changed to Blue Star: 437/1000, White Star: 2/1.
"What do these two sets of numbers represent?" Sun Cheng pondered for a while, but still couldn't figure out what they meant. He sighed and moved on to the next screen.
The screen on the left represented the real world and lit up just like the previous one when he approached it, revealing a young man hunched over a table.
"Phew, there's still no change!" Sun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that nothing had changed from a few days ago.
However, his eyes brightened as he glanced at the corner of the screen. "Blue Star: 437/1000, Red Star: 44996:14:58... has there been a change?"
He still didn't understand the meaning behind the Blue Star and its accompanying numbers, but he suspected that the Red Star and its numbers represented time.
He calculated in his head and realized that he had been in the Decepticon world for over four days. After verifying his initial guess, he was even more surprised.
He remembered that he had inexplicably traveled to the Decepticon world while drunk and stayed there for most of the night before returning to reality. The next morning, when he returned to the Decepticon world, time seemed to have stopped.
But now, even though he had spent four or five days in the Decepticon world, it seemed like it had no effect on the real world except for the timer on the screen. However, he hadn't confirmed the last point yet.
Without hesitation, Sun Cheng immediately chose to collide with the screen in front of him and return to the real world. Even though he had only spent a few days in the Decepticon world, he felt exhausted as if years had passed.
The threat of Baricade, the danger of Spectro, the means of Soundwave, and the most unpredictable one is Starscream.
Dealing with these non-human life forms is too exhausting.
With insufficient strength, he could only rely on his wits to cope. Fortunately, most of the Decepticons he has encountered so far are powerful seniors who have never taken him seriously, which has given him a lot of operational space.
Even so, the experiences he had in this other world in just a few days have left him feeling overwhelmed.
Now, he has finally returned to the spherical space, and when faced with the choice of returning to his original world, Sun Cheng did not hesitate and made his choice.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a bright blue light shone, accompanied by a strange sense of soul being extracted and a brief dizziness. When Sun Cheng regained his senses, he subconsciously looked around and saw that he was back in his office.
"Back already?"
The slight dizziness caused by the time travel was still affecting him, making Sun Cheng feel as if none of this was real.
He couldn't help but slap himself in the face. The crisp sound of the slap was like a cool antidote, finally dispelling the negative feelings.
He rubbed his temples and got up from his seat. Sun Cheng subconsciously touched his stomach, feeling uncomfortable with the empty feeling.
"I'm back? Good..."
He comforted himself silently and looked out the window. It was a sunny day.
However, his experience of traveling back and forth between two worlds has made Sun Cheng's sense of time somewhat blurred. He subconsciously reached into his pocket to take out his phone and check the time.
But when he reached into his pocket, his face suddenly changed.
His fingertips touched something cold, but it was not the familiar metallic touch of his memory of the iPhone 5. It was another kind of coldness, smaller and completely different in shape.
After quickly taking out what he had touched from his pocket, Sun Cheng's eyes widened in amazement as he looked at the black crystal in the palm of his hand. It was the Reconnaissance Template that Starscream had given him a day ago.
"This...this is the Reconnaissance Template?"
There was no mistaking it!
This 2nd level Core that Starscream had given him, along with the iPhone 5 that he brought from the real world, were both kept in his body using the Transformation function, and he treasured them dearly.
Although he had some disdain for this problem-ridden low-level item after he had unlocked all of Frenzy's memories, a 2nd level Core was still a 2nd level Core. It was a higher level existence than the Core equipped in Frenzy's body when he took over it in the other world. Not to mention, its computing power alone far exceeded all of Earth's supercomputers.
But what puzzled Sun Cheng was how he managed to bring this thing back with him?
