Transformers Begin

Finally, Sun Cheng managed to scare off the two unwelcome guests who came knocking on his door. After locking the door, he felt his legs go weak and he sat down on the ground.

It was all thanks to the anger he felt and his quick thinking that he managed to confront the two loan sharks who came from an unknown source. Also, it was fortunate that the other party was a bully who was afraid of the strong, and he was able to intimidate them. Otherwise, he would have been beaten badly.

"Are the security guards at South China University of Technology all useless? It's supposed to be the top science and engineering university in the country, and yet anyone can enter the campus!"

Sun Cheng couldn't help but complain in his heart while catching his breath on the ground.

However, he knew that it wasn't the security guard's fault. After all, the campus facilities at South China University of Technology were the best in the area. Not to mention that many young people and elderly people around like to take a stroll from the side gate to the playground after work. Even if they enter through the main gate, there's only one more registration procedure. It's really impossible to stop people.

After sitting for a while, Sun Cheng regained his strength and stood up. He was only in his early twenties, and just a week ago, he never would have thought that the world could be so ugly and dirty.

Returning to his computer, Sun Cheng no longer had the desire to continue tinkering with it because the confrontation just now had taken too much of his energy. However, he was a cautious person, especially after his experience in another world. He became even more distrustful of everything else except himself.

Although he only casually mentioned showing the progress of his entrepreneurship project to Xiao Hong tomorrow, he couldn't afford to have that guy show up without any preparation.

Therefore, Sun Cheng created a new document and recalled his original entrepreneurial plan, summarized his experiences and lessons learned, and worked on improving and modifying it in front of the computer.

This busy work lasted for more than two hours, until the lights suddenly went out in the dormitory. The sudden discomfort in his eyes made him realize that the lights-out time had arrived.

"The lights are out? Well, it's better to rest for now. Tomorrow, I'll take some time to go to the library and find some programming textbooks to read!"

Although his laptop had an external battery and could last for another two hours even if the school power went out, Sun Cheng still stopped working and prepared to rest.

He had already finished the new project plan an hour ago and had been trying to use his newly acquired computer skills to single-handedly design and develop a simulator.

However, the result was a heavy blow.

Sun Cheng tried for nearly an hour before realizing that he had no idea how to start.

It wasn't that developing a simulator was more difficult than simplifying and improving an operating system. If the amount of work and difficulty of the two were compared, it was obvious that they were not on the same level, and simplifying and improving an operating system was much more difficult.

However, when he had an idea during the day, he could complete the seemingly impossible task of improving the XP operating system in just a few hours.

Now, when he tried to develop a simulator on his own, he found that he had no idea where to start.

How should he say it? It was as if he had no concept of a simulator in his head at all.

"Indeed, my sudden surge of computer skills was just an illusion. It shouldn't be my own ability, but rather, it was influenced by Frenzy's memory data..."

Although he was disappointed, Sun Cheng was not unprepared for it. In fact, he had already had a suspicion in his heart from the beginning, but now it was just confirmed.

In another world, he had used Frenzy's mechanical body to invade the global internet. At that time, the most widely used operating system in that world was Microsoft's XP operating system. It was possible that Frenzy's Core had completely cracked this operating system unintentionally, and through memory sharing, it had influenced him when he returned to the real world.

Now, when Sun Cheng wanted to develop a simulator, the Frenzy memory he had acquired did not contain any concept of a simulator. At this point, as a human, he didn't have the Decepticon's Core artifact in his head either. He could only rely on his own original abilities, which was why he found that he didn't know where to start.

Sun Cheng went out to the bathroom across the dorm and finished washing in a few minutes. He then returned to the dorm and turned off his computer before climbing into bed.

He had just closed his eyes when he felt drowsiness wash over him. At the same time, he sensed an unknown pull from a corner of his body, tempting him.

"Wait, is this...?"

With a sudden realization, Sun Cheng forced himself to focus and instinctively reached for the source of the pull.

The next moment, he felt as if his consciousness was caught in a whirlpool and suddenly found himself back in the blue spherical space. Although he had been there before, he still couldn't believe it.

It was so amazing that this space could allow him to travel between two worlds.

Looking around, Sun Cheng confirmed that there was nothing else in the blue spherical space except for the two light screens in the center. He was a little disappointed because the less information he had, the harder it was for him to analyze where he was and why he had the ability to travel here.

Fortunately, Sun Cheng quickly adjusted his mindset and controlled his ghost-like body to float around the spherical space. Feeling bored, he wanted to leave and controlled his body to fly back to the light screen that led to reality.

"Wow!"

The screen lit up in one second, showing him quietly sleeping in bed, although it was already late at night in reality. He estimated how long it had been since he woke up this morning and fell asleep just now, and compared it with the numbers constantly flowing behind the red star in the lower right corner of the screen. He nodded to himself.

"I'm not wrong, the numbers behind the red star are the time. But what does it mean? Will something change in the spherical space or in the real world after thirty days?"

Because he had too little information, Sun Cheng couldn't figure it out and frowned for more than ten seconds before he collected himself and stopped thinking about what they represented.

Just when he was about to return to reality, he caught sight of the data behind the blue star above the red star had changed. His spirits suddenly lifted.

"Huh, how did the data behind the blue star change to 237/1000? Didn't I see 437/1000 last time?"

After seriously recalling, Sun Cheng quickly confirmed that he was not mistaken. He remembered clearly that he had seen 437/1000 before.

Thinking that the same set of data seemed to be displayed on another light screen, he immediately floated over to the other screen. When the screen lit up, he looked to the lower right corner and found that the numbers behind the blue star had indeed changed from the original 437/1000 to 237/1000.

"There's no mistake, this set of data did change, and it decreased. What does this mean?"

He scratched his head, which was his favorite thing to do when he was troubled. Unfortunately, he was in ghost form now, but his worries did not decrease because his body temporarily disappeared. In fact, Sun Cheng felt that he had more worries now and his mind was filled with questions that needed to be solved.

For example, there is now one more thing to consider: why did the numbers behind the Blue Star suddenly decrease? Sun Cheng couldn't help but think back to when he was at Starscream's base, in the supply room, replenishing energy for Frenzy's mechanical body. Just like tonight, he captured the fluctuation of the spherical space and was able to enter here again. At that time, the numbers behind Blue Star were still 437/1000. "Wait a minute..." Sun Cheng suddenly had an idea, "After that, I came back from the Decepticon world, and the numbers behind the Blue Star decreased by two hundred? Does this mean that the number behind the Blue Star represents some kind of energy that allows me to freely travel between the two worlds?" With this thought, he suddenly realized that this explained everything and the next step was to verify it after the next crossing.

Looking back at the screen, Sun Cheng soon made a new discovery. When his gaze inadvertently passed over the White Star below, he saw that the data behind it had also changed from 2/1 to 1/1. He wasn't too bothered by the change in White Star's data because he already had some speculations about it. He felt that this group of data represented something that could be taken from one world to another, such as the iPhone 5 he brought from reality to the other world, or the Level 2 Core that he brought back from the other world this time. However, like Blue Star, he needed to experiment a few more times to verify his guess.

Feeling that his understanding of the spherical space had deepened somewhat, Sun Cheng's mood suddenly improved. Even the annoyance and anxiety brought by Xiao Hong and others coming to his door for debt collection had faded away. Just as he was about to return to the real world, he frowned and stopped when he saw Frenzy's mechanical body displayed on the screen in front of him.

The first two times he crossed, he was passive, but he still gained a lot from it. The first time he discovered that he could share Frenzy's memory data in the real world, and the second time he not only found a way to repay his debt, but also brought back a Level 2 Core from the Decepticon army. Although it was dangerous, the benefits were obvious if he could fully control it. The two passive crossings had brought him a lot of benefits from the other world, which gave him a great inspiration.

Thinking back to his situation in reality, his business failed, and he was even forced to owe high-interest loans by someone else. He had just announced the dissolution of his entrepreneurial team in the morning, and Xiao Hong and others immediately came to threaten him in the evening, which didn't seem like they would easily let him go. The reality was no longer safe, and danger could even come to his family.

Sun Cheng, who was clever, realized that his only way out was not in reality, but in the other world, inside Frenzy's mechanical body that he possessed after crossing. This discovery made him hesitate to enter the door to the other world. After looking back and forth at the two screens representing reality and the other world several times, he finally made a decision and rushed into the screen that could send him to the other world without looking back.
