Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#497 - Bumblebee

As expected, in the following days, news of what happened in the Liao Kingdom's imperial city began to spread to Bianliang through various channels. Whether it was the royalty and nobles or the common people, most had heard something about it.

The difference was that the former had more professional information channels and a more comprehensive understanding of the matter.

The latter only heard rumors, and the sources of information were too fragmented and complex.

They only vaguely knew that someone had made a scene in the Liao Kingdom's imperial palace and had killed many grandmaster-level figures of the Liao Kingdom on the spot. However, they had no clear idea of who did it or which grandmasters were killed.

Anyway, for a time, various speculations were emerging in the streets and alleys~

In order to compensate and make amends, and to apologize for their previous assassination attempt in the downtown area, the Liao Kingdom's embassy in Bianliang specially sent a carriage with three large boxes of gifts one evening…

The contents were nothing more than some gold, silver, and jewelry, precious animal furs, and some aged medicinal materials.

Although Liang Yue didn't really care for such things, he didn't refuse them.

Anyway, in Liang Yue's opinion, the assassination attempt was already in the past, starting from when he returned from the Liao Kingdom.

He wouldn't refuse something for nothing~

From then on, Liang Yue's initial missions in this public world were basically completed.

In the following days, in addition to continuing his daily cultivation and occasionally teaching the children at home, he spent most of his time in the southwestern mountains outside Bianliang, supervising the construction site of the sect.

In this way, another three days passed in the blink of an eye.

According to the time exchange ratio given by the system at the beginning, and the clock reminder from the intelligent Xiaowu, it should now be the early morning of the second day in reality…

In order not to delay anything, after saying hello to the women, Liang Yue flashed out of the public world, took a detour in MC, and returned directly to the manor in reality.

Who knew that as soon as he appeared, he discovered that there seemed to be guests at home~

…

"Sam~ What happened to you? And who is this lady?"

In the hall of his manor villa, Sam was lying sprawled on the sofa, fast asleep, covered in oil and sweat.

Moreover, the young man was holding a shapely girl in his arms at the moment~

More strangely, in front of the two, next to the sofa, a yellow sports car was parked in the spacious living room…

The first thing Liang Yue did upon returning to reality was to connect with the clone left behind by the intelligent Xiaowu, and he naturally understood what had happened in his manor last night.

But to be on the safe side, he still woke the two up, knowing full well what happened, and went through the process with them.

"Oh~ Hey! Liang Yue, uh oh~ Sorry, I came to your house last night. Listen to me, buddy! Something big is about to happen, aliens are preparing to attack Earth!

I was chased all the way last night, crossing most of New York City to get here, oh~ right, this is Mikaela, the one I told you about before, my high school classmate.

She just transferred here yesterday, this is Bumblebee~"

Soon, under Sam's somewhat incoherent, confused, and excited narration, Liang Yue roughly understood what had happened last night.

Liang Yue had already spent "a lot of money" to buy the glasses a few days ago, but the aliens from Cybertron didn't know, so they still went to Sam first yesterday afternoon.

Sam, on the other hand, had just received financial support from Liang Yue, and his inner confidence had soared, so he took the initiative to approach and accepted the task of taking his old classmate Mikaela to familiarize herself with the school environment.

In the original plan, the two were supposed to go out for a meal last night, watch a movie, and then return to the school dormitory.

It was an ordinary arrangement, but something went wrong~

On a bustling pedestrian street, a Decepticon found them, and then Bumblebee, who had been secretly observing, came to the rescue.

Immediately afterwards, the two chased each other all the way, and under Sam's guidance, they crossed most of New York City and arrived at Liang Yue's house…

As for the Decepticon who had been chasing them all the way, it was shot into a sieve by an electromagnetic cannon controlled by Xiaowu's clone as soon as it entered Liang Yue's manor.

Bumblebee, on the other hand, was spared because of Sam's familiar face.

…

"Hello, buddy~"

After finishing his meal, Liang Yue reached out and patted the yellow sports car in front of him, greeting it.

"Gurgle gurgle~"

The next moment, accompanied by a dazzling transformation and mechanical electronic sound, the sports car in front of him turned into Bumblebee's appearance, and responded to Liang Yue with a movie quote.

"Hello~ Sir."

"When will your main force arrive on Earth?"

"…Probably, in about half a month, sir."

"That's good, then, how about you be responsible for protecting my classmate during this time? I estimate that he will encounter a lot of trouble afterwards."

"No problem, but what about you? I think the glasses seem to be with you. After identifying the target, the Decepticons will keep coming."

"Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself."

As he spoke, the group had already passed through the gate of the villa and arrived in the yard.

Looking around, they saw a pile of parts scattered all over a lawn more than a hundred meters away. From the incomplete mechanical limbs, one could barely recognize that it was once a robot.

A moment later, the group arrived nearby.

However, before Liang Yue could examine it carefully, a phone call suddenly came in at this moment.

From the display screen of the intelligent Xiaowu, it could be seen that the caller was Tony Stark…

After connecting, Stark's big head immediately appeared on the other side of the video.

The background~ seemed to be inside the Iron Man armor. To be precise, he should be in flight right now.

"Hello, Tony."

"Hello, kid, I heard your house was attacked again last night?"

"An accidental intruder, it's been dealt with, how did you know?"

"That guy was bombing all the way with machine guns and rockets last night. Although the damage wasn't great, I believe many people know about it.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be a robot, right? The kind that can~ transform into a car?"

"Almost, it's actually a mechanical race from an alien planet, with intelligence as high as humans, but they seem to be divided into two factions.

For some reason, two of my classmates have also been caught up in it."

"…OK~ It seems that things are a bit more complicated than I thought. Originally, I was just planning to go and take a look at the technical level of this robot.

Now, I'm afraid we need to re-formulate a response plan. I can probably~ get there in three minutes. In addition, some other departments will probably get involved in this matter.

You need to be mentally prepared."

"I didn't know that you've become my agent, Mr. Stark."

"Uh-huh~ There are many things you don't know, kid. To be honest, I've been secretly blocking a lot of trouble for you during this time."

"Thank you, then I'll see you in a while."

"See you in a while~"
