Chapter 449: 449

“Two days ago, it was me… who finished the half of the sandwich that you left in the fridge…” Vishnu admitted rather shyly.

“Ha?” Yama was startled by this. Obviously for that brief moment, she was being led astray by the tone that the man used. She thought he was going to profess his love for her or something.

“That day…” Vishnu continued, not realizing the thought that was going through Yama’s mind. “After I walked into the break room, I opened the fridge out of habit. I spotted the half sandwich sitting inside it… I thought it was my leftover from noon… so I grabbed and finished it without thinking much about it.” He paused. “I really did not know you have been splitting your sandwiches into half to last through the day because you are trying to go on a diet… but why are you going on a diet anyway, you do not need to lose anymore weight… In any case, when dinner came and you were going around asking about your missing sandwich, I was too ashamed to admit that it was me who ate it… I am so sorry.”

At this point, he turned his face around with sincere contrition. “In any case… there is no stalker around the studio like you think, it was just me who accidentally ate your sandwich… Ah!”

A long whip left a red welt around Vishnu’s neck…

“YOU! HAVE! SAID! TOO! MUCH!” Yama roared at the top of her lung. At the same time, her wrist twirled and the whip danced under her control. She picked up her ally and swung him around like a lasso. This ultimate that you would have seen from a Musuo game forced the surrounding Anomalies back and they were unable to get any closer if they wanted to.

“Wow… this bunch of people’s data strength sure is hard to predict…” Even Red Iron was in awe by what he saw. “They definitely should not be underestimated…”

At that moment, suddenly, a loud and insistent humming voice came from the western side of the battlefield. The voice came from far and was swiftly approaching. The Anomalies who surrounded the four from Brahman turned to look and they saw… a fire truck covered in strange yellow substance with a stranger exterior was rushing their way at a very high speed. There was a person hanging off the side of the truck (there is a pole by the side of the trick for a person to hang of off). From their code, this person was definitely an Anomaly.

“Madam, I am so sorry for being late!” Sharp Gale shouted at 23. He looked like he had got off quite well. Looks like his battle with Trevor did not injure him too much.

“Get down, it’s time to start.” Xiao Tan who was in the driver’s seat reminded him. Hearing that, Sharp Gale nodded at him and then leaped down from the truck and left the side of Golden Maggot No. 1.

“Battle Mode engaged.” Xiao Tan opened a glass box near the steering wheel and pressed a button that had the sign of a skeleton printed on it.

“Hmph… I have been waiting so long for this.” Matcha Cookie said eagerly. At that moment, the gun turret that she occupied was slowly rising into the air. Many control panels appeared around her and before her, stretched out a virtual control panel.

“What is… that thing…” Seeing this strange object that was coming their way, even ROOT revealed a confused expression. Obviously, in her calculated contingency, this fire truck was not part of any of it. But then again, this was completely normal because the thing that Musashi might have created… was a completely random thing. This depended on the timing when Feng Bujue summoned him and the tools that they had around them and more importantly, the mood that they were in. They were all related… and all those things were practically impossible to predict.

Tsk tsk bing bing…

While the group of people and anomalies were being stunned, a series of mechanically sound echoed and the fire truck… started to transform.

Dash! Dash! Dan-Dan-Da-Dan

Dash! Dash! Dan-Dan-Da-Dan

Dash! Dash! Dan-Dan-Da-Dan

While the truck was transforming, the siren at the top of the truck started to play this music…

This was a tune with a heavy beat, it sounded like it came from some kind of robot-themed anime. But the lyrics had been edited to fit the situation.

Scramble Dash!

I shed no tears (Da-da-da)

Because I am a robot, I am a machine (Da-da-da)

Yet I know of what friendship is about

Together we shall strike out evil

Super attack! Thunder Break

Together we shall defeat the forces of evil

Gold Typhoon! Whip up a storm

I am Gold—Golden Maggot Number One!

Following the music… the transformation was happening as planned and the presence was awe-inspiring. Many of the parts were changing and updating according to the rhythm…

Dash! Dash! Dan-Dan-Da-Dan

Dash! Dash! Dan-Dan-Da-Dan

Dash! Dash! Dan-Dan-Da-Dan

Scramble Dash!

I speak no words (Da-da-da)

Because I am a robot, I am a machine (Da-da-da)

Yet I know what justice is about

Together we shall preserve peace and stamp out evil

Super attack! Atomic Punch

Foes attack left and right, and I shall beat them all

Navel Missile! Bring forth a blast of fire.

I am Gold—Golden Maggot Number One!

When the song finished, the transformation was also completed. One saw a large and impressive looking battle robot with an earth yellow tone stood at the other end of the street with his hands placed around his waist. At that moment, all the market servers were covered in a veil of silence…

All the players and Anomalies on the battlefield were silent with shock. ROOT’s face was frozen in confusion, even she had no idea… why she would spend about 2 minutes and 20 seconds to watch a robot transformation sequence…

“This is so embarrassing…” Matcha Cookie’s seat had been moved to the chest of the robot. “I shall never show my face in the public in case they relate me to this monstrosity… if I die, I will die inside this thing.” Her face was red from shame. The shame that she felt was right from her core and it scoured her body.

“Ah! I don’t quite mind it myself…” Xiao Tan’s driving seat had been moved to the robot’s crotch…

“Hmm…” At that moment, ROOT said rather belatedly. “Can someone please go and deal with that piece of walking trash?” There was a reason for her to use that description. After all, from the view of the data, Golden Maggot Number One’s data was nothing too special. But this was where… ROOT showed her moment of carelessness. Because from the Anomaly’s perspective, they were unable to accurately access the data analysis of a created or a summoned creature. To put it simply, it was because they were made from a different set of code. Take for an example, you have an ipad, no matter how great it was, could it run 3.5 inches floppy disc, could it run contra with the game tape? Could it be used as an electric scale.

In conclusion, advanced did not always mean better.

“How dare she call Golden Maggot Number One a pile of trash!” That annoyed Xiao Tan. Through the loud speaker, he shouted. “You are ROOT, right? I am warning you! Golden Maggot Number One is very strong! Even though I can only control the movement of his legs but…”

“Why are we wasting time talking about such beeep! Stop it already! Have we not embarrassed ourselves enough already?” Matcha Cookie roared to cut him off. When the two argued, already 8 Anomalies surrounded the robot from all sides. Since ROOT had given her order, the Anomalies naturally followed her orders. They all made their moves and the blades, claws, lazers were all ready. Instantly, an energy tornado surrounded Golden Maggot Number One.

“hmph… Such innocence!” Matcha Cookie opened her arms and moved to the control panel. She was a player that had her fame rose from RTS games, her micro and macro managing skill was off the charts. Things that appeared complicated to others were incredibly easy for her. If anything, it felt like a warm up only. Matcha Cookie’s fingers flew over the keyboard and the light reflected from the virtual panel lit up her eyes. She mumbled. “Energy core normal, defensive system activating, balance is normal, weapons ready…”

Of course… what she said made no sense to Xiao Tan and it did not need to make sense to him. All Xiao Tan was responsible for was the ‘movement system’. Well, that was a better way of putting it, to put it more frankly… just like the situation with Fugu Gladiator 1, he was merely the manual labor that controlled the movement of the robot.

Pew pew pew pew pew

Instantly, shit-colored missiles shot out following some hilarious sound effect but they easily knocked back all the attacks from the Anomalies. The wall of energy was shattered in a second.

“Are the Federal pilots all monsters?” Vishnu had just been released from the whip looked at the robot and could not help but mock.

DI di di

“hmm?” At that moment, ROOT’s battle analysis page had a new warning that appeared. “Danger level… high?”
