Chapter 8

The Transformer robot, which had turned into a powerful yellow car, consumed a lot of energy. The metal energy from the Test alloy was depleted in less than six hours.

Last night, Su Mo and the two aliens spent the night in the suburbs. Fortunately, the Sentinel could maintain its yellow car form; otherwise, they would have had to sleep on the street.

Perhaps because he was too excited yesterday, Su Mo didn't wake up until noon. As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, he was surprised to find that lunch was already prepared. It was made by Poseidon! The alien Poseidon could actually cook Sichuan cuisine! After a quick wash, Su Mo had lunch with the two aliens, praising the food non-stop.

"Poseidon, this twice-cooked pork is really authentic! Too bad you're not a woman!"

"Su, there's no rule that men can't love each other."

"Ha!"

Seeing Poseidon's flirtatious glance, Su Mo couldn't help but turn his head and spit, then decided not to mention Poseidon's gender again and warned himself not to discuss love with aliens. The breakfast was quite harmonious, with Poseidon cooking and Zeus washing the dishes. For a moment, Su Mo felt like he was floating above, like the father of the gods.

Zeus and Poseidon, two aliens who created Greek mythology, were now working for an Earthling, cooking and washing dishes for him!

Floating above, the father of the gods! That was how Su Mo felt at the moment.

After everything was settled, Su Mo and the two aliens began discussing how to recharge the Sentinel.

Poseidon suggested that there were many high-grade metals in the city of Shudu that the Sentinel could consume, but they were either in museums or in heavily guarded secret rooms. Poseidon recommended waiting until they were a bit stronger before using these high-grade metals.

Su Mo directly rejected this idea; he was a law-abiding citizen. However, if they could go to foreign museums or secret bases without being detected, that would be acceptable.

"Harassing other countries is our basic principle."

Poseidon and Zeus said in unison. Su Mo smiled, understanding that in the eyes of the two aliens, there was no concept of countries, at least not in the way Earthlings saw them. Poseidon and Zeus were just 'bought' by him by chance.

"There are many treasure spots in the suburbs of Shudu, but most of them contain ordinary metals like silver and gold, and the quantities are small, far from the level of Test alloy. Digging up buried silver and gold is not as good as directly raiding a bank. By the way, Su, the Sentinel can automatically connect to the internet. Its core is advanced enough, and it has already bonded with you. You can summon it whenever you need it."

Listening to Poseidon's introduction, Su Mo couldn't help but imagine a scene: an unmanned yellow car slowly driving towards him, with his classmates looking on in amazement. Hmm, that feeling.

"If I could have a sexy girlfriend like Megan, that would be even better..."

The problem of recharging was still not effectively solved. High-grade alloys were hard to come by. As for stealing electricity, they could only go abroad once a month. Moreover, after consuming bronze artifacts and Test alloy, the Sentinel's taste had become picky. Poseidon had experimented by placing a refrigerator in front of the Sentinel, but the Sentinel waved its hand, indicating it wouldn't eat the refrigerator. Apparently, the materials used to make the refrigerator were too low-grade.

"Let's take it slowly. We are still too weak. Otherwise, we could just fly to the moon and let the Sentinel eat those metals!" The discussion ended with Poseidon's sigh.

In the afternoon, Su Mo received a call from his sister. She said she would be back in a week, earlier than planned, and asked Su Mo to pick her up at the airport.

"Laundry, cooking, mopping, cleaning the toilet! Do everything before I get back! And there's a guy I don't like who wants to pick me up. Little brother, you better bring a nice car to save your big sister, got it?"

Su Mo's sister was extremely domineering, but her name was very delicate: Su Yan. By the way, Su Mo's sister wasn't his biological sister. He had overheard once that she was the daughter of his father's friend from many years ago. The friend had an accident and sent Su Yan to live with the Su family.

And she had been living with them for almost twenty years. Now, someone was pursuing his big sister, and to be honest, Su Mo was a bit annoyed. Why should anyone pursue his big sister? Of course, Su Mo had no other thoughts about his sister; he just felt that no one was good enough for her.

"I've decided. I'll have the Sentinel turn into a yellow car to pick up my big sister! A yellow car should be impressive enough! It's barely an entry-level sports car, but it looks cool enough!"

...

Seven days later, a bank robbery occurred in Shudu. Before the police arrived, the three robbers suddenly went crazy and committed suicide. No one noticed that the robbers' van had disappeared.

An hour after the incident, a yellow car left the city and headed for the airport. Su Mo wore sunglasses, his hands on the steering wheel, his body shaking slightly. This was the Sentinel's reaction to digesting the van. The van was too low-grade, and although it provided some energy, the Sentinel had some trouble digesting it.

"The Sentinel's taste is too picky; I can't afford to feed it," Su Mo complained. Although his hands were on the steering wheel, the Sentinel was actually driving itself, fully automatic, multifunctional, self-navigating, and self-driving. Of course, the Sentinel listened to Su Mo.

"Next time we go to America, we can find an abandoned car factory and let the Sentinel eat more. Once it eats more, it will get used to it and won't have digestion issues," Poseidon said with a smile from the back seat.

Su Mo shook his head, took his hands off the steering wheel, and checked his phone. At that moment, a passing Audi car owner glanced at Su Mo, saw him driving without hands, and gave him a look of disdain before speeding up and pulling ahead. Su Mo didn't care and leaned back comfortably, letting the Sentinel control the car.

Suddenly, the Sentinel-powered yellow car accelerated, the engine roaring, and in an instant, it overtook the Audi, leaving it far behind in just a few seconds.

"Good one! I'll remember this!" The Audi driver glared at the yellow car's rear and muttered.

Outside the airport, Su Mo saw his sister. He called her from inside the yellow car, telling her to come over.

"Right, it's the yellow car. See it? Just come over."

In the distance, Su Yan looked at the yellow car in surprise. She knew the family's financial situation; they were just a middle-class family, and her parents couldn't afford to buy a yellow car for this kid. Besides, she remembered that Su Mo didn't even have a driver's license! With doubt and surprise, Su Yan dragged her suitcase towards the yellow car.

"My sister is very beautiful, right?" Su Mo was introducing his sister to the two aliens.

"Only by Earthling standards," Poseidon smiled and glanced at Su Yan, while Zeus didn't even bother to look, as if Su Yan was an ugly person to them.

Su Yan approached, and just as Su Mo was about to open the car door, an Audi suddenly stopped nearby, and a somewhat annoying voice rang out.

"Yan Yan, I'm here to pick you up!"

Yan Yan? Su Mo looked at his sister in confusion. His sister's face was cold, and she looked at the middle-aged man getting out of the Audi. Yes, this guy was definitely not in his twenties but at least in his thirties. Su Mo remembered that this was the guy who had overtaken him earlier.

Was this guy pursuing his sister? He should look in a mirror; he wasn't good enough for her.

"Teacher Xue, this is my boyfriend. Bye." Su Yan smiled and pointed at Su Mo, then got into the passenger seat of the yellow car. Su Mo opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Su Yan.

Su Yan stared at Su Mo for ten seconds before looking away and examining the interior of the yellow car. "Little brother, not bad. Haven't seen you in a month, and you've won 5 million?"

"No, I borrowed the car from a friend."

"Do you have such a friend?"

"Yes."

Su Mo answered confidently, thinking, "Big sister, my two friends are sitting in the back, you just can't see them, but they are looking at you!"

"Who did you borrow it from?"

"Two alien friends."
