"I'll buy it."
Yang Tao pulled a wad of US dollars from his pocket and slapped it on the roof of the Bumblebee.
This money was exchanged from gold in "Spider-Man." You could say the numbers don't add up, but you absolutely couldn't say it was fake.
However, according to the way US dollars are issued, the Federal Reserve wouldn't even notice an extra one or two hundred million US dollars.
Inflation?
Other smaller countries would naturally bear the brunt.
Sam felt a pang of heartache for some reason, but after glancing at the car door Yang Tao had thrown on the ground, he could only silently get out of the car.
The owner Bobby, upon seeing the cash, moved with a speed comparable to teleportation to Yang Tao's side, saying with a smile, "Hey, brother, I can tell you're a man of taste..."
"Now, take your money and get away from my car!"
"Of course."
Bobby stuffed the money into his pocket, then looked at Sam and said, "Hey, Sam, come over here."
Patting a 'battered' car beside him, he said, "How about this one? For 3800, you can own your own car."
Sam's expression was like he'd eaten dirt, but Yang Tao could understand his feelings. It was like your family said they'd buy you a phone, and you originally imagined they'd buy you an iPhone, or at worst, a Pixel.
Who knew your family would take you to a second-hand shop and buy a Nokia 100 that was only two years younger than you?
However, Yang Tao thought this was also good.
If Sam bought a million-dollar luxury car, his future life would only consist of chasing girls and street racing.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Yang Tao turned the key, and the car made a starting sound, but showed no intention of actually starting.
With the idea of teasing Bumblebee, Yang Tao placed his hand on the rearview mirror.
"As a car, if you can't drive, then I'll dismantle you and sell your parts..."
Just then, the car's radio suddenly turned on by itself, but the sound was nothing but static.
With a slight pull, Yang Tao tore off the rearview mirror, which was adorned with a disco ball.
The radio's sound abruptly stopped.
At this moment, he seemed to be able to see Bumblebee's bewildered expression.
He didn't know if Bumblebee was worried about attracting the Decepticons' attention, but it still didn't reveal its identity.
Gently gripping the glittering disco ball, Yang Tao murmured softly, "If you still don't start, then I'll have to dismantle the steering wheel."
He turned the key again.
The car roared, and a thick plume of smoke billowed from its exhaust, as if someone had thrown a black smoke bomb.
Yang Tao's lips curved slightly upward. As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. This Bumblebee also understood what it meant to endure humiliation.
However, he and Bumblebee both knew that the real beginning would be when they were alone.
At that time, either he would convince Bumblebee, or Bumblebee would convince him.
But Yang Tao felt that his 'eloquence' was quite strong, and dealing with a Bumblebee wouldn't be a problem.
To be fair, the camaro belongs to the traditional American muscle car category. Leaving aside other aspects, the engine sound is indeed good.
He stepped on the accelerator, and the car quickly drove out of the used car market.
However, being unfamiliar with the area, he didn't know where would be suitable to talk with Bumblebee, so he could only drive the car towards a secluded area.
As for the transfer of ownership, the only thing he and Bumblebee had in common was that they were both undocumented, so it was likely they would never be able to transfer ownership in this lifetime.
As they moved further away from the city, the surroundings became increasingly desolate. Yang Tao, sitting in the driver's seat, had now completely let go of the steering wheel and was leisurely reclining in the seat.
'This smart driving completely surpasses any intelligent driving system...'
After leaving the city, Bumblebee directly took over the driving. Although he didn't know what it wanted to do, Yang Tao was happy to be at leisure.
Soon, Bumblebee turned into a forest, stopped the car, and opened the door. Yang Tao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was ejected from the driver's seat.
The moment he was ejected, Yang Tao adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the ground.
A sound of mechanical friction began, and the classic Autobots transformation started. Bumblebee stood upright, and the crackling radio sound started again:
"Human, if... you... cause trouble... again, I... will make... you... regret it."
Bumblebee's throat was attacked by the Decepticons when it landed on Earth, causing its vocal system to be destroyed.
Now, it can only communicate by intercepting radio signals.
Yang Tao's lips curved slightly upward when he heard Bumblebee's words. Looking at the lush trees around him, he prepared to subtly show off a bit.
"Bumblebee, what do you think of the surrounding environment?"
Seeing Yang Tao, who was not surprised or scared by its transformation in the slightest, Bumblebee extended its broad metal palm and scratched its head.
"Very... good!"
"Then... when in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
As his words fell, Yang Tao had already charged towards Bumblebee, and a huge cleaver had appeared in his hand.
Although Bumblebee was somewhat confused by the words Yang Tao spoke, its reaction speed was still very fast. It immediately raised its hand and transformed, and a machine gun appeared on its arm.
Bang bang...
The Battlesign perfectly withstood Bumblebee's attack and, without activating the data-based attack's counter-damage, caused some cracks to appear on Bumblebee's body.
"You are... what I... paid for!!"
An ender pearl hit the side of Bumblebee, and Yang Tao's figure appeared at the ender pearl's landing spot. The broad and sharp cleaver heavily struck Bumblebee's arm.
The cleaver cut through the transformed machine gun, but it couldn't cut through Bumblebee's arm like it would cut through an Entity.
'Not sharp enough...'
Attacks that haven't started datafication are like this; everything is calculated according to reality. If it can cut, it cuts. If it can't, it can only get stuck in the target.
Bumblebee extended its other hand and quickly grabbed Yang Tao's body. However, in an instant, the cleaver that had been stuck in its arm, to its astonished expression, passed through its arm without causing any damage and struck its palm.
"Human... how... could... you..."
"Bumblebee, taste the joy of dual blades!!"
Yang Tao felt his blood boiling at this moment. Fighting Bumblebee was like walking on a tightrope; he never knew when he might get shot.
A new cleaver, as if carved from the same mold, replaced the Battlesign in Yang Tao's hand and heavily stabbed into Bumblebee's oil drain pipe.
He couldn't help it; this was the most convenient place for him to cut at the moment.
Puff...
The cleaver pierced in more than thirty centimeters, and some yellow liquid flowed down the blade.
He immediately activated datafication mode to prevent the liquid from dripping onto the ground.
Using his double jump ability, he leaped high and summoned his magic broom for assistance, directly landing on top of Bumblebee's head.
After stabbing the cleaver a few centimeters into Bumblebee's neck, he said, "Enduring hardship and humiliation is not a disgrace; being able to bend and stretch is the mark of a true man."
"Bumblebee, are you willing to cooperate with me now?"
