back to Earth

Cheng Zhen felt that this was not the first time he had experienced this feeling. He was clearly conscious, but his body could not move.This situation seems to have happened once a long time ago.

He thought about it carefully, and finally remembered.It was the time when he was awakened as a potential person after fighting with Leiber.The leap-like breakthrough made him almost exhausted all his strength. When he woke up, he found that he had been taken to the main ship of the Rhine.That was the first time he met the famous Emperor Rhine Bertutan of the Golden Clan.

"Hey? What a blessing this brat is. We've worked so hard here, yet he sleeps so comfortably. It's really annoying." A familiar voice faintly came from his ear, and the tone reminded Cheng Zhen A bad treatment team leader.

Cheng Zhen couldn't help but want to laugh, this is such a familiar dream.Even Reina's voice in the dream was exactly the same as that at that time.

"Hey! See if he laughed just now! Boy, don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up. I have a lot of things I want to ask you!"

Oh, Rainer is still the same, noisy, impulsive temper.

As Cheng Zhen thought about it, he suddenly felt his body was violently shaken a few times.On one side, there were someone's impatient urging and other people's exclamations.

"Captain! He hasn't fully recovered yet, how can you treat a patient so roughly!"

"Tch, what, he just suffered some mental shock, how could he be so fragile." Reina who was stopped said angrily.

"Really? If Lord Rhine comes in later and sees your rough behavior, and you can explain it calmly to him, I won't stop you."

"..." Without words, Reina obediently let go.

But Cheng Zhen's consciousness was completely awakened by what they said.

how?Isn't this a dream?Is he really lying somewhere now, receiving Reina's treatment?

What about fighting?What about Sean?And Rhine, his ambush plan...

Cheng Zhen was thinking anxiously, opening his eyes desperately, trying to pull himself out of this vague consciousness.

"Wake up, wake up! Be careful, the subject has just woken up, don't give him too much stimulation and noise." The people around saw the black-haired boy's flailing eyelashes, and rushed around. "The person over there, connect the instrument and observe his current data value."

"Get ready for the injection of meditation."

Amidst the chaos, there was also the voice of Reina gloating. "He woke up by himself, don't blame me."

"Captain! If you have time to chat here, you might as well come and help us, what do you think?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! I know! Help me, don't pull my ears!"

When Cheng Zhen was able to see the things in front of him clearly, he saw a middle-aged man with reddish eyes and rubbing his ears looking at him sadly.

"...Mr. Renner, what's wrong with you?" The black-haired boy couldn't laugh or cry.

"I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so estranged? Cheng Zhen, just call me Reina, I have always regarded you as a good brother, how can you be so good?" Reina laughed, and slapped Cheng hard with his big palm. Really shoulders.While subconsciously ignoring Cheng Zhen's question.

Looking at the "good brother" with a scruffy beard in front of him, Cheng Zhen was speechless.No matter how you look at it, Cheng Yuke is much better than this cheap brother.Whether it's appearance, age, or personality, Cheng Yu is superior.At this time, Cheng Zhen was very grateful that he had a good brother.

Of course, such words cannot be said in front of others, and Reina's little self-esteem must be taken into consideration.

"I... am in your treatment room?" Cheng Zhen frowned as he looked at the surrounding environment.Recently, he seems to always stay in this kind of place full of various instruments.

"Speaking of this, I still want to ask you, kid, what did you eat to grow up!" Reina stared at Cheng Zhen up and down with his big eyes. "When I saw you for the first time, you broke through and became a potential person. When I saw you again this time, you actually broke through again. Master Rhine said that you have half a foot into the threshold of the emperor! Good job, Boy!"

Renner said with a smile. "If you can become the youngest emperor class in history, you will definitely slap those people who have always looked down on us! Give them a head-on blow! Ah, I'm looking forward to that day now. Cheng Really, you try to give me more strength!"

After talking enthusiastically for a long time, Lei Na went to observe Cheng Zhen's expression again, only to find that the black-haired boy stood there blankly.

"...You, what did you just say?" Cheng Zhen asked in surprise. "Emperor level? Me? Impossible?"

It's not that he belittled himself, but that Cheng Zhen knew his own strength.Although it is considered a slight improvement, it is still far from the emperor-level strength in his mind.Not long ago, the fight against Rhine in Stormwind Fortress made Cheng Zhen understand what real emperor-level strength is.That is definitely an invincible power that can defeat a hundred with one.

Applying such an emperor-level standard to himself, Cheng Zhen just felt that it was so unreal.

"I didn't say this. He said it himself when Lord Rhine brought you over. If you have any questions, you can just ask Lord Rhine. Hey! Wait, what's wrong with you? What? Your face is so red, do you have a fever?"

Gently waving away the hand that Reina stretched out to touch his forehead, Cheng Zhen coughed a few times, and said awkwardly. "No, it's just a momentary distraction."

"Oh, what's wrong?" Reina said with a serious face. "Why do you lose your temper when you hear that Lord Rhine is hugging you? No, this psychological quality is not enough!"

"Cough cough! Cough!" Cheng Zhen glared at Reina who was pretending to be serious from embarrassment. "Reina—"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." He raised his hands in surrender, and the captain of the bad treatment laughed. "The relationship between you and Master Rhine is beyond our control. Just prepare yourself mentally."

"There is no special relationship between me and Lord Rhine!" Cheng Zhen retorted with a red face.

"Why are you so excited without you? Why are you blushing?"

"I, I was born! Can't I have a ruddy complexion!?" Cheng Zhen was embarrassed and couldn't choose what to say.

"Ha..." Reina suppressed a smile, "Okay, okay! Even if you face each other, it's fine, as long as Master Rhine doesn't mind."

"What do I mind?"

A cool voice came.

The two people who were arguing froze. After a while, Cheng Zhen slowly turned around and looked around.

Rhine was leaning at the door, holding his fists together and looking at the two people who were fighting, his eyes were peaceful without any waves.

Cheng Zhen was very embarrassed, he didn't know how much Reina's joke was heard by Rhine just now, so he must not let him misunderstand.

Lai looked at the two people who had calmed down, his eyes swept over Cheng Zhen's right hand that was holding Lei Na's sleeve.Cheng Zhen felt his hairs stand on end, and immediately put his hands down.

"Is your body already healed?"

"En." Cheng Zhen nodded. "I don't feel any discomfort anymore, I think I should have fully recovered."

"You've exhausted your energy too much. Even if you recover, you have to recuperate slowly." Rhine disagreed. "At least for three days, you can no longer drive the mecha."

"..." Opening his mouth, Cheng Zhen wanted to say something, but finally remained silent.In fact, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, he had finally mastered a new state, and he still wanted to practice a few more times in actual combat.Unexpectedly, they were ordered to ban mechas for three days.

Rhine didn't notice the slight loss of the black-haired boy, and turned around to ask Reina. "Has the work of the treatment team been done?"

Feeling the inexplicable pressure, Reina stood at attention and answered solemnly. "Yes, the recent physical information about Cheng Zhen has been collected and analyzed in detail."

"En." Rhine nodded. "Then I'll take him away first, do you have any objection?"

Renner didn't dare to refute, saying yes again and again.

Lately Mrs. Rhine has gotten into some trouble recently, and she especially likes to end conversations with a questioning tone.However, the subordinates who have always been accustomed to the dictatorship of the Rhine dare not say that they have any objections.Rather, Rhine, who was expressionless and asked them if they had any opinions, made people feel even more oppressed!

Cheng Zhen followed Rhine and left the treatment room, neither of them spoke again.For some reason, Cheng Zhen felt a little embarrassed about this familiar silence.

Looking at Rhine's tall and straight back in front of him, Cheng Zhen thought about what Reina had just teased him, and when he thought about it, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.

I don't know how long this silence lasted, until the two of them walked to Rhine's office, Cheng Zhen quietly let out a sigh.

"There's someone who wants to see you."

Rhine, who was walking ahead alone, suddenly spoke.

Cheng Zhen was surprised. "I?!"

"It's you, or rather, it's not you." Rhine said something meaningful, and said slowly. "He's looking for Gals."

Rhine reached out and pushed open the metal door in front of them.

A familiar figure stood inside the house, and when he heard the door open, he immediately turned around happily.However, after seeing the person coming, there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

Cheng Zhen is unbelievable. "Li Yang? Why is he here?"

Rhine smiled lowly.

"This person came to find you, and at the same time, he also brought us a very important piece of information."

Following the laughter, Cheng Zhen trembled slightly.His previous experience told him that seeing Rhine smiling is already extremely rare, but now this paralyzed man actually laughed out loud!

Is the world about to end again?

Unaware of Cheng Zhenxin's surprise, Rhine quickly restrained her expression and walked towards the people who were waiting for them indoors.

"This is..." Li Yang was puzzled, looked at Rhine, and then at Cheng Zhen behind him. "Your Majesty, I want to ask you to help me find my lost companions from the Vail tribe, why—?"

"He's the one you're looking for." Rhine interrupted his questioning, signaling Cheng Zhen with his eyes.

Sighing softly, Cheng Zhen took a step forward and changed into Gals' voice.

"As you can see, Li Yang, this is my true appearance."

Li Yang's eyes widened. "You are Jia, Gals? How come, you are so strong, how can you be human like me!?"

Cheng Zhen frowned slightly when he heard his words.

"Why is it impossible? It's not just me. In fact, there are many strong people among our compatriots. Not just fighting in mechs, but in many ways." Thinking of Sean again, Cheng Zhen's eyes were complicated.

"And why, do you think it's impossible?"

The confidence and determination in the black-haired boy's eyes made Li Yang feel a little stinging for a while, as if his eyes had revealed the comfort he had been deceiving for a long time.

No, you can't do it!Everyone thinks so, you're just a human being, it's okay if you can't do it.

Li Yang has been deceiving himself in this way all along.But until today, someone opened up his false wound and told him clearly.

nothing is impossible!Humans can be great too.

Li Yang's eyes darkened.No, the black-haired boy pretending to be Garth might not be the first one. Not long ago, there was also a human standing in front of him, showing an unruly smile.Tell him there is nothing wrong with humans!

Remembering the main purpose of coming here, Li Yang raised his head, stared at the two people in front of him seriously, and said slowly.

"I, I'm here, except to see Gals..."

"Cheng Zhen." Cheng Zhen smiled. "That's my real name."

Li Yang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled back and continued. "In addition to wanting to see Cheng Zhen, what's more important is that there is a crucial piece of news that I feel must be told to you."

He said, took a deep breath, and said in a very cautious tone.

"It's about the origins of our species, a distant fairytale..."
