"Sima Chuan, what should we do? How about we leave? That person is too powerful; we won't win," Shang Qiong said as she rushed to Sima Chuan's side, concern etched on her face.
"Ha ha," Sima Chuan chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Liu Chuan and the others soon joined Sima Chuan. Their attitude was completely opposite to that of Shang Qiong; they were united in their belief that they had to beat the arrogant Lai Liqing into submission. After all, if they could make him unrecognizable even to his own mother, it would only be logical—after all, he might as well have never had a mother, merely being a fragment separated from Sima Chuan.
Sima Chuan walked up to Luo Mengqi, smiling at her as he said softly, "I remember now."
Upon hearing that Sima Chuan had regained his memory, Luo Mengqi nearly jumped for joy. "Let's go out and celebrate! We should have some fun." Liu Chuan and the others were equally thrilled and rushed toward the door.
Meanwhile, Wei Mingjie, lying on the ground, was not so happy; he was on the verge of tears. He grumbled inwardly, "Sima Chuan, everyone is overjoyed because you regained your memory. Why did I get nothing for helping you? I even risked my life and got seriously injured for you. Why does no one come to check on me? It's so unfair!"
"Wait," Sima Chuan quickly interrupted their eager ambitions. "We still have an injured person here; we need to take care of that first." He pointed at Wei Mingjie lying on the ground. Wei Mingjie felt a surge of joy—finally, someone noticed him! However, Shang Qiong's next words crushed his spirits completely. Ignoring Wei Mingjie entirely, she looked at the damaged wall and said, "Oh no, the wall is broken! What are we going to do? Grandpa is going to be so mad at me. By the way, Sima Chuan, can you help me later?"
Hearing Shang Qiong's words, Sima Chuan nodded. "Sure."
Luo Mengqi was not pleased with this. "Hey, whoever you are, why does your broken wall concern my Sima Chuan? If you have a problem, go deal with it yourself."
Shang Qiong immediately retorted, "What do you mean 'hey'? I have a name! Unlike some people who lack basic manners—I really don't know how she was raised. And do you think Sima Chuan is just an object? Just because you want him doesn't mean he belongs to you; does he have your mark on him or something?"
"You brat! You're such a brat! You... hmph!" Shang Qiong was so infuriated by Luo Mengqi that she didn't even know how to respond.
"Alright, you two stop arguing. Let's focus on treating Wei Mingjie first," Sima Chuan hurriedly intervened to stop their quarrel; if they continued bickering like this, who knew when it would end?
However, when everyone's attention turned back to Wei Mingjie, he had already leaped up and stood before Sima Chuan with an annoyed look at Luo Mengqi and Shang Qiong. "Do you two just love to argue? Don't forget that Sima Chuan has important things to do! By the time you're done bickering, someone could have already passed away! Luckily I'm not an ordinary person; I can recover on my own. Otherwise, a seriously injured patient and a great hero would be lost! And hey, since you're both girls, at least pay attention to your image!" Wei Mingjie kept talking more and more exaggeratedly until everyone except Sima Chuan had walked away.
"Alright, that's enough," Sima Chuan waved his hand dismissively.
"I'm not doing anything, what's wrong?" Wei Mingjie looked at Sima Chuan with a puzzled expression.
"I was asking how you became a Mechanical Warrior and what your purpose is for being here."
"Oh, that matter. I guess I just got lucky. I was sleeping at the doorstep of Sade Sage's house when he took me in. But you know I like my freedom, so I turned him down. However, he asked me to help him with an experiment that could make me stronger. After thinking it over for a while, I agreed, and then I fused with this yellow Mechanical Warrior."
"You just agreed to it so carelessly?"
"Not really. I thought it through; I figured that eventually, I could live my good life. I even wanted to find you, but it turns out you're even more impressive than I am! Not bad, not bad—you're going places." Wei Mingjie patted Sima Chuan on the shoulder.
"Stop messing around and get to the point."
"Oh..." Wei Mingjie elongated his tone, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I'm here to assist you."
"I see. Where's Qiong?"
"He should be coming soon. It seems Sage assigned him something important regarding you."
"Important for me?" Sima Chuan was confused.
"Let's wait for him! In the meantime, let's go have some fun; it's been a while since things have been this lively."
Just as Sima Chuan and the others were discussing going out to play, a Hoverboard sped towards them from the sky. Sima Chuan appeared very happy because he felt a special emotion coming from it. Luo Mengqi and Wei Mingjie looked on knowingly, while Liu Chuan and his companions appeared tense.
When the Hoverboard rushed towards Sima Chuan and the others, it suddenly stopped. Then, the Hoverboard began to descend and transformed into a Robot before finally taking on the appearance of a young boy. Just as the boy was about to speak, Liu Chuan and his fellow disciples surrounded him. The boy looked at Sima Chuan in confusion and asked, "Chuan, what's wrong? Did Lai Liqing and the others come by?"
Sima Chuan nodded lightly and then said to Liu Chuan and the others, "No need to be nervous; he's my brother—he's the real deal. The one earlier was fake; there's no need for anyone to worry."
Liu Chuan had intended to say something, but upon seeing Sima Chuan's extremely serious expression, he slowly stepped aside.
Sima Chuan and Qiong faced each other, occasionally sharing a faint smile. For them, the most important thing was whether the other was doing well; that was what truly mattered. Qiong could clearly see that Sima Chuan had been very happy during this time spent here.
"Did Wei Mingjie, the Sage, assign you some tasks regarding me?"
"Yes."
"What are they?"
"There is a battleship from our DR-5 planet on Earth, and it is located on this island."
"You mean the battleship is right here in Fucheng?"
"Yes."
"Once we finish dealing with everything here, we will start searching for the battleship and then head to DR-5." Qiong's tone carried a hint of excitement.
"Is it happening so soon?" Sima Chuan thought for a moment and understood. Given that they were currently thwarting Nai's plans, it made sense that they would accelerate their efforts to resolve things as quickly as possible.
When Liu Chuan and the others heard about the alien battleship, their minds went blank before they began to discuss it fervently.
"What? There's an alien battleship, and it's right here with us?"
"Yeah, it's right here! We're so lucky!"
"I want to go find the battleship!"
"Can you find it?"
"I might have gotten lucky and found it after a long search."
"This isn't something that can be achieved by luck; the Battleship won't just appear in front of you for no reason."
"Wait, did he just find the Battleship and return to their DR-5 planet? Is he an alien?" Liu Feng interjected during their conversation. Suddenly, the atmosphere turned quiet.
Qiong smiled lightly and said, "I'm not an alien, just a Robot. Didn't Sima Chuan tell you?"
Liu Feng and the others stared blankly at Sima Chuan.
Sima Chuan briefly explained the situation, while Liu Chuan and the others listened in confusion. In this era, their technology allowed them to develop resources in space and travel freely among the stars, but connecting with another planetary civilization still posed some challenges. Now, they realized just how close they were to extraterrestrial beings.
"So how do we go about finding the Battleship?" Liu Feng asked. Qiong had no answer and simply turned her gaze toward Sima Chuan. Liu Chuan and the others followed her lead and looked at Sima Chuan as well.
Sima Chuan pointed at himself in bewilderment.
"Me?"
