Chapter 120: Deadly Jeopardy (4)
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
"Alright, thanks for your fairly proper comment, Young Master Pestilence . " Mr . Yu stretched his arm towards the big screen on the stage . "Let’s see the answer!"
Little Tan and Dispirited obviously didn’t hear any sounds from the recording studio . Moreover, they also didn’t see anything like cameras around them . No one knows how the images there could be recorded and streamed to the stage .
After gliding along the slide for a while, a clear, bright sky appeared in their vision . The sunlight had smashed down the darkness while the ambiance surrounding them became hotter . It felt like they had fallen down from a space crack .
This vast desert looked quite tranquil and peaceful . From the first glance, besides yellow sand, there was nothing else . No fairies, no animal bones, no rock . Not a single chance that there existed an oasis . The strangest thing was that there was no wind blowing in this spacious desert . Moreover, the place in front of their eyes was completely flat as they couldn't see any dunes in their vision .
"This sort of condition is very suitable for shooting . " Dispirited used her hand to shield her sight from the sun as she observed the place .
Little Tan was a little bit embarrassed as he smiled to her . "Hey… thanks for going with me . "
"Oh~ it’s okay . . . This is also a strategy . During a battle, if there are more fighters, the pressure can be shared . We should make use of it . Well, who asks you to be dull and fragile at the same time," Dispirited answered him with a begrudging tone while loosening her collar . She was wearing a special force uniform, and under such high temperature, of course, she felt really hot .
Little Tan didn't care about Dispirited’s assessment given to him since he knew she didn't mean it . "But, in this background, where will the opponent come from?" He lifted his head to see the shining sun hanging in the sky . No cloud was drifting on this spacious blue sky . The sunlight was so dazzling that they couldn’t open their eyes wide . "If it comes from the sky, will it be some sort of monsters like a giant black vulture?"

"If it goes that way, then if the monster comes from underground, will it be a giant bug?" Dispirited continued .
They all got it wrong . At this moment, in the studio, Mr . Yu was about to declare the answer . "It comes… from Cybertron… Desert! Ferocious! Tigeeeeerrr!"
The cheering from the audience echoed like a tsunami .
At the same time, the Desert Ferocious Tiger came into Little Tan and Dispirited’s vision .
It emerged from the horizon from afar, using an amazing speed to dash forward, leaving a big cloud of dust behind .
The Desert Ferocious Tiger appeared as a giant robot in a tiger shape . Its outer metal shells also had yellow and white stripes of tiger fur . Although it was still far away, Little Tan had seen this monster, or this Transformer to be exact . Its build wasn’t too big . He vaguely guessed that it would be around five or six meters after having transformed .
Bang——a gunshot resounded .
Little Tan turned around and saw that Dispirited had already laid down on the ground with her gun in her hands . Moreover, she was well prepared and even shot the first bullet out .
In such a bright and spacious arena, where no wind would affect the bullet trajectory, being a player specialized in shooting, if she didn’t do anything before the opponent approached them, certainly, she wasn’t qualified . Even if it couldn't end the fight from a far distance like that, she couldn’t let that huge lump of steel approach them safe and sound .
Under the best conditions for shooting, Dispirited determinedly aimed for the beast’s head and shot . Unfortunately, her first shot didn’t hit the target . Of course, the reason was because the Desert Ferocious Tiger was rapidly moving . If it had stayed still, under this favorable condition, with a normal sniper rifle, even if there were a player with Shooting Specialty Grade F, he could hit the target precisely .
"Really annoying . " Dispirited licked her lips and immediately got ready for the next shot . She pulled the trigger .

Bang——
The target this time was much closer, which she could see through her sniper scope, almost within reach . This time, her bullet hit the target .
Perhaps it was just a coincidence, or perhaps she was just lucky . She didn’t only hit the Desert Ferocious Tiger, but also hit it on the left eye, leaving a black hole on its head . When the bullet hit the tiger, it also sparked out . However, the Desert Ferocious Tiger wasn’t an organic creature as it was a robotic living form . So, such attack couldn't threaten its life .
Bang——the third shot .
After Dispirited had shot the third salvo, she didn’t care if it could hit the target or not . She immediately retrieved the sniper rifle, put it in her bag and took out an MP5 German submachine gun .
Although this gun was bought from a shop, its price was so costly . To players specialized in Shooting Specialty with a certain level, a submachine gun was a perfect choice at the early stage of the game—not more than 3 kilograms, fast speed, low recoil with high accuracy and fast reload . As an exquisite standard weapon, MP5 is reliable with excellent performance . For quite a long time, it’s still the first choice of some special forces in the world .
Da, da, da, da…
When the distance between them and the Desert Ferocious Tiger was not more than 30 meters, Dispirited started to fire her submachine gun . Although her third shot had hit the monster’s chest, the metal cover there was relatively thick . Her bullet couldn’t pierce through, leaving only a concave spot .
Little Tan also took his Winchester out and held it in front of his eyes . Although his heart was beating frantically and his hands were wet with sweat, he didn’t hurry to pull the trigger . After several scenarios, at least Little Tan had a certain understanding of his weapons . Now, he knew that the shotgun in his hands would perform best at a short distance . If the range was over 10 meters, even if the thing storming towards them now wasn’t a Transformer but a ragged armored tank, he couldn't even give it a scratch .
Bullets from the MP5 swept over the Desert Ferocious Tiger from the front; sparks flashed everywhere . However, it didn’t slow down the tiger at all . When it was roughly 10 meters away from the two players, its two hind legs flexed then the monster jumped up pretty high… The sun was covered, and a vigorous tiger shadow towered the sandy ground . During the short while of several seconds the Desert Ferocious Tiger was hovering in the air, its shadow on the ground had a dramatic change .
Apparently, the Desert Ferocious Tiger had transformed in midair . The tiger head was opened, leaving room for a robotic skull to emerge . The four legs of the beast had twisted and wiggled in odd angles before they contracted and extended again as robotic arms jutted out from the body . Tiger stripes appeared on its limbs like armor . The shot it got on the head now moved to a position that wouldn't harm it . It seemed that the tiger form was to enhance its speed and bear hits .
The whole transformation process looked very complicated, but soon, this jumping tiger had transformed into a robot fighter taller than six meters, coming towards the two players .
After the transformation was done, the robot spoke up . Its tone didn’t carry along any kind of emotion as the robotic voice arose, "Humans… obliterate… remodel…"

It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
