—The name is only a code. It’s not important what I’m called. What’s important is what I’ll do.
The Autobot who had said such words previously broke his promise for the first time in his life.
Moreover, he felt some negative emotions toward his father.
Therefore, Invincible Iron Bull’s suggestion became Invincible Li Kui.
Then, it became Invincible Black Whirlwind.
When the Autobot protested that it was not black at all, it turned into Invincible Little Whirlwind.
Then, it became Invincible Chai Jin.
“Father…”
There was a trace of exhaustion and helplessness in the Autobot’s voice. “Are you teasing me?”
Kang De sat on a rock at the side and looked up with a smile, “I thought you would always be calm and have the disposition of a general. It’s fine to show your emotions a little.”
“Father, to be honest, I’ve learned something from you these past few days.”
Kang De raised his eyebrows and said, “…For example?”
The Autobot said seriously, “For example, swearing.”
“…”
Kang De looked at it a few times and thought that since this fellow had transformed into a car, there must be horns and stereos. If he was willing, he would definitely become a troll.
He immediately stopped and raised his hands, indicating that the joke was over.
“Choose a name yourself.”
He counted with his fingers and said, “Optimus Prime, Megatron, Solus Prime, Rodimus Prime, Galvatron…”
“If you want to take my surname, you can be Kang Shifu. Otherwise, you can try Kang Na. Including Old Wang, you can try Kang Wang. Let me think, Kangxi… Forget it, it’s too f*cking embarrassing…”
—The Autobot’s decorative eyebrows furrowed.
The first few names were really good, but later on, they slowly deviated.
“Optimus Prime… Megatron…”
He repeated these two names, his purple eyes flashing.
“No, this is not my name. This is not me.”
It slowly said, “I can sense the temperament of these two people from these two names, but that’s not me. I don’t want to prop up the collapsed sky for an unfamiliar world, nor am I interested in using strength and death to threaten and rule… To this world, I’m not a guardian or an invader. I’m only a tourist searching for the meaning of life on the journey…”
Kang De whispered, “Heavenly Traveler?”
“…It’s a little strange.” The Autobot sighed. “Alright, Father, it’s my fault. In the end, names are the imprint left in this world, the engraving of faith and life…”
“…You just said that the name is only a code.”
The Autobot ignored him.
He continued, “It’s a little difficult for Father to name me, who has just been born. I think it’s better for me to do it myself… After I comprehend my life and this world.”
Kang De revealed a regretful expression, “…Then before you think of a name, what should I call you?”
The Autobot subconsciously said, “As you like.”
Kang De shouted, “Iron Bull!”
The Autobot was silent for a moment before saying, “…Father, I’m going to curse. Moreover, I’ll use my enhanced surround stereo to say it.”
Kang De looked shocked. “You actually want to scold me!”
The Autobot said indifferently, “You scolded me first.”
After talking for a long time, they finally reached a consensus.
Before the Autobot decided what it was called, Kang De could call it “Hey”, “Hummer”, “Son”, “Autobot”, “Optimus”, or “Mega”.
—Iron Bull was definitely not allowed.
As for Optimus and Mega…
“It’s Optimus Prime and Megatron. I know you don’t like these two names because they’re not like you, but have you ever heard of things like alternate accounts? When people drift into the martial world, they have to have a few aliases. When you want to do something more saintly, you can call yourself Optimus Prime. When you want to kill and set fire, you can call yourself Megatron. Let me tell you, this is very interesting…”

Just like that, he confusedly convinced the Autobot.
“And…”
The matter of the name temporarily came to an end. The Autobot and Kang De had also agreed to act together. It touched its stomach and said, “Father, I’m hungry.”
“…Then, can I call you something else?”
Kang De said in a subtle tone, “I’m only in my early twenties and feel a little happy to be a father. I feel a little awkward if you call me father… How about changing the way you address me?”
The other party rejected solemnly, “Please get used to it. A father is a father. You’re my creator.”
“…Forget it.”
Seeing that the other party was very insistent, Kang De did not pester him anymore. “Hungry? What do you want to eat?”
He immediately thought of this. That’s right, where did the energy of the Autobot come from?
“I have to eat a lot.”
The Autobot counted with his fingers and said, “Gasoline, lubricant, metal, ammunition, and white fog…”
“…Wait, forget about the white fog. I can barely understand the gasoline. What’s wrong with the others?”
The Autobot said helplessly, “The white fog is a necessity. Although I don’t know why I need it or how my body deals with it, I know that I do need it. Gasoline is used to assist in energy supply and daily use in the form of a car. As for metal and ammunition…”
It raised its hands and ejected the empty rocket launcher and a few barrels. “They need to be replenished.”
“…Hey!”
Kang De glared at him and said, “Won’t your rockets and bullets grow out by themselves?”
The Autobot looked even more confused than him. “How can I grow rockets, armor-piercing bullets, metal shells, and high explosives out of thin air?”
Kang De was shocked, “…Where can I find ammunition with a suitable caliber for you?”
The father and son looked at each other for a moment. The Autobot was a little ashamed and whispered, “The raw materials are fine too. I can try to process them myself.”
“…I can’t get the raw materials either.”
What a joke. He did not dare to have any designs in reality. If he dared to do those things, he would be arrested.
As for the white fog world—Tsk, which ammunition factory opened in the city? Which factory had houses and land to sell nearby? If he tried to buy them, the National Security Bureau would treat him to tea.
“If there’s really no other way…”
The Autobot’s gaze landed on the pistol on the outside of Kang De’s right leg. “Father, can such small-caliber ammunition be provided? I can try to break it down and recast it…”
When Kang De heard this, he perked up. “Do you want a smaller caliber?”
“As long as there’s a launching agent, it’s fine.”
Therefore, Kang De nodded and said, “Alright, there are many of those things.”
The Autobot heaved a sigh of relief like a human, “That’s good… Father, I’m sorry. I was too impulsive earlier and exhausted most of my ammunition. If I don’t replenish it, my combat strength will decrease by at least 40 to 50%. If I have ammunition and metal to replenish, I can reassemble and forge large-caliber bullets. Although the number is limited and the quality is not good, it can still be used in battle. My combat strength will increase by 10 to 20%…”
It raised the rocket launch nest on its left arm, “However, we can’t replenish powerful weapons. In order to ensure our combat strength, we have to think of a way to resolve this problem. There’s a solution in the short term. For example, the gas tank bomb from before has been modified by Father. It’s powerful and can be used.”
“As for the long-term plan… It’s best to find ready-made powerful weapons and ammunition. I can transform it into a small ammunition loading platform, but that’s only a simple process. I need blueprints, knowledge, and raw materials to further upgrade…”
Kang De thought for a moment and nodded. “I understand. I’ll think of a way.”
He said, “How about this? I’ll go back and find something useful for you. Wait here. In addition, you don’t have time to deal with the two captives yet. Interrogate and scare them first. Remember not to kill them. I’ll interrogate them later… Come, I’ll teach you a few words of the other world’s language. When the time comes, ask like this. Remember to record the image with the car recorder, understand?”
The Autobot nodded and said, “I understand.”
Kang De instructed and investigated the surroundings. After confirming that there was no problem, he activated his ability and returned to the white fog world. The Autobot watched Kang De leave before turning around.
The two captives who had been knocked unconscious earlier had been casually thrown aside when he transformed. At this moment, they were lying on the ground unconscious. The Autobot reached out, grabbed one, and casually threw him onto a huge rock.
The intense pain woke the captive from his coma.
He blinked. Before he could recall his previous encounter, he saw a large metal face approaching him. The steel giant punched the stone beside him, sending rubble flying. Those eyes shone with a dangerous red light as the violent voice suppressed it.
“Crawling worm! Scum! Pathetic maggot!”
The terrifying steel giant roared, “Answer my question! Who are you serving?! Hurry up and say it! Otherwise, I’ll crush you! I’ll stuff you into my mouth and chew fiercely until your flesh and blood fly!”
