Chapter 644: Chapter 336: Won the Divine Move, Lost the Armor Fusion_2

"Even if I’m just scraping by, I still want a hero title for kicks..."

Just as he finished speaking, the Special Rescue Team’s designated phone rang.

"Captain Zhang Yida, there’s an abnormality causing trouble on Hualong Street, please head to the scene immediately."

Zhang Yida froze, "Uh, Command, I’m currently undercover at Love Apartment. Hualong Street is too far—I won’t make it in time!"

"No problem, prepare yourself. We’ll teleport you there right away."

"Wait, what? Teleport..." Zhang Yida was still in a dazed state.

Suddenly, a golden beam of light descended from above, landing directly onto Zhang Yida in the apartment.

"Wait, give me a sec to change clothes first..."

...

Hualong Street, a sparse construction site.

A golden light descended, revealing Zhang Yida dressed in a short-sleeve shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.

The team members waiting at the site couldn’t help but shake their heads upon seeing him.

Somehow this lucky son-of-a-gun actually became captain. Truly, fairness doesn’t exist in the world.

"Captain, are you ready? The abnormality is hiding somewhere around the construction site."

"Huh? Ready? Ready for what?" Zhang Yida wiped some crumbs of chips from the corner of his mouth, his eyes blank.

The team members were speechless. One opened a briefcase and buckled a golden belt around Zhang Yida’s waist.

"Captain, it’s up to you now."

Another member spoke as their tablet vibrated, showing a red dot rapidly approaching on the screen.

"This isn’t good, the abnormality is heading our way. Hide!"

Everyone grew alarmed, scattering quickly to hide in the corners of the construction site, leaving the bewildered Zhang Yida alone.

"Hey, hey, wait, take me with you! It’s my first time, I’m really scared..."

Panicked, Zhang Yida scanned the eerily silent surroundings, sweat forming on his forehead.

"I... I... how do I transform again?" He was exceptionally nervous, unable to recall the four activation words in the critical moment.

"Crack crack crack..."

Suddenly, sounds of disturbance came from underground. The unfinished cement floor began to bulge, nearing Zhang Yida at rapid speed.

"Bang!!"

Several Light Energy Bullets fired precisely, striking the bulging cement ground. With a roar, the cement exploded, revealing a humanoid monster covered in scale armor. Razor-sharp claws extended, slashing through the void to create gray claw shadows.

"Captain, watch your six..."

"What..."

Zhang Yida instinctively turned around, only to see the menacing, murderous aura rushing in.

In this life-or-death moment, Zhang Yida’s mind suddenly cleared.

"Energy, activate!"

He lightly slapped the energy box on his waist, which immediately split open. Mysterious golden energy swept across his entire body.

"Buzz..."

"Boom..."

The overwhelming energy formed a protective shield. The humanoid monster screeched in pain as it was thrown backward, smashing several cement pillars in the process.

Amid the brilliant golden light, a red-gold figure slowly appeared, exuding a terrifying aura that left the hidden team members trembling.

"This is the Golden Armor Warrior... so powerful..."

"Powerful, yes, but uh... the looks—well, maybe it’s just our aesthetic standards being off."

"No worries, you’ll get used to it."

"Stop chatting! Cover the captain so he can deal with the abnormality!"

"Yes, sir!"

Instantly, a barrage of Light Energy Bullets illuminated the night sky. The scale armor monster roared furiously, baring teeth and claws as it lunged at the golden silhouette.

"Hey, cut it out! I didn’t attack you first, why are you chasing me!"

Terrified by the monster’s horrifying appearance, Zhang Yida bolted, running faster than a speeding car.

"Roooar!!"

The scale armor monster let out an enraged howl and pursued him without hesitation. The man and the monster soon disappeared into the construction site, leaving the team members staring in disbelief.

...

West House Chess Hall.

Under the light, Li Zhao stared at the black-and-white chessboard before him, his sharp, handsome features etched with deep thought.

In his eyes, the chessboard seemed like two playful black-and-white fish swimming in harmony, although beneath the surface lay turbulent waves and murderous intent.

Yet no matter how he pondered his strategy, he couldn’t make the white fish consume the black fish to win this ancient puzzle.

In his mind, a hazy figure appeared.

"The Divine Move is elusive; throughout the ages, only a rare few have truly understood its mysteries.

Li Zhao, to comprehend the Divine Move, you must confront your heart.

Ask yourself, what is more critical in your world right now—the Divine Move, or... her..."

The figure vanished, and Li Zhao snapped back to reality. Subconsciously glancing at his platinum wristwatch, he fell into deep thought.

Divine Move—am I truly unworthy of it?

"Bang..."

Suddenly, an abrupt disturbance erupted; the room’s stone wall shattered as a red-gold figure crashed heavily onto the ground, buried beneath rubble and cement.

"Ow ow ow... my back..."

Zhang Yida clawed his way out of the rubble, clutching his lower back as he slowly stood up. His eyes then spotted Li Zhao calmly sitting in the corner.

"Uh... sorry, I didn’t mean to do that."

Feigning a stretch, Zhang Yida awkwardly smiled.

Li Zhao nodded coolly, "No problem, just pay for the damages later."

He blew dust off the chessboard and continued pondering his strategy.

Zhang Yida scratched his head, feeling puzzled.

What’s up with this guy? Doesn’t he realize I’m in transformation mode?

No sense of awe... Wait, crap, I forgot about the monster.

A chill ran down Zhang Yida’s spine just as he made a move to leave.

"Roar..."

Suddenly, the ground shifted violently, the floor bursting apart as the scale armor monster lunged out, grabbing Zhang Yida for a tussle.

"Hey hey hey, no biting, no biting! Fight fists-only, you scumbag..."

Amid Zhang Yida’s agonized screams, Li Zhao rose with a flicker of anger, his gaze sharp as knives.

Looking down, he saw his chessboard disrupted by the chaos.

"Making me lose my game? You’re dead!"

Li Zhao gritted his teeth and raised his left hand high.

"Snow Mastiff Armor, Fusion!"

"Boom..."

A beam of white light exploded across the night sky. Silver armor rapidly encased Li Zhao’s body, a Tai Chi symbol rotating at his waist. A silver battle axe appeared in his hand, its Thunder Power surging outward with mighty energy, stunning both the brawling man and monster.

"This..."

Zhang Yida stared at the towering figure approaching them, exclaiming: "Is this... the Snow Mastiff Armor ERP has been searching for?"

Dammit, why do their transformations always look better than mine!

In his frustration, Zhang Yida emitted a surge of blazing golden energy. His true strength burst forth as his eyes projected golden energy, sending the scale armor monster flying.

"Roar..."

The monster bellowed angrily in mid-air.

In the next second, Li Zhao leaped upward, his silver axe unleashing a sharp and unmatched white radiance.

"Roar..."

"Boom..."

Instantly, the scale armor monster split into two, struggling in the flames before disintegrating into nothingness.

...

"In recent news, more and more citizens have reported sightings of the Golden Armor Warrior being chased by abnormalities. Many netizens claim that someone so weak shouldn’t be responsible for protecting humanity.

In response, the relevant authorities have declared these videos completely fabricated and announced their intentions to sue the video editing companies involved..."

On rent collection day, Zhang Yida had just walked into the living room when he saw this broadcast on TV.

"Bullshit, pure bullshit! Those abnormalities are so strong; who wouldn’t run when faced with them? Are they suggesting I just stand still and take a beating..."

Zhang Yida vented his frustrations, only to notice a puzzled glance from Qin Shou. His rant instantly cut short.

"Xiao Zhang, the netizens were criticizing the Golden Armor Warrior, not you. Why are you so upset?"

"Er... well, Landlord Brother, I just got a bit carried away. Don’t mind me. Uh, here’s this month’s utility payment."

Zhang Yida placed a handful of crumpled bills on the table, flashing a fawning smile. "Landlord Brother, I have a question—can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead!"

Qin Shou casually pocketed the messy bills.

"Landlord Brother, what do you do for a living? You’re so young yet so wealthy—are you a rich second-generation heir or something?" Zhang Yida asked curiously.

Qin Shou waved his hand dismissively, "What rich heir? I just got lucky, that’s all."

"Lucky?"

"That’s right. A master once guided me to change my name, and then—I don’t know how—it resulted in me becoming filthy rich." Qin Shou shrugged with a smile.

Zhang Yida’s eyes sparkled, "Landlord Brother, where is this master? Can you introduce me?"

"No problem. He lives downstairs; his name is Xiao Hei. Go find him."

"He lives downstairs? What are the odds?"

"Not odds—I gave him a unit, so he’s downstairs now."

"You... gifted him a house?"

Zhang Yida’s expression turned peculiar as he gulped audibly.

"Landlord Brother, uh... are you in need of a son by any chance?"

"Get lost!"

"Roger that."

...

Ten minutes later, Zhang Yida walked out of Xiao Hei’s apartment, head held high and chest puffed, grinning from ear to ear.

"Haha! Zhang Wei—what a name—it practically screams ’loaded’!"

"Beep beep..."

His phone rang, and an enraged voice came through.

"Zhang Yida, what the hell are you doing?! How many times has it been this month that you’ve been chased down by abnormalities?"

"No, Command—I can explain..."

"Save it! Your pay is docked!"

"Please no, Command..."
