Chapter 2 The Zha Zha Zha Zha Star

In just a few minutes, the spacecraft had completed a short warp and entered the orbit of Zha Zha Zha Zha Star.

This planet looked quite similar to Shrug Star, both being tan-colored planets when viewed from space. However, Zha Zha Zha Zha Star was slightly smaller.

"Hmm... the gravity I felt on Shrug Star was basically the same as on Earth." While plunging into the atmosphere, Feng Bujue was still calculating the details in his mind, "Assuming this planet's density is similar to Shrug Star, then its gravity should be a bit lower... If a battle occurs later, I have to be careful..."

"The gravity on this planet is slightly less than on Shrug Star, so be careful after you disembark, Poker Face," Tapdance Man said, turning his head to remind him.

"Oh, understood," Feng Bujue responded.

After this period of contact, he had roughly grasped the personality traits of these two heroes. Breakdance Man was a more steady person. Although he wasn't exactly taciturn, he rarely said useless nonsense. Tapdance Man, on the other hand, talked a lot more. His personality was relatively lively, the kind who could easily get familiar with others, often cracking jokes.

"Putting aside the excessively heavy Indian accent and the strange hero names... these two are quite normal after all..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "It seems that the people in this universe are just relatively naive, but they still have basic intelligence. At least I haven't seen the complete idiots yet..."

"Hahahahaha... Hahahahahaha..." A burst of wild laughter interrupted Jue-ge's thoughts, and in a sense, slapped him in the face.

Just as the Curry-Go was entering the atmosphere and beginning to decelerate, a strange image suddenly cut into the main screen of the spacecraft. In the image stood a Shrug Star person wearing a mechanical exoskeleton and helmet. Just from his laughter and expression, one could basically tell... this was not a good person...

"Hahaha... Super Union, you've finally arrived!" The man laughed for a while before finally speaking.

"Who are you?" Tapdance Man shouted at the screen.

"Hmph... you don't even recognize me, you ignorant fools." The man snorted. "I am the great genius scientist, Dr. Shuai Shuai Shuai Shuai!"

"Wow... what kind of grudge do you have against your parents..." Feng Bujue thought.

"You can actually hack into this ship's communication channel?" Breakdance Man said, looking at the other party with a deep voice.

"Hahaha!" Dr. Shuai laughed. "How ridiculous, this kind of thing is a piece of cake!" He paused, putting on a fierce expression. "Listen up, heroes, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Just turn around and go back, or else..."

"Oh? Threatening us?" Breakdance Man interrupted. "So... you're the instigator of this crisis?"

"Hmph... to see through that so quickly, you're quite clever, aren't you..." Dr. Shuai snorted.

"This is considered clever?" Feng Bujue was shocked, exclaiming in his heart, "You're practically wearing the words 'I'm the villain' on your face, aren't you?"

"Now that things have come to this... there's nothing for me to hide." Dr. Shuai continued, "That's right, my real title should be the great, evil, invincible genius scientist... Dr. Shuai Shuai Shuai Shuai~, that's right."

"What have you been hiding!" Feng Bujue was really worried about the other party's intelligence. "What have you concealed from beginning to end? The only difference is adding 'evil' and 'invincible' to your self-description? You're setting yourself up to be a thief!"

"What exactly are you plotting?" Tapdance Man glared at the other party and said.

"Hahaha... you'll know soon enough." Dr. Shuai said, then cut off the communication.

During their conversation, the spacecraft had descended quite a bit. At this time, Breakdance Man adjusted the spacecraft's navigation mode, switching to autopilot within the atmosphere.

After doing all this, Breakdance Man said, "This Dr. Shuai is really arrogant. It seems that this mission won't be easy to deal with."

Tapdance Man added, "Yeah... after all, it's a C-level threat. We still need to confirm with the local government forces who issued the warning to see how serious it is."

"I say... you two..." Feng Bujue finally couldn't help it, and reminded them from behind, "Since the other party was able to successfully hack into the Curry-Go's communication system, that means our location has already been exposed, right..."

The two people in front were startled by these words.

"The other party knows our location but hasn't attacked us. That's not logical..." Jue-ge continued, "Of course, it's also possible that the conditions don't allow him to attack, for example... his location is on the other side of the planet, and he can't pose a threat to us in a short time; or, he doesn't have any effective means of attacking from the air. So... he can only threaten us in the communication." He paused, "But... he just confidently said that we'll 'know soon' his intentions, so... there are only three possibilities..." He raised three fingers, "First, he's confident that he can quickly control us after we land; second, the 'crisis' he created has already affected the entire planet, and no matter where we land, we'll be immediately affected; third, he's talking nonsense..."

Feng Bujue paused for a few seconds at this point, as if waiting for the two heroes to digest the information he had said, and then said, "I personally think the second situation is the most likely, and the first situation is the next most likely. But regardless of which hypothesis is true, it foreshadows that we're likely to encounter some kind of danger when we land..."

"Oh! You're a genius, Poker Face!" Tapdance Man suddenly widened his eyes and shouted at Jue-ge.

"Ah... no, no... I'm just using common sense..." Feng Bujue really wasn't being modest, but the other party didn't give him a chance to continue...

Even Breakdance Man looked shocked: "So, besides superpowers, you're also a hero with 'super intelligence'!"

"Hey... are you implying that the average IQ of all intelligent races in this universe is below 80..." Feng Bujue naturally wouldn't say these words, he silently complained in his heart, "No wonder that doctor just said you were smart... but is this kind of setting really okay? How did you guys develop into the interstellar age? Relying on a few geniuses to push history forward..." When he thought of this, his expression changed slightly, "Hmm... wait... come to think of it, this seems pretty normal... human technology in the real world is also driven by a few outstanding talents at the top of the pyramid..."

Tapdance Man didn't notice the change in Jue-ge's expression. He continued, "Poker Face, you may not know this, but Earth hasn't seen a super-intelligent hero in many years, and heroes with both superpowers and super-intelligence are very rare in the entire universe!"

"Heh... hehe... so I'm that awesome?" Feng Bujue replied with a dry laugh.

"Of course! There are two super-intelligent heroes in the current highest council of the Union." Tapdance Man said, "They are Frog Man and Tin Foil Man."

"Could these names be any more embarrassing..." Jue-ge thought.

"Although they don't have any superpowers, they have unparalleled wisdom." Tapdance Man continued to explain, "Moreover, they are very wealthy, possessing nearly endless financial resources. In the early days of the Alliance, when it hadn't received any sponsorship, they were the ones who supported the operation of the entire organization."

"This setting sounds so familiar..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Also... why am I just casually agreeing with him, but this guy is enthusiastically starting a detailed explanation... Aren't the NPCs in this world too easy to get information out of?"

Tapdance Man's narration wasn't over yet: "Frog Man, real name Enwei Slub, is the only son of the Slub family, the richest family on Mahat Star. Enwei personally witnessed his parents being killed by criminals when he was a child, and he vowed to eliminate evil and prevent other children from suffering the same fate. To this end, he visited famous teachers, mastered various detective knowledge and combat skills, and relied on the Slub Group to manufacture a large number of high-tech equipment, beginning his holy war. During the day, he is a brainless rich second-generation heir and playboy in the eyes of others; at night, he is the Dark Knight who makes criminals tremble with fear - Frog Man."

"Is it okay to blatantly copy Batman's setting like this? Is it okay for you to tell me his real name? Also... why a frog? Why? It's completely meaningless!" Feng Bujue was about to burst, he really wanted to shout all these words out, but he couldn't...

"Tin Foil Man..." Tapdance Man was still saying, "Real name Ketas Nito, is the heir to Nito Enterprises. His hometown is Niba Star, known for its technological civilization. He is a world-renowned arms dealer, physicist, and engineer, as well as a philanthropist, inventor, adventurer, and billionaire, a playboy. He wears a powered armor that he developed himself, which gives him superhuman strength, endurance, flight ability, and multiple weapon systems, allowing him to act as a hero. And the power source of the armor is the miniature arc reactor in his chest..."

"Uh... let me interrupt..." Jue-ge couldn't hold on any longer, "Then... why is he called 'Tin Foil Man'? Could it be that his armor..."

"Yes, that's right. The basic material of his armor is 'super tin foil' that he developed." Tapdance Man replied, "This material is very light, almost like a close-fitting suit, and it's also pressure-resistant and heat-resistant. Combined with his molecular-level technology, it can..."

"Hey! Look!" At this time, Breakdance Man, who was controlling the spacecraft's descent, interrupted their conversation. He switched a split screen to the main screen in front, "This was taken by the spacecraft's monitor..." He said nervously, "What are those on the ground?"

Tapdance Man immediately turned his head and exclaimed, "This... it's definitely not a regular mechanized unit of the military..."

Feng Bujue was currently struggling in the abyss of pain, and he was close to the point of his head exploding. Therefore, no matter what happened next, he didn't care anymore...

Jue-ge raised his eyes to look at the screen. He saw a large black shadow slowly moving on the tan-colored plain below the spacecraft... A closer look revealed that it was an army composed of mechanical creations. Countless mechanical beasts of various shapes and sizes were forming formations, advancing at high speed on the land...

"What the heck..." Feng Bujue thought, "Dr. Shuai, couldn't you just create some Shrug zombie virus or something... How are we supposed to deal with a mechanical beast army... Speaking of which, isn't the financial resources and execution ability of you villains too outrageous! Wouldn't it be better to do something right with the same cost and effort?"

"The coordinates of the alert are not far from here. I'm switching to manual driving mode to approach." Breakdance Man said, placing his hands on the console, "Tapdance Man, try to contact the government forces."

"Understood." Tapdance Man replied, then picked up the communication device, pressed a few keys on the console, and waited for a few seconds. "Strange... I can't find a signal."

"It's possible that the government forces shielded the base's signal to hide their locati..." Breakdance Man couldn't finish his sentence, because he saw the base with his naked eyes halfway through his sentence.

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue also saw the scene in the distance, and said in a deep voice from behind, "We're too late..."
