Ding!
[You enjoyed a wonderful nap!]
[Reward: Transformer - Bumblebee]
Cassius opened his eyes, the system prompt echoing in his mind.
Bumblebee the Transformer?!
"It actually gave me Bumblebee as a reward?!" He had never imagined he would get a reward like this. A long time ago, he had fantasized about owning a Bumblebee himself. After all, it was just too cool. Not only was it a handsome car, but it was also a powerful fighter. Although it wasn't as eye-catching as other luxury cars, Bumblebee was one of the things he wanted the most.
[Transformer - Bumblebee]: Owning a Transformer is every man's dream. It's now parked in your vehicle vault.
"Mwah!"
Cassius wrapped his arms around Wanda and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. Ever since Wanda showed up, the rewards he received had never been bad. This was truly a precious gift from the heavens! She was his lucky charm!
"What's wrong?" Wanda noticed the excited smile on Cassius's face. He had been lying there calmly just a moment ago, but now he was beaming from ear to ear. Could it be because she had also been beaming from ear to ear just a moment ago, which made him happy too? Otherwise, she couldn't figure out why Cassius was so happy.
"I just got a new car. Come on, I'll take you for a spin!" After getting Bumblebee, Cassius couldn't wait to try it out. He then picked Wanda up. "Let's take a shower first, then we'll head out immediately."
"Is there a need to be so hasty?" Wanda couldn't understand what kind of car would make a rich man like Cassius so excited. After all, with his ability, buying the most expensive car in the world shouldn't be a problem.
"You'll find out in a little bit!" Cassius picked her up and headed toward the bathroom.
Two hours later, Wanda's legs were wobbly as she followed Cassius to the garage.
"Look, it's that yellow one..." Cassius pointed excitedly at the Volkswagen Beetle in the middle of the garage, but his words trailed off.
This wasn't right. Why was it a Beetle?
"That's the car you're so excited about?" Wanda covered her mouth, trying to hold back a laugh.
The Volkswagen Beetle looked so out of place among the other cool cars. Any one of the other cars could buy a hundred Beetles. She couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw Cassius's surprised expression. He looked like a child who had received a gift, only to open it and find out it was a disappointment.
"This isn't right..." Cassius's mouth twitched. If he remembered correctly, it should have been a Chevrolet Camaro! He then suddenly remembered that Bumblebee could scan the exterior of other cars to change his appearance.
"I can't believe you like this kind of old car that can barely run." Wanda held back her laughter and poked Cassius's shoulder.
"Who are you calling old?!" The speakers in the yellow Volkswagen Beetle suddenly spoke up. "I can go so fast you'll want to throw up!" The voice from the speakers kept changing from a male to a female voice, constantly switching between different radio stations.
"It can talk?!" Wanda was a little surprised. "How does a car that old have artificial intelligence?"
She really hadn't expected someone to put AI in this "old car." AI was a high-end technology, not the kind they had today. For example, the development of an AI like Tony's Friday was very difficult. So it was strange that such technology was installed in this kind of car.
"It's not AI." Cassius smiled. "It has its own consciousness."
"I might be a little old, but I'm not useless!"
Clickety-clack...
At that moment, the yellow Beetle's exterior began to change rapidly. With a loud sound, it trembled a few times and then rose to its feet. It quickly formed a tall robot. The yellow paint on its body made it look incredibly cool.
Bumblebee then lowered his head to look at Wanda.
"That's so cool! It can even turn into a robot!" Wanda gasped and took a few steps back. The top of the tall Bumblebee's head was touching the ceiling. She really hadn't expected the car to be able to turn into this. And it looked pretty cool after it transformed. She finally understood why Cassius was so excited. This kind of thing must have a fatal attraction to men.
"Woman, do you know how cool I am now!" As Bumblebee spoke, he proudly tapped his foot. Although his voice sounded like a child's, you could still hear the smugness in it.
"That's so weird. Why does your voice always change?" Wanda asked with a surprised tone. It sounded like something was wrong with it.
"His voice box is broken, so he can only communicate through the radio." Cassius remembered the original plot very clearly. After all, he had watched the movie two or three times. So now, Bumblebee could only extract voices from different radio stations to reply.
"It can do that?!" Wanda's eyes lit up, because that made it even cooler. It could even speak with different voices. It was just like the mechanical creatures in sci-fi movies.
"Am I amazing? Much better than those old cars you talk about!" Bumblebee, who was just praised, shook his body excitedly. He could tell that this was his master's lover, so he was deliberately showing off.
"It's a shame." Wanda shook her head and complained helplessly. "The Beetle is still a bit too ugly."
No matter what, Cassius was a dignified person. If he drove a Beetle, it would be a bit of a letdown. Even if he wanted to be low-key, he didn't need to be this low-key.
"Just watch..."
Clickety-clack...
At that moment, Bumblebee crouched down and began to transform rapidly. The protruding armor on his body quickly retracted, and in just a few seconds, Bumblebee had transformed back into a car.
What surprised Wanda even more was that it was a completely different model.
It was a Chevrolet Camaro. Classic black stripes ran down the center of the car from the front to the back. The sports car's exterior and slightly raised hood showed a unique style. Even though the exterior was yellow, it wasn't flashy. Instead, it was a little understated, while still having a sense of class.
"How did it do that?" Wanda's eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief. She had seen a lot of high-tech stuff. She wouldn't have been that surprised if the car could transform into a robot and back. What shocked her was that it could even transform from a Beetle into a different model. That's what made her unable to understand how it was done.
"How about that? I'm not some worthless car!" After Bumblebee spoke, the two car doors opened abruptly. "Come on, get in! I'll take you for a ride!"
"Let's go, let's go for a ride!" Cassius pulled Wanda into the car.
"Buckle up! We're about to leave!" The speakers inside the car roared. What followed was the fierce roar of the engine and an incredibly strong push. With the roar of the engine, the yellow blur sped onto the road. The speed was increasing rapidly. In just a few seconds, it had already reached over two hundred miles per hour.
"What the hell was that car that just passed me?!"
"A Chevrolet Camaro just passed my Lamborghini?!" The driver, who was speeding down the road, looked at the taillights that had disappeared, his face stiff. He was already going at one hundred and eighty miles per hour, but he was passed in the blink of an eye.
Cassius was holding the steering wheel with one hand. If he wasn't worried about being too outrageous, he wouldn't even have bothered to hold the steering wheel to pretend to drive. After all, Bumblebee had his own consciousness and could drive on his own.
"It's so fast!" Wanda held onto the seatbelt tightly. Although she could also do this in the air, sitting in a car was a completely different experience. Her adrenaline also began to pump, and an unprecedented thrill rushed to her head.
"I haven't even gone full speed yet!" Bumblebee's smug voice came from the speakers.
"There's a corner ahead, slow down!" Wanda said with a trembling voice. At this speed, they could easily flip over on a corner!
But Bumblebee's speed didn't slow down. In fact, it got even faster. At that moment, Cassius turned the steering wheel sharply, but the car didn't turn. Instead, it was heading straight for the side of the road!
"Ah!" When Wanda saw this, her face changed dramatically, and her lips turned pale. Being thrown out at this speed could lead to a serious injury! But there was no fear on Cassius's face. Instead, he floored the gas pedal.
Click!
The next second, the car door on Cassius's side suddenly turned into a mechanical arm. It instantly braced against the ground, and with a shower of sparks, the car made a perfect fishtail turn. It returned to the road and continued to speed away.
"Why were you driving so fast!" Wanda complained, her breathing ragged. She had almost used her Chaos Magic just now. "You scared me to death!"
"You can always trust Bumblebee. He'll never let you flip over and get hurt!" Cassius's mouth curled into a smile. He was obviously very aware of Bumblebee's abilities. Even if they flew into the air, Bumblebee could transform and safely catch them in mid-air.
"You're heartless!" Although Wanda knew Cassius wouldn't lie to her, she was still scared. She couldn't help but let go of her left hand on the seatbelt and hit Cassius's arm. She had figured it out. Cassius had intentionally scared her.
"Where are you planning to take me today?" Cassius looked at Wanda and asked with a puzzled expression. Wanda had been acting so mysterious today that it made him curious.
"To Orchard Beach." Wanda looked at Cassius with a smile, her eyes filled with a bit of excitement.
"Orchard Beach?" Cassius was a little surprised. Going to the beach in the fall wasn't a particularly smart choice. The weather wasn't suitable for swimming, and many of the stores along the coast were closed. The only advantage was that there were fewer people on the beach at this time, which made it a better place for couples to visit.
"Bumblebee, let's go! To Orchard Beach!" Cassius gave the order and let Bumblebee drive. After all, Bumblebee had a navigator, and he would get there much faster than Cassius could.
"Received! Navigating to Orchard Beach!" The voice came from the speakers, and with a cloud of dust, they disappeared over the horizon.
Orchard Beach was a famous beach in New York. After the car stopped on the sand, Cassius held Wanda's hand and walked along the beach. Looking at the waves, he had to admit that this place was indeed a tourist destination.
The weather was mild, the sun was bright, and the light blue sky covered them like a lake. Seagulls circled overhead, crying out. The salty sea breeze blew on them, bringing a unique scent of the ocean.
Because of the weather, there were much fewer people on the beach. But because it was a famous scenic spot, it wasn't completely empty. Most of the people there were couples who had come to enjoy the scenery.
"This is so much prettier than in the pictures." Under a coconut tree on the beach, Wanda took a deep breath, facing the sea breeze.
"You've never been here before?" Cassius looked at Wanda, puzzled. He had assumed Wanda had been here before and wanted to bring him here.
"Mmm..." Wanda's expression was a little downcast as she seemed to recall some past events. "After coming to the United States, I was always in the lab, and then at the Avengers Compound. I was always on missions, so I never really had much time to go out and have fun."
And because of her bad reputation, she didn't dare to secretly go out in her free time. It was because of this opportunity that she wanted to come to this beach she had wanted to visit for a long time with Cassius.
"Well, you can enjoy it now." Cassius looked at the downcast Wanda, and he felt a little heartache. The witch's life had been full of ups and downs. If it weren't for him, her difficult life might never have ended. After all, in the original story, Scarlet Witch had a very tragic ending.
"I want to go dip my feet in the water." Wanda looked at the sea. The blue ocean, the wind blowing over the waves, and the sparkling surface.
"Let's go, let's go dip our feet in the water together!" Cassius also wanted to try it out. While helping Wanda take off her shoes, he said, "Orchard Beach is nice, but there are too many people. We can't go swimming."
There were still quite a few people on the beach, and he didn't want the beauty who belonged to him to wear a swimsuit for others to see. If she really wanted to swim, he could just book the entire place for them another time.
"By the way, Cassius, I want to show you something." At that moment, Wanda took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"What is it?" Cassius looked at Wanda with a puzzled expression. Was the mysterious Wanda finally going to reveal the secret? Ever since they arrived, he had noticed Wanda acting secretive, as if she wanted to say something.
"Look!" Wanda closed her eyes, forcing herself to calm down. She took out a silk scarf from her pocket and shook it in front of Cassius. Then, as a scarlet glow appeared, the scarf slowly stood up. The crimson scarf actually began to change. Green branches extended from both sides, and a delicate red rose slowly grew on top.
When he saw this, Cassius's expression froze. What was going on? He had never imagined that Wanda would give him a flower.
"..." Wanda took a deep breath, ready to confess her feelings. She had always wanted to have a proper relationship with Cassius. But fear had stopped her from ever bringing it up. But at this moment, her heart was filled with emotion. Just as she was about to hold the rose and tell him...
Rumble!
Suddenly, the sky was covered in dark clouds. A black line swept in from the horizon, instantly covering the entire beach! A terrifying aura filled the air, and a powerful pressure emanated from the sky.
"Someone's here!" Cassius put his index finger on Wanda's lips, signaling her not to speak.
In the distance, high in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
A strange figure appeared. Her face was wrinkled, and below her hooked nose was a sinister smile.
The sky became oppressive, and dark clouds appeared in the air. The blue sea was covered by a large patch of dark clouds, and even the color of the seawater turned a deep black.
The calm sea now roared like an angry beast, and huge waves surged toward the shore. An indescribable dark aura rushed toward the two of them.
