Night Shadow was sure that he was only going to choose to learn through the system. But a question arises, what should he do?
Night Shadow kept thinking about it and for a good hour, he kept thinking about it when...
'Alright system, put 50 points in Deconstruction'
[Yes, host]
Suddenly he saw his 50 points go in deconstruction.
He then said, 'Show my stats'

------------------------------
Night Shadow also wanted to use his stat points very much but left them for now because he will first remove all problems within his body.
Thinking about his body, he asked that cold voice, "Mr. Voice, I would like to ask a question, if you don't mind."
"Ask your question", replied the cold voice.
"Is it possible for me to enter the Cyber-Junkyard?"
The voice was surprised.
"Why would you want to go to the Cyber-Junkyard?"
"I will collect the materials needed to build machinery"
"You can tell what you want to me and I will order it. There is no need for you to go"
Night Shadow was surprised.
He could just tell the order to the voice. But he did not want to tell the real truth.
His real aim was to deconstruct the parts from broken bots and fix himself.
He did not want to show anyone he could deconstruct materials. If he showed then won't they ask how he got it? Then he would have to tell everyone about the system, which he did not want to.
Night Shadow was thinking about an excuse when the voice said, "It's alright. You don't have to tell me the actual reason. Besides, it might be a good thing for you to see the things outside"
Night Shadow internally gave out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Voice. But there are two more problems"
"What could they be?"
"The first one is Elita One's training"
"You have special rights to decline her training, you can use the soldier training facilities whenever you want. What is your second problem?"
Night Shadow was surprised. He got the rights to decline Elita One's training AND use the soldier's training facility whenever he wants.
'Just how much authority do I have?'
"I need an air vehicle to transform into, so I can go there"
The voice became silent. Only after a few moments, it spoke.
"Alright, I have a jet for you. I will send it to your lab in a few moments. Scan it and go up to the runway to take off"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Voice", Night Shadow couldn't hold back his excitement.
The voice did not reply.
Night Shadow waited for the jet and after 5 minutes or so, a futuristic, black-colored jet came from the ground.
It looked like an advanced version of YF-25 Wyvern and completely in black and the most amazing thing was that it could lift off vertically.
The ground had first split into two and then the plane emerged with a shining platform underneath it.
Not wasting any time, Night Shadow scanned the whole plane and then a message resounded in his head.
[Added an air vehicle in transformation]
Night Shadow told the voice to take the plane away. The plane went back into the ground and the ground closed.
Night Shadow asked the voice, "How should I go to the runway?"
"Go to where you came from and head to the runway"
"Alright"
Night Shadow left his workshop and went towards the place he came from.
Night Shadow reached the place and waited for that square thing to come.
He waited for 15 minutes before it came. But it was different from the before one.
It was an equilateral triangle with one vertex down and the other two up, and it was white in color.
Night Shadow put his back on it and felt the magnetic force pull him. He did not move this time.
Suddenly, he started to move up at a very fast speed. This time he took only 15 minutes to reach up. The transparent platform beneath him closed and he stood on it.
He remembered the way he came from and started heading towards the entrance.
It took a few minutes before he saw the bot from before.
The bot looked at him with a neutral expression and asked, "How may I help you?"
"Please open the door. I would like to exit"
The bot nodded to him once and clicked a button on his hand.
Instantly, the door of the bay opened.
Rumble~
The ground shook once again but Night Shadow did not care and left.
When he came out many bots looked at him with apologetic faces but Night Shadow did not give a damn about them.
'System transform me into the air vehicle'
[Roger, host]
Night Shadow smirked at the last message.
Suddenly he felt his body move. The metal parts started shifting from one place to another inside him, his height suddenly started decreasing and in a few minutes, he became a black jet.
The bots around him looked at him with widened eyes.
"Hey! Isn't that the Black Demon!!! How did he get it...?!!!"
"I going to die of shock!"
"WHAT THE HELL?!!!"
"It's the Black Demon!! I wish I had the skill to copy that guy's design"
"Black demon...!"
Many bots started to become envious.
'Have I just become the mc of a wuxia story? Will a bot come and ask me where I got this?'
Thinking about this, Night Shadow internally smirked.
Suddenly a ferocious-looking, red-colored robot walked up to him and threateningly said, "Hey newbie, where did you get this from?!"
'Am I a seer or what?'
Night Shadow was in awe with himself.
Night Shadow said, "Why should I tell you?"
"You...!!"
Suddenly the ferocious bot transformed his arm into a sword and pointed it at Night Shadow while smiling threateningly.
"Tell me or I will make you regret your life!"
Night Shadow sighed.
'Why did this happen to me? I just wanted a peaceful life. Alright, I'll show him what it means to fight me!'
"Have it your way then", Night Shadow replied
He aimed one of the missiles at the bot and shot it.
Whoosh~
The bot did not anticipate this outcome and was blasted to pieces.
Boom!
Metal parts started flying in all directions and hit many of the bots but it did not cause much damage to them. Every bot there became silent.
"Is there any bot who opposes me?"
Although Night Shadow calmly said the words, to other bots, it was like the words of death. When no bot said anything, Night Shadow started moving forward.
No bot came said anything to Night Shadow because, in Cybertron, the weak are destroyed and no one will help them. Although Cybertron looks peaceful, it is a place where the strong rule and the weak get bullied.
Suddenly a message from the system came...
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a non-living being. Gained 1000 XP]
[Ding! Congratulations to host for becoming Level 6]

------------------------------
Night Shadow became excited but he did not show it on his face.
"Control tower, this is Night Shadow. Requesting runway to destination Cyber-Junkyard. This is my first time flying. Over."
After Night Shadow transferred the information, he found out that the control tower was the tower that supervises everything related to air in the whole Cybertron.
"Copy that, Night Shadow. Go to runway 401 and wait for permission to take off. Over"
"Copy that"
Night Shadow knew where runway 401 and started heading towards it.
It took him 10 minutes to reach the runway because there are at least 1000 runways.
Suddenly Night Shadow received a message from the system:
------------------------------
[Mission -
Rebuild and strengthen your body internally and externally.
Grade - D
Rewards - 250 Points, 200 XP, and Void Disintegrator gun blueprint]
------------------------------
When Night Shadow read the message, he couldn't help read it again.
Void Disintegrator gun!!! It sounds so cool and dangerous!
He was also getting a blueprint. His first blueprint!!
Night Shadow became excited and even more determined to upgrade himself.
Night Shadow reached the starting point on the runway.
"Control tower, this is Night Shadow. Requesting permission to take off. Over"
After a few minutes, the control tower said, "Requested granted, Night Shadow. Have a safe flight. Over."
"Copy that"
Night Shadow got used to the controls. He flapped his ailerons, checked his vertical and horizontal stabilizers, and many other things.
When he was ready, he said to himself, 'Good luck'
Night Shadow started his engines which let out blue flames and started increasing his speed.
10 km/hr...100 km/hr...200 km/hr...300 km/hr...
The sound created by the engines was almost silent.
When Night Shadow reached 350 km/hr, he took off.
If no one saw Night Shadow take off, they would never believe he had already taken off.
It was a wonderful feeling. After all, he always wanted to fly like and now he is getting a chance to do so.
But that feeling did not make Night Shadow lose concentration on his direction.
After going 150 km straight, he tilted his plane, changed his direction, and continued his flight.
As Cybertron was a mechanical planet, the engines in any of the planes were not normal. They were advanced engines that do not need air. And the flames? They were just excessive heat generated while flying.
Night Shadow continued for another 2 hours when he saw the runway of Cyber-Junkyard 30 miles away from him.
Night Shadow asks, "Control tower, this is Night Shadow. Permission to land on Cyber-Junkyard runway. Over"
"Permission to land granted. Congratulations on your first successful flight. Over"
"Copy that"
Night Shadow released his landing gears and landed in a few minutes.
Night Shadow went away from the runway and transformed back into himself.
"That was amazing", Night Shadow mumbled to himself. While flying he saw many buildings reaching unimaginable heights. Cybertron was very beautiful.
He shook his head, got rid of the thoughts, and headed to the Cyber-Junkyard.
He walked for 10 minutes before he reached the entrance to Cyber-Junkyard.
He saw two guards guarding the entrance to the junkyard. The guards were around 28 feet tall, blue and black in color.
He moved forward but was stopped by one of the guards.
"Name, occupation, and reason for entering", the guard said in a cold voice and transformed his hands into two guns, both pointed towards Night Shadow.
"Night Shadow. Mechanic. To collect parts for using them in making machines", Night Shadow replied with a neutral expression. He had already gotten used to the cold, metallic voice of transformers.
The guard closed his eyes and went still.
A few minutes later he opened them and said, "You are free to go"
The guard transformed his guns back into his hands and closed his eyes. Night Shadow passed the two guards and walked forward. In the next moment, Night Shadow passed through a translucent barrier and saw Cyber-Junkyard.
It was humongous. There were uncountable piles of broken transformers reaching heights even Night Shadow couldn't see. If there was one thing you would find in the Cyber-Junkyard, that would be broken bots. There were broken bots all around him.
Night Shadow got excited.
'Will I get Cybertronian Steel here? Whatever, I am going to do my best to fix myself!'
Thinking about it, Night Shadow started moving forward. He went to the nearest pile and tried scanning for anything good but even after half an hour, he couldn't find anything good.
Night Shadow was not disheartened. He knew finding non-broken and good quality parts will be uncommon, so he went to the next pile.
Night Shadow scanned it and also did not find anything good.
Night Shadow went to the next pile and this continued for 2 hours when he found something.
It was a pair of eyes better than the one Night Shadow had.
Although Night Shadow wanted something better, he did not complain.
'System, absorb these two eyes and replace them with mine'
[Absorption activated]
Suddenly, Night Shadow's black hand transformed into a gun with a large muzzle. It looked really cool. A suction force started from the muzzle and the pair of new eyes went into Night Shadow's arm. Night Shadow suddenly felt his eyes being removed by an unknown force and was replaced by the new pair of eyes.
Instantly the new pair of eyes were switched on and Night Shadow could immediately tell the difference between the new pair and the old pair of eyes.
The new pair of eyes were easier to control, can look farther than the old one, his eyesight became much better, and the new pair of eyes were purple.
Night Shadow became excited.
'Absorption is so great. I will keep these pair of eyes in my storage for now'
'System, keep these old pair of eyes in my storage'
[Yes, host]
The old pair of eyes disappeared from him and went inside the storage.
'Alright, let's go scavenging!'
After 12 hours,
In front of Night Shadow, there were many things kept such as Helios control system, Gravitational Visualizer, Refraction Pinpointer, a lot of wires, a lot of pieces of undamaged Cybertronian Osnium, etc.
Night Shadow became excited about the idea of replacing them with the parts in his body.
In the next 15 hours, Night Shadow absorbed all the items and fixed most of the damaged parts in his body. But what depressed him the most was he couldn't find any core better than his.
But of course, this was supposed to happen because when a transformer dies, the transformer is usually checked for any undamaged parts before tossing them into the junkyard.
Night Shadow could only sigh in sadness when something caught his attention.
It was a black-colored, sphere-shaped object in one of the dead bot's hands.
Night Shadow lifted and examined it when the system's message popped up.
[Would the host like to replace his old core with the Warp core?]
