Chereads / What Is It Like To Be Summoned As A Giant / Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: A Distress Signal from the Big Boss

Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: A Distress Signal from the Big Boss

```

That day, Tang Lin recalled the fear when the system first contacted him.

He had originally planned everything perfectly, equipped himself with gear, and then traveled through worlds to truly crush everything. Even if the difficulty of the tasks increased, he wouldn't be afraid.

But now Tang Lin lay in bed like a mummy, and he hadn't even tested if the real world would just disappear after he transmigrated. If Tang Zhanpeng found out, he might break his legs right then.

Without figuring out how to explain the time travel to his family, Tang Lin planned to transmigrate a few more times to confirm the system's specific effects before telling them, just like the teachers hidden inside a computer's hard drive, a secret that couldn't be disclosed to his family.

So should he respond to this summons request this time or not?

"Dad, I don't want porridge, I want rice, how about you get me some?" Tang Lin said to Tang Zhanpeng.

"You can only eat porridge right now!" Tang Zhanpeng rejected.

So heartless?

Tang Lin thought for a moment, then said to Tang Zhanpeng, "I want to go to the bathroom!"

Tang Zhanpeng put down his phone and prepared to get a urinal.

"No, I need to go number two!" Tang Lin said.

Tang Zhanpeng reluctantly reached out to support Tang Lin. To his surprise, Tang Lin got up from the bed on his own. This agile movement did not match his mummy-like appearance at all.

"It's fine, it's fine, I can go by myself. It doesn't hurt anymore." Tang Lin quickly rushed into the bathroom and locked the door.

Watching the closed bathroom door, Tang Zhanpeng muttered to himself, "The hospital's medicine is this miraculous?"

But after a few seconds, Tang Zhanpeng knocked on the door, saying, "You brat! You took my phone in there too!"

"I'm just borrowing it, I can't do my business without a phone!" Tang Lin said from inside the bathroom.

His own phone's screen had burnt out long ago, so he had to use his dad's.

Tang Zhanpeng helplessly took a tablet out of his bag; fortunately, he had prepared for the bedside stay.

"Huh, why do I suddenly have so many replies on Zhihu?"

Tang Zhanpeng started to immerse himself in the internet.

Tang Lin breathed a sigh of relief; without a phone, he'd be screwed, unable to communicate after transmigrating. Speaking of which, having to prepare his own translator as a transmigrator, he considered himself a disgrace to the transmigrator community.

"You have a summon request, do you wish to respond?"

The emotionless system kept repeating this sentence rhythmically, and Tang Lin quickly chose to respond.

"You have responded to the summon, gaining 100 points of Wish Power. Establishing connection..."

"Connection established, initial communication beginning."

The emotionless system voice faded, replaced by a deep, magnetic voice of a middle-aged man.

"Help! Somebody, help! God help me, don't take my daughter!"

The pronunciation was clear, and compared to those heavily accented dwarves before, Tang Lin had little difficulty understanding it.

This was someone begging Tang Lin to save his daughter, but he didn't know which world this was. However, if it was related to saving a daughter, could it be "Hurricane Rescue"?

It's a classic spy film where one would go to all lengths, even taking out hundreds of villains, to save their daughter.

But if it was that movie, Tang Lin was not too keen on accepting the summon, because the movie's plot was set in big cities. If a nearly two-hundred-meter-tall giant appeared in the city, wouldn't a missile strike be underway in less than three minutes?

Although Tang Lin had the Stone-man's Heart to heal injuries, missile attacks were like grenades to him; facing them head-on would be certain death.

"What is your name?" Tang Lin asked.

First, find out who this is, and he might be able to determine which world this is.

"My name? I am Erik Lensherr. Who are you? Can you save my daughter?"

Erik Lensherr?

That name doesn't seem to be the protagonist of "Hurricane Rescue," but Tang Lin vaguely felt he had heard it somewhere, though he couldn't recall exactly who it was. And how coincidental, just after saving a father and daughter, another father and daughter came for help? Could it be that the system was issuing tasks based on what's happening in reality?

Just as he was about to search for this name, the system provided new prompts: "Connection completed, contract generated, task difficulty: easy. Accepting the summon will earn you 1,000 points of Wish Power, and completing the task will reward an additional 1,000 points. Would you like to decline this summon?"

Task Difficulty: Easy, with a roughly 70% chance of completing it and about a 5% chance of encountering life-threatening danger.

This was no longer extremely easy, the difficulty had increased a level, and Wish Power rewards were directly doubled.

It seemed the task wasn't too difficult. Though Tang Lin was in a similar state to when he transmigrated in pajamas, he now had the Stone-man's Heart, making him twice as strong as before. Challenging an easy-rated world seemed quite manageable.

Before accepting, Tang Lin downloaded an offline English-Chinese dictionary using his dad's phone. It wasn't too large, only about 200MB, and was downloaded within seconds.

Then, Tang Lin searched for the name Erik Lensherr, to get a sense of this transmigration's background. Although he didn't have much gear to prepare, at least he could be psychologically ready.

If there were no issues, Tang Lin would accept the summon. The traversal wouldn't last more than ten minutes, as long as his dad didn't barge into the bathroom mid-way, everything should be fine.

After searching, there was a Baidu Encyclopedia for Erik Lensherr; he seemed to be a pretty popular character. Upon clicking, Tang Lin saw this name's other alias—Magneto.

"Come on, X-Men? Marvel Universe?!"

Damn easy difficulty, a world where the likelihood of encountering life-threatening danger was only 5%? Missing a zero, aren't we!

A powerhouse like Magneto, who could destroy Earth single-handedly, was being forced to call for help. What kind of enemy did he run into, the six-gemstone Thanos, or was it the entire Avengers attacking en masse? Or perhaps the Heavenly Gods collectively descending on Earth?

Even if he crossed over as a two-hundred-meter giant with the feeble abilities of the Stone-man's Heart, how would that help against entities that casually dealt with universe-destroying powers?

The system is screwing me over!

As soon as Tang Lin had this thought, the emotionless system voiced once again: "Preparation time is over; you did not refuse this task, gaining 1,000 points of Wish Power. Initiating transfer!"

Getting lost in surprise, he forgot again; the task was automatically accepted unless actively refused!

Falling into the same trap twice, Tang Lin started to question if his IQ hadn't plummeted straight after the college entrance exam.

The feeling of the spinning heavens began to materialize, dimensional transcending was about to commence. He couldn't give up and had to find a way to save himself. Tang Lin shoved the phone into his pocket, then started looking around the bathroom.

Equipment! He had to find some gear to protect himself.

But what in the world could be used as gear in a bathroom?
