Chapter 476

NO. 59: The Logistics Company That Came to Check on Temporary Worker Status

Mr. Shenyong Xin'er, not going to support his teammates but instead running to the café to idle, indeed he should be reported.

But since he is outside the jurisdiction of the Land of Light, everyone can fully understand.

As a civilization observer belonging to the extraterrestrial advanced civilization Planet of Light, Lipiya.

This brother's 'extraterrestrial feel' is far heavier than that of the first-generation Ultraman from another world.

Even when acting in human form, 'Shényán Xīn'èr' also possesses a stronger sense of being out of time than 'Zǎotián Jìn'.

Indeed, this difference can largely be explained by time.

After all, unlike 'Zǎotián Jìn' who stayed on Earth for a long time, 'Shényán Xīn'èr''s stay on Earth can only be described as the length of a Golden Week trip.

Defeating monsters is quick, the plot advances quickly, saving Earth is quick, leaving is also swift; the record of his deeds in New Ultraman is entirely efficient enough to serve as an Earth Speedrun Process textbook for the Land of Light's Ultraman warriors.

But the fact before us now proves that it is not the world lacking color, but rather Lipiya's nature is such.

It is not a difference in personality, but a difference in inner essence, allowing him to maintain the purity of that 'alien'.

In Aomo's field of observation, he could be said to stand out like a crane among chickens; it is inevitable to think that when gathering information on him, he once saw that the image design concept of New Ultraman was precisely the ultimate organism.

This ultimateness is not merely physiological like that of Kaz, but also the same psychologically.

It inherently possesses a sense of fulfillment, and because of that sense of fulfillment it differs from humans.

People are always pursuing perfection, yet cannot reach it.

When confronted with true perfection, however, they feel distortion, even fear.

Of course, Aomo is not an ordinary person, nor even an ordinary human.

This fear exists, but it can only be a little fear.

Having not been his first contact with Lipiya, and even having been scrutinized by her big bulb eyes while in the form of Meifelasi before her, he now also appears quite composed.

Although there were still three monster cards on the table, the one spread out looked at first glance not to be good, yet he still had an air of calm as if it were none of his business.

"Why don't you go help Oubu and them over there, but instead come running to monitor me?"

"They refused my assistance."

Lipiya said calmly, with neither tone nor content showing much fluctuation, nor any embellishment.

"I am on standby in the present world until I receive information that——you are contacted by Commander Bulake to meet."

"So you came running just to stare at me without hiding it? Not even ordering a cup of coffee?" Aomo said, glancing at the distant counter, where there was only a glass cup with half a cup of water left inside.

Aomo thought to himself that even with his thick skin, it would be hard to sit in such a coffee shop without ordering anything.

The clerk of Zhouri Ningjing's shop truly has good eyesight; clearly it is a coffee shop aimed at high-end customers, yet they stubbornly did not drive away this guy who dresses quite ordinarily.

"Do I have to order something? Then I——" "Never mind, I'm afraid you'll make me go Dutch." Aomo hurriedly waved his hand.

Although his finances have eased a bit, he still remembers the menu prices at Zhouri Ningjing's shop.

Originally, he chose this meeting place only because the other party was treating him.

Now that the big patron has left, one cannot expect this person to pay.

Although in his hometown's human form he also holds the title of Strategic Planning Officer of the Hotei Squad (the name of a small unit in the Neo Ultraman Defense Force), in this world……

Aomo had gathered information on him, clearly marking his identity as an unemployed vagrant.

Of course, it can also be called flexible employment, just like Kai, having no fixed occupation but going wherever he is needed.

It adds a massive obstacle to the Earth invasion plans of Commander Bulake and other extraterrestrials.

At the same time, it can also be seen as an indirect push for Aomo receiving this commission.

But the other party obviously does not regard himself as such; sitting opposite Aomo, his posture is as standard as Commander Bulake's, both being fellows who do not know how to appreciate the wonder of a sofa.

But the difference is, he will keep the topic in mind.

"What do you decide to do?"

Just like that, this man always keeps the original problem in mind, his gaze also sweeping over the three cards on the table.

"Yeah, what should we do?"

Aomo, having taken off his glasses, reflected the three cards in his blood-red pupils.

"A rare commission, and even a consultancy."

"Perhaps it's because they investigated my previous few mercenary commissions and prepared accordingly, but they didn't even draft a mercenary contract, ha," when saying this, the demon even showed a bit of breaking character, and then without hiding that laughter, "serious yet with a hint of casualness, really makes it hard for me to evaluate……"

He said this, raising his hand to lift the three cards, stacking them facing the same direction.

Great Ant Super Beast Aribunta, Super Ancient Monster Galra, and… Strange Beast Gan-Q.

As a down payment, this already counts as luxurious.

Aomo is not, after obtaining a strength card, someone who looks down on ordinary monster cards—a duelist (crossed out), but a holder of monster power.

Super Beasts and Super Ancient Monsters are both monster categories surpassing ordinary monsters (the line of underground monsters, which is also the purest natural ecological monsters), among which Galra once completely suppressed Dijia, only being slain in one strike after the prophet explained its weakness.

As for Eye Q… this is a special monster that has made considerable achievements in source energy sorcery, its nature can be seen as a weakened Gelizha.

Although weakened, it is thus more controllable, unlike the Gelizha card in his hand which to this day has been serving as a warehouse manager.

The random skill mechanic, this kind of gambler's device, is still something Aomo is relatively resistant to.

And he, holding these three cards at the moment, lays them out in a stack like poker, handing them over with the backs facing.

"Then, how would you like to choose?" he asked.

Facing the other's calm gaze, his face nevertheless showed a smile.

"I happen to be quite hesitant as well, so you decide—pick one of these three."

He said this, raising his hand to slightly spread the three cards apart from each other.

"One Super Beast card, one Super Ancient Monster card, and one Strange Beast card correspond respectively to accepting the commission, refusing the commission, and… a special choice."

He looked at Shényán Xīn'èr, while Shényán Xīn'èr looked at the three cards with identical backs, fell silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and said: "……You are an agency mercenary."

"He knows this as well, yet still issued the invitation, showing that this consultancy content is of a type that can bypass legal rulings."

It was no surprise he'd say that; Aomo responded calmly, then slightly shook the card in his hand.

So, want to try?

I actually hope you draw a super ancient monster, after all my mood is just like it—we're all reluctantly dragged here to work, our spirits ravaged to shreds.

Those words made Kai chuckle about eighty percent, doubting how true they were.

But Shen Yong Xin'er merely glanced at him, hesitated a bit, then reached out his hand.

——

One hour later.

"Guinea pig~kun~!"

"If you're hungry, it'll still take twenty minutes to be ready; first, have some cookies to tide you over, Bourbon-made."

"It's not about dinner! Why do you think I'm asking about dinner as soon as I speak?"

"Isn't it?"

"It's about Chazuo!"

"Is the pre-match condition check still about that card?"

"Both!"

Ailisuzhi turned her head toward the living room: "What is that card again? It looks disgusting."

Even though she is extremely enthusiastic about researching monsters, she also has an aesthetic sense.

Compared to the DD Universal Love Party's Xintiao Qian, who loves any monster, Ailisuzhi will still judge a monster by its appearance if she's unsure of its research value.

As for things like cute eyes, girls generally don't like them.

Moreover, the eye Q on the card is not the coming and going of long legs, but the ferocious appearance printed on the ground.

But Suzi also saw the surprise and some joy on Chazuo's face, and therefore is even more curious.

The strange beast that the Spiritology Department's students would be more interested in—you can go consult Qi.

How perfunctory—what about Chazuo's state?

You also saw how satisfied she was after getting the card.

"Is this the state?" she said, narrowing her eyes with a hint of dissatisfaction.

This state can affect the match condition—can you, being so idle, lend a hand?

I'll go have Bopang give you a hand.

You're also being perfunctory with me.

Watching that guy's back as he turned and ran away, Aomo smiled somewhat helplessly.

Later, if there's a delivery, please take it for me.

Who would deliver a package at this hour of the night!
