Chapter 659: with translation of chapter title

NO. 28: What the hell is a career‑forcing thing? (leaning back

The 《Taiping Fengtu Ji》 is one of the fictional ancient documents in the 《Ultraman》 series, containing some prophecies and records about ancient monsters and information.

Because it was mentioned on the sets of Ultraman X, Ultraman Orb, and Jie De, and on the Ultraman Orb set it had the status of a prophetic script, it was once jokingly called the 'New Generation' script.

From the list above it can be seen that it does not truly represent the New Generation.

It's just that the works from those three sets were all overseen by a certain director, so the 《Taiping Fengtu Ji》 is obviously that director's particularly beloved fictional document; if not for a certain cosmic ape claiming from the start to be an independent universe, it would likely have been scheduled as well.

However, the above explanation is merely from the viewers' perspective in discussing the work; for Aomo, who has already had several encounters with Hong Kai and even has a super‑agent friend……

Those works naturally cannot be regarded merely as works.

Just like before at the bar, as soon as he mentions Galatron Hong Kai's expression turns complex, and when he pulls out the Mogabas card the other person jumps up from in front of the bar, looking at him with an even more eerie gaze.

According to him, in the several universes he has traversed, the Monster King Beast's monster card has always appeared only in that person's hands.

But this statement doesn't really prove anything, after all the core instrument that can forge the Mogabas card—the Hei'an Ring—was also achieved via the world‑piercing hole they opened, and he was the one who transferred the technology capable of sealing it.

The sealed Hei'an Ring was used by Aomo as a synthesizer component, with the result that the Monster King Beast was born in a single card draw.

That is the Monster King Beast, also one aspect of the form of Mogabas the Great Serpent.

Reborn in this universe, it fell into the hands of the 'Serpent'.

Everything seems to revolve around Kai's karma, making his appearance when he returns somewhat absent‑minded; he starts to speak several times then stops, not knowing what he wants to say.

Not saying it is fine; Aomo hopes that what he wants to say does not contain an apology.

He also doesn't think this is anything that requires an apology.

The path he chose for himself, even if it deviates a bit along the way, isn't something to blame others for; moreover, the brand‑new monster card will naturally give him a collector‑style pleasure, which is one of the states he has always pursued.

Allowing a monster enthusiast to master monster power, and even to become a monster itself…… although he rarely sighs over this, he is indeed walking a fulfilling road he never imagined before.

Everyone's childhood comes with more or less fantasies.

Thoughts like blowing up a school are trivial; growing up, one might even want to destroy the world.

However, most people as children aspire to become heroes rather than villains; even little Aomo once mingled with his peers, embodying the yearning for light.

But no one ever asked him whether he wanted to become a monster, did they?

In the house‑play games favored by his peers, he has always been the person who doesn't fight over the Ultraman role or the monster role.

From childhood he has mastered the art of filling in; he doesn't mind which role, and even when there are many people he will readily agree to play the extra 'unfortunate citizen stuck between the two sides'.

Some children fantasize about being picked up from boring class by a hero, while others imagine their dull life being shattered by a ferocious monster, themselves becoming a hero—or even a monster controller—under everyone's gaze; such thoughts may even continue into adulthood——

Office workers also have hero dreams; for example, a certain training prince and a fake senior high student are always enthusiastic about such topics.

And a somewhat twistedJK likewise hopes for something that can break open the cage called 'boredom'.

As Aomo originally thought, she is simply unwilling to admit her chuunibyou mindset, yet he can't help feeling that this speculation itself has a loophole.

Given Qian's undisguised love and yearning for monsters, it's unlikely she would hastily deny the anticipation and joy on her face back then.

Is it because of that child in the New Universe? Wanting to cultivate a composed, dignified sisterly image in front of the child—this mindset is indeed common among high‑school girls, and even many of the central horse girls have it.

Even graduates are the same.

A certain red sports car occasionally brings a small gift to visit, its self‑appointed elder‑sister attitude gradually becoming apparent……

If it weren't also bringing along another self‑driving sports car that hopes he'll just run a lap, Aomo wouldn't actually be particularly resistant.

Usually there is still some resistance.

It's not just a fan‑style rejection of getting too close to an idol; it's also because he is simply not used to being that intimate with people.

What?

You ask how Xin Tiao Qian and Qieli Nina. Texas figure into this?

Thanks for the invitation; the Imperial Engine is activated as discreetly as possible.

So, returning to the original topic—Kai's reaction.

Kai's reaction when faced with those two monster cards is the proof that those works are not merely works.

All those records really happened; it's just that Aomo really doesn't feel comfortable asking about the other's deeds from ancient times.

Ask what? Don't ask!

The real thing only annoys (referring to some Aos), the fake only leaves emptiness (referring to Gagara).

Let alone that he actually received feedback on his reaction back then.

Getting back to the point: since the works are not merely works, the 《Taiping Fengtu Ji》 is no longer a fictional document but a true chronicle that records many monsters' ecologies and information.

Its position is similar to that of the Dongyan classic 《Classic of Mountains and Seas》.

For non‑human things, for strange things, for frightening things, for precious things, people always try to leave records.

Whether to share observations, to pass on traditions, or to warn future generations…… under these motivations countless special materials have arisen; although they also contain a fair amount of fiction, and even many fictitious books may appear, this does not prevent more and more records from being verified.

Time will prove the truth or falsehood of those books' records.

Over the past thousand years, too many folklore and wild‑history books have gone from being ignored and vilified to becoming important references, even being quoted verbatim in textbooks—enough to make all researchers renew their courage to study and consult in the uncertain sea of books.

So when Aomo saw those companies' records, he was reminded that he too had once overlooked some minor abnormalities—or what could be called 'under‑the‑lamp darkness'.

Clearly, in the past when collecting monster files he also always sorted rumors and ancient legends into categories, yet now, upon truly contacting monster power, he has forgotten this road that ought to be extremely important?

Rereading the few emails at the top of his private mailbox, his overly bright gaze reveals no thought.

——

The next day, the New Universe carried her not‑large luggage, half of which consisted of monster toys stuffed into her by Xin Tiao Qian, waved at Aomo, and stepped into Chestnut East Dorm.

"When will she have a roommate?" he asked the dormitory guard at the door.

Unlike the straightforward, wild dorm chief of Beautiful Bay Dorm who had dealings in the Irao District, the head of Chestnut East Dorm, FujiKiseki, is a courteous woman whose speech carries an operatic actress's aura.

In fact, both her parents are active opera singers, and she herself has indeed performed in opera, even doing a duet with the 'Overlord'; at one time the industry rated her as living up to her name, a 'remarkable stone'.

Kiseki/Kiseki, kiseki/kiseki, keseki/keseki

The fusion of these three homophones reveals its gem‑like brilliance.

But unlike the good opera that directly went to hug the stage at the end of the competition process, Fuji Qishi and another dorm head, Lingya Masun, when facing the decision about their post-graduation path, decided to stay on campus.

The unchanging dorm head, the dark-skinned artist, shining both on and off stage, continues to polish the youthful brilliance.

It is worth mentioning that Aomo's subordinates Ailisuzhi and Meipu Bo Fang are under her dormitory management, and those with some connection—Zhen Ji Ling, Aimu Zhiji, Narita Lu, Rongjin Shanyao, Dongshang Bian Ge, Datuo Taiyang Shen, Kongzhong Shen Gong, Dawa Chi Ji, Fute Jia, and Xiao Lin Li Qi—are also all on the dormitory roster.

It can be said that most of the horse girls who have interacted with him are in the Chestnut East Dorm.

But to be honest, he is not really acquainted with that dorm head.

After all, he is not a trainer who waits at the dormitory entrance for horse girls.

If Xinyuzhou weren't indeed a child, Aomo would not have been sent to the dormitory entrance, where countless other horse girls from the Chestnut East Dorm would gather to watch and stare.

With his excellent hearing, he could already hear quite a few discussions about himself, and among them were not a few familiar voices mixing in, doing out-of-tune popular science.

Teacher Datuo, I hope no one will mess with the EQ knob on your DJ stand!

He was silently thinking to himself, while the dorm head beside him already spoke: 'At shortest two months, at longest half a year, heh heh, Trainer Lintun might as well wait until two months later to see the results.'

Her attitude did not seem like the distance kept toward strangers; Aomo was not surprised, after all, sometimes Miss Fuji Qishi is also called a 'prince', and even slandered as a 'cowboy'.

Similar to the demeanor displayed by Xiqifeng under public scrutiny, warm and elegant, at the same time bearing a masculine vigor and openness.

Also existing is someone who receives as many love letters on Valentine's Day as Chengtian Bai Ren does.

Facing this 'handsome guy with a chest', Aomo also 'replicated' a similar attitude, asking: 'Two months, what do you have to say?'

"Usually, horse girls recommended from the localities to the central arrive around the second month of the semester, that's just anecdotal."

"Indeed, that could be called Qishi's insight."

"Heh heh, flattered, but I actually dare not guarantee a prophecy of shining brilliance for Trainer Lintun."

"No problem, just for that child's smoother life, I will also look forward to the results in two months; then, Miss Dorm Head, see you next time."

"Of course, you may come anytime to see that little foal, or other brilliant girls."

"That still requires a certain distance."

He smiled helplessly, then immediately waved goodbye, causing that dorm head miss to watch his back and show a somewhat troubled smile.

Just as Yama Sun said, he is a person with a very steady bearing, quite distant, sir.

One can tell he's the kind of person who easily makes girls sad.

And in the direction she gazed into the distance, Aomo, with steady steps, raised his hand to swipe open the light screen that had previously been popping up, and saw the Penguin Logistics information notification jumping violently.

【Great Emperor: @Lintun, kid, don't ask what you shouldn't, where did you get the idea to ask this?】

【Lintun: I just want to get more information before making a decision on some matters; Boss, is it inconvenient to disclose?】

【Great Emperor: Inconvenient, of course inconvenient! Given your style, kid, shouldn't you go experience it yourself? Why ask me?】

【Lintun: If that's the case, then I'll bother you no more, goodbye】

【Great Emperor：？

You just won't try begging me?

Beg me and I might just tell you!

【Capable Angel: Pfft… boss you……

【Commendable: No one would believe that, of course; boss, if you're willing to raise wages, I can believe it】
