Chapter 693: No. 62: Do We Still Need Kang?

NO．62：Do we still need Kang!?

The simulated opening of 'Monster Zoo' didn't last long.

The data in the cosmic archives was truly enormous, far exceeding Aomo's imagination—after all, it shared 80% of the data from their home, the Land of Light, and added to that, the star alliance centered on the Holy Terra Federation provided 70% of civilizational data.

Not to mention the Gaia Library, this would count as half a Gos (referring to cosmos) library (x).

How much monster and Hei'an giant data would such a database contain? And how vast a venue would it be if turned into a proportional virtual image?

Even if this archive for wandering Ultramans is already huge, it still couldn't hold such an 'exhibition,' and the two of them didn't even have time to view so many 'exhibits.'

So in the end…

It still turned into watching the screen.

They even watched together as five—calling over the witch beast who didn't know what they were doing, Morrison. Linton who was playing a game, and even a certain super agent.

Of course, this was also reported beforehand; at least they had to prove that the people they summoned wouldn't leak secrets, and each had to sign something akin to a confidentiality agreement.

The witch beast was somewhat reluctant, but Morrison was quite willing—because his ability to raise children had always been too comprehensive, leaving his pent-up paternal love rarely finding an outlet.

Even if he were just a tool, he could only accept it.

As for Jie Si Ti Si…

Upon hearing Aomo's invitation, he immediately transformed into a vanguard, rushing over along the network lines in his haste, and immediately went to grab and shake the hands of several Ultramans.

It can be seen that even among these 'heroic characters upholding justice,' there are differences.

Or rather, the opposite of the disdain chain—the admiration chain.

That super agent, renamed Jie Si Ti Si, who greatly admired the Ultramans, burst out of the screen and, upon reaching the archives, headed straight outside.

He embodied the epitome of a D, with D's everywhere.

However, the Land of Light's office, being merely an embassy, had few staff—or rather, few Ultramans.

So completing a round of D didn't take much effort; turning back, he had to fulfill the 'demon contract' and work for Aomo (x).

But frankly, if it were just about looking up data, Aomo wouldn't need to drag these three people along—the archive's search engine is efficient, and those three AI goddesses of Tressen aren't any better.

But who made him come for more than just data?

Collecting negative-energy monsters, and even negative-energy data, is one aspect.

He firmly believed the Land of Light's office could find very detailed data—Ultraman 80 had at least 50 episodes, Mebius and later series mentioned the negative-energy monster concept to some extent, and it would be unreasonable for the Land of Light not to have kept records.

Indeed, the facts are exactly so.

Gathering such data is quite easy, and even much of it bears Ultraman 80's name; a direct search for Ultraman80 yields about half.

But he also mixed in private goods outside of his duties.

Searching for relatively stable monsters and aliens for his three female subordinates is also one aspect.

And that means there's something to look through.

Even if the archive's search engine is excellent, you can even verbally invite the AI to list a series of contents, and that list is also extremely long.

Moreover, it's not over once found; Aomo wants to copy the specific data and take it away—stuffing it into the database of his card-drawing machine, he didn't originally come with the idea of 'expanding the card pool,' did he?

Besides his own hobbies, he naturally also needs to consider how the girls' cards come about.

In short, it all comes down to drawing.

Admittedly, the office also has a technical branch; although Hikali only came for an inspection when it was first established and then left, leaving a group of juniors and students, but the predecessors' knowledge is truly top-notch, truly 'standing on the shoulders of giants'.

The research effort must be at least 1.5 times that of a Saintly Manifestation person (x).

But even so, the Land of Light's Technical Bureau obviously has some regulations limiting it.

Cards, capsules, and medals are all Ultraman versions, while monster versions are either made by villains using open-source tech or by humans, and have nothing to do with the Land of Light.

Aomo also didn't have the cheek to ask them to make a few cards on the spot; this possibility isn't high, and it might trigger some landmine-like demands and remarks, so it's better not to do it.

He still prefers stability, and seeking stability comes at a cost—he must further screen.

Storing such massive information on the public network is somewhat foolish, and the social work department he had the witch beast help build doesn't have that much capacity; his initial preparation was a brick-sized storage device.

An expensive storage device capable of holding 156DB would be more than enough, but ordinary Aomo would obviously not be willing to spend so much—yet thinking of expanding the card pool, and thinking of it as an investment in monster cards.

Done!

But facts prove he still vastly underestimated the monster information needed to forge a card—or rather, the individual information of a monster or a powerful alien.

A person's lifetime experiences can be recorded in just a few pages, but how much memory would all of a person's information occupy?

Aomo underestimated this, because his foster father, as an electronic ghost, occupied only 60G.

As a being over a hundred years old, this amount of information is somewhat embarrassing.

Occasionally, he even shows senile-like short-term memory loss, prompting Aomo to want to right-click and check file integrity.

But even so, he still thought 1TB was plenty—thinking back to when Gurrit fought, although the broken computer once sparked wildly, it also indicated that Gurrit's program usage wasn't large.

But when he opened the files of Belial Ultraman, Dark Lugiel, and those guys, he subconsciously glanced at the card-making info in the upper right corner and held his breath.

Then, belatedly, he realized—

——Just a few months ago, Aiba Ami complained that he and his motorcycle both had Ultimate-level data amounts.

Um…… what was the data amount of an Ultimate form again?

Although the early Digimon born from the network were small fry, and a Gigadragonmon like that once truly belonged to the GB unit, but with the network's development to now, the digital world has also expanded, and data resources have surged, so the threshold of Ultimate forms bred by the survival-of-the-fittest Digimon ecology……

Aomo unconsciously twisted his nose, looking at that 'brick' in his hand, thinking of directly ordering a larger storage device from Heaven's Gate City to be delivered, wondering if it would arrive in time.

Of course—making several round trips, the desire to 'empty out' this place is still there, but one must also hold onto the expectation of not being allowed.

First, let's race against time to gather information…… At this moment, they are screening slowly precisely because they can actually only store a few dozen to a few hundred top-tier items.

Because everyone selects data to copy and take based on cost-effectiveness, coolness, and data volume, Aomo keeps picking and choosing among high-intensity bosses, regardless of whether he has the conditions to draw them out.

Meanwhile, Morrison furtively flipped through the list of vampire-like monsters, trying to add a few traces of his own clan's proof to his adopted child.

Jie Si Ti Si kept flipping through flyers and those whose appearance was relatively upright like Garatron.

The witch beast was everywhere flipping through things that looked like mages and demons, feeling the data was too little—normally, those don't belong to the monster category.

Then it was Xin Tiao Xi's turn...

She glanced at Aomo, then stole a look at the others with their heads down, first adding Ji Tan Jie E and Ka'er Mi La's data into the list.

Hmph!

She remembered that line clearly: "It's just that the voice is similar; I won't go crazy just because a man ran away." Even though she had already received enough psychological comfort and tolerance from Xiao She, it didn't stop her from being petty and laying a trap.

Just wait!
