Chapter 4

This sentence stunned all three people, including Moroboshi Dan. After Soldier Shan Zhong calmed down for a long time, he roared: "What did you say!"

Qi Ming believed that if you chose to swallow your anger when offended, the other party would perceive your personality as weak and would become even more aggressive.

Most people actually understand this principle, but children from ordinary backgrounds are taught "don't fight, we can't afford to pay, just endure it and it will pass."

But Qi Ming came from a high-intellect family, his parents were reasonable, and he himself had been as dazzling as the sun since he was a child because of his talent and appearance; he was the focus of the crowd everywhere, so of course he wouldn't compromise.

Facing the aggressive Soldier Shan Zhong, he was not suppressed at all and smiled back:

"I said you should look for your own problems more. If the Feiyan you were piloting could have pinned down at least one monster, Captain Moroboshi Dan wouldn't have had to bear such great pressure and suffer such a heavy injury."

"Crashing so quickly is too humorous; perhaps tying a bone to the joystick and letting a dog pilot it would have the same result."

Kishida, who was on the same plane, was also unhappy when he heard this: "What does an outsider like you know? Do you mean you could have done better than us?"

This was their first time facing a triple attack, and their psychological preparation was insufficient; they did indeed fail and did not perform at their expected level.

Qi Ming looked as if it were a matter of course: "Need you ask?"

"You brat!" Soldier Shan Zhong gritted his teeth, and the proud Kishida was also very indignant.

If it weren't for the fact that it would have a very bad influence for GUTS team members to hit ordinary people, they would have really wanted to give this brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a piece of their mind.

Moroboshi Dan frowned and came out to smooth things over:

"Alright, stop talking. My injury has nothing to do with Qi Ming; it's my own problem."

"From our interaction just now, I saw his brave spirit and strong physique."

"I have already invited him to join the GUTS team; from now on, you must get along well."

The impact of these words was even greater, making Soldier Shan Zhong and Kishida dumbfounded again.

After Kishida came to his senses, he hurriedly advised: "But Captain, he hasn't received training, and monsters won't show mercy just because he looks good!"

Soldier Shan Zhong also suspected that the captain was so heavily injured that he was delirious: "I don't want to be teammates with this kind of guy who doesn't know what he's doing; he'll only be a burden."

Qi Ming corrected: "I'm joining the GUTS team temporarily, which doesn't mean I want to be teammates with trash like you. Please put yourself in your place."

"What did you say!"

"Alright, save some energy and think about how to deal with the two monsters that escaped; things aren't over yet!" Moroboshi Dan shouted to stop them.

He sent Soldier Shan Zhong and Kishida away, telling them to call the base, while he pulled Qi Ming to the side.

He put on a straight face: "Why be unforgiving and say such excessive things? You will be comrades who share weal and woe in the future; you should be tolerant of each other."

Qi Ming looked at Soldier Shan Zhong and Kishida, who were gathered together in the distance pointing at him, looking like they had great opinions, and said:

"Look, you also think I have a 'point,' so you should be saying this to them."

"Besides, you want me to join the GUTS team to fill the combat gap caused by your inability to transform, not to let me accommodate these two useless insects, right?"

Moroboshi Dan felt that Qi Ming should be more humble, so he criticized him seriously: "Are you saying that without you, the GUTS team can't do anything? Do you know that this kind of thinking of yours will hurt the hearts of other team members?"

Such familiar words, he said them to Feng Jianyong in *Leo*, but he was not a "gentleman" like Feng Jianyong who could be deceived.

Qi Ming followed his logic: "Do you mean that the GUTS team now has the ability to fight monsters alone? Then I can rest assured."

Moroboshi Dan was stunned and hurriedly denied: "No, humanity is not ready yet."

Just now, he was one-on-three and had his leg snapped, while Qi Ming killed one and scared away two.

Under such a contrast, it was difficult for him to have a position to "re-educate" Qi Ming for the time being.

Soon, a large number of planes landed.

TPC staff began to clean up the battlefield, collect the stone statue fragments, and a passenger plane carried the four GUTS members back to the sea base.

The random medical staff performed preliminary wound treatment on Moroboshi Dan, but during the process, their eyes always wandered toward Qi Ming's face.

"Please take a photo of him." As soon as Moroboshi Dan, who had limited mobility, finished speaking, several female nurses rushed forward to help.

After they were done, their faces flushed red, and they asked Qi Ming nervously and coyly if they could keep these photos.

"Of course." Qi Ming nodded gently, accustomed to this situation, and even posed for several poses according to their requests.

Seeing this, Soldier Shan Zhong and Kishida, who were sitting opposite, were indignant.

"This guy is too outrageous! What does he think TPC is?"

"He's just an outsider. We should really take a photo of him wetting his pants after facing a monster so they know this guy is all show!"

"I don't think he can pass the Vice Captain's test; she hates frivolous guys the most."

…………………………

"I'll go find Staff Officer Kiriyama and have him specially approve your entry into the team. But the process will probably take a long time, and it will depend on your performance in the middle." Moroboshi Dan actually didn't have much confidence in getting this done.

Qi Ming asked: "Kiriyama? Captain Kiriyama?"

Moroboshi Dan: "That's right, he is my old captain."

But as Kiriyama was promoted to Staff Officer, the previous GUTS team was also reorganized.

Furuhashi was transferred to the Space Development Bureau, Soga went to the West Asia branch to serve as a recruit instructor, Amagi was seconded to the United States... Only he remained in the new GUTS team to serve as captain.

Qi Ming was thoughtful; it turned out that the previous GUTS team was the Ultra Guard from *Ultraseven* with a different name.

The subsequent "reorganization," why did it sound a bit like the path in *Ultraman Dyna* where the entire GUTS team was marginalized due to the rise of the Hawk faction?

Qi Ming realized something and asked: "Who are the people with real power in TPC?"

Moroboshi Dan: "The Director is named Tu Qiao You, who once served as commander of the First Space Anti-Aircraft Artillery Group and is very bold."

Qi Ming nodded silently.

Tu Qiao You, space anti-aircraft artillery, these two keywords put together...

He could be sure that this was the ambitious person in *Ultraman Blazar* who shot down the V99 spaceship, and after discovering that the other party had no aggressive intentions, chose to let the mistake continue for the sake of his own reputation and concealed everything.

The dictator who obstructed Emi, who was investigating the truth of her father's disappearance, in every possible way, and even arrested her to implement life imprisonment.

Moroboshi Dan: "The staff officers are divided into hardliners and moderates, which are commonly known as the Hawk faction and the Dove faction. The Dove faction staff officer is named Counselor Quan Teng Xiba."

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng... The staff officer in *Ultraman Dyna* who kidnapped Asuka, forcibly extracted his light energy, created an artificial Ultraman, and ended up giving the Sphere a perfect fusion material?

Could this kind of radical be a Dove faction? Then who is the Hawk faction?

Moroboshi Dan: "The head of the Hawk faction is named He Zhi, who is also from the GUTS team."

Qi Ming: "..."

Staff Officer He Zhi, the Staff Officer He Zhi from *Imaginary Saiwen OV*?

That makes sense; Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng is just a radical, while this one can be called a terrorist.

In *Imaginary Saiwen OV*, he implemented the 【Friendship Plan】 of "guarding the home to the doorstep of others," destroying alien civilizations under the guise of exchange; Furuhashi died because of the retaliation of alien civilizations.

In order to conceal the truth that "the Nonmalt are the original inhabitants of Earth," he killed Captain Kiriyama, who was trying to find the truth, and even wanted to kill Imaginary Saiwen in his human form.

Director Tu Qiao You, Staff Officers Counselor Quan Teng and He Zhi... With the leader setting the example, no wonder the GUTS team is full of these kinds of people.

It feels like a few lunatics are managing a mental hospital.

"Kishida, accompany Qi Ming to register; I'll be his introducer, and then take him to familiarize himself with the base environment."

After returning to the base, Moroboshi Dan gave Kishida his ID card and left limping with the cane he took from the plane.

Kishida was extremely unwilling, but facing the captain's order, he could only do as he was told. He pulled a long face and said: "Follow me!"

Qi Ming looked at Kishida and then at Moroboshi Dan's retreating back, thinking that this captain was somewhat lacking in common sense.

………………………………

"Dan, your leg." Kiriyama was full of worry.

"It's fine, we've encountered worse situations before." Moroboshi Dan smiled reluctantly, then took out Qi Ming's photo and asked Kiriyama to help arrange for him to join the team.

"Has this photo been modified?" Kiriyama was also stunned for a while after seeing Qi Ming in the photo.

Moroboshi Dan: "No, he is even more handsome in person than in this photo. Most importantly, he also has great skills, which is exactly what we need."

Kiriyama: "That's fine, you've suffered such an injury, you need someone to go on duty for you."

However, this matter was not easy. Daigo, who was already an official member of the TPC Transport Department in *Tiga*, could transfer to the GUTS team, and Director Sawai played a big role.

For a foreigner to parachute into the GUTS team, Staff Officer Kiriyama, who only had a nominal position, could only say he would do his best.

After saying this, Kiriyama remembered something else, his expression complex: "Dan, do you still remember the Nonmalt?"

Moroboshi Dan: "Of course I remember, why..."

Kiriyama: "There seems to be a new discovery recently, but... forget it, you recover from your injury first, and I'll go explore it again."
