Chapter 501: 494 Gift, Wish, Cosmic Rift

Xinjiao Qian pulled out two red watches as if by magic: “Deng-deng-deng-deng!”

Qi Ming: “What’s this?”

Xinjiao Qian: “A derivative of the Ultra Key. Simply put, it’s a phone watch—this lets you directly contact the Ultra Key.”

Qi Ming: “So you used this to send me voice mails before? But if it’s only for communication, it’s no different from a PDI communicator or a regular phone.”

Xinjiao Qian: “No, even without signal, this phone watch connects directly to the Ultra Key. I made two—here, take them.”

Hui Mei beside him: “So as long as you wear this, you can reach Qi Ming at any time, no matter what?”

Xinjiao Qian snapped her fingers: “Exactly—as long as it doesn’t run out of battery.”

Qi Ming took the two phone watches, thought for a moment: even without signal, Ultramen can communicate via telepathy, so this should go to a human who needs it.

So he gave the first one to Hui Mei of the Victory Team.

Xinjiao Qian: “Then give the second one to Karimira.”

Qi Ming thought: “That works for her too.”

After receiving the gift, Karimira’s eyes lit up: “Is this… a love token?”

Qi Ming, having learned how to communicate with Karimira over time, replied gently: “No, it’s a lifeline. So you can call me when you fall down a sewer and can’t climb out.”

Karimira: “???”

Xinjiao Qian burst out laughing.

“Birthday? Then let’s throw a party and celebrate properly—I’ll order the cake.”

Hui Mei was already operating her phone; Zhuxing Tuan also said it coincided with Christmas and should be celebrated well.

Qi Ming: “My birthday is better celebrated on September 6th—other dates feel weird…”

Besides, he didn’t feel much about birthdays; for him, this day meant less than Spring Festival, Qingming, or Mother’s Day.

After putting on the phone watch, Hui Mei scrolled through her tablet as usual, organizing key intelligence—then her expression changed slightly at something she saw.

She quietly pulled Qi Ming into her tent and showed him the tablet: “Qi Ming, look at this…”

She opened a document titled 【Project F】; scrolling down, two images among the text caught Qi Ming’s attention.

Weren’t these the two devices used by Quenteng’s advisor in the original Dyna Ultraman series to extract Hikari’s light and activate the artificial Ultraman?

Damn, again?

Hui Mei: “These devices were secretly built at the Cairo Base on the Moon—even Guqiao didn’t know—but they’re being dismantled now.”

After carefully reading the file, Qi Ming understood: “Being dismantled? So that’s why.”

Quenteng’s advisor is truly a politician—so pragmatic.

Even after Hikari’s and my earnest advice in the original universe, he only half-listened, never fully accepted it.

Only after seeing Mechanical Seven and Asgaron nearly match Ultramen’s power did he finally abandon the artificial Ultraman idea and ordered the secret dismantling of these devices.

Qi Ming clapped his hands: “Impressive, Hui Mei—you got this intel.”

Hui Mei: “Qi Ming, what are you going to do?”

Qi Ming: “Thinking alone isn’t a crime. Since Quenteng’s advisor wants to pretend this never happened, we’ll pretend it never happened too.”
