Chapter 6

~8 min read 1,524 words

After continuously tapping the four buttons four times and then turning the dial clockwise four times, the manual appeared on the dial.

The content on it left Qi Ming, who was always calm and composed, dumbfounded.

The name of this watch is 【Ultraman Arbitrary Key】, a device that integrates multiple functions such as "user transformation," "DNA access," and "life energy conversion."

It labels powerful life forms into four levels: S, A, B, C.

When a life form dies, its life energy can be converted into a special energy called 【Star-Gifted Heavy】.

Or, after analyzing it, it can be accessed into the watch, allowing the user to consume 【Star-Gifted Heavy】 to expand into huge energy for transformation in the future.

C-Class is 1 point, B-Class is 3 points, A-Class is 6 points, S-Class is 10 points; conversion and consumption are the same.

The dead Garula converted 3 points of Star-Gifted Energy, indicating that under the judgment of the Arbitrary Key, it belongs to B-Class.

Because of the residual life energy, the first transformation after analysis does not need to consume 【Star-Gifted Heavy】, so Qi Ming could transform into Tiga three days ago.

Similarly, his next transformation into Seven would not have any consumption.

The passing line for integration is 60%, not the 100% Qi Ming thought of at the beginning.

"Taking Tiga as an example, 60% is Multi-Type Tiga that can freely switch types and last for three minutes. Then isn't 70% the 'Glitter Type' that appeared when fighting the second-generation Kyrieloid, and 100% is Glitter?"

Qi Ming turned the dial to flip the page and saw the final ultimate function.

"Consume ten points of Star-Gifted Heavy to perform 【Star Gathering】, and the Ultraman Arbitrary Key will automatically search for powerful life forms in the endless dimensions, access their DNA, with indefinite integration."

In layman's terms, it's—drawing from a card pool.

Taking that "two-character mobile game" as an example, this situation might happen in the future.

"Hah, I drew 15% one-constellation Yapool; now it's just a white ball. It doesn't matter, let the enemy use all their strength to hit me; the harder, the better."

"Look, I drew 75% four-constellation Gaia; watch me transform into Supreme and smash you all."

"Wow, I drew 100% full-constellation Hyper Zetton; now I must destroy all the gasoline barrels in the world immediately."

However, judging from the fact that this 【Ultraman Arbitrary Key】 can break through the dimensional wall, Qi Ming was very sure that this thing brought him to this chaotic world.

Then what about the return ticket? Does it need me to draw an existence with space-time ability to cross back home myself?

The most intriguing part is the last passage left for him by the developer.

【I don't need to create killers anymore; I hope to witness a consistent hero.】

【Although the Arbitrary Key will not be damaged, it is best to press it lightly when using it; forceful slapping will trigger random mode.】

【Do what you think is right, Morning Star.】

Qi Ming's eyes flickered: "It even knows my nickname; is it an acquaintance? But sending me to this ghost place without even saying hello is too impolite."

…………………………

"This free and loose guy actually asked for leave for three days as soon as he joined the team! He doesn't even come for training assessment; does he want to hide in his room until he stinks? He doesn't know any rules at all!"

In the GUTS team's command room, Soldier Shan Zhong complained, and Kishida, who was in the same boat, nodded in agreement on the side.

Moroboshi Dan didn't want him to say such things that were not conducive to unity: "Team member Qi Ming has his own ideas; I believe in him, and you should believe in him too."

At this moment, Vice Captain Saijo Nagi, who looked cold and unapproachable, spoke:

"Captain, you are heavily injured and cannot easily go on sorties in the future."

"The candidate to replace you on the front line must be chosen carefully; the GUTS team is going to a battlefield of bloodshed and sacrifice, and we don't need a decorative pillow."

Moroboshi Dan originally wanted to say "you should believe he is a comrade you can safely entrust your back to," but after thinking for a moment, he felt he couldn't judge by intuition and changed his words to "let time give us the answer."

As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and team member Emi walked in.

A look of shock remained on her face: "I think I saw the team member Qi Ming you were talking about, the one who 'just looks good.' He is running in the gymnasium, and a bunch of people are surrounding him watching."

"Running?" Kishida sneered: "What kind of training is this? Does he want to run faster in battle?"

"That's not the point." Emi's tone increased: "The point is that this isn't just ordinary handsome; can he evacuate the crowd? Normal girls would easily be unable to move their feet when seeing him, right."

Soldier Shan Zhong asked: "Does that include you too?"

Emi immediately denied: "I don't."

Saijo Nagi thought cautiously and rationally for a moment and said: "This is indeed a problem."

"I'll go find him and talk." Moroboshi Dan went to the gymnasium with his cane, just as Qi Ming's daily exercise ended.

Moroboshi Dan asked: "How do you feel? Are you used to living here?"

Qi Ming sighed: "Actually, I really want to use the mentality of 'this is a dreamlike journey, and when I wake up from the dream, I will find that I have returned to the starting point' to numb myself, but the changes in my body tell me that everything is real."

Moroboshi Dan: "Changes?"

Qi Ming said: "Just now was the twenty-fifth lap I ran, but I'm not tired at all, and my speed is much faster than in the past."

Moroboshi Dan was shocked; a lap in the gymnasium is four hundred meters, twenty-five laps, he just ran ten kilometers!

Qi Ming said he used to imitate an anime character, using standard scientific posture to do one hundred pull-ups, one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups every day, and then run ten kilometers.

If there were no special circumstances, he would persist; although exhausted, there was a sense of satisfaction after completion.

But now, he felt not tired at all, feeling that his body had endless strength surging in his meridians.

Looking at the Arbitrary Key on his right wrist, he couldn't help but think of the words of Hideki Go in *Ultraman Jack*—"Ultraman's power is working on me."

"This is a good thing." Moroboshi Dan felt happy and told Qi Ming that it was time to keep up with the team for flight training.

Qi Ming: "Flight training, piloting Feiyan 1?"

He had piloted a relatively simple seaplane for rescue in the UK, but fighter jets were obviously more complex and required more time, so he felt there was no need.

"Can we simplify the process of monster appearance—I pilot a fighter jet to intercept—the fighter jet is shot down—I transform into Ultraman at the critical moment, and just go straight to the point?" Qi Ming planned to go to the ground forces, which would be more convenient for transformation.

Moroboshi Dan was in a difficult position: "But other team members will think you are avoiding it and will have opinions."

Qi Ming: "Their opinions are irrelevant. If they really want to maintain peace, they should spend their energy on more important things."

He asked: "Captain, you are injured now and cannot transform; why can't you let the brothers from the Land of Light come to help?"

In *Ultraman Mebius*, Taro came to take over for Mebius, who had "insufficient ability at the moment."

In *Ultraman Taro*, you six Ultra Brothers even had time to come to Earth to eat barbecue.

You are already crippled and unable to fight; can't you send an Ultra Brother to take over or assist in defense?

Moroboshi Dan was in a difficult position: "My companions in my hometown are also fighting for justice in other places, and besides, I came to Earth as a 'planetary observer,' and some of the things I do here are not easy to explain to them."

Are the other Ultra Brothers too busy to get away? But I saw you guys were quite leisurely when you gathered on Earth to eat barbecue in *Ultraman Taro*?

However, Qi Ming could still understand; after all, this world is full of demons and monsters, and perhaps the Land of Light is also busy fighting dangers in the universe.

Qi Ming had many questions he was prepared to communicate well with Moroboshi Dan, such as where are your capsule monsters? Did they rush into the toilet with the Zi-O rabbit?

And there are too many insects in our team; should we clean them up? How is the progress of assembling the Tiga statue...

The next moment, the alarm sounded, a sudden event occurred, and all GUTS team members immediately went to the command room to gather.
