Chapter 98

The next day, as soon as Qi Ming arrived at the Command Room, he was called out by Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng.

"Team Member Qi Ming is truly a master of calculation, worthy of being called a god of foresight. Perhaps Earth monsters and humans can really act in unison against external enemies in some matters." He complimented him like this.

But this tone made Qi Ming feel that something was a bit off.

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng continued: "Yesterday, I told Director Tu Gu Qiao You about the course of events, but..."

"Director Tu Gu Qiao You believes that the enemy of an enemy is not necessarily a friend."

"Monsters have no intelligence; they just reacted to external stimuli, so they cannot be trusted."

"He also said, 'What about those who sacrificed themselves because of Earth monsters before? Does that mean we were wrong to kill Earth monsters?'"

Speaking of this, Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng sighed:

"Team Member Qi Ming, you are still young, and your understanding of this world may not be deep enough."

"The importance of some 'authorities' is far above right and wrong, and they cannot be offended in the slightest."

Qi Ming thought to himself that there was nothing incomprehensible about this; Tu Gu Qiao You was also this kind of person in the original "Blazar" series.

He discovered that the downed V99 spacecraft carried no weapons but refused to repent, choosing to stick to his mistakes, eventually forcing the V99 to send a massive fleet to approach the border.

In this world, he is the Director of TPC. If this matter were exposed, wouldn't it be saying that his previous decisions were wrong?

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng added: "However... Director Tu Gu Qiao You said that in the future, when dealing with Earth monsters, we can handle the specific details, but if something goes wrong, he will hold us accountable."

Great, he wants to increase the odds of winning and walk the right path, but he doesn't want to bear the risk of making mistakes.

Speaking of this, Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng sighed with emotion:

"Although we won't attack Earth monsters in the future, 'cooperating' will inevitably be cumbersome."

"Perhaps only when Director Tu Gu Qiao You retires and the next director takes office will he be able to give Earth monsters justice without any burden."

Qi Ming nodded, thinking to himself that this was just liquidating the predecessor.

Speaking of this, Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng looked around for a while, and seeing no one else around, he finally couldn't help but ask Qi Ming:

"Team Member Qi Ming, you can calculate the future."

"Can you help me take a look? Do you think, based on my physiognomy, I can be the next Director of TPC?"

As long as he stands in that position, he can better protect the Earth and lead humanity forward!

Qi Ming stared at his pancake-like face for a while and then said: "If you really want to put TPC on the right track, then we will nominate you to be the next leader."

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng was secretly happy. Does this mean I have a chance?

Then he heard Qi Ming continue: "In that case, if you are confident in taking over the TPC mess, find a time to invite Tu Gu Qiao You to go fishing."

"Then find an opportunity to smash him to death with a rock. If anyone dares to jump out and oppose or secretly sabotage you later, come to me, and I will help you settle it all."

Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng: "?"

He only felt that Team Member Qi Ming was joking again. How could such a transfer of power be achieved in this way?

Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't entirely impossible... but that would require power capable of crushing everything in all directions. It was too unrealistic, and his faction wasn't prepared for this either.

…………………………

After chatting with Staff Officer Counselor Quan Teng, Moroboshi Dan came over.

Moroboshi Dan looked hesitant: "That blue giant, he looks a bit familiar to me. He seems to be..."

Qi Ming: "You guessed right, he is Hikari."

Moroboshi Dan's expression changed drastically: "You know Hikari? It really is him... How could he become like this?"

Qi Ming briefly told him about how Hikari's beloved Planet Arb was devoured by Bogaru, and how he was blinded by rage and determined to take revenge at all costs.

Moroboshi Dan: "Using the devil's methods to defeat the devil, wouldn't that ultimately still be the devil's victory?"

Qi Ming nodded: "Captain, after I smashed the hood of your Jeep, your intelligence level seems to have recovered, but Hikari probably won't listen to big principles right now."

Moroboshi Dan: "I must persuade him to turn back!"

Qi Ming: "Then you go handle Hikari, and I'll go handle Fujimiya Hiroya."

Moroboshi Dan: "Fujimiya Hiroya?"

Seeing that he was interested, Qi Ming roughly explained Fujimiya's psychological journey in the early stages of "Ultraman Gaiya."

Because of the prophecy of the photo-quantum computer Crisis, he believed that humanity would eventually destroy the Earth, so he decided to eliminate humanity to protect the Earth.

Moroboshi Dan: "No problem, I'll persuade both of them!"

…………………………

The following week was calm and peaceful.

Qi Ming could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, he wasn't completely idle; he took the time to visit Staff Officer Inagaki, which made the latter's scalp tingle.

He wouldn't really be serious about making me go to the Command Room to clean, would he? How would I save face?

As it turned out, Qi Ming just wanted Staff Officer Inagaki to use his authority in the Space Development Bureau to get more "Suagu Ore."

"Suagu Ore... what is that?" Staff Officer Inagaki looked confused.

Qi Ming: "This is a type of ore on the moon. You don't even know this?"

Staff Officer Inagaki: "After years of continuous development, we have discovered that the moon is not a completely desolate planet; there are many things going on up there."

"There are many types of ore, and there are many traces suspected to be monster activity."

"There are also ruins known as the 【Valley of the Kings】; I really don't know who built them..."

After saying a whole lot, he meant that I am busy with ten thousand things, and it's impossible to be thorough in everything.

Qi Ming told him to pay more attention to Suagu Ore and then transport a few tons to the base, saying that this stuff would be of great use.

Staff Officer Inagaki hurriedly agreed, otherwise he was afraid that this ancestor would cause a scene and make him lose face.

Why did Qi Ming want Suagu Ore? Of course, it was to counter the Chaos Virus that might attack Earth again at any time.

Speaking of the Chaos Virus, Director Airan Cheng had already created a super-large protective shield covering the entire Kaburaya Islands, which could effectively block the invasion of the Chaos Virus.

Qi Ming believed in his technical level; this way, at least the most basic defense could be achieved.

So, at Director Airan Cheng's invitation, he visited the island this week to see the shield, and then was "incidentally" dragged onto a variety show discussing whether monsters should be protected.

The production team was invited by Director Airan Cheng.

Qi Ming certainly knew what Director Airan Cheng was up to, but he also understood that if you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.

So he was extremely cooperative throughout the whole process, giving him a lot of face, and praised Director Airan Cheng's righteousness in front of the camera, calling him a visionary hero.

After the program aired, because of Qi Ming's eloquence and appearance, the recognition for the monster sanctuary and Director Airan Cheng soared by a large margin, making the latter overjoyed.

…………………………

After returning to the Command Room base, Saijo Xi Tiao told Qi Ming that big trouble was coming.

"An asteroid named 'Demon Star Koala' is crashing toward Earth! If it hits Earth, everything will be over!"

Demon Star Koala crashing into Earth—isn't this the content from Episode 7 of "Ace," "Monster vs. Super Beast vs. Alien"?

In that episode, Team Member Soldier Shan Zhong's fiancée seemed to...

Antian: "Earth is in danger!"

Qi Ming: "Team Member Soldier Shan Zhong's fiancée is in danger."
