Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 524, Question 520: Is the son that mysterious Reonics?
Qi Ming finally decided to take it easy and watched Ultraman Tiga on TV with him: "What, are people in the system starting to cram for Ultraman now?"

Old Qi took a sip of tea: "One is never too old to learn. There may be other Ultraman or monsters appearing in the future."

"If we encounter any emergencies in the future, having reviewed this information will give us more confidence. It's always good to be prepared for anything."

Qi Ming nodded approvingly: "Old Qi is still very hardworking and ambitious, so he should be promoted one level. But he won't be able to go any higher, because he won't be able to keep up."

Old Qi was quite happy to hear his son praise him, but he immediately became displeased when he heard the second half of the sentence: "How can you be so insulting?"

Qi Ming: "I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I'm just worried you'll get too cocky."

Old Qi almost laughed in anger:

"Alright, alright, hurry up and tell me where you've been gallivanting around all this time. When I was your age, I was studying day and night... If your grades aren't good, who will respect you as the student council president?"

"You're something else, skipping all the exams, are you trying to fly to the moon?"

Qi Ming: "I have indeed been to heaven many times."

Old Qi: "?"

"Alright, Lao Qi, don't start arguing with the kids as soon as you get back." At that moment, a gentle female voice came from the kitchen.

Qi Ming's body stiffened.

He turned around and saw his mother coming out of the kitchen.

Even though she was over forty, time hadn't left many marks on her. Both she and Qi's father were very good-looking; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to have a son like Qi Ming.

"Mom..." Qi Ming had always considered himself not a sentimental person, but at this moment, seeing his mother, he couldn't remain calm.

In his view, Akane Shinjo was just a teammate who, like him, had "read the script" and could make decisions based on information at crucial moments, as well as banter and joke with each other.

But Chen Yang is his real mother.

"Mom, I'm back." All the words I wanted to say were finally condensed into these words.

"It's good that you're back. We can talk about it slowly." Chen Yang: "Teacher Gao is coming over for lunch later. Let's go grocery shopping together."

Chen Yang said that Teacher Gao taught Lao Qi, his uncle, and the monkey uncle that Qi Ming liked very much in college. They had a very good relationship with their family.

..........................................

Walking with his mother through the streets and alleys, Qi Ming glanced at the city hospital next to him while waiting for the traffic light at an intersection, trying to strike up a conversation: "Mom, you gave birth to me there, didn't you?"

"Hmm." Chen Yang patted Qi Ming's head: "You've grown so much in the blink of an eye."

Qi Ming glanced at the worn-out watch on his wrist: "By the way, Mom, I wanted to ask, what are your expectations for me? What level do you hope I can achieve in the future?"

Chen Yang: "Mom just hopes you'll be safe and sound. The world is getting more and more turbulent these days."

“There have been so many bad things happening in the news lately. Lao Qi and I have been very worried about you while you were away.”

Qi Ming felt ashamed: "I'm sorry..."

Chen Yang continued, "Even if you go out in the future, at least let your family know you're safe."

"Also, I hope you will seriously consider finding a partner, so that when your father and I are no longer here, you will still have someone to keep you company."

Qi Ming had stated long ago that "romantic feelings and affections will not affect my wandering the world." At the time, Old Qi was very dismissive, saying that Qi Ming was just young and foolish, and that he would naturally change his mindset when he got older.

Only Chen Yang vaguely realized that Qi Ming really wasn't interested in this matter, and he was somewhat worried.

Qi Ming: "My other half..."

This time, he didn't give a clear refusal; his eyes flickered, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

..........................................

After returning home, Qi Ming helped his mother in the kitchen. Soon after, Teacher Gao arrived.

His hair was gray, and he was dressed appropriately. Although he was over sixty years old, he appeared to be in good spirits.

"Hello, Grandpa Gao," Qi Ming greeted politely.

He greatly respected this elder who was always calm and composed, and learned a lot from him.

At the dinner table, the group chatted casually, and the topic that the whole world couldn't avoid these days was naturally Ultraman and monsters that appeared in real life.

Teacher Gao lamented that the world is becoming increasingly unfamiliar, with all sorts of evil running rampant, and humanity can no longer be the master of this earth.

The only ones capable of dealing with foreign monsters are the mysterious Reionics, who is also from abroad, and Ultraman.

Qi Ming asked, "Professor Gao, what are your thoughts on Reionics and Ultraman?"

Teacher Gao: "Of course we hope to reach out and cooperate. Whoever takes the first step will be at the forefront of the times and stand at the top of the wave."

"But these godlike things are too far removed from us. Even I can't access them. Let's just live our lives practically." "Xiaoming, Teacher Gao knows you're a very thoughtful and daring student. But you still need to abide by the rules of society, and you should study hard in university."

Now comes the main event: holding Qi Ming accountable.

Regardless, missing the exam and disappearing for more than half a month are both extremely absurd things.

Old Qi invited Teacher Gao, whom Qi Ming respected, over, partly to reconnect with him, and partly to ask him to persuade Qi Ming to settle down.

Qi Ming then took over the conversation: "I also have something I'd like to discuss with you. Let me make an assumption."

"Imagine I suddenly become a world-renowned celebrity, and you're all under a magnifying glass."

"Won't you be bothered by the intense scrutiny of your every move?"

Teacher Gao smiled and said, "Good, good, good! Xiaoming is finally going to work hard. You are a child with unlimited potential. You learn quickly, are quick-witted, and can keep up with the pace."

"Your teacher hopes that you will be admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and speak on the international stage in the future, so that the world can see the style of the Chinese people."

Old Qi imagined the scene and sighed, "If he can really achieve that in the future, then my life will have been worthwhile."

Qi Ming: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs... how about we go a little bolder with our imagination? The scene will be huge then."

Old Qi snorted, "Anyway, don't worry about it. What haven't I seen?"

"As long as you have nothing to hide, what do we have to worry about?"

"And how big can it get? You want to be the UN Secretary-General?"

"God," Qi Ming asked, "What if I became a god?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ming's parents were completely bewildered by his absurd words, while only Teacher Gao maintained his unchanging smile.

After realizing what had happened, Lao Qi became completely enraged and began to vent his anger from the past few days:

"God? I think you're crazy!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you out of your mind? We've been too lenient with you..."

"Boom!" The next moment, a violent tremor suddenly occurred. The teacups on the table clattered and rattled, spilling tea all over the table.

"An earthquake?" Old Qi sat up abruptly.

Qi Ming: "This feeling is so familiar to me, it's all too familiar."

He took out his phone, and just then, District 13 sent him a message.

They said—they've located Red King—it's underground in this Jingzhou City!

Qi Ming was very surprised. Could this be the so-called balance between good and evil?

Because I am here, evil will come to restrain me.

Old Qi abruptly pulled back the curtains. In the distance, on the city skyline, a huge dark shadow was emerging from the ground.

It's a skeletal monster—[Red King]!
Suddenly, Red King swung his tail, and an office building was cut in half. The ferocious and terrifying power made Old Qi's eyes widen.

I never imagined that my city would be attacked by monsters!

"Teacher Gao, I'll take you to safety!" Old Qi said.

Qi Ming stepped forward: "There's no need for that, it's just a Red King."

He summoned it, and the Ultimate Battle Device appeared in his hand, leaving the three of them stunned.

What's with this stick that appeared out of nowhere?

"Go, Silver Dragon, it's your choice!" Qi Ming shouted, "Stop Red King and drag it to the football field next door to fight!"

The next moment, a card-shaped beam of light shot out from the Battle Device and appeared in front of Red King, enlarging into a monster.

The mighty monster Silvergon makes another appearance.

"Roar!" Upon receiving Qi Ming's command, the silver dragon roared and charged forward.

It restrained Red King, who was about to wreak havoc on the city, and forcibly dragged him to an empty football field.

Qi Ming's three elders were all deeply shocked.

what's the situation?
Qi Ming suddenly took out a stick and then summoned a monster?

Holding the ultimate combat device, Qi Ming smiled and said:
"Since Grandpa Gao says Reonics is a god, it's not too much for me to agree, is it?"

"My dad actually said I'm crazy, which really hurt me so much."
