Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 643 What? Do we still have to pay wages to the black slaves?

"Change jobs?"

The girls all looked up at Lin Yu, puzzled.

"Correct."

Lin Yu snapped his fingers, his smile growing even brighter. "I'm assembling a special defense team dedicated to maintaining peace and stability in the multiverse. I see that you all have extraordinary potential, each a one-in-a-million genius. Are you interested in joining us to save more worlds?"

Multiverse? Saving the world?
These words were far too advanced for the girls who had just escaped the apocalypse.

They exchanged bewildered glances, their faces showing hesitation. Although the man before them was their hero who had saved them, suddenly having to follow a "god" they had only known for a few days to explore the universe seemed like a huge leap.

Lin Yu immediately understood when he saw their expressions.

Oh no, I haven't built up enough goodwill, and the foundation of trust isn't solid enough.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately unleashed his trump card.

"Of course, I know this is sudden. However, our team has also invited one of the heroes you are most familiar with." He deliberately kept everyone in suspense, "Shin Asuka will also join us after he finishes dealing with things in his own world."

"Asuka-kun?!"

"The senior is coming too?!"

The girls of Team-U, especially Anna and Misato, had their eyes light up instantly. Although Nozomi Taiga was gone, Shin Asuka's name represented their initial hope and deepest bond to them.

If Asuka Shin were also there, the reliability of this matter would instantly increase by several levels.

Seeing their wavering expressions, Lin Yu chuckled inwardly, knowing he had grasped the key. But he still noticed a hint of concern deep in their eyes.

By the way, they still have family in this world; they are not alone.

“I know everyone still has concerns, such as family or hometown.”

Lin Yu added understandingly, "There's absolutely no need to worry about that. One of the perks of our team is that we can go home to visit our families anytime."

As he spoke, he casually made a gesture in the air.

scoff-

Space was torn apart like a piece of cloth, revealing a golden rift radiating a soft light. On the other side of the rift, the familiar, now bustling city streetscape was clearly reflected.

"Have you seen Doraemon?"

Lin Yu pointed at the spatial portal, smiling like a child who had just received a new toy, "Anywhere Door, you know? If you miss home, you can come back anytime, it's even more convenient than taking the subway."

"Wow--"

The girls let out a unified gasp of surprise.

Saki Takayama was the first to rush over, cautiously reaching out her hand through the door to feel the air on the other side before quickly pulling it back, her face filled with excitement.

"Really! It's true! That's awesome! That's absolutely awesome!"

She jumped up excitedly, turned to look at her companions, and announced loudly, "I'm joining! Saving the world is so cool!"

Her enthusiasm instantly ignited the passion of everyone else.

"If... if we could repair larger mechs, like robots..."

Nonoko Akahoshi pushed up her glasses, her eyes gleaming with the fervor typical of a tech geek. "I...I want to try it too!"

In this world, she's mostly limited to repairing appliances and cars. But if she joins the Multiverse Defense Force, she'll have access to a completely different level of advanced technology!

This temptation is fatal for a mechanic.

"Will I be able to see all sorts of different patients? Or even... aliens?" Risa, the medic, mustered up her courage to ask.

"Of course, I guarantee you'll be amazed by all sorts of difficult and complicated cases," Lin Yu assured him, patting his chest.

Seeing that the atmosphere had been set and everyone's intentions were basically clear, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction.

"Great! We can be together again!" the girls cheered and hugged each other.

Having figured out their future direction, they completely relaxed, and their curiosity began to surface.

Several people surrounded Lin Yu and Asuka Kazuma, chattering excitedly. "Mr. Lin Yu, what does it feel like to transform into Ultraman? Does it become very, very big?"

"Mr. Asuka, what do you Ultraman usually eat? Do you eat meals too?"

"When using light, do you need to shout its name? Does the louder you shout, the stronger it becomes?"

Faced with these bizarre questions, Pegasus still wanted to maintain his senior's composure and answer them one by one, but Lin Yu had already started talking nonsense.

"Transformation is just like getting dressed; you'll get used to it. As for beam attacks, you have to shout them out! Not only do you have to shout them out, but your pose has to be cool, otherwise you'll lose in terms of presence!"

Asuka Kazuma's eyelids twitched as he listened, and he really wanted to correct him, but seeing the girls' "I see" expressions, he swallowed his words back.

Forget it, just be happy.

Amidst the laughter and cheers, Captain Anna suddenly thought of a very real problem.

She raised her hand, like a student asking a question in class, and asked earnestly, "Um... Mr. Lin Yu, may I ask... what are the salary and benefits like if we join the defense team?"

"what?"

The smile on Lin Yu's face froze instantly.

Salary? Benefits?
He was stunned.

It seems... no one has ever asked him this question.

His mind raced through the images of the "employees" in his cult.

Camilla is love-struck; she'd even pay someone to help her.

Alena, the former princess, has no concept of money.

The Renlong, a mythical beast, has no worldly desires.

Obik, an ancient monster, can be appeased with a bowl of buckwheat noodles.

Zamsha, the cosmic swordsman, is only interested in fighting.

……

Oh no! All the people under my command, from Ultraman to Dark Giants, from monsters to aliens and ghosts, are being used as slaves!
It seems like my boss has never even considered paying salaries!
An emotion called "embarrassment" instantly rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Looking at the girls' expectant eyes, Lin Yu felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

No, we can't lose our momentum.

He straightened his back, cleared his throat, and said in an unquestionable tone, "The benefits are absolutely generous. Five social insurances and one housing fund, paid annual leave, free meals and accommodation, regular team building activities and space trips, and bonuses and performance bonuses will make your hands sore from carrying them."

He drew up a pie in the sky that could be described as the most generous welfare in the universe.

Seeing the girls' eyes light up instantly, and their faces beaming with happiness as if they had chosen the right people, Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it scared them off.

Forget it! The cult's finances are entirely controlled by Maya anyway, so I'll leave this trivial matter to her. I'm only responsible for recruiting members and paying salaries—how could I, the "Ultimate Galactic Emperor," possibly worry about such mundane things?
Thinking of this, Lin Yu felt happy again.

"Okay, I've already contacted Asuka Shin."

He clapped his hands, steer the conversation back on track, "He'll come pick you up once he's finished dealing with things in his own world. If you have anyone to say goodbye to or any personal matters to attend to, you can prepare in advance."

"Yes!" the girls responded in unison, full of enthusiasm.

With the matter settled, Lin Yu prepared to set off. His ultimate goal for this trip remained the D4 device hidden during the Belial Galactic Empire era.

“Senior Kazuma, we should go.” He said to Kazuma Asuka.

Kazuma Asuka nodded and waved goodbye to the Team-U members.

Lin Yu turned around, and the enormous spacetime city tore through the sky once more, slowly descending. He led Asuka Kazuma into the light staircase leading to the fortress.

"Everyone, see you later."

As he waved goodbye, Time City transformed into a streak of light and vanished at the edge of this world.
