After a while, Yuan Mao quietly "refreshed" at the entrance of this proctology clinic. Although he demonstrated his solid basic skills to the doctor, which amazed the doctor that he could do so much at such a young age, it was a legitimate clinic. As an unregistered person with nothing to offer, the doctor really didn't have the courage to take him in as a worker.

However, the doctor, for some reason, didn't accept Yuan Mao as a student, but still made Yuan Mao give him a small red envelope. He told Yuan Mao not to think too much, not to waste his energy on those random part-time jobs, and to focus on his studies. He said that if he planned to work in this field in the future, getting into medical school would be the most important thing.

Yuan Mao felt it was inappropriate to accept money without having done anything, so he refused the red envelope. His mother-in-law had said that there is nothing in this world that can be obtained without effort; it's just that sometimes you are unaware of the price you pay.

So, I guess I'll just have to go to the hair salon now, though I don't know if it's too late.

After walking for a while, Yuan Mao asked a passerby for directions, then realized he was going the wrong way and quickly turned around. About ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the Qingshan Barber Shop. There were indeed still posters advertising hair models outside. Yuan Mao pushed open the door and pointed outside, saying:

"Excuse me, are you still hiring?"

"Oh! What a handsome young man."

When Tony, the hairdresser in the shop, saw Gen Subaru, his eyes lit up. Although Gen Subaru still looked like a teenager and hadn't fully grown up yet, his distinct features, clear eyes like a spring, and the figure that showed up under the strange uniform made it clear that as long as he didn't get too fat in the future, he would definitely be a very popular young man.

only....

Tony the hairstylist glanced at Gen Subaru's hair. The only drawback was that the guy's hair wasn't very long. According to the requirements for hair models, he wasn't a qualified candidate.

Well, barely passing is still passing. The key to a hair model is the model himself. At worst, we can just put a wig on the kid later.

So, Yuan Mao successfully found his first job. However, Yuan Mao currently has no phone number, no address, and no contact information, which makes it difficult for him to answer Tony's questions for a while. Fortunately, Tony didn't ask too many questions. After agreeing on a meeting time for the next day, he let Yuan Mao leave.

But the money was still not enough. Yuan Mao didn't know if the price they offered him was reasonable, but that didn't matter. What mattered was finding a new job, preferably one that paid daily wages. Yuan Mao looked at the bustling street and felt a slight headache. He now felt that fighting monsters was actually quite nice. Although he liked humans, he was still a little uncomfortable dealing with them.

My mother-in-law once said, "Don't be afraid of embarrassment; social terrorists are also part of the social anxiety group, so you have to try it..."

So, what exactly has my mother-in-law seen? This statement is completely out of character for her age.

Gen Subaru made a slight complaint, then strode... ah, no, he changed to strolling leisurely towards the new store. This time, Gen Subaru went to a convenience store because he finally remembered that Shiori-nee, Saijo-nee, and Captain Wakura all seemed to have worked at convenience stores before. It sounded like they were short-staffed.

Ok? !

Just then, Gen Subaru noticed something. His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes sharpened. In that instant, he felt a slight tremor in the ground. It wasn't the usual earthquake in Japan, but rather a sensation as if something was suddenly thrusting upwards and crashing into him, as if a large object was about to emerge from underground.

Could it be that besides the monsters in those towns, there are other things lurking underground?

Thinking of this, Gen Subaru's expression turned even more grim. If it were true, then the humans in this town would be quite unfortunate, not only being surrounded by monsters, but also living above monster lairs.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Gen Subaru took out the Evolution Truster from his pocket. Because Gen Subaru was in a very bad state, this transformation device, which was directly linked to him, also changed. It not only became smaller, but most of it was also petrified, but it could still function as a transformation device.

However, to be honest, Gen Subaru wasn't sure if he could transform again after this transformation, or more accurately, whether he could transform at all.

"boom!!!!"

At that moment, accompanied by a roar, a huge monster appeared in the town. It was a creature that resembled a combination of a bird and a Shiba Inu, but the monster's head was like a snake, coiled around its strange neck and chest. In addition, the monster's body was covered with patchwork-like scales, making it feel like it could blend into a movie set of alien beasts.

'Nexus!'

"Well!!!"

Without hesitation, Gen Subaru pulled out the petrified Evolution Truster and called out Nexus's name in his heart. The shrunken transformation device responded, emitting a faint glow. However, Gen Subaru's body suddenly froze, as if a frame had been dropped. The rebounding force caused Gen Subaru to fall heavily to the ground.

He could feel the pain in his internal organs, as if they were being burned. At this moment, the light particles that made up his body were trying their best to respond to the transformation, but in the end, they were powerless to do so.

Damn it, stop right there!

Gen Subaru clutched his chest and reached out towards the monster. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his brain caused by using his psychic powers, his eyes shone with golden light, and he forcefully pressed the enormous monster to the spot, rendering it unable to move for a moment.

But it happened in an instant. Subaru's Ultra Nen was no longer enough to directly fight the monster. As the monster broke free from the Nen suppression with brute force, Subaru almost fainted.

Yuan Mao gritted his teeth and endured the time when his vision went black. Just as he was about to try another method to transform, he suddenly felt a strange movement on his wrist. Looking down, he saw that his broken Ark Bracelet was emitting light. According to the frequency on it, it was Gridman calling him.

Does this person have another way?

Thinking of this, Gen Subaru hurriedly ran towards the secondhand store "Ayaka JUNK SHOP". Although he stumbled along, he was still accelerating. After getting used to this body, although his running posture was a bit awkward, his speed had increased again compared to before.

Finally, Subaru arrived at the front of the secondhand shop "Ayaka JUNK SHOP". He took a breath and rushed in. Then he met the gaze of Rikka Takarada, who was quickly packing her things while the monster was still far away, preparing to move to a safe area.

"You...you really like that old computer that much?"

Rikka Takarada paused for a moment, then thought about it and realized that the only reason this guest would run back was that old computer. But that computer shouldn't be enough, especially now that monsters have come. She shouldn't risk her life!

Thinking of this, Rikka Takarada grabbed Subaru's wrist without hesitation and said in a low voice:

"Forget about the computer, let's escape."

"Huh? No, wait, wait..."

Subaru didn't quite catch on to Rikka Takarada's train of thought. The girl grabbed his arm and dragged him outside. Watching the doorway he'd finally reached recede further and further away, Subaru's eyes widened in disbelief. He was especially exasperated when he realized he couldn't break free from her 'hold.' Finally, he had to muster another burst of Nen power to break free and regain his freedom...

"Oh, forget about that computer, why are you so stubborn?"

Looking at his wrist, which had been grabbed again, Gen Subaru fell into a silent slumber...

No, what's the current state of my body?!

276 Gridman: Four years old?!

Now, Gen Subaru has a clearer understanding of his current physical condition. He is truly powerless, even weaker than when he was in Mikami-cho.

But don't actually think that this will give you the upper hand.

Despite his passionate shouts, being put in this situation by a human girl was quite embarrassing. Having learned from this experience, Subaru used his telekinesis to break free and nimbly dodged Rikka Takarada's hand, rushing towards the secondhand shop "Ayaka Junk Shop".

Rikka Takarada watched Subaru's retreating figure, scratching her head with a slight chill, then decided to ignore it. Putting aside any thoughts of helping others and respecting their fate... what a joke!

Rikka Takarada, unable to bear it any longer, turned and ran towards the secondhand shop. This customer, who was good-looking but mentally unstable, was truly unbearable!

"Gulit, I'm here."

On the other side, Subaru finally arrived in front of the old-fashioned computer, looked at the Gridman projection on the screen, and said breathlessly:

"It was you calling me, wasn't it?"

"Yes."

Gu Li nodded and said in a deep voice:

"In this world, I am nothing but a formless energy. If I cannot merge with you, I cannot fight."

"Then what are you waiting for? Tell me, what should I do?"

Yuan Mao anxiously pressed for answers, explaining that during that brief commotion, the monster had already approached the densely populated area.

At that moment, the screen of the old-fashioned computer lit up, and the Ark Bracelet on Genji's wrist transformed into a new transformation item, from which Gridman's voice came out:

"This is my primal acceptor and yours. With your will, link me with the access flash."

"I understand."

Gen Subaru raised his left hand, pointing the Primal Fusion Device at the computer screen, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Access Flash!"

As the words fell, the screen lit up with a dazzling light. Then, accompanied by white, dotted lines resembling data streams connecting energy, they extended from the screen, guiding Gen Subaru into the data space where Gridman was located.

This scene was witnessed by Rikka Takarada, who had rushed back. At first, she thought the customer had gone mad, but to her surprise, he slipped inside in the blink of an eye. This sight opened Rikka Takarada's eyes, and she subconsciously whispered:

"Computers used to be terrifying..."

Then, Rikka Takarada realized what was happening and carefully moved towards the old-fashioned computer. She then saw on the screen that the guest and a robot were standing opposite each other, with dotted lines of light connecting their heads.

It was only then that Rikka Takarada suddenly realized that the screen hadn't actually been filled with static, but rather that she couldn't see the real image on it.

No matter how shocked Rikka Takarada was, Subaru Minamoto couldn't care less about that. After completing the link with Gridman, he took over the transformation right before Gridman's astonished eyes, grew to gigantic size and materialized, and appeared in the town, blocking the advancing monster.

This body... is so uncomfortable.

Gen Subaru moved Gridman's body a little. The agent's mecha was quite flexible, but it felt completely different from when he used Nexus's Light. One was like going into battle on his own, while the other was like wearing external power armor. Although there were not many restrictions on movement, he still had to get used to it.

'Wow!'

Just as Subaru was adjusting to his new body, the gigantic Gridman charged towards the monster. It seemed Gridman's true form realized Subaru wasn't affected and took matters into its own hands, giving Subaru the opportunity...

Wait, let me see what kind of equipment this Gridman brought with him.

The Tectorion Blade, the crown of the Gridman helmet, can easily cut through steel. Radar Ears, capable of hearing ultrasonic and infrasound waves inaudible to humans...

The Tectron armor, the silver armor on the chest and back of the Gridman, is harder than any alloy on Earth and can withstand low temperatures, high temperatures, lightning, and destructive energy at the level of tearing space.

Gridman's ankles allow him to freely control gravity. He makes his body lighter when jumping and heavier when performing a flying kick. Gridman's right wristband can emit photoelectric energy.

The energy lamp normally glows blue, but when the computer it's attached to is overloaded or its own energy is insufficient, it will flash continuously and emit warning sounds to indicate the limits of its activity. It can also fire grenade beams...

Wait a minute!! What did I just see?!

Yuan Mao flipped back the electronic projection instruction manual in front of him a bit, then fell into thought—

The computer it was using was overloaded...

So your transformation is affected by external devices? Then... how long can that old computer last, and to what extent?

"Wow!!!"

Just then, Gen Subaru felt a tremor around him and felt pain. Although he didn't know if it was because of the connection between Gridman and the Amalgamator, or because he was the Light of Nexus, there was no doubt that when the gigantic Gridman was injured, Gen Subaru inside it seemed to be injured as well.

However, it wasn't as extreme as when I transformed into Nexus, but I still felt pain.

At this moment, Gen Subaru glanced outside and saw that Gridman was in a rather miserable state, being beaten down by the monster. It seemed that his movements were restricted by the old-fashioned computer. In that case, let me take over. Although I am young, I have quite a bit of experience in fighting.
