Ultraman: A good pilot doesn't choose his own Ultraman.

Chapter 162, Section 161: Daigo: Ultraman Doesn't Exist (Fourth Update)

Jiang Yu casually snapped a photo of birds perched on the riverbank, and after confirming that his photography skills hadn't deteriorated, he deleted it with satisfaction.

The world hasn't yet produced any monsters that can become viral content simply by being filmed. With Jiang Yu's current skills, he's not yet capable of making a living from this craft.

If you want to take on themed missions from magazines like in the Ultraman Tiga world, frankly, the magazine owners here are definitely not from TPC.

In summary, Jiang Yu urgently needs a job now that he can no longer make a living by taking photos.

Based on his understanding of the purchasing power of the yen, the money in his wallet was only enough to buy a few cups of instant noodles.

Sigh, I miss the days when I could just find a convenience store and do manual labor.

However, Daigo should have a way.

If I remember correctly, the person who transformed into Ultraman Ace, Seiji Hokuto, should have run a bakery.

He can learn to make bread; he doesn't even need a salary, as long as he doesn't starve.

If Jiang Yu starves to death before the monster appears, then there will be a new hellish joke in hell after he dies.

Carrying his camera, Jiang Yu prepared to go to the nearest convenience store to buy instant noodles.

I don't really want to eat it, but that's all I can afford.

Hungry. First day of missing Grandma at Chaoba.

As night fell, all the children who had been playing outside were called home by their parents.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street; almost all of them were office workers who had just finished working overtime.

After finishing two more buckets of instant noodles, Jiang Yu threw away the trash and knocked on the door of his neighbor, Da Gu.

Standing at the door of Da Gu's house, Jiang Yu sighed. He had to start work tomorrow morning, otherwise he would probably starve to death by noon.

I don't know how obsessed I am with Ultraman in this world. I've gone to the point of neglecting my life in order to research the ritual to summon Ultraman.

That's too stubborn. While stubbornness isn't necessarily a bad thing, going hungry definitely is.

After the doorbell rang, Daigo opened the door from the inside shortly afterward.

-

"Jiang Yu, you're here. Did you run out of food?"

I'm having dinner right now, would you like some?

Da Gu's enthusiastic invitation made Jiang Yu's brow twitch.

Tsk, does he think I can't afford to eat?

Jiang Yu wanted to refuse, but hunger made him face reality.

Well, Daigo has a good eye for people, so I'll accept it rather impolitely.

"Okay, then I'll take a bite."

A minute later, Da Gu and Jiang Yu each had two steaming cups of instant noodles in front of them.

Jiang Yu's face showed an expression of utter incomprehension. Didn't Da Gu have a job? Why was he eating this too?

It can't be because of some bad habit, right?

After glancing around behind Daigo, Jiang Yu looked away in confusion.

Aside from the essential furniture and related items, only a group of Ultraman dolls stood out.

The original, Seven, Jack, Ace.

Four of them shouldn't cost much, right?

Are they really that strapped for cash?

Daigo looked tired and a little embarrassed. Recently, Uncle Hayata brought up the engagement again, and he was a bit hesitant to spend money.

Moreover, because he was late almost every day, Daigo's attendance record was already appalling.

The monthly take-home pay isn't much, so I have to be frugal.

"By the way, Jiang Yu, is there something you need from me?"

Daigo picked up his chopsticks and slurped a mouthful of noodles.

"Well, I don't have much savings left, so I hope to find a job."

Daigo, do you have anyone you can recommend?

Jiang Yu explained that he always felt that Da Gu would be better off learning to make bread, at least he wouldn't have to eat instant noodles every day.

Jiang Yu prefers bread to cup noodles.

Things that are overseen by the Beidouxing Division must not have any problems.

As for the character of the director of the meat processing plant in the Land of Light, any human being can rest assured.

"Are you looking for a job? Jiang Yu, what are your specific requirements?"

Daigo felt a little troubled. If he could find a good job, he wouldn't be working as a tour guide at the tourism bureau.

He and Jiang Yu graduated from the same university, and if Jiang Yu wanted to find a job, their situations would be roughly the same.

However, due to the lack of work experience and the status of a recent graduate, it is actually even more difficult.

"I don't have any special requirements, as long as I don't starve, I don't need a salary."

Jiang Yu calmly put down his cup of noodles; he probably wouldn't stay here for long.

Let the world handle the rest.

He's so young, it's the time for him to work hard, but look at him, he's been forced to come here to work!

"Oh? That means there are quite a few choices."

Daigo felt a sense of relief and subconsciously thought of his closest uncles.

These uncles are all kind-hearted and would never cheat anyone. They may not be able to pay a high salary, but they can definitely keep Jiang Yu alive.

Thinking of Jiang Yu's stubborn nature in the past, Da Gu felt some sympathy for him.

Jiang Yu must have reached a dead end to ask him for help in this regard.

"Jiang Yu, what do you think of Uncle Beidou's bakery?"

"You mean that Uncle Hokuto who you said looked a lot like Ultraman Ace? You should still remember him, right?"

Daigo pointed to the Ace doll standing on the shelf. He didn't know why, but Jiang Yu used to insist that Uncle Beidou was Ultraman Ace.

He clearly didn't look like the person on TV at all. It took a long time of arguing with Jiang Yu before he finally admitted the truth.

Back then, Jiang Yu wasn't as secluded as he is now; he used to visit Uncle Hayata and the others every day.

It wasn't really playing; he was just watching from afar, which puzzled him just as much.

Having stayed at home for two years, I wonder if Jiang Yu still remembers Uncle Beidou and the others.

"Yes, I remember. If possible, could you please help me introduce him tomorrow, Daigo?"

If I can't start work tomorrow morning, I probably won't have money for breakfast.

After cleaning up the cup noodles, Jiang Yu sincerely explained his predicament.

"You really have come to this?"

Daigo, unfazed, took out the project proposal he was working on from the side.

"Jiang Yu, could you help me with a project proposal? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

"You've been researching how to summon Ultraman for so long, you haven't forgotten your professional knowledge, have you? You were the top student in our major back then."

Daigo yawned, and what he said made Jiang Yu feel uneasy.

Professional skills can be directly applied to tour guide work; the original owner and Daigo's expertise wouldn't be—

"Our major is tourism management?"

Jiang Yu asked uncertainly, hesitantly taking the paper that Daigu handed him.

He had only ever heard of this thing before; the original owner of this body was actually number one in his field.

"Yeah, you're not going to say you've even forgotten this, are you? I don't believe it."

Don't worry, it's just simple route planning; it'll be easy for you.

Hearing Da Gu's explanation, Jiang Yu finally felt relieved.

As for route planning, I happened to have learned a little bit about it while I was with the Victory team, so I won't seem any stranger.

What's wrong with the original owner of this body? He's actually a top student. This is so unlike him.

Daigo was engrossed in writing on the table, oblivious to Jiang Yu's changing expression.

Compared to Jiang Yu, who spends all his time studying Ultraman, he now feels that work is more important.

The childhood fascination with Ultraman often fades as we grow up, except for Jiang Yu.

After all, Ultraman doesn't exist.
