New Ultraman: Monster Training Master

They say one bug is a bug, but a bunch of bugs can work.

Xingchuan felt this deeply at this moment. Who would have thought that the aliens who specialized in capturing Earthlings would be captured by another alien?

The underlying logic of how this world works is probably a mountain of unmaintained "shit code".

Abbas: "Come, join us, and you can achieve unimaginable glory."

"That sounds really tempting, but!" Hoshikawa suddenly looked up, his eyes sharp: "I refuse!"

"How foolish, you're just as foolish as any other Earthling." Seeing that gentle persuasion wasn't working, Abbas decided to resort to force.

"Can't understand human language? Then try this, throw a flashbang!" Hoshikawa decisively threw a flashbang and quickly turned his back.

A sudden burst of intense light and piercing noise caused Hoshikawa to reveal a mask of pain.

"My eyes! My eyes!" Abbas screamed repeatedly, covering his eyes and stumbling as he turned and fled.

A chase ensued inside the spaceship.

Abbas ran ahead, and Hoshikawa chased after him.

Taking advantage of his familiarity with the terrain, Abbas skillfully maneuvered left and right, managing to distance himself from Hoshikawa.

Having finally regained his sight, Abbas was about to turn around and retaliate when another flashbang was thrown at him.

"Damn it! Where did you, a human, get so many gadgets?!" Abbas yelled in despair.

Hoshikawa: "Do you know about Doraemon's pocket?"

Abbas shook his head.

Hoshikawa: "That's right, because it has nothing to do with that. I just happened to bring a few flashbangs with me when I went out today."

He wasn't just making things up.

I figured that since crow people are nocturnal creatures, flashbangs might be surprisingly effective against them, so I brought a few with me when I went out.

Surprisingly, it wasn't used against the Crow People, but instead against the Abbas.

Hoshikawa took out two more flashbangs and ran towards Abbas.

Upon seeing this scene, Abbas, who had just regained his sight, was terrified and immediately ran away around the stone pillar.

In the group of stone pillars, Abbas successfully restrained Hoshikawa for two minutes using the divine skill of Qin Wang circling the pillar, earning the title [Dancer on the Edge of a Knife].

Hoshikawa used a flashbang to force Abbas to run away, earning him the title of [Item Master].

After a chase, Abbas successfully shook off Hoshikawa, reached the teleportation array, and left the spaceship.

Exhausted, Hoshikawa leaned against a stone pillar, panting, and watched helplessly as Abbas disappeared into the spaceship: "Is that guy a dog? He ran so fast."

"Hmm?" Hoshikawa felt that the lines on his palm were somewhat familiar. He took his hand away and found that it was Aihara Ryu's face.

Just then, an alien with a blue gem embedded in his face quietly appeared inside the spaceship.

"I am Redel from Star Standel, here to help you." A gentle telepathic message echoed directly in Hoshikawa's mind.

Redel reassured Hoshikawa, explaining that it had encountered a kind old woman on Earth, an experience that taught it something more important than its mission.

Therefore, its purpose in coming here is to help Hoshikawa rescue the petrified humans.

Seeing that Redel dared to appear in the dark, Hoshikawa believed almost everything he said.

Under his watchful eye, Raeder opened the door to the ship's main control room, preparing to rescue all those who had been turned into statues.

"Wait!" Hoshikawa suddenly called out, quickly walked to a crow-man statue, and fired his gun.

The stone statue shattered upon impact. However, the expected system notification did not sound.

Hoshikawa frowned, walked to another crow-man statue, and shot it down again.

The system's voice still did not sound.

The system's voice finally arrived after he had smashed all the crow statues one by one.

[Defeat the petrified Lebik alien to gain 1 Monster Coin x5]

"Only one point for each animal? That's such a stingy calculation!" Hoshikawa couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Is it ready?" Redell asked.

Hoshikawa put away his gun and gave an OK sign.

As Raedel pressed a button, all the statues were enveloped in a blue light and then teleported to the ground.

On the ground, the rescued people looked around blankly.

Fumio Kishida rubbed his temples. "My head is spinning... I remember the four of us were captured by a spaceship?"

"You're not mistaken." Masaki Keigo pointed to the spaceship hovering in the air. "If I'm not mistaken, it was Hoshikawa who saved us this time."

Fumio Kishida: "Where is he? Is he still on the spaceship?"

In Kishida Fumio's mind, Hoshikawa must have gone through eighty-one tribulations and paid a huge price to successfully rescue them.

Abbas: Does "huge cost" refer to the number of flashbangs consumed?

Aihara Ryu: "Is Hoshikawa still fighting the aliens inside the spaceship? Should we go help him?"

Masaki Keigo wanted to go up and help Hoshikawa, but the problem was how to get into the spaceship.

They didn't come out piloting fighter jets.

Before they could come up with a solution, a beam of light descended from the sky, and Xingchuan's figure appeared within it.

Seeing Hoshikawa emerge from the pillar of light, the three immediately surrounded him. Kishida Fumio spoke first: "Hoshikawa, you must have suffered a lot to save us. You've really worked hard."

Aihara Ryu: "Thank you for your hard work."

Masaki Keigo: "Consider this a favor I owe you. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."

Hoshikawa was speechless, wondering what was wrong with the three people in front of him.

He ignored the three men, walked aside, and reported the situation to Dan Moroboshi.

After listening to Hoshikawa's report, Moroboshi Dan didn't say much, but simply told them to return to the base.

······

Fumio Kishida slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Our deductions are definitely flawed!"

Hoshikawa shook his head: "No, our speculation is correct, and aliens have indeed appeared."

He recounted the scene of seeing the crow-man statue inside the spaceship.

"Sigh!" The others were surprised to hear this.

Yuka Ota immediately became infatuated: "An alien the size of a human, and it looks like a crow, I really want to dissect it!"

Fumio Kishida: "My mind is a bit of a mess right now. According to you, yesterday's bait plan was very successful."

"It's just that the aliens who were supposed to capture us got captured by other aliens."

Isn't this a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

Masaki Keigo: "Why are you all focusing on useless things? Shouldn't we be focusing on the fact that aliens are afraid of bright light?"

Yuka Ota raised her hand: "I have an idea. Since Hoshikawa said that aliens are afraid of strong light, why don't we make a high-lumen flashlight?"

Aihara Ryu hesitated: "To make a flashlight that can deal with aliens, how many lumens would it need to produce?"

Hoshikawa held out his hand and made a two-pointer.

Aihara Ryu: "Two thousand lumens, that should be enough."

"Two thousand?" Hoshikawa urged Aihara Ryu to think even higher.

"Twenty thousand? That's a bit too high." Aihara Ryu was dumbfounded.

A typical household flashlight only needs 300 lumens, and even a flashlight used for nighttime illumination costs at most a few thousand lumens.
