Ultraman: Forced to become the Dark Boss

He originally thought he was smart enough.

Unexpectedly, someone realized this early on and made the right decision.

This really surprised him.

This also made him curious about the calm girl beside him.

Even if this is a virtual world...

But how did she manage to remain so calm?

As the man pondered, he swiftly and decisively shot down several of the foremost alien beasts.

After the alien beasts were attracted by the two, the survivors breathed a sigh of relief. After circling around a bit, several of the faster ones came to the other weapons and picked up the Dragon God's specially made beam gun, which was hard to come by in reality.

He then fought alongside Xia Mu and the man.

With eight more helpers, the pressure on the two was greatly reduced, while the alien beast horde was gradually suppressed.

“cen…”

These ferocious and ugly monsters roared incessantly, trying to get closer to the group, but were quickly killed, unable to get even a fraction closer.

Those who did not receive weapons stood behind the others, looking dejected.

Many people looked on with envy at Xia Mu and the others who were firing their weapons.

"The first wave of challenges is over..."

"Challenge Successful: Xia Muqingxue, Yuan Xiuzhe... A total of ten people. All others are eliminated and automatically exit the virtual world. Please keep your body still and avoid large movements, and relax as much as possible..."

The mechanical voice sounded again, and the roaring horde of alien beasts all stopped abruptly. Some had extremely large mouths and sharp teeth on their faces, some remained pouncing, and others writhed on the ground...

But they all looked like sculptures, devoid of any life.

In short, the world seemed to stop the moment the sound appeared.

The only unrestricted participants are those who are selected.

The ten armed men looked delighted, and even Xia Mu couldn't hide his smile.

Among these people, Xia Mu is one of the few women, and also one who appears to be quite young.

Such a young, beautiful, and capable girl naturally attracts the attention of many men.

Many men also secretly cast illicit glances at Xia Mu.

Xia Mu didn't care about this at all.

She only cared about how the next wave would proceed and how to become the final winner.

Those who failed to advance were dejected, their faces gloomy and their spirits low.

There's nothing we can do; they were too lax and reacted too slowly.

I can't blame anyone else; I can only blame myself for not working hard enough.

"It seems that as long as you get a weapon, you've already advanced."

The man glanced at the other advanceees, clearly having figured it out.

Xia Mu, however, thought it wasn't that simple.

On a dangerous beach, the first thing to do is to remain highly vigilant.

Especially the unknown challenges that may arise at any time. In other words, in unfamiliar environments, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you should not be distracted and should always be vigilant.

This time, Xia Mu stumbled upon the beach by accident, acting on instinct.

The scenario for this exercise was definitely based on everyone's ideas. Beautiful seaside scenery? I'll just give you a bunch of alien beasts. In short, danger will quietly descend when the participants are most relaxed.

From a designer's perspective, this approach is actually quite predictable.

Secondly, there are only ten weapons in total, and only the fastest person who makes the decision first can get them.

Those are the people who react the fastest when faced with a crisis.

Finally, after obtaining the weapons, the ten people must unite to resist the approaching alien beasts.

Once this is accomplished, the selection process can be concluded.

The scene is changing...

As the mechanical sound rang out, the losers vanished from their spots.

Those who advance will witness firsthand the dramatic changes that begin to take place.

First, all the sights melted away, whether it was the sea, the sun, or the beach beneath your feet.

The waves began to "disintegrate," and at a speed unimaginable to the participants, the ocean, which occupied the largest part of the scene, soon began to disappear.

Large swaths of sand disappeared, and the sky gradually crumbled, as if it were the end of the world.

After they disappeared, what appeared to be a dazzling array of "code" suddenly burst forth from all corners of the scene, and amidst the radiant light, several people instinctively covered their eyes.

"weng..."

“shua…”

Within seconds, they heard the roar of a large aircraft and the sound of a fighter jet rapidly diving at low altitude.

The ten winners carefully opened their eyes and saw a truly magnificent sight.

In front of them, ten Shenying-1 fighter jets stood in a row, their fuselages tilted, perfectly showcasing their shapes.

At this moment, they are sleeping peacefully in the open tarmac.

Like a divine eagle soaring in the sky, taking a brief rest on the earth.

The perfect combination of light black and light gray, the visual impact of the specially made metal, and the unique eagle shape all highlight its intimidating power.

This represents the pinnacle of human technology and the most powerful air force.

It is also the UPIC's current active-duty fighter jet.

Next to the Divine Eagle fighter jet, there were also ten Alpha combat vehicles that looked like sports cars.

Judging by their appearance alone, they seem to be just ordinary sports cars.

However, the rapid-fire cannon mounted on the roof speaks volumes about its extraordinary nature.

In the center of the protruding "metal box" on the roof, the cannon barrel, reflecting strange colors under the light, is faintly visible, yet it doesn't look out of place at all.

At the center of the tail fin-like device, there are two retractable automatic beam cannons that can strike enemies behind and to the sides in the shortest time, with the same power as airborne homing missiles.

When the vehicle is in motion, the chassis can be partially separated from the body, thus exposing the Alpha cluster gun within, which theoretically has the power to severely damage Dinozor in one shot.

"Please choose to pilot either the Divine Eagle fighter jet or the Alpha combat vehicle."

"All personnel enter the fuselage or armored vehicle to begin the challenge."

The mechanical voice still sounded out of nowhere.

Fortunately, the ten finalists have gotten used to it and won't be startled anymore.

Chapter 82 Side Story: Xia Mu's Advance: Dinozoll (Part 1)

...

"My goodness, I never imagined they even had airplanes, and even eagles..."

Why are we only finding out about this technology now?

"I wonder when it will be available for civilian use. It will be amazing to play games on it!"

"No, no, no, it would be such a waste to use such great technology for gaming!"

The advanced participants were all shocked and kept exclaiming in amazement. Some even couldn't help but run towards the fighter jet.

As for the Alfa Romeo tank on the other side, no one paid any attention to it.

Only Xia Mu and the man who had obtained the weapon first remained standing in the same spot.

"Um... Miss Xia Mu, will you be driving with me..."

The man who received the weapon first extended an invitation to Xia Muqingxue, who was standing to the side lost in thought.

Unfortunately, all that looked forward to it was met with a heartless rejection.

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with piloting fighter jets."

Xia Mu shook his head and walked towards the Alpha vehicle next to him.

She was probably the only one who chose the chariot.

After passing this stage, all that's left is probably the final interview.

The previous stage tested crisis management and teamwork skills, but this stage truly tests the participants' abilities, namely driving skills and adaptability.

There are probably very few UPIC team members who can't drive vehicles.

As the only woman among those who have advanced so far, she is indeed very special.

Xia Mu herself was aware of this, so she always tried her best to avoid it.

Playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses is a very simple principle.

Moreover, tanks are not necessarily inferior to fighter jets.

"I haven't even said whether I'm piloting a fighter jet..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Xia Mu had already walked away.

"Ok."

The man smiled helplessly, then looked regretful, unable to understand why he had been rejected.

All warriors entering the UPC will undergo a basic understanding of various vehicles. Although they will not become experts, they can still drive them with some difficulty.

These people are probably at this level.

So the reason that he can't fly a fighter jet seems rather far-fetched.

Fortunately, the man's attention was quickly drawn to the divine eagle.

Indeed, faced with the cool and powerful Divine Eagle fighter jet, nothing else seems to matter.
