Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

The children didn't dislike the new coach at all; in fact, they liked him most of the time because Minghui always bought them treats.

Except... every time they run laps!

Good heavens! I'm just a kid, and you're making me run ten laps every day? Are you even human?!

Minghui ignored the children's complaints and even scoffed at them.

What good is mastering karate if you can't run fast enough to survive in this monster-infested world?

Just when Minghui was acting inhumanely, Fengyuan came knocking on his door with a smile on his face.

Glancing at him, Minghui said expressionlessly, "Not going to be intimate with your Ron anymore?"

At the mention of Ron, Feng Yuan's face lit up: "That little guy is so clingy, hahaha..."

Amidst the laughter, Fengyuan noticed Minghui's expression and promptly bowed.

"Feel sorry!"

"I'm so sorry for what happened yesterday! I'm really sorry!"

Minghui sighed and waved his hand: "Fine, forgiving you isn't impossible, but..."

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll definitely do it!" Feng Yuan patted his chest loudly.

"Lend me some money!"

Minghui was still thinking about his publicity plan, but it all required money. Although he had found a job and received an advance on a month's salary, it was far from enough.

"No problem! Let me see, there's still quite a bit of salary left from last month's paycheck. Here, take it all!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Yuan took out his wallet and, without even looking at it, pulled out a thick wad of cash.

Thanks!

Minghui took it and glanced at it; it was worth several hundred thousand yen, and he couldn't help but feel envious.

The MAC team pays really high salaries!

"that......"

Fengyuan put away her empty wallet, then looked at Minghui, stammering and somewhat embarrassed.

Minghui looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

"Um... could you give me some Specium substance? Just a little bit!" Feng Yuan asked, his expression becoming increasingly awkward.

"For Ron?" Minghui frowned.

Feng Yuan nodded honestly: "Mm."

Minghui sighed inwardly; Fengyuan really had a hard life.

He had kept the pain of his home planet destroyed and his loved ones killed deep in his heart, but he never forgot it. When he encountered his former pet, these emotions suddenly erupted, causing him to lose his composure.

“Unfortunately, we’ve run out of Specium materials,” Minghui said.

"You've used it all up?" Feng Yuan was taken aback, then tentatively asked, "Then, you've mastered it?"

"Mm." Minghui nodded with a smile.

"That's great, as expected of you." Feng Yuan was genuinely happy for him. No matter who it was, as long as they became stronger, the safety of Earth would be even greater.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. I'll figure out a way to deal with Ron's situation."

Feng Yuan scratched his head and said nothing more.

He turned and left, and at that moment, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.

Minghui frowned as he watched Fengyuan's departing figure.

That night.

While everyone was fast asleep, a dog stealthily slipped into Minghui's room.

Chapter 39 The Poor (crossed out) Cunning Wandering Monster

The suspicious figure landed lightly with its paw raised, looking around and sniffing around with its keen nose.

"Don't tell me you're lost."

Just then, a faint voice rang out.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, bright lights were turned on, illuminating everything in the room.

Minghui stood by the wall, his hand still in the position of turning on the light, looking at the uninvited guest who had sneaked in with a half-smile.

Ron tilted his head back, grinned, and stuck out his tongue, revealing a harmless smile.

"This place is huge! I accidentally went into the wrong room. Hey, young man, why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late!"

A somewhat immature voice, sounding like a child's, rang in Minghui's mind.

Telepathy?

It's somewhat similar to Ultraman's mind.

Minghui's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't surprised. It was quite reasonable for a cosmic monster to have some minor skills.

"Humph!"

Minghui glanced at it indifferently, then walked to the bedside and sat down, saying, "Don't waste your energy, the Specium substance is gone."

Ron didn't answer, he just stared at Minghui.

Seeing this, Minghui shook his head, pulled a box out from under the bed, opened it, took out the ore that had lost all its mystique, and showed it to the creature: "If you want it, then take it!"

Upon seeing the dusty, gray stone, Ron immediately panicked. He began rolling on the ground, letting out a pitiful howl.

"It's all gone, really all gone! How could you have used it all up! I'm doomed, I'm finished..."

Hearing the childish voice in his mind, Minghui couldn't hold back any longer: "What do you need this thing for... cough... actually, given my relationship with Fengyuan, giving you a little wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately..."

He wasn't lying. If the system had any Specium matter left after extracting the Specium Ray, he would give it all to Ron, since it was no longer useful to him.

Furthermore, he later inquired with Dan Moroboshi, who explained that learning the Specium Ray would consume the medium, so he never intended to be able to take it back in the first place.

In other words, the ore now belongs entirely to him, and he can dispose of it as he pleases.

However, now that there is no Specium material left, Minghui can only apologize.

Are you telling the truth?

Upon hearing Minghui's words, Ron's crying stopped abruptly. He rolled over and got up from the ground, staring intently at Minghui.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Minghui's heart, but after thinking it over, he couldn't find anything of importance worth coveting. He could only hesitate before speaking, "Of course, it's just that we really don't have any Specium matter anymore..."

"It's okay, just hearing you say that is enough. Anything else will do, I'll put up with this!"

Ron took a small step and jumped onto Minghui's bed, placing one front paw on Minghui's leg with expectant eyes.

A growing sense of foreboding intensified in Minghui's heart. He felt he might have fallen into a trap, and forced himself to speak: "Anything else? There's nothing else..."

"Yes! I can smell its fragrance from far away, right here!"

Ron grabbed Minghui's sleeve with his mouth and eagerly pulled him to the side.

Minghui was also curious about what it meant, so he did not resist and was pulled to the cabinet.

Looking at the cabinet in front of him, Minghui was still completely confused.

What other wonderful things do I not know about?

I didn't hide any dog ​​food!

Although he didn't understand why, Minghui took down a plastic box from the top of the cabinet, guided by Ron.

Minghui thought Ron must have made a mistake. There were just some odds and ends in there, the kind that people would probably reject if they tried to sell them. How could there be anything good in there?

But seeing that Ron was already excitedly spinning around, he slowly opened the box. The moment he saw what was inside, Minghui was suddenly stunned.

Two transparent, glass-like objects, sculpted in the shape of Leo's head, came into view.

Zuluk Metal!

He obtained these two pieces of Zuluk metal from the Zuluk aliens. One piece was obtained when the Zuluk attacked Xiaotong's family, and the other piece was found by Minghui at the scene after the battle on the rainy night when he was chasing it.

Although Minghui had acquired the two pieces of metal a long time ago, he hadn't figured out what to do with them, so he just left them there to gather dust, to the point that he had forgotten they even existed.

Unexpectedly, Ron had his eye on him...

In an instant, Minghui suddenly realized, but then he gritted his teeth in anger.

That bastard has been eyeing my stuff for a while now!

He recalled the first time he met Ron, when it seemed to be deliberately attracting him. At that time, he had not yet obtained the Specium substance from Dan Moroboshi, and it was clear that it had its eye on Zuluk metal back then.

As for why it didn't forcibly seize it despite being a giant cosmic monster, it probably realized that the monster's identity was extraordinary and was therefore hesitant to act rashly.

And just now, with its keen sense of smell, it probably already realized that the Specium substance was gone, but it still tricked him into making a promise so easily.

Thinking of this, Minghui couldn't help but chuckle, never expecting to be tricked by a monster.

He glanced down at Ron, who was wagging his little tail rapidly and looking very obedient.

"Giving it to you is not out of the question, but I can only give you one piece; I'll keep the other one for myself."

After thinking for a moment, Minghui spoke.

He'd had this thing for a long time, but hadn't found a use for it, so giving one away wouldn't be unacceptable.

"Enough, enough! Brother Minghui, you're so kind! I've decided that from today onwards, besides my master, you'll be my dearest and most beloved older brother!"

Ron was overjoyed and started licking.

Minghui remained unmoved and said again, "But you have to answer two questions for me first!"

“No problem! Not just two, twenty would be no problem!” Ron readily agreed.

"First of all, what use do you have for either Specium matter or Zuluk metal?"

Ron's eyes darted around, and he suddenly lay down on the ground, feigning weakness: "Actually, before I came to Earth, I encountered an enemy. I couldn't defeat it, and it even injured me badly. As for why I'm seeking these things, it's because I have a talent that allows me to recover from injuries by consuming strange substances or metals."

"Look at me now, it's because my injuries are too severe that I had no choice but to transform into this form to reduce my energy consumption. Otherwise, I would have given up long ago!"
