Ultraman: Invincible from Saving Tiga.

Chapter 683 Unscrupulous Capitalist Jialinyu

At this moment, all was silent.

The people on the Cosmic Dragon were frozen in place, as if they had been frozen in place by a spell, their expressions blank.

Only one thought remained in their minds.

Why does this giant seem... like he's not a good person?
Don't real Ultraman just disappear with a "whoosh" after defeating a monster, keeping their achievements hidden?

Who would drink the monster like it's a beverage after defeating it?

This art style is off!

After the battle, everyone returned to the cabin of the Cosmic Dragon.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Everyone, intentionally or unintentionally, secretly observed Lin Yu with a mixture of awe, curiosity, and a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

Lin Yu didn't care at all; he was leisurely enjoying the second can of premium coffee he had "borrowed" from Captain Hyuga.

Hmm, it tastes good.

“Um… Mr. Lin Yu.”

Finally, Captain Hyuga broke the silence, coughing twice and speaking with a hint of politeness.

"Thank you for your help this time."

"I'm the one who should be thanking you."

Lin Yu waved his hand, put down the coffee can, and said sincerely, "To be honest, if it weren't for you guys, I probably wouldn't have been able to come to such a... treasure place."

Everyone: "..."

A treasure trove?

You call this hellish place, teeming with ferocious monsters and where you could easily become monster food, a treasure land?

Is this person's thought process different from that of a normal person?
Then, as if recalling what had happened before, their expressions became even stranger.

In a sense, it seems that Mr. Lin Yu is right?

"By the way, about that call just now..."

Raymond couldn't help but speak up; his mind was now filled with thoughts of the sealed giant.

"Oh, that one."

Lin Yu nodded. "Like I said, there was an Ultraman calling you, I just happened to hear it on my way."

He pointed to the spaceship's navigation chart.

"He's on that island. It looks like there are still quite a few survivors there. Once we get there, everything will be clear."

"Ultraman? Is it really the original Ultraman?" Dr. Oki rubbed his hands together excitedly.

For humans who did not experience the period of frequent monster outbreaks, the name "Ultraman" represents the memory of an era and is a symbol of protection.

This happened thousands of years ago!

Zero was born after Seven left Earth, therefore the Monster Fighting timeline is at least 5,000 years before the end of Mebius.

[Regarding the 50 years mentioned in the first episode of Stranger, that doesn't refer to the Dream Era, but rather to the background setting of Stranger, the period when the Boss's father was active. Fifty years before the battle with the Reonics, a spacetime anomaly occurred on a universe-wide scale, causing monsters like Golza Eye Q to appear in the same place. ZAP was founded at that time.]

Although everyone felt something was off about Lin Yu's strange behavior of "absorbing" the monster, they instinctively chose to believe him when they heard about "Ultraman" and "survivors".

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

"Now that we have a clear goal, what are we waiting for!"

Captain Hyuga slammed his fist on the table, regaining his usual boldness, "Full speed ahead! Destination: the isolated island in the South China Sea!"

However, Lin Yu suddenly raised his hand.

"Wait a moment."

All eyes were on him.

"I have an idea."

Lin Yu said slowly, "I want to get off the ship."

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

"You guys go ahead by boat, I'll be there shortly."

After saying that, he pointed to Raymond, who looked bewildered, next to him.

“And him, he came down with me too.” Raymond: “What?!”

He pointed to his nose, his face full of question marks.

"why?"

"Because this place is the best training ground." Lin Yu looked at him confidently, his eyes filled with the sincerity of "thinking of you".

"From here, fight your way to that island. This is the special training I've arranged for you."

Raymond was completely dumbfounded.

Not... special training?
When did I agree to the special training?
Do we know each other well?
He opened his mouth, about to ask his question, when he met Lin Yu's eyes, which had suddenly become somewhat dangerous.

"what do you mean……"

Lin Yu's voice rang out softly, "I shouldn't have taught you how to fight before, right?"

Raymond: "..."

A chill instantly shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head.

His intuition was screaming alarm bells.

Although he didn't know why, he could clearly feel that the aura emanating from this seemingly gentle and harmless man was a hundred times more terrifying than that of the EX Red King from before!
Finally, under Lin Yu's "enthusiastic" invitation, Raymond, looking completely bewildered, followed him off the Cosmic Dragon.

The spaceship's hatch slowly closed, and Captain Hyuga and the others waved to them through the porthole, their eyes filled with sympathy.

"Alright, kid." Lin Yu patted Raymond on the shoulder and pointed to the land not far away, which was shaking due to the battle between Gomora and Doragali.

"Go."

"Fight your way through and let me see where your limits are."

Raymond: "..."

He steeled himself, glanced at the distant battlefield, then at the man beside him who was smiling like a devil, and finally gritted his teeth.

Fight?
Exactly what I want!

……

After half an hour.

Gomora stood panting on the two enormous monster corpses, letting out a weary roar as it looked up at the sky.

The second Draguri, as well as another subterranean monster, Telestone, which had been drawn to the battle, were all defeated with difficulty.

Raymond breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the ground, feeling as if all the energy in his body had been drained.

However, the next second, he saw a scene that made his eyes twitch wildly.

Just like the EX Red King before, the corpses of the two monsters quickly transformed into two streams of pure energy, which were then completely absorbed by the man next to them with a "whoosh".

Raymond fell into a long silence.

He felt like a sucker who had worked hard to complete a dungeon and defeat the boss, only to have all his equipment and experience stolen by a random teammate.

Am I just working for free?

Seemingly sensing his resentment, Lin Yu walked over, patted him on the shoulder earnestly, and offered a warm and friendly "employee greeting."

"See, don't think like that."

"Through the battle, you gained valuable experience, honed your will, and deepened your bond with Gomora."

"And I, through your battle, also gained a tiny, insignificant battle reward."

"It's clearly a win-win situation for both of us!"

"win!"

Raymond has amnesia, but he's not stupid.

He felt there was something wrong with what was said, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

After all, they did teach him how to fight, and they were indeed "helping" him grow.

"hateful……"

Raymond could only squeeze out those two words through gritted teeth, then resignedly got up from the ground.

"Let's go, next one." Lin Yu pointed into the distance, a genuine, kind smile appearing on his face, the kind that capitalists have when they see cheap labor.

The two continued their journey of "leveling up in the wild" as they ventured deeper into the planet, one after the other.
