Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

"Faced with powerful monsters, we, UGM, are truly powerless. Even with our best efforts, our abilities are still inferior to those of the Warrior of Light."

"But precisely because of this, we need to fight even harder!"

"Even if the role we can play is minimal, as long as we can have the slightest impact on the enemy, then our desperate efforts will be meaningful!"

"You haven't forgotten what Captain Kiriyama said, have you? The Earth, after all, must be protected by us humans!"

"The Warrior of Light can protect us temporarily, but can he protect us forever?"

"If we lose the spirit of struggle simply because we humans are weak at this stage, then we humans will destroy ourselves by complacency, without the need for monsters or aliens."

"Captain Harada, you should be thankful that Senior Yamanaka isn't here. Otherwise, if he had heard what you just said, you might have ended up in the medical center with Vice Captain Ito."

After lightly scolding Harada Tokihiko, Oyama Kazuki took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the mental health issues of his teammates, and he doesn't know whether doing so can help Harada Tokhiko resolve his emotional issues, but this is all he can think of now.

As Harada Tokihiko listened to what Oyama Kazuki said, he just lowered his head, looking like he was humbly accepting Oyama Kazuki's criticism.

But Gu Chen could feel that Harada Tokihiko's heart was not rekindled by what Oyama Ikki said.

Seeing this, Gu Chen walked forward and gently placed his hand on Harada Tokihiko's shoulder.

Feeling the sensation coming from his shoulder, Harada Tokihiko subconsciously turned his head to look at Gu Chen, muttering: "Advisor... I..."

As soon as he said this, Harada Tokihiko lowered his head in shame.

"You're not the only one who thinks this way."

Looking at Harada Tokihiko with a shameful expression on his face, Gu Chen chuckled and spoke.

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Harada Tokihiko looked up at Gu Chen in surprise.

"Ever since I became an advisor to the Scientific Investigation Team fourteen years ago, I've encountered several people who share your sentiments. They, too, have doubted their responsibilities because the Warrior of Light's strength contrasts with their own weakness."

"Actually, this situation isn't limited to the Earth Defense Force. There was even a period of time when the public was skeptical of the Earth Defense Force's uselessness. This was because almost every kaiju disaster and alien invasion was ultimately resolved by the Warriors of Light, and it could be said that humans made no contribution in these areas."

"The most serious incident I remember was the Hippolyte invasion during the TAC period."

"He teamed up with the Yabo people, set a trap and conspired to frame the Ultra Brothers, turning them into asphalt statues, leaving the Earth without the protection of the Warriors of Light for a while."

"At that time, some people wanted to surrender to the Hippolytus aliens. They even took to the streets and forcibly stopped the TAC team's vehicles, demanding that we lead them to surrender."

"Because they believed the Earth Defense Force could not defeat the Hippolytus and could not protect them from the alien invasion, so in order to save their lives, they chose to surrender."

"But in the end, the Hippolytus were defeated. Even though they were defeated by Ultrafather who came to Earth, it gave us, the Earth Defense Force, time to prove ourselves."

"After our efforts, the Silver Shark Cannon was unveiled, and we humans finally possessed the ability to directly eliminate increasingly powerful enemies on the battlefield."

"So, I think being weak for a while isn't a big deal. What's scary is when you lose the motivation to move forward."

"That's all I have to say. If you still have any questions, you can go to the Science Department and talk to Yi Chu. I think he can definitely give you some better advice on this."

After saying this, Gu Chen gently patted Harada Tokihiko on the shoulder, then looked around at everyone and said, "Besides Team Harada, does anyone else have the same idea?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they were all silent.

Seeing this, Gu Chen directly called out the name: "Team Sakata?"

"Advisor, stop joking. I've put in unimaginable efforts to become a member of UGM."

When he heard Gu Chen call his name, Jiro Sakata immediately shouted loudly.

Indeed, Jiro Sakata's efforts in graduating from the Earth Defense Force training base at the age of 18 are obvious to all. A simple investigation at the training base will reveal a lot of evidence.

Not to mention that Gu Chen had personally witnessed Jiro Sakata studying day and night in order to get into the Earth Defense Force training base.

"So... Ueno?"

Seeing this, Gu Chen changed his target and looked at Ueno Takashi.

"Advisor, please stop joking. I survived Dark Tiga's most desperate time. This situation is nothing to me."

Ueno Takashi smiled and spread his hands, his eyes firm and full of confidence.

"In that case, I won't call out names one by one. If you have the same questions as Team Harada, you can go talk to Ichu, or go to the Asama Mountain Monster Nature Reserve to discuss details with the seniors. I'll be leaving now."

Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled, and after saying this to everyone, he turned and left the war room.

Jiro Sakata followed immediately. He did not forget what his mission was today.

After Gu Chen left, everyone in UGM looked at each other in confusion.

In the end, it was Oyama Kazuki who spoke up: "Just do as the advisor says. Disband."

After saying that, Dashan Yishu also left the war room. He had to be one step ahead of his teammates so that he could go to learn from his predecessors.

After that, Tajima Hiroshi accompanied Harada Tokihiko to the Science Department.

It’s not that Tajima Hiroya has the same self-doubt as Harada Tokihiko, but he himself is a fan of Mitsuhiro Ihachi.

Now that he has a legitimate reason to meet his idol, Tajima Hiroshi naturally will not miss this opportunity.

After leaving the war room, Gu Chen asked Jiro Sakata to send him home directly. After confirming that Gu Chen would not go out again, he drove away.

After checking the time, Gu Chen ran to the kitchen and began to prepare, waiting for Ya Demeng and the others to return from the Asama Mountain Monster Nature Reserve.

That night, Gu Chen saw Ya Demeng and Xingyao walking back from outside with satisfied smiles on their faces.

It can be seen that both of them had a good day today.
