Ultraman: I, Ultimate Hyperzeton

Black Star Cafe.

The cafe wasn't crowded. Barulu sat behind the cashier, boredly watching the people on the street. "The people on this planet are so kind-hearted. Monsters and Ultraman have appeared, but I see them going to school and work as usual, seemingly unaffected by it."

"After all, they have known about the existence of aliens for a long time. It doesn't seem strange that aliens are a little bigger than them." Xiao Yao tasted the dessert she had just made and showed a satisfied smile.

"Barulu, come and try it too."

"I don't want to eat. I remember when you first came to Monster Star, you weighed less than 100 pounds. You've gained a lot of weight after developing desserts over the past few years." Barulu looked at Xiaoyao's pectoral muscles, which were becoming increasingly "strong" even though he hadn't exercised much.

"Because the desserts she made contained all sorts of random things and the hormone levels exceeded the standard, so it irritated the body." Zhan Jier explained the truth.

Barulu raised another question: "Actually, until now, I still don't know why we came to this planet. Are we here to protect the new universe for Tiga?"

"As far as I know, this is not a new universe, but a small universe in the cracks of the new universe, created by the fusion of universes." Zhan Jier obviously knew a little more.

"During the fusion of the universes, the demigods created in tens of thousands of universes disappeared. Your Excellency speculates that they may be hiding here."

Barulu: "So, sir, you want to find those demigods? Build a stronger demigod-level mercenary group? Then can Monster Star be invincible?"

Zhan Jier: "That's the limit of your ambition."

The large floating screens in the city switched from advertisements to news. A handsome male announcer said, "The latest news: the aliens active in Area D the other day have been completely wiped out. Residents can travel with confidence. DEUS will protect your life."

As the announcement ended, K pushed open the door of the cafe and placed his order: "Ice water..."

Barulu muttered as he took the water: "You only drink free ice water every time you come here. Next time I'll charge you for ice water."

Su Yang was very dissatisfied with his employee's behavior: "Look at you, you are so stingy. If you insist on saying it, won't you put laxatives in the ice water for him?"

K: "..."

"My salary isn't very high, how can I afford your overpriced coffee?"

"So you joined the organization not to make money, but simply to protect the earth? Your ideals are very lofty, I support you!" Zhan Jier looked at the young man with more favor.

"Hey, have you investigated the recent frequent disappearances?"

"I checked. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be so tired..." K took the ice water and relaxed a little.

Just as he was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of the pretty Xiaoyao next to him: "Ms. Xiaoyao, you are more beautiful than yesterday. Do you want to watch a movie with me tonight? *罒▽罒*"

Xiaoyao pushed the remaining cake in front of K: "Eat this, and then praise my cake-making skills, and I will go."

K: "..."

"I just wanted to date you. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. You're not going to kill me, are you?"

"Come to think of it, Miss Xiaoyao is clearly a human, so why is she an employee at a coffee shop?"

Barulu then said, "This is a long story, let's talk about it another day. Can you first talk about the missing persons case?"

K got back to business: "Oh, the story has to start from yesterday. Jin and I received the order and started investigating..."

Su Yang was speechless: "Why don't you start with the extinction of dinosaurs?"

K: "Let me just say the results of the investigation. Most of the missing people are unhappy in real life."

"And the reason they disappeared was because they boarded a ship that they firmly believed would take them to a perfect utopia."

"For example, one of the missing persons we just found worked 150 hours a month. She was so oppressed that she wanted to escape from the real world."

After hearing K's words, Barulu counted on his fingers: "One hundred and fifty hours, averaging out to... five hours a day? (???)"

"I work twice as much as she does every day!" Barulu had never felt so oppressed before. He turned his head to look at Lord Jetton who was sitting next to him.

At this moment, Jetton, as if he didn't hear what Barulu said, turned around and whistled: "Shhhhh~~"

K then continued, "Furthermore, Jin and I have discovered that they seem to be able to use empty TV channels to send messages to those who are frustrated in life...but we haven't figured out how they do that yet."

"Anyway, you guys better be careful."

After he finished speaking, the communication watch in K's hand rang again. He lowered his head to take a look, drank the ice water in the cup, and hurried out the door.

"Sir, do you know which alien is responsible for this disappearance?" Zhan Keel looked at Jetton.

"I didn't check. I believe the spies will handle all this." Su Yang picked up the small cake made by Xiao Yao next to him, took a bite, and shuddered.

"I don't think there are many customers this afternoon, so I'll give you half a day off so you can go out and have some fun."

"Xiaoyao, there's no need to research desserts anymore. Go out and have fun."

Barulu was incredulous: "Really?"

"I've worked in a coffee shop for so many years, and I can count the number of days off I've had on one hand. And yet, today, my Lord..."

Su Yang: "If you keep talking nonsense, the holiday will be cancelled."

……

Urban park.

Su Yang and Barulu originally just wanted to stroll around the park casually, but they didn't expect to see a lot of homeless people lying in the park.

"I remember that the Japanese government in this world has preferential policies for the unemployed. As long as you submit an application, you can get a job. The salary is not that high, but you can have enough food and clothing." Su Yang looked at the person lying here in confusion.

"You still have to work, but most of the people lying here don't want to work, they just want to get paid."

“Society is progressing, but there will always be a group of lazy people in society.”

A stranger wearing glasses next to him answered Su Yang's question.

"Your Excellency thinks very clearly." Su Yang turned around and looked at the stranger with a smile.

"Do you have a job? What do you do?" The stranger wearing glasses came up to Su Yang and seemed very concerned about this question.

Su Yang responded with a smile: "I have a coffee shop."

"So you run your own business... Then there will often be a lot of problems with capital turnover in business, right?" The man seemed to know a lot.

"I'm also a businessman. I have a job here that doesn't take up much time but pays well. If you're short of money someday, you can contact me." The man handed over his business card.

Su Yang took the business card and took a look at it, showing an awkward but polite smile: "Okay, Mr. Tianwan, how much is the salary specifically? My store is having some problems right now."
