Moonlight team, are you awake?

"No way, you've been exiled? I suddenly really want to know how you got to Earth?"

"I ran away from home, didn't have enough money, and the interstellar taxi driver just stood here with me."

"Huh?" I scratched my head: "If you start a live stream, your family should know you're here. Won't they send someone to pick you up?"

“When dealing with runaway children, we in Gacixing usually raise a smaller child and then transfer the original child’s household registration.”

"Huh?" I was completely shocked.

"Besides, I'm making money from live streaming now, so my family probably wants me to die here so they can go through the formalities and loot my bags."

"Huh?" Such an explosive local custom is something I've never heard of before.

"This is the confidence that Gacixing gave me." Gaci patted his chest with a wry smile.

"Then why do you still want to go back? Is a place like this even worth going back to?"

Gaci rolled his eyes at me: "Big brother, even if Gaci Star isn't good, it's still a safe place. What kind of paradise is your planet? Staying here will only lead to your bones being scattered sooner or later. I don't want to die alone in a foreign land."

"That's true." I thought about the current state of the Earth, and it was indeed a case of everything that needed nourishing.

"By the way, what's your name? I can't keep calling you 'Gazi' every day, can I?"

"My name is Ga Zi."

"?"

"What's wrong with you? Isn't this the naming custom of your locals? Girls are all called 'xxzi'. I'm from Gacixing, is there anything wrong with being called 'Gazi'?"

"You seem to be a bit too localized."

"Then give me a name, something cute." Gaci chose to give up entirely.

"Let me think... Since you're from Gaci Star, let's call you Nan Guangzi." I remember Gaci's mother's name was Yin Nan Guangzi, so I'll give this girl from Gaci Star the pseudonym Nan Guangzi as a way of paying tribute to my predecessor.

"Okay, it sounds pretty good." Gaci readily accepted the name. "But I still think the name Gazi is really cool~"

"Stop worrying about your lousy name. Let's figure out how much money we can save up to buy a monster. You don't want to be unable to go home, do you?"

I dreamt that Photon should bring out the price list for the monsters. He wanted to figure out how to get some sponsorship from outer space, otherwise, he and Brother Ta might not be able to handle the situation on this broken planet on their own.

Putting everything else aside, if another Neogagard were to appear, even if he and Tazige went together, they would probably be easily defeated. That thing has a certain beauty in its stats and mechanics; it's really hard to beat if you're not a stat-based monster.

Gaci then took out his phone, fiddled with it for a bit, and read the black market price list to me, Mengting:

[Missile Super Beast Belokron: 1000 Star Coins/use, 100,000 Star Coins/lifetime use. Produced by Yapool. Rating: 3 stars]

[Zetton, the Cosmic Dinosaur: 8000 Star Coins/use, 60 Star Coins/Lifetime Use. Produced by Zetton Aliens. Rating: Four Stars]

[Zetton, the Cosmic Dinosaur, 10000 Star Coins/use, 80 Star Coins for Lifetime Use, produced by the Alien Baltan, rated five stars. Merchant comment: "The Alien Baltan understands your mother's Zetton."]

[Civilization Arbiter Galactron 9000 Star Coins/Use 700,000 Star Coins Lifetime Use Planet Xexia Production Rating: 4.5 stars]

Upon hearing this, I interrupted Photon: "Let me ask first, how much money do we have right now?"

Photon checked his balance: "800 coins"

"You earned 800 in the last live stream?"

"No, I earned 1000, and I used 200 to pay off the rent."

"Are there any monsters I can rent for 800 yuan?"

"Yes, Mikulas."

"Never mind then, let's save up some more."

I was inwardly groaning. It seemed I had to work my ass off first, get the live stream going, and make money before I could even think about recruiting people from outside.

Chapter Eight: A Abundance of Talented Individuals

I dreamt that I rented a house for Photon not far from the base.

Although living in the base might be more convenient, rashly bringing aliens into the base would be a capital offense no matter how you look at it, and my sense of vigilance is not that low.

He left his contact information with Photon, saying he would tell her the location when the monster appeared, and how she got there would be up to her.

"Aliens must run very fast, right?"

"Haha, but it's a full 100 meters in 20 seconds!" She proudly puffed out her chest.

"With your speed, you can't even pass the physical fitness test for college students! How did you even get there last time?"

"Take a taxi, isn't it very convenient?"

“…” I silently categorized the photon in my mind as “University Student from the Outer Space”.

After settling Photon in, I finally returned to the base.

Upon entering the operations room, everyone was reviewing today's battle.

First, there's Xincheng. Because my dream came quickly, he didn't crash today. Therefore, Xincheng felt: "This monster isn't particularly powerful, and I didn't feel much pressure."

His idea was immediately criticized by the mountain team members: "Damn it, are you daydreaming? We didn't deal a single point of damage!"

Goroki chimed in, "Yes, I think our fighter jets need to be equipped with more powerful weapons. I think Ultraman's beam is a very good target. Maybe we should try to imitate it."

Dr. Dango immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me. We will develop that weapon very soon."

"Great, now we can rest easy." The team members in the mountains smiled broadly.

“But there’s a problem.” Dr. Tango adjusted his glasses.

"What is it?"

“We do not have the energy devices to support that power.”

"What should I do?"

Faced with this problem, Dr. Otomo stepped forward and said, "I think it would be better to equip the fighter jets with bioreactors. This way, we can obtain a continuous source of energy, and we can also emit bioenergy rays during combat."

"Are we flying a fighter jet or a monster?" The team member in the mountains astutely pointed out the essence of the problem.

"What's wrong with piloting monsters? If you ask me, we should clone more monsters to fight," Dr. Otomo argued.

"Oh, that's not quite right," Dr. Tango retorted. "If we're going to clone, why don't we clone Ultraman? Think about it, when we have millions of Ultraman, what monsters would we need to worry about?"

Dr. Otomo shook his head: "Your thinking is too limited. Ultraman only has Gaia as its subject, but there are countless kinds of monsters. The most important thing in scientific research is to let a hundred flowers bloom, do you understand?"

"You actually say I don't understand?" Dr. Dango's eyes widened immediately. "You've been studying monsters for so long, what notable results have you achieved?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I take it out," Dr. Otomo sneered.

I don't know if Dr. Tango was scared to death, but I was terrified when I heard those words in my dream.

From what Dr. Otomo is saying, it seems he has already achieved results?

What results? Cloning Sylvanas? Neozars? Or some other wild godfather?

Fortunately, Dr. Otomo's next words reassured me a little: "Just you wait, sooner or later I'll use my research results to slap you in the face!"

Thankfully, it seems there are no research results yet.

I'm plotting when to find an opportunity to betray him, but I absolutely can't let him succeed in making his research a reality.

The two scientists argued for a long time without coming up with a solution. Seeing that this couldn't go on, I stepped forward and suggested, "I recommend that researcher Masami Horii from the research department solve this problem."

"Hmm?" My dream instantly offended the two scientists. With them present, recommending others clearly showed that I didn't take them seriously.

I knew their character perfectly well, so I added, “Dr. Tango and Dr. Otomo’s research directions are very promising, but what we need right now is weapons that can be used immediately. It would be a loss to delay your long-term goals for this. I think it would be better to leave such small goals to the researchers below and for you two to continue your big projects.”

I dreamt I walked up to the two of them and whispered in their ears, “I know you both want to surpass each other with your research results. No matter who does this weapon project, it will definitely delay the progress of their own projects, which is not fair. Why not find someone else to do this project and continue to compete with each other?”

“What you said makes some sense.” The two men’s expressions softened. “From now on, we’ll leave these small matters to our subordinates. Just wait for our project to be a great success and amaze everyone!”

"Good, good, good," I couldn't be happier. First, keep these two in check, then slowly find an opportunity to get rid of them, and then promote a real talent like Horii. Only in this way can the defense force have a future.

After seeing Tango and Dr. Otomo off, I invited Horii Amu from the research department.

As soon as I entered the room, I told him about the current demands of the defense force. As expected, Horii lived up to his reputation as Horii A-Dream and immediately came up with an idea: "I understand the problem you mentioned. Actually, I have been thinking about a weapon for a long time, which may come in handy."

He took out his USB drive, plugged it into the computer in the lobby, and immediately a dense array of folders appeared inside.

I spotted the beautiful photo of Chizuru in the corner at a glance, and immediately smiled without saying a word.

Horii opened the file named "Texas Beam Cannon" and then gave a detailed introduction to the weapon's portability, high power, and low energy consumption.

"It's a waste of your talent to only be a researcher." Captain Megumi thought this chubby guy was really capable, much better than the two bickering guys in the team.

"I don't care what I do as long as it contributes to protecting the Earth," Horii smiled.

"I heard that Researcher Horii criticized Staff Officer Gondo's ideas as being too unrealistic, so..." The Yamanaka member hesitated before continuing.

"What?! Staff Officer Gondo?" I was suddenly startled. "Our superior is Staff Officer Gondo???"

"No, no, no, that's not how it is." The team members in the mountains shook their heads.

"Oh, that's good..." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our immediate superior is Commander Tsuchibashi, and Staff Officer Gondo is only the second-in-command."

"..." My vision went completely black in my dream.

Chapter Nine: Brother Ta Zi, save me!

I never imagined that such a small defense headquarters could gather so many brilliant minds. Could this be the hellish difficulty of the Three Heroes dungeon?

He took a deep breath. Since he was already here, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and finish the dungeon.

If he had been assigned Ultraman Tiga or Dyna, or even Showa Ultraman, I might have considered running away. But since he was chosen by Gaia, he's really going to have to live and die with Earth now.

Abandoning Earth and running away? That's impossible. If Earth is abandoned, I will lose Gaia's power, and then an ordinary person like me will have no chance of surviving in the universe.

At this moment, I had a better understanding of the feelings of the protagonist in "Lolo's Adventures".

The opponent was under immense pressure from the start, while his own team had a group of formidable opponents. It was truly a tough situation for Luo Luo.

"Watch me do it!" I tried to calm myself down.

In the following days, with Horii A-meng's help, the defense force quickly equipped its fighter jets with the latest Texas beam cannons, resulting in a significant improvement in firepower.

The Texas Beam Cannon is powerful enough to kill an ordinary Earth monster like Gakuma in one shot, and it has even been used to take down Mejuro in one shot. Among the conventional weapons of the Defense Forces throughout history, it has been known to have a high kill count.

While it's impossible for a single Texas Beam to be unstoppable, it certainly won't be as embarrassing as before, where it completely negates the monster's strength.

Just days after the Texas Beam was installed, Earth faced another wave of attacks.

This time, the opponent is not Bazanja sent by V99, but the offensive of the Destruction Summoning Entity.

As I walked into the combat laboratory, Captain Megumi Kijima was announcing: "According to Delta Space Station, a few minutes ago, a blue crystal flew rapidly towards Earth from outer space. Interception has failed, and it has already broken through the atmosphere."

"A huge blue crystal?" I searched my mind for a moment and finally identified the other party as Gobu.

When the video message from Delta Force appeared on the big screen, I became even more certain of my guess: that huge blue crystal was the one that the first Gob arrived on Earth in.

"The target's landing point is currently predicted to be the Hokkaido area. Please proceed to the target area immediately." Finally, Megumi added with some concern, "The target's life form is unknown, so please proceed with caution."

"Understood!" Without further ado, everyone immediately boarded the fighter jet and set off. Before departing, I also had AI Pal secretly send a message to Photon and Taganura.

If the opponent is Gob, there shouldn't be much of a problem. This guy was the first monster in Gaia TV, and he was defeated by the inexperienced Gamu with a single flash of his light ice blade. In terms of strength alone, he probably isn't even as strong as Golza or Melbago.

My concern is that since Gobu exists, it seems inevitable that Super Gobu will attack in the future.

Super Gob and Gob are completely different things. Gob is just a beginner monster that gets crushed by V1 during the beginner phase, but Super Gob can beat V2 monsters to a pulp and is eventually defeated by SV.

Origin Orb, who once defeated Maga Gatanothor, was even knocked into amnesia by this thing, which shows that Super Gatanothor's strength is definitely at the top level.

This means that I must raise my forces to a level sufficient to deal with V2 level enemies before the Super Gob attacks. Whether it is improving myself or increasing the number of allies, this is not an easy task.

Soon, the group arrived at the predicted landing point in their fighter jets. At this time, the blue polyhedral crystal that Gobu was riding had already landed and was constantly emitting needle-like rays of light to cause destruction in all directions.

As the messenger of destruction, Gob is just like the super beasts sent by the Yapools; they are professional weapons of aggression. Their initial program is to destroy everything in sight after landing.

Fortunately, after receiving news from Delta Force, the site had already been evacuated in advance; otherwise, given the area-of-effect range of the needle-like beam, there would likely have been a scene of carnage.

"It's a pity that the Destruction Bringer can't be intercepted in advance." Imu said with some regret. Since the Destruction Bringer is usually sent directly to the vicinity of Earth through wormholes, Earth monsters like Taganura have no way to sense its arrival in advance. By the time they discover it, the Bringer has already landed.

Only those monsters sent out by V99 that fly from a great distance have a chance of being detected in advance and intercepted.

"I wonder if there are any Zhong Nai'er here on Earth." I suddenly remembered this sniper.

Compared to Taganura, Zhongnair possesses a small sun within its body. Once its energy is released, it would be enough to destroy an asteroid-level opponent. If Zhongnair can be found to snipe Valaron when it attacks in the future, its firepower would definitely be enough to vaporize Valaron before it even hits the ground.

Ironically, there is also a Zonner in the Blaze universe, but that Zonner was taken out by the defense team before the story even started, and he didn't get to do anything.
