Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

"Those intelligence dealers are quite smart; they know what to do." Cui Ming leaned against the railing of the Sett team base, gazing at the starry sky outside the window, a faint smile curving his lips.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming had been secretly keeping an eye on those space intelligence brokers. While he wouldn't simply kill them outright, that didn't mean he wouldn't cause them trouble. The best outcome for them was that they were behaving themselves and not courting disaster.

Did they give us the intelligence? Yes! And it was the most accurate intelligence—Storm One is not to be trifled with! Tell me, isn't that intelligence right? Why don't you try going after Storm One yourself?
Anyway, although Commander Blake did receive the intelligence, he was still very angry and helpless in the face of the brief yet hurtful information.

Equally speechless were another group of space invaders attempting to invade Earth. Looking at the information they'd bought from intelligence brokers about Earth's defenses, they couldn't help but curse: "Damn! What kind of intelligence is this?!" The information was full of vague descriptions like "Storm One is extremely dangerous and should not be provoked" and "The Sett team is powerful; proceed with caution," offering absolutely no substantial information.

"Cosmic intelligence brokers! You guys really dare to sell this stuff!" The invaders were so angry that they threw the intelligence on the ground, feeling like they had wasted their money on a bunch of nonsense, but they couldn't find anything wrong with the intelligence, after all, it was a universally acknowledged fact that Storm One was not to be trifled with.

These invaders—no one knows their real names. Mainly because, to ensure the success of their invasion plan, they deliberately concealed their names and racial information, to the point that nobody knows how to address them.

But these guys are among the best in the universe. They're sick! Yes, they're sick!

Why do I say that? Because these guys don't invade other planets for the usual reasons of conquering the planets themselves or plundering resources! They do it for Vitamin C! That's right, Vitamin C!

They're not targeting Earth for invasion; they're purely after vegetables! After all, Earth's fruits and vegetables are rich in Vitamin C, which is exactly what they desperately need. And the plan they're currently preparing is this absurd thing!

"Are we going to Earth to steal some vegetables now?" an alien asked, shaking his head, his tone full of anticipation.

"Of course we'll go! For the necessary vitamin C!" another answered, patting his chest as if he were on some great mission.

“That’s right, for Vitamin C!” The surrounding aliens echoed, their eyes gleaming with longing for fruits and vegetables.

“.”*N
Cui Ming, hiding in the shadows, watched the group of drunken aliens, their blood boiling over their plan to steal vegetables, and fell silent. "What a bunch of idiots! Can't you just buy vegetables at the market? Why go through all this trouble with this invasion thing?" He rubbed his temples, feeling that the absurdity he'd encountered today had once again reached new heights.

After obtaining the latest intelligence from his informant at the bar, Cui Ming immediately returned to the Seth team base and gathered his team members: "A group of space invaders have their eyes on Earth. Everyone, get ready."

Upon hearing that there were intruders, the team members immediately tensed up and pricked up their ears to hear the details.

“These guys have hidden their identities, we haven’t been able to find their specific names,” Cui Ming paused, looking at the serious expressions on his team members’ faces, his tone carrying a strange undertone, “but we’ve figured out their purpose for invading—to steal vegetables, or more precisely, to steal the vitamin C from the fruits and vegetables.” The base fell into a deathly silence. The team members looked at each other, their expressions shifting from wariness to astonishment, and finally, to complete speechlessness.

"No, Captain, could you say that again?" Moriyama rubbed his ears, wondering if he had misheard. "They invaded Earth just to steal vegetables to supplement their Vitamin C?"

"Otherwise what?" Cui Ming shrugged. "It's clearly written in the intelligence report that these guys are eyeing our vegetable greenhouses and orchards."

"Are these guys crazy?" Kotaro couldn't help but complain. "There are so many planets in the universe, why do they have to come to Earth to steal vegetables to supplement their vitamins? Can't they just buy a bottle of vitamin pills at the pharmacy?"

“Who knows what’s going on in their heads,” Cui Ming shrugged. “Anyway, the mission still has to be carried out. We can’t let them steal all the food on Earth. But honestly, this is probably the most outrageous defense mission I’ve ever received.”

The team members nodded in agreement, silently thinking: This generation of cosmic invaders is really losing all ambition. They're even doing things like stealing vegetables to supplement their vitamin C intake. It's utterly outrageous.

After notifying the Set team members, Cui Ming immediately contacted the EDF. The sergeant was checking his equipment when he received the communication. After hearing Cui Ming's explanation of the intruders' purpose, he was stunned and almost dropped his tools.

"What did you say? To steal vegetables to supplement vitamin C?" The sergeant suspected there was something wrong with his communicator, so he checked again. After receiving a positive reply, he couldn't help but look at his teammates in bewilderment, and the whole team fell into a state of silence.

"Are these guys out of their minds?" Captain Death couldn't help but speak first. "Can't they just buy Vitamin C? The market, the supermarket, the pharmacy—where can't they buy it? It's so simple. Why do they have to resort to this whole 'stealing crops' thing? They're just asking for trouble!"

The sergeant rubbed his temples, feeling that this was even more outrageous than the monsters they had encountered before: "I'm speechless. The reasons for alien invasions these days are getting more and more bizarre. Before, at least it was for resources or to occupy planets. Now, it's just for a few vegetables and fruits. Nobody would believe it if word got out."

“That’s right,” another member of the fairy squad chimed in. “If they had come to buy properly, we might have been able to give them a discount. But they had to sneak up and launch a surprise attack, which forced us to take action.”

The sergeant sighed and said to Cui Ming through the communicator, "Alright, we understand. We'll arrange for people to be deployed to the vegetable base and orchard right away. Seriously, we already have to guard against monsters and aliens, and now we have to guard against vegetable thieves too. This job is getting harder and harder."

The sergeant thinks so.
You wouldn't even bother killing aliens with such bizarre reasons.
Well, we'll see how it goes.
If it's a troublesome enemy, just kill it!
But sometimes things aren't what you think.
Forget it
That's all.
Prepare your defensive positions.
Why.
These days, anything can happen. And there are even more bizarre things.
This is difficult. (End of Chapter)
