Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

While the team members were scrambling to deal with the electric beams and the vegetables scattered on the ground, the remaining aliens seized the opportunity, grabbed half a bag of stolen vegetables, and slipped into a small spaceship parked in the distance. The spaceship shot into the air with a "whoosh," leaving a pale blue trail of flame before disappearing into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! They got away!" Nan Yuan angrily threw the radish in his hand to the ground, and the radish bounced up and hit his foot. Bei Dao removed the lettuce leaves from his head and chin, looked at the empty sky and sighed: "Let them go, at least they didn't steal all the vegetables."

But no one noticed that in the vegetable patch where the alien had just fallen, a round object the size of a walnut, with patterns, rolled into the soil under the tomato vines. It was something the alien had deliberately dropped while fleeing—a monster's egg.

The patterns on the egg's surface change color with its surroundings, quickly blending into the soil and completely disappearing. The tiny pores on its shell open and close silently, absorbing the aromas emanating from the surrounding vegetables.
The little creature inside the egg is no ordinary creature. It will lurk in the vegetable garden, secretly nibbling on the tender vegetables to accumulate energy. Once it grows big enough, it will find its way back and bring a "surprise" to the aliens.

This is the gluttonous monster, Motor Claren!
After hatching from their eggs, the larvae of the Motor Clarion (about the size of a human arm) devour large quantities of vegetables, consuming all the vitamin C in them to grow rapidly. Within just a few days, they can grow from larvae into their second quadrupedal form (2.5 meters tall and weighing 80 kilograms), and after a few more days, they can grow into a colossal 60-meter-tall creature—truly a "giant" induced by vegetables.

The grown-up Motor Clarion is a formidable fighter. It can expel a strange green liquid from its mouth and nose; the composition of which remains unknown, but enemies touched by it are often rendered immobile for a short time, making it a veritable "vegetable-scented anesthetic." Its close-combat methods are also diverse: its palms can deliver powerful punches, its tail can be used for sweeping blows, and it can charge forward and violently ram its hard head into enemies. Even more outrageous, when cornered, it can attack with farts; the stench, a mixture of rotting vegetables and gas, can leave opponents disoriented.

Now, the monster egg left behind by the aliens lies quietly in the vegetable garden, only to be unexpectedly discovered by a boy named Takeshi. When Takeshi passed by the vegetable garden on his way home from school, he saw a round object with patterns sticking out of the soil, sparkling and gleaming. He immediately thought it was a star that had fallen from the sky.

These kids deserve a beating. Knowing full well about the recent reports of monsters and aliens, they didn't even contact the Set Team immediately upon seeing such a bizarre thing. Takeshi carefully dug out the egg, wiped off the dirt, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the color-changing patterns on the shell: "This must be an alien gift!" He secretly stuffed the egg into his bag, determined to keep it for his own research, completely unaware that he had picked up a "time bomb" that grew by eating vegetables.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming and his group were all resting at the base, their faces showing exhaustion, their clothes still covered in mud and vegetable scraps that hadn't been cleaned off. Cui Ming leaned back in his chair, rubbing his throbbing temples, cursing inwardly: "Damn it... those despicable aliens, they have no shame! Instead of doing their proper work, they have to come and steal vegetables and cause trouble."

Misato slumped on the sofa and said weakly, "Seriously... these guys are really tough. They've been shocked so many times with stun guns, yet they can still carry the vegetables and run so far."

“Yeah. Even when he was being beaten to a pulp, he was still thinking about eating vegetables, and all he did from beginning to end was steal vegetables.” Asuka took the hot chocolate that Choi Myung handed her, her fingertips touching the warm cup, and sighed comfortably before saying, “Thanks, darling.”

Cui Ming glanced at her sideways: "In the workplace, we use job titles. Now, call me Captain."

Asuka stuck out her tongue and obediently corrected herself: "Okay, Captain, ah... these aliens are really something."

“I know they deserve a beating.” Cui Ming chimed in, taking a sip of hot coffee to calm his temper. “Next time I run into them, I’ll stuff all the vegetables they stole into their mouths.” A low chuckle rippled through the base, temporarily easing the fatigue of the battle, but the thought of those aliens frantically stealing vegetables for Vitamin C made everyone roll their eyes. Meanwhile, the boy named Wu Zhi was squatting in the corner of his yard, feeding the hatched Motor Clayto vegetables. He held a bunch of fresh lettuce in his hands, feeding the little guy leaf by leaf, his face full of excitement.

"Alright, alright, eat more and grow strong. I'll be your dad from now on," Wu Zhi said with a smile, reaching out to pat Motorcycle Clayto's head.

Motor Clayto tilted his head and glanced at him, his mind filled with question marks: ??? Are you looking for a fight?! This human cub must be a little slow on the uptake. However, it had just hatched from its egg and was only about the size of Wu Zhi's palm. Its claws hadn't even hardened yet, and knowing it couldn't beat him right now, it could only silently complain in its mind. Its body, however, honestly opened its mouth and took a bite of the lettuce offered to it.

Motor Clayto, that monster, seems fine on the surface, except he has an insatiable appetite. He'll eat any vegetables you give him, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, etc., and he'll devour them all in no time.

No way! This thing is seriously injured! It's practically grown on hormones. It ate half a cabbage this morning, and by the afternoon it had grown significantly larger. It used to be only the length of an arm, but now it's almost the size of a small mixed-breed dog.

Wu Zhi was still foolishly thinking that he was feeding him well. That night, he stole the cucumbers his mother was preparing to make salad from the refrigerator and stuffed them all into Motorcycle Clayto's hands: "Eat up, eat up, try to grow big enough to go to school with me tomorrow!" He had no idea that he was feeding a troublesome source that would devour vegetables and grow into a behemoth in just a few days.

Meanwhile, Cui Ming had just finished his hot coffee and was about to get up and stretch when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a shelf in the corner of the wall glowing.

"Huh?" He frowned and walked over. "Why are my child-beating devices flashing?"

On the shelf was the complete set of equipment for the "Kid-Disciplining Team"—a feather duster that automatically located mischievous children glowed faintly red, a ruler that could accurately deliver "loving education" vibrated slightly on the shelf, and even the rattan cane used to discipline naughty children was buzzing. These magical devices would only react when they sensed a mischievous child doing something stupid nearby, and the louder the noise, the brighter they would flash.

Cui Ming picked up the feather duster; the tassel at the tip vibrated gently at a certain frequency, pointing towards the residential area outside the window. "Something's not right," he muttered, stroking his chin. "I just dealt with that alien who stole my vegetables, why is the kid-beating device reacting again? Is some brat doing something even more outrageous than stealing vegetables nearby?"

Misato and Asuka, hearing the commotion, came over and looked at the flashing artifact, exchanging bewildered glances. "The last time this artifact was this active was when the kids from the next block were playing with the fire hydrant like a fountain," Misato recalled. "This time the noise is much bigger; could something serious have happened?" (End of Chapter)
