Ultraman: It turns out this is the easy mode.

The power of the feather duster is truly amazing. Cui Ming looked at the slightly glowing feather duster in his hand, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips. He felt that things were about to get interesting.

Why do I say that? After all, this feather duster isn't just an ordinary cleaning tool. It can accurately sense the mischievous aura of nearby unruly children, helping to pinpoint their location and the extent of their antics. When necessary, this thing can even gather energy to give those unruly children a "loving correction," making them behave. If you encounter a truly stubborn child, it can even release an energy wave to "completely resolve" their naughty behavior—of course, only temporarily robbing them of their energy to be mischievous.

Thinking of this, Cui Ming picked up a feather duster and got up to take action.

"Hmm? Cui, I'll go with you and take a look." Lindis stood up from the sofa, her eyes sparkling, clearly interested in the glowing feather duster. She'd tried it once before and found it really handy; it even made a crisp sound when hit on a mischievous teammate's helmet.

“Call me by my title now,” Cui Ming said, but his body language betrayed his words as he handed the feather duster to Lindis.

"Oh dear, future children, you're in for a rough time." Why did he say that? Cui Ming thought he was a kind father when it came to raising children, at most he'd just say harsh words. But Lindis was different. According to Lindis, no matter if they had a boy or a girl, they would have to be trained properly from a young age, and every time they misbehaved, they would be "corrected" with a feather duster.

Lindis fiddled with the feather duster, not forgetting to complain: "Cui Ming, you're still too kind and gentle. You have to be stricter with naughty kids. It takes a strict mother like me to get down to business."

Looking at the "fighting spirit" flashing in her eyes, Cui Ming sighed helplessly. What could he say? He silently apologized to his future children: Future children, Dad is sorry. With such a "strict" mother, life ahead is probably going to be tough.

The two walked out of the base with feather dusters in their hands. The feather dusters grew brighter and brighter, pointing directly towards the residential area, clearly indicating that the brat was not far away.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhi was completely unaware of the approaching danger, still immersed in his fantasy of controlling the monster. He brought out almost every vegetable he could find in his refrigerator, piling carrots, cabbages, and cucumbers all over the floor, and was squatting down next to it, frantically feeding Motor Claren.

In just half a day, Motorola Clarence had grown to be half a person's height, standing firmly on all fours, its mouth opening and closing as it greedily devoured the vegetables Wu Zhi offered. The markings on its fur, having absorbed enough Vitamin C, became even brighter. Watching its rapid growth, Wu Zhi was incredibly proud: "See? I told you I could take good care of you! Eat some more, and you'll grow even bigger!"

As he fed him, he kept muttering, "When you grow big enough, will you take me to find my mother? She said she went to work in a very far place, and I haven't seen her in so long. They all say you're a monster from the sky, so you must know a lot of places and be able to help me find my mother." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Motor Claren's back, completely unaware that the monster's eyes were already showing signs of impatience. It was only because it hadn't grown strong enough yet that it had temporarily tolerated the human cub's touch.

Wu Zhi grew increasingly excited as he spoke, even starting to plan: "Once we find Mom, I'll have you perform eating vegetables for her. She'll definitely praise me for being so amazing, raising such a huge monster as a pet. Then the three of us will go home together, and I'll prepare the biggest vegetable garden for you, so you'll have something to eat every day!" He was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, completely unaware that Motor Claren's body was still expanding at a visible rate, and the vegetables in the yard were almost gone. Wu Zhi, who had been grinning foolishly at the empty pile of vegetables in the yard, imagining his future life with the monster and his mother, skipped and hopped home. He froze on the spot as soon as he pushed open the gate—Cui Ming and Lindis were standing in the yard, holding the feather duster that gleamed in the sunlight. The smile on Wu Zhi's face vanished instantly, his lips frozen in mid-air, his eyes filled with panic.

He instinctively hid his hands, which were stained with vegetable juice, behind his back, and his heart sank: Oh no, how did they find out about this place? Did they find out about me raising monsters? Wu Zhi's palms were sweating with nervousness, and his mind was filled with the thought, "What if they capture Motorola Clarion and kill it?" After all, in the TV shows, monsters always seemed to end up being smashed to pieces.

Cui Ming crossed his arms and looked at him, his eyes calm but carrying a sense of pressure: "Little friend, what were you feeding in the yard just now? We sensed a very strong abnormal energy reaction here." Lindis played with the feather duster in her hand, the tassels on the tip of the duster trembling slightly as it pointed at Wu Zhi, clearly having locked onto her target.

Wu Zhi's face flushed crimson instantly, and he stammered, unable to speak, his eyes involuntarily glancing towards the direction behind the house leading to the cave. His only relief now was that his monster, Motorcycle Claren, was hidden in the cave behind the village. He had moved the overfed monster there to avoid being discovered by his family. As long as they hadn't found the cave, Motorcycle was safe for now.

But as Cui Ming and Lindis drew closer, Wu Zhi's heart leaped into his throat. His fingers gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, and he silently prayed: Please don't ask about the cave, please don't go to the cave...

Seeing the probing looks from Cui Ming and Lindis, Wu Zhi steeled himself and decided to lie. He lowered his head, fidgeting with the hem of his clothes, and whispered, "N-nothing... I just ate some vegetable salad in the yard, and maybe some fell on the ground." To make the lie more believable, he even pointed to the remaining vegetable leaves on the ground, but his eyes kept darting around as he spoke, and his ears turned bright red.

Cui Ming raised an eyebrow, his peripheral vision catching the feather duster gleaming even brighter; clearly, the child was lying. But he didn't expose him immediately, instead following Wu Zhi's lead, saying, "Oh? Eating salad? You've eaten enough."

Wu Zhi was taken aback by the question and quickly made up a story: "Yes, my parents asked me to take it to the neighbor's grandpa! Yes, that's it!" He became more and more flustered as he spoke, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.

Lindis, barely suppressing a laugh, nudged Cui Ming with her elbow—this guy clearly saw through it all along, yet he was deliberately teasing the child. Cui Ming gave her a wink, signaling, "Don't rush." ​​They both knew perfectly well what the child was hiding, but what's the point of revealing it now? It was obviously a trap!

“So it was given to the neighbor,” Cui Ming nodded, his tone as calm as if nothing had happened. “Could you take us to the neighbor’s house to ask? We’d also like to know if we’ve seen anything strange in the neighborhood.”

Wu Zhi was instantly dumbfounded, stammering and unable to speak—he had no neighbor grandpa who would deliver vegetables to him. Seeing the child's helpless expression, Cui Ming and Lindis secretly suppressed a laugh. Fishing is about slowly casting the line, waiting for the little guy to slip up, and then following the clues to find his hidden "treasure"—it's much more interesting than directly exposing him.
