Ultraman Any Key: Qiming

Chapter 3 3. The One
Qi Ming speculated that because the watch only scanned the broken head of the Tiga statue, the data he collected was incomplete.

The Ultraman Tiga he turned into was a defective version.

Not only is it unable to change its form, but the transformation can only last for one and a half minutes.

I had originally planned to kill these three monsters together, but I had to change my strategy.

"Roar!" The three monsters who were beaten badly in the first round of confrontation suddenly became morale-boosted after seeing the colorful timer flashing on Tiga's chest, and their killing instinct was aroused again.

Time was running out, and Qi Ming charged towards the three monsters.

He swung the ice axe downwards, then slashed Melba's wrist with the reverse blade, and Melba's left claw was almost chopped off.

He dodged Melba, who screamed in pain, and used an Iron Mountain Lean to knock Golzan, who was following closely behind, back, then crossed his arms and elbowed him, sending him flying to the side.

The last Garula was chosen as his target.

Garula roared and emitted orange heat rays from the horns on his head to block Tiga.

Qi Ming rolled to the left to dodge, then lay on the ground to find a good shooting angle. He put his hands into an "L" shape and released a simplified version of the [Zaipelion Ray], hitting Garula's throat, the only part of his body that was not covered by hard skin.

"Bang!" The Zaperio light penetrated from the throat to the back of the head. Garula's body stiffened and fell heavily.

After releasing this attack [Zaperion Ray], Tiga's energy was almost exhausted and could only last for another ten seconds.

But Qi Ming did not retreat but advanced instead. He adopted the ferocious posture of a predator and approached Golzan and Melba.

"Roar..." Melba retreated tremblingly.

Golzan, who was also frightened, immediately dug the ground and hid underground with swift hands and feet, wanting to "rest in peace."

With Golzan leading the way, Melba immediately spread his wings, fled, and flew to the end of the sky.

"They want to escape, chase them!" Seven, who fell to the ground and was holding on to his last breath, said quickly.

Qi Ming thought, there's no way Seven didn't understand what the red colored timer on his chest meant. It seems like Zhu Xingtuan's habit of forcing others to do things against their will when he was captain has begun to show...

"Unfortunately, this is all we have to do today. If I don't give them 'decent' treatment, they will have to give me 'decent' treatment." Qi Ming put the ice axe back on Seven's head.

The next moment, Tiga disappeared, like a trace of ink washed away by water.

He turned back into Qi Ming.

Although the enemy was not completely wiped out, the crisis was temporarily resolved and Seven also canceled his transformation.

"Is this what it feels like to transform to fifty meters and fight a giant monster? It's more tiring than running a full marathon..." Qi Ming supported himself on the ground with one hand, breathing slightly.

At the same time, the fallen Garula twitched several times and finally died.

A tiny blue light floated up from its body and sank into the button on the upper right corner of Qi Ming's watch.

A line of words appeared on the watch screen.

【Access/Conversion】.

"Access, is it to record Garula's genes like Tiga did, so that I can become it in the future?"

"What is transformation? Seriously, can't you just give me an instruction manual?"

In the end, Qi Ming hesitated and chose to transform.

Compared to Garula, who has obvious weaknesses and no special abilities, he prefers to use this opportunity to explore the functions of this watch.

After the selection is made, the watch will vibrate slightly and then switch to the main control interface.

Star Gift: 3.
Seeing through: 1/5.
Qi Ming: “…”

No, if you want to understand the meaning of these special words, you have to look for the instruction manual.

Qi Ming was very confident that as long as he was given time, he would be able to figure out the function of this watch - boys have a special talent for tinkering with machines.

But before that, there are more important things.

Qi Ming clicked the button in the upper left corner again and used his watch to scan the stone statue fragments on the ground.

He wanted to increase the integration level of Tiga from 30% to full, but failed.

"Cannot access multiple targets simultaneously." This is the text prompt on the watch screen.

The three stone statues were smashed to pieces, and now the palm of one giant and the waist of another giant were overlapped, making it impossible for the watch to scan.

In order to scan them, we have to wait until the fragments of the statues are pieced together, which is a huge project.

"Are you the Ultraman just now?" A weak voice came from behind.

Qi Ming turned around and saw the wounded Zhu Xingtuan leaning on a tree with his hands and looking at him.

"It's me, the captain of Team Zhuxing." Qi Ming came forward.

He introduced himself, saying that he was from another Earth, and asked Seven if there was any way to cross the dimension to send him back.

"You want to go back?" Zhu Xingtuan looked at him strangely.

Qi Ming: "I don't have the habit of staying out all night."

On the way from the bookstore to the land of Tiga, he carefully recalled every detail around him before the "time travel", wondering what went wrong.

The news he saw before going to bed caught his attention - a blue light object descended on the surface of the Pacific Ocean, causing the deep-sea operation vessel to lose contact... Why does it sound so much like "The One" in "Next"?
Since he can travel to this world, can the monsters in this world also go to his side?
I have to go back and find out what's going on.

Zhu Xingtuan was silent for a moment: "Seven no longer exists, just look at it."

After saying that, he took out the Ultra Glasses and tried to put them on forcibly, but seemed to be stopped by an invisible force.

Qi Ming quickly called for a halt: "Stop, I know you're not in good shape right now, don't push yourself, stop!"

Before he could finish his words, the Ultra Glasses on Zhu Xingtuan's right hand caught fire and Zhu Xingtuan fell down suddenly. Qi Ming quickly supported him.

The forced transformation failed, causing the Ultra Glasses to self-destruct.

"There's no need to prove it this way. I don't really need to open my eyes to this... Wait, maybe it will work."

With a try-it attitude, Qi Ming scanned the scrapped Ultra Glasses with his watch.

Immediately afterwards, the watch's movement lifted up, and then the dial turned, and Seven's black silhouette appeared on the screen.

Ultraman Seven.

Integration level: 45%.

Rating: B.

It works!
Now I can become Seven myself. Class B should be larger than Class C. Is it because of its higher integration?
He turned the dial to the left and returned to the main control interface, and the numbers on it changed.

Star Gift: 3.
Seeing through: 2/5.
It changed from 1 to 2, so this line refers to the number of types of transformations you can have?
Zhu Xingtuan suddenly asked, "Qi Ming, now that you have the powerful power to change the world, what do you want to do with it?"

He was a little worried because Qi Ming had not gone through the slow struggle process to settle down, and suddenly gained a powerful force, and he was afraid that he would get lost in it.

Qi Ming just casually said, "Help others within your ability."

Although he is only twenty-one years old, Qi Ming is not an ordinary college student. The several adventures he has experienced in the past have made him confident that he can control this power.

This answer startled Zhu Xingtuan. He frowned slightly, then relaxed again. He said:
"As long as you look for it with all your heart, you will definitely find your way home."

"I'll help out too. In the meantime, how about joining the Victory Team?"

"You need me, and I need you."

Thinking of the list of Victory Team members he had just seen in the book, Qi Ming looked embarrassed.

Facing Zhu Xingtuan's eager eyes, he reluctantly said: "If it's a temporary job, you can give it a try."

He also needed a place to stay, and wanted to use TPC's scientific research capabilities to find a way to return.

Zhu Xingtuan understood what he meant, but didn't say much, wanting to slowly cultivate his sense of belonging.

"Captain, Captain! You are..." At this time, Yamanaka and Kishida came over.

Seeing Qi Ming made both of them a little dazed.

The young man who was supporting the captain had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and eyes as bright as ink, like a god.

This guy looks... so awesome!

"Who are you and why are you here?" Shanzhong was the first to react. There should be no outsiders in this combat area.

Qi Ming had just arrived, and based on the principle that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made, so he wanted Zhu Xingtuan, who had a more suitable identity, to explain.

As a result, Zhu Xingtuan waved his hand without saying a word, signaling the troops to disperse.

Qi Ming: “?”

Do you want me to join the Victory Team? This will make me look suspicious.

This was Tsuyoshi Moroboshi's second shortcoming as captain—he didn't know how to use white lies to ease conflicts between team members.

In the fourteenth episode of "Ultraman Leo", Team MAC died one after another in the battle with the scorpion monster.

As a result, Zhu Xingtuan did not allow the two elite team members who wanted to avenge their teammates to fight, and forced them to practice physical skills with Feng Yuan.

This act of treating a public servant as a private coach, in order to help Feng Yuan regain his face by continuing to give him special treatment during the war, also angered the two team members.

They took out their anger on Feng Yuan, making him feel like he was being treated badly by everyone. He knelt down and begged, but all he got was their cold stares and curses.

Everyone says Leo is a tragic hero, but if the captain, Zhu Xingtuan, knew how to be flexible, Feng Yuan wouldn't have to suffer such a tragic fate...

Qi Ming had no choice but to speak and said that he was a tourist visiting the ancient place. When he saw Zhu Xingtuan’s fighter plane crashing, he thought that he could not ignore the hero who protected the earth, so he rescued him from the cockpit and took him to a safe area.

Kishida shook his head: "You haven't received professional training, you're just messing around. Captain, are you seriously injured?"

"I'm fine." As a result, Zhu Xingtuan just took a step and stumbled and almost fell.

"Captain, your legs!" Shan Zhong glared at Qi Ming: "You kid, why are you showing off!"

Seeing his beloved captain so badly injured, he started speaking without thinking again.

Qi Ming: “?”

Do you think my rescue method was inappropriate and want to put the blame for Tsuyoshi Moroboshi's disability on me?

Qi Ming smiled and asked, "Why don't you put the blame on your mother and blame her for giving birth to you?"
