Great, we're doomed now!

—It's amazing that this mall has all kinds of shops, yet she was able to find this outfit that's almost like a theatrical costume.

Carmilla frowned slightly: "We've already changed several outfits. If you have any complaints, you can just say so. If this continues, I'm going to lose my patience."

"Really? I'm actually quite enjoying it." Ye Shou smiled gently. "Although it's very inefficient, every single one looks great, making me look forward to the next one more and more."

"..."

Carmilla bit her lip, turned her head and said in a barely audible voice, "Alright... then let's pick more... anyway, there's plenty of time."

—The female shop assistant next to him looked at Ye Shou with admiration.

However, you can only look at it once; if you look any longer, the terrifying dark older sister will glare at you with fierce eyes.

"Don't forget our original intention, just choose some types that are very common on the street."

Anyway, you only need to wear it in 'this situation,' so don't be so fussy.

Are you asking me to compromise?

Carmilla narrowed her eyes slightly: "Besides, there's no point in blending in with the crowd. I don't think it's necessary to make myself ordinary. What's the point of being inconspicuous... Do you care about the eyes of ants?"

"It's probably a case of possessiveness kicking in."

Ye Shou's gaze wandered, and he sighed softly: "It's enough for only me to appreciate this beauty—similar thoughts occasionally flash through my mind."

"..."

Carmilla froze for a moment as if she'd been electrocuted, then snorted coldly and glared at Ye Shou with hostility.

Then I moved to the casual area and started to choose casual clothes.

So easy to deal with!

Oh dear, the shop assistant's eyes are like she's looking at a jerk...

However, that reaction probably meant "even so, I still want to forgive him"?

Ye Shou was helpless. Faced with such prejudice, he could only laugh self-deprecatingly. The shop assistant, who had been wearing tinted glasses, was immediately stunned. She clutched her chest as if she had difficulty breathing and took two steps back.

'I feel like my smile is becoming a weapon of mass destruction.'

There's nothing I can do; I chose this term myself... Should I still redeem it when the time comes?

I feel like there's no benefit in taking it, and it could easily cause trouble!

While Carmilla went to change her clothes, Ye Shou sat down and began to seriously examine the "temporary buff" on his body.

One is the smile series before "Triga", which mainly affects charm and affinity. Ye Shou hopes to retain the effect of increasing bonds, but remove the part that attracts bad romantic relationships... but it is not easy to cut it so simply.

That's alright. As long as Ye Shou keeps it under control, there won't be any major problems. After all, he's not the type of person who likes to flirt with women!

However, the other system card, the one related to "Triga" that I drew after transmigrating, has a very subtle content.

To be honest, Ye Shou didn't pay much attention to this card at first, because most of the content was related to Ultraman, either things he already possessed or just scraps, so it was practically useless to him now—Ye Shou himself was also developing various abilities of Ultraman, and now he didn't have any major weaknesses.

So he just picked two entries based on the principle of "a thief can't leave empty-handed," hoping to create a "1+1 greater than 2" effect with the ones he already owned... but as expected, it didn't work.

He had already accepted this fact, however—

An interesting thing happened after he and Carmilla collaborated to use the power of the Eternal Core to send Triga back to the modern era.

After Ye Shou underwent a time-space travel, the contents of his system card were refreshed, with several new options added!

-

[System Card - Triga]

[This week's theme: Might makes right!]

[~Worldview Update~]

【Concept Extraction of "Ultraman Galaxy Fight"】

-30:

[Mobile Fountain], [Ultraman's Heart], [Abusoliut's Heart]

-20:

[Cosmic Beast Fist], [Ultraman Wildness - My Style], [Abusoliut - Swordsmanship], [Ultraman Swordsmanship]

-15:

Debts must be repaid.

-5:

[The Self-Introduction Star]

-

That's right!

These entries look incredibly powerful, a world of difference from the previous ones!

The total is as high as 190, but with Ye Shou's current wealth, that's more than enough!

Ye Shou had been diligently accumulating Destiny Coins like a squirrel preparing for winter, but he could only fill his wallet without being able to spend them, which inevitably made him feel somewhat lost.

Sure enough, only when Ye Shou bought all the entries at once at this time would he feel that his hard work had not been in vain!

The "-20" column, needless to say, consists entirely of technical terms.

The following are the corresponding skills of 【Debts Must Be Repaid】 and 【Debts Never Be Repaid】 held by Ye Shou. They can make their own power into cards or medals and give them to others to use. In special circumstances, they can also be used as coordinates to provide "remote support".

Honestly, even if he didn't choose this one, he could achieve a similar effect if he had a few other items that worked together... but the "Octopus" type is basically worth the price, and Ye Shou wouldn't save money at a time like this.

[Self-Introduction Alien] Not a combat type, but the effect is quite interesting:

Always maintain composure and style, no matter the occasion;

Even when the enemy is strong and we are weak, we will not lose in terms of prestige. We will always appear to be in complete control, giving people the feeling that "he still has a trick up his sleeve".

Ye Shou felt that this was more like the entry for the red archer next door, but it didn't seem wrong to apply it to the little golden man.

It might seem like just a pretty "showy" term with no real use, but Ye Shou thought it might come in handy sometime. After all, even if it's just a temporary bluff, it could have an unexpected effect in high-level games.

Some villainous bosses are like this: their words and actions give people the impression of being unfathomable, but in reality, the protagonists could win simply by attacking them—they just drag things out for several episodes by putting on an act!

Isn't this a battle of wits?

Of course, this thing does have great practical value for Ye Shou:

If you can stall for even a few seconds, the transition will show your opponent what ruthlessness truly means.

—The above is just the appetizer; the real highlight is in the "-30" column.

Both [Ultraman's Heart] and [Absolut's Heart] are life-saving and sustain-type items, and they share the common feature that the heart must be protected in order to be effective.

The difference is that the former mainly provides powerful vitality, allowing one to "live even after being decapitated," and to regenerate even if the body explodes. The latter is more thorough; even if reduced to ashes, only the heart can regenerate, making it almost perfectly immortal, but there is a limit to the number of times it can be used, with a maximum of five.

Although Ye Shou selected all of them, these two entries could not work at the same time—Ye Shou did indeed only have one heart.

Therefore, the passive abilities "If the heart is not destroyed, the body can be reshaped" and "If only the heart remains, it can be reborn five times" will come into play depending on the situation.

Putting everything else aside, just those two keywords, along with the transition effects and the "five-second real man" tag, gave Ye Shou a huge sense of security.

[Moving Spring] looks like a survival skill, but it's actually a combat skill.

• Select an energy source and form a contract with it. When its own remaining energy is less than one-third, it will automatically open the channel to absorb energy.

• Improve conversion efficiency and increase the range of attribute adaptability, converting the absorbed energy into pure light or dark energy in a certain proportion.

Efficiency is constrained by distance and properties, but a powerful energy source itself has an extremely wide radiation range.

Depending on the circumstances, it may even be possible to achieve energy flow between galaxies, or even between different times and spaces.

"So...what do you think? Do you like it? Do you think it looks good?"

Carmilla's hesitant words drew Ye Shou's attention back to reality. He immediately focused his attention and examined her closely, unable to help but nod slightly.

The tall, silver-haired female warrior opted for a combination of jeans, a tube top, and a shirt. Her taut waist exuded power, making her look like a female fighter from a fighting game. The cool and stylish look suited her perfectly.

"This time it felt good~"

Ye Shou narrowed his eyes, glanced quickly at the fashion magazine on the sofa, pretended not to notice the origin of the outfit, and praised Carmilla with a smile.

She was secretly pleased with herself, trying her best to keep her lips from turning up, and then picked out another outfit to go into the changing room... It seemed as if she had been inspired by some kind of instinct, and she became addicted to changing clothes, while Ye Shou used his literary skills to praise her in different ways each time.

As it turns out, even dark giants are not immune to the allure of women. After receiving repeated praise from Ye Shou, Carmilla was clearly in a very good mood, and even her steps were light and airy.

The sales clerk hesitated for a while before finally mustering the courage to speak: "Sir, would you like to help this lady pick out an outfit as well? A man's eye for style can sometimes bring pleasant surprises."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shou glanced at Carmilla—

The silver-haired beauty crossed her arms and turned her head away: "Hmph, what he chose might not suit my taste!"

But she didn't leave; instead, she stood there waiting for something.

Ye Shou naturally understood. He got up, walked to the shelf, glanced at it, his fingertips brushing across several rows of hangers before finally pulling out a beige long dress. The style was simple, without any unnecessary decorations, but in Ye Shou's eyes, it would be just right to pair with a wide-brimmed straw hat. The hem of the dress reached just to the calves, and there was a thin gold belt around the waist.

"Try this." He handed her the dress and casually took off the straw hat worn by the mannequin in the window—the shop assistant pursed her lips and didn't dare to say a word.

Carmilla glanced down at it, her brows furrowing slightly, but she still accepted it.

Ye Shou casually sat down on the sofa and took out his phone to start browsing the news.

But the moment the scene changed, his expression froze:

"A giant horned alien lands on the coastline, and Ultraman Triga fights a fierce battle."

—The news push headline was very eye-catching.

In the accompanying image, a golden giant is punching Triga, who is lying on the ground. Each punch is shimmering with golden light, and sparks fly when it hits Triga!

Ye Shou remained calm and opened the video. He found that the sound was not loud, but the picture was clear enough, which allowed Ye Shou to confirm Triga's current predicament.

Whoosh~ The fitting room door opened.

Carmilla stepped out, her off-white dress accentuating her slender figure. The cinched waist made her curves even more defined. She slightly raised her chin, her gaze falling on Ye Shou, waiting for his reaction.

However, Ye Shou didn't look at her; he just stared at his phone screen with a furrowed brow.

Carmilla's smile slowly faded, and her joy and anticipation gradually cooled down.

"What's wrong?" Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible disappointment.
