Let you play the villain of Ultra World, you become a hero

Shinya Kaburagi, who was playing video games, looked up when he heard this, glanced at the assistant, and then smiled at her.

"Thanks a lot."

"The winning team members who have reserved the gaming helmets this time are Megumi Naruma, Seiichi Munakata, Masami Horii, Tetsuo Shinjo, and Reina Nanase. Who do you want to give the qualification to purchase the gaming helmet to this time?"

The assistant lady then asked again.

After hearing this, Shinya Kaburagi thought for a while and gave his answer.

"Give it to Xincheng."

"Ok."

The assistant nodded after hearing this, then thought of something and spoke to Shinya Kabuki again.

"There is one more thing. Regarding inviting Chris Maya to sing the theme song for our game, the other party's agency has responded. They want to have a face-to-face meeting with us, and the time is set for 3 pm the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand." Kaburagi Shinya said that he understood, "Please tell them that I will arrive on time."

"Considering that Ms. Kris Maya's agency is not in Tokyo, but in Osaka, 500 kilometers away from Tokyo, do you need me to book a flight for you in advance?"

The assistant then asked again.

"No need." Kaburagi Shinya shook his head. "I'll drive there myself."

He has been staying in the company playing games recently and has hardly gone out. He has been eager to go out for a walk.

What's more, ever since his last encounter with the Muzhen aliens, Shin Kaburagi has been eager to travel around and see if he can encounter any wild enemies so as to test the power of Neomegas.

"it is good."

After the assistant finished reporting all the contents, she turned around and left.

After watching the assistant leave, Kaburagi Shin simply packed his luggage and planned to leave for Osaka immediately. In fact, he didn't have much to pack, because he didn't have much luggage at all, most of it was Coke.

After all, for Shinya Kaburagi, he can give up anything except happy water.

Driving on the way to Osaka, Shinya Kaburagi passed through many villages along the way.

What shocked him was that the urbanization rate of these villages was so high, even higher than the urbanization rate on Earth in 2023 before he traveled through time.

“Is this still the countryside in 2007?”

As a post-2007s generation, Shinya Kaburagi often lived in the countryside before traveling through time. In his previous life in , he was just seven years old, in the middle of childhood.

What was his village like at that time? It was a bumpy dirt road that would become muddy when it rained. It was fields of crops planted everywhere. It was a bungalow with no running water and frequent power outages, and a daily life without the Internet or electronic products.

But in the countryside of this world, these characteristics are completely invisible.

There are no more continuous fields, but construction sites under construction. There are no more muddy and bumpy dirt roads, but flat and open cement roads extending in all directions.

If it weren't for the fact that the nearby buildings were all traditional Japanese single-family buildings and there were no skyscrapers to be seen, Shinya Kaburaki wouldn't even have thought this was a rural area.

"Even if Japan's economy is developed, the urbanization rate in rural areas wouldn't be so high, right?"

Shinya Kaburagi slowed down his driving and passed through these villages slowly, his face full of shock.

"Is it because of the establishment of the TPC that countries no longer scheme against each other and instead use all their resources for development?"

Just as Shinya Kaburagi was daydreaming, the sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little hungry, but there was no restaurant in front.

As the saying goes, when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers, you may think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village. Originally, Kaburagi Shin had already prepared himself to go hungry for the whole night, but he didn't expect to see a ramen stand in front of him.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Shinya Kaburagi suddenly realized something was wrong.

It was so late and there was no one around, and suddenly there was only one ramen stall on the country road.

It was obvious that there was something odd about this ramen stand.

"Is it Obik?"

Shinya Kaburagi quickly made such a guess.

Chapter 43: The Old Village

"Is it Obik?"

Looking at the ramen stall that suddenly appeared in front of him, Shinya Kaburagi immediately made such a guess in his mind.

Obike is a monster who has lived in Hikino Street for a long time. As the village where he lived was developed into a health park, in order to preserve the old village, he began to scare others with the name of Obike. In the end, in the battle with Tiga, after realizing that the old village could not be returned, he shed tears and deliberately let Ultraman Tiga kill him, and turned into light particles and disappeared in Ultraman Tiga's arms.

"I actually met Obik."

This scene seemed familiar to Shinya Kaburagi, and he soon remembered, isn’t this a classic element of horror movies?

The pitch-black night where you can't see your hand in front of you, the deserted country roads in the wilderness, the monster legends that keep circulating, and the ramen stalls that exude a sense of weirdness everywhere.

"The elements are full."

Shinya Kaburagi couldn't help but let out a sigh, then he stepped on the brakes and slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

Although Obike does exist and possesses special abilities, Shinya Kabaki is not afraid.

Because he is not human either.

His true form is a parasitic life form, in simple terms, a bug, and the object of his possession is a Cheyne, or alien.

When these two factors are combined, he is obviously more terrifying than Obik.

Therefore, Shinya Kaburagi chose to stop the car and planned to go over to meet this monster who had lived for a long time.

What kind of sparks will emerge when the long-standing native monsters on Earth meet aliens from the universe?

If I were to make an anime, I'd already thought of the name Kaburagi Shinya.

It's called "The Alien Internet Addicted Boy Will Not Meet the Monster Grandpa"

Of course, the most crucial point is that Shinya Kaburagi is hungry.

However, there was nothing else in his car except Coke, and it was obvious that Coke could not be eaten as a meal, so Shin Kabaki chose to get out of the car and went to the ramen stall in Obike, intending to eat a bowl of steaming ramen.

When he saw Shinya Kabaki coming, Obike, who was originally planning to close the stall, suddenly stopped.

"Young man, you must be very hungry coming here so late."

Obike walked forward with a smile and asked Shinya Kabaki.

"really."

Upon hearing this, Shinya Kaburagi rubbed his belly and nodded at Obike.

"Uncle, you don't know, I have been traveling alone for most of the day, and I am already starving."

"one person?"

After hearing the news, Obike's eyes lit up.

Then he spoke to Kaburagi Shinya with great enthusiasm.

"If I guessed it right, I'll make you a bowl of beef ramen so you can taste my cooking skills."

"Okay." Kabaki Shinya naturally would not refuse this, and he randomly chose a seat to sit down, and at the same time he did not forget to remind Uncle Obike. "Uncle, remember to put more chopped green onions, so that the ramen will taste better."

"Ok."

After a busy day, Uncle Obike started preparing dinner for Shinya Kabaki.

Shin Kabaki just quietly watched Uncle Obik busy himself, and chatted with him from time to time.

"Uncle, I see our village has developed so fast. I almost didn't recognize it on the way here."

When Shinya Kabaki said this, Uncle Obike, who was cooking noodles, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Shinya Kabaki.

"Have you been here before, young man?"

"No." Kaburagi Shinya shook his head. "But I came from the countryside, and I remember that the night in the village should be dark. But now..."

Having said this, Kaburagi Shinya suddenly raised his head and looked at the lights in the distance.

"The village has changed so fast that I can hardly recognize it."

Uncle Obike did not respond and concentrated on cooking ramen for Shinya Kabaki.

Shinya Kaburagi didn't care about this and continued to talk to himself.

"But I still like the old village and miss the old days. Although the living conditions back then were far worse than they are now, I still think that life back then was much more interesting than it is now."

After hearing what Shinya Kabaki said, Uncle Obike was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly reacted and served the cooked ramen to Shinya Kabaki.

"Young man, your ramen is ready."

"Thank you, uncle."

Seeing this, Shinya Kaburagi reached out to take the ramen, then put it on the table in front of him and looked down.

Uncle Obike did not forget what he had told him, and he covered the ramen he cooked for him with chopped green onions. In addition to the chopped green onions floating on the hot soup, there were also several layers of beef on top of the ramen.

Seeing the bowl of steaming ramen in front of him with rich ingredients, Shinya Kaburagi's appetite suddenly whetted, and he quickly picked up his chopsticks to taste it.

While enjoying ramen, Shinya Kabaki did not forget to continue chatting with Uncle Obike.

"Uncle, what was your village like in the past?"

When Mr. Obike heard Shinya Kabaki's question, his expression suddenly changed.

He stared at Shinya Kaburagi for a long time before finally speaking to Shinya Kaburagi in a rather complicated tone.

"Young man, are you interested in the past of our village?"

"Yes." Shinya Kaburagi nodded seriously, with a hint of anticipation on his face.

Uncle Obike was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face.

"The nights in the village used to be much darker than they are now. At that time, there was a lookout tower in the village. There was a clear stream near the tower, and across the river was a lotus pond..."

Uncle Obike was getting more and more excited as he spoke.

Shin Kabaki had already finished his ramen and was listening quietly to what Uncle Obike had to say.

"pity......"

At this moment, a look of loneliness suddenly appeared on Uncle Obik's face.

"Nothing can go back to the way it was before."

"Maybe there is still hope for the future." Shinya Kaburagi said softly.

Although we can never go back to the old village in real life, we can replicate it in the game.

Shinya Kaburagi has always felt that the meaning of games, besides being entertainment, is also to make up for regrets.

However, that is just a virtual world.

"Just think of it as a beautiful Midsummer Night's Dream."

Kaburagi Shinya muttered quietly.

"what are you saying?"

Uncle Obike didn't hear clearly what Shinya Kabaki was talking to himself.

"I mean, sir, your ramen is very good. Thank you for your hospitality."

"is it?"

Uncle Obike smiled from the bottom of his heart when he heard this.

"But there is one more thing I need to trouble you with." Shinya Kaburagi's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter?" asked Uncle Obike.

"Can you write me an IOU? I seem to have run out of cash."

Chapter 44: Village Guardian

"Uncle, can I buy on credit? I'm out of cash."

Shinya Kabaki said to Uncle Obike with an embarrassed look on his face.

As the chief planner of the game Civilization Survival, Shinya Kaburagi is not short of money, but he is not interested in money. However, most of his money is in his bank card, and he only takes a little change when he goes out. And the change he took on this trip was used to buy Coke on the way.

Therefore, when Shinya Kaburagi had enjoyed a delicious dinner, he was embarrassed to find that he seemed to have no cash when he was about to pay.

Uncle Obike's ramen stall doesn't seem to have a credit card machine.
