Everyone's gaze fell upon the document, which clearly listed three roles: biological scientist, biological investigator, and biologist.
They would need to venture deep into the field to conduct detailed research on various living creatures, not only collecting samples for thorough analysis but also carefully designing and implementing relevant experiments. At the same time, they had to meticulously record the characteristics and related information of each organism, making them true experts in their field.
"My original intention was simply to embark on an adventurous journey, hoping to encounter extremely rare creatures and document them completely. However, unexpectedly, I inadvertently ran into that monster," Xiao Luuo explained to everyone with a solemn expression.
Munakata frowned slightly upon hearing this, responding firmly, "Still, this alone is not enough to be a sufficient reason for you to join GUTS."
At that very moment, Xiao Luuo unhurriedly took out another stack of prepared documents from his pocket and said with absolute confidence, "I have made a preliminary analysis of that monster that managed to escape. Everyone, please look: its entire body is covered in an exoskeleton, except for the abdomen, which is relatively vulnerable. Therefore, it can be concluded that its vital weakness is that soft belly!" Following this, Xiao Luuo further elaborated on his point.
Right on cue, Muzui, who was inside GUTS Base, chimed in through the communication device, saying, "Indeed. Through data analysis and comparison, Golza's abdomen is indeed significantly more fragile than the rest of its body."
Hearing this, Megumi Iruma pondered for a moment before giving an order: "Vice Chairman Munakata, bring this person back to the base first."
Upon receiving the order, Munakata reacted promptly and said, "Understood!" He then turned to face Xiao Luuo and invited him solemnly, "So now, please come with us to GUTS Base."
They soon arrived in the airspace above TPC Headquarters. Looking at the magnificent GUTS Base, Xiao Luuo realized that seeing it in person felt completely different from seeing it on a television screen. Clinging to the window of Guts Wing 2 and looking down at the GUTS headquarters in the sea, a 23-year-old young man felt an incomparable sense of awe.
As the group returned to GUTS Headquarters, Xiao Luuo was led by Munakata and the others into the GUTS Command Center. Looking at Megumi Iruma before him, he suddenly realized that the Megumi Iruma he had seen on TV and the one right in front of him possessed completely different auras!
"Hello, are you the one who analyzed the monster's weakness?" Megumi Iruma looked at the young man before her with a smile.
"That's right, it's me!" Xiao Luuo nodded directly, took out other monster data from his pocket, handed them to Megumi Iruma with both hands, and said, "These are dormant monsters I encountered, and I have also conducted related investigations on them."
Megumi Iruma looked at the data handed over by Xiao Luuo, which prominently featured Melba and Gagula. She then asked, "You mentioned that you also research these supernatural creatures. Then I would like to ask, how do you view these creatures—or rather, monsters?"
Xiao Luuo pretended to think for a moment, then answered with confidence, "I believe these monsters have always lived on Earth. They fell into a slumber for some reason and have now awakened. But for us humans, this is a devastating disaster. In fact, some monsters awaken because of human greed or the destruction of their habitats, while others are indigenous Earth creatures that mutated due to human influence."
Hearing Xiao Luuo's words, Megumi Iruma fell into deep thought. She felt that what Xiao Luuo said was right; perhaps it really was humanity's own fault.
She then looked at Xiao Luuo and said, "Go take your assessment first. If you pass, you can join GUTS. Even if you don't engage in combat, you must learn to use GUTS weapons, right?"
Inside the assessment base:
The tests here evaluated the use and disassembly of firearms, physical fitness, simulated aircraft piloting, and even simulated submarine operation.
Xiao Luuo couldn't help but freeze upon seeing this, and asked, "How long would it take to learn how to fly a plane and drive a submarine?"
"Don't worry, you can learn these things slowly later."
Two weeks later:
Megumi Iruma frowned as she looked at the transcript handed to her by Munakata. "This score seems even lower than Daigo's," Muzui said in surprise from behind her, looking at the report card.
"It doesn't matter, but we need a biologist—at least someone like him who can analyze a monster's weakness."
The next day, everyone was present in the command room, and Megumi Iruma officially announced the news of Xiao Luuo joining GUTS, which was met with cheers from everyone.
At that moment, Director Sawai's figure suddenly appeared on the big screen: "A monster has appeared in Kuraland."
"Is it Golza?" Megumi Iruma asked immediately.
"No, it's a different monster from Golza. There are no casualties so far. I have decided to deploy GUTS!" Director Sawai replied.
"However, how can GUTS fight monsters in its current state?" Megumi Iruma's eyes were filled with worry; after all, no one wanted to watch their teammates die right before their eyes.
"I know that, Captain Iruma. I have decided to begin modifying GUTS aircraft into combat-ready models immediately. Execute the order at once." With that, the big screen went directly black.
Meanwhile, Xiao Luuo heard none of this, as a screen visible only to him had appeared before his eyes, showing that the shop button had been unlocked.
He began browsing the items in the shop.
Looking at the Zepellion Ray floating before him, along with the ray attacks of all the other Ultra Heroes, everything was right here.
There was also a page-turning option at the bottom. The second page featured direct-purchase monster cards and even Spark Dolls. However, even the weakest monster cost as many as three thousand points, and the final page actually featured a monster resembling an egg, priced at a staggering five million points!
Checking the name, it turned out to be Hyper Zetton! That overwhelmingly powerful, invincible monster!
He then looked at the monster lottery. Seeing that he had one draw remaining, he quickly thought to himself, "Draw!"
The roulette wheel started spinning as a flash of gold swept past. A card slowly formed on the virtual screen, and as the golden light dissipated, the figure on the card gradually emerged.
"It's actually Zetton! The powerful monster that once defeated Ultraman! I just wonder if this one of mine can evolve into Hyper Zetton!" Xiao Luuo couldn't help feeling secretly delighted.
At that moment, seeing Xiao Luuo spacing out, Daigo nudged him with his shoulder and said, "Xiao Luuo, we're in a meeting. Don't zone out."
"Ah? Oh, oh! Got it!" Xiao Luuo hurriedly replied, his thoughts returning to reality. Of course, being called Xiao Luuo was at his own request.
Listening to everyone discuss how to modify Guts Wing, Xiao Luuo knew that Gagula was about to appear—those poor wretched brothers.
"Ding! New mission issued: Rescue the Gagula family. Reward: 100 points."
Hearing everyone finish discussing the Guts Wing modification plan, the others went out to busy themselves with the retrofitting. Xiao Luuo simply returned to his seat and sat down; after all, this had nothing to do with him, as he was just a biologist, not a scientist.
Daigo was currently sitting next to Xiao Luuo, while Muzui played footage of Ultraman Tiga fighting on the computer, continuously sharing his analysis with Daigo.
After the introduction finished, Muzui pulled up the footage of Gomora and said, "Currently, this monster is the strongest of the three. After all, even after Melba went berserk, this one still held the upper hand. However, we still don't know whether it's on humanity's side or the monsters' side."
Hearing this, Xiao Luuo couldn't help feeling a surge of joy inside—after all, who wouldn't be happy when their own monster was being praised?
