Chapter 781 Orb: Zetton is truly my guide!
Su Yang and Jugglus casually chatted about the Ring of Light; the most important thing now was to dissuade Orb from his idea of training.
After much discussion, only Su Yang could play the villain; he was going to drain all the energy from Orb's body.
Since I'm currently short on Ultraman Light ingredients, I just drew Orb's directly, saving me the trouble of going to the Land of Light to get more.
"Won't this have any effect on his health?" Jugglus asked, his face full of worry.
"He won't die. Stay on Monster Star for a few more days and observe him for a while."
After saying that, Su Yang's body disappeared on the spot.
With his strength at that level, if he wanted to make a move against Orb, Orb wouldn't even be aware of it.
It might have been just a moment of distraction, but Orb found himself depleted of energy, and the timer on his chest was flashing red like crazy.
Two days later.
Orb returned to Monster Planet and his familiar job, but he became depressed.
Is it possible for energy to mysteriously disappear on the path to godhood?
Orb took a moment to ask Jaden.
Su Yang began to lie with a straight face: "Everyone's situation is different, maybe this is also a step for you to become stronger."
"Maybe after repeating this cycle thousands or tens of thousands of times, you'll become a god directly."
Orb's eyes flickered; he felt that what Zetton said was a bit far-fetched, but he had never experienced anything like this before: "Really?"
Su Yang didn't make any definitive statements: "This is just my guess. You can manage Monster Star while cultivating. Monster Star can provide you with the best resources."
"Whenever you feel you've reached a critical point and need to focus on breaking through, just call my name and I'll give you a break."
"Thank you so much, it's good to have someone like you to guide me!" Orb said with gratitude in his eyes.
Su Yang didn't reveal his guilt, and waved his hand with a smile: "It's all what I should do..."
"There's one more thing. The prison will be able to start operations soon. I hope you can mentor him more, so you'll have more free time to cultivate."
Orb replied dutifully, "I will."
With Orb and Prison around, Su Yang felt he didn't need to worry about Monster Planet anymore. After spending two days playing at his hometown, he returned to the B1 universe.
……
Black Star Cafe.
Dressed as a waiter, Baruru sat behind the counter, waiting for the first customer of the day.
"Could I have two cups of coffee?" The girl led the little boy into the shop, glanced at the unique decor, and asked timidly.
Baruru sensed that the two men didn't look very wealthy, so he took out a price list and very tactfully reminded them to look at the prices: "Are you sure? Why don't you take a look at the price list first and see what flavor you want?"
As expected, the girl's breath hitched and she stopped moving when she saw the price.
Noticing the girl's predicament, Baluru, mindful of human pride, glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Sorry, it's almost noon, we're not open at noon."
"Okay." The girl visibly relaxed and took her younger brother's hand as they went out.
"Wow, Baluru, your emotional intelligence is higher than most adults now," Xiao Yao said with a smile as she walked out of the kitchen carrying a baking tray.
"Can we change the name of our shop?" Baruru asked, a little annoyed.
"Just call it a black-hearted coffee shop, that way people will have a psychological expectation of the coffee price."
Xiao Yao laughed: "The adults won't agree."
As they were talking, Su Yang walked in from the door and looked at the shop assistants who were chatting and laughing inside: "I just saw a couple of customers walk out of the door. Judging from their expressions, they probably didn't buy anything from our store. Can anyone tell me why?"
Baruru: "It's normal for people to leave when they see the high price of coffee."
Su Yang: "Spending so much money on a cup of water, anyone would think it's expensive."
"This is where you sales staff come in; getting these kinds of customers to make purchases is your real skill."
"Forget it, if you guys had the brains of the Ma Qingduo aliens, this store wouldn't have been losing money for so long."
"Has nothing much happened on Earth lately?"
Baruru: "Everything is normal."
Su Yang asked again, "Where is Nan Xizi?"
Baluru revealed a gossipy expression: "He went out with Beidou."
Su Yang waved his hand and said, "Record absence without leave."
……
That evening.
Hokuto and Minami Yuko strolled together on the beach. The sea breeze blew by, and an ambiguous atmosphere rose between them.
"Beidou, did you ask me out this time because you have something to say?" Nan Xizi asked, blushing.
“Yes, I…” Beidou opened his mouth, then froze.
The children's noise caught his attention.
Not far away, children were making a racket on the shore, while in the sea, a small figure was bobbing up and down with the waves.
"The child has fallen into the sea!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Beidou quickly took off his shirt and jumped into the sea.
A few minutes later, Beidou dragged the child onto the beach, anxiously checking on the child's condition: "Hey? Are you alright?"
"I'm perfectly fine," came the child's simple reply after being rescued.
Beidou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the children present: "It's really too dangerous for you kids to play on the beach without adult supervision!"
The other children nearby chimed in, "We all know the sea is dangerous, so we stay far away. Only Yongzhi wants to collect pretty seashells, so he often lingers in the shallow water..."
"Where are your family members?" Beidou asked, looking at the child she had rescued.
“My dad hasn’t come back yet, only my sister is home right now,” Yongzhi replied, his expression suddenly turning anxious as he began searching his clothes. “Where are my seashells? I’ve collected so many seashells, just over sixty more, and Dad will be home!”
"What does this mean?" Beidou looked at the child next to him in confusion.
Before the children could respond, Yongzhi's sister arrived and stopped the children from speaking: "Didn't I tell you not to play with Yongzhi?"
After saying that, she noticed her younger brother, who was soaked to the bone: "Yongzhi? How are you?"
Beidou: "You're such a bad older sister! Your little brother just fell into the sea!"
"You saved him? Thank you so much!" Sister Yongzhi clutched her chest, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Beidou: "I'm a member of the Tucker team. Tell me in detail what your situation is like."
"Your brother risked his life to collect seashells."
Nan Xizi followed up, "And also, why are you, as the older sister, restricting your younger brother's social life?"
Half an hour later, at Yongzhi's house.
Yongzhi's older sister recounted her family's situation in detail, her expression sorrowful: "After our father's shipwreck, I didn't know how to help Yongzhi accept it, so I lied to him and told him that he needed to collect a thousand pretty seashells, and that once he had enough, our father would come back."
"We don't let him play with those kids because we don't want him to hear about his father from them."
"I really don't know how to keep this a secret anymore... I wanted to take him out today to relax and distract him, but prices are so high these days, I can't even afford two cups of coffee with my salary..."
