[Mission Completed! You have earned 1 Dark Mode Transformation!]
[Please choose whether to leave the instance world.]
Choosing not to leave the instance world immediately, Chen Yu and the dog returned to the vicinity of the dilapidated temple in the mountains through the mountain tunnel.
Honestly, Chen Yu wanted to try something.
If he could last until the grand finale of this world, would there be a chance to trigger another mission?
In the Ultraman Leo TV instance, Chen Yu stayed for a year without reaching the end.
The monsters that appeared on a daily basis did not change the mission.
Chen Yu felt it was because those monsters weren't strong enough, so they didn't trigger a mission.
Now, there's an opportunity to test this out. From the appearance of Evil Tiga to the grand finale with Gatanothor, it shouldn't take too long.
Actually, this experiment carries risks.
After all, Chen Yu doesn't have many trump cards to use against Gatanothor. If it really comes down to it, he might have to rely on plot armor.
"Let's give it a try. If a mission triggers halfway through, that would also mean a successful test."
Thinking so, Chen Yu decided to stay here for now.
Having watched countless episodes of survival shows, Chen Yu plans to live in the dilapidated temple on the mountain.
Despite being dilapidated, the temple could be quite comfortable after some cleaning.
As for daily necessities, Chen Yu's storage space was well-prepared, even including quilts and beds, just ready to be taken out.
"Thank goodness this storage space is adapted to the size of a Giant of Light, otherwise it might not have been able to hold so much."
After cleaning the temple, a bonfire was lit inside.
The yellow-haired dog, seeming to be a regular here, stayed close to Chen Yu, seeing that he wasn't planning to leave.
Seeing how lively the dog was, Chen Yu took out some tools, chopped some trees while collecting firewood, and also built a doghouse for the dog.
The yellow-haired dog, having its unique house, happily barked in excitement.
"Indeed, the intelligence of a super-ancient monster is different."
Time passed until evening, and Chen Yu took a pot from his storage space, setting it on a makeshift stone stand to boil water.
Then, he cooked two packs of instant noodles, even cracking two eggs into it.
The yellow-haired dog, attracted by the aroma, wagged its tail beside Chen Yu, drooling.
"Don't drool; it smells like beef stew, but there's no meat."
Chen Yu chuckled, petting the dog's head as he spoke.
After cooking, Chen Yu still served a bowl to the dog, knowing they might spend the following days together.
After a satisfying meal, they slept through the night.
The next day, Chen Yu woke up early and decided to go down the mountain.
The quickest way down was through the tunnel leading to the stone chamber since it directly leads to Kumamoto city's surface.
However, TPC might still be investigating the stone chamber, as it connects to Keigo Madoka's Sedek Company.
Madoka's imprisonment by TPC wasn't just because he turned into Evil Tiga.
It was because he conspired with Dr. Dango from TPC to steal remnants of the other two pyramid statues.
Whether TPC knows Madoka can transform into Evil Tiga, Chen Yu wasn't sure.
They should be able to extract some information from Madoka, at least his intention to mass-produce Giants of Light, which TPC must be aware of.
Chen Yu followed the old stone steps down the mountain to a small town.
The town had plenty of daily necessities to satisfy Chen Yu's needs.
Besides these items, Chen Yu also bought some food for the next few days.
As days passed, Chen Yu immersed himself in thought within the temple, not neglecting his martial arts and physical training.
Until one day, he woke up to find the entire mountain covered in yellow flowers.
A breeze caused the flowers to sway, dispersing pollen everywhere.
The dog sniffed the air, stood up on two legs, and started dancing in a sophisticated manner.
Chen Yu watched in astonishment, then realized what was happening.
Change was coming!
At that moment, a mission notification popped up.
[Instance world anomaly detected, instance exit closed, redefining the instance...]
[Definition successful.]
[Instance Name: Ultraman Tiga - Eternal Life!]
[Instance Level: Beginner.]
[Instance Description: Zetton blooms on Earth, bewildering human minds, putting the planet at great risk.]
[Mission: Eliminate Zetton.]
[Reward: Zetton Essence Liquid Oral Solution x5]
After reading the mission information, Chen Yu felt this was the easiest mission he had ever encountered!
The key point was the absence of "anomaly in the world's trajectory" in the instance description!
Without those words, it meant there wouldn't be any unexpected surprises.
But what's with the last reward, Zetton Essence Liquid?
Without the word "essence," it would have been a 404 error!
In the original story, Zetton Essence Liquid was used by the departing ancient humans of Earth.
It allowed them infinite life extension, provided they transformed into electronic bio-humans and stored the Zetton Essence Liquid in their heads.
Since it's a reward for a beginner mission, having any benefit is good enough for Chen Yu. It's better than nothing.
"Just going through the motions, anyway."
"But according to the original story, Zetton's main body shouldn't appear so soon, right?"
Chen Yu briefly recalled.
It seems not. Zetton's main body should already be somewhere on Earth, just not yet determined.
In the original story, Ultraman Tiga defeated Zetton at night because Zetton loses most of its vitality without sunlight, making it easier to deal with.
Thus, Chen Yu decided to act at night, directly eliminating Zetton to complete the mission.
Now, he just needed to wait for dusk, and...
"The dog dancing video is too rare; better record it!"
Opening his phone's camera, Chen Yu started filming the dancing yellow-haired dog.
Time ticked away, and soon, it was evening.
Chen Yu was about to cook when a figure in a white uniform appeared on the old stone steps.
