I Want to Play an Ultraman Too

Tang San thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Then... how about I play the First Ultraman? That'll save you two brothers from killing each other."

Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Get lost!"

{Ding, negative emotions from Tang San +738}

Zhu Zhuqing said, "If you two don't get up soon, believe it or not, I'll take pictures of you and post them on Tonight Headlines so everyone on the continent with a phone can enjoy the sight."

In the flattest tone possible, Zhu Zhuqing had suddenly delivered the most devastating words.

Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe immediately separated.

Afraid of being secretly photographed, Luo Yihe willed it, and the slightly dirty white-and-gold brocade robe that had made him look absurdly flamboyant instantly changed into modern clothing.

A black windbreaker paired with cuffed cargo pants, its sharp cut giving off an icy coolness.

{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Chenghe +759}

As for Xiao Chenghe, he wore a fitted green robe that emphasized the taut lines of his body and perfectly displayed his muscles. But not only was it dirty now, it had also been snagged and torn in several places.

Xiao Chenghe could only pitifully pitch a tent and go change his clothes.

After Xiao Chenghe came out, everyone from Shrek was extremely curious about Luo Yihe's transformable clothing.

Ning Rongrong even offered a high price to buy it, but Luo Yihe only had this one. There was no way he would consider selling it. Money could always be earned, but clothing that could transform into all kinds of outfits could keep him looking handsome for life.

Only after Xiao Chenghe came out did Zhu Zhuqing say speechlessly, "Are you two seriously this bored? You started fighting just over acting out a story? What happened to your brotherhood?"

Everyone's gazes turned back to Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe.

With remarkable tacit understanding, Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe said in unison, "Between dreams and brotherhood, I chose my dream."

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhu Zhuqing +538}

Zhu Zhuqing said, "Your dream is acting out a story?"

Luo Yihe said unhappily, "Zhuqing, what do you mean by that? Is this just a story? This is a dream. This is art."

"Believe it or not, even if you became a Titled Douluo, your influence still wouldn't be as great as playing the first Ultraman."

"I don't believe it!" Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Sister-in-law Zhuqing, it's true," Xiao Chenghe said. "You have no idea—back then, when Brother Luo merely told the story of Ultraman, people from more than half of Notting City came to listen. The other half couldn't even squeeze in and couldn't hear anything. If you don't believe me, ask Tang San."

Tang San nodded. "That's right. If Nuoding Academy hadn't had special privileges, probably no one besides the headmaster would've been able to get in."

Zhu Zhuqing and the Shrek crowd were stunned. "That exaggerated?"

"Of course," Luo Yihe said. "Just imagine it. When the world is on the verge of being destroyed by monsters, everyone is running away, but only you stroll in the opposite direction. Then you take out your transformation device and shout before all those despairing people: Tiga!"

Xiao Chenghe seized the topic. "Then you transform into a Giant of Light yourself and become the hope of the entire world. Just thinking about it feels insanely awesome, doesn't it?"

Tang San nodded repeatedly. If he had been able to defeat Luo Yihe and Xiao Chenghe, he would definitely have fought for the chance to be the first Ultraman as well.

After all, people found it hard to forget the first, the pioneers, and the trailblazers. Later ones might become better, but pioneers would always be pioneers. Even if you surpassed a pioneer, your fame might not necessarily exceed theirs.

Besides, the feeling people on the Douluo Continent would have when seeing a Giant of Light for the first time would be completely different from the second time, or the nth time.

After everyone had gained a general understanding of Ultraman,

Zhao Wuji quietly raised his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Ahem!"

"Well, actually, I think I'm quite suited to playing an Ultraman too."

After all, who didn't want to become famous across the Douluo Continent?

The Shrek crowd looked at one another. Aside from Huo Yuhao and Zhu Zhuqing, everyone raised their hands. Even Ning Rongrong raised hers.

"I want to play an Ultraman too!" ×4

Luo Yihe was speechless. "..."

Xiao Chenghe was speechless. "..."

Tang San was speechless. "..."

"Damn it, why is the competition getting fiercer the more we talk?"

Zhao Wuji said, "Ahem! Well, I've heard enough of what you said. How about this? Let's have a match. Whoever's stronger gets to be the first Ultraman."

Luo Yihe immediately shot him down. "You're not suitable!"

"Why not?" Zhao Wuji said. "What's unsuitable about me, Old Zhao? See these muscles? I'm practically exactly like the Ultraman you described."

"Do you really need Brother Luo to say your physical appearance isn't suitable before you'll give up?" Xiao Chenghe asked.

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhao Wuji +999}

Truly, Zhao Wuji had never once felt inferior about his appearance in his entire life. Today was the first time he wondered why he hadn't grown taller.

Luo Yihe interrupted, "Big Bear, how can you talk like that? Who said Teacher Zhao Wuji can't act?"

Zhao Wuji was overjoyed. He suddenly felt that Luo Yihe was quite the decent kid.

Luo Yihe continued, "Do you remember the Pigmon monster from the First Ultraman I told you about? Wouldn't Teacher Zhao be a great fit if he put on that monster costume?"

Xiao Chenghe and Tang San looked at Zhao Wuji and imagined him wearing that strange monster costume, covered in crimson thorny fur, with pale hands and feet like dry bones.

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Chenghe and Tang San couldn't help laughing out loud at the image.

Although the others did not understand, they could tell it definitely was not a compliment.

{Ding, negative emotions from Zhao Wuji +750}

Zhao Wuji stared at Luo Yihe with a face full of resentment, making even Luo Yihe feel embarrassed. But he genuinely thought Zhao Wuji was quite suitable.

"Ahem! Well, since everyone wants to act, but each installment only has one main Ultraman, I'll play the first one. Big Bear can play a Dark Tiga first, alright?"

Seeing that Xiao Chenghe still wanted to speak, Luo Yihe hurriedly continued, "Don't push your luck. I've already compromised. Besides, I'm the only one in this world who can film it. Even if I let you act, what could you possibly make? Do you know how to film it? Do you know how to upload it to phones? Do you know how to make everyone see it?"

Xiao Chenghe choked. He really did not know any of that.

"Then... fine! But I want to play Zero."

Luo Yihe said indifferently, "No problem. When the time comes, I can even make a guest appearance."

Xiao Chenghe was puzzled. "A guest appearance? Did Tiga ever appear in front of Zero?"

Luo Yihe gave a wicked smile. "Tiga? Of course not. I'll be making a guest appearance as your father, Ultraman Seven."

{Ding, negative emotions from Xiao Chenghe +999}

As soon as Luo Yihe finished speaking, he activated his teleportation and vanished with a whoosh.

Tang San explained Ultraman Seven and Zero's relationship to the Shrek crowd and pointed out that Zero should be the protagonist of the entire Ultraman series.

When everyone learned that Luo Yihe wanted to play Xiao Chenghe's father, they were all delighted.

Dai Mubai especially wished he could play Xiao Chenghe's father. Even if it was only a stage play, as long as he could get revenge—even fake revenge—he would happily do it over and over.
