“Try it. The key to delicious food is to put your heart into it, and of course, you can't forget the delicious seasoning. Tell me what you think after you've tried it.”
Yukino Yukinoshita sat opposite Zhao Hao, her captivating face radiating confidence.
“Then I'll eat.”
Zhao Hao picked up a mouthful of food and savored it, then tried each of the other dishes one by one.
After finishing, Zhao Hao commented, “Delicious. I can't say who cooks better between you and Shiina Mashiro, but personally, I’d say they're both equally good.”
“Equally good?”
While somewhat unconvinced, Yukino Yukinoshita didn’t contradict him, since Zhao Hao had already spoken.
After they finished their meal, Yukino Yukinoshita washed the dishes and then went home.
Zhao Hao took a shower, sat on his bed, glanced at the time—it was just past ten. He remembered his promise to watch Sakurajima Mai’s live stream at ten.
Good thing he didn’t forget, otherwise he’d be getting two withering glares on Monday.
He turned on his computer, opened a live streaming website, registered an account named "Light," entered the room number Sakurajima Mai had sent him yesterday, and clicked to enter.
As soon as he entered the live stream, he saw a barrage of comments filling the screen. He glanced at the viewership count—over 800,000 people were watching simultaneously.
It was only 10:05, meaning the stream had only been live for five minutes and already had 800,000 viewers. This star power was truly remarkable.
He scanned the comments—mostly things like “Sakurajima Mai I love you,” “From a little beauty to a great beauty,” “Wife, I love you.” These were all probably single guys, right?
Looking at Sakurajima Mai sitting at home, talking eloquently to her viewers, Zhao Hao took a photo and sent it to her.
In a luxurious apartment, Sakurajima Mai was choosing questions from the comments and answering them during her live stream. When she heard her phone buzzing on the table, she picked it up. It was a picture from Zhao Hao, showing her live stream.
Upon seeing it, Sakurajima Mai smiled, quickly replied, searched for “Light” on her live stream, and then promoted him to administrator.
Many viewers were asking who the new administrator was, speculating if he was Sakurajima Mai’s manager.
They even clicked on his profile, only to find it was a newly registered account.
[I see.]
Seeing Sakurajima Mai’s reply, Zhao Hao paused, then asked how her day was going.
He received the news that while there hadn’t been any changes, she would keep going.
As the two chatted through their phones, inside the TLT base, Zarab星人, using his exceptional disguise and hypnosis abilities, successfully infiltrated the Night Raid team’s base.
“This planet’s technology is so weak. While there are some advanced technologies, it’s clear they’re not from this era. Could there have been other high-tech alien life forms here before?”
Zarab星人 found it strange. This planet was obviously very backward, just a basic life planet in the vast universe.
Its technological level was limited, yet as he walked around, he noticed some technologies that shouldn’t exist on such a backward planet. He wondered if other alien life forms had visited this planet and traded with the natives, which led to their possession of these advanced technologies.
“Halt!”
As Zarab星人 was casually wandering around, disguised as a base researcher, a sharp voice rang out behind him.
Zarab星人 turned around, seeing a woman wearing a different type of combat uniform. It seemed like she belonged to the Night Raid team.
“What’s the matter?”
As Zarab星人 spoke, he continued walking forward.
But Saijo Nagi pointed a Dy-na-mite Special at Zarab星人 and questioned, “Who are you? I’ve been watching you since I saw you. You’ve been sneaking around everywhere. Normal researchers have designated areas and don’t just wander about. They all have tasks, but you seem bored and don’t even know the rules here.”
Saijo Nagi had been practicing shooting at the shooting range, and upon coming out, she noticed this suspicious researcher. So she secretly followed him and saw how odd he was, not looking like someone from the base.
“Saijo Vice Captain, what’s going on?”
A five-person squad member guarding the base interior came running over.
Saijo Nagi said, “I suspect this person is problematic. Arrest him first.”
“Yes!”
The Night Raid members had the highest status in the entire base, second only to the few leaders. These squad members would obey their orders, although there was usually nothing to do.
Seeing that they dared to approach, Zarab星人 simply decided to stop pretending, immediately returning to his true form. He twisted his shoulders and said, “Oh well, looks like I’ve been seen. Then I won’t hide anymore. With just you Earthlings, what can you do to me?”
Seeing Zarab星人 reveal his true form, Saijo Nagi and the five armed combat personnel all jumped in surprise, hurriedly aiming their guns at him.
“Damn alien, fire!”
Saijo Nagi fired first, bullets shooting from the gun barrel and hitting Zarab星人. While the other five combat personnel were frightened, they maintained their composure and quickly reacted, firing along with her.
“Heh heh heh, with your scrap metal, you think you can take me down? So naive!”
Zarab星人 sneered. While he wasn’t a pure combat-type alien, he was still formidable.
A transparent protective shield appeared in front of him, blocking all bullet attacks.
Meanwhile, Kirazawa Yu detected an unusual vibration wave, different from any monster or alien beast, directly appearing within the TLT base. He was stunned, quickly contacted the Night Raid team, and projected his body to investigate.
“Precognitive?”
Saijo Nagi looked at the figure that suddenly appeared, a white-clad Kirazawa Yu. He could project his body from another location, and the projection was as real as the real thing, not only capable of speaking and performing actions but also able to see what was in front of it.
Kirazawa Yu frowned, puzzled, “What is this thing? It’s not an alien beast or monster, it looks like a human?”
Saijo Nagi nodded, “Yes, it can speak and even transform into a researcher’s form. If he hadn’t been sneaking around, he’d have fooled us.”
Kirazawa Yu inquired, “Can speak and transform? What kind of creature are you?”
Zarab星人 pounded his chest, “I am Zarab星人! A super-famous alien in the universe! I have my eyes set on your planet. Will you willingly give it up, or will you make me take it by force?”
“Zarab星人, alien?”
Kirazawa Yu was shocked. He never thought Earth would face an alien invasion?
