Chapter 143: The Truth of Time and Space

On this day, Yue Longze once again took the "Three Hairs" out for their daily moral cultivation.

With summer fading away, the weather had become increasingly cool. The fresh breeze brushing against his face on the road made Yue Longze feel refreshed and invigorated.

"Crisp autumn air, indeed!"

Yue Longze was in a great mood. He loved this season—neither too cold nor too hot.

The Three Hairs were working diligently, consciously performing various good deeds that caused the people around them to look on with newfound respect.

...

"Alright, that’s enough. Let’s take a break!"

Yue Longze called out to the trio, intending to take them for a stroll through the nearby Chengnan University.

"Big Brother!"

Hearing his call, the Three Hairs scrambled over in a blur.

However, the synchronized chorus of "Big Brother" made Yue Longze knit his brows. He suddenly felt that "Big Brother" just didn't sound cool enough.

"From now on, don't call me Big Brother," Yue Longze said, frowning.

"Huh?" The Three Hairs were shocked.

"Did we not do a good enough job? We'll continue to work even harder!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"We'll definitely strive to improve our moral cultivation further!"

The Three Hairs appeared quite anxious; they didn't want to lose a "Big Brother" like Yue Longze. They firmly believed that following someone with such extraordinary skills would surely lead to great success.

"Let me finish!"

Yue Longze felt a bit helpless, yet secretly pleased. His three underlings were quite dependent on him!

He cleared his throat with a touch of affectation. "What I mean is, from now on, you call me 'Boss'! You are not allowed to call me 'Big Brother' anymore! I feel like 'Boss' sounds much more badass!"

Hearing this, the Three Hairs breathed a sigh of relief.

"Understood, no problem, Big Brother! Oh, wait—Boss!"

Green Hair corrected himself just in time. His cheeks were still swollen from the beating Yue Longze had given him, and he didn't want to imagine which part of his body would swell up next.

Red Hair and Yellow Hair also chimed in with "Boss," and only then did Yue Longze nod with satisfaction. "Let’s head over to the nearby Chengnan University for a walk!"

"Boss, you really have an eye for things! There are so many beauties at Chengnan University, you couldn't possibly see them all!" Yellow Hair seemed excited. He had done his fair share of scouting for beauties at the campus.

"Bang!"

Yue Longze gave Yellow Hair’s bald head a sharp flick. "Vulgar! We aren't going there to look at beauties; we are going there to cultivate our character! Do you even know what cultivating character means?"

Yellow Hair rubbed his head and mumbled weakly, "Boss... I don't know what 'character' is... I only know what 'integrity' is..."

Yue Longze felt his head throbbing. "Then hold onto your integrity!"

......

The four of them strolled toward Chengnan University. The weather was fine, the streets were lively with pedestrians, and there was no shortage of fashionably dressed, attractive women.

Yue Longze had no interest in beauties at the moment, but for the Three Hairs, it was a different story.

Three pairs of shifty eyes scanned the various beauties around them, unable to look away! Despite their appearance, the Three Hairs were actually bona fide virgins, roughly the same age as Yue Longze.

As they drew closer to the university, the number of female students increased. Cute or sexy, flirtatious or conservative—every type of girl could be found. Of course, there were also plenty of handsome, refined young men.

...

Four handsome young men walked side by side, their postures straight and their auras refined. By comparison, the Three Hairs looked rather wretched.

Suddenly, Yue Longze’s gaze locked onto those four handsome youths, as if he had spotted a peerless beauty.

Noticing his odd behavior, the Three Hairs were incredulous.

"Boss... does he like men?"

Green Hair’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his mouth hanging wide open. Yellow Hair stood silently in a daze, while Red Hair convinced himself he must still be sleepy and seeing things.

...

"The system is perfect; it’s just that the precision of the device is a bit low. We just need to work a little harder!" one of the four, a youth with a center-part hairstyle, said to himself, not caring whether his three companions were listening.

"Hey, hey, look at that girl. She’s a sophomore in the French department. How about we get her to join our Alchemy Star lab?" Another youth with messy hair ignored the center-parted one completely, his mind entirely on the beautiful girl walking past.

"Don't be a fool... how could a girl from the School of Arts ever join our lab!"

...

Yue Longze’s eyes widened in shock. He had caught the conversation.

He had latched onto a key word: "Myumu."

At the same time, he took note of the youth with the center-parted hair. The face was incredibly familiar—it bore a striking resemblance to the protagonist of *Ultraman Gaia*, which he had watched in the past: Gamu Takayama!

Combined with the keyword "Myumu" he had just heard, Yue Longze deduced from these clues that this might very well be the *Ultraman Gaia* timeline!

...

"Hey, wait a moment!"

Yue Longze did not hesitate and ran straight toward the four youths.

...

"It’s over, the Boss really does like men!" Watching Yue Longze’s actions, the Three Hairs became even more convinced that their boss was gay.

...

Even with a cast on his arm, Yue Longze’s speed was unaffected, and he quickly caught up to the four.

"Please, wait!" Yue Longze shouted.

"Eh?" The four youths turned around in unison.

"Is there something you need, sir?" the youth with the center-parted hair asked, looking puzzled.

"May I ask... are you Mr. Gamu Takayama?" Yue Longze asked directly.

"Ah, yes, that’s me!" The youth was stunned for a moment before nodding.

"Are you truly one of the members of the Alchemy Star, Mr. Gamu Takayama?" Yue Longze continued to confirm. The matter was of great importance; he couldn't afford to be careless.

"Yes, I am Gamu Takayama of the Alchemy Star!"

...

Hearing the definitive confirmation, Yue Longze was finally certain that this was indeed the *Ultraman Gaia* universe.

"What a surprise... to have actually arrived in the world of *Ultraman Gaia*..." Yue Longze mused to himself.

"Excuse me, sir, what exactly do you need?" Gamu Takayama looked at Yue Longze with a perplexed expression, unable to understand how a stranger knew his name.

"Uh... well, I’ve always been quite an admirer of the Alchemy Star, so..."

Before Yue Longze could finish, one of Gamu’s companions interrupted, patting Yue Longze’s right shoulder. "It’s not so easy to become a member of the Alchemy Star, you know! Even among us, only Gamu here has been accepted!"

Yue Longze didn't bother to argue. He simply nodded along with the man's assumption to give himself an easy out. "I will definitely work hard to join the Alchemy Star!"

"Oh, come on, Gamu, let’s go! Gamu! It’s just another die-hard fan of the Alchemy Star." Gamu’s companion patted him on the back, signaling him to hurry up and not waste any more time.
