"In movies, such places are often the origin of conspiracies and disasters."
Through this period of time together, Daigo gradually became familiar with Lu Xuan's personality and even started joking around, which was quite rare for him.
"Moreover, those who hear these words are often silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes."
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly and corrected him noncommittally.
“There are actually many similar places on this planet, and mine is at most just one of the most insignificant ones.”
"Besides, you are far more valuable than you realize. It would be a waste to use you to silence you."
Upon hearing this, Daigo froze on the spot, unsure whether Lu Xuan was joking or genuinely meant it.
Fortunately, Lu Xuan didn't leave Daigu stunned for long before leading him through the final detection mechanism of Experiment Zone 0 and officially stepping into this super research institute built underground.
......................................................................................................
"Welcome to the real Experiment Zone 0!"
When he officially stepped into Experiment Zone 0, Daigo realized that his previous thoughts were still too superficial.
The entire Experiment Zone 0 covers only a few hundred square meters, but its interior is wrapped in layers of a special metal that is like mercury, isolating it from all external radiation and electromagnetic signals.
In the four corners of Experiment Zone 0, rows of huge servers were neatly arranged, forming an array to protect everything within Experiment Zone 0 from a data perspective.
At first glance, various professional research equipment filled almost every corner of Experiment Zone 0, giving it a clean and orderly feel that was full of science fiction.
"then!"
Just as Daigo was stunned, Lu Xuan suddenly threw a palm-sized piece of mechanical equipment at him.
"what is this?"
Instinctively reaching out to take the device, Daigo looked in the direction Lu Xuan was looking.
Only then did I notice that at the entrance to Experiment Zone 0, there was a display case-like area, showcasing various items that were clearly high-tech products.
"The high-fiber nanomaterial generator is specifically designed to protect a hothead like you."
"Of course, according to your Earthly customs, you can also think of it as a kind of special 'protective suit'."
After entering Experiment Zone 0, Lu Xuan canceled the disguised projection of the force field generator and reverted to the appearance of a ten-year-old child.
How do I use this?
Staring blankly at Lu Xuan who had turned into a child, Daigo, who still couldn't get used to it no matter how many times he saw it, asked in a low voice.
"Just stick it to your chest and press the middle button."
According to Lu Xuan, Daigu pressed the so-called "high-fiber nanomaterial generator" against his chest.
The next second, countless fine polymer fibers emerged from it, quickly decomposing and transforming all of Daigo's clothes into the same material.
By the time Daigo came to his senses, the "high-fiber nanomaterial generator" had transformed into a black bodysuit that perfectly fit his body.
Apart from the silver-white metallic coating protecting the joints and vital areas, the entire bodysuit is black.
"This feeling... is a bit strange?"
He didn't feel anything unusual; Daigo felt as if he simply had an extra layer of more sensitive skin.
A gentle breeze, heat, sunlight, and even those invisible radiations and electromagnetic waves...
Today, the ancient capital can be clearly felt, and the feeling is far more real than that on real skin.
The only thing I'm not quite used to is that this feeling is just too real.
This has led Daigo to have the illusion that he is not wearing anything at all, as if he is running naked.
Chapter 29 The Black Pyramid
"It seems like you're adapting quite well."
Seeing that Daigo had finished dressing, Lu Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
All the facilities and equipment in Experiment Zone 0 were custom-made by Lu Xuan for himself, so there is virtually no possibility of them being pirated.
Therefore, Lu Xuan was also curious about Daigo's specific experience as the first "outsider" to use these devices.
"The material that makes up this bodysuit is an organic material called 'polymer fiber,' which basically does not isolate the user's senses like ordinary clothing."
"So after you put on this bodysuit, you'll have the illusion that you're not wearing anything at all."
"But it's a minor issue; you'll get used to it quickly and it won't have much of an impact."
As Lu Xuan said, Daigo discovered after a brief period of adjustment.
Aside from the initial sense of shame, the feeling this bodysuit gave me was indeed much stronger than that of normal clothing.
Daigo also noticed that the bodysuit was far more durable than he had imagined.
No matter how much she pulled, the surface of the bodysuit didn't even develop the slightest wrinkle.
The silver-white paint on the joints and vital parts is indistinguishable from metal, yet it retains the flexibility of the fibrous material.
"With the protection of this bodysuit, you should now be able to defend against ordinary sharp weapon injuries."
"However, due to its material, this bodysuit offers slightly less protection against impacts."
"You can think of it simply as this bodysuit helping you become immune to sword and blade damage, but it doesn't offer much protection against blunt weapons."
Daigo nodded knowingly; he had now fully accepted his new identity.
Regardless of what aspect of his talent Lu Xuan valued, the other party's preparations and protective measures were indeed very thorough.
"Do you remember what I told you at the beginning?"
"I brought you to Experiment Zone 0 because there's a job for you."
After confirming that Daigo had adapted to the performance of the bodysuit, Lu Xuan slowly began to explain.
"Now let me tell you about the specific job duties!"
......................................................................................................
As Lu Xuan recounted the story bit by bit, Daigu finally understood the whole story.
At the outset, Galvin Corporation reached an agreement with the local government of Kumamoto City.
Galvin is actively promoting new energy development in Kumamoto City, providing sufficient jobs for the local community and ensuring the city's continued economic growth for some time to come.
In return, Kumamoto City not only had to provide Gailwin with various preferential policies and give it the green light, but also had to allocate a piece of land for it to build a new energy power plant.
Logically speaking, this is a mutually beneficial agreement, which is very attractive and beneficial to both parties.
However, it wasn't until Galvin Corporation moved into Kumamoto City that they discovered a huge problem with the land allocated to them.
The original owners of that land were the Ainu people, one of the earliest indigenous ethnic groups in Japan.
They have their own culture and religion, and they do not approve of Gailvin Corporation building a new energy power plant on their land.
Left with no other choice, in order to establish a new energy power plant as soon as possible, Galvin Company had to resume negotiations with the Ainu people and the Kumamoto City government.
Ultimately, the Ainu people agreed to the construction of the new energy power plant, while Gailvin Company had to pay an additional resettlement fee.
If that were all, Lu Xuan would accept it; after all, money could solve the problem, so it wasn't a problem for him.
The key issue is that Gailwin only realized why the Ainu people initially insisted on not developing or building on this land after the new energy power plant was built.
Because beneath that land lies a secret temple known only to the true Ainu people.
"It was a black pyramid, a black pyramid that almost completely isolated itself from the world."
As Lu Xuan described the pyramid, a memorable scene from his previous life's "Ultraman Tiga" involuntarily surfaced in his mind—Evil Tiga.
Lu Xuan couldn't remember the specific plot details anymore.
He only vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a story about a genius scientist who replicated the plot of "Daigo becoming light" and then turned himself into an evil giant.
"A black pyramid?"
With a dazed look in his eyes, Daigo had never seen that black pyramid before, yet an image of a pyramid involuntarily appeared in his mind.
The scene was so real, so lifelike, as if I had actually seen it before.
"And then what happened? What became of that temple?"
With a hint of nervousness that he himself didn't know why, Daigo couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing much happened. I sealed off that area afterwards."
Having anticipated this, Lu Xuan naturally couldn't ignore Daigu's unusual behavior and calmly reassured him.
“It’s impossible for anyone else besides me and the Ainu people to know about the existence of the Black Pyramid.”
When the black pyramid was first discovered, Lu Xuan naturally contacted the Ainu people immediately to negotiate and try to find out the origin of the black pyramid.
Unfortunately, the Ainu people changed their attitude at this point and completely denied knowing about the existence of the Black Pyramid.
Left with no other choice, Lu Xuan, not wanting to cause any further trouble, had to find a solution himself.
Just then, Daigo unexpectedly came to his door.
With the "protagonist's halo" delivered to his doorstep, Lu Xuan thought he might as well take advantage of it, which led to what happened next.
In fact, Lu Xuan wasn't sure if Daigo's "protagonist halo" would be useful to the Black Pyramid.
He wasn't even sure if there were giant stone statues similar to Ultraman Tiga inside the black pyramid.
The only thing Lu Xuan was certain of was that he would never let go of such a free "opportunity".
Lu Xuan had already awakened the superpower to manipulate light particles when he transformed into human form using the Omnitrix watch.
This powerful superpower can even gather a massive amount of light particles in a short period of time, allowing Lu Xuan to transform into the form of a "giant of light".
Theoretically speaking, as long as Lu Xuan can occupy a giant statue, he will most likely be able to revive it just like he revived Ultraman Tiga.
Given these conditions, Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by.
Chapter 30 Zero-Type Drive (It's been recommended, so I'm adding an extra chapter to show my support!)
"Our current mission is to explore that black pyramid and uncover the secrets hidden within."
In fact, Lu Xuan originally planned to steal one of the three giant stone statues inside the Tiga Pyramid.
It would be even better if we could snag the statue of Ultraman Tiga beforehand.
But now that the Black Pyramid is a better option, Lu Xuan naturally chooses to abandon his original plan.
After all, Tiga is the "protagonist" of this world, so there's a high probability that he won't be able to get his hands on him.
As for the other two giant stone statues?
The chances of being cannon fodder are very high, and even if you manage to grab one, it's not worth it.
Only this evil Tiga has a glorious record of fighting against Tiga in the main series. Even if it is weakened, it should not be too weak, right?
However, the biggest problem for those who want to get their hands on the statue of Evil Tiga is how to get into that black pyramid.
And are there really giant stone statues inside that black pyramid?
"Uncovering the secrets within the Black Pyramid?"
They had no idea about Lu Xuan's original plans and ideas.
At this moment, Daigo was just repeating his words over and over, his expression still somewhat dazed.
Fortunately, this sense of déjà vu no longer affected his thinking; instead, it made him more acutely aware of certain "flaws" in Lu Xuan's words.
"If our mission is to uncover the secrets of that black pyramid, then why did you bring me here?"
According to Lu Xuan, the black pyramid should now be located below the new energy power plant built by the Galvin Corporation, not below the Galvin Corporation headquarters building.
So why did Lu Xuan go to such lengths, following him to Experiment Zone 0?
It can't be just for the sake of giving yourself a set of "work clothes" to protect you from sharp objects, right?
"Because that black pyramid is hidden beneath the earth..."
"To avoid alerting other unrelated people, I did not carry out large-scale excavation."
Daigo felt that Lu Xuan's idea was a bit too cautious, but upon closer examination, it did seem to make some sense.
After all, it is a mysterious ruin that has never appeared in any books, so it is always good to be cautious.
