Across Ultra: Half Dream

Chapter 108 "New Weapons"

"Ah!! Brother Ling!! I don't want to write!!" Chloe looked at Cerro with a sad face and eager eyes.

Zero lowered his head dejectedly, "I don't want to write either. I hate writing reports and self-criticisms the most!"

“…” The two little ones fell silent.

After a while, although he was reluctant, he still sat down on the sofa obediently, took out the screen and started writing the self-criticism.

Chloe sighed as she wrote, and kept muttering, "How should I write this... expand this sentence... um... write it a little more tragically..."

And Zero had a sullen face and looked at the light screen as if he was an enemy, and there seemed to be a black air behind him.

When Ace came back after processing the documents, the two little ones were still scratching their heads and writing their self-criticisms, with a look of bitterness and resentment on their faces.

Ace sat aside and looked at the two Aos with amusement, "Why, forget about Zero, but even Xiao Yi is so difficult to write?"

"Ah~ Daddy, you can't say that..." Chloe collapsed on the sofa weakly. "Reviewing isn't scientific research. It's not fun at all! Besides, Uncle Zoffy is too much! This is the seventh time I've been beaten back!!!"

Ace asked with a smile in his eyes, "What about you, Zero?"

Zero pursed his lips and stared at the light screen in front of him and didn't want to speak.

Chloe glanced at Cero's helpless explanation, "Brother Ling has been beaten back for the twelfth time..."

Ace almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Chloe's lifeless look. He stood up and took Zero's light screen to see what Zero had written.

"I was wrong! I reflect on myself! I shouldn't have rushed into a fight without waiting for everyone! But I still have confidence in my own strength! A small group of monsters is no problem! They still need 20,000 years to defeat me! Give me a little more time, and I can destroy them all! So..."

After reading Zero's self-reflection, Ace suddenly felt as vexed as Zoffy. Throughout the entire story, it wasn't really a self-reflection, but rather a compliment to his own combat prowess and a disdain for the power of the monsters. It was hard to see Zero truly reflecting on his mistakes.

"..." Ace shook his head, returned the light screen to Cero and reminded him, "Cero, you should make some more changes. After all, this is a review of your mistakes..."

For the first time, Zero felt so helpless. The rage in his eyes seemed to burst out. His fingers gripped the light screen tightly, and it felt like he was about to break it in the next moment.

"Brother Ling... I'll help you later..." Chloe said helplessly, covering her face.

The next moment, Chloe stared at the light screen, looking at the message sent by Zoffy in surprise, "Ah!!! I passed!! Finally passed!! No need to write anymore!!! Daddy!!" Chloe was so happy that she hugged Ace and was extremely happy.

Soon, Chloe felt a resentment that was about to materialize behind her. She quickly turned around and picked up the light screen that was about to be broken by Zero. "Ah, Brother Ling, I want to eat bread. Can you and Daddy make it for me?"

As he said that, he sat on the sofa beside him and began to revise Zero's review, with a look of pain on his face.

Ace shook his head and patted Sero who was staring at Chloe in a daze. "Come on, help me. I will teach you how to make Xiaoyi's favorite bread."

Zero's eyes flashed, he nodded, and followed Ace into the kitchen to learn how to make bread.

Chloe felt more and more miserable as she corrected herself. She felt like half of her brain cells were dying. "Oh my God, Brother Ling's self-criticism... No wonder Uncle Zoffy called back thirteen times..."

That’s right, just now when Cero saw Chloe hand it in, he hurried to hand it in too, but was beaten back again.

On the other side, Ace felt relieved when he saw Zero seriously learning how to make bread.

But when he saw the finished product, Ace was stunned for a few seconds, and twitched his mouth. "Cero, are you sure... all the steps are correct?" Cero frowned and touched his chin, looking at the bread with sparks in the oven, puzzled. "Emmm, Uncle Ace, I did do it according to what you said... right?"

"Oh, that's not right..." Ace smelled the burning smell and shook his head. "You set the temperature too high. Try again."

Zero nodded silently, took out another dough and put it into the oven, pressing it according to the temperature Ace said.

After a moment's quiet waiting, the bread was toasted with a ding sound. Sero quickly brought it out, and Ace carefully inspected it, finding it was not burnt this time, and it was intact and had the normal aroma.

Ace nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, now you can cut the bread. Here, use this kitchen knife."

Then, Zero picked up a kitchen knife and chopped at the bread, but the next moment... the knife not only failed to cut the bread, but it also broke...

Ace looked in shock at the knife that had accompanied him for tens of thousands of years but was now broken by a piece of bread, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

After trying to calm down, I said, "It's okay..."

Zero pouted, looking disgusted. "What kind of knife is this? It's so blunt." He picked up another knife casually. As a result, there was another ding sound, and this knife... also broke...

Zero looked at Ace awkwardly and at a loss, "Um... I... hehe..."

Ace took a deep breath and gave a stiff smile, "Hehehe... It's okay... It's okay, just a small problem."

Zero had no choice but to nod, and when he was about to pick up the last knife to continue cutting, he was quickly stopped by Ace. "Hey, hey, hey, stop slashing at my knife. This is my last knife, a knife that has been with me for tens of thousands of years..."

Ace pushed Cero away and took out the Ace Blade to cut the bread. Cero looked at him in shock. With a "duang" sound, the edge of the Ace Blade curled up, and the bread didn't even break the crust. Now the two of them were completely silent...

After a while, Ace broke the awkward atmosphere. Under the dazzling light of Zero's eyes, he took out the Eight-Point Light Wheel and sawed at the bread on the chopping board.

Amidst a burst of dazzling sparks, there was a "crack." The two Aos looked over expectantly, but saw that the bread was still unchanged.

Just when the two O's were wondering, suddenly, the eight-point light wheel in Ace's hand shattered like glass, and then turned into light particles and disappeared...

At this moment, Ace felt an unprecedented sense of suffocation coming towards him. His lips trembled for a long time before he found his voice. "...You...are exactly like your father..."

"..." After hearing what Ace said, Zero understood it immediately. He just scratched his head and didn't want to say anything. Now Zero just felt that he had suffered a serious blow.

Ace didn't want to endure the stimulation anymore, so he quickly drove Zero out. "Alright, alright, you go out, I'll do it."

Zero walked out of the kitchen in silence, still holding the piece of bread that even the Eight-Point Light Wheel couldn't cut, and sat down next to Chloe.

Chloe felt the sofa sag and turned to look at Sero. "What's wrong, Brother Ling? Why do you look so depressed? What happened?"

Zero said nothing and showed the bread in his hand to Chloe. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Chloe snatch it away and praised it, "Brother Ling, did you make this? Not bad! It smells good! Let me try it!"

"Hey! Don't..." Before Sero could stop her, he saw Chloe stuffing the bread into her mouth.

The next second, Chloe quickly spat out the bread, "Ahhh!!! What kind of bread is this!! Ugh!! My teeth almost fell out!!"

Chloe felt that what she was biting was not bread, but a piece of star steel, extremely hard.

Ace, who heard the sound, came out quickly. "What's wrong? Xiao Yi? What happened?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Chloe quickly hid the bread behind her and replied while shaking her head.

Ace looked at the two of them in confusion, and after not seeing anything, he turned back to the kitchen and continued making bread.

"Wow, Brother Ling, this is amazing. This bread can be used as a weapon!" Chloe exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the bread in her hand.

Zero had a complicated expression on his face. "Then I'll give it to you."

"Okay!" Chloe smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. After stuffing the "new weapon" into her bracelet, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what happened just now? I heard a few sounds like something was broken."

Cero glanced at Chloe, and remembered the embarrassing thing that just happened. The tail of the dart on his head suddenly turned a faint pink. After hesitating for a while, he still said it.

"Pfft...hahahahahaha..." Chloe laughed so hard that she fell over on the sofa. "Brother Ling, you really should go to the Science and Technology Bureau to help."

[I'll find time to try the power of this bread. ]

Sero snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.

"Pfft...Brother Ling, but you are also amazing." Chloe barely held back, but her words were still spoken with a smile, which made Zero's whole body stiffen and his face became even more embarrassed and angry.

Cero gritted his teeth and looked at Chloe, "Xiao Yi! Stop laughing!"

When Chloe heard Cero's voice, she knew that if she continued laughing, the rabbit would get angry and difficult to coax, so she stopped immediately.

Chloe narrowed her eyes with a smile and stuffed the light screen into Zero's hand. "Here, Brother Ling, your self-criticism has been approved by Uncle Zoffy."

"Huh... I finally don't have to write this damn review!" When Zero saw the reply, his mood instantly turned from gloomy to cheerful.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy." Ace came out of the kitchen with a cake and looked at the two Aos curiously.

"Nothing." Chloe shook her head. "By the way, Daddy, I want to go out for a while."

"Where are you going?" Ace looked at Chloe nervously. "Do you need me to come with you?"

Chloe shook her head. "No need, Daddy! Rei-san will come with me! And I'll go find Taiga-san soon. The three of us will go together!"

Thinking of the good Taiga, Ace nodded and agreed, "Okay, be careful and go back early."

"Uncle Ace, I will protect Xiao Yi, don't worry." Zero proudly made a "yeah" gesture and promised, "If anyone wants to hurt Xiao Yi, it will take 20,000 years."

"...I'm worried because of you..." Ace sighed inwardly, "Alright, go ahead. If you're in danger, contact us immediately. Don't be reckless!"

"Yes!" Chloe/Cero.

With that, the two Aos went out to find Taiga.

After a while, Liang Ao arrived at Taylor's office.

Chloe sat on the sofa and looked at the busy Taro. "Uncle Taro, do you know where Taiga is?"

"Taiga? He should be at the Ultra Training Ground." Taro thought for a moment and looked up at the two Ultramen curiously. "What do you two want to do with him?"
