What?Altman is tenured?

Chapter 590: Zero and Belia (VII)

No matter what Cerro has experienced, the sun will always rise as usual. However, Cerro knows in his heart that he should make some changes today. Maybe what Joe said is right. He should find some work that can provide better help to everyone besides raising cattle.

But is this kind of thing so simple? He did not intend to leave the farm, because such behavior was the same as desertion in Cero's eyes. However, Cero did not understand everything related to the farm.
As a soldier, he knew the importance of professionalism, just like you can train a person to be a soldier in a short period of time, but you can't train a person to be a commander in a short period of time. He can learn how to raise animals through his own studies, but he can't really understand the production laws of agriculture and animal husbandry better than those who were born and raised here.
Everyone on this farm, except for Sero, has been dealing with the farm since birth. Even their ancestors have been staying here for generations and have been dealing with food from ancient times to the present.

Perhaps times have changed, and today’s agricultural culture is no longer the same as that of their ancestors. Even the experience passed down by their ancestors is no longer up to date. However, the symbiotic relationship with farmland, animals, and life is ingrained in them and remains in their DNA.

Just as Zero, as a member of the Ultraman clan, is naturally resonant with light, those who grew up here also seem to be naturally resonant with the land.

Realizing that he could not make any contribution to agriculture and animal husbandry, Cero was not discouraged. This was normal, and he felt that he could settle for the next best thing and become a member of the commercialization of food exchange between farms and cities.
He felt that he was "cultured" after all. Even if he was at the level of a street urchin in the Kingdom of Light, he could be considered an expert in economics here, and his knowledge was very broad.

But unfortunately, there is no need for experts in coordination and sales here. What they need more are those who are willing to quarrel with others for the interests of the farm, or even make private transactions.

Only those who are willing to gain benefits for the farm will really need it. This requires that this person must understand how to sacrifice his face for others, be able to argue for others, be able to throw tantrums for others, and be able to compromise for others.

In short, you need to put the interests of all farm owners above your own, so that you can become the person responsible for the exchange of those products.

It's not that Zero is unable to put everyone's interests first, but he just proposed it and everyone refused.
Because compared to them, Cerro is too educated, and people who are too educated will suffer great losses when they trade with city dwellers on behalf of the farm, or even when they trade with other farms.

However, after learning that Zero wanted to do more for everyone, everyone finally showed an expression of "this guy is finally leaving".

He tried very hard to find some other jobs for Cero, and even directly contacted Joe, who was in charge of personnel transfers, to find Cero a job distributing farm food to hospitals, orphanages and nursing homes.
But it wasn't like he was completely responsible from the beginning. Everyone was still cautious and decided to let Zero start with transportation.
That is, first be a airship pilot for a few days to get familiar with what the job involves.

As Zero drove his airship carrying food from the farm towards the city, he suddenly remembered his uncle Ace, with whom he had just spoken on the phone not long ago.
In a sense, this can be considered as them becoming colleagues, right?
However, Zero did not do this kind of work for too long, because he was too kind, so whenever he saw those poor people, he would subconsciously give them more food.
Food was not sufficient after the war. Even though the food rations given to these people were much larger than those given to ordinary people, the way Cero divided the food always caused some disputes.
After discovering this, Zero wanted to change the distribution method, but it was too late. Those poor orphans, patients and the elderly had already discovered that Zero was a kind-hearted person.
Under the instinct of survival, everyone wants to get more food. You know, even if Zero has made up his mind to change the way of distribution, there is no real fairness in food.
Is the meat fatter or leaner? Is the proportion of staple food in the grain higher or lower? Are the fruits and vegetables fresh or not?
Zero simply couldn't suppress his sympathy that surged from time to time, which meant that everyone had the possibility of taking more from him.
Because of the existence of distributors like Cerro, everyone will feel that others are taking advantage, so conflict is inevitable.

Finally, neither the farm staff nor Joe were willing to let Cero continue to do this job.

In fact, everyone was somewhat thankful that they chose to let the young man Zero do an internship first instead of letting him start working directly. Otherwise, the children in the orphanage and the elderly in the nursing home might have fought.
However, if people really have kind hearts, they have actually tried to let Zero go directly to the hospital to participate in nursing-related work. After all, a cultured and kind person is very suitable for this job no matter how you look at it.

But the problem is that there are Silver Crusaders in the medical system, and there are also mobile Silver Crusaders medical teams that provide free medical services on various planets. Under such circumstances, Zero's existence is basically seen through at a glance.
Those girls from the Silver Crusaders were just not good at fighting, not that they didn't have any talent for light particles.
In their eyes, Zero is not Zero at all, he is just a person who is full of "energy" but pretends to be sick.
Basically, Sero had to explain several times every day, and after explaining, he was forced to stay by the medical staff and used as a power bank by them.
Although Zero was not opposed to saving people, this was not his purpose. After thinking about it, he transferred 90% of the light particles in his body to the girls of the Silver Crusaders, and then left the medical system again.

However, after all this, the medical staff of the Silver Crusaders came up with a suitable job for Zero, which was to allocate and manage the security forces of several nearby planets. He would be responsible for protecting the medical facilities of the Silver Crusaders as well as the spacecraft traveling on various routes of these planets.

The militia is something like civilians in front and soldiers in the back. They are not professional soldiers. In fact, they are ordinary people such as workers and farmers. Managing and training them does not completely violate Zero's original intention. Although some of them are not in line with Zero's own wishes, he also understands that this is the best choice.
As a wounded and educated soldier, it is not too out of touch with the masses to go through training and understand this, right?
Of course, the most important thing is that Zero also realized that he does not have much conditions to work hard in other fields. In comparison, finding a direction to integrate into everyone is also a helpless solution.

This was not a difficult job to get. In fact, after Zero told Joe about his idea, he was soon appointed as the chief instructor of the militia. After all, as I said before, he was educated, had ideals, had experienced war, and was recommended by the Silver Crusaders.

As the war with the Interstellar Alliance has recently intensified, the Revolutionary Army has actually been short of manpower for a long time. After taking office, Zero directly took over the task of training the militia.

This should be very simple, just training some people to acquire simple combat skills. His father was the chief instructor of the Space Guard after Ultra Father, and he has trained so many new generations, so he is very capable of training newcomers.

Zero thought so, he should be able to show his skills this time, right? Although he didn't plan to go to the front line, but at least he could do it, get along with all the soldiers, and then lead everyone to become stronger slowly, right?
But the facts proved that Zero was thinking too simply. Training itself is not simple, and things outside of training are far more difficult than training itself.

First of all, these people are not actually professional soldiers, which means that they still have their own jobs to do, that is to say, they are all part-time.

Some people felt that there was no need to continue training. When they joined the militia, they joined with hatred and passion for the Interstellar Alliance. Now that the Interstellar Alliance has been driven away, they naturally do not need to continue training.

Some people have too many things to do at home, rain or shine, so whenever there is something, they will apply for leave. Their reason is family, and the logic that family is above training is irrefutable, because... The reason they overthrew the Interstellar Alliance is because the people in the Interstellar Alliance don't care about the lives of ordinary people for their own sake.

Moreover, because it is a joint militia group composed of multiple planets, it is very difficult to dispatch. This is different from the Kingdom of Light in Zero's memory, and even different from the Earth.

No one had any objection to the medical staff escorting the Silver Crusaders, but after that, because of the different styles of different planets and civilizations, some civilizations would leave early, while others would choose to rest where they were.
Moreover, on the one hand, this guy Zero was airborne, and on the other hand, he didn't look like a particularly fierce person. For such a person, everyone naturally has their own set of standards for behavior, such as passive resistance.

Although facing such a situation, in fact, Zero also knew what to do, and he did it, that is to use his fists to show them how strong he is. But you have to know that he had just transferred his body's ability to the medical staff of the Silver Crusaders not long ago. Now he had accumulated some with great difficulty, but it was almost consumed again.

After only a few days in office, Ultraman Zero felt that he missed Zeta very much. At least if that guy did something wrong, he could still beat him up. Moreover, the Kingdom of Light would never have those messy things that would make everyone trapped by trivial matters in addition to normal training.

This is how ordinary people's lives are. When it comes to hard work, everyone knows that hard work is right, but the messy things that appear from time to time always force you to interrupt your efforts. No matter how you avoid them, these things will appear the same.

Everyone knows that if you concentrate on one thing, you will definitely get a huge improvement, but energy is limited. If you invest a little in trivial things, you will have less time for important things.
What’s even more terrifying is that to ordinary people, all trivial things are important.

Some people may say that more energy can be squeezed out by willpower, but in fact, unlimited energy is not something that ordinary people possess. To put it more extremely, being able to have a lot of energy and still study and work energetically without sleeping is itself a talent, a talent that ordinary people do not possess.

Life is a mess. This sentence is simple, but only those who are in the mess can feel that any piece of hemp rope may be the trap that strangles themselves.

After living with the militia for a while, Zero realized that the real reason why ordinary people couldn't have the energy to work hard might be something other than talent.

For example, the life of ordinary people is monotonous but exhausts the passion in their hearts.

The people of the Land of Light have ideals, aspirations, and the courage to fight, and they are fearless. However, this may not be because the people of the Land of Light are so excellent, but it may just be because, behind all the people of the Land of Light, there is a miraculous system that allows everyone to work hard without any worries. When Zero fought in the universe as a warrior, he actually didn't quite understand why there were so many people in this world who had no ideals, lived in a muddle, and had no courage to fight against darkness.

But when he became one of these people, he found that these people had to fight against so many things. They had to fight against the people around them, against work, against nature, against the troubles in their families, and sometimes even against their own humanity.
When a person has used up all his energy to fight these things, how can he possibly consider fighting against the darkness?

What made Zero feel even more overwhelmed was that he found that in such a world, the more so-called "good people" were, the easier it seemed to be to be "bullied".
They are kind, they are optimistic, they love to help others, they are willing to give more, but they are unwilling to get more, or rather, they are ashamed to get more.

Zero suddenly understood what Belia, who was controlled by the Absolut clan, had said to him a long time ago.

He had some irrefutable remarks at the time, such as the so-called Kingdom of Light should sacrifice itself and create more super soldiers to let them completely protect the world.

Now, Zero felt that he could refute Belia. He felt that he had at least figured out one thing, that is, the super soldiers created in this way were not the super soldiers of the Land of Light. They had lost their ideals and were just strong men like any lucky person in the universe, but they were no longer people of the Land of Light.

Because an idealist would never think of becoming a super soldier by sacrificing others.

Or, to go further, Zero also thought of the entire Kingdom of Light.

The Kingdom of Light always hopes to build a universal peace system in the universe, and then hope that countless "good people" can become the leaders of this system, and then lead the entire system to become better and better.
But the problem is that good people don’t actually like to be leaders. In most cases, good people prefer to be ordinary people.

Zero felt that he had gotten what he wanted, but his instinct told him that maybe it was not enough, at least not completely enough.
He may have learned some, but there may be more to learn.

A few days passed like this, and finally, with his own personal example and fighting skills, the militia organization gradually became more disciplined. While waiting for the militia to complete the escort mission on the spaceship, Zero met a familiar person.

A man who looked like Ultraman but was dressed in black with black claws was scratching his head with interest. Zero was stunned for a moment, then silently changed the direction of the spaceship.

Seeing Zero change direction, Belial stopped pretending and entered the spaceship like a meteor. Zero wanted to dodge, but he had little energy left, so there was no way he could hide better than Belial in his full state.

"I was wondering why someone reported to me that a guy who was very good at training militia appeared here, and in a short period of time, the militia had a bit of the flavor of a regular army. It turned out to be you."

Zero looked at Belia and said helplessly, "Old Belia, do you have any extra clean energy? Or even unclean energy? Send some to me. I'm a little tired."

Belia was stunned for a moment, and he waved his claws in front of Zero's face, "Do you understand what you are saying? Are you sure we haven't seen each other for only a dozen days, not hundreds of thousands of years?"

"I say! Do you have any extra energy? I need energy to train soldiers! I need energy to enable the Silver Crusaders to save more people! It would be even better if you could find me a set of the most advanced energy systems and place them on every planet. Then I won't have so many worries!!!"

Belia clenched his fist, then extended his index finger and poked Zero's face, then said in a complicated tone, "Aren't you afraid that my energy will corrupt you? You should know that I have only become a better person in your eyes. In fact, I still have the soul of Rebrando in my body!"

Zero was too lazy to pay attention to Belia. All kinds of trivial matters had already annoyed him enough. Now, even if it was Belia from Absolut in front of him, he would not have much interest, let alone the Belia in front of him, who was from his own camp.

"I told you, I don't want to bother with you. If you have nothing to do, go do whatever you need to do."

But at this moment, suddenly, a surge of energy entered his body. Belia put his hand on his shoulder without knowing when, and a strange smile appeared on his face. "Cero, you seem to think you understand a lot? Answer me, do you think you have understood it?!"

Zero took a deep breath and was about to convert the energy sent by Belia into light particles. Then he was surprised to find a horrifying fact. He turned his head and looked at Belia, "How is it possible? Why is there so much sound mixed in the energy you sent? It's like..."

"It's just like the most boring life you feel in the world of ordinary people, right?" Belia laughed. He looked at Zero and asked, "The memory fragments in Rebrando's soul that are billions of years old are constantly repeating in my mind like resentment."

"Surprising, right? You must think that Rebrando's soul must be filled with the most vicious hatred, but in fact it is not. These trivial things, these resentments in the dark, are actually what occupy the most of his soul!"

Belia looked at Zero. He felt that Zero must have seen and learned a lot recently. However, that was why he found it funny.

"You haven't discovered it yet, have you? As a citizen of the Land of Light, have you really not realized it yet?"

"Is the darkness you say you want to defeat really just darkness? Ahahahaha. No!! Even if you have seen that thing, you don't realize it at all. This is what makes me think the Ultra Spirit is ridiculous.
Those trivial, insignificant, nightmare-like complaints in everyone's heart, which seem to be caused by just a quarrel, a job that is not going well, or even a heavy rain or a fall, may be the embryonic form of darkness! ! "

"In this universe, everyone may unknowingly walk into darkness because of any insignificant thing! In such a world, how could the kind of world you imagine exist!!!"

Zero looked at the crazy Belia, who kept pointing at him with his claws and talking loudly while trembling. He suddenly felt that this guy was quite pitiful. Although he had been cured by Castor, this was probably one of those diseases that would make you drool even after being cured.

Basically, it is impossible to recover completely.

"I know what you said, although not as clearly as you think, but I know it, so what?" Zero looked at Belia without any concessions, "The ideal of the Kingdom of Light may never be achieved, but does it matter? As long as we are still working hard, then even if it can't become the best, at least the universe is getting better, right?"

Hearing what Zero said, Belia was stunned for a moment, then he leaned his head close to Zero, almost face to face, looking him up and down. After a while, he said, "So this is what you think. I understand. So you and Ken both think this way!"
