Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"never mind……"

Zhang Shan didn't explain to Genos; that kid was a bit dim-witted, and talking to him about it was a waste of time.

Saitama had arrived at the spot where the building had been before, his gaze fixed on the suspicious iron door on the ground.

With one hand gripping the door, Saitama forcefully ripped open the 20-centimeter-thick iron door, revealing a staircase leading directly underground.

“It seems this is the true gateway.” Saitama revealed a cunning smile.

"Let's go down and take a look," Zhang Shan said.

The three of them walked down the stairs one after another.

Genos walked in the middle, his gaze serious.

Saitama looked relaxed, treating the whole thing as a form of leisure and entertainment.

Knowing that Zhang Shan's strength was beginning to improve, the joy in his heart would occasionally twitch the corners of his mouth, making him show an expectant smile.

"After that guy goes bald, I'm going to give his bald head a good scrub!" Saitama thought to himself.

Suddenly, the ground shook, and a dark figure appeared between the three of them with lightning speed, slamming Genos's head into the corridor wall.

In the dim light, Zhang Shan could see what was coming.

A massive brown rhinoceros beetle, three meters tall and protected by layers of armor, came into his view.

"It really is huge," Zhang Shan said.

“Yeah, it’s huge. If it were used for bullfighting…” Saitama also expressed his thoughts, then realized what he was doing and quickly looked at Genos, whose head was smashed into the wall and whose body was in a seductive pose.

"Hey! Genos, are you alright?" Saitama asked.

"He doesn't look like he's alright at all," Zhang Shan rolled his eyes, pulled Genos out of the wall, shook him gently a couple of times, and asked, "Genius? Can you still hear me?"

Genos regained consciousness and quickly said, "Mr. Zhang Shan, my electronic interface has been restored. What just happened?"

"It's nothing, you just got knocked into the wall."

Just as the two were talking, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, who had been standing next to them, was getting impatient!

"Hey! Hey! Can you guys stop talking to yourselves? I came here with a vengeance, intending to kill you all. Can't you at least pay attention to the fact that I'm the ultimate boss? Ha!?"

Saitama stared at the rhinoceros beetle with wide, blank eyes, and asked in confusion, "You're the ultimate killer from the House of Evolution?"

Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was overjoyed that Saitama knew his name, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! That's right, I didn't expect you, a rabbit, to know my name!"

"Baldy..."

Saitama strongly dislikes being called bald; after all, the truth is the best weapon!

Immediately, Saitama clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said to Rhinoceros Beetle, "You bug, you're dead! Continuous normal punches!"

The next moment, countless red fist shadows filled Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's entire world!

boom! !

With an explosion, a sunlit road stretching straight to the sky appeared before everyone!

Chapter 261 Strength Increases Again

on the way back.

Saitama asked Zhang Shan with a puzzled look, "By the way, Zhang Shan, you said before that your strength has increased, how did it increase?"

"This is because I suddenly feel myself getting stronger again," Zhang Shan said. After he obtained the power of the Holy Lord's talisman from Zhang Shan of the Black Hand Gang, the restrictions on him seemed to disappear suddenly, and his previously stagnant strength began to grow again.

Zhang Shan didn't know the principle behind this, but increased strength was always a good thing, so he decided not to overthink it.

Back home, Zhang Shan saw his walls covered in green blood and the stench emanating from the room. He suggested, "It's still early, how about we go buy a house first?"

Saitama glanced at the sun hanging directly in the center of the sky and said with a bitter expression, "No, it's too hot right now."

Zhang Shan glanced at the sun radiating heat in the sky and sighed, "Alright, I'll squeeze in with Genos for today."

Genos said he had no objection.

"I need to go back to the doctor's to fix it today, and I'll try to be back tonight," Genos said.

Zhang Shan stayed in Genos's room, and when Genos returned in the evening, he thoughtfully brought them dinner.

The three gathered in Saitama's room and listened as Genos said, "I explained our situation to the association, and they arranged a detached villa for us, located in the neighboring city of X."

"A detached villa?!" Zhang Shan and Qi Yu were both shocked. They thought it would be good enough to move into a high-rise apartment this time, but they didn't expect to move directly into a detached villa.

“City X? There were no S-class heroes guarding it before. Are you being sent there to protect the city?” Zhang Shan’s eyes flashed with understanding, and he smiled, “From now on, Genos will also be a city guardian.”

Genos wasn't very interested in this, saying, "I just want to learn from my teacher."

Saitama's initially happy expression instantly fell; he really didn't know how to teach cyborgs.

Just as the three were having dinner, a handsome man arrived in Z City.

Before long, the handsome man appeared at Genos's door. Hearing the sounds of laughter and conversation inside, he was already somewhat satisfied.

"Despite being an S-class hero, he can still get along well with ordinary people. This time, the S-class hero is finally a normal guy."

Tuk-tuk-tuk~

There was a knock on the door, and all three of them looked at the door in confusion.

"Who is it at this hour?" Zhang Shan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Genos got up and went to open the door.

Genos and Sweet Mask meet, and they both sizing each other up.

A few seconds later, Sweet Mask revealed a warm smile and said, "Very good, you're much more normal than those guys."

"You are? Sweet Mask, the number one A-rank?" Genos looked at Sweet Mask with a puzzled expression. He had no connection with Sweet Mask at all and didn't understand why the other party would come here, especially since it seemed like he had come specifically to find him.

“It’s me.” Sweet Mask smiled. “Forgive my sudden visit. I just wanted to check out what kind of person the new S-class hero is. Seeing you puts my mind at ease.”

Genos nodded indifferently, not taking Sweet Mask seriously, after all, he was only an A-rank.

Sweet Mask didn't care about Genos's attitude. After confirming that Genos wasn't an unstable factor, Sweet Mask left directly.

As for the two people in the room, Sweet Mask didn't even look at who they were.

Genos closed the door, and Saitama asked curiously, "Genos, who was that just now?"

"It's Sweet Mask, the number one A-class hero in the Hero Association. I don't know why he came to find me, and then he left inexplicably," Genos said.

"What a strange guy."

However, none of them paid any attention to the sudden arrival of Sweet Mask; at that moment, they were all focused on their new home the next day.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhang Shan packed his few belongings and waited at the door for Saitama and Genos.

Saitama didn't have much luggage, but Genos's belongings were a bit unexpected for the two of them.

Genos carried a large bag on his back, inside which were notebooks recording Saitama's every move.

The other two boxes contained Genos' own parts and maintenance supplies.

"Let's go! I can't wait to move into our new home!" Zhang Shan shouted happily.

The three of them ran all the way and arrived at their new home before noon.

Along the way, Zhang Shan also learned about the situation in City X.

Because there are no S-class heroes stationed there, this city doesn't have many residents. At least, it can't compare to cities with S-class heroes, and its population is less than a quarter of those cities.

“After today, with Genos in charge of this city, many people will definitely move here,” Zhang Shan said.

Saitama doesn't care about this. He's a hero driven by interest, and his hobby is fighting monsters. Whether there are people in this place or not is just a matter of going a little further to buy groceries for him.

In the following days, Zhang Shan continued his daily training, indulging in the thrill of becoming stronger.

In just a few days, without using internal energy or the power of talismans, his physical strength surpassed the Tiger level and reached the Ghost level.

And it's still improving.

Zhang Shan casually crushed a strange man blocking his way, then raised his head and frowned as he looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a point of light is rushing towards the city.

"What is that?" Zhang Shan frowned, puzzled.

Meanwhile, Genos received a notification from the Hero Association.

"What? You're saying there's a massive meteorite, over two hundred meters in diameter, hurtling towards City X?" Genos's expression was one of utter shock.

Don't underestimate these two hundred meters; with the added force of gravity, this meteorite has the power to destroy the city.

"Yes, please leave that city immediately. We will arrange new accommodation for you," came the calm voice of the association member on the other end of the phone.

"And what about the people in this city?" Genos asked, frowning.

"This...you know, there's nothing we can do."

beep.

Genos hung up the phone, stood up, and said to Saitama, who was watching TV, "Teacher, I need to go out for a bit."

Saitama glanced at him, then got up and changed his clothes, putting on his yellow battle suit. With a flick of his white cape, he said, "Let's go together. We can have a meal afterward."

Upon seeing this, Genos immediately smiled.

"If the teacher were to intervene, this crisis would be easily resolved," Genos thought to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Shan had already flown high into the sky, facing the meteorite falling from the sky.

"I should be able to destroy this meteorite with my current strength." Zhang Shan's heart stirred, and his eyes emitted a golden light.

Just as he was about to make his move, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Saitama, what's up?" Zhang Shan asked.

"Zhang Shan, don't touch that meteorite. Leave it to me and Genos," Saitama said excitedly. "I think we can make a lot of money this time!"

“This…” Zhang Shan glanced at the meteorite in the sky and decisively refused, “This meteorite is not something Genos can handle. It’s easy to make things worse. You should deal with it directly.”

On the other side, Saitama, standing on the roof of a tall building, was slightly taken aback. He looked at Genos beside him and realized that Zhang Shan's words made sense.

"Genos, wait here, I'm going to smash this big rock to pieces," Saitama said.
