A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

What a bad person!

……

after dinner.

Saitama saw a news report on the disaster channel about a roving bounty hunter in Z-City, and immediately took Genos out.

The reason given was to engage in heroic activities and, incidentally, aid digestion.

It's definitely not about capturing a bounty hunter to get the bounty!

He realized that if he didn't exhaust Genos's energy during the day, he wouldn't get any good juice at night!

However, Saitama overlooked an important issue: cyborgs are not huskies; they are not necessarily active during the day and rest at night.

Genos (serious face): I already told you, teacher!

Since the master and apprentice rarely had the opportunity to work together, Qiao Sen naturally wouldn't disturb their time together and decisively offered to stay and watch the house.

"Keep it up, Genos!"

Before the two left, he called out to the cyborg boy who was about to go out and gave Genos a thumbs up.

"Strive to make your teacher look at you in a new light."

Genos was taken aback. The most innocent cyborg teenagers often only need the simplest motivational quotes to get their blood pumping.

Upon hearing Johnson's sudden encouragement, every part of Genos seemed to be filled with enthusiasm.

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson! I will do my best!!"

Saitama, who was walking ahead and had already gone downstairs, suddenly felt a chill.

"Hiss—I have a feeling this trip won't go smoothly... Is it because the hallway is too cold and damp?"

……

As the master and apprentice left in a flurry, Saitama's apartment fell silent.

F-zai emerged from Qiaosen's body. The original body and the stand-in exchanged glances, preparing to hold a small meeting to review the resources they had recently accumulated.

The first thing to focus on is naturally the progress of collecting the fragment cards.

Thanks to Saitama's recent rate of hair loss... no, rate of getting stronger, although the fusion material requirement for the next "Limiter Break" card continues to be super doubled as before, the fragment cards often drop in groups of several at a time.

Therefore, the collection progress of the fragment cards has reached about 70%.

At this rate, I should be able to get another boost before the end of the month... Well, with a little effort, I might even have a considerable surplus.

Having received Azu's superpower gift package in the Black Robe World, Johnson's strength has now reached the "Ancestor" level. In the two-dimensional version, he would at least be a Superman. This effort might be the only difference between him and the original Superman.

But Johnson wasn't in a hurry. His base strength was already sufficient for the time being, and he could continue to use various fantasy cards to improve it.

In that case, it would be better to manage one's own useless stand-ins.

As a humanoid stand-in, Speed ​​C is stuck for over a hundred chapters, and even playing Ora is stumbling. If he were to encounter the invincible Star Platinum, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage from the start?

Please save the child!

F-Zai: ...Are you going to curse me again?

After reviewing the fragment cards, what remains are some monster cards collected recently, as well as the card draws gained naturally and from kills.

Since returning to the One-Punch Man world, there haven't been any major incidents. Among the monsters that Johnson has encountered, the one who holds the top spot is the dutiful and top-notch coach, Rhinoceros Beetle. The rest have all been turned into enhancement materials and added to the attribute foundation of his main body.

Speaking of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, its greatest contribution was helping King break through the "magnetic field rotation".

Now, he can basically be considered to have successfully retired.

However, this guy has an eccentric personality and is incorrigible. Every time he is reborn, he always thinks about escaping from prison to slaughter humans and destroy the world. He has only failed because he has encountered the only two cheaters in the world at this stage.

Having no awareness whatsoever of being a prisoner, Johnson naturally had no intention of keeping this ticking time bomb as a pet monster at home.

Since King no longer needs a Dragon-level monster as a sparring partner, it's natural to squeeze every last drop of value out of this SSR monster card.

Besides their shared talent in housekeeping, F-zai, like Genos, is also a decisive person who keeps his word.

Just a second after making his decision, Johnson took a glittering gold card from his skirt armor. The Asura rhinoceros beetle on the card had an expression of extreme terror on its face.

No!

Unfortunately, not a single howl escaped its lips. With F-zai's violent single push, the golden fantasy card shattered and transformed into a massive amount of attribute points that merged into Qiao Sen's body.

It was an SSR after all, which gave Qiao Sen the long-lost feeling of a surge in stats.

Strength +100, +100, +100...

[Constitution +100, +100, +100...]

Speed ​​+100, +100, +100...

With his current attribute base, it has improved, but not by much.

The total number is roughly equivalent to 0.1 Azu.

After receiving the final payment for Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, Qiao Sen couldn't help but think of the phone call King had made that morning.

According to him, the M City Hero Association branch has contacted him, and the city's S-class recommendation plan, which was originally formulated, has been officially put on the agenda.

This is also because more and more heroes have been promoted to S-class recently, such as "Metal Knight" and his former assistant whom he recommended to join, the genius boy "Child Emperor", and "Pig God" who has the superpower of "Gluttony", etc.

The emergence of the newly promoted S-class heroes has diverted many fans from the Hero Association, greatly increasing the sense of urgency among the M City Association executives.

Fearing that their chosen city hero might miss out on this fast track, they made an urgent decision to bring forward the original plan.

It's estimated that King, who has been training for less than two and a half months, will be able to debut as an S-class hero in no time.

My thoughts returned to the present.

More than half a month has passed since the last card draw. Including the natural growth during the stay of the Black Robe Detectives, as well as the battle gains after the New World and the return, the number of "Fate Card Draws" has accumulated to 45.

It seems like there are quite a few, but in reality, it's not enough to draw, not nearly enough at all.

The thought of not getting a gold item in 90 draws last month made the veins on Johnson's forehead throb and bulge involuntarily.

Yeah, she's already starting to get angry.

After glancing at the silent, purple-skinned planner, Qiao Sen suddenly stood up.

As the saying goes—

Luck won't save you from bad luck, but spending money can change your fate.

Now that we've created this atmosphere, let's set a small goal for today.

Let's spend money on ten 10-pulls first!

F-Zai: Calm down! We haven't developed a pay-to-win feature!

Chapter 181 Seafood

F-zai overlooked one point.

You can't spend money on in-game purchases, but Johnson still has his stamina!

I've just been a bit lazy because of Saitama before. If I wanted to work hard, where in this world can't I find monsters to help me out?

With Saitama and Genos both deployed in Z City, there probably aren't many monsters left by now.

After watching the disaster news broadcast on TV for a while, Johnson quickly gained a general understanding of the situation in various places.

Although it's a free channel, it's very practical.

No matter how active the Hero Association is right now, there will always be monsters that slip through the net.

Firstly, the total number of professional heroes is limited, so there will always be areas that cannot be covered.

Secondly, most of the patrolling heroes are low-level C-class heroes. When they encounter powerful monsters, no matter how many of them there are, they cannot gain an advantage and can only wait for stronger heroes to come and deal with them.

Moreover, weirdos are a renewable resource in this world; once one crop is harvested, another will quickly grow back.

They can’t kill them all, they can’t kill them all at all!

A moment later, a bright blue light burst forth from the Saitama apartment, and Johnson and F-Zai disappeared from the living room.

……

City E.

Binhai Seafood Market.

Boom, boom, boom——

The wall of the cold storage room where the seafood was stored suddenly cracked, and a series of dull thuds came from behind the wall. The cracks spread and expanded visibly with the vibrations.

Two blinding cross-shaped blade lights pierced through the cracked wall, and with a loud "boom," the entire wall exploded as if it had been hit by a cannonball!

"Hahaha! It's finally out!"

A tall, agile figure leaped out from the smoke and dust, landing swiftly in the crowded fish market street.

The figure, over two meters tall, landed, revealing a giant fish head with intelligent eyes. The fish head emitted an astonishing chill, like solid ice. Below the head was a strong male human body wearing briefs, holding a huge, frozen, straight mackerel knife in each hand!

The bustling seafood market suddenly fell silent. Everyone, from vendors to customers, was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the strange man that they fell silent, their expressions gradually turning terrified.

"I am the vengeful spirit of seafood that was eaten by humans and dumped into the ocean. Today, I have been reborn to avenge those seafood products that have been wantonly hunted—the 'Frozen Fish Monster'!"
