—Good heavens, this guest is quite heavy, but... please don't come along too!
Sweating profusely, the shop owner quickly explained the situation: "Sir, I'm so sorry, the new batch of pastries has just been put into the steamer and isn't fully cooked yet. You may have to wait a little longer..."
"I see," the muffled voice seemed unconcerned and easy to talk to. "Then I'll wait a little longer."
"Boss," Qiao Sen said to him as the boss brought over 10 freshly made soup dumplings, "I'll give my portion to that customer first."
The boss was taken aback: "Eh, but..."
"It's okay, just steam it and serve it to me later," Qiao Sen said to himself, touching his still flat stomach. "Eating about 80% full for breakfast is about right."
Tornado: “…”
boss:"……"
The owner delivered 10 baskets of soup dumplings to the table behind him as instructed. After hearing his explanation, a burly man covered in fat turned around in surprise and met Qiao Sen's kind gaze.
The man was about two meters tall, with a fleshy face, but surprisingly he didn't look fierce and appeared quite kind.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two nodded to each other in a friendly manner, without saying much.
Despite being equipped with a disguise artifact, the other party did not recognize him, while he knew the other party's identity clearly: "Pig God," currently ranked 12th in the S-class.
After more than a year of development, the Hero Association is now at its peak, with the S-class hero roster reaching 18 after Saitama and Genos joined.
It's not surprising that Qiao Sen encountered the "Pig God" at this trendy restaurant.
Not long after, Qiao Sen finished the last of his soup dumplings, and left with Long Juan after paying the bill, satisfied.
At this moment, "Pig God" replicated Johnson's actions, with a variety of breakfast dishes laid out in front of him, and it seemed that he was just getting into the swing of things.
Stepping out of the breakfast shop, Tornado, glowing with a soft green light, floated up and sat on Johnson's broad shoulders, asking curiously, "Who was that person just now?"
She has no concept of colleagues. If someone is a "weak" person she looks down on, she might not even remember their name, even if they've met before.
Not to mention "Pig God," whom I've never met since joining the Hero Association.
Johnson smiled and simply replied, "A hero."
They walked along the streets in the early morning, basking in the sunlight.
As more and more passersby gathered around, casting increasingly suspicious glances, Qiao Sen activated his ability. The two figures disappeared into the distance as they rounded a corner.
……
City D.
Wearing his classic yellow battle suit, Saitama single-handedly supported a 20-story residential building that had been destroyed and collapsed by a monster, and said to the terrified citizens below, "It's alright now, get out of here."
"Ah...yes, yes!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"My savior!"
"Hey--"
Amidst the words of gratitude, there was a rather impolite trill of the tongue, causing Saitama to look up with a puzzled expression, three question marks appearing above his head.
Then a skinny, blond-haired guy with a cocky attitude pointed at him and yelled, "You're a hero, aren't you? Hold this house up properly for me. I paused the game I was about to finish when I came out, so don't break my computer, understand, uncle!"
Saitama's eyes turned dead, and his lips twitched.
He didn't mind being called "uncle," but this guy who wouldn't leave and kept pointing and gesturing probably had something seriously wrong with his head.
Chapter 302 Little Blackie Goes Online
boom--
A dark figure landed heavily, and Genos, with an upright expression, turned off his thrusters and walked towards Saitama.
"Saitama-sensei, I have eliminated the monster that was destroying the neighborhood."
The cyborg boy glanced at the skinny blond guy who was still yelling not far away, and then stopped paying attention to him.
"Oh."
Saitama, still supporting the building with one hand, grinned and said, "Thanks for your hard work, Genos."
As we all know, Superman is able to lift airplanes and buildings, and intercept Lois at supersonic speed without breaking her in two because he possesses a "biofield" that protects him and anything he touches, neutralizing the effects of external forces.
Saitama doesn't have that kind of superpower.
If the point of force, the size of a palm, deviates slightly from the vertical direction of the building, it will generate an unbalanced torque that exceeds the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete, causing the building to tilt or even collapse under its own weight.
However, the laws of physics did not apply properly to Saitama.
Or rather, within the bounds of the world's rules, he simply wanted to do it, and his well-trained body accomplished just that.
Just like now, Saitama is supporting the residential building with his right hand while applying slight force.
Boom!
The broken building section returned to its vertical position, rising slightly with his arm movement before embedding itself firmly in the ground.
Aside from causing a surge in local PM levels, it has no other impact.
The residential building stood there perfectly fine.
Wow, it's that amazing!
A huge cloud of smoke rose from the spot, and Saitama and Genos, having completed their heroic mission, walked towards Z-City, chatting and laughing.
The blond-haired guy, who was still foolishly staying put, was choked half to death.
"Cough cough, cough cough..."
"The computer will definitely break down if this keeps up, you damn Mediterranean guy, I'm definitely going to file a complaint against you!!"
"Minister Lani! The Disaster Intelligence Division has obtained the latest S-level operational video intelligence."
"Okay, just send it to me directly through the association's system backend."
"Roger that!"
Z City Hero Association Branch, Minister's Office.
Lani put down the communicator, and a few seconds later, a message notification popped up on her office computer.
A packaged file labeled "D City S-level Combat Video Intelligence Collection" was transmitted through the system backend.
She skillfully clicked to receive the message, which then displayed hundreds of online names or video files from various perspectives captured by surveillance cameras. The main characters were the newly joined S-class heroes, "Demon Cyborg" and "Hairless Cloak Man".
Lani wasn't surprised to see this. According to the information, Saitama and Genos often did hero activities together before joining the Hero Association, so there was no problem with packaging their battle videos together.
With that in mind, Lani sped up her browsing.
The video file shows that the two received a disaster alert from a neighboring city and immediately joined forces to defeat a giant doll bear monster that was rampaging through the slums before the arrival of the local heroes of D City.
The fact that they were able to defeat the monster so quickly after traveling dozens of kilometers speaks volumes about the strength of these two newly promoted S-class spies.
At this moment, Lani also felt a sense of pride.
After all, Johnson and Bang were S-class heroes promoted by her, so if the two of them jointly recommended him, he was practically an S-class hero she had discovered!
No problem!
Returning to the video footage, "Cyborg Genos" served as the main offensive force, using fluid attacks to force the monsters away from the citizens the moment the battle began; while "Hairless Cape Man" Saitama displayed astonishing mobility, using his inhuman speed and strength to rescue ordinary citizens affected by the destruction of the city.
Monster disasters often happen like this: a low-level monster may be able to cause limited damage, but the secondary disasters it creates can affect countless ordinary people.
Lanny had witnessed Genos's terrifying firepower many times, so she wasn't too surprised that he could take down that giant monster.
After all, Lani has a broad perspective, and she has top-tier S-class individuals like Johnson constantly refreshing her understanding of the strong.
Moreover, it is common knowledge that "a large body indicates a weak body, and a lot of hair indicates a weak body."
But Saitama is quite different from other heroes.
This S-rank hero, whose name was arbitrarily given by some genius at headquarters based on his appearance, displayed a kind of power that Lani couldn't quite understand.
Inhuman strength, speed, and ultimate control.
No matter how outrageous his actions were, he handled them with remarkable ease, as if he had long since discarded the limits of humanity as trash.
She had only ever seen this unimaginable power in one other person before.
For example, in this scene, a residential building is uprooted by a giant toy bear monster, which intends to use it as a weapon to attack the "devilish cyborg."
This action was interrupted by Genos, and Saitama stepped forward and supported the broken building with one hand, allowing nearby citizens to escape.
"call--"
Lani quickly scanned all the videos and updated their battle record sheets with their achievement of defeating the demon-level disaster.
As for the percentage of contribution, it remains equal.
Recording heroes' battle achievements is one of the important daily tasks of each Hero Association branch.
Aside from those heroes who voluntarily report their achievements, the association cannot keep track of a significant portion of the merits in defeating monsters and disasters in real time. It needs to collect and verify information through various channels, including the internet, media, and citizen hotlines, before it can be definitively confirmed.
During this process, incidents such as underreporting of credit and fraudulent claims occurred frequently.
