Offer blocks to the end times

While Thousand Hands was making a recovery fluid with random ingredients, the bald man also stripped the two people on his shoulders naked and threw them into the warm water.

The two were screaming in the basin, but they couldn't resist. Naruto, seeing this, also took off his clothes and jumped in. Luckily, the iron basin summoned by Senju was big enough!

When the four large buckets floated over to Senju, all they saw were three little devils splashing around in the basin. Luckily, the bald guy didn't go down, otherwise Senju would have been questioning his life, and might even have abandoned the place to become a hero and save himself the trouble.

Well, actually, although the bald guy performed very well today, it was his first time using the device, and he already has several cracks. He's just holding on by relying on his single-mindedness.

With a wave of her hand, the four of them were grabbed by metal clamps that suddenly extended from the ground and thrown into the bucket. Of course, in reality, this had no effect on Naruto. They were recovering their bodies inside. Senju glanced at a large basin of water on the side, waved her hand, and the basin poured the water into the sewer.

"This is so troublesome," Senju scratched his head, realizing that taking care of people was also troublesome. Luckily, he was bald, so he could take care of Midoriya Izuku and the others. Suppressing his impatience, Senju watched their injuries and physical recovery, and then let them go to the bathroom to take a shower. Thinking about how the four of them were crammed together, Senju decided not to use that bathroom anymore and to build a new one himself!

Then Senju disposed of the waste restoration fluid and restored the ground. In the all-metal building, Senju wasn't afraid of getting an electric shock. After all, it was a Faraday cage, based on the principle of grounding. Even if there was a leakage, he wouldn't get an electric shock. Not to mention, he had taken the power supply very seriously back then.

"I feel so tired, I just want to lie down and play computer games without a care in the world," Thousand Hands said lazily. Then his eyes lit up and he realized that he could do that. There were also games and such. He had virtual game technology, so he could develop some. So the sign outside was changed again: 'Thousand Hands Personality and Virtual Game Research Center'.

But the bathroom was really noisy. Two kids were arguing loudly, and a bald guy was laughing. It was a complete mess. Little Midoriya Izuku didn't dare to make a sound. It was so scary! Why were they here?!

Outside, Senju started playing on his phone. This time, he was too lazy to even prepare drinks and snacks. He tried searching for ways to become a hero, and then discovered, to his dismay, that he had to take an exam. To become a hero, you had to get a license! And the requirements for applying were very strict. If Senju, with his newly created identity, went to apply, he would be immediately exposed!

"This is too much trouble. I'll just be a hero for fun then," Senju thought of the lazy bald Saitama. That guy's behavior gave Senju a lot of inspiration. He'll wait until there's a major incident that no one else can handle before he steps in. But speaking of which, the future storylines all take place at U.A. High School. Shouldn't he start preparing now?

But they definitely wouldn't recruit unknown people over there. Shaking his head, Qian Shou decided that he should just stay home and play games. When he was interested, he could go down there to adjust potions, or go out to fight monsters and look for treasures.

As he was lost in thought, one adult and three children emerged from the bathroom, each with a piece of cloth wrapped around their waist. It seemed they couldn't get used to their sweat-soaked clothes. Senju could only roll his eyes at this. Indeed, raising them was troublesome!

Chapter 1718 Setting up the progress bar

Senju's current feeling is that, how should I put it, when playing games, no matter what you do, you just watch the progress bar and wait, but in reality, everything is very troublesome. Although Senju wants to nurture Midoriya Izuku, he wants to watch the progress bar load automatically, not do it himself!

However, Senju was slightly speechless at their appearance. They weren't wearing shoes, leaving several watermarks on the ground. The four of them didn't seem to care at all. Bakugo Katsuki was even arguing with Naruto, and the bald guy was laughing loudly. Only Midoriya Izuku looked timid.

He also seemed to notice that Senju was getting impatient, so he quickly stopped the people arguing, "Naruto, Kacchan, stop arguing. This is someone else's home. They've already been very kind by letting us take a bath. Don't be so rude."

"Hmph!" The two snorted, but then stopped arguing. Izuku Midoriya then apologized profusely to Senju, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we were so rude. We'll clean up these things."

"Never mind," Senju shook her head slightly, suppressing her impatience as she watched Izuku Midoriya desperately apologize. Then, she raised her hand, and a piece of gold flew out, followed by several pieces of clothing flying in from outside. This was a combination of metal manipulation and mental power. "Put on these clothes. You are being far too rude as you are."

"Oh, thank you so much!" The bald guy over there put on a shirt and struck all sorts of poses, exuding a macho aura. Thousand Hands helplessly covered his eyes, realizing he'd just been cramming in his own common sense!

After everyone had dressed, Senju pointed to a metal chair on the side and said, "Sit down." After saying those three words, Senju slowly tapped the table with his fingers, thinking about what to say. In reality, he didn't have much to say. When he was alone, especially with a child, he could fool him to his heart's content. But with more people, it was troublesome, especially with Naruto around!

"Tell me, how can I become stronger!" At this moment, Bakugo Katsuki, his hands firmly on the table, stared at Senju and shouted. Seeing his intense longing for power, Senju was momentarily stunned. Bakugo Katsuki's current appearance...

The boy looks a bit like Solo when he was a child.

"I'm sorry, but you're already very capable. You can train on your own. I can't help you," Senju said sincerely, but it was just a perfunctory remark. If you didn't believe me, just look at Bakugo Katsuki's fiery eyes. Although he's young and impulsive, it doesn't mean he's stupid. On the contrary, Bakugo Katsuki is extremely intelligent. He sensed a lot of perfunctoriness in her words. "Why?"

"Why?" Senju tilted his head, looking at Bakugo Katsuki, who was suppressing his anger. "What do you mean, 'why'? What do I have to do with you? What good will it do me if you become stronger? What meaning will it have for me? In the end, becoming stronger is your business, not mine. Why should I make you stronger?!"

"I see," Bakugo Katsuki immediately understood, recalling the sign he saw when he came in. "This is a research institute, right? So, what price should I pay for you to make me as strong as you?"

“No, you’re mistaken. This is the Virtual Game Research Center,” Senju said, and the sign outside changed again. ‘Senju Virtual Game Research Center’! Bakugo Katsuki immediately jumped up. “Impossible! Don’t think I’m too young to understand Chinese characters!”

But after running outside to take a look, he was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? Just now..."

"Katsuki," Izuku Midoriya said, following them out. Looking at the sign, he exclaimed, "Huh? It was still like this yesterday..."

"What?" Bakugo Katsuki was stunned. Looking around, he saw that Midoriya Izuku wasn't there at all. Instead, he was inside the house with a drink in hand. Bakugo rubbed his eyes. Had he just hallucinated?! But looking at the sign, it seemed like those were the words he had just seen. Was he just hallucinating from running too much?! Filled with doubt, he returned to the house.

"How about it? I wasn't lying, was I?" After using her mind control abilities to confuse their memories, Senju smiled as she looked at the utterly bewildered Bakugo Katsuki, then turned to the bald man who was heartily devouring snacks. "Have you remembered your identity?"

“Not at all,” the bald man said nonchalantly, then bent his arm. “But what’s important for a man is muscle, even if he loses his memory, it’s no problem!”

"And most importantly, we need to repay this young man's kindness!" The bald man slapped Midoriya Izuku hard, completely ignoring the fact that Midoriya was already slumped over the table. "I will definitely train him to be a proper man!"

“Is that so? I was just thinking about training Midoriya. Since you don’t have any memories right now and you’re very good at training, then I’ll leave the training to you. I’ll pay you.” Senju nodded, talking to himself, while the bald man next to him also took on the responsibility, “Leave it to me!”

"..." The three children next to him were speechless for a moment, then Senju stood up and said, "In that case, we can build you a house to live in right next to you. Midoriya, you can come over every afternoon and train with the bald guy."

"Huh?" The three were puzzled. Had they really agreed on everything in just a few words? But seeing Senju and the bald man leave, they followed. Then, the group arrived at the beach. They were a bit lost. Naruto asked casually, "Hey, uncle, weren't we supposed to be building a house? What are we doing here?"

"Who are you calling 'uncle'?" Senju casually flicked Naruto's forehead, then looked at the sea. "Did you know? There are actually a lot of metals on the seabed. They are all condensed into clumps and lying on the seabed waiting for people to mine them. But now, let me use them as materials."

As he spoke, Senju stretched out his hand, and countless manganese nodules on the seabed ten kilometers away began to move. They then rose from the sea and flew towards them. However, Senju found the nearly one minute in between rather tedious. He was posing here, but his reaction was too slow. He should have just collected the metals from the shallow sea area.

Fortunately, the children were looking around, watching for any changes. If they had actually asked, "What are you doing?", Senju would have felt very embarrassed. However, seeing the countless black nodules hurtling through the air, Senju breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived. Things would be much easier from now on. The countless manganese nodules exploded instantly, sending the metallic components flying over, while the rest fell into the sea.

Chapter 1719 Virtual Games

As countless black mists drifted in, they quickly condensed into gleaming metals. A small portion of these formed a sphere that floated around Senju. This sphere was a condensation of precious metals such as gold and silver.

The remaining part transformed into a two-story building with five thick, sharp steel cones at its base. Under Senju's command, these cones crashed to the shore and embedded themselves firmly in the sand. Then, the steel cones transformed into pipes leading to water pipes, underground electrical conduits, and the sea. The water supply was immediately connected, but the power supply would require some time and materials.

As for the doors and windows, Senju also chose metal, all of them shiny. The four people next to him were quite surprised. Senju pointed over there and said, "Let's go take a look. If you need anything, I can help you make it."

"So this is metal control?" Izuku Midoriya swallowed hard, while Katsuki Bakugo beside him was equally shocked. "To be able to do something like this?! No one could possibly hold up a metal house this big!"

“Well, that’s pretty ordinary,” Senju said, shaking his head as he walked ahead. “Only by taking another step can one control the magnetic field of a planet and destroy it with a single blow. Only by taking a few more steps can one control electromagnetic force and destroy a galaxy.”

"!" The three people beside him were dumbfounded. Although they didn't quite understand, the other party was talking about destroying planets, right?! What kind of monster is this?! Bakugo Katsuki couldn't help but ask, "Who's stronger, you or All Might?"

"All Might, what a pity," Senju shook her head, thinking that All Might should be seriously injured now, and continued, "All Might is a bit weak now, but he can still easily stir up a storm and smash dozens of buildings with a punch. If he were to fight me, it would probably be a 50/50 chance."

"How is that possible?! Do you know All Might?!" The children exclaimed in surprise. With a wave of his hand, several life-sized All Might statues appeared in front of the metal house, and they were even in color, a composite of various metals. "Something like that. I've seen him a few times before."

"Oh! All Might!" Several children rushed over and started touching him! Senju felt speechless. All Might's brilliance shone on the world. Of course, the bald guy next to him went over to compare whose muscles were bigger with All Might's.

After their initial excitement, the three children looked at Senju and asked, "Have you really seen All Might? Do you have his autograph?"

“I’ve seen him, but I didn’t get his autograph,” Senju waved casually, looking at the three of them. “That guy really likes to sign autographs. If we run into each other again, I’ll get some for you guys.”

"Thank you so much!" Izuku Midoriya kept bowing, but Katsuki Bakugo was a little confused. "What do you mean by All Might getting weaker? He's the world's greatest hero, how could he get weaker?!"

"You don't need to know the details of this matter," Senju shook his head, then looked at the others, and finally said, "Strive to become stronger. All Might has been supporting this world alone for too long. Someone needs to become the new symbol of peace so that he can get a proper rest."

“How could that be? All Might is the strongest.” The children didn’t understand what Senju meant. Senju shook his head and didn’t bother to say more. “Alright, let’s go in and take a look. If you need to add any fitness equipment, I can probably help you with that.”

"Oh, that's a huge help!" the bald man said excitedly, not paying much attention to All Might's matter. Then, Senju made him all kinds of exercise equipment, as well as tables, chairs, beds and the like.

Finally, with a wave of his hand, the metal ball floating beside him separated several kilograms of gold, which was then pressed into hundreds of gold coins. "Consider this your salary. Use it to exchange for money to buy some daily necessities."

"Oh, thank you, boss!" The bald man quickly got into character, while the three people next to him were somewhat dumbfounded. "Um, is that gold? Is this what metal control is? That's too much!"

"No, no, no, there are also silver and platinum ones," Thousand Hands waved his hand modestly, and the three of them immediately rolled their eyes. "Alright, I'll leave this to you guys. Train hard and become stronger! I'm going to make some game consoles now."

"Uh..." Amidst the three speechless expressions, Senju left, then the bald man, showing off his muscles, looked at the three with a grin, "Have you rested enough? Let's continue training~"

"No!!!" The three cried out in despair. Qian Shou, who was outside, shook his head slightly, then took out his phone and asked the renovation company to come and install the electrical circuits and various equipment.

Next, Thousand Hands returned to his research center and began handcrafting a super-large server. This alien-tech server, made entirely of metal, could support hundreds of super-large virtual online games. Of course, most importantly, it could transmit signals wirelessly and globally in sync, and it could also carry Thousand Hands' brainwaves to scan the entire world.

Thousand Hands can now use brainwaves to travel the world on these wireless waves. The next step is to create an interactive virtual reality headset, which also uses the composite conversion technology of brainwaves and radio waves. After all, the current technology in the world is at most VR games.

After completing these steps, Senju began programming. Fortunately, he remembered the 'World Seed' program developed by Kayaba Akihiko. Soon, a blank world was completed. Then, Senju put on the helmet and entered the virtual world to 'create the world'.

Inside, Senju had regained all his abilities, making him practically omnipotent. However, since it was a virtual world, the settings and such were still there. After playing for a while, Senju got bored and left. It was already 2 a.m., so he shook his head and went straight to sleep.

Over the next few days, Senju made a bunch of game helmets and sold them online. However, these models required batteries, since most people's brainwaves couldn't be converted into energy to start and maintain the helmet's network connection. Unfortunately, sales weren't good. As soon as people heard it was a virtual game, the first thing they asked was if there were any All Might characters available. Senju was speechless. He was making a completely open and free immersive virtual game!

In his spare time, he would use radio waves to search the world, thinking that once these virtual game helmets spread throughout the world, the Senju would be able to find the sealed ninjas through their records once they used them. Well, that would be a long process.

Of course, the afternoon was spent watching the three little ones being "tortured"—no, I mean, "trained" by the bald man. But none of the three children complained; on the contrary, they seemed to enjoy it more.

The more they exercised, the more energetic they became. They posed in front of the All Might statue every day, and Senju noticed that tourists were slowly appearing on the beach. The All Might statue quickly became a tourist attraction.

Chapter 1720 Conflict

And along with the tourists come all sorts of small vendors, but I don't dislike the Thousand Hands area. It's very convenient to buy things there. And the surrounding beaches, after a few days of 'replenishment,' are slowly recovering. Many people from the surrounding area come here to play in the water. Every time I see the Thousand Hands area, I feel very strange.

Slightly reluctant, Senju extended the underground sewage pipes ten kilometers into the ocean. Although he knew it was just psychological and that the ocean had self-purifying abilities, he still refused to go into the water and rejected all seafood. As a result, he avoided many stalls, and when asked, Senju would always say he was allergic to seafood.

During this time, through Jarvis's and the supercomputer's deductions, Thousand Hands also successfully created several superpowered drugs. Thousand Hands tested them on fish, and they all died. Then he caught many rats to experiment on, and this time he had a 30% success rate. The remaining 50% died, and 20% were useless.

Senju was slightly tempted to inject herself with AFO's ability, but she wondered if her immortality could withstand it, or if it would cause mutations that would break her body. This made Senju very hesitant, but in the end she sealed it away. Human experimentation was something she decided to put off for the time being.

More than ten days passed, and the three children looked much stronger. Fortunately, they were of East Asian descent, so their muscles weren't very prominent; otherwise, they would have looked like miniature All Might.

However, on this day, Senju was speechless to find that there were many more heroes around him. They seemed to have surrounded him. What were these guys up to? Senju was very puzzled. Had his act of making genuine documents been exposed? But that shouldn't be a problem, so he waited there.

Soon, someone knocked on the door, and Senju opened it. A group of heroes rushed in, then looked at Senju warily. "Mr. Senju, you have been arrested for illegally using your Quirk, causing hundreds of people to fall into an illusion. Please do not resist!"

"Huh?!" Senju was speechless. What kind of crime was this?! When did he ever misuse his abilities?! And an illusion?! Senju stared at everyone speechlessly. "You're not talking about the virtual game I developed, are you?! You've got something wrong, haven't you?"

"Huh? A virtual game?" The group of heroes were speechless. Thousand Hands nodded. "That's right. I'm currently in the closed beta of a virtual game. It's not an illusion at all. You've got something wrong, haven't you?"

“But that’s clearly a psychokinetic Quirk. It controlled the minds of hundreds of people and caused a huge commotion,” several heroes said. Senju shook his head repeatedly, pointing to a helmet on a shelf. “This is a game research center, not a Quirk! You must have made a mistake!”

"No matter what, come with us anyway." Although some heroes' attitudes had changed, they were still prepared to complete the mission. Thousand Hands nodded, looking at the heroes who were checking everywhere. "Alright, I'll go with you. But there are a lot of valuable items here, and there's equipment worth hundreds of billions underground. If anything is lost, you'll have to compensate for it!"

"A hundred billion?!" The hero standing to the side was stunned. Thousand Hands nodded. "That's right. Inside there's a super quantum computer that serves as a server. That one alone is worth three hundred billion. In addition, there's the prototype of the game pod, whose technology is worth tens of billions. There's also intelligent AI technology and brainwave wireless wave conversion technology. If the technology inside is lost, the total loss to my research institute could reach trillions of dollars. Can you afford that?"

"Wait, how did it become trillions of dollars?" one of the heroes complained. Thousand Hands shook his finger. "This is the only virtual gaming technology in the world. It's the mainstream of the future gaming industry. Hundreds of millions of people around the world will enter it to play. The corresponding industrial value is extremely high. I now seriously suspect that you've come to steal my exclusive technology!"

"Uh," the heroes were now in a bind. They weren't ignorant of the law; they were experts in it. If the other party said this, and information was leaked in the future, this person could sue them for industrial espionage. Besides, who knew how much was actually inside?! If the other party claimed that something was missing, they would be left penniless even if they had to pay compensation to the point of bankruptcy!

“We absolutely will not leak any information about this place. While you are away, we will guard this place to prevent outsiders from coming in,” the heroes said to Senju after discussing it. Senju shook his head slightly, “If you guard this place, won’t that damage the reputation of my research institute?! There are just too many Quirks. Even if the research institute is completely sealed off, I’m a little worried.”

“We are heroes, you can rest assured! We will definitely guard this place well,” several heroes said, slightly annoyed. Thousand Hands shook his head. “I’m still worried. There’s a lot of advanced technology data down there. You might not be able to resist, and you might make up some charges. I won’t admit to them!”

"Even so, you still need to come with us and explain!" The heroes were reluctant, but they still had to complete the mission. Senju immediately nodded, "Of course..."

"I'll go with you, but I'm worried about things here."

In short, Thousand Hands doesn't trust these heroes, fearing they'll steal his trade secrets. The heroes, in turn, are wary of the trillions of dollars worth of goods mentioned by the other side and dare not act rashly. Well, what they don't doubt is: is this really worth trillions of dollars?

The reason Senju didn't completely control these heroes was because Aizawa Shota was also there, and he kept his abilities active. Senju could only send a bit of subconsciousness into everyone's consciousness in the blink of an eye. Virtual game technology = a super high-value industrial chain. Ordinary people wouldn't think there's a problem with that.

After some haggling, Senju finally agreed reluctantly, "Alright, I'll go with you. Jarvis, turn on all the surveillance cameras and record information from all the important locations. If anyone breaks in, notify me immediately!"

“Yes, Master,” Jarvis replied in a seemingly professional manner, eliciting a gasp of shock from the surrounding heroes. “Who is it? Is there anyone else here?”

“Don’t be surprised, this is the culmination of artificial intelligence technology, the intelligent AI Mr. Jarvis. He is responsible for monitoring everything here. If anything is lost or business intelligence is leaked,” Thousand Hands looked at the people around him, “I will demand compensation from all of you!”

Chapter 1721 Equipment in the Game Center

By now, Senju knows that the next step is just stalling for time. These heroes should be trustworthy, and even if they aren't, Senju can still run away, right?

So, to the astonishment of the heroes, Thousand Hands showed them a jumble of equipment, including ordinary surveillance cameras, acoustic surveillance cameras, infrared surveillance cameras, weight surveillance cameras, and so on. Then, he sealed off all the passages in the small building and left with a few other heroes. Of course, a few heroes stayed behind to guard the place. They were also very troubled. Could this be a mistake? If so, the consequences would be very troublesome!

To prevent certain individuals from stealing trade secrets, Aizawa Shota stayed here to guard the place. So, things became much easier. After arriving at the police station and receiving a (mind control) explanation, Senju was released without charge. Incidentally, the sheriff kept bowing and apologizing there.

This kind of operation is very illegal. Generally, a thorough sampling investigation would be conducted, and Senju would be detained for 24 hours. However, under mind control, everyone admitted their mistake and signed a confidentiality agreement, promising not to disclose any related trade secrets before the game is officially launched!

When he returned, he saw that the heroes were still there, but they all looked very unhappy. Thousand Hands shook his head and invited them into the small building. "Don't think I'm being too cautious. The technology here is just too important. Of course, there's also the wealth. There's actually a ton of gold, three and a half tons of silver, seven hundred kilograms of platinum, and several tons of precious metals stored here. We have to be careful."

"..." The heroes rolled their dead fish eyes, not knowing what to say. Thousand Hands continued, "By the way, we also have some by-products here, such as the individual magnetic flight device. This technology came about when we were developing the motion-sensing game pod, but it can also be used as a standalone piece of equipment."

As he spoke, Thousand Hands waved his hand, and a vest-like piece of equipment was attached to his body. Then, Thousand Hands slowly floated up. Well, this was actually a super-simplified version of Iron Man's armor. After spinning a few times in the air, Thousand Hands looked at the stunned heroes beside him and asked, "Are you interested in ordering this kind of equipment?"
