"A Star Destroyer-class Superman?"
Adeline repeated the sentence, then searched her mind for information about Star Destroyer-class Superman. However, even after searching through all her memories, she found no information about Star Destroyer-class Superman.
Adler shook his head, full of apology:
"Sorry, I've never heard of it."
"I see..."
Lilith wasn't surprised by this answer; after all, it was a main quest in the Seven Star World, and finding the person right away was obviously not ideal.
Adeline, however, was puzzled by Lilith's question:
"So what do you want with that Star Destroyer-class Superman? Did you come to Earth specifically to find him?"
Not getting the information she wanted, Lilith prepared to slip away. When Adeline questioned her, she gave a casual, evasive answer:
"Yes, I admire him very much."
Unexpectedly, this casual reply excited Adeline:
"Is that so? Do you have any ambitions to become a hero? The environment on a neutron star is so harsh; you must be very strong to have been born there."
If you become a hero, you might catch the attention of a Star Destroyer-class Superman, and then... he might come looking for you.
"To become a hero?"
Hearing this, Lilith fell into thought. Although she was happy to help when she saw someone in trouble, she never thought of becoming a hero or making helping people her job.
However, Lilith recalled the reactions of those law enforcement officers when they saw Adeline not long ago; they were practically die-hard fans.
...If becoming a hero can build popularity, then wouldn't that provide a way to complete my first side quest? In that case, becoming a hero isn't entirely out of the question...
Thinking of this, Lilith looked at Adeline and nodded reluctantly:
"Is that so? I think I can give it a try..."
Chapter 22: The alliance of heroes is, of course, called the League of Legends.
Upon learning that Lilith aspired to become a hero, Adeline picked her up without a word and flew north of the city with her.
Although Adeline flew very steadily, with even the airflow being blocked by the bio-force field, Lilith felt much more awkward being carried by someone else for the first time compared to when she flew on her own.
How could she describe this feeling? Lilith thought for a moment before realizing it was a terrible experience of entrusting her safety to someone else.
In addition, Lilith was also very curious about the destination of this flight, so she asked Adeline:
"Hey, where are you taking me?"
Adeline just smiled at this. For some reason, seeing Lilith reminded her of herself when she first arrived on Earth.
At that time, because she didn't know anyone on Earth and no one taught her what to do, she made many jokes and was even mistaken for an alien invader.
Fortunately, after Adeline used her abilities to help humanity, she gained their recognition and became the Platinum Woman she is today.
She didn't want Lilith to follow the same path she had taken, so she volunteered to be Lilith's guide, saying:
"You've just arrived on Earth, and there are many things you don't understand. Let me explain them to you."
On Earth, natural and man-made disasters are frequent. Being a hero requires taking on enormous risks, because when facing disasters and enemies, a single misstep can lead to the real loss of one's life.
Therefore, in order to be responsible to the people, or to those who wanted to step forward and become heroes, the original five heroes of Blue Star created an organization to evaluate heroes and rank them.
And that's exactly where I'm taking you.
Upon hearing this, Lilith nodded thoughtfully:
"I see. So this place is called...?"
Adeline said solemnly:
"League of Legends!"
"League of Legends?"
Hearing this name, Lilith felt something was off. Although she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange, she had a feeling that the name was deliberately trying to piggyback on the popularity of a certain game with the same name...
After flying for about ten minutes, Lilith and Adeline finally arrived at their destination.
It was a huge pyramid-shaped building located in the city center. Because it was made entirely of high-strength concrete and had no decorative structure, the pyramid looked lifeless, like a giant that remained silent forever.
This is the headquarters of League of Legends. It brings together almost all the superhumans in this megacity, leading heroes, training heroes, and guiding humanity through crisis after crisis.
On the way, Lilith had already learned more about this world through Adeline.
Once upon a time, the planet Earth had hundreds of nations, each with its own stance and fighting its own battles. But everything changed when ancient behemoths and demons came to the surface.
People all over the world united to fight against the giant beasts and demons.
But human strength has its limits. In the war against giant beasts and demons, humanity suffered defeat after defeat. In the end, in order to protect themselves, the concept of nation disappeared, and what replaced it was this megacity before us...
"Alright, we've arrived at our destination. Let me tell you the specific process of becoming a hero."
After arriving at the League of Legends headquarters, Adeline lowered his flight altitude until he landed, and then put Lilith back on the ground.
She then led the way while continuing to speak:
"First, you need to register at the registration desk, and then you will be assessed by the examiners in order to determine whether you are qualified to become a hero."
If you're not qualified, you'll be eliminated; if you are qualified, you'll move on to the next round for a skills-based evaluation...
As Lilith listened to Adeline's account, she nodded to herself, while also taking in the League of Legends headquarters. Two things impressed her most: the spaciousness and the large number of people.
Looking at those long queues, I couldn't help but wonder:
"Are all these people here to participate in the hero assessment?"
"of course."
Upon hearing Lilith's question, Adeline raised his head, looking quite proud.
"Although all of humanity can only huddle in this megacity under the onslaught of behemoths and demons, hope remains forever."
To reclaim their vast homeland, to protect their defenseless brethren, humanity is always willing to sacrifice itself, one after another. That's why I love humanity!
"Is that so...?"
After listening to Adeline's account, Lilith muttered something under her breath, not entirely believing it, but preparing to verify everything with her own eyes.
Adeline stayed with Lilith the whole time, helping her complete the registration before leading her to an open space where they found a seat.
The test to become a hero takes place here.
Lilith had assumed Adeline would guide her through the entire process of becoming a hero, but while waiting in line, a deep voice suddenly came through Adeline's headset:
"A colossal beast has descended upon the fourth district of the southwest of the city, codenamed [Flying Squirrel]. It is roughly classified as an A-rank beast. A-rank heroes are requested to proceed to the scene to evacuate the refugees. Heroes of A rank and above are requested to proceed to eliminate the target..."
Upon hearing this, Adeline, who had been patiently waiting with Lilith for the hero review, suddenly stood up from his seat.
Just as she was about to take off, she met Lilith's questioning gaze, paused for a moment, and then reminded her:
"When the examiner calls your name, go up there. Once you pass the test, you can go to the trial grounds to register as a hero."
If you don't know where the testing grounds are, you can ask the examiners. If all else fails, you can observe the people who have passed the test ahead of you and follow them.
I'm going to do my task first. I'll come find you after I'm done. Don't wander off...
After suddenly finishing his speech, Adeline didn't linger. Almost immediately, he lifted off the ground, transforming into a white-gold afterimage as he flew out of the League of Legends headquarters and headed towards the eighth district in the southwest of the city...
After glancing at the spot where Adeline had left, Lilith turned her gaze back to the assessment area. It wasn't that she was indifferent; she was simply thinking about what abilities she should demonstrate to the examiners later.
Lilith had been observing her surroundings and noticed that almost all heroes who could fly, like Adeline, wore embarrassing bodysuits.
It turns out this wasn't a perverted hobby, but rather a standard feature of heroes.
But Lilith still resisted this kind of outfit, and even thought:
[Should I just hide my flight ability? But that would make traveling very inconvenient... What's the optimal solution?]
Chapter 23: An unexpected encounter with Farting Superman, despite all efforts, they could not defeat him.
Since she couldn't come up with an answer, Lilith turned her attention to the testing area, hoping to find inspiration there.
At this moment, the previous examinee regretfully left the room. The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses among the three examiners glanced at the documents in his hand and said:
"Next, Andrew."
A moment later, a guy wearing a turmeric-colored bodysuit walked onto the testing area, his red underwear seemingly indicating his unusual status.
The examiners didn't react much to this; they looked at the information Andrew had filled out as usual, without even glancing at him.
"Andrew, introduce yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Andrew, dressed in an odd outfit, proudly puffed out his chest and spoke in a loud voice:
"My name is Andrew! Male! I live on the 12th floor of Building B, Xingfu Community, Fourth District of the South City! My parents are alive! My ID card number and bank card number and password are..."
Just as Andrew was about to continue, the bespectacled man interrupted him with a cough. He looked up at Andrew and said:
"You don't need to say everything, just introduce your special skills."
Upon hearing this, Andrew suddenly realized what was going on, and he immediately said:
"Special talent? You might not believe it, but I've had a talent that most people don't have since I was a child: the ability to expel waste gas from my body multiple times in a short period of time..."
As Andrew explained, the bespectacled man patiently took notes in his notebook. However, the examiner with long, straight black hair to the left of the bespectacled man clearly couldn't sit still any longer regarding this obviously problematic presentation.
"Expelling waste gas from the body? That sounds so nice, but it's just farting! And you, what's so interesting about that!"
As she spoke, the examiner with long, straight black hair snatched the bespectacled man's notebook, only to find that the notebook was filled with nothing but turtle drawings.
"........."
The examiner with long, straight black hair fell silent. She looked at the bespectacled man who was seriously taking back his notebook, and she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
At this moment, Andrew was still introducing himself:
"Although everyone says my superpower is bullshit, I don't think so. I've been developing my superpower and finally I can release exhaust gas a hundred times in one minute."
During my best period, I could even achieve brief airtime by farting. I believe that in the future, as long as I work hard to develop it, I will definitely be able to fly.
See this uniform I'm wearing? I had it custom-made. I've already decided on my title when I become a hero: Farting Superman? Sounds pretty cool, right?
"They talked for so long, but in the end they didn't even bother to act! You know it was all nonsense!"
