In room 104, King and Saitama looked at each other.
Saitama stared at King for a long time before exclaiming: "King, did you dig coal yesterday?"
“…”
King's face turned dark. Because of the battle with Boros, it was inevitable that the left part of his body would be black and the right part dirty. He really looked like a coal digger.
However, it doesn't matter to him, because the harvest from this trip is very rich, comparable to the coal boss's sudden wealth.
"Eh? Why did my previous card disappear?"
King scratched his head and was shocked to find that more than half of the cards he had before traveling through time were missing.
"Ding, traveling normally consumes energy!"
The system reminds you leisurely.
"Consumption?"
The corner of King's mouth twitched. Sure enough, the system had restrictions on his time travel. One time travel required one million energy. Of course, he didn't know how to calculate one million energy. It might be equal to experience value.
"Now my random time travel plan is ruined."
He originally planned to take advantage of such a powerful skill to play Saitama in the parallel world. However, the system may have seen through his thoughts and specifically restricted it. The time-travel consumes such terrifying energy, which means that he basically can only travel to the wave. Only in the Ross incident can you make a steady profit, otherwise, you will definitely lose money.
Of course, if he doesn't care, he can also risk losing blood to travel to the parallel world or play pranks. This approach is not impossible. For example, he gained a lot from this time travel, thousands of weirdo cards plus three dragons. The monster cards and Boros' five-star monster cards are enough to support him to travel through two or three times.
So, if he wants to play, he can try it.
"Hey, king, how have you considered my proposal yesterday?"
Saitama waved his hand in front of King.
"Um?"
The king came back to his senses and asked doubtfully: "What proposal?"
"Let's compete!"
Saitama clenched his fists with enthusiasm.
"Not interested in."
King poured cold water on Saitama without hesitation.
"Hey~"
Saitama sighed in disappointment. Ever since he became bald... oh, no, ever since he became stronger, he has not met a real opponent for a long time. No matter how powerful the weirdo is before the war, he brags about himself, what kind of universe overlord, weirdo The king, the king of the deep sea, the king of the underground... Once they fight, they all find they are younger brothers.
These people... will die if they don't brag? I follow the example of King, who obviously has great strength, but has always kept a low profile, and never accepted my challenge, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Oh, how uncomfortable it is! Genos!
"Ahem, Saitama, don't be too disappointed, of course I'm eager to fight you!"
King said seriously: "However, the time for us to fight is not yet mature."
"What's the meaning?"
Saitama showed a hint of confusion, "Is it necessary to choose an auspicious day for martial arts competitions?"
"Of course... No, what I mean is, Saitama, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. In this world where weirdos are raging, citizens live in panic every day. As heroes, how can we do it for our own selfishness? And let yourself get hurt, in vain for the safety of citizens?"
King talks a lot about running the train.
"Then... king, are you saying that when the world is at peace, it's time for us to duel?"
Saitama said hesitantly.
"Um!"
The king smiled and nodded, caring for Saitama with a "teachable" look.
"Doesn't that mean... we have no chance to fight in this life?"
Saitama naturally squatted in the corner, hugged his knees with his hands, and had no love in his life. World peace? Judging from the frequency of this weirdo's appearance, unless the weirdo completely replaces humans, there is basically no possibility of peace.
"Ahem, of course, this condition is indeed too harsh." King pondered for a moment and said, "Well, to boost your morale, if you can beat me in the game, I can accept your challenge!"
Well, I'm too soft-hearted!
"Let's talk about the conditions for world peace!"
After Saitama was silent for a while, he dragged his heavy and tired body weakly and turned on the TV to read today's disaster news.
"Cao Ni Ma, do you think we are vegetarians?"
"It's just that he will be a hero for a few more years than us, so what's the point?"
"Brothers, beat him!"
On the TV, two groups of people dressed in strange shapes were heard yelling at each other. After a while, they started pushing and shoving violently. At this moment, the powder keg was instantly ignited, and the two groups started fighting fiercely.
"Dear audience friends, you can see the situation on the streets through the camera. The heroes of the Hero Association and the heroes of the New Hero Association came to have a PK in the Imperial City. The reason was just because of the credit attribution issue of a wolf-level weirdo. The new hero originally When the association was established, we viewers happily believed that the two associations would have healthy competition, common development, and concerted efforts. However, these days, the heroes of the two associations have clashed several times in a row, and even once. Allowing weirdos to escape, citizens being injured for no reason, and other accidents, we the general public urgently appeal to the leaders of the two associations to negotiate and handle the conflicts between heroes, and do not let us taxpayers shed blood and tears... "
"A fight started?"
King looked at the two groups of heroes on TV and shook his head. The emergence of the new hero association has indeed enhanced the power of heroes in more than twenty cities, making it more efficient to eliminate monster disasters. However, the conflicts between heroes have also become more and more intense. serious.
I heard that the government kept calling on the two major hero associations to calm down. After discovering that their calls were ineffective, they even threatened the two associations, saying that if they still insisted on going their own way and made the situation ugly, their government would forcibly ban the two major associations and collect the heroes. Under the government, a hero department was re-established.
This proposal of the government has been supported by many citizens. They must admit that their previous ideas were too naive and overestimated the dedication of the heroes.
In this situation, only by rejoining an association and determining a leader can the heroes act in unison and reduce conflicts with each other. However, it is impossible for both the Heroes Association and the new Heroes Association to succumb to each other. Therefore, only a tough one can emerge. Only with a third party can it be possible to unify both parties.
The government naturally became the best choice!
…
“What does government mean?”
At the high-level meeting of the Hero Association, a group of high-level officials were having an emergency meeting. The government just called them and said that they hoped that they would seriously consider the idea of merging into a government agency.
"They clearly want to swallow up our organization."
"What does the New Hero Association mean?"
"Can't you see? The New Heroes Association is basically an organization supported by the government to set up to fight against us. Perhaps the ongoing hero conflicts are also part of the planning of the government's damn politicians, with the purpose of forcing our association to become a lackey of the government. "
The senior officials were cursing and extremely dissatisfied with the government. In order to resist the monster disaster, they founded the Heroes Association from scratch. They experienced many difficulties and saved citizens from danger many times. However, when their association grew, The government, which has been a bystander for many years, suddenly takes action to pick peaches? No one would agree with this situation.
"If we don't agree, how can we explain it to the citizens?"
Xiqi sighed: "At the beginning, there was only one Hero Association, and everything could be discussed. However, after there was a new Hero Association, troubles came one after another."
"The latest news is that the New Heroes Association has agreed to the government's proposal for a win-win merger."
Coulson said silently.
"These bastards!"
The senior officials were shocked. The New Heroes Association was so shameless. The government had just proposed, and they agreed without hesitation, without even thinking about it. They were obviously wearing the same pants as the government.
"If the merger is hung under the government department, I am afraid that all of you here will lose your jobs."
Marcoi said angrily: "The current situation is very clear. The New Heroes Association and the government are on the same side. If the two major associations merge, in the election of high-level positions... The people of the New Heroes Association have the support of the government. Basically, we They cannot compete with each other, which is probably why the New Hero Association group is willing to merge. This is not a merger, it is simply an annexation."
"If we don't agree, what should we do?"
As soon as this issue came up, all the senior officials were silent. It was indeed very difficult. The citizens' voices were so high, and they urgently hoped that the two major associations would come under the leadership of the government, conduct unified command, and act in a unified manner to avoid the situation of being at war with each other.
"The citizens are too fickle. They supported the establishment of the New Heroes Association at the beginning and talked about a two-pronged approach. However, just a short time later, they changed their minds and let our two associations merge. What's even more annoying is that we accepted the government's lead."
Speaking of which, the New Heroes Association was also established with the support of the citizens. However, not long after, the citizens went back on their word and preferred the position of an association.
"Perhaps this is also the result of the government's secret operation. Public opinion is a gun. It is in the hands of the government at this time. It can hit whoever it wants. It doesn't care whether you are a good person or not. Anyway, the gun is pointed at you. Even if you are a good person. At this time, he is also the bad guy in their mouth."
"Don't digress, we have pushed the government to the edge of the cliff, let's discuss the solution!"
The senior executives looked at each other.
Marcoi said slowly: "First of all, I want to ask everyone, do you want to merge?"
"Nonsense, who of us is willing to watch our years of hard work go away?"
The senior executives shook their heads in unison.
"Then, the situation is very clear. We must choose to reject the government's proposal." Marco Yi said with a smile: "The problem now is how to reject the government skillfully, so that the government has nothing to say and the citizens are impeccable. "
"Director Marcoi, please finish it in one go!"
The top management eagerly urged Marco Yi, "Stop being so pretentious."
"The first thing to hit the target is that none of us here can easily come forward to reject the government. At that time, there was someone in our association who was very suitable to be our spokesperson..."
Marcoi smiled slightly.
"Huh? You mean?"
The senior executives are all smart people, and they understand Marco Yi's words instantly.
"King?"
Xiqi frowned.
In the Hero Association, there are two heroes who are extremely popular among the citizens. One is a popular idol and the image of the association - the sexy prisoner, er, I made a mistake, Sweetheart Mask. The other is of course a heroic role model, and is like a god in the eyes of the citizens. The man—king!
However, for the current matter, Sweetheart Mask is not qualified. First, he is only an A-level hero. Second, his status as a popular idol is a star. For serious matters such as dialogue with the government, star status is too cheap.
Therefore, the spokesperson can only be a king!
"Yes, I think the king will understand our painstaking efforts!"
Marcoi smiled.
"Well?"
The senior executives looked at each other, whispered to each other for a while, and then nodded, "I second the proposal."
"I agree."
"King is the best choice."
"well!"
Xiqi sighed slightly and said, "I don't have any objection either."
…
G city.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, those wimps in the government seem to be playing a good hand!"
The general looked at the government building not far away and smiled slightly, "It seems that I took a peek at these politicians. They are indeed extremely talented in being evil."
"General, you said that the Hero Association will not surrender to the government because of this. If that is the case, then does our plan need to proceed normally?"
Chuck asked respectfully.
"Of course, I have always believed that only our great plan can completely control the weird disasters in the world and allow the citizens to return to the peaceful days of the past."
The general's eyes were slightly fanatical, "Chuck, once we succeed, we will become a great figure in history."
"My subordinates congratulate the general in advance on your success!"
Chuck flattered.
"Oh, let's not mention this matter for now, let the government and others mess around, but Chuck, why hasn't Shadow taken action to assassinate the king?"
The general looked sideways at the respectful Chuck, "It's been so many days and he hasn't made any movement. Could it be that he's scared?"
"This... maybe, after all, he is facing a king. Any killer will feel uneasy and fearful."
Chuck shook his head.
"If you speak ill of someone behind their back, be careful to have their tongue cut out!"
A cold voice sounded faintly in the hall.
"film?"
Chuck exclaimed.
"Haha, you are really unaware of the enemy!" The general laughed loudly, "He is indeed the number one killer."
"Thanks for the compliment!"
The shadow under the corner swayed slightly, indicating the shadow's position. However, his voice was neither salty nor cool, and he was obviously not interested in the general's compliment.
"Ying, why are you here this time? Is it for money?"
Chuck asked that he didn't take any money last time, maybe because he was not sure whether he could assassinate the king, so he wanted to observe the king's living conditions in advance. The result should be there now.
"Money? No need."
Ying replied coldly, "King, I will kill him!"
"Then what are you doing here this time?"
Chuck glanced at the shadows under the corner in confusion.
"I just want to tell you that I hope you will maintain twenty-hour communication in the past few days. I will have good news to tell you then, Jie Jie!!"
A burst of strange laughter sounded, the shadow in the corner flickered, and the sound suddenly stopped.
"Hopefully it's good news!"
The general turned back to the government building.
