Saitama slowly put down the little girl she had saved, a slight smile playing on her lips. She stood up and said, her face instantly returning to its blank expression.
"I am a hero because I'm passionate about it."
He was bald, wore a white cloak, a yellow shirt and pants, red gloves and boots, and a black belt with a gold disc in the middle.
Saitama, the strongest person in the entire world and the entire universe.
After three years of training, I did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day without fail.
Even in the cold winter and hot summer, it's incredibly unbearable not to turn on the air conditioner.
It granted him unparalleled strength. However, in return, he lost all his hair, and even emotions like fear began to fade.
One-Punch Man doesn't mean he can only throw one punch; rather, it means he can defeat his enemy with a single punch, hence the name One-Punch Man.
"What? That kind of arbitrary setting?"
"The vaccine humans are born because of repeated environmental pollution by humans. The Earth is a living organism, and you humans are just bacteria that erode the Earth."
"The will of the Earth gave me life in order to destroy the hateful humans and the harmful civilization they have created." The Vaccine Man roared with boundless rage.
Furthermore, tiny tendrils grew all over the vaccine recipient's body, and the entire body began to rapidly swell.
It transformed directly into a creature tens of meters tall, with enormous fangs and exceptionally sharp claws—this was the Asura mode of the Vaccine Man.
"And you say it's 'out of interest'? How dare you use such a reason to oppose me, an apostle of Earth! Humanity should indeed be condemned."
The voice of Vaccine Man, known as the strongest Dragon-level monster, abruptly stopped.
"Boom!" Saitama's light punch turned Vaccine Man into a pile of minced meat.
The powerful vaccine recipient was reduced to green blood and bits of flesh, which fell to the ground.
"It's happening again. He finished it off with just one punch. Damn it!" Saitama, looking resentful, knelt down on the ground, furious at his own overwhelming strength.
Before long, Saitama vanished in a flash, seemingly heading home.
Lin Qing smiled and shook his head. There was actually someone who was annoyed by his strength. Saitama was probably the first person to do so.
Looking at the injured people around him who were still groaning in pain, Lin Qing didn't think much of it. He waved his hand towards the sky, and a green halo immediately shone out in all directions.
[It hurts so much! I'm dying! Someone please save me! Hey, what's this?]
"Ah, it feels so good, my wounds are all healed."
[Huh? My injuries are healed too. Could it be because of this green aura?]
[My God, my foot was pierced by a steel bar, but it miraculously pulled out on its own and healed completely.]
All the injured people around, as long as they were still breathing, were completely healed by Lin Qing's healing technique.
It wasn't just them who recovered, but the entire disaster area. Since Lin Qing happened to be there, it was just a matter of helping out.
"I'm hungry, let's see if there's anything good to eat here." Lin Qing chuckled, and his figure vanished instantly.
"Alas, have the vaccine humans been wiped out?" A smiling male hero got up from the ground.
"It should be true. Look, this halo has healed us all," the Ultimate Lightning Hero said in surprise.
A bird-beaked hero pointed to a pile of purple, mangled flesh in the distance and said, "That, that's the Vaccine Man? He was beaten up like this?"
Because City A had just been extensively damaged by the vaccine perpetrators, there were very few restaurants open in the entire city.
Lin Qing then arrived in D City, which was not far from A City. Lin Qing was too lazy to travel far. Although he had teleportation, he still preferred to walk.
Lin Qing walked into a large supermarket. He planned to buy some instant noodles, and the thought of their taste made him crave them.
There are so many varieties, including soy sauce ramen, chicken soy sauce ramen, scallion oil ramen, and salt ramen.
Lin Qing counted and found that there were more than twenty kinds of instant noodles and mixed noodles. Lin Qing immediately took a pack of each kind to try the taste first, and would stock up on the ones that tasted good.
Holding the instant noodles, Lin Qing went to the cashier, placed them on the counter, and said, "Auntie, please pay."
The cashier smiled and said, "Young man, you're buying so many instant noodles? Eating too many instant noodles isn't good for you! That'll be 4,350 yen in total."
"Would you like to buy some more milk? It's on special today!"

"No need, I don't like drinking pure milk. Four thousand three hundred and fifty yen, uh, I think..." Lin Qing suddenly realized he didn't have any money, and then he felt awkward.
"Young man, four thousand three hundred and fifty yen!" the cashier lady said again.
"Uh, well, eating too much instant noodles isn't good for you, so I won't buy any," Lin Qing said, slightly embarrassed.
The cashier looked at him suspiciously: "Young man, you don't mean you don't have the money to buy it, do you?"
"Check out!" a voice came from behind, and a basket containing some discounted items was placed on the cashier's counter.
Lin Qing glanced to the side and was surprised to see Saitama. What a coincidence!
Saitama, looking dazed, said to Lin Qing, "You're not buying these instant noodles, are you? Let me pay the bill."
"Okay, okay, you can pay the bill first!" Lin Qing moved a step to make room for him.
The cashier looked at her with disdain, thinking to herself, "Such a handsome young man is actually a poor wretch. What a pity."
He casually swept all the instant noodles into the basket under the cashier, and then began to count the items Saitama had purchased.
"Four hundred and eighty-two yen." The cashier skillfully packed the items into a plastic bag.
Saitama took out his small green wallet, took out a 500 yen coin and handed it over, saying, "Wait a moment, I have change."
"Boom!" Suddenly a loud noise was heard, the earth shook, the supermarket began to shake, and the lights above began to flicker.
"Here you go, eighty-two yuan." At this moment, Saitama handed over the change he had found. However, the supermarket, which had just been packed with people, was suddenly deserted.
Oh, wait, Lin Qing is still right next to Saitama, looking completely bewildered.
"What a coincidence!" As soon as Lin Qing spread his divine sense, he discovered a giant that was more than two thousand meters tall.
The older brother, Falkor, developed a drug that he gave to his younger brother, Margley, which transformed him into a colossal giant with immense power.
Disaster level: Demon level, Strength level: Dragon level.
Although Margley became so powerful, his intelligence decreased in its place.
When his older brother Foggao ordered his younger brother Margley to kill Saitama, who was standing on the other side of his shoulder, he ended up killing his older brother Foggao instead.
"Boom!" The scene inside the supermarket went dark, and then sunlight instantly filled it.
Lin Qing turned her head and saw that the supermarket walls had disappeared. Qi Yu walked out and stared blankly outside.
A giant footprint appeared in City B, hundreds of meters long, and countless houses and people disappeared under it.
"Amazing, truly amazing, little brother! I never imagined you'd reach such a level!" The older brother stood on his giant younger brother's shoulders, his face beaming with excitement.
“Yes, beyond imagination, brother,” said the giant brother.
Seemingly to demonstrate his power, the giant brother swung his arm at the city below, and the powerful gust of wind from the punch destroyed a large area of the city.
"That's fantastic, little brother! Tens of thousands of people were wiped out just now. Great! Let's clean up the surrounding cities too!" The older brother was extremely excited.
"Ah, brother, this is it, this is the strongest power I've been searching for," the giant brother's hoarse voice rang out.
Saitama turned to Lin Qing and said, "It's dangerous here. You should go and take refuge!" With that, he soared into the sky and disappeared.
With Lin Qing's eyesight, he could clearly see that Saitama's figure appeared on the left shoulder of the giant's younger brother.
"Oh, that's great! Supermarket supplies? I'll accept them without hesitation, even though it's a bit impolite. Next time, I'll definitely buy them with money!"
Lin Qing chuckled and with a wave of his hand, he stuffed all the instant noodles, snacks, and drinks in the supermarket into his sleeve.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing went behind the counter and, against his conscience, pocketed all the Japanese yen inside.
"I'm protecting the money from damage; I'm doing a good deed." Lin Qing walked out of the supermarket with a full 80,000 yen, feeling at ease.
He turned around and gently pressed his palm down on the supermarket. "Boom!" The entire supermarket was flattened.
"Why are we ordinary folks so happy today?" Lin Qing swayed and walked away.
While drinking his beverage, Lin Qing used his divine sense to observe the situation on the giant's side. Suddenly, Lin Qing saw something good.
The older brother was holding a test tube with a tiny bit of medicine left inside, and the medicine had an unusually strange color.
There's no escaping it; this potion will turn an ordinary person's younger brother into a giant with dragon-level strength.
Lin Qing became interested and decided to get his hands on the potion. Immediately, he teleported towards the giant.
Just as he appeared next to his older brother Falkor, the giant brother's enormous hand slammed down, and it seemed that the giant brother was going to kill his older brother.
Lin Qing quickly swung his right fist and smashed it. "Bang!" The giant's arm was directly blasted apart, and a large amount of blood splattered out, turning into a rain of blood.
"Ah, my hand, my hand! How could the strongest man like me have his arm broken?" The giant's younger brother looked on in disbelief.
"You, you..." The older brother, Fokker, was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word.
Lin Qing ignored it and simply grabbed the test tube. There wasn't much medicine left, just a tiny bit, so Lin Qing put it directly into his storage space.
For some reason, Lin Qing felt an increasing urge to collect rare and exotic treasures; the more precious and unusual something was, the more he wanted to possess it.
"Could this be due to the dragon race's genes? You know, dragons are known for their penchant for collecting treasures," Lin Qing thought to himself.
However, Lin Qing didn't think it was a bad thing. Anyway, Lin Qing quite liked it. Who doesn't like treasures? Even if he might not use them, it was still pleasing to the eye.
"Ah, you're the one who couldn't afford instant noodles. I didn't expect you to be so amazing." Saitama said, pointing at Lin Qing in a daze.
Lin Qing remained noncommittal: "Well, it's not that I don't have the money to buy it, it's that I don't want to eat instant noodles."
Saitama: "No, you just don't have the money to buy it. Instant noodles are so delicious, how could you not want to eat them? Don't lie to me, I'm educated."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. You can have this guy. I'm leaving now." Lin Qing didn't want to talk to Saitama about his lack of money anymore, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"Wow, that's amazing. He's already in another city in no time." Saitama's blank expression finally changed a little.
For him, no matter how powerful someone is, they can't compare to him, so it doesn't matter. But Lin Qing's instantaneous teleportation that far away, in Saitama's eyes, means he's faster than him, which is what makes him stronger.

"Brother, brother, kill him, kill him, the man on your shoulder!" the older brother, Fokko, urged hurriedly as soon as he realized what was happening.
