In addition, having saved the entire city of Z, Lin Qing was destined to become famous, not to mention people in other cities.
In Z city alone, a large portion of the population has elevated Lin Qing to a god-like status.
Below the video on the internet, there are numerous comments from residents:
[Ah, he's so handsome! Lin Qing is so handsome, and his strength is so great too. Why didn't I discover him sooner?]
Wow, Lin Qing's search was so powerful! He protected the entire Z City. From today onwards, I'm a fan of Lin Qing.
[Without further ado, this is a tribute from a die-hard fan: Lin Qing is the most handsome and the strongest man in the world.]
With a flood of positive reviews, Lin Qing's popularity is rapidly increasing.
Sweet Mask, who had just finished an interview, was holding the latest newspaper, and the headline on the front page was a picture of Lin Qing releasing a protective shield.
"S-class hero Lin Qing launched a powerful attack, destroying the meteorite and protecting the entire Z City from harm, with no one killed or injured."

"Hehe, as expected, Lin Qing, I didn't misjudge you."
"Ring ring! Ring ring!" Sweet Mask answered the ringing phone with a smile.
"Okay, I understand, I agree, okay." (Hangs up the phone.)
"From eighteenth to thirteenth, hehe." Sweet Mask grinned broadly.
Three days later.
Z City avoided the catastrophic impact of the giant meteorite. The meteor shower was blocked by S-class hero Lin Qing, and there were no casualties in the entire city.
The news was playing on TV. Saitama was lying on the floor reading comics, Lin Qing was reading a novel on the sofa, and only Genos was watching the news.
"Hey, has our ranking gone up?" Saitama suddenly sat up and asked.
Lin Qing wasn't sure either: "I don't know. I've been staying home every day these past few days and haven't gone out."
Genos was somewhat pleased: "Yes, it's risen."
"I rose from seventeenth to fifteenth in S-rank, and Metal Knight also rose from seventh to sixth in S-rank."
"Lin Qing, your ranking has risen from 18th to 13th in the S-level, while yours, Teacher, has risen from 342nd in the C-level to 2nd. You've risen a lot in one go."
"The two of you?" Saitama was deeply shocked.
"What's so strange about going from 342 to 2? That's really weird!"
Lin Qing said, "The Hero Association probably thinks I contributed the most, then Genos and the others assisted. As for you, Saitama, it's good that you're ranked second."
"Of course, if you go to the Hero Association and beat up Tornado, the second-ranked S-class hero, you'll definitely be promoted to S-class immediately." Lin Qing laughed as he spoke.
"Boom!" The door suddenly burst open and slammed towards Lin Qing, accompanied by a delicate shout.
"You said you wanted to beat me up? Fine, I'll beat you up first."
Lin Qing immediately stood up, and with a thought, the fragments of the gate stopped moving.
"An enemy?" Genos immediately became fully alert.
At that moment, a petite woman with a loli-like face, wearing a black slit dress, flew in from outside the door.
"Don't think you can stop me just because you can withstand a meteorite!" Tornado immediately manipulated the things inside the house to prepare to bombard Lin Qing.
"Ahem, little girl, you're a girl, don't be so violent."
Lin Qing immediately used his divine sense to isolate the tornado's superpowers, and then slowly put the things in the room down.
"Huh? Impossible, my, my superpowers aren't working anymore?" Tornado's expression changed drastically when she saw that her powers had failed.
However, she quickly realized what she meant and said angrily, "Hey, you annoying guy, who are you calling a little girl? I'm much older than you."
"Are you sure? I'm over a hundred years old." Lin Qing looked at Long Juan with a mocking expression.
"Hmph, nonsense! You, you look to be at most twenty years old, and you still want to fool me? Believe me or not, I'll summon a meteorite to smash you to death!" Tornado said angrily.
"Hey, no, don't do it. A gentleman uses words, not fists. Tornado, we're not here to fight." The blond man walked in from outside with two secretaries.
The blond man was terrified when the tornado made its move, and he rushed in to stop it as soon as he came to his senses.
"Hmph! Who told this guy to say he was going to beat me up?" Tornado turned her head away, still fuming.
Lin Qing smiled awkwardly but politely and said, "Well, I was just talking nonsense. How about this, I'll treat you to cake, okay?"
Immediately, Lin Qing produced one of the few cakes made by Sanji and handed it to Tornado.
Perhaps girls have no resistance to sweets, because as soon as Tornado reached out, the cake slipped from her hand and was caught by her.
"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you." With that, Tornado licked the cream off the cake with a smug look on her face.
"Ah, this is so delicious! Well, I'll reluctantly forgive you." Then she ate it with a grin.
"Well, it's good that you forgive me, phew!" The blond man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qing smiled and shook her head, then looked at the blond man and asked, "Um, who are you?"
"Hello, Mr. Lin Qing, I am Kur from the Hero Association (I couldn't find the blond man's name, so I just made one up)." The blond man Kur quickly extended his hand and said.
"Oh, hello, is there anything I can do for you this time?" Lin Qing said, covering her hands.
“Mr. Lin, we’re here to deliver the reward for completing the mission to you.” Kur took a file folder from his secretary.
Inside was a cell phone and a bank card. Kur said, "The password for this bank card is 123456. There are five million in it, which is the reward for this."
"And this mobile phone is for easy communication."
"Uh, I accept it, but for such a small matter, you didn't need to come all the way here!" He glanced at Tornado as he spoke.
Tornado rolled her eyes at Lin Qing, snorted irritably, and continued eating her cake.
"Five, five million???" Saitama was shocked beyond words; the impact of five million on him was enormous.
“Um, Mr. Lin Qing, when you joined the company, you didn’t leave your bank card or contact information. Just like with this meteorite incident, we couldn’t reach you.”
"Fortunately, you found out about it and ultimately saved the entire city of Z," Kur quickly explained.
Lin Qing smiled and thanked them, saying, "Yes, I didn't leave my contact information. Thank you for making the trip."
Indeed, Lin Qing didn't keep any of these things because he didn't have an ID card, so how could he open a bank account? Besides, he hadn't even thought about doing so.
As for a mobile phone, he had no idea, after all, he had just come from the world of fantasy.
Kur whispered, "As for Miss Tornado, well, she wanted to come along herself, saying she wanted to see you."
"Bang!" A comic book hit Kur on the head.
Tornado retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn't begged me to come, would I have come to this wretched place? It's so small, it's not even as big as my toilet!"
"Hmph! I'm going back." With that, Tornado turned and flew away. Once in the sky, she glanced at her surroundings and muttered to herself:
"There's still half a cake left. It's so delicious, Fubuki will definitely love it." With that, she flew away with a big smile on her face.
Kur rubbed his head and said with a wry smile, "Well, that's just how Miss Tornado is. Please don't take offense, Mr. Lin Qing." The two female secretaries behind him covered their mouths and chuckled.
Lin Qing laughed and said, "It's alright, I don't mind. Tornado is such an interesting little girl."
"Uh, yes, then, Mr. Lin Qing, we won't bother you any longer!" Kur didn't know what to say, because Tornado was already over thirty years old.
Chapter 402 Big Shopping Spree (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend!)
Lin Qing looked to be only in her early twenties, and calling her "Little Tornado" seemed strange to Kur, but he was just an ordinary person and couldn't care less.
Then, he left with two secretaries, leaving behind only the broken apartment door.
Saitama, having recovered from the shock of the five million yen, looked at the shattered door, feeling utterly devastated.
Lin Qing said, "Why are you looking so long-faced? Just let Genos install a door for you."
"Teacher, I'll go install the new gate right away. I'm going to buy the materials," Genos said and ran out.
"Okay." Saitama immediately resumed his blank expression and lay back down to read the comics.
Lin Qing shook his head and walked towards the door, saying, "Alright, I'm going out now. I'll be back later and treat you to a big meal."
"Okay, then hurry back, I'll be waiting." Upon hearing about the big meal, Saitama immediately perked up.
Lin Qing appeared at the entrance of a large supermarket in Z City. With five million yen, Lin Qing was going to do a big shopping spree.
Five million Japanese yen is equivalent to about 300,000 Chinese yuan, which is neither a lot nor a small amount.
Lin Qing murmured, "Let's buy some things first, but I still need to go back to China to see what it's like there."
It's important to know that their planet is Earth, but it's unclear why the city in this island nation is named using all 26 letters of the alphabet.
I looked up the distribution of countries around the world online, and the results were just a few sentences introducing the countries and their development history, just like in the real world.
However, the most important thing now is to do the shopping. Lin Qing doesn't have many seasonings left, so she needs to stock up on some snacks and the like.
Just as Lin Qing was about to enter the supermarket, suddenly, a figure blocked her way.
"Ah, you really are Lin Qing, the thirteenth-ranked S-class Lin Qing, the Lin Qing who saved our Z City." The cute girl in front of her looked at Lin Qing with an excited expression.
Instantly, the surrounding crowd's attention was drawn to him. When they saw Lin Qing, their eyes lit up and they became excited.
Lin Qing smiled, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, and said, "That's right, I am Lin Qing. You know me?"
Most of the time, Lin Qing was sleeping, reading anime or novels, or eating; he hardly ever went online, so it was quite unexpected.
"Lin Qing, thank you for saving me and saving Z City. I'm your fan, please sign your autograph for me." The cute girl excitedly handed over the pen.
[My God, it really is Lin Qing, it's Lin Qing!]
[Lin Qing? Who is Lin Qing?] A bald middle-aged man who came to Z City on a business trip was very puzzled.
[Lin Qing, the newly promoted S-class hero, is the super hero who saved our Z City.]
"Ah, Lin Qing, I want to have your babies, you're so handsome!"
The surrounding crowd immediately surrounded Lin Qing, and in no time, they had completely surrounded him.
Eighty percent of the crowd were women, a beautiful bunch, which made Lin Qing extremely happy. You see, even ordinary passersby in anime are beautiful women.
