"Oh? You're already second." Lin Qing completely ignored Blast. He was just a minor character anyway, probably not even appearing in the manga yet!
"I didn't expect you to be second in S-class, Genos. Has my ranking improved?" Saitama looked at Genos expectantly.
"Maybe the teacher is a B-rank hero, so there was no notification. I'll check online." With that, Genos opened his phone and started searching.
A moment later, he looked up and said happily, "Teacher, your ranking has improved to seventh place in grade B."
"Oh, seventh place!" Saitama was also a little happy.
Since the other S-class heroes were all present, there were basically no major changes, except that Lin Qing alone moved up to second place.
Suddenly, several drones landed outside the window. Genos said, "A message has arrived. I'll go down and get it."
"Yes!" The two nodded in agreement.
Lin Qing didn't react much, but Saitama was unusually excited, thinking that there must be letters from fans.
A short while later, Genos came in carrying ten boxes of envelopes.
Genos joked, "Teacher, these are all letters from fans. Looks like you have fans now!"
"Really?" Saitama's face lit up with joy, and he began to flip through the pages.
"Hey, Genos? Genos? This whole box is full of yours, Genos." Saitama held up an envelope filled with words of admiration for Genos.
Genos said confidently, "Really? There are ten boxes in total. This one should be mine. The other boxes must contain the teacher's letters."
Saitama's face lit up with joy again, and he began to look through Saitama's letters.
Lin Qing glanced at the two of them, ignored them, and continued to lie on the sofa watching anime.
“Lin Qing, Lin Qing, golden glow, this whole box is for Lin Qing.” Qi Yu’s face fell.
"Oh? Really? There's even a letter for me?" Lin Qing immediately became interested and picked up the letter to read it.
What catches the eye are cute little expressions, lots of hearts, and even a big picture of her own face on top.
Hmm! Quite cute. The rest of them wrote about how handsome and powerful Lin Qing is, and how they want to have his babies.
Looking through the rest, they were all similar, but Lin Qing didn't find them cheesy. She just kept reading them one by one, throwing away the ones from the men without even touching them.
“There are still eight boxes left. I’ll help the teacher look for them too.” Genos quickly started looking through the letters in the remaining boxes.
"No, the rest of these were written for Lin Qing." A dejected Qi Yu slumped onto the floor.
"Well, maybe the teacher isn't that famous yet. If he defeats more powerful monsters, he'll definitely gain fans," Genos comforted Saitama.
"Wow, this is so cute. Hey, not bad, this even has a full-body photo. Wow, it's even better than Fubuki's figure. Tsk tsk tsk." Lin Qing kept admiring it.
Suddenly, Lin Qing sensed a murderous aura. He caught a glimpse of Qi Yu out of the corner of his eye and immediately said, "Hey, put it away. They're all written the same way. It's meaningless."
With a wave of her hand, she put everything except the envelope the man had written into her storage space, and then continued to lie on the sofa and play.
Genos quickly changed the subject: "Teacher, how about we have hot pot for dinner tonight!"
"Hot pot? Great!" Lin Qing immediately slapped his thigh and quickly expressed his agreement.
Lin Qing hadn't had hot pot in ages. He hadn't eaten it since leaving the Marvel universe, it seemed like several years.
"You two go and buy some base sauce, seasonings, and some cooked products like beef balls. Leave the rest to me."
Lin Qing didn't prepare any hot pot base or ingredients, so it's perfect, he can bring some with him when he goes out tomorrow.
After Saitama and Genos left, Lin Qing immediately went to the kitchen and began preparing some side dishes and meat.
To create the feeling of hot pot, Lin Qing wanted to cut the meat into slices. Lin Qing also had a big appetite, so he cut two red pigs and a few monsters' pieces of meat.
This is a huge project; it could take several hours.
Saitama and Genos walked down the street, carrying several large bags of hot pot essentials.
They also knew Lin Qing's appetite.
As the two passed by a shop window, Saitama suddenly stopped because he saw a figure of KG, the seventh S-class hero, displayed inside.
Saitama: "Wow! Once someone becomes popular, this kind of thing still appears. I'm so envious. They can even release figures of them."
"Let's call the manufacturer and ask them!" Genos immediately took out his phone and started dialing.
"No need, it's pointless to bring this up yourself." Saitama waved his hand to stop him and continued walking forward.
Unbeknownst to them, KG, wearing a baseball cap, discreetly passed by behind them.
"Ahh!"
"What is that?" the crowd in front exclaimed.
"Hehehehe, you liked reptiles too much and became a reptile yourself. Long-tongued Lord, here you come!" the long-tongued monster said in an unusually lewd manner.
As time progressed like an anime storyline, KG revealed to Saitama that he was a weakling. By this time, Saitama had already saved him several times.
Even the monster that caused the scar on his face was killed by Saitama, who saved KG. In the end, the two became good friends who often played games together.
Of course, Lin Qing was unaware of all this; he was still at home diligently making meat slices.
He had already finished making three red boars, and only the meat of a few other demon beasts and spirit cabbage remained.
"We're back!" Genos and Saitama came in, having changed their shoes and carrying bags.
"There are still two hours until dinner time, and I haven't finished making my sliced meat yet. Why don't you wash the side dishes?" Lin Qing thought to herself, and suddenly all kinds of vegetables appeared in the living room.
Two hours later, on the roof of the apartment building.
A large pot has been set up, surrounded by slices of meat, just waiting for the soup to boil.
Chapter 414 Hungry Wolf (Please subscribe, vote for monthly tickets, and recommend this chapter)
Inside the multi-functional hall on the seventh floor of the newly renovated Hero Association headquarters.
"I am Sitch, the captain of the Hero Association's 'Earth is in Danger Prophecy' Emergency Response Team."
"First of all, you are all people involved in triads, thank you for responding to our call."
"Let me make this clear first: this event doesn't care about your criminal history or what you did before."
Sicchi pointed to the people behind him and said, "This is not a trap. These heroes next to me are my guards."
A strange man with an X-shaped scar on his face and his face covered in rings said disdainfully, "A hero? Perfect, watch me kill him!"
Sitch completely ignored him and said to himself, "As long as you don't cause trouble, they won't bother you."
The heroes at the back looked down at the people below, feeling quite dissatisfied.
"Top-tier assassins who specialize in targeting high-bounty targets, and even fugitives, are being summoned to headquarters. What is Sitch thinking?"
The seventh-ranked A-class hero, the Magician, said expressionlessly.
Fifth-ranked A-level hero, Heavy Chariot Crotch Cloth: "Although I don't know why these people were called here, they really dare to show up so brazenly."
The sixth-ranked A-level hero, Qingyan: "If they dare to mess around, I'll nerf them."
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd below.
"Where is the hero named Saitama? Isn't he here at headquarters?"
Sitch was puzzled: "Hmm? Who are you? Sorry, let's talk about unrelated topics later! I have something to say right now."
"He's not here, then it's fine." Sonic turned around and prepared to leave.
Qingyan pointed at Sonic and said, "You left without even wanting to hear anything. Now that you're here, you're not allowed to back out at the last minute."
"The incidence of disasters at the Tiger level and above is abnormally high. This month's incidence is six times the average of the past three years. This is the work of a great prophet."
"Whether you're good or bad, as long as you can fight, your power is what humanity needs. I refuse." Sonic tossed some documents into the air and said.
Sitch was very flustered, thinking, "When did he get his hands on these unsealed documents?"
"Playing hero games with you guys makes me feel disgusted." And that's how Sonic the Hedgehog left us.
Before the gangsters below could react, the three heroes present could no longer tolerate it.
Qingyan questioned, "Is this true? Seeking help from this group of scum, is this the association's decision?"
Sitch said loudly, "Yes, only by uniting as one can humanity overcome the current situation, and the heroes currently on the list."
"390 C-rank, 102 B-rank, 38 A-rank, and 18 S-rank are clearly not enough. We're not just talking; we'll pay the corresponding reward as long as you defeat the monster."
Crotch Cloth looked at him with disdain: "Forget it, it's a waste of money. When it really comes down to it, none of these guys are any good."
A figure leaped onto the stage from below, saying provocatively, "I can't tolerate this. If we're talking about killing, I've killed more than any of you. Want to try?"
"You bastard, you have no conviction." One slap was enough to instantly kill the provocateur.
The guys below, however, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they became even more excited.
Sitch looked at the loincloth with a troubled expression: "But..."
"Hey, you're right, absolutely right. That's amazing! This great prophecy says that an unprecedented disaster of 'god-like' magnitude will occur."
“Just as the uncle said, even if everyone here attacked me together, they absolutely could not kill me.” The man in the black bodysuit, with white hair and unusually sharp eyes, stared at the people above him.
Sitch: "Huh? Who are you?"
"I am Garou, a practitioner who admires monsters, the man who has destroyed countless dojos! Hey! What's wrong? Everyone, bring it on!"
"Let's see who's the strongest. That's why I came here," Garou challenged everyone present.
Sitch ignored the hungry wolf: "Stop it, this is boring. Forget about it and go back!"
The ravenous wolf snarled, "Boring? Is this how you treat your guests? Righteous sir, I've decided to punish these cowards, carry out my evil intentions, and slaughter the party."
Knowing that the other party was there to cause trouble, Sitch said, "You three, sorry, I'm at work. Get out of here."
"It would be my honor." The magician took the lead.
He brandished his magic wand and attacked Garou directly, but the next second, Garou's hands had already grabbed Magician's neck.
The result was completely unexpected. No one saw it clearly, and the situation reversed in an instant. The magician was coughing up blood and had lost consciousness.
"Boom!" The cloak slammed its fist on the floor, but the hungry wolf had already dodged it without anyone noticing.
"Hey, are you even swinging your fist with any real conviction, old man?" the hungry wolf mocked.
The man in the loincloth looked shocked. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Looking down, he saw that his arm was bent into a pretzel shape.
