Chapter 629 What are you looking at?
Genos was able to become famous in one battle and directly become S-level, thanks to a well-known big boss behind the scenes in the early days, the House of Evolution!
However, a famous villain organization like the House of Evolution does not just exist.
Besides, the House of Evolution has been destroyed by Saitama and Genos, and now if you go there to look for it, you can only see ruins.
Of course, even if it hadn't been destroyed, he wouldn't have the strength to solo the House of Evolution. After all, the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle that was finally blown up by Saitama's punch was definitely a dragon-level power.
So after thinking for a while, Xia Yu decided to take part in the hero assessment and start from the bottom of the hierarchy.
When the Hero Association was first established, except for a very small number of S-class heroes, most of them were inconspicuous among many heroes. They became S-class after attracting attention, rather than being S-class from the beginning.
Today, the Hero Association has become a mature force, and it is almost a household name .
Therefore, the Hero Association no longer needs to actively look for heroes and invite them to join them. Instead, they will conduct hero assessments at regular intervals and let the heroes take the initiative to join them.
Although being a hero may seem more mercenary when it becomes a profession, it will at least make more capable people willing to stand up and protect the people.
Moreover, the heroes who previously had no organization and fought on their own can now provide assistance more conveniently and efficiently under the organization of the association, and can also receive generous rewards without having to worry about food and accommodation.
So even though there is corruption and darkness within the Hero Association, overall, the existence of the Hero Association does more good than harm to the people.
Since being a hero has become a profession, all things related to heroes have formed into positions, including screening and assessment and so on.
Hero assessments are generally held regularly, and a total of six special venues for hero identification tests have been set up to recruit new talents from the society.
In order to register as an official hero as soon as possible to complete the emergency task, Xia Yu rushed to the nearest special venue for the hero certification test almost non-stop.
A huge spherical venue was located here, with security personnel armed with real guns patrolling the perimeter, and flags flying everywhere were printed with the logo of a soaring eagle, the emblem of the Hero Association.
At the entrance, there were a group of strong men or people wearing strange costumes. They were the heroes who were preparing to take the test here.
The heroes in this world are all very distinctive, just like cosplay in the normal world, because only in this way can ordinary people remember them.
In this world, the fame of a hero is equivalent to "status" and "money", which is extremely tempting to those strong people who want to stand out.
Except for a small number of heroes who sincerely want to help others, most of the rest treat being a hero as a profession.
Until now, heroes have almost been linked to stars, just like Sweet Mask, who is ranked first among A-level heroes. He is not only a powerful hero but also an extremely popular star.
As a part-time hero and idol, he has considerable popularity and fans on both sides, and he also has considerable say within the Hero Association.
It can even be said that the operation of the Hero Association is closely related to him. In the later part of the original comic, Sweet Mask had to leave the Hero Association because his identity was exposed, causing the operation of the Hero Association to stagnate for a time.
In this tense situation, another rising heroic force also began to put pressure on the Hero Association, causing the Hero Association to get worse and lose its former prestige.
Not only did he cause many S-class heroes to leave him, but he also lost the trust of the vast majority of the people.
But this plot happened after the Garou incident in the original work. At this point in time, even Boros has not appeared yet, and Saitama and Genos have just registered as heroes.
At this time, the Hero Association is still deeply trusted by the general public.
Looking at the many people around who came to take the hero assessment, Xia Yu felt a little ashamed.
He came in casual clothes, which made him look a bit out of place among the assessment members with exaggerated styles.
Whether it is those muscular men or cosplayers wearing exaggerated costumes, they are more eye-catching than him.
"Oh my god, this big brother is so fierce."
Xia Yu was looking at the assessment members around him and his gaze was suddenly startled. He saw an assessment member wearing full body armor.
The guy was wearing a full body armor, and its overall appearance was similar to that of a knight's armor, but it looked like it had been burned, melted and twisted.
Both the armor and the helmet seemed to be lit with sparks, as if they were burning.
Looking at the armored man, Xia Yu sighed a little. A guy like this could obviously be a big shot. Even though they were far apart, he could feel the heat radiating from him.
He should be a person with super powers who can use fire abilities, but this is just his guess. The real result depends on how he performs in the assessment.
Just as Xia Yu was looking at the armored man, a curtain of light suddenly popped up in front of him.
【Emergency Task】
[“Boy, you’re so arrogant, do you want to try my fist as big as a casserole?”——See that armored man? Go up and provoke him! ]
[Complete the emergency task to get rewards: double your physical fitness. ]
Xia Yu: “…”
What should I do? I am tempted, but if I provoke him like this, I will definitely be beaten to death.
Between being beaten to death and doubling his physical fitness, Xia Yu chose to ignore the emergency task from the bottom of his heart.
It's just a matter of doubling his physical fitness, which he can achieve by training for a while. There's no need to offend a guy who is most likely a big boss.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked straight ahead and stopped looking at other people, for fear that he would encounter another emergency task.
Armored man: “?”
A certain armored man waited for a long time, but did not receive any provocation from Xia Yu, so he could not help but secretly probe into Xia Yu's thoughts.
Armored man: “…”
Is he really willing to do this? He is so cowardly to choose to do what he wants when given such a good opportunity.
【Emergency Task】
"Um?"
Seeing that the emergency task that he had ignored popped up again, Xia Yu was a little surprised. Could it be that this task was still irresistible? Was this system the kind of unscrupulous system that forced the host to complete the task?
[“What are you looking at?”——The armored man noticed your gaze, became interested in you, and challenged you back.]
[Complete the emergency task to get rewards: double physical fitness, telekinesis. ]
Xia Yu: “!”
Looking at the telekinetic reward that suddenly appeared, Xia Yu blinked and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
Did he read it right? The mission had actually changed, and the reward not only doubled his physical fitness, but also gave him an extra telekinesis!
This is determined to make him provoke the armored boss, so he has to provoke him now.
After all, doubling one's physical fitness is one thing, but telekinesis is a superpower that is hard to come by!
"Tornado of Thriller", ranked second on the S-class hero rankings, is a telekinetic psychic.
However, this telekinesis should not be as strong as Tornado's. After all, even if they are all telekinesis, there are strong and weak ones, just like Tornado's sister "Hell Snow", her telekinesis is not as strong as her sister Tornado.
After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Xia Yu took a deep breath, looked at the armored man, and said in a low voice with great momentum: "What are you looking at..."
