Chapter 635 Meeting
[Xia Yu, Xia Yu, your attention has increased a lot again. You really stole the show this time! ]
"Um."
[Hmm? Why do you seem to be in a bad mood? Although my role is not very important, at least it can improve your own skills. It is always better to have an art.]
"Because I was thinking about something."
On the way back, Xia Yu recalled the strength of the armored man who could open the sky with a sword. He rubbed the root of his nose with two fingers and muttered to himself: "This is different from the plot I am familiar with. Where did the armored man who can use fire come from?"
Xia Yu didn't think much about it during the test. After all, he was behind Saitama in this class, and there were so many heroes that he couldn't know every one of them, and it was impossible to draw every hero in the comics.
You should know that the comics once stated that there are 17 people in S-class, 38 people in A-class, 101 people in B-class, and 390 people in C-class.
Except for the S-level heroes, which are rare and therefore every one of them is drawn, the remaining A, B, and C-level heroes have never all appeared, only some distinctive heroes have appeared.
Therefore, he did not have too many doubts about the unfamiliar hero, but this Deep Sea King incident was an important plot in the original work.
This is not only a plot of Saitama showing off, but also a scene showing Saitama's personality charm. However, this plot was changed by the armored man. Could it be that he is not in the original world of One Punch Man? But in a fan world?
"Wait, could that guy be the protagonist of the doujin world?"
【Well, what did you say? 】
After hearing the system's question, Xia Yu expressed his thoughts. The change in the plot also made him a little worried.
[So are you worried about the plot later? ]
"Yes, after all, the familiar plot suddenly changed, which means that the subsequent plot may also change. I don't know whether these changes are good or bad."
[But there is no point in worrying, right? When a problem arises, there are two options: being able to solve it and not being able to solve it.]
[Can the problem be solved? Yes! Then there is nothing to worry about. ]
[Can the problem be solved? No! There is no point in worrying about it. In the end, you will only waste your energy. It is better not to think about it. ]
"Well... that doesn't make sense."
After hearing what the system said, Xia Yu thought about the two options and found that it was indeed true.
If it can be solved, don't worry about it. If it can't be solved, don't think about it. If you insist on dwelling on this point, you will only end up wasting your time.
"That's true. I should just practice slowly. As long as I become stronger, I will be able to fight even if there are problems."
[That’s right! That’s it! ]
"Really? I almost got stuck in a dead end. Fortunately, you are here to listen to me. Thank you."
[Hey, we're just friends, no need to be so polite. ]

[Dark Souls III]: I didn’t expect this system to be so useful. If there is a problem, I will just add him to the chat group and explain it to him.
[Sekiro]: How dare you, a scumbag, still have such a conscience?
[Dark Souls III]: Playing is playing, joking is joking, but you can't really turn yourself into a clown.
Although he is sometimes quite disdainful, he is just joking at most. If he really treats himself like a clown, it means he has no self-respect and no self-love.
You can wrong others but never yourself. After all, Zengzi once said, "I examine myself three times a day and I find it is always others who are wrong."
[Sekiro]: This entertainment system is really good. I didn’t expect that an intelligent system might not be a problem sometimes.
[NieR: Automata]: It’s because some intelligent systems are always making sarcastic comments and criticizing the host. Such intelligent systems are even worse than the cold task system.
[Sekiro]: That’s true, and there’s no such thing as eliminating the character if the mission fails, or deducting the rewards that have already been issued.
[NieR: Automata]: After all, the system must keep pace with the times. The kind of disgusting system is no longer popular.
[Food Addiction Dungeon]: Okay, okay, stop talking. Where are the ingredients you collected ? I have already prepared all the cooking utensils.
[Cyberpunk 2077]: By the way, do we really want to eat this stuff?
[Food Addiction Dungeon]: You came late and may not know that we once ate the remains of the demon god from the world of Genshin Impact.
[Cyberpunk 2077]: Ah... Isn't that polluted? Can we eat it?
[Prisoners of Food]: If the universe can be eaten, what else can’t be eaten?
【Cyberpunk 2077】: Awesome...
…
City A, the headquarters of the Hero Association.
"The Deep Sea invasion has ended. The hero ranking adjustment meeting will begin now."
In the top-floor conference room, the logo of a soaring eagle is printed on the steel wall. The huge, high-tech circular round table is filled with people, and a meeting of Heroes Association cadres is taking place here.
Those attending the meeting included both older bald men with Mediterranean hair and young, beautiful and sexy women, but they all wore black suits and blue ties.
Only a few people wore ties of different colors, which also represented that they belonged to different departments.
"The unlicensed knight still maintains the first place in C-Class."
The meeting reporter took out the materials and reported on the first agenda of the meeting.
"Okay, I'll contact you right away."
"Really? Why doesn't he want to be promoted to Class B?" Upon hearing that the unlicensed knight still insisted on being the first in Class C, one of the Mediterranean cadres said helplessly.
This issue of the Unlicensed Knight is brought up every time the hero rankings are adjusted, but no matter how many times they discuss it, the Unlicensed Knight always sticks to his ranking.
Therefore, they would only contact the other party once as a routine matter regarding this issue, and then continue to let the other party remain in the first place in Class C.
If the hero himself does not want to level up, they will not go against the hero's wishes.
"Let's move on to the next topic."
The reporter took out a piece of information and read out, "The new A-class hero who solved the Deep Sea King, Ash. He finally defeated the ghost-class monster Deep Sea King who defeated the S-class sexy prisoner."
As the reporter spoke, he looked at the cool and beautiful woman with long black hair standing in front of the operating table. In response to the reporter's gesture, the woman nodded and started operating on the virtual light screen.
The next second, a close-up photo of Ash Xia Yu appeared on the virtual light screen, but it was a close-up photo with a helmet on.
"Helmet? Isn't his real face visible?" The Mediterranean cadre asked in confusion after seeing the photo.
"No."
The blond man with glasses among the cadres shook his head: "Whether it's the photos of him participating in the hero assessment or the photos uploaded on the official website, he is dressed like this."
"Heh, these heroes really aren't normal people."
Hearing the answer from the blond man with glasses, a bald bearded man sneered, but this remark aroused the dissatisfaction of another big-nosed cadre.
"What do you mean by that? They are heroes who are willing to come out to protect the people. Even if you don't respect them, you can't slander them."
"I'm just telling the truth."
"you……"
"Okay, we're in a meeting now, not the time to argue."
Seeing that the argument was about to start again, another curly-haired cadre suddenly tried to smooth things over. Upon seeing this, the big-nosed cadre took a deep breath and suppressed his unhappiness.
"So, this new hero already has S-level combat power. Do we want to upgrade him to an S-level hero?" asked the blond man with glasses.
He was in the Propaganda Department, responsible for recruiting heroes, publishing, and running the official website.
If there is one more S-class hero, the department he is in charge of will become busy.
In response to this question, Mediterranean was the first to answer: "We just made Genos an S-rank. If we make another newcomer an S-rank, the value of the S-rank will be reduced."
"But he already has S-level strength."
The big-nosed cadre retorted: "Have you forgotten the original intention of establishing the S-class? In order to ensure that the strength of the Hero Association is sufficient to deal with various emergencies and to ensure that rare talents are not buried, we established the S-class hero level!"
"The Hero Association's assessment of S-level heroes is that as long as you have special combat abilities and your own strength is equivalent to the combat power of a national division-level army, you can be rated as an S-level hero."
The big-nosed cadre's words choked him. After all, what the other party said was the truth. This was a decision made by all the cadres of the association, and he couldn't refute it.
"We can move him to the second position in A-level. After all, his contribution is only this one thing. If his contribution is sufficient, we can move him to S-level."
“Second.”
“Second.”
"Attached..."
A female cadre suddenly said this. After hearing this, the big-nosed cadre wanted to say something, but a series of seconding voices immediately blocked him.
When the vast majority of cadres seconded the proposal, he alone would not be able to reverse the situation.
Listening to the voices of secondment ringing in his ears, the big-nosed cadre sighed deeply. Sometimes he really felt pity for the misfortune of these colleagues and was angry at their lack of fighting spirit.
This group of people who sit in the office and talk about theory every day only care about ridiculous things, but are strangely optimistic .
It is obvious that as long as there are more and more S-level people, people will have more trust in them, but these guys only have business calculations.
Feeling exhausted, the big-nosed cadre looked at other pragmatic cadres who shared the same view as him and found that they also gave him helpless looks.
There aren't many people in this group of practical people, so even if they want to change the Hero Association, they are ultimately powerless.
Soon, the discussion on hero rankings ended in just over ten minutes.
What followed was a two-hour-long naming of the new heroes. This was because there were four new heroes last time, two of whom made outstanding contributions and therefore deserved their own unique hero titles.
In the eyes of these optimistic cadres, the title of hero means that the new hero will be transformed from a newcomer into a hero who can stand on his own. For these newcomers, the title of hero is their aspirational goal.
As long as they have the title of hero, these new heroes will be more loyal to the Hero Association.
