I survived by drawing cards after being transported to One-Punch Man.

"Don't think too much about it. Soon a hero will defeat the monster, and then you'll be able to get out."

The black-haired youth peeked out from the crowd. "That's why I thought..."

"Don't say anything, just wait for the hero to defeat the monster!"

"No matter the reason, you absolutely cannot leave here!"

"Where are the Hero Association administrators? Deal with this guy right now!"

……

As the crowd spoke, the black-haired youth was pulled back by many righteous people. Although many people pulled him back, the youth's expression did not change, and he stood there steadily.

"Fine, fine, I won't go out then."

"Wait a minute, you can pull and tug, but don't pull my hair. I don't have much left to begin with."

With the young man no longer leaving the shelter, everyone relaxed and the shelter fell silent once more.

At this point, about a dozen people wearing association uniforms began to introduce the functions of the shelter to the crowd. In short, the shelter had a very high level of defense and provided great protection for people's safety.

"What about going to the toilet?" asked the black-haired youth who was about to leave.

The staff member who was explaining paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "For safety reasons, no toilets have been installed."

"Ah!" Many people in the crowd also voiced their doubts.

"Then this should be considered a design flaw," the young man muttered to himself.

But after being calmed down by the association's staff, everyone quieted down and waited for the hero's rescue, except for one young man who really needed to use the restroom.

"Waiting for a hero to rescue me? I hope it's you, Lin Yu. You're quick at dealing with monsters, so I can still hold back for now. But if I really can't hold back, then I'll..." Saitama's eyes darted left and right, searching for a less crowded spot.

"Honestly, I thought following these people would lead me to some weirdo, but it turns out they're heading to a shelter instead."

……

"Wow, it's a really big one!"

Above Z City, Lin Yu, who was flying over, looked at the enormous, human-faced, 170,000-year-old monster, the Ten-Thousand-Year Cicada. With just its massive body, every step it took caused great damage to the surrounding buildings.

The nearby buildings were completely destroyed, but the cicada continued to move towards the refuge.

"Trying to wreak havoc on the shelter? Good idea. You'd better stay here obediently." Lin Yu waved his right hand, activating his telekinesis.

"boom!!"

The ten-thousand-year cicada, which was moving forward, crashed into the power barrier that Lin Yu had been thinking about. The ten-thousand-year cicada first shook its head, and finding that there was nothing blocking it, it mustered up its strength again and rushed forward.

"boom!!"

"Roar!!" The ancient cicada let out a shriek. What had stopped it from moving forward?

"That's a really hard head, no wonder he's so stubborn..."

Lin Yu felt the impact of the Ten Thousand Year Cicada on his mental barrier. It had such an impact just by its size. Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Year Cicada could only rely on its size, otherwise it could have broken through the defense of the shelter in front of him with a single blow.

Lin Yu looked at the ten-thousand-year-old cicada trapped in the psychic barrier, and his right hand began to tighten.

A massive amount of telekinetic energy was injected into the barrier, causing it to compress rapidly. The millennia-old cicada inside the barrier instinctively tried to escape, only to find that it couldn't break through this invisible barrier at all.

"Psychic Strangulation!"

The telekinetic energy directly enveloped the ten-thousand-year-old cicada. The cicada couldn't even utter a mournful cry before it was squeezed and burst. Its flesh and blood were continuously compressed until it became a sphere, at which point Lin Yu stopped.

The prey groans incessantly in your hands, and is eventually crushed to death bit by bit. It has to be said that it is quite stress-relieving.

Besides enjoying hand-to-hand combat, Lin Yu's favorite move is turning monsters into spheres.

This saved the staff who were handling the monster's body a lot of trouble.

[Defeat the Demon-level monster, the juvenile form of the Eternal Cicada]

[Reward Card Draw Attempts: 30]

[Remaining number of gacha pulls: 42]

"That's monstrous. He already has Demon-level strength even in his juvenile form. If he were in his complete form, he would definitely be a Dragon-level monster. Unfortunately, I am even more monstrous."

Later on, the various gigantic monsters became increasingly exaggerated, and there's still a long way to go.

Number of gacha pulls: 42

Looking at the 42 card draws left, Lin Yu decided not to draw anymore. Ever since his physical strength reached the Ghost level, white attribute cards could no longer help his physique break through to the next level.

The literal meaning is that once your level is high, you won't gain experience points no matter how many low-level monsters you fight, and Lin Yu's physique is also subject to this problem.

Honestly, he thought he could dominate One-Punch Man by strengthening his body with white attribute cards. It seems it's not as simple as he thought. He'll need green attribute cards to improve. Hopefully, Box Bro will treat him better in the future.

……

Inside the shelter.

Thanks to the shelter's defenses, the aftershocks from the cicadas did not cause significant damage to the shelter.

In the corner of the shelter, Saitama suddenly looked up: "It's so quiet outside. Has the monster been dealt with?"

Upon hearing this, the people in the shelter also realized the problem.

"That's right!"

The vibration has stopped, and it's really quiet now.

"So does that prove the monster was defeated by the hero?"

"..."

As the group discussed the matter, the loudspeaker overhead began broadcasting announcements.

"The Ghost-level disaster in Z City has been eliminated by the top-ranked A-level [Shining Armor]. Z City has returned to peace. Thank you for your sacrifice!"

"Breaking news..."

The Hero Association's loudspeaker blared throughout Z-City, and images of Lin Yu defeating various monsters appeared on the large screen in the shelter.

"Wow, that's so cool! Is this what a hero is like? So awesome!"

"He has transformation abilities, superpowers, and is handsome."

"Not only is he handsome, but he's also incredibly strong. He crushed the monster with one hand. God didn't leave him a window, but a door."

"You think that the top A-level is not some mediocre C-level or B-level?"

"I wonder if that strange guy outside is in two halves or a sphere."

I'll bet half of it.

"I bet on the ball."

"........."

Click—

The shelter doors opened, and people rushed out, many searching for Lin Yu.

This time, the Hero Association used Lin Yu for perfect publicity, which not only demonstrated the strength of the Hero Association, but also helped Lin Yu gain a large number of fans.

Everyone inside the shelter left in an instant, and Saitama, who was initially the most eager to leave, suddenly stopped being in a hurry.

He looked at the hero information for [Shining Armor Lin Yu] on the screen and swayed his body: "It really is Lin Yu. This promotion is really exciting."

Suddenly, Saitama's expression changed, and he clutched his stomach with both hands.

"I got a little carried away and almost came out. I need to find the toilet quickly."

After saying that, he created a gust of wind and rushed out of the shelter.

High in the sky, Lin Yu also heard the Hero Association's broadcast and his own promotional video.

"【Shining Armor】is my title? That feels a bit strange." Lin Yu pondered for a moment, but anyway, it was better than someone's 【Bald Cape Hero】.
