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

Z City is an uninhabited area.

"Saitama, it's been a while, and you've become so generous."

Lin Yu sat in the living room watching Saitama standing in the kitchen, busily preparing ingredients for the hot pot.

Fresh vegetables, tender tofu, and various meats are neatly arranged on a plate, waiting to be thrown into the boiling broth. Saitama bought all of these; he himself has not yet been able to get his share.

"You've always been the one treating, and I've worked hard lately, so I've saved up a bit of money."

"Really? Well, that's really too much trouble for you."

Lin Yu squatted in front of the induction cooker, holding a soup ladle and constantly stirring the broth in the pot to fully release the aroma of chili peppers and spices. The red oil in the pot rippled enticingly with each stir.

Saitama couldn't help but take a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing as he asked, his index finger twitching: "Lin Yu, is the soup base ready yet? Can we put the ingredients in?"

"Alright, alright." Lin Yu used his telekinesis to move the ingredients Saitama had prepared from the kitchen to the table.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There are plenty of ingredients."

Saitama hurriedly put various ingredients into the boiling pot: "No matter how much food there is, it has to be eaten first. I only know that I am starving to death right now, and besides, you are not letting me have hot pot."

"Let's eat then."

Lin Yu picked up a spoon and scooped the prepared dipping sauce into a small dish, gesturing for Saitama to start eating.

The two each opened a bottle of ice-cold Coke and clinked glasses. Fresh beef and tender tofu tumbled in the chili oil, and with each bite, the bouncy texture and rich aroma danced on their taste buds.

"It's so hot... Lin Yu, you're really good at hot pot."

"Of course, I'm a professional when it comes to food."

Soon, the ingredients Saitama had prepared were dwindling at a visible rate.

Due to the law of conservation of energy, Lin Yu's appetite is exceptionally large, exceeding that of ordinary people, and Saitama's appetite has gradually increased since he met him.

From the beginning when Lin Yu completely dominated Saitama when it came to hot pot, to now when Saitama, who is quite capable of delivering a powerful punch, can go toe-to-toe with him when it comes to eating.

After finishing a carton of ice-cold cola, Saitama patted his already round belly and let out a burp: "That felt so good. I can't eat anymore, or I won't even be able to fit into my hero uniform."

"Why can't you wear something looser? You have to wear a uniform. We're only starting to fight now."

Jingle Bell……

As Lin Yu was fighting with Saitama for the beef in the hot pot, his Hero Association cell phone rang.

Lin Yu stood up, placed the beef he had snatched on Saitama's plate, and walked towards the balcony: "I got a call. The hot pot ingredients should be eaten while they're hot. Excuse me for a moment."

Saitama's eyes lit up, and he quickly waved his hand, "Go ahead, leave it all to me, it won't be wasted."

"That's really hard on you."

"Haha, that's not true at all."

Stepping onto the balcony, Lin Yu answered the phone, and a familiar female voice came through.

"Lin Yu, I am Bai Jie."

"Is this Miss Bai Jie? It's so late, is there something you need?"

"I had two subordinates who went to see you, and then..."

"You mean the two subordinates you mentioned? I saw them. They were on a mission, right? The situation was critical at the time, and I didn't have time to listen to what they had to say."

"As for the press conference or anything like that, forget it. As long as the money is there, thank you..."

As soon as the phone call ended, Saitama's voice, filled with food, came from the living room: "Lin Yu, if you don't come over soon, I'm really going to finish eating!"

"Here it comes, here it comes, you really didn't leave me a single bite."

"You said that the fun of hot pot is in fighting over the food, so you have to add the ingredients again."

As the hotpot war reignited, Lin Yu's phone beeped as he hung up.

"Funds have been credited to your Hero Account Card. Please check your account."

Lin Yu, caught up in the heat of the battle, was no longer paying attention to his phone; he couldn't hold back any longer with Saitama.

In the end, Lin Yu had secured a slight victory in the battle using telekinesis, but the phone rang again.

"What's wrong, Chairman Wang? Why did you call me...?"

"Is it about the S-class candidates? I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu went to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed his clothes.

"Why are you changing clothes so late at night? Are you planning to meet your lover?"

"Ahem! Saitama, I always thought you were an honest person. I have something to do at the association, so I'll go over there."

Saitama, who was already stuffed, lay on the sofa and said, "Let's go, let's go, you're such a busy person."

"Then bye-bye, the task of cleaning up the hot pot is now yours."

"Hmm? You're not planning to come back?"

"I was the one who treated everyone, but now I'm the one cleaning up the mess?" Saitama watched Lin Yu walk away and finished off the remaining food.

...........

The next morning.

"Bang! Bang! Saitama, open the door."

Saitama, who was half asleep, was taken aback when he heard the knock on the door. Didn't Lin Yu ever sleep in? But he still got up and opened the door.

"Lin Yu, didn't you go to the Hero Association very late? How come you can get up so early?"

"I witnessed some things and I'm a little excited. This is the breakfast I brought for you. Wash up and come eat."

"It has to be you, Lin Yu, this breakfast smells so good." Saitama, who was originally very sleepy, immediately perked up when he smelled the aroma of breakfast.

Last night, Wang Jiulong compiled a list of people who had achieved the same test data as him during this period, and also showed the information to him to select S-level candidates. He then asked if there was time to test the strength of these people.

After reading the information, Lin Yu found that almost all of them were people he knew.

There are burly men who tear off their clothes at the drop of a hat, elderly people with white hair, slovenly samurai, hot-blooded thugs on the street, and unidentified people dressed as dogs. As for that tsundere legal loli, she is not a candidate, but has already been selected as an S-class.

As for his own successful selection into S-class after easily resolving the "Eternal Cicada" incident, his ranking is still under discussion at the headquarters' board of directors.

Lin Yu doesn't care about his ranking. As long as he's at the S level, he doesn't need to care so much about the ranking.

With his current strength, he could be Homelander in One-Punch Man. There aren't many people who can subdue him, not to mention that he will become stronger over time. When the main story begins, probably only Saitama and God will be able to suppress him.

..........

Z City, high-speed rail station.

As the train slowly pulled into the station, a tall woman gracefully stepped off the high-speed train. Her shoulder-length black hair swayed gently in the breeze, perfectly complementing her dark green dress. Her skin was as white as snow, and her figure was as alluring as a devil, with distinct curves that made it hard to look away.
