I survived by drawing cards after being transported to One-Punch Man.
Chapter 20 The Overly Idealistic Fubuki Group
"Is it okay to just eat vegetarian food? Can't you have some more substantial dishes? And does your soup base even have any flavor?"
"Um...no...I don't need it, this is fine..."
In a steamy hot pot restaurant, Lin Yu and Chuixue sat at a round table.
In front of Lin Yu was a pot of bright red spicy hot pot, steaming hot, with chili oil bubbling in the pot, while Chuixue chose a light tomato broth, the soup inside was bright red but not spicy.
Lin Yu picked up a slice of beef, quickly dipped it in the boiling spicy broth, and then ate it in big mouthfuls, deliberately making satisfied "tsk tsk" sounds as he ate: "This spicy broth is amazing, don't you really want to try it? It's the restaurant's signature dish, by the leader of the Fubuki Group."
Fubuki wrinkled her nose, looking at Lin Yu's enjoyable expression, and said somewhat unconvinced, "I...of course I can eat spicy food, it's just that my throat is a little sore today, and I don't want to eat anything too spicy."
Lin Yu smiled and picked up another piece of tofu. The tofu quickly changed color in the spicy broth. He teased, "Throat not feeling well? I think you're just afraid of spicy food. You still want me to join your Snowstorm Group? You're not very bold."
Fubuki's face flushed slightly. She resolutely picked up a piece of vegetable and put it into her tomato broth: "I... I'm not afraid of spicy food. I... I just pay more attention to healthy eating, and eating too much spicy food is bad for my skin!"
"Really?" Lin Yu continued playfully, "Healthy eating? Bad for the skin? What a strange reason. Well, I hope someone won't be scared after taking a bite." As Lin Yu spoke, he picked up a slice of cooked mutton from his spicy hot pot and handed it to Chuixue.
Fubuki hesitated for a moment, but ultimately took the mutton and cautiously took a small bite. The spiciness of the mutton immediately filled her mouth, her face turned bright red, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh: "See? I told you you couldn't handle spicy food. But your reaction is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Fubuki quickly took a sip of milk, trying to calm her breathing, and then retorted, "This was just an accident! Besides, the way you eat spicy food is practically self-torture!"
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head: "Self-torture? It's clearly because you're terrible at the game."
"Can you say that again!"
"You're patheticly bad."
"Lin Yu! I'll fight you to the death!"
This man always treated her this way, causing her, who usually enjoyed the attention of countless people, to be utterly defeated by Lin Yu.
The surrounding objects began to float up slowly. Lin Yu continued eating, pointing at Chuixue: "The boss is watching you over there, my dear lady. Are you trying to make yourself a headline story?"
The middle-aged owner of the hot pot restaurant chuckled and said, "Young man, especially you, lad, what if your girlfriend won't let you into the room tonight because you've made her so angry?"
"Who's his girlfriend!"
Why would I go into her room?
Two voices rang out. The boss's expression, which seemed to say "I don't believe you, you don't need to lie to me," made Fubuki's face flash with embarrassment. Her eyes darted between Lin Yu and the boss, unsure of what to say.
Her fingers unconsciously traced the surface of the table: "Anyway, boss, you're mistaken. This is the first time I've met him."
"Yes, it's only our first meeting, yet this beautiful lady is still clinging to me."
"Lin Yu!"
"What's wrong, dear Xue~"
"you........"
The boss's smile instantly froze, as if they really weren't a couple, but just the young man bullying the girl. He quickly wiped his hands with his apron and coughed awkwardly.
"Well, the weather's really nice today, so the two of you can stay for free."
"Okay, thank you boss."
"thank you boss."
Two voices came again, but this time it was indeed the boss who was dumbfounded. Were these two people really not here to mess with him?
She was hungry, and he was a big eater, so he ordered a lot of hot pot ingredients. In particular, Lin Yu ordered all the dishes on the menu, and even double portions.
Looking at the abundance of ingredients in front of her and her still hungry stomach, Fubuki decided to temporarily give up arguing with Lin Yu.
"I'll settle the score with you after I've eaten my fill."
"Wait, are you sure you want to settle accounts with me?"
"I can't, but my sister can."
"Awesome..."
……
As night deepened, the atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant gradually quieted down. After finishing her meal, Chuixue gave up the idea of having her sister come over, and found that Lin Yu was a person who suited her taste.
But Fubuki still didn't give up on getting Lin Yu into her team.
“Lin Yu, you’ve been making waves in the Hero Association lately, but you have to understand that popularity comes and goes quickly.” Fubuki said, gently stirring the broth in the hot pot with a spoon.
“The number of registered heroes in the Hero Association is increasing, but resources and exposure opportunities are limited. If you always act alone, sooner or later a newcomer will take your place and steal your spotlight.” A hint of confidence shone in her eyes.
"However, if you join a Fubuki team, the situation is completely different. As a hero team, not only can the diversity of heroes attract fans with different preferences, but teamwork can also help us fight against more powerful enemies. Even when there are no actions, the interactions between team members can keep the public's attention."
“This way, team members can get more attention than heroes acting alone, which is a huge advantage in terms of fan growth and hero rankings… Hey, Lin Yu, can you slow down a bit?” Fubuki’s voice carried a hint of complaint as she quickened her pace, trying to keep up with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu stopped and turned to face Fubuki when he heard her words. His eyes held a hint of amusement as he looked at her.
"It sounds like you have a lot of confidence in this team's ideas."
Fubuki nodded, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Of course, I believe this will not only help us personally, but also make the entire Hero Association stronger."
"Your idea of playing house is really interesting. Think about it carefully, my naive and innocent young lady. What if you get fooled one day and end up counting money for the other person? Go home and don't follow me anymore."
"..."
Fubuki wanted to pin Lin Yu to the ground and beat him up. What a ridiculous idea she came up with based on the Hero Association's activity rankings!
But then she thought about how she had failed to recruit her first member and that the member had mocked her, and Fubuki couldn't control her expression.
"You wait, once my Fubuki Group is established, it will prove that my point of view is not wrong."
"Whatever, whatever, I'm going home. You're not coming with me to my room, are you?"
After flying high into the sky, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Fubuki hadn't followed. He didn't want to kiss the ground if Tatsumaki found out that her sister had gone to his room and stayed overnight.
Fubuki's idea is too idealistic. She believes that personal strength is the only true measure of success. Her idea is only useful for heroes with average strength and no unique characteristics. As long as they are strong and demonstrate their power to the public, the resources she mentioned will easily flow to them.
As long as she doesn't emulate Saitama, she'll be fine. As for Fubuki, she'll realize how naive she is when she runs into a brick wall.
