If all else fails, then I'll have to seek out a martial arts expert. Perhaps cultivating my character might help me a bit. Atomic Samurai is out for now, along with the samurai masters who accompany him. Regardless of their strength, Krieg hasn't seen any evidence of their ability to cultivate their character, and Genichirō hasn't brought his wild sword. Suiryu is also out for the taking. Regardless of where he's currently traveling, he has almost no character, relying almost entirely on his natural talent.

However, after eliminating many options, Krieg actually found another suitable person, the third S-level Silver Fang of the Hero Association, a martial arts master named Bang.

Bang has a gentle personality and is a master of the Ryusui Rock-Breaking Fist, known as an authority in the martial arts world. He is also a true master of a calm mind, fighting with the goal of minimizing harm to his opponents. When he gets serious, he can instantly defeat even Dragon-level monsters.

According to the official book, Bang is known as the guardian of the future of the hero world and the protector of young people.

This S-Class hero is the ultimate example of sophistication. His noble character commands awe from other heroes, and his resilience, capable of facing any challenge for the sake of the citizens, makes him a role model for the heroic world. Consequently, he enjoys immense support from both the Association and the general public. Despite his advanced age, his boxing skills, refined with age, have long surpassed those of ordinary masters, making him truly worthy of being called an immortal.

They are very suitable in terms of both strength and personality.

Krieg must obtain this world's reward. Even one-thousandth of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's flesh, let alone one-third, would be a net profit. At this point, the need for weapons would be greatly reduced, and the importance of the Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist would be greatly enhanced. The cold weapons in this world weren't particularly impressive. If one really needed a weapon, the Fang of the Faceless Man would be preferable. At least Valyrian steel was connected to magic. Even if it was just a short dagger, it was far more useful than the weapons here.

Then he'd head to Bang's dojo to see what he could find, even if it was just for the Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist. As a time traveler, Krieg had a natural affinity for martial arts. While martial arts masters had vanished since the invention of the camera, the Silver Fang was a genuine object, fulfilling his dream.

Is it so late now? Krieg noticed that the sun had set. Considering his appearance, it would not be good to scare the old man in the middle of the night. Whether for Bangu's heart or his own safety, it would be better to wait a few days.

There are still five days left before the assessment. It is impossible to overcome mental problems in such a short period of time. In this case, there is no need to rush. If I become a disciple too early, some people in the association may think that I am trying to take advantage of Silver Fang's fame and become dissatisfied with me. That is not good. Krieg does not want to accept random challenge invitations. Even if I beat these heroes, they may not admit defeat. It would be fine if they just refused to admit defeat. There are many narrow-minded people among professional heroes. Beating them will only make them an obstacle to the idol plan.

So before that, make some heroic contributions to increase your presence. There is plenty of time anyway, so try to raise your reputation as an ordinary person as much as possible.

Therefore, the monsters who ran into him next were in big trouble. With the fishing line and the jumping ability of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, Krieg could move almost silently and at high speed, but his attack methods were extremely wild. Perhaps influenced by the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle itself, Krieg now preferred direct collisions. Frequently, the monsters could only see something falling from the sky, and then their heads were crushed on the ground. They didn't know what happened until they died.

Dr. Kinos told him in the headset where the monsters appeared, and Krieger went to deal with them to get higher scores. This process lasted for two full days.

During this process, Hayabusa had already flown back to the new home of evolution. Dr. Kinos would occasionally turn off the microphone and instruct the clones to destroy the data. Hayabusa would stand beside him and watch his actions. It must be said that Dr. Kinos's research results were much more than he had imagined. Although Krieg moved to the base with him, there were still quite a lot of things he had not seen.

My partner seems to be hiding a lot of things from me. Krieg's expression didn't even change. The House of Evolution is right there. No matter what Dr. Kinos has hidden, it is not a big threat to him. It's just that when he occasionally sees those weird experimental subjects, Krieg will feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Because of disgust, Krieg kept a stern face, but in the eyes of the onlookers, the guy in front of them who looked similar to the monster had been dealing with the monster with an expressionless face. When facing the heroes who came later, Krieg often revealed his identity when they thanked him. This behavior of not talking nonsense and just doing practical things earned him some reputation, and his reputation as a hero who was ruthless and didn't talk much began to spread on the Internet.

The crowd's acceptance of King, a ferocious-looking but "powerful" senior, was much stronger than Krieg had expected. They easily accepted this setting and imagined some strange things. In addition to welcoming the new hero, they also began to spread rumors on the Internet, such as "Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle is actually a weirdo who loves Rhinoceros Beetles, but his kindness makes him a hero", "Rhinoceros Beetles are so handsome, it turns out that carapaces are the romance of men", and "What's wrong with liking bugs? You can also become a hero if you like bugs!"

Seeing that the rumors were developing in an increasingly bizarre direction, Krieg let them speculate. He didn't explain anything anyway. If someone asked about his existence after dealing with the weirdos, Krieg would just leave without saying a word. So the rumors began to develop rapidly. Dr. Kinos seized this opportunity, and his idle clones began to help Krieg increase his popularity. No one expected that the first batch of water armies in the world would actually be a group of clones.

There are no real living people among the navy, they are all my smurfs.

In order to avoid trouble and to familiarize himself with the abilities of the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle as quickly as possible, Krieg would use more force every time he attacked a monster. The torn earth and the monsters that were knocked down helped him to block the questioning of the onlookers. They would only watch him leave with admiration. Krieg never understood why there were still fools who questioned Saitama to his face. Maybe it was because Saitama's style looked too friendly?

This kind of cold-blooded behavior increased his popularity considerably. Combined with Dr. Genos's promotion, Krieg had become a little famous in just two days. This would be his factor in becoming a professional hero.

"Congratulations, great hero Krieg! You've made a name for yourself. Look at the Hero Association's report. You've taken out over thirty monsters, which is almost as many as an S-class hero." Dr. Genos reported to Krieg sarcastically after he dispatched a sea urchin. "Your plan is almost successful. When can we realize our plan?"

Krieg ignored him. A large part of his fame came from Dr. Kinos's excellent photography skills. In order to prevent the credit from being claimed by others, Krieg would call a bunch of reporters every time he eliminated a monster. The effect was obvious. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is very popular now. Many reporters have tried to interview him.

"Patience, we want to be the people behind the scenes, not the reckless ones who show their faces in public. This is just part of the plan. Now you are going to abandon my positive news and start making up negative news about me online."

"What?" Dr. Kinos thought he had misheard. "What are you going to do with this hard-earned reputation?"

"It's too slow. I can't wait."

Chapter 153 The heat continues to rise

Dr. Kinos didn't know why his partner was so anxious. Even though he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, Dr. Kinos knew that this behavior could only bring temporary benefits. The S-class heroes of the Hero Association had no black spots, at least not on the Internet.

While Krieg knew who they were, he had no proof. As a pro hero destined for S-rank, his attention would gradually rise, reaching its peak when he did. Compared to the mysterious and powerful heroes who were S-rank from the start, Krieg's grassroots comeback was more appealing. However, this appeal only generated buzz, which only made him a hero, not an idol.

So Krieg chose to make himself ordinary, at least to let these onlookers understand that he is just an "ordinary person" who became an S-class hero through hard work, and a child from another family. This is in line with Krieg's goal of becoming an idol.

Although it sounds strange to say this, the passers-by in One Punch Man are really strange. Not only do they truly believe in the qualities of the heroes, they also truly believe that there is only a slight difference in strength between themselves and the heroes. In any case, it is difficult for Krieg to convince himself to scold a guy who can punch through a street with one punch.

If you want to be a popular character in this world, you either have to be an S-class hero without any weaknesses, like King in the eyes of passers-by, or a warm-hearted good neighbor, like the unlicensed knight. Krieg chose to have it all.

After listening to the explanation, Dr. Kinos agreed with Krieg's opinion. Of course, these two guys had their own ulterior motives, but when their interests were aligned, they would never hold each other back.

Then a series of insignificant black spots began to appear, including that Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle liked to intimidate passers-by for no reason, that Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle liked to continue attacking after the opponent begged for mercy, etc., as well as an opinion that came out of nowhere, that Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle was a weirdo before, and the reason he wanted to be a professional hero was to infiltrate the heroes and destroy the Hero Association.

The insignificant black spots mentioned above were discovered by Dr. Kinos, while the last black spot appeared spontaneously and began to spread on the Internet in just a short period of time. Although most people think this matter is ridiculous, as long as a small number of people believe it, it will be fine. There is no such thing as majority and minority when speaking on the Internet. As long as there is basic programming knowledge and the laziness of a certain group of people, it is easy to cause the minority group to speak in large numbers.

As long as the majority does not speak out one by one, the minority's speech may become the mainstream, and those who are originally on the sidelines or the less firm majority will question why some people have different opinions from me. Am I wrong?

When things get to this point, the minority who dare to act will really become the majority. Those fence-sitters are nothing. What is really interesting are those who have come from the real majority. They will spontaneously defend their own views. After all, getting people to admit their mistakes is a difficult thing in itself, especially getting people to admit their mistakes on the Internet. This is simply a dream.

I swallow my anger in real life, so why can't I strike back hard online?!

So Krieg and Dr. Kinos watched in silence as the negative news began to spread. It became more and more outrageous, even causing Krieg to eat his own melon. Some people even spread rumors that he had sexual relations with female fans!

The creator of this rumor, you are really a talent. Krieg almost burst out laughing when he heard about it for the first time. He even found a mirror to look at himself. That female fan must be mentally ill to do such a bizarre thing. Even Qiao Biluo, who can carry a train on her shoulders, is not so cruel.

It's not surprising that someone spread the rumor, but it's strange that some of his fans are defending him. There are obviously only a few people arguing, but one person has posted hundreds of comments. Krieg didn't know what expression to use when seeing this.

Both sides must be blind. One can't see my appearance clearly, and the other doesn't know how to ask the other party to provide evidence.

Haters are still fans, and only when their popularity is high enough can their influence spread. Krieg accepted this, but just to stir up trouble, he registered a fake account and secretly posted a line in the thread that was getting more and more replies. "The Asura Rhinoceros Beetle you mentioned is my favorite hero. I just started elementary school this year, and I want to know what unit is light-year?"

Three seemingly unrelated sentences were sent out like this, and the onlookers at this time didn't know what they were going to face.

"Kids, light years are of course a unit of time." — By an anonymous user.

"What's the above person saying? Light-year is clearly a unit of distance. --Biology PhD"

"What kind of doctor are you? You can even get this kind of question wrong. Light-year is a unit of time. How can distance come from years? Do you think I'm stupid? - by the first year after graduating from university"

Pointless verbal battles began to replace the popularity of Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. It was obviously just a problem that could be solved by a quick check, but it suddenly became popular with the help of small accounts, the mutual attacks of the onlookers, and the stirring up of black fans who were eager to create chaos in the world. In just one afternoon, the aura of lowering intelligence from another world began to spread, and many rhythm dogs began to party under this post.

Not only is there the idiotic question of what unit light-years are, but there's also the rhythm of calling for a super administrator to get the other party's account blocked during an argument, and the rhythm of typing eye protection mode on the public screen when your eyes hurt after a whole afternoon of arguing. The reveling crowd doesn't care at all about what's being said here, they just talk to themselves and participate in the communication itself, and there will always be idle people who follow them and start talking nonsense.

In addition to the basic common sense of eating when hungry and drinking water when thirsty, there are also various issues that people think are common sense. Therefore, there are all kinds of confusing questions under each piece of popular science. They don’t care about the feeling of popular science, or those who popularize science will eventually become part of the tearers, whether because they are angry at the reply or they have experienced the fun of chaos.

This has never been seen on the Internet in this world. When it comes to setting the tone, Krieg is definitely one of the best in this world.

So there was a huge amount of information flowing in every moment. Dr. Kinos began to let the clones take turns to reply to the messages. No one cared about Krieg's negative information anymore. Only news and posts marked with Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle appeared on the homepage again and again. Before the large-scale ban late at night, the name Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle had already shown a subculture trend.

What's going on? A troll developed a friendship with the troll on the opposite side while trolling. Is this mutual understanding?

Krieg was a little confused. These fans who had gathered there were only quiet for a while after being banned. They soon built their own website and began to build complete subculture rules within their own scope. Their initiative was incredibly high.

Is it possible that setting the pace is also a growing cultural need of the people?

Unlike Krieg who thought about it for a while, Dr. Kinos was really puzzled. He was not puzzled by the collective blindness of ordinary people, but why he had not thought of this method earlier with his own IQ. The subsequent self-doubt made him look at Krieg with a strange look.

It's obviously just my creation, why is his thinking stronger than mine? The only thing that Asura Rhinoceros Beetle is stronger than me is probably his IQ. How did he come up with something that has never appeared before? It's obviously just an embryo that has fused multiple genes, can it grow into this effect in the laboratory?

Then, can I put my own transformation on the agenda? Dr. Kinos pushed up his glasses, and a faint white light flashed on the big screen in front of him. Hayabusa squatted silently in the corner, tilting his head in a cute way, carefully observing Dr. Kinos's every move.

As time went by, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle became more and more famous, and there was a tendency to surpass S-class heroes. Krieg did not stop during this period, and was still hunting monsters. He followed the principle of doing half the effort every time. Often when he finished dealing with the monster's body, you could see the cracked ground. The consistent standard of doing things made Krieg have a good reputation in the Hero Association and among ordinary people. As for those black materials, Krieg's frequent heroic activities could explain what he was doing. It was equivalent to saying that Krieg got fame for nothing, and the only thing he paid was typing a few lines on the Internet.

Nowadays, even people who don't often go online have heard of the name of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle. As the most popular insect in Japan, children themselves are the best receivers of information because they will not question the authenticity of the information. According to statistics from gossipers, when children name rhinoceros beetles, the three words "Krieger" have become the mainstream.

Although Krieg himself didn't understand why someone would like the dark rhinoceros beetle, and it felt strange to name it after himself.

In any case, the hype has been high enough. All Krieg has to do is to retain this heat. As for how many of the endless dragon-level monsters he can get, it depends on his foresight. The audience and actors are ready, the stage has been set well, and the rest is just acting.

Both Krieger and Dr. Kinos are excited to see what happens next.

Amidst the noise, the professional hero assessment test was finally about to begin.

City A, headquarters of the Heroes Association.

"Then we respect the wishes of the unlicensed knight and he can continue to maintain his position as the number one in Class C."

"Okay, we'll contact you right away."

"Really?" a senior executive at the edge of the conference table complained. "Why wouldn't he want to be promoted to B-rank? He's clearly a very strong being even at B-rank."

"This has nothing to do with us. Just support the Unlicensed Knight. He is the best face of our Hero Association. Don't force him to do anything."

"I know, I know. I'm just complaining. Let's talk about something else. Um, keep reading!"

Look at this group of idle bastards, Yata cursed silently in his heart, then concealed his expression while lowering his head to read the script. Ever since he met the guy who called himself Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, there was always a fire burning in his heart when he attended the meetings of the Hero Association, and he even felt a little angry when he looked at the other secretaries.

He knew that it was not the fault of these secretaries, or even anyone at the meeting. They were just workers. The only ones who had the real decision-making power were the real senior executives who were not present and the wealthy people behind the Hero Association. However, everyone here, including himself, was a defender of this deformed association. After realizing this, this feeling of powerlessness made Yata very annoyed.

"Let's move on to the next topic. The 55th Professional Hero Rating Exam. The total number of participants across the six examination halls is 11685, a 22% increase from the previous exam."

"Wow!", an exclamation was heard for the first time in the meeting. Faced with more and more monsters, the association's mobilization was no longer able to cope with it, so recruiting new members had become the second biggest task of the organization. The more people who signed up, the greater the possibility that the Hero Association could continue to maintain stability.

"Don't get too excited just yet," a bald member said, drawing everyone's attention. "Although there are a lot of participants, the quality of the heroes has always been low. In the end, it's still meaningless."

"So, this time the test must be more rigorous," the bald member closed his eyes for emphasis, then opened them slightly to look at Yata and Tokito behind him. "Also, I heard that the talent you mentioned also participated in the test."

"Yes," Shichen's deep voice sounded. He was holding Genos's information in his hand. "Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, there is a high possibility."

Saitama and Genos submitted their applications at the same time. As a cyborg that the Hero Association was paying attention to, Genos's information was of course treated specially.

Shi Chen looked at the application. The ability was written as [Incineration, can self-destruct when necessary], and the reason for joining was written as [To become an apprentice]. No matter how you looked at it, this application looked like it was written in a few seconds after finishing a meal.

This is too careless, Shichen typed the application form, but powerful heroes all have tempers, so Shichen didn't pay much attention.

"So, are there any other talents worth noting?"

"Yes," Yata suddenly said, and everyone's eyes were focused on him. Yata, who was weak to begin with, panicked all of a sudden. He opened his mouth, but his lips, which he often ignored subconsciously, now seemed heavier than steel.

Everyone's gaze gradually turned puzzled. Yata tugged at the hem of his suit, bringing the note with the phone number in his pocket closer to him. He remembered Krieg's encouraging look and suddenly gained strength. "There's another hero named Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle who deserves our attention!"

ps: py is a book also written by JOJO. It has been ranked first on the click list. It is very good.

The Best Villain's Bizarre Journey

Chapter 154 You Really Hurt My Heart

"Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, I've heard of this name before. He's the volunteer hero who's been all the rage lately, right?"

"He's not a volunteer hero, he's already a professional hero. This Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle registered a few days ago. He went there with Yata and the Unlicensed Knight, but he hasn't participated in the rating yet." Shi Chen didn't mind recommending his secretary at this time. Letting him show his face more often might change his personality.

"Not involved in the rating? But I see his resume is quite good. Has he already dealt with this number of monsters? Even an A-rank hero would need several months. It seems that this hero really likes this job."

"I just remember that he seemed to have a good reputation online."

"The Rhinoceros Beetle itself has a favorable impression, so that doesn't mean anything. Although his contribution is qualified, as part of the assessment, his final ranking still depends on his strength."

"Don't be so harsh. With those grades, he's definitely not just some slacker. Haven't you seen his video online? It's probably the most commented on video this year."

"Oh? So he's perfect for publicity? Let me see. Although his appearance isn't great, it wouldn't be impossible to package him a little. Speaking of which, this kind of strength should be considered A-level, right? Sweetheart Mask..."

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Everyone present knew how much Sweet Mask, who was ranked first in Class A, hated monsters. Not to mention how long it would take for a new companion to be ignored by him, the appearance of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle alone was a problem.

The reason for ignoring it was because everyone present knew that getting Sweet Mask to acknowledge a newcomer was about as difficult as getting Dog Man to voluntarily leave his territory.

"It's okay," Yata suddenly said. The others subconsciously looked over, a little surprised to see this nice guy taking the initiative. Yata's face flushed, but he continued to look at them stubbornly, letting the various gazes scrutinize him. "Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle is the hero I'm responsible for. He will definitely become a benchmark in the hero world. I will always believe that."

Everyone blinked and started talking. The confusion mixed in among them sounded almost like ridicule to Yata, but this time he did not lower his head.

While still staring at Genos's information, Shi Chen raised his hand and put it on Yata's shoulder. He couldn't understand why his secretary was so bold today, but he still patted Yata on the shoulder to show encouragement, and at the same time shifted everyone's attention to himself.

Then everyone's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment, "So this is the person you are optimistic about? How rude of you to let your secretary do the talking. Aren't you afraid of frightening Yata?"

"That's right, it's not okay to always bully Yata."

Shi Chen pushed his secretary down on the chair and nodded to everyone. Seeing that he didn't express anything, everyone stopped worrying about it. He was just a hero. No matter how powerful his destructive power was, it couldn't compare to that young cyborg. They could do whatever they wanted. So the topic of the meeting turned to discussing the difficulty of the test.

Unlike major meetings attended by high-level executives and wealthy individuals, this meeting was attended by people who actually did work. The meeting proceeded quickly. It was not the first time for those present to participate in the development of the test, and they were very familiar with the format of the test. The meeting ended in just over ten minutes.

"Well, that concludes the Pro Hero Rating Test. Meeting adjourned."

After the meeting host said his last words, he turned around, pulled out his chair, and was the first to collect the documents.

The sounds of people leaving the conference room could be heard one after another. Yata clenched his fists. Before coming here, everyone here was an idealistic and high-achieving student, but now they have become machines that work for money. In this negative working state, how superior can the conclusions they draw from discussing issues be compared with any other person's proposal?

Time and reality will wear away their ideas. For the first time, Yata was glad for his weakness, because he had never resisted, so the idea of ​​resistance was still attractive to him.

Shi Chen took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook it in his hands, and then skillfully put it in his mouth and lit it. Amidst the smoke, he slumped in his office chair and looked at his secretary with sidelong glances. Suddenly, he felt that this person seemed unfamiliar.

"Yada Takeshi, what are you doing in this meeting?"

"Yes, I just expressed my own thoughts!"

Yata's reply was quick, but this decisiveness made Shichen even more confused. Ultimately, someone needed to take over his position, and Yata was the person he favored. If Yata's personality gradually changed under his training, Shichen would certainly be happy, but this sudden change was clearly not one of them. Especially after interacting with a stranger, it became like this in just a few days. This only made Shichen worried.

"Yada, you're not having any problems, are you?"

"How could that be, Director? I'm living very well here. Thank you for your concern." Yata stood up straight and bowed. "If you don't have anything else, I'll take my leave first."

"Wait, Yata," Shichen stopped him, "I see you seem very optimistic about that Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. Once the specific assessment content is announced, you can send him a copy."

"How can this be so embarrassing? The director is so busy with his work. I believe that hero can solve even such a small problem. Besides, I don't have any way to contact him."

Yata's calm reply dispelled some of Shichen's doubts. He waved his hand to signal Yata that he could leave, so Yata walked past him quickly, leaving behind a cloud of smoke.

Is it really okay?

Shi Chen frowned, he always felt that something was wrong. As a battle-hardened member of the association, he always knew that something would happen every time he felt something was wrong. But Yata seemed to have made progress. Could it be that the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle had given some advice on his career?

It's been a very turbulent time recently. I don't know how long the Hero Association's huge foundation can last. Shichen smoked the cigarette to the end in one breath and exhaled a long breath.

In just three years, the Hero Association's shortcomings have become apparent. It's really ugly, everyone.

Krieg didn't know what the Hero Association discussed. He only knew that tomorrow was the time for the professional hero assessment test. Although he could already control the body of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, he still needed precise practice to keep his physical fitness within the range of A-level heroes.
