MTL - The Supernatural Skill System of the Emperor Engine-Chapter 38
"After you become a perfect hero, Mr. King, your income will be improved qualitatively, which will be more than several times the current level."
"By that time, Mr. King, your fame and wealth will also have a qualitative leap."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, there were faint rays of light in King's eyes.
Fame will definitely help you gain Fame Points, and the increase in income will also allow King to buy more games and peripherals.
Noticing the change in King's expression, the smile on Sweetheart's face became more obvious, and continued:
"Mr. King ready to change his mind?"
"May I ask what your so-called perfect hero needs to do every day?"
"In addition to eliminating the necessary weirdos every day, I have to often participate in various public activities, public speeches, interact with citizens, do public welfare, etc. The daily schedule will be quite busy..."
Sweetheart Mask said that his daily schedule is almost full, and there is no free time at all.
"That's too much trouble."
King shook his head, if he really became that kind of perfect hero, he probably wouldn't even have time to play games.
He is a person who is afraid of trouble. Although Sweetheart Mask has a high reputation among the people, when he thinks that he may be busy with various itineraries and dealings with various people every day like the other party, King feels the head. big.
"No trouble!"
Sweetheart Mask hurriedly said,
"My team will take care of everything else. You don't need Mr. King to do it yourself. Mr. King, you just need to do heroic activities according to your usual habits!"
"A little makeup at most, just a little smile in front of everyone!"
"I'm sure you can become a star and be more popular than me. I can even act as your agent, Mr. King, to help you get rid of all troubles!"
Sweetheart Masquerade has absolute confidence in his own abilities. A lot of the funds of the Hero Association are raised by Sweetheart Masquerade. At the same time, he is also the operation consultant of the Hero Association. Time has such a powerful influence, and Sweetheart Mask plays an indelible role in it.
It can be said that as long as Sweetheart Mask is willing to make a move, he can definitely package anyone into a world-class star.
At this moment, King's heart is a little helpless.
It seems that the other party is not someone who can be easily persuaded.
You have to find a way to reject him.
King was looking for a reason to politely reject the other party, so he continued:
"Sorry Sweet Mask, you seem to have misunderstood our hero's work a little bit."
"Our job is to repel the weirdos and protect the safety of the common people."
"It's not our job to please other people."
King deliberately said in a deep tone, making his words sound more serious.
"Can......"
After hearing King's words, Sweetheart Mask didn't know how to refute for a while.
To be able to become a star like Sweetheart Mask, this is the treatment that many heroes can't get in their dreams.
But King refused.
But after listening to King's words, Sweetheart Mask was not only not angry, but even more certain that the other party was the most suitable person to become the perfect hero in his heart.
"Other S-class heroes should be better candidates than me."
king added.
"The rest of the S-tier heroes are too self-centered."
"Some people are quite powerful but have bad personalities, some have decent personalities but lack ability, and some are simply not in line with the public's aesthetics."
"In my mind, only you, King, are the best fit for this position."
Sweetheart Mask continued, with anticipation in her eyes.
"Why are you looking for a perfect hero, aren't you?"
king asked back.
"I....."
Hearing King's words, Sweetheart Mask's brows twitched slightly, her mouth opened slightly, and she was about to say something, but she seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
In fact, Sweetheart Mask has realized that his body is becoming weird.
Sweetheart Mask was originally an ugly person. Although he became a professional hero, he had to wear a mask to carry out activities, and because he cursed his ugliness to the extreme, his body had become eccentric, and his appearance had become what it is today. The look of this handsome guy.
It can be said that Sweetheart is actually a weirdo hidden in the Hero Association, but no one ever noticed it.
But Sweetheart Mask is not evil, he has been performing the duty of a hero, expanding the scale of the Hero Association, serving as an advisor to the Hero Association, and staying at the top of the A-level, being very strict with other heroes, everything is like this .
But as the weirdness became more and more serious, Sweetheart Mask's behavior became more and more extreme, and he also clearly felt that his humanity was getting weaker and weaker, and one day he would completely become a weirdo.
So Sweetheart Mask needs to find a suitable candidate to inherit the mantle of his perfect hero.
After seeing the appearance of king fighting, Sweetheart Mask realized that the opponent has power beyond his reach. Combined with the achievements created by the opponent, it may be above the tornado. Compared with other S-class heroes, king can say that is the only candidate.
But these things, Sweetheart Mask is not willing to say, he does not know King's current position, if he reveals his eccentric identity now, it is very likely that he will be hunted down by the other party or even the entire Hero Association.
"Sorry, I can't say it yet."
A smile appeared on Sweetheart's face.
"Since that's the case, I won't ask any further."
While speaking, King stood up from his seat and said firmly,
"But I'm sorry, I don't have the idea of being a perfect hero, I have my own way of acting."
After finishing speaking, King nodded towards Sweetheart Mask, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Chapter 65: Three visits to the cottage, the visit of the sweet mask
Looking at the back of King's disappearing, Sweetheart Mask pursed her lips, but she confirmed in her heart that King was the most suitable person in her mind.
"No, I won't give up so easily."
"Only king is the most suitable for you to be the most perfect hero."
Sweetheart Mask's gaze became extremely firm.
......
After parting with Sweetheart Mask, King wandered around and started patrolling.
There are enough people in the no-man's land in Z City, and the investigation has basically ended, and there is no substantial progress, so there is no need for King to return to Z City.
The environment in the no-man’s-land is intricate and complicated, and the Weird Association is lurking deep underground, and all traces left on the surface have been removed, so the Hero Association has not been able to detect the existence of the Weird Association so far.
In order to increase his reputation, King chose to go to the surrounding urban areas to patrol, looking for some weirdos to increase his reputation.
Before I knew it, it was almost four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the king had returned home at this time.
After almost a whole day's work, he has eliminated a large number of weirdos in public, and his reputation has been improved to a certain extent. Although they are all very ordinary weirdos, their influence is not large, but if this progress continues, In just a few weeks, he will soon be able to accumulate 100 million reputation points and draw new skills.
Looking at his rising reputation point, King's state of mind is very calm.
In the past, he thought that a hero was a very great profession, protecting citizens from fire and water.
But now that after he becomes a hero, the hero is more like an ordinary job, killing monsters is just for the sake of gaining reputation points, and protecting the public seems to be a matter of the way.
In the face of absolute crushing, eradicating geeks seems to be the same as plucking weeds.
Are heroes supposed to be like this?
He couldn't help but think of the night before, his strength weakened because of the night, after a fierce ideological struggle, he stood in front of the cutting king and saved Sykes.
If it was before, King himself would definitely run away in the crowd.
The former king knew how weak he was. Even if he had a heart to save others, he could do nothing but put his own safety first.
But now, something seems to be different.
After the incident, when I recalled it, the king would feel cold sweat pouring out. If the cutting king hadn't retreated at that time, he might not have been able to retreat.
It was hard for the king to believe that he had made such a risky move at the time.
The one with power and the one without power, which one is more a hero?
"Forget it."
King shook his head. He hated thinking about such troublesome things the most. He entered his room, picked up the game console, and entered his own game world.
......
Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, it was getting late.
"I am back!"
With a crisp door opening, a female voice came in.
Fubuki had returned home at this time.
With milk tea and snacks in her hand, she walked quickly to the king's room, her light steps made a sound on the wooden floor, and the necklace on her chest swayed up and down with the shaking of her body.
"I brought you some snacks!"
Fubuki put the snacks and milk tea next to the king and sat down.
Now she is trying every means to be courteous to the king to draw in the relationship between the two.
"Thanks for your hard work."
King put down the gamepad and nodded to Fubuki,
"What are the results of your investigation?"
"There has been no real progress."
Fubuki shrugged,
"Nothing has been found, and there are no other traces of the collective activity of the eccentrics."
"Not only that, there is one more thing I must tell you about King!"
"There are still people living in no-man's land!"
"Does anyone still live in a no-man's land?"
King turned his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Fubuki.
Previously, due to the outbreak of weirdos, the citizens who originally lived in the no-man’s land have moved out of the place. However, because the water and electricity systems of the entire city are connected together, it is very risky to turn off the water and electricity in the no-man’s land alone. In no man's land, there is still water and electricity in theory, and there are indeed living conditions for people to live in.
But if you can live in a no-man’s land, you are definitely not ordinary people.
"Yeah, it's a weird bald head."
Fubuki said in a tone with a hint of complaint,
"He had some unpleasantness with us just because of our Hero Association's investigation activities."
"The guy thinks our investigation is disrupting his life."
"And it looks like he's a folk hero, but he's not registered with the Hero Association yet."
"Bald head..."
King stretched out his finger and gently rubbed his chin. He seemed to have seen a bald head recently, but it was just an impression.
"And then what?"
"After eliminating the suspicion with the weirdo, we wanted him to move out of the place, but the other party refused on the grounds that there was no need to pay rent there, so we did not continue to control him for the time being."
"I see."
Kin nodded, and had to sigh in his heart that the other party was really a strange guy,
"Where's Sykes?"
"That guy left soon after you left. It seems that he was afraid of trouble."
Fubuki paused for a while, as if thinking of something, and continued to ask,
"Is there something wrong with the sweet mask looking for the king?"
