"Ding~ Confirm exchange for the Talent Skill of the seventeenth S-Class Hero, Sexy Prisoner?"
"Hmm? Seventeenth S-Class Hero?"
Wu Di froze. He had been so excited that he had forgotten to carefully check the exchange costs for S-Class Talents.
"The seventeenth S-Class Hero Talent Skill requires 10,000 Talent Points to exchange. The sixteenth S-Class Hero, Metal Bat, requires 500,000 Talent Points to exchange for his Talent Skill... The tenth S-Class Hero, Pig God, requires 500,000 Talent Points to exchange for his Talent Skill..."
Wu Di was speechless. The three S-Class Skills the system had initially given him, along with the S-Class Trial Cards that had dropped so frequently afterward, had subconsciously made him think S-Class Talents were easy to obtain.
Now that he carefully examined the Talent Skill exchange list, aside from Sexy Prisoner's Naked Angel Form, every other option carried an astronomical price.
With the 10,000 Talent Points in his possession, he could not exchange them for a damn thing. Only now did he realize just how precious the three S-Class Skills he had obtained were.
Sixteenth S-Class Hero, Metal Bat. Talent Skill: Fighting Spirit. Exchange cost: 500,000 Talent Points.
Eighth S-Class Hero, Zombieman. Talent Skill: Immortality. Exchange cost: 1,000,000 Talent Points.
Seventh S-Class Hero, KING. Talent Skill: Ultimate Summoning Technique. Exchange cost: 5,000,000 Talent Points.
The Talent Points required for each of the three S-Class Talents were astronomical. Wu Di had killed so many monsters, yet he had only accumulated 10,000 Talent Points so far.
"Ugh, when will I ever be able to exchange for an S-Class Talent?"
Wu Di gloomily smacked his forehead. Exchanging for Skills was hopeless for now, but he could still use Pig God's Skill nine more times. His remaining devouring attempts would be immensely valuable.
"Ding~ The host has spent 10,000 Talent Points, unlocking the Mission System. The system will randomly issue missions. Mission rewards include large quantities of Talent Points and Talent Value progress, and there may even be additional Talents."
The system's voice rang out again. Wu Di paused, then gritted his teeth and made his decision.
"Fine, spend 10,000 Talent Points and add them to the Talent Value for Fighting Spirit!"
After working hard for years, he had returned to square one overnight.
But Fighting Spirit truly counted as a Divine Skill. If Wu Di could obtain Teacher Saitama's Talent Skill in the future, combined with the boost from Fighting Spirit, it would be utterly World-Destroying.
"Ding~ Congratulations, the host has spent 10,000 Talent Points and unlocked the Mission System."
"The current Talent Value progress for Fighting Spirit is 2 percent."
"Holy shit! You gave me only 2 percent for 10,000 Talent Points? You damn system, give my Talent Points back!"
Wu Di was nearly driven mad. 10,000 Talent Points had added so little progress. If he had known, he might as well have exchanged for Sexy Prisoner's Talent Skill. At least it was an S-Class Talent.
At worst, he would wear nothing but underwear and a mask while fighting monsters in the future. He would merely have to change his title on the Hero Association's official website to Underwear Masked Hero.
"Ding~ System mission issued: Defeat Sonic without using a Trial Card. Mission reward: 3,000 Talent Points and one random Trial Card."
As if trying to shut Wu Di up, the Talent Bloodline System immediately issued a mission.
"Three thousand?"
Wu Di pondered it for a while. Killing a Peak Demon-level monster like Mosquito Girl had only earned him 1,000 points. It seemed that completing missions was the faster way to earn Talent Points.
"Fine, let's set off and find Sonic Egg... Ah, no, Sonic!"
Sonic's current strength was at most comparable to Genos's. Without weapons, he could not even deal with the Demon-level Deep Sea King. Wu Di was confident in handling an opponent like that.
Besides, the mission objective was to defeat him, not kill him. Even without using a Trial Card, the chances of success were high.
In a skyscraper in F City, the richest man, Qian Ni'er, anxiously paced back and forth.
"Mr. Qian Ni'er, please escape quickly. Our mercenaries have all been defeated. Those terrorists will break in at any moment."
"But if I just run away like this, won't it leave a terrible impression on everyone...?"
A blond man in pajamas looked extremely reluctant. At some point, a man dressed in black had appeared in the room.
"There is no need. Consider yourself lucky; your employment period has not yet ended."
"Oh! Sonic, can I leave everything to you? After all, they are Super Strong terrorists."
"Hmph~ You should be worried about whether they will survive!"
Whoosh~ Sonic vanished like a ghost. Meanwhile, in a forest not far from F City, a group of bald men had their path blocked.
"Who is this masked guy? Is he Qian Ni'er's lapdog?"
"B-Class Bounty? Hammerhead."
Wu Di was somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to head straight to F City to look for Sonic.
Before he could even arrive, he happened to encounter the Taoyuan Group's riot. He had not wanted to meddle, but after seeing the Battle Suits they wore, he suddenly changed his mind.
"Battle Suits that can increase attack and critical damage... I wonder how much they can improve combat power."
Wu Di was instantly intrigued. Hammerhead was just an ordinary person, yet after putting on a Battle Suit, he could exchange a few moves with Sonic. Wu Di wondered how much the Battle Suit would enhance him.
"You bastard, are you looking to die? Boss, leave him to us! Brothers, attack!"
The group charged at Wu Di without fear. The man at the front threw a punch, but it missed.
"Enough power to destroy a building, but unfortunately, there is no protection around the head."
Wu Di avoided the attack and blew the bald man's head apart with a single punch.
"Too slow to react. Are they still just ordinary people after all?"
Bang, bang, bang~ Wu Di darted and weaved through the crowd. Hammerhead's underlings could not react at all, and their heads exploded one after another.
"Damn it, who the hell is this guy? How can he be this strong?"
Cold sweat streamed down Hammerhead's forehead. Before he could make a move, Wu Di was already standing before him.
"You bastard!"
Hammerhead roared and slammed his twin hammers into the ground. The earth in every direction suddenly split apart, forcing Wu Di to retreat.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ Massive rocks came whistling toward him. Wu Di dodged them with agile footwork, while Hammerhead uprooted a large tree with his bare hands and smashed it down in fury.
Rumble~ With a deafening crash, dust billowed everywhere. Hammerhead stood in place, gasping for breath.
"He's finally dead. He actually dared to destroy the Taoyuan Group I worked so hard to build."
"Your skull is pretty tough, huh?"
"What?"
Hammerhead turned around and saw only a massive fist. Then darkness swallowed his vision.
"At the end of the day, he was only an ordinary person."
Wu Di looked at Hammerhead, who was dead beyond doubt, and unhesitatingly stripped the Battle Suit from his body.
"Ding~ The system has detected a Battle Suit. It can be exchanged for Talent Points or synthesized."
