"He got away? As expected of Sonic."
Wu Di gasped for air, the side effects of using his Aura gradually manifesting.
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining B-Class rank 1, Blizzard of Hell's talent skill. Talent: Psychic Powers (Wind Control), Skill: Hell Storm. Talent growth value: zero percent. Valid for three days, usable for one hour."
"That's great, more of Fubuki's Psychic Powers!"
Wu Di was ecstatic. He remembered that the first time he used Psychic Powers, he had instantly killed a Below Dragon-level Vaccine Man.
"Wait, hold on a second! Zero percent talent growth value???"
Wu Di's eyes widened instantly. He knew how crucial talent growth value was. Don't underestimate this fifty percent; it was like the difference between a Tiger-level monster and a Dragon-level monster, a chasm of difference.
"Talent skills are generated randomly."
The talent system dropped a cold sentence. But before Wu Di could curse, another prompt sounded.
"Ding~ Random mission triggered: Defeat Garou. Mission reward: 5,000 talent points, one random experience card."
"Ding~ Mission activated: Monster Slaughter Order. Mission reward: 500,000 talent points."
The string of notifications left Wu Di stunned. He only accepted reality after repeatedly confirming.
"Five hundred thousand talent points!"
Wu Di's eyes gleamed. However, the usually stingy system suddenly becoming so generous suggested that the mission's difficulty would be extraordinary.
"Monster Slaughter Order, hiss~"
Wu Di carefully examined the Monster Slaughter Order and truly realized the mission's difficulty.
"Monster Slaughter Order: Kill 80 monsters below Demon-level, 15 Demon-level monsters, and 5 Dragon-level monsters. Time limit: three months. Failure to complete the mission will result in the random removal of one of the Host's talents."
Within three months, let alone killing a hundred monsters, he might not even be able to find so many, and that included five Dragon-level monsters.
He recalled that the Dragon-level monsters he had killed previously were either due to sheer luck or the use of powerful experience cards.
But experience cards had limited durations. Even if he drew an S-Class, ultra-high combat power experience card, Wu Di wouldn't be able to find so many Dragon-level monsters in a short period.
"This is truly ruthless, randomly removing a talent. If there's a monster gathering place, it's probably only that one location..."
Wu Di's gaze became resolute. He currently possessed three S-Class talents, and losing any one of them would be unacceptable.
"Ding~ If the Host can complete the mission within two months, an additional reward will be granted: the skill Normal Punch, with one use."
"Holy crap!"
Wu Di was stunned by the mission's bonus reward. Saitama's Normal and Serious series were talent skills he had always dreamed of.
Saitama's Serious Punch could almost destroy a planet, and even his Normal Punch was enough to instantly kill a peak Dragon-level monster, potentially even possessing God-level power.
"To find so many monsters, the only place is probably there."
Wu Di calmed down and thought of a location: the uninhabited area of Z City.
That was also Saitama's home, but perhaps no one else dared to live there because the Monster Association was directly beneath Z City.
"Two months to find a hundred monsters, I need to hurry."
In A City, within the Hero Headquarters' conference hall, high-ranking officials of the Hero Association gathered to discuss important matters.
"I heard there's a new group called the Taoyuan Group? They seem to be disrupting public order."
"Yes, but they've already been dealt with by B-Class rank 1, Mumen Rider."
"Is this guy still unwilling to be promoted to B-Class?"
Sekiguchi shook his head helplessly. In reality, Mumen Rider had very high public support, and he also wanted to increase the hero's rank.
However, Mumen Rider was quite satisfied with his current ranking and unwilling to be promoted, so the association couldn't do anything.
"Also, monster disasters have become increasingly frequent lately."
"Yes, but we've also investigated and found that the source of the monsters seems to be in the uninhabited area of Z City."
Director Sekiguchi's expression was serious. The continuous emergence of monsters in the cities recently had caused immeasurable damage.
"The association has already dispatched two heroes for reconnaissance: Golden Ball, rank 29 in A-Class, and Spring Mustaches, rank 33 in A-Class."
Supervisor Jace reported in detail with the report, but his eyes were somewhat solemn. After all, Z City was known as a ghost town, and it was highly possible that monsters of Demon-level or above existed there.
And in the uninhabited area of Z City, Golden Ball, rank 29 in A-Class, had already fallen to the ground, unconscious, leaving only Spring Mustaches, in a sorry state, barely standing.
"Damn it, to encounter such a monster so easily. Even if it were free, I wouldn't want to live here..."
Spring Mustaches wore a bitter smile on his face before losing consciousness and falling to the ground.
"So boring, is this how it ends? Not even a scream?"
Countless long tendrils waved in the air. A humanoid monster, entirely black, stood in place, looking boredly at the two unconscious heroes.
Swish The monster suddenly attacked the unconscious Spring Mustaches, seemingly intending to kill him directly.
Bang At the critical moment, a figure flashed by, directly saving Spring Mustaches.
"Hmm? Someone else? As expected, rumors are unreliable. If there were truly powerful monsters here, how could humans still be living here?"
"Good thing I didn't come late."
Wu Di placed Spring Mustaches and Golden Ball in a safe location and turned towards the Kelp Monster.
"Monster sighting in the no-man's-land of Z City. Two heroes are in a tough fight. Requesting immediate support from nearby heroes ranked A-Class or higher!!!"
Wu Di looked at the message from the Hero Association on his phone and immediately made a call.
"C-Class, 50th rank, Wu Di, has arrived on scene. Both heroes are unconscious but not in mortal danger. Leave the monster to me."
"C-Class, 50th rank, Wu Di?"
Jace was taken aback by the voice on the phone, his expression changing drastically as he snatched the phone from customer service representative Maria.
"You need to get out of there immediately! That's not an enemy you can handle. We've already dispatched nearby A-Class heroes for support. Until they arrive, just focus on your own safety!"
"Beep beep beep~"
Before Jace could finish speaking, Wu Di had already hung up the phone.
"Supervisor Jace, what should we do? Both A-Class heroes have lost their combat ability and are unconscious. It might take a long time for nearby heroes to provide reinforcements!"
"Anyone below A-Class going there would just be suicide! All we can do now is pray for his luck. However, it seems this person has other secrets..."
Jace was holding Wu Di's file at that moment. After all, he was a new member of the Hero Association. His past achievements only included easily defeating several Wolf-level monsters, and his true strength had never been revealed.
"How strong is your true power? Let's see it this time!"
