Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

"Hey, I don't have a house or money right now. Your association must have some kind of welfare policy, right?" Bai Ye asked the staff member.

"Of course, no problem. According to the association's welfare policy, S-class heroes can receive a portion of their salary in advance if needed, which is more than enough for your living expenses," the staff member said.

"Alright, take me to find a place to stay," Bai Ye said in a tone that sounded like he was ordering his subordinates around.

"Of course, no problem. I'll take you to the assigned house right away." The staff member nodded repeatedly, temporarily becoming Bai Ye's personal assistant.

As the staff led Bai Ye out of the Hero Association's gate in a fawning tone, the reincarnators squatting to the side were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing they could immediately jump out and replicate Bai Ye's actions.

"By the way, they're our friends, and they all seem quite strong, but like me, they don't have identification. Could you arrange a hero test for them as soon as possible?"

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly pointed to the pitiful reincarnators in the corner and said.

"Oh, are there really so many people here?" The staff member was taken aback.

After Bai Ye spoke, the reincarnators who had come to their senses immediately changed their tune and took action.

"Big Brother!!!"

One of the reincarnators gracefully slid to his knees and came up behind Bai Ye, clasping his hands in greeting to the staff: "Hello, I am Big Brother's number one underling, Iron Fist Tiger. Please give me your guidance."

"And me, I'm the number two underling of the eldest brother, the Black-Hearted War God, please give me your guidance."

"I am number three..."

"I am number six..."

"I am my godfather's adopted son, please call me..."

"He's actually my uncle..."

In the short time it took Bai Ye to say a few words, these reincarnators abandoned all their morals in order to join the Hero Association, bringing dozens of relatives with them, as if they came from the same village.

Even Ivanov, who was previously known for his integrity, has now abandoned all scruples and taken on the title of White Night Six's underling.

"Well... that's not impossible. I'll report it to the association later, and we can hold a special test this evening."

Out of respect for Byakuya, the Hero Association's originally firm principles immediately became more flexible, and the staff member nodded after thinking for a while.

However, a few hours later, the Hero Association discovered that Bai Ye's relatives were all at least A-level experts, leading them to suspect that Bai Ye and his group came from Wu Family Village.

Chapter 196 Saitama's Failed Life!

"Force...force of 300,000 tons?"

"Running speed of 1...1000 meters per second?"

"Jumping back and forth 70 times in one second?"

……

At this moment, at a branch of the Hero Association.

Looking at the reincarnators in front of them, each displaying their unique abilities, the staff members all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Among these people, any one of them possesses at least the physical qualities of an A-level hero, and seven or eight of them have even surpassed the threshold of S-level.

Two of them even easily broke the limits of the mechanical test, making it impossible to perceive each other's upper limit.

Not to mention that these reincarnators almost all possess several superpowers of considerable strength.

The reincarnators grinned maliciously at the staff, feeling triumphant and finally having the chance to show their power.

"You... are all subordinates of the nemesis? And you came from the same place as him?" The staff member was shocked. When did S-class heroes become so common?

Meanwhile, the situation here immediately attracted the attention of the Hero Association headquarters, and soon a special team came down to investigate, but in the end, they still concluded that there was no problem.

In the final written test, these seasoned veterans naturally had no problem, and each of them easily passed with near-perfect scores.

Then, in just one day, the Hero Association gained three more S-class and over thirty A-class heroes, leaving those unaware of the inside story feeling as if it were all unreal.

"Warning, warning! Multiple explosions have occurred in Z City, believed to be the work of a Demon-level monster. Heroes in the vicinity are requested to provide assistance."

At that moment, a piercing sound rang out from the Hero Association's broadcast, attracting the attention of the reincarnators.

These people have all become at least A-rank heroes. The threat of annihilation has been resolved, and now they need to complete missions to improve their ratings.

"However, isn't it a bit too coincidental that another demon-level monster has committed a crime so quickly in the same city of Z?"

Some of the reincarnators harbored suspicions, guessing that the incident was committed by those who chose the "monster" camp.

This speculation was quickly confirmed, as Z City was immediately thrown into chaos, with multiple different individuals committing crimes in various areas.

According to statistics, more than a dozen monsters at least at the Demon level suddenly appeared and committed crimes in Z-City, and they made no attempt to hide being caught on surveillance cameras, clearly wanting to be put on the Hero Association's wanted list.

However, these reborn individuals from opposing factions were also quite cunning. After making a brief appearance by destroying a street, they went into complete hiding and avoided direct confrontation with the authorities.

This is also to prevent the forty-odd reincarnators in the hero faction from using it to increase their merits.

The entire chaotic process didn't last long. After dozens of streets in Z City were destroyed, everything quickly calmed down. If it weren't for the smoke-filled city, it would have seemed as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye discovered a special person.

"Hey, you bald guy over there." On the street, Bai Ye, who had finished looking at houses and was strolling around, shouted at a figure running at high speed.

The other person had a distinctive lightbulb-shaped head and listless, dead-fish eyes. He was wearing a yellow Superman suit with a white cape and red gloves. Wasn't that Saitama?

At this moment, the other party is running at an extremely fast speed, trying to reach one of the disaster sites.

But after Bai Ye finished yelling, the other person glared at him with several veins popping out on his forehead and said, "Hey, what's wrong with being bald? Do you have a problem with that?"

"No, no, I just thought your light bulb-shaped head looked nice, so I called out to you. Your name is Saitama, right?" Bai Ye watched the other person run and chased after him.

"How do you know my name?" Saitama looked at Byakuya with a puzzled expression, then suddenly realized, "I understand, you must have been saved by me before, right?"

“That’s not right at all.” Bai Ye ran side by side with Saitama and said to him, “I just like you, so I wanted to have a chat with you.”

"Want to chat? But I need to go rescue the others now. Let's talk after I've taken care of this," Saitama said nonchalantly.

Watching Saitama run, Bai Ye frowned. The next moment, he pushed off the ground with both legs and disappeared at the end of the road at a speed dozens of times faster than Saitama, to Saitama's astonishment.

In the western district of Z City, a five-meter-tall, beast-like reincarnator swung his fist, which was several times larger than a sandbag, and kept smashing it.

With each punch, more than a dozen buildings were blasted down by the force of his punch, turning into countless fragments.

"To be a hero, you need a legitimate identity to participate in the tests. It's much faster to be a monster. Just shoot and move on; the more destruction you cause, the easier it is to meet the requirements."

The beast-like reincarnators wreaked havoc, destroying several surrounding streets and injuring or killing tens of thousands of people in just one minute.

But the next moment, a figure came from afar and threw a simple punch that hit him.

Amidst the exploding rain of blood, splattered blood and entrails covered the entire street, now reduced to ruins.

Bai Ye withdrew his fist and looked at the trembling crowd in the ruins, saying, "Hey, I'm the nemesis. Remember to give my name when the association comes to investigate later."

After saying that, Bai Ye turned his gaze to Saitama, who had arrived late, and said, "I've taken care of the matter. Now we can talk, shall we?"

"How did you do that?" Saitama's eyes lit up as he looked at Byakuya with immense curiosity. "How can you run so fast without damaging the surrounding environment?"

Saitama wasn't surprised at all by Byakuya's strength; instead, he was curious about Byakuya's ability to move at high speed.

He usually suppresses his running speed because he doesn't want to damage the environment. If he could learn this technique, wouldn't he be able to fight monsters even better?

“This is my superpower, you can’t learn it.” Bai Ye directly denied Saitama’s expectations, and seeing the other’s disappointed look, he added, “You want to be famous, don’t you?”

"What?" Saitama stared blankly at Byakuya.

"He clearly possesses invincible power, yet no one understands him; he desires a wealthy life, yet he lives in the suburbs; he has a strong desire for fame, yet no one recognizes him."

Looking at Saitama, who seemed to have been hurt, Byakuya accurately commented, "Your life is truly a failure."

"What? Failure? No way, that's just because I'm indifferent to fame and fortune..." Saitama felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously wanted to make excuses, but was stopped by Byakuya's all-seeing gaze.

"Stop deceiving yourself. You want an opponent, you want money, you want friends, you want fame... You want so many things, but you get nothing in return. So you're just using this so-called indifference to fool yourself." Bai Ye pointed at Saitama and said seriously.

Chapter 197 Saitama VS Tank Top Master

Is Saitama a good person?

In Bai Ye's assessment, he was undoubtedly a good person.

Although he had all sorts of desires.

I want to be worshipped by everyone, to be a big star and a hero; I want to have a wealthy life; I want...

But all of these desires are just human nature. Despite having the power to not eat beef, he never abused his power to obtain them.

Even if he doesn't abuse his power, gold shines wherever it is, and someone should have noticed his difference and then obtained everything through normal means.

But he didn't. Despite possessing invincible power, the damned fate of this world and the bizarre perception of the masses, which seemed to alter common sense, forced Saitama to remain unknown for three years, living in cramped conditions in the suburbs like a piece of trash from the sewers.

If Saitama were just an emotionless machine, that would be one thing, but he clearly has all sorts of human desires, yet this damned world is toying with him like this.

If it were Bai Ye himself, he would have said no to this world long ago, and then attacked everyone he met, going on a rampage across the entire world like a madman!

Why should good people have guns pointed at them?

He wants to change anything that Bai Ye cannot tolerate.

"So, let me help you become famous." Dream Angel Byakuya patted Saitama on the shoulder and said, "Then you will become a big star, live in a big house, and won't have to worry about supermarket sales."

“This…” Saitama scratched his forehead with his red-gloved fingers, feeling a shameful flutter of excitement.

“Then it’s decided. Come on, I’ll take you to report and become a hero.” With a goal in mind, Bai Ye said with great enthusiasm.

"Become a hero?" Saitama scratched his head in confusion and said, "Aren't I already a hero?"

"You are a hero, but in other people's eyes you are not even a hero." Bai Ye said ambiguously.

"Three years ago, a Hero Association was established. In the eyes of others, only those who have been tested within the association and proved their strength can be considered regular heroes. Moreover, the higher the ranking of a hero, the stronger they are and the more famous they are."

“Nobody knows a non-professional hero like you. Just like the Joker, you get nothing out of defeating monsters except for adding them to your dinner,” Bai Ye said disdainfully.

"Do you still get paid if you're a pro hero?" Saitama's eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, even a Grade A fighter earns at least several hundred thousand yuan a month. For the past three years, you've been working for others for free. All the monsters you fought have been claimed by others under false names and become their pay slips," Bai Ye rolled his eyes.

"Is...is that so?" Saitama was shocked. He realized he had missed so much all this time. No wonder he had been fighting monsters for so long and still had no reputation.

“Otherwise, what hero would be as poor and unknown as you? Even Spider-Man has a huge reputation.” Bai Ye continued to stab him in the heart, then pulled him directly toward the Hero Association.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't pull me, I'll go with you." Saitama couldn't help but say as Bai Ye pulled him along.
