A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Chapter 46 Agent Anzu

Xingzi picked up the paper cup of hot coffee and took small sips. Her adorable appearance made the young police officer next to her stare in disbelief. Her cheerful smile, which had previously been tinged with maturity and a touch of charm, instantly broke through his heart. His heart raced and his breathing quickened. He even started thinking about which kindergarten their child should go to.

"Could you please retrieve my training results from the system?"

Apricot's soft, sweet voice rang out, startling the young police officer from his reverie. He scratched his head sheepishly, blushing, and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Just a moment... just a moment, I'll be right there!"

As he spoke, he fled in a flustered manner toward the control room next door, as if he were an inexperienced young boy suddenly encountering his first love.

An eagle gleamed in Anzu's eyes. Certain special knowledge within superpowers was indeed useful, and the results of her initial experiment were quite satisfactory.

Lost in thought, her gaze involuntarily shifted to Qiao Sen beside her: "Section Chief~ uh..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a femme fatale," Johnson reached out and pressed down on Kyoko's head, suppressing his subordinate who wanted to cause trouble with one hand. "But you wouldn't want to use the superpowers I gave you against me, would you, Kyoko-san?"

"I was a little excited about just getting superpowers, wasn't I?" Kyoko struggled to break free from Johnson's large hand and pouted. "But it shouldn't be like this. It's called a superpower, but it's actually a scientific theory formed after in-depth analysis and research on men. Plus, with my natural beauty, it shouldn't have no effect on you, Section Chief, right?"

"Section Chief, you don't dislike women, do you? Oh dear..."

After being brutally chopped by Qiao Sen, Xingzi covered her reddened forehead with tears in her eyes, presenting a pitiful and heart-wrenching sight.

It's just that there's no one around right now. If there were even a few male creatures nearby, they would probably turn into protectors of the flower and attack Qiao Sen with red eyes.

"Don't try that on me. Smearing and defaming your superiors like that, I'll sue you for defamation in a heartbeat." Qiao Sen clapped his hands, as if recalling the feeling of the blow just now. "The effect was not bad, at least the resilience has improved a lot."

"What do you mean?" Kyoko immediately became alert, carefully covering her chest, and said warily, "Section Chief, is your purpose in strengthening me to find a suitable punching bag? I will absolutely not submit!"

"...Stop with your dark thoughts, or rather, you're far from being a punching bag." Johnson shook his head in exasperation. "Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be going now. As for you, don't forget to clean up the mess you've made."

Xingzi frowned, displeased, and said, "What do you mean by 'the mess I made'..."

"Senior Anzu!"

A loud shout, brimming with masculine hormones, came from outside the door, and Kyoko felt a strange sense of unease.

"I've got the data you requested!" The young police officer in charge of the training ground was sweating and his voice trembled slightly. "Excuse me... are you free tonight?"

"Uh……"

Xingzi felt a chill run down her spine, finally understanding what Qiaosen meant by the mess.

She instinctively turned around, but there was no sign of Qiao Sen where she had been. Xingzi's vision went black.

The helpless policewoman sighed and laughed awkwardly, forced to face reality.

The next second, a scorching offensive surged forth. The inexperienced Black Widow appeared to be handling it with ease, but in reality, she was trembling with fear.

'I'll never use my colleagues to test my superpowers again!' (Tearful voice)

……

Having confirmed that Kyoko had adapted well to the character card's abilities, Johnson left the police station satisfied.

To be honest, Black Widow Natasha isn't a superhero focused on direct combat, but as a support character, her functionality and versatility are undeniable, making her the perfect choice to be paired with Anzu, her second-in-command.

At that moment, the electronic screen on the ground floor of the commercial building was broadcasting the midday news.

"...It is reported that three wolf-level monster incidents occurred in J City this morning, all of which were successfully repelled by the recently active C-class hero 'Mumen Rider'. Although Mumen Rider was seriously injured as a result, his popularity and support rate as the newest hero are rising rapidly. At this rate, he has a high probability of competing for the position of the number one C-class hero."

"...Now for a breaking news report: Just now, the Tiger-level monster 'Debt-ridden Thug' that attacked the commercial street of City A was defeated by the combined efforts of A-class heroes 'Smiling Superman,' B-class heroes 'Crying Superman' and 'Soaring Good Boy,' and C-class heroes 'Angry Superman' and 'Mysterious Mask.' Citizens at the scene rushed to take photos with the heroes..."

Yes, that's right. The head of the Special Affairs Section has once again left work early and is looking for food in one of the few food streets in Z City.

Looking at the overwhelming news about heroes around him, Johnson seemed to be deep in thought.

If I have extra character cards in the future, helping those heroes with average strength but noble souls become stronger would be a good choice.

Firstly, it allows heroes with lower potential to play a stronger role, and secondly, the idea of ​​an S-class hero like "Mumen Rider" is very appealing.

Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wilderness.

Similarly, in this world, only justice should not be betrayed.

"Hot dogs on clearance sale! Delicious and cheap, only available to the first 100 customers, hurry and grab yours!"

"Special offer hot dogs..."

The sound coming from not far away made Johnson stop in his tracks. He was originally planning to go into a Western restaurant that looked quite nice for lunch, but when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw a young man wearing a white chef's uniform and a chef's hat pushing a food cart and loudly hawking his wares.

"Special hot dogs? I'm starving, give me one."

"I want one too."

"Can I buy two portions? Okay, I'll take two portions."

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, people around were attracted by the hawking, and business was quite good.

After waiting for the customers surrounding the food cart to disperse, Johnson stepped forward and said, "Give me a hot dog too, Saitama. What happened? You changed jobs again?"

"Hey, it's Johnson." Saitama skillfully took the banknotes from Johnson and took out a box of hot dog buns covered with cheese and sauce from under the food cart. "Didn't my boss quit? Although I took some usable supplies from the ruins to pay my wages, I still need money for a living, so I had to come out and work again."

"Then keep it up," Johnson took a bite of the hot dog. The chewy sausage and well-balanced sauce were surprisingly good. "It's surprisingly delicious! Give me another one."

Saitama chuckled and took out another hot dog: "Okay, thank you for your patronage."

Chapter 47 Card Beast Super Evolution!

“Of course,” Johnson paid and took the money, saying as he ate, “After get off work, we’re going to have dinner at Old Master Bang’s dojo. I heard that one of his new disciples is good at Chinese cuisine, and his Mapo Tofu is especially delicious!”

Saitama's eyes lit up: "Really? Then I'll definitely be there on time!"

Moon to midday.

Saitama, who got drunk with the old man, ended up staying overnight at the dojo. Anyway, the fast food restaurant where he did odd jobs didn't open until noon, so he could make it back the next day.

Thanks to his newly acquired skill "Instant Teleportation," Johnson's mobility has been completely unleashed. In the One-Punch Man world alone, even going to the headquarters in City A for a report in the middle of the night is just a matter of a moment.

So the drinking party ended and he was already back in his apartment.

Actually, staying overnight at the Ryusui Dojo wouldn't be a big deal, but Johnson has important things to do tonight, so he won't be involved in the second match of the Hot Pot Group.

[Fantasy Card: Limiter Fragment] ×42

[Can be fused!]

Fusion requires: 40 Limiter Fragments

After more than a month of preparation, tonight, the accumulated "limiter fragments" finally reached the third critical point, and the prompt to merge appeared again.

The number of cards required for fusion has doubled compared to before; forty special N cards stacked together are almost as thick as a deck of cards.

Based on this calculation, the next time we need to collect and merge all eighty cards, we will need eighty cards.

Moreover, the number of times fragments can be merged is not unlimited.

About a year later, when Saitama becomes completely bald and the fully-fledged "Bald Cape Man" officially debuts, this beginner's perk of being able to ignore bottlenecks and break through limits at will will completely disappear.

Johnson was prepared for this, but he wasn't in a hurry.

After all, his strength has always come from his own (referring to his Stand) efforts, and has nothing to do with the outside world!

He also wanted to see just how far he could go without "limiter breaking"!

Deep blue...

No, I've mixed up the words.

Fantasy Cards, Fusion!

A blazing white light burst forth, and all forty fragments melted away like snowflakes. As the light faded, only a pale blue fantasy card remained floating silently before Johnson's eyes.

[Fantasy Cards: Limiter Break ACT3]

[Card Type: Special Card]

Rarity: R

[Description: Formed from the fusion of unknown fragments, this is a conceptual power that was originally invisible.]

【Effect 1: Restriction Removed】

[Designate any object to break through one racial growth limit.]

【Effect 2: Controllable Breakthrough】

[Choose a specific attribute of any thing to break through racial growth limitations.]

【Effect 3: Limit Deployment】

[Designate any object and randomly gain a new extraordinary ability.]

Compared to the previous two "Limiter Break" cards, the rarity level has finally broken through the limit of N cards and entered the realm of R cards.

A new effect has been added: gain a brand new extraordinary ability for free.

Johnson hesitated, wondering whether to allocate this breakthrough opportunity to his main body or his substitute. The usually inactive Fantasy Card weakly raised its hand in his consciousness, indicating that the energy injected for its first breakthrough had been exhausted, so…

"Hum..."

Hearing the stand-in's words, Qiao Bapi couldn't help but sneer: "It's dawn, the rain has stopped, you little trash, do you think you're all that anymore?"

Fantasy Cards: "..."

"Sigh, that's the downside of Stands having their own consciousness. I always feel guilty if I ignore them..."
