Great, we're doomed now!

Now you know what human beings look like from the perspective of aliens, right?

Saitama: "..."

On this day, the bald cape-wearing hero learned his first "special effects" technique—

【Solar Fist】!

A mountain breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees swept across the foot of the mountain, where a black sedan, followed by an inconspicuous gray minivan, came to a steady stop.

The car door opened, and Hellish Blizzard, wearing a dark green dress and a gray fur coat, stepped out first. Her skirt swept across the gravel on the ground, and her supermodel-like figure was as upright as ever, exuding a sharp aura.

The rest of the subordinates emerged one after another from the small bread rolls—their capacity was unexpectedly large.

However, the grandeur of the two vehicles seemed somewhat incongruous with the renowned "Blizzard Group," but in reality, most of the heroes were not wealthy.

The best treatment is given to A-rank and S-rank heroes. The association arranges most of their lives for them, and they can get help with any difficulties they encounter by simply asking. S-rank heroes, in particular, are happy to be "taken care of" by the association even if they do nothing.

However, starting from Class B, the support level drops significantly. While basic needs like food and clothing are definitely not a problem, to live a more comfortable life, one must strive for bonuses, which means defeating evil monsters or rescuing survivors from disasters.

Melee combat is manageable, but those who rely on advanced technology and equipment to fight monsters sometimes have to spend their own money...

Fubuki herself is not bad in emergencies. She is an extremely rare esper and an important talent in the association. Moreover, as Tatsumaki's sister and only weakness, the association would love to treat her like royalty. But Fubuki's pride is what matters, and she has always been self-reliant.

With her wealth and connections, driving luxury cars isn't difficult for her. In fact, her hobby is appreciating luxury goods and designer items.

But ever since she formed the "Fubuki Group" and tried to catch up with her older sister using the power of the group, her standard of living has been declining!

(The Fubuki group's overall strength is quite average; they basically rely on Fubuki to carry them.)

If this were told to Ye Shou, he definitely wouldn't understand:

She's been supporting most of TPC and still lives a very comfortable life.

Just by assembling a team of a few dozen people, we were forced to be extremely careful with our budget... Our Victory Team always lost planes in pairs!

"Lady Fubuki, shall we all go up with you? That [Divine Might Knight] seems to have refused the association's offer of service. He might be difficult to deal with. More people means more protection." Several subordinates in black uniforms surrounded them, their tone respectful but tinged with worry.

They greatly admired Fubuki, but they had to admit that the [Divine Might Knight]—the association's internal title for Ye Shou had been changed—was formidable. If a conflict were to occur, even Lady Fubuki would be caught in the crossfire…

Fubuki raised her hand to stop them, her eyes sharp and decisive, but a slight hint of confidence on her lips: "No need, we're not here to provoke anyone, we're just here to say a few words, having more people would only draw attention."

Her gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on her two subordinates, a man and a woman. "Lily, Eyelash, come with me. The rest of you stay down the mountain and wait."

"Yes!"

When her name was called, Lily immediately stepped forward. She was petite and a little timid, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

The male subordinate named Eyelash had the air of an office worker, his expression calm: "Yes, Lady Fubuki!"

Although the other subordinates were unwilling, they dared not disobey and could only watch the three of them walk up the mountain path.

The mountain path meandered along the way, with lush trees on both sides. Sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting dappled shadows. This scenery made Fubuki feel happy. Even if she couldn't get things done today, she felt that the trip wouldn't be in vain.

As I walked to the entrance of the dojo, I ran into Chalanzi carrying a garbage bag, preparing to empty it into the nearby trash can.

He glanced up and instantly recognized the person. His eyes lit up, and he almost dropped the trash bag in his hand.

"Could it be... [Hell's Blizzard]?!"

The woman in front of her was even more imposing than she appeared on TV. Her dark green dress accentuated her beautiful figure, and her fur coat added a touch of aloofness. Her decisive and strong-willed demeanor made Chalanzi feel inexplicably nervous yet also a little excited.

After all, in a sense, the heroes of this world have begun to be idolized, and Fubuki is one of the more famous ones.

"A...a real person?" Chalanzi stammered, instinctively straightening her back, her tone noticeably reserved. "Why are you here?"

"You're Silver Fang's disciple, aren't you?"

Fubuki nodded slightly, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable aura: "I'm looking for Master Bang and the 'Divine Knight' to tell them some things."

"The Divine Knights?" Chalanzi was stunned for a moment, quickly went through the thought process, and suddenly realized that there were only a few people in the entire dojo.

"You mean Mr. Ye Shou? Nobody calls him that. Are you someone he knows?"

"I suppose so," Fubuki said without elaborating. "Could you please introduce them? Where are they now?"

Chalanzi nodded quickly, without suspecting anything. After all, Fubuki and her master were both registered heroes in the association, and she didn't seem like someone who was here to cause trouble.

"My master and Mr. Ye Shou are exchanging martial arts ideas on the back mountain. I'll go and inform them right away."

Following Chalanzi towards the back of the dojo, the wooden steps creaked softly underfoot. Fubuki stayed behind, turning to look at Lily, the "three-section staff" beside her, and said gently, "Thanks to you this time, Lily."

Lily quickly waved her hand, a shy smile on her face: "It's what I should do, Lady Fubuki."

Yesterday afternoon, Lily went out to run errands and saw Ye Shou shopping for daily necessities with a bald man at the supermarket. This girl is quite meticulous. She usually admires Fubuki, so she has watched all of Fubuki's battle videos - even the defeated Fubuki is very charming!

Ye Shou had left a deep impression on her, so she recognized him at a glance. When Ye Shou noticed her gaze, he even turned around and smiled at her.

That guy is so handsome, he's the prince of my dreams. Compared to him, even Sweet Mask seems a bit frivolous. I wonder if I'll have a chance to talk to him today~

"Lily?"

"Ah!" The little girl snapped out of her daze, her face slightly flushed. "Lady Fubuki!"

"You don't look well. Do you have a fever?"

"No, no, no..."

The rest was simple. The Fubuki Group's combat strength was average, but they still had some talented people. They checked the street surveillance footage nearby and finally locked onto the mountain road. This mountain was most famous because Bang used it as his base.

After a moment, Chalanzi returned: "Master said you three are welcome, please come with me."

-

There's a reason why Ye Shou is so concerned about Saitama's head:

It's extremely difficult to get gold coins from this guy.

Saitama is not a character who grows in character like in Jin Yong's novels, but is closer to the style of Gu Long, a protagonist who is almost "complete" as soon as he appears. What's even more extreme is that Saitama has no rivals in the same world view, making him the number one without any gaps!

From skill to mentality, after three years of training (which resulted in him losing all his hair), he was already at the maximum level, with no room for further growth or transformation.

However, One-Punch Man is a straightforward story with a focus on character development. Almost every episode features combat, shaping characters through clashes of power. In this environment, how can Saitama's fate be changed? Even Ye Shou couldn't do it.

Then we have to find another way. If we can't change Saitama's appearance, we can change his "bald head"!

It seems that this path is not feasible now. It turns out that becoming bald and stronger is indeed Saitama's basic character trait...

But it would be a shame to give up, as the combined fate power of everyone else is not as strong as his!

Seeing such a gold mine that cannot be developed is as unbearable for Ye Shou as watching his maid, childhood friend, and bad girl all lying in bed dressed in Christmas costumes!

Should we start by addressing his living conditions?

"Whoa~"

Setting aside his distracting thoughts for the moment, Ye Shou took a sip of tea and looked gently at the person opposite him: "Ms. Fubuki, right? I wonder what brings you here?"

Chapter 314: Orcs Will Never Be Slaves! (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

"There's nothing particularly important. Firstly, I wanted to formally thank you for saving my life. Although dying on the battlefield isn't unacceptable for a hero, it would be too regrettable for me to die in such an old age."

Fubuki knelt gracefully on the cushion, her long dress making her stand upright and appear very dignified.

"I said it was just a small favor."

"The person involved may not see it that way; this kindness is something a woman should remember for a lifetime."

Fubuki nodded to Lily, and the well-behaved girl immediately took out a plain-colored wooden box, placed it on the tatami mat, and respectfully pushed it over with both hands while prostrating herself.

Bang glanced at the wooden box and his eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, yokan? It looks pretty high-end."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation, but I don't know if you guys like sweets."

"Of course! Hmm... it's even from Feilaixuan."

Banggu handed the gift box to Chalanzi: "Go, put it away properly, and serve Hell Snowflake tea—good tea."

"Yes, Master!" Chalanzi left with the gifts without hesitation.

Fubuki smiled slightly, then became serious: "There is one more thing that I think is necessary to inform Lord Divine Might Knight."

"Ye Shou".

"Ok?"

"Kusei Yoru, Kamui Knight and the like should be used sparingly."

"My apologies, Lord Ye Shou."

Fubuki nodded and continued, "Actually, regarding Lord Ye Shou's previous battle against the monster, the Hero Association retrieved the surveillance footage from the train afterward and conducted an on-site investigation, and then determined that the monster in another city area was also eliminated by you."

There was nothing wrong with this in the first place; the association was generally very excited about the emergence of such a powerful new hero.

However… someone has developed an excessive enthusiasm for you.

"Oh?" Ye Shou's interest was piqued. "Who?"

"Metal Knight".

Fubuki said in a serious tone: "The sixth S-class hero, who never reveals his true identity, is a scientist rumored to possess super-powerful technology that is ahead of its time."

"Metal Knight...we shouldn't know him."

"Yes, but what Lord Ye Shou used in battle... summoning? Please forgive me for not knowing how to describe that scene. Even though there was nothing around him, parts were continuously taken out from the void and finally assembled into a complete suit of armor."

"This technology, which seems capable of freely compressing space, must be as tempting as a honey cake to researchers like Metal Knight."

"I see."

Ye Shou smiled and said, "I didn't expect it was because of the armor... I thought it was because of the transformation ability that they were targeting me."

"As far as I know, Metal Knight only focuses on items that can be made from matter, that is, technology that can be reproduced by himself... The strange appearance you transformed into looks like something like a superpower."

"More or less," Ye Shou said casually, not caring. "So, what's his plan?"

"I don't know about that. The relevant information was revealed by an acquaintance of mine in the association, but no one knows what Metal Knight is thinking."

Fubuki paused for a moment and said, "But there's no need to worry too much. Although he's an unconventional hero, none of his actions since his appearance have ever harmed society. On the contrary, he has helped the association a lot—otherwise, he wouldn't be ranked sixth."

Even if they were interested in your space technology, they'd probably only offer something like a trade.

"That will disappoint him." Ye Shou's lips curled up slightly.

What kind of spatial technology...? To be honest, the Collector's private space is more like magic, a different dimension connected to Ye Shou's soul, which others can't analyze!

Ye Shou was actually quite interested in the technology of this world. After all, Genos could reach S-class simply by modifying himself, and he clearly could not represent the pinnacle of technological power.
