It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"According to your current condition, boss..." Orochimaru gradually showed a ferocious smile on his face, "Regarding the dispatch of the guardian of Cornerstone World No. 30, our Medical Department should be able to sign the work confirmation letter. Because we already have the strength to counter threats above the Dragon Level!"

A week later.

The 30th cornerstone world, a dangerous city called "Z".

A bald man with a shiny head of hair, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, was walking home with a big bag of discounted food from the supermarket.

But as the bald man walked, he discovered that in this huge area of ​​ruins, there was suddenly a Chinese restaurant and another medium-sized community supermarket!

Inside the supermarket, all members of Project Team 30 are presenting themselves in front of this dangerous world as store managers and shop assistants.

There was no other way. The situation in World No. 30 was special, so the coordination department could only ask Project No. 30 to connect directly to Cornerstone World No. 30! And in order to ensure their safety, they found them a place that could be called "the safest place in Cornerstone World No. 30" - next to a hotel and across from a bald man's house.

0399 Ordinary Bald Head

Cornerstone World No. 30 is a special existence. It does not have a real exclusive guardian, but is managed by more than 20 other guardians. For example, near the small supermarket run by Project No. 30, there is a "If you can't beat them, please run here" boxed lunch restaurant, "Colorful King Kong" metal store, "Brother Tiger" second-hand machinery store, "Lightning Jab" boxing club, and "Breath of Fire" kendo gym.

And Ackerman's hardware store that fills gas and sells cables...

Basically, the guardians who had nothing to do opened small shops in the cornerstone world No. 30 to hide their identities. The guardians who were busy were also preparing to open interfaces in the world No. 30.

Those who are too busy choose to open a direct portal to the courtyard of Boss Cheng's school. After all, the boss is the deputy minister. If leaders don't talk about dedication, then what about corruption?

Where in the world does such a shameless leader exist!

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

The main function of the supermarket opened by Project Team No. 30 is to become a transmission channel connecting World No. 30 and the competitive world, making it convenient for S-level contestants of the Master League to come to World No. 30 to "work".

However, the relevant event organizing department is still designing the rules and procedures for the temporary competition, so within ten days or half a month, the competitive world cannot directly send people to World No. 30. If a strong enemy appears here, the only option is to ask the guardians of other worlds to help.

Anyway, World 30 doesn't have monsters every day. The power of this world alone is enough to deal with wolf-level and tiger-level monsters. Even if a demon-level monster appears, as long as the Hero Association here doesn't let it go, it generally won't threaten the safety of the town and residents.

Of course, the premise is not to let things go, not to give up, not to mix in strange interests, not to engage in power struggles, and not to use weird people to eliminate dissidents.

But it seems a bit difficult...

Therefore, the main task of the Guardians and Master League participants is to eliminate possible Dragon-level monsters, and the secondary task is to eliminate threatening Demon-level monsters. Boss Cheng also has to wait for the one-eyed hedgehog head. When he enters the solar system, he will beat him to death to avenge the instant kill that day.

However, for other guardians who can neither defeat nor want to meet the one-eyed hedgehog-headed guardian again, this world No. 30 is more like a fast track to the boss's restaurant anytime and anywhere. After all, if you walk out of the store, turn left or right, and then walk a few dozen meters, you can reach the restaurant. If you don't come to "eat the big customers", you will be sorry for the gold price that falls sharply every six months.

So in the restaurant, Boss Cheng, who had locked his ability value at 0.6%, was ecstatically weighing a large spoon in the kitchen, while a group of bored guardians sat around three tables, discussing whether mushrooms could taste like meat. Then, as they talked, they talked about mushrooms, then Cordyceps, and then Green Orcs.

After that, the restaurant no longer had the dishes of stir-fried mushrooms and stir-fried mushrooms with meat for dinner.

“By the way, is it really okay to open a store in a ruined area like this?” asked mining tycoon number one (Big Baby).

"The store has already opened, it's too late to solve any problems." Mining tycoon No. 2 (Erwa) complained.

“But we are running a store after all!” emphasized mining tycoon No. 3 (Sanwa).

Mining tycoon No. 4 (Siwa) shook his head and sighed, "Yeah, opening a store in a place like this where no one lives makes us look stupid."

Mining tycoon No. 27 (Wu Wa) said: "The person who chose the site probably has no business experience at all. I remember that the location of the Box Food Restaurant in World was also very remote, and it was the boss who worked hard to make the surrounding area lively."

Mining tycoon No. 6 (Liu Wa) seemed to be invisible. Apart from nodding repeatedly, he never spoke.

Mining tycoon No. 6 (Qiwawa) did not join the other six. He got a mobile phone and was playing team-up with Crossbones and Brother Biao.

Someone who was responsible for filling gas tanks had been squatting (standing) at the kitchen door, asking the boss why he didn't use a gas stove to cook. But Levi didn't know that because too many gas tanks exploded, catering units had been banned from using this thing.

But the boss didn't tell him this. Instead, he said, "What if I tell you that there is natural gas in my backyard? What will you do?"

"cut……"

Norris didn't hang out with the gang in the hotel, because he was driving the most authentic MS-06 in the underground base. Although the original owner of the Zaku 2 under him was the fashionable guy who always liked to wear a mask. Perhaps the status of the old MS in Norris' heart is equivalent to the status of the GTR32 in the hearts of JDM car fans.

Soon, when dinner time came, more than a dozen hungry guardians and 30 or 7 people from Project Team 8 had already taken their plates and were waiting for the boss's order to rush to the dining area. Together with the guests from other worlds who came to Boss Cheng's place to eat, the boxed rice restaurant seemed particularly lively.

However, compared with the bustling Heyan Restaurant, the abandoned city area of ​​City Z where the restaurant is located seems lifeless. There are thousands of buildings within an area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers, but only a few hundred houses with lights on.

Boss Cheng learned from the survey team that this place has been abandoned for at least two years. The reason why the vast urban area was abandoned was that there were often powerful monsters nearby, so the government of City Z had to abandon this area and block it off. A new city was built in a relatively safe place far away from here.

But for some unknown reason, the abandoned old city of Z has never been cut off from water and electricity. So some skilled and daring people, or simply poor people who are not afraid of death, will take the risk and live in the abandoned city, enjoying a life of free water and electricity and a 10% discount on rent.

Really lie down, because if you are attacked by a monster, it won't be too painful to walk.

Soon, dinner time was over, and the boss's restaurant and other guardians' shops began to prepare for closing. The other guardians basically closed the shop door and that was the end of the day's business. Only the boss needed to clean up and tidy up the store. This made Boss Cheng a little different from the other bosses.

Before cleaning, the restaurant also routinely packs up the leftover food and sells it as low-priced blind bento boxes. This kind of blind box is very popular in Poxiao Town, and because the number of blind boxes is not large every day, sometimes there are too many people who want to get a bargain, and there may be a queue or even no one can buy it.

But before closing time today, a local resident of City Z walked into the restaurant at a leisurely pace. This man was bald, and his hair follicles were all dead. The bald man in flip-flops looked at the layout of the restaurant with curiosity. After looking for a long time, the bald man asked the boss: "Hey, do you sell discounted bento in your store?"

"Yes!" Boss Cheng pointed to the brown paper bag on the counter and said, "120 yen per box. Each box contains at most three vegetarian dishes and at least two meat dishes. If there is no meat, I will explain it in advance. The box guarantees fair play."

"Blind box?" the bald man asked the boss, "Is it like a gashapon machine?"

"That's about right." The boss introduced: "The dishes in today's blind box include stir-fried cauliflower, scrambled eggs with green peppers, fried vermicelli with celery, fried cabbage slices with lard, starch sausage cold dishes, New Orleans-style fried chicken, wings, legs, and chops. There are also Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork and eggplant strips, twice-cooked pork skin, and braised lion's head. As for soup, there is only one kind left today, water shield and egg drop soup."

"No staple food?" the bald man asked again.

"The staple food is rice. Take as much as you can eat. Eat according to your ability and avoid waste."

"Oh!" The bald man nodded with satisfaction.

"There are more!" The boss introduced, "It's 7:8 in the evening now. If there are still blind boxes before closing at 60 o'clock, you can buy one for yen. But usually they are sold out before closing time. After all, the dishes are freshly made in the evening. If you buy them and put them in the refrigerator overnight, they won't go bad the next day."

"I see!" The bald man handed over a few coins and asked the boss, "Can I sit in the store and eat?"

"Come on, this is a restaurant! How can I not allow customers to dine in?" The boss pointed to the rice in the stainless steel plate and said, "Try the temperature of the rice. If it feels cold, I'll microwave it for you."

This is authentic Northeastern rice, which has been out of the warming cabinet for less than 20 minutes, so the temperature is neither cold nor hot, and you don’t have to worry about burning your mouth when you put it in your mouth.

After the bald guy opened the brown paper bag with the words "recycling recommended" written on it and took out the lunch box inside...

"Boss, didn't you say that there are at most 3 vegetarian dishes in each blind box?"

Boss Cheng glanced at the bald man's lunch box and replied, "Yes, at most 3 kinds means that there may not be any... No, the starch sausage in your box is vegetarian."

“Is there no meat in the sausage slices?”

"Haha, you underestimate the sausage maker! If there's even a little bit of meat in it, it's his poor craftsmanship."

But after Denise whispered something in the boss's ear, the boss immediately changed his tone and said, "Well... today's starch sausage is not pure starch. It contains 10% chicken."

However, the bald man didn't care at all whether there was meat in the starch sausage. He just thought the blind box of this Chinese cuisine was rich and cheap. There were 120 dishes in the 6 yuan lunch box, and all of them were meat dishes. The most exaggerated thing was that two chicken legs were stuffed into one lunch box.

The bald man, who rarely eats big fish and meat, ate voraciously, and the number of blind boxes on the counter continued to decrease as customers came one after another. Until the bald man burped loudly after a full meal, the clock hand pointed to 8 o'clock in the evening.

“It’s time to close.”

"Thank you for the dinner." The bald man thanked sincerely, "It was a great dinner."

At this moment, the bald man saw the last blind box left on the counter. He quietly reached into his pocket, but found the remaining change in his pocket...

Just 10 yuan short!

The boss saw that the bald man was short of money, and if he was rich, he would not live in such a deserted place. So the boss simply said, "Just give me the difference tomorrow. You live across the street anyway, so why should I be afraid that you will run away for a few dollars?"

The bald man left with the lunch box he had bought on credit, thanking the boss profusely. The boss also kept telling him not to be so polite. However, just as the bald man left the restaurant and the door closed, his expressionless face suddenly showed an expression of excitement and eagerness to try.

The bald man has noticed that everyone who appears in the restaurant tonight is very strong! Especially the owner of the restaurant. The bald man thinks that this strong man may have the absolute strength to fight with him.

As for the boss...

"Are you sure? The bald guy who lives across from us is the only person in the world who can remove the limiter? But I see that he is very strong, but..."

[Very ordinary, right? But the technical department said that this is the most terrifying thing about this guy! An ultimate strong man who looks like an ordinary person, you should understand what this means. ]

"But he looks really ordinary, even a little bit..."

[It's a bit stupid, the technical department knows it, but it's easier to play dumb and eat the tiger. Do you think any strong person is like the contestants, either so arrogant that they take off or so arrogant that they explode? ]

"Anyway..."

Anyway, when the time came to the next morning, the boss had the opportunity to test the bald man's strength.

Cornerstone World No. 30, a private research institute outside City D.

"Yo yo yo yo! The ultimate steroid 'King of Biceps' is finally completed!"

A researcher wearing glasses and looking very old held a flask filled with a strange liquid. The researcher put the flask to the younger brother's mouth and told him: "Brother, as long as you drink this bottle, you will get the super power you have always dreamed of!"

The younger brother obviously trusted his elder brother, so he took the flask and drank the fishy liquid in the flask. The next second, the younger brother felt a violent heat flow through his body. And with each flow of heat, his height and limbs became thicker, stronger, and stronger completely out of control.

In just a few seconds, the height of the younger brother broke through the ceiling of the small laboratory, and he grew taller and taller, bigger and stronger, until the younger brother turned into a giant monster nearly a kilometer tall.

"Hahahaha! My dear brother!" The researcher laughed loudly. "My brain plus your muscles is the perfect combination of the strongest brain and the strongest body in the world! With the two, we can finally conquer the world! We brothers will eventually conquer everything in the world and become the greatest kings in the world!"

"No, brother. I have no interest in becoming a king. I just want to be the strongest man in the world."

After saying that, the giant brother, whose height exceeded one kilometer, suddenly swung his fist, and a large area of ​​buildings in the urban area of ​​City D was razed to the ground.

"Emergency alert! Emergency alert! A giant creature appeared in D City. Disaster level: Ghost level!"

"Oh no! City D has been completely destroyed. Now the giant demon-level monsters are approaching the neighboring city B!"

"Haha, time to work!"

0400 ONE PUNCH

【Ding dong! 】

【The Master League Reward Challenge has been launched for testing. There is no ranking limit for participating in this test, and the number of recruitment places is limited. Please confirm whether to participate in this test within 10 minutes. 】

[Attention! This challenge test is highly dangerous. To ensure the safety of the test participants, the test participants will receive a full set of the highest level of life and property insurance. ]

【Current number of applicants 2/20】

For the hundreds of participants in the Master League, the new competition test suddenly opened at an awkward time. Because from today to the day after tomorrow, it happened to be the Master League competition day, and it was the main competition related to the ranking.

At this moment, the Master League participants were either fighting in the game, setting up stalls or eating buffets in the pre-game waiting area, or concentrating on preparing for the game the next day or the day after tomorrow. Only a very few had just come out of the game map and had not even had time to go home when they received a reminder from the event organizer.

In addition, the reason why these few contestants came out so quickly...

Although it would be hurtful to tell the truth directly, these contestants basically ended up being defeated, died, or were eliminated.

When the recruitment time entered the countdown to the end of 60 seconds, only 9 people were recruited for this test match. Dongfang Bubai, who had just been eliminated in the competition, saw this and also wanted to make up the number for this test match, and immediately confirmed to participate in the test.

Yes, the new star of the Master League, Dongfang Bubai, nicknamed "The Venerable", lost. And the loss was normal, and the audience was not surprised at all.

Even if Dongfang Bubai is popular and a hotshot, but a newcomer is still a newcomer. Like many newly promoted teams in the football league, Dongfang Bubai can only barely ensure that it will not be relegated in the Master League where there are so many strong players.

After all, this was only the third season for the old man in the competitive world, and he entered the A-level league directly in the first season. It took only 5 games for the old man to calm down all the controversies about him. And after getting familiar with the rules of a season, Dongfang Bubai made a direct effort in the second season and won the ticket to the Master League in one go!

At the same time, Dongfang Bubai also set the record for the fastest promotion from the A-level league.

Then in this season, the old man was taught a lesson by the S-level contestants. But the old man was very happy, not only because he never had to worry about "showing mercy" in a fight here, but he could just go all out in the competition.

In addition, the top 30 contestants in the S-ranking, especially the top 10, are said to have strength that is not inferior to that of the former Spartans. But in Dongfang Bubai's opinion, except for the top 1 who has never appeared, the other 9 are still a long way from the boss Cheng he once knew.

But...

Even if these people are weaker than Boss Cheng, if a real fight breaks out, they can still use their physical advantage to wear down Dongfang Bubai.

There is no way, the physical fitness gap between the two sides is too big. Even though Dongfang Bubai has entered the Master League, in terms of physical fitness, the old man is only at the middle level of Class A. He was able to enter the Master League because of his unparalleled martial arts attainments. (The author can read)

After another 15 minutes, the 10 applicants were asked to prepare their strongest equipment within 5 minutes. Then, when the time was up, the 10 people were teleported to a strange gray-floored room.

A black sphere with a diameter of about 1.2 meters hovered in the center of the room. Another newly promoted team this season walked up and touched the floating black ball. Then several beams of light were projected from the black ball, forming a looping holographic image around it.

Through holographic images, 10 people learned that they were going to a place called City B to destroy a giant.

However, before Blackball could tell the 10 people about the prizes, the ponytailed leader of the coordination group No. 30 rushed into the room with a baseball bat. Then, the leader No. 30 swung the bat and hit Blackball with it. Blackball made a short-circuit sound, and with a crack, it fell to the ground while emitting black smoke.

"You are imitating the Gantz of World No. 13, right?" Team Leader No. 30 abused the black ball while cursing, "Do you believe that if Rengoku Kyojuro finds you, Yi Yanhu will chop you down?"

Then, a guy from the technical department came out of the black ball. He pointed to the door behind Team Leader No. 30 and told the 10 contestants to go out and take the plane to perform the mission, and reminded them to pay attention to safety. Then he explained to Team Leader No. 30 that the technical department had created the black ball of Cornerstone World No. 13 to fool people, and they had no choice but to do it because of the event organization and coordination department.

"Who would have thought that a weirdo would show up the day after you opened. Even their tournament organizing department hasn't figured out the tournament rules yet. How do you think our technical department is going to cooperate with you?"

Dongfang Bubai, who was the last to leave the room, heard the conversation between the two people behind him. And because of Boss Cheng, he had a certain understanding of the main control, and he also guessed that the so-called test might involve the cornerstone world.

When he left the house, walked out of the supermarket and came to the street, he saw Boss Cheng sitting in an angular aircraft. After seeing Dongfang Bubai, Boss Cheng also signaled him to get on the plane quickly.

In the rear cabin of the plane, in addition to the 10 contestants who came to take the test, there were 11 former top 10 players who were once famous. However, Dongfang Bubai had only been in the competitive world for a short time and did not know these 11 former national idols at all.

Instead, it was a bald man wearing a tacky jumpsuit and a pair of rubber gloves that attracted Dongfang Bubai's great attention.

"Wow! You open a restaurant in a place like this, how come you also own a private jet?" The bald man sitting next to the cockpit asked the boss: "This kind of plane must be very expensive, right? You must be very rich, right? But why do you come to a place like this to sell cheap buffets?"

The boss didn't answer the bald man's question, but asked him: "Hey, Saitama! Ever since the first TV broadcast of the Demon-level Titan..."

"It has just been upgraded to Dragon level." Saitama told the boss: "It was upgraded after D City was destroyed."
