The demon monk in the second dimension

By the time the tornado was inspected and samples were collected, it was already the next morning.

When Xia Zhi returned home, she used healing magic to heal the wounds on Long Juan's body caused by the sampling, and then left her on the sofa.

Not long after, Saitama came back with a bag of eggs to freeload another meal.

This guy is now not only coming here for lunch and dinner, but also for breakfast. He's practically treating Xia Zhi's place like his own canteen.

He picked up a steamed bun from the table and, while eating, mumbled a question to Xia Zhi.

"who is this?"

"S-Class Hero No. 2, Tornado of Terror."

On the summer solstice, I picked up a cup of soy milk and took a small sip.

“I had a small argument with her, so I knocked her unconscious and brought her back.”

"You defeated the second-ranked S-class hero?"

Saitama's eyes lit up.

He finished the bun in his mouth in a few bites and invited Xia Zhi to join him.

"You must be really strong, right? Let's have a match!"

At that moment, Xia Zhi seemed to see her own omen of death shining in the sky!

He quickly refused.

"No, no, no. Compared to Saitama, I'm still far behind!"

"Is that so? Then forget it."

Seeing that Xia Zhi was unwilling, Saitama did not insist and continued eating his own steamed bun.

After breakfast, Saitama went out to carry out his hero activities.

Another week is about to end, and Saitama still hasn't completed his C-class hero mission this week.

Not long after, Tornado also woke up from a fragrant aroma.

She opened her eyes somewhat confusedly and saw two large, white, round objects beside her, asking in bewilderment.

"steamed stuffed bun?"

Chapter 136 Losing Money and Buying

"Where am I?"

Seeing the steamed buns on the table, Tornado stared blankly for a while before regaining her senses.

"Fubuki! Where is Fubuki?"

Thinking of the strange man and the flames, she looked around in panic.

Having just woken up, Tornado couldn't distinguish between hallucinations and reality.

Just as she was about to use her superpowers, Xia Zhi's voice came from the side.

"you're awake."

Tornado turned around and looked at Xia Zhi, and it took her a while to realize what was happening.

"You've defeated me?"

Tornado's rationality told her that she and Fubuki had already been rescued from the organization by Blast.

So, it must have been a psychological attack?

Tornado sat up from the sofa, her eyes darting around in a wide, uncontrollable tremor.

This is the first time she has been defeated in a direct confrontation since becoming an S-class hero.

The feeling was complex and hard to describe; it contained bitterness, anger, and dissatisfaction.

It's definitely not good.

Tornado decided that she must strengthen her mental defenses from now on.

Let's start by building a superpower barrier around the brain!

"Give."

Xia Zhi handed Long Juan a piece of paper, which she took with some confusion.

"what is this?"

Summer Solstice uttered two words.

"bill."

He crossed his arms, leaned back on the sofa, and spoke to Tornado in a relaxed tone.

"This is the compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, medical expenses, and your own treatment costs incurred because you insisted on fighting me. It's all here in total. Take a look."

"Huh? So many?"

Looking at the string of zeros at the end of the bill, Tornado widened her eyes and glared fiercely at Xia Zhi.

You might as well just rob someone!

This amount of money is a huge sum, even for an S-class hero!

Xia Zhi glanced at Long Juan with an air of nonchalance and spoke.

"You were the one who bothered me while I was filming the commercial, and then you challenged me to a fight. Don't you even have the basic sense of honor in a bet, second-ranked S-class player?"

"hateful."

Tornado knew that Xia Zhi was mocking her for previously looking down on him as the 15th-ranked person when she was ranked 2nd, only to be defeated by him.

"I'm not someone who can't accept defeat!"

Tornado gritted her teeth, angrily pulled out her phone, and tapped away at it for a while before giving Xia Zhi a vicious, deep look.

"Thunder Fist, you'll remember this!"

She used her superpowers to grab two large steamed buns from the table, turned around, and flew out the window.

At least these fragrant steamed buns are innocent.

Xia Zhi opened her phone and was slightly surprised to see the bank notification that her money had been deposited into her account.

"As expected of the second-ranked S-class hero, the strongest force the Hero Association can mobilize. We underestimated Tornado's wealth!"

Those fair, slender legs belonging to a 28-year-old rich woman are definitely worth hugging!

……

As usual, once the tornado left, Xia Zhi went out to shoot an advertisement.

Given the sheer number of endorsements he's taken on, he'll be constantly on the go this month; things will only get better next month.

During dinner that evening, Xia Zhi discovered that Qi Yu wasn't the only one who had come to freeload.

"Hello, Mr. Lightning Fist, I am Genos, the 18th S-Class Hero! I am also Saitama's disciple!"

Xia Zhi received a message from Vice Minister Miyazaki at noon today, saying that a newcomer, just like him, entered the ranks of S-class heroes as soon as he joined the Hero Association.

Xia Zhi guessed it was Genos back then, and now it seems she was right.

"Well, Genos will be my disciple from now on."

Saitama came in carrying a large handful of seaweed.

"However, I don't have much experience in teaching disciples. Xia Zhi, as a senior S-class hero, you should also give Genos more guidance."

He would never admit that he was overwhelmed by Genos's silver bullet offensive before agreeing to take him as his disciple.

Cyborgs are really rich!

After all, the poor rely on mutations, while the rich rely on technology!

"Hello Genos-kun, welcome. Please have a seat."

Summer Solstice greeted.

"We're having hot pot tonight. Wuming, take the seaweed to wash it and bring a set of bowls and chopsticks."

The reason they only added one set of chopsticks and a bowl was because they were used to Saitama coming over to freeload their meals.

For Saitama, he would never pass up a meal he could get for free.

"Okay. Give me the seaweed, Mr. Saitama."

Nameless came running over in his pink slippers and took the seaweed from Saitama's hand.

She sniffed the seaweed and smiled helplessly.

As usual, it's material dropped by a strange person.

Saitama is so strong, why is he still so poor?

How strange!

"Yes, thank you for your help, Nameless."

Saitama sat down on the stool with a smile.

Genos, without any hesitation, took out a pen and notebook and asked Xia Zhi for her opinion.

"Mr. Lightning Fist, I saw in the Hero Association's introduction that you can use lightning to attack enemies. What kind of mechanical device is it? Where can I buy it?"

Genos was quite green and naive when he first became Saitama's apprentice, but he gradually matured.

However, only a limited number of them are mature enough.

Xia Zhi laughed.

"Like Saitama, I am not a cyborg, so I can't teach you much about combat. All I can offer you are some insignificant life experience."

It was just a polite greeting, but Genos nodded with a serious expression.

"Dr. Kusno also said that I lack experience and life experience, and that I need to learn more from others."

Dr. Kusno was the one who did the mechanical modifications for Genos.

Four years ago, Genos's hometown was destroyed by rampaging cyborgs, and his entire family perished, with only himself surviving.

To save his life, Dr. Kunos modified him, turning him into a cyborg.

Genos has been tracking down the cyborg who destroyed his hometown, wanting to avenge it.

This child is actually fine in every way, except that he speaks too honestly and too directly, without any tact.

After dinner, he said goodbye to Saitama and left.

Xia Zhi received compensation from Long Juan and, holding Takatsuki Sen, let her start shopping.

Previously, Xia Zhi had instructed Xiao Shan Li Hui to use the Hero Association's channels to collect some materials for him, and the other party indeed found a lot of relevant information.

Takatsuki Sen was responsible for contacting the people and forces that possessed these materials to see how to buy them.

Generally speaking, once you reveal your identity as the Summer Solstice Thunder Fist master and offer a relatively high price, the other party will usually agree.

It's understandable that the Hero Association collects some of the materials.

But sometimes unexpected situations may occur.

"Someone agreed to sell me something for half price, but they want me to have a meal with them?"

Listening to Takatsuki Sen's report, Xia Zhi nodded.

"Okay, I agree."

He glanced at his schedule.

"It's in City B, right? I'll be going to City B the day after tomorrow to attend a jewelry company's new product launch. You can tell him that I can spare two hours to have lunch with him at noon."

The dinner was just an excuse; the other person probably wanted to get to know Xia Zhi or ask him for a favor.

After all, including the newcomer Genos, there are only 18 S-class heroes in total.

It seems like a lot, but on average, there isn't even one per city.
