Chapter 472: Ranked 20th in popularity
"Hello everyone, welcome to the "Hero Popularity Ranking" broadcast every Tuesday night at 8 pm, so as always, let's first announce the super popular hero who has won several championships - KING!!"
There were crazy cheers from the audience, although in the hero ranking, KING is just the mainstay of the S-rank, not the peak, but his character is too perfect.
Even in the eyes of many people, KING was able to climb to the seventh place of S-class heroes by relying on a few records, which is enough to prove his strength.
And the reason why he can only rank seventh is just because of his lack of qualifications.
After all, in the eyes of most people, compared to other S-class heroes who are more bizarre or cold and withdrawn, KING simply has a perfect "hero" setting.
Powerful and low-key (before being discovered, he did not choose to actively join the Hero Association), unfathomable strength, full of security (all the weirdos killed were not only powerful, but also killed by one hit), taciturn but unable to hide their heroic heart (full of X skill points).
With so many "shining points", since KING's debut, he has won the "Hero Popularity Ranking" many times in a row, so no one will be surprised by this.
"Hero Popularity Ranking" continued to play, and the second place without exception was "Sweetheart Masquerade".
Although he is not an S-class hero, but only the first of the A-class heroes, the source of his popularity is idol packaging. After all, people's official occupation is idols, and heroes are actually his character as idols.
From the perspective of setting, Sweetheart Kamen is the most good-looking male character, and even female weirdos can be captured by his appearance, which is simply Pan An in the one-punch world, and it is reasonable to rank high every time.
The next dark horse is the "devil transformer" Genos, the "transformer prince" in the mouth of fans.
Relying on his super high appearance and the character of a cold and handsome guy, his fans have grown rapidly, and he has climbed from sixth to third place in just two weeks, successfully upsetting the original third place "Trembling Dragon Scroll".
However, after all, this is a period with the halo of newcomers, and I believe that it will not take too long for his ranking to gradually stabilize in the top ten, but it is difficult to enter the top five.
The ranking continues, although there are many heroes who rely on "appearance" and "personality" to get in the front row, but in general, the stronger the hero, the higher the popularity.
"The next thing I want to introduce to you is the last one in this episode of the "Hero Popularity Ranking" program, although this time it is only ranked 20th, but such a newcomer with unlimited potential, I am still looking forward to it!
He is the 'Sword Saint' Yang Bai, who is ranked 32nd in the current Hero Association A-level, and many people may be unfamiliar with this name, but if I finish explaining his experience to you, I think this name will leave a great impression on your heart. So...... After the advertisement, it is even more exciting! ”
Turning the sound of the TV to silent, Saitama scratched her bald head with a hesitant expression.
"It's so good that they have all become A-rank heroes! And it also entered the 20th place in the popularity ranking! What he said seemed to be praising Yang Bai beside him, but it was actually full of sourness.
After all, although Saitama has worked hard in the past two weeks, he is only a C-level hero, and he is at the bottom of the popularity ranking.
"Ah...... Good sour. Looking at the cream cake in his hand, Saitama was confused, why is this cake so sour?
"Don't be afraid of any difficulties we encounter! Face it with a smile! Yang Bai wanted to comfort Saitama with the positive energy quotes of a certain supreme troll in his previous life, but in exchange for his white eyes.
"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous, but I'm desperate too!" sighed, Yang Bai finally lived the kind of person he hated the most.
In order to be able to quickly improve the ranking of heroes and complete the tasks assigned by the system, he began to "increase his efforts" and incarnate as a hard-working tool man, who will rush to the front line as soon as possible, no matter how big or small.
In just two weeks, he relied on his spatial teleportation ability to complete seventy-four missions, although the highest difficulty was only a "tiger" level disaster, but under such brilliant achievements, the Hero Association could not suppress him.
In addition, every time he becomes a hero, he will try his best to maintain his character and portray himself as a taciturn, powerful but extremely righteous swordsman.
Just like many public figures in his previous life, after the character is shaped, coupled with the terrifying "achievements" behind it, Yang Bai is not only "rising in office", but even his popularity is rising rapidly, becoming one of the few super newcomers among the A-level heroes who can enter the top 20 in popularity.
As for why he chose to settle here in Saitama, it was because he thought that with the protagonist, it would be easier to meet weirdos in the future, so that the sub-level would be faster.
Anyway, the bounty for completing the task earned a bunch, and under Yang Bai's money offensive, Saitama once again knelt shamefully.
"But it's really strange, I'm obviously following Saitama, but nothing big seems to have happened in the past two weeks." Lying on the ground and salted fish, today is Yang Bai's holiday for himself, after all, the daily high-intensity work is still a great blow to the mental aspect.
It seems that the plot that is more ordinary will indeed have a sense of time deviation, for example, in the comics, after the end of one event, the next episode will start a new plot, but in fact, how do you know how long the interval between the two episodes is?
But no matter how you count it, if there is an incident that happens, it must be in the near future......
“One punch——Three、two、one、Kill shot! Cf. above. Win. The supreme and strongest ......" I don't know whose phone is ringing.
"Hey, hello, this is the S-class hero Genos." Suddenly, he received a phone call, and after listening for a while, Genos hung up.
"Mr. Saitama, Mr. Yang Bai, the Hero Association suddenly called me, I'll go back as soon as I go."
"Well, I'm going to fire you, ahahaha......" Saitama, who was reading a comic book, said in a flat tone with a sour taste.
"Oh? It seems to be fun! Yang Bai showed an interested look.
"Does Mr. Yang Bai want to come along?" Genos asked with a smile.
"Let's be together, then." Yang Bai stood up, recalling the picture in the original book in his mind, if he remembered correctly, this time Genos was summoned, it should be because of a giant meteorite that was about to fall to Earth......
