Chapter 690: Melee Mage
The eighth melee mage of the S-rank, Jerf looked at the promotion information sent to him by the Hero Association. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What a mage! I've said it all, I'm a wizard, I'm a wizard! Although they belong to the ranks of spellcasters like mages, the concept is different! β
"What a broken title!"
Crazy spitting groans.
Saitama, who was standing beside him, was gray again, curled up in the corner of the bed with his hands and legs. As if enchanted, he kept repeating a sentence.
"There won't be any female fans..."
The phone sent to him by the Hero Guild was flipped to the side, and it was clear from the flickering screen that he had also received a message from the Guild.
I saw a few eye-catching big characters written on it.
C-class second bald cape...
Bald cape
Baldness?
Cloak?
It's vivid, but it's a sad story.
To be honest, even if you become a hero, the daily life of the one-punch world is quite boring. During this period, Jelf collected a lot of information about this world, and the technology, life, and humanities level of this world are similar to those of the modern 21st century, but their own black technologies emerge in endlessly. There are countless scientists who are far beyond ordinary people, and the overall level of science and technology is several levels higher than that of the Dragon Ball world, and some of those who specialize in human research are about to catch up with Dr. Gallo.
The key point of the problem is that the world's science and technology seems to be crooked, and there are so many black technologies that have not yet developed to the point of cosmic transportation and cosmic colonization, and they still stay on the earth.
The heroes of this world feel like they've become Ultraman, and those weirdos are just little monsters that pop up everywhere. The nearest hero is responsible for taking them down.
It is worth mentioning that unlike Ultraman's free fight against small monsters, heroes can earn money after defeating the monster to confirm the information, and the hero will get the corresponding income for each monster defeated in addition to the monthly income.
Especially for high-level heroes, the reward for high-level heroes to defeat high-level monsters is very considerable. At least the weirdos that Jelf defeated were enough for him to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
It is said that this was proposed by Agni, the founder of the Hero Association, the richest man in the world, and approved by the heads of state. The purpose is to keep the hero from worrying about other trivial things and to defeat the weirdos single-mindedly.
What used to be Agni's own out-of-pocket pocket has now become a state subsidy. In a sense, the profession of hero is the public fog ape of the one-punch world, but he does practical things every day.
The most obvious example of this is Hell Blowing Snow, who is the first in the B rank, and her Snow Blowing group. Look at the pomp and circumstance of others, it is a high-end sports car, a brand-name bag, and a leather coat. Every member wears a straight suit, don't look at those just minions, the suits on their bodies are all brand-name goods, each of which is not less than 100,000 (for the sake of easy reading, set RMB uniformly)! And that's just the income of B-rank heroes.
Among the S-class heroes, there are several scientific ones, and the research funds are supported by the name of the S-class heroes. The income of an S-class hero can support a large laboratory, this sentence is not just words.
Ordinary citizens pay a monthly tax called the Hero Tax!
In addition to this, the perks of being a "hero" are quite good. According to the exposure and popularity, you can be interviewed by the media from time to time, and even receive advertisements like big stars and even participate in movies and TV series, etc., these belong to the Personal Freedom Heroes Association, and will not be held accountable, as long as you can be there to solve the trouble when the weirdo appears.
For example, "Handsome Guy Kamen Sweetheart Kamen", which ranked first in the A-level, this man often appears on the front pages of major websites and newspapers, and goes in and out of various interviews. There is even a support group of nearly 10,000 people, all of whom are women. It's really envious of others.
On the other hand, heroes need to publish all personal information except for privacy on the Hero Association's website. Even whether or not to get married, there have been examples of heroes choosing to marry their fans. Every hero above grade B is a precious treasure of the Hero Association and even mankind, and the directors of the Hero Association have taken great pains to deal with the problems of the heroes' descendants, genetic problems, and genetic problems.
Not only that, but there are also many one-stop services, which are completely the style of the privileged class. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in this world who want to be heroes every day.
But it's also reassuring to think about it, heroes are a high-risk profession, and every hero is gambling with his life every mission. Without a certain material foundation, it is impossible to rely on ideals and dreams alone!
That's the reality! This world hero is a profession!
"Casey, how's the research going?" In the room next to Saitama, Jelf said.
There was a vacant seat in front of him, as if he were talking to the air.
"It's a headache, those materials are incomplete, and I can only simulate an approximation. The designer is a true genius, implanting high-quality genes that have been screened by other creatures, and matching, fusing and optimizing them is superior to the experiments we have done before. β
Casey's voice rang out in Jelf's heart, and he and the other elves were stationed in the spatial ring that Jelf had with him. This is a good place to create a space item with a traceless extension spell, which can store living things.
The stronger Gerf is, the more space can be created. Now Casey's entire lab can fit into it, a portable lab. It's very convenient.
"The critical steps and data are so mutilated that even if we know how to artificially create powerful creatures. It takes countless trials to do so, and it can take several years at the earliest. It's not worth the cost..."
Casey grumbled rarely.
"I'm sorry, but I accidentally destroyed the lab. Then do you want me to kidnap that doctor, he must remember the experimental data and procedures. β
The laboratory in Jelf's mouth refers to the House of Evolution, which Jelf gives to Casey what he can collect after the House of Evolution is destroyed. Hope to get something useful.
"Give it up, we've not done this part of biological research for a long time. Rather than continue to work on this field, it is better to try a combination of magic and technology. Isn't there a lot of black technology in this world? It shouldn't be hard to get a little bit. The guy called Metal Knight who is ranked above you among the S-Rank heroes, if only you could get his hands on this guy's mechanical armor. β
Seeing Casey say this, Jelf stopped insisting. It's true that biological research is not their field of expertise... Originally, I just had the idea of giving it a try.
"That guy..."
There was a knock on the door of the room.
"How is this guy?" It is easy to perceive the situation outside the door through the door. Jerf felt a bit of a headache.
"You can do it yourself, and I won't bother." Casey finished and dived.
The knock on the door rang out again, followed by a shout.
"I know you're inside, and if you don't open the door, I'll call you. Say that you will give up from the beginning to the end. β
"That female rascalβ" Jelf had a black line in his head, and he opened the door in desperation.
Standing outside the door was blowing snow.
