Chapter 181: Professional Hero Conference Continued.
"I have also killed tiger-level monsters more than once, so why was I downgraded to C-level?" Fubuki asked in confusion.
"Hell's Fubuki, we know very well that your Fubuki team has killed tiger-level monsters and has successfully defeated them three times." Xichi said in a deep voice.
"Then why were we demoted?!" Fubuki asked more and more confused.
"This is assessed based on teamwork. Your Fubuki team currently has 11 members. This means that the Fubuki team must successfully defeat or capture 11 Tiger-level monsters in order to maintain its B-level status.
Everyone present here, it is undeniable that team combat is definitely more advantageous than single-player combat, but if the results are calculated in the same way as for a single player, it would be unfair to the individual.
Therefore, the association calculates the team's combat record based on the number of people. For example, the more people in the Fubuki team, the more combat records are required. Therefore, when you want to form a team to fight, it is best to consider the number of people.
You have to know that different hero levels represent a huge difference in the benefits they enjoy. When I announce the benefits later, everyone will understand where the difference lies. Now, Hell's Blizzard, do you have any questions? "Xiqi looked at Blizzard and asked.
"I" Fubuki opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment.
"Really? I told you not to be obsessed with the B-level club, but you didn't listen. Now you know how embarrassed you are." Tornado's voice rang out.
"Sister, I..." Fubuki was at a loss for a moment.
"Disband your C-level club immediately!" Tornado continued to put pressure on them.
"Okay, Tornado, let's talk about your sisters' affairs slowly later. And didn't I tell you before that it's not okay to just be strong towards your sister Fubuki?" Li De's voice sounded.
"Tsk!" Upon hearing that, Tornado stopped talking.
"Xici, please continue." Li De said then.
This little episode during the conference shocked many people.
You know, that was a trembling tornado.
I heard that he has a notoriously bad temper, but now he has controlled his temper after listening to people's preaching. There must be something fishy going on here. Maybe it's the gossip of the year.
"Ahem, let's continue with the previous topic. Among the former C-rank heroes, including the heroes who were demoted from B-rank just now, there are a total of 16 who have a record of defeating wolf-level monsters. They are Golden Ball, Smiling Superman, Shadow Ring, Fiza, Air, and all members of the Blizzard Team. Except for the above people, all others have been demoted to professional hero reserves."
As soon as Xiqi finished speaking, the entire venue exploded.
"What the hell is this professional hero reserve? It's depriving me of my C-class hero status."
"That's right, how can this be possible? I've been working hard on heroic activities just to get a ranking!"
"Depriving me of my hero level means that all my hard work has gone to waste. How can I accept this?"
"No, absolutely not. We want an explanation from the top management."
"Quiet!"
Along with a voice that was clearly heard by everyone, most of the people present felt a terrifying breath coming towards them, as if a mountain was pressing on their chest, making it difficult for them to breathe.
The next second, the originally noisy conference hall suddenly became quiet.
For a moment, everyone looked towards the stage, and most people's eyes were filled with fear.
All eyes were focused on the man behind Xiqi, from whom visible black demonic energy was constantly emanating, and who exuded a terrifying aura.
"Xici, continue!" Li De's voice immediately sounded in Xichi's ears.
"Yes, Master Sid! Everyone, the association is well aware of how hard you have worked to maintain your previous hero rankings. Therefore, the association has officially decided to cancel the so-called hero activities in order to give you enough free time to practice.
However, the classification standards decided by the association will not change, and there will be no compromise in any form for members who have been demoted to the reserve. Because the association needs to ensure that from today onwards, whenever there is a monster disaster, whenever the heroes of the association appear, it will only bring victory.
When people are in crisis caused by monster disasters, they hope to see the heroes of the association appear and defeat the monsters in a few moves to win, rather than the heroes of the association appearing brilliantly but being quickly defeated by the monsters and falling to the ground.
Therefore, this strict new standard was established to let everyone know where their strength lies. At the same time, it also lets the association dispatchers know clearly what level of monsters your strength can guarantee to win against.
Everyone, the association's previous rough mode of blindly responding to monster disasters has ended. Now the association requires more precise deployment of combat power, one to ensure victory, and the other to protect your lives.
In order to ensure accurate prediction of the disaster level of monsters, the association has issued a joint task to Child Emperor, Metal Knight and Drive Knight, requiring them to work together to design a software that can more accurately calculate and assess the level of monsters based on many comprehensive data such as speed and strength.
Therefore, the association will only judge the level of disasters caused by monsters more accurately in the future. Naturally, it will also require everyone to understand their own strengths and clearly position themselves. In this way, when encountering monster disasters, the association’s staff will not make wrong dispatches.
Of course, because the benefits of each hero level vary greatly, the association will definitely not stop you from wanting to upgrade, but the association does not have much tolerance for failure.
Therefore, the association will definitely support the idea of challenging higher levels to gain a higher status, but please do not ignore the consequences of failed challenges. After all, there can't be rewards without punishments, don't you agree?
If the challenge is successful, it will be what it is. If it fails, it will be directly downgraded to the reserve level. If the challenger is a reserve, the association will give you three chances to fail.
If you fail three times, it means that you are not suitable for the job of a professional hero. It is better to quit early to avoid accidentally losing your life. After all, a professional hero is a profession where only the strong can survive.
That’s all about the new grading system. After you calm down, you can think about whether to stay or leave. Now I will introduce the benefits of professional heroes. Please look at the big screen. We have formulated different new benefits for different heroes. "
After Xichi announced the new welfare benefits, most of the people present began to breathe faster.
You have to know that whether it is the motorcycle modified by the Drive Knight, the armored off-road vehicle modified by the Metal Knight, or the armed helicopter modified by Child Emperor, the biggest attraction does not lie in the weapon system carried on it.
Rather, it is the added value brought by these means of transportation themselves.
That’s right, it’s cool!
Take the transportation of C-class heroes for example. If they appear alone, it is already very cool and stylish. If they appear as a team, it will definitely look very grand.
Compared to this, the guaranteed salary for each level and the super high bonuses for defeating monsters have to take a back seat.
Except for a few people, most people now want to have such a cool way of waiting.
Especially the S-level personal armor, which touched the hearts of countless men.
If we say that the professional heroes in the past looked like a ragtag group of people, they were not even that.
The new benefits will give these ragtag troops a complete makeover, giving them an elite aura at first glance.
The uniform black, stab-proof combat uniforms with the Hero Association's logo and the futuristic, high-tech transportation tools completely elevated the professional heroes' status. It was not until the new benefits were announced that everyone understood why the Association had set such a strict level standard and preferred to have fewer people than fewer.
The reason has been laid out, that is, the association is about to make high investments in powerful and capable people, and naturally will not allow weaklings to sneak in and slack off.
In fact, any discerning person can see that if the means of transportation configured for heroes of corresponding levels and the weapon systems carried on them are operated properly, they have the firepower to kill monsters of corresponding levels.
In other words, it is not necessary to have heroes of the corresponding level; other people operating these weapon systems may also be able to complete the crusade.
But why do heroes have to be of corresponding levels to be equipped with equivalent firepower?
Because the association wants to ensure one thing, that is absolute victory when facing monster disasters.
What is foreseeable next is that once the association announces the new benefits, there will be an unknown number of people who want to become reservists.
Perhaps it is because of this that the association is not worried at all about anyone withdrawing.
If you ask the people who just made a big fuss whether they would quit, they will probably just say that they didn't say anything just now.
Even though they know that being demoted is shameful, the newly announced benefits are too tempting to resist.
Even after Li De had calmed down, many people were already discussing the possibility of forming a team.
After all, when one's personal strength is indeed insufficient, sticking together for warmth is indeed a good survival wisdom.
As for the Fubuki group, which has the largest number of heroic members, its founder, Fubuki, is in a dilemma at the moment.
"Lord Fubuki!" Nunchaku Lily looked at Fubuki with a worried look.
Shan Yuan, Eyelashes, Glasses and others on the side were also looking at Fubuki worriedly. They had a premonition that the Fubuki group might not be able to continue.
Who asked them to be the ones who dragged their team down and brought shame to their Lord Fubuki today?
"I need to think about it carefully!" Fubuki said with a conflicted expression.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the original work that Fubuki has a very strong personal self-esteem, and she pays attention to the pomp when she appears.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes and picked up in luxury cars, the main theme is a sense of extravagance.
Let’s take a look at the house where Tornado lives in the comics. It is actually just an ordinary one-family house. It is not difficult to know where Tornado’s bonus for defeating monsters went.
It is precisely because of Fubuki's personality that she, who has the strength of an A-level hero in the original work, is willing to stay in B-level.
Because she knew that she could not be the first in Class A, she would rather stay in Class B and be the first than be promoted to Class A and become inconspicuous.
But the situation now is much worse than in the original book.
After Li De changed the standard for hero levels, the ranking has not been brought out yet.
But the standards for grade C and grade B are clear and no longer as vague as in the past.
What this means is that C-class heroes are not as strong as B-class heroes.
For Fubuki, the goal is to sprint towards A-rank and be on par with her sister before her sister is promoted to S-rank.
After all, Tornado was pulled down with great difficulty. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to practice hard in the future in the hope of reaching the S-level.
In fact, the reason why she has this confidence is because Tornado got the meditation method that can enhance superpowers from Reed, otherwise Fubuki would never dare to think so.
It was precisely because of the meditation method that she absolutely could not tolerate herself staying at Level C.
But it was really difficult for Fubuki to drag the Fubuki group up.
Although Tiger-level monsters are far inferior to Demon-level and Dragon-level monsters, Fubuki, who has actually fought with Tiger-level monsters, knows very well that Tiger-level monsters are not that easy to deal with.
Fubuki got a headache when she thought about having to defeat eight more tiger-level monsters.
It’s not that she’s afraid of not being able to win. In fact, with the new equipment of the C-level hero, Fubuki feels that future expeditions will definitely be easier than before. After all, the weapons mounted on those motorcycles are not just for show.
But this kind of firepower is not only possessed by her, but all C-level heroes have it.
This means that from now on, the Fubuki team will need to compete with heroes who want to be promoted to Class B, as well as active Class B heroes, for the Tiger-level monsters that appear.
With such fierce competitiveness, when will it take to complete 8 crusades?
Even though there are only a dozen C-class heroes at the moment, the Fubuki team still has an absolute advantage.
But that is only for now. Starting tomorrow, those reserve guys will probably go crazy looking for wolf-level or tiger-level monsters in order to obtain official hero status.
In other words, the competition that the Fubuki group actually faces is very terrifying, because there are so many reserve personnel.
In addition, the association has no intention of stopping the recruitment of reserve forces, which means that the competition will only become greater in the future.
There weren’t many benefits before, so people wouldn’t invest much in professional heroes.
But now with super high benefits, reservists can definitely take out loans to buy weapons.
As for why Fubuki is so sure, it is not difficult to understand if you look at the benefit of the reserve forces announced by Xiqi, which allows one to order weapons at internal prices.
A decision must be made.
Fubuki knew very well that if she stayed in rank C, she would be laughed at by many people.
Especially whenever someone mentions her sister Tornado, they will inevitably mention her disappointing younger sister.
The thought of this possibility was unbearable for Fubuki.
"Everyone in the Fubuki team, I'm afraid I have to make a helpless decision." Taking a deep breath, Fubuki said to the members of the Fubuki team around her.
