Chapter 185 Miyano Shiho: Death does not mean the end
As the figure hit the ground, another figure flashed out from the hazy moonlight.
"Damn it! What kind of monster are you?!" Flash's mentality was extremely broken at this moment.
After all, five seconds ago, he had an absolute advantage.
He never expected that in just five seconds, he would be caught up by a rookie who seemed to have no fighting experience and was even injured.
Of course, since we are fighting with others, getting injured is just a small matter.
The real big deal is that the other party is cheating!
The dozens of wounds that were finally pulled out no longer exist.
If he had not seen the other party's super-terrifying self-healing ability with his own eyes, he would have thought that he had been under an illusion.
"It's really rude to call you a monster. This princess just has a slightly special physique and a stronger self-healing ability." Alexia said lightly.
"Monster! Die!" Flash suddenly roared, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
"Flash, what you did is completely different from what you said!" Alexia disappeared immediately, and her voice became longer and longer with the distance.
That’s right, although Flash yelled fiercely, his actual choice was to run away.
After all, if it was so difficult to kill a girl with silver and white twin tails under Li's command, let alone the others, so Flash decisively chose to run away.
Unfortunately, his every move was within the reach of Alexia's observation Haki, so the moment Flash ran away, Alexia chased after him.
The two chased each other across the entire city of A all the way to the beach of city H. Faced with the obstruction of the vast ocean, Alexia was finally able to intercept the exhausted Flash.
After a few seconds, Flash finally couldn't withstand Alexia's crazy attack and was beaten to death on the spot.
If Flash's body had not been brought back to the villa for Reed to use the copy card, Flash would probably have been beaten to death by Alexia.
That's right, Alexia didn't use the sword from the beginning, otherwise Flash's Sesshomaru would have been cut off by Alexia's sword long ago.
After all, the two swords were not on the same level in terms of toughness or sharpness, so the metal collision sound at the beginning was actually the sound of Seshomaru and Alexia's hands hardened by demonic energy colliding.
After taking a look at Flash's completely deformed body, Alexia picked up Flash's body with a little disgust, and then teleported back to the villa in City A.
"Alexia, it took you a lot of time!" Claire spoke first.
"Sister Claire, you sensed it, too. When this guy realized he couldn't win, he turned around and ran away. I had to chase him all the way to the coast of H City before I stopped him." Alexia looked exhausted.
"Okay, stop playing the victim. This distance is just a regular exercise for you." Victoria couldn't stand Alexia's teasing look.
"Talk less!" Reed said as he exchanged for a copy card and used it on Flash's body to copy the Flash skill.
"Master, give me the body!" Miyano Shiho said.
"Is this corpse useful?" Li De couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, it is useful. This body has just died, and I can use my abilities to repair it. Then I can give Flash a replacement mechanical brain with intelligent control. In addition, I want to use the first genetic modification on him. If it succeeds, it will be like having an extra dragon-level fighter." Miyano Shiho nodded and said.
"In that case, you can take it." Reed didn't expect that even after Flash died, Miyano Shiho would not let him go.
Mechanical brain, Miyano Shiho has only been following the three scientists for a few days, and she already has such a crazy idea in her mind.
"Shiho, are there any safety risks with intelligent control?" Miyano Akemi at the side couldn't help but remind her.
After all, she had been exposed to too much ultra-modern technology with Miyano Shiho during this period of time, and she knew very well that these technologies could easily be left with backdoors.
"It doesn't matter. This is also a test for the Drive Warriors. Even if he leaves a backdoor, can he still hurt us?" Miyano Shiho Shiho has absolute confidence in this.
After all, in her eyes, technological products have too many flaws. As long as she wants, she can make the other party's transformation ineffective at any time.
"Okay, I agree. It would be great if we could fully master this technology." Claire clearly thought more about what she said, and she probably already considered things in the real world.
As soon as Reed heard this, he knew what Claire was thinking.
It’s a pity that the real world does not have such a strong modern industrial foundation, so the best we can do is to make enough mechanical brains here and then take them back to the real world.
But it is impossible to manufacture it there in a short period of time.
Not to mention other things, just the use of electricity, no one on Li De's side understands the fusion technology that Child Emperor came up with.
Without relevant talents, it is simply unrealistic to build a modern military scientific research base.
Fortunately, Li De now has the Boundary Gate. If he really sees some talent in the future, he can just use the Boundary Gate to take the person away without having to bother to sign a contract with the other party.
In this way, after finding the relevant talents, Li De can consider establishing a scientific research base in the real world.
"Shiho, put the mechanical brain aside for now and focus on the project at hand. Controlling others is always unreliable. Only your own strength is the real foundation." Li De took the initiative to reject Claire's proposal.
After all, it feels like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
"Yes, master!" Miyano Shiho said immediately.
After all, if Li De didn't veto it, Miyano Shiho would have no choice but to carry out Claire's orders.
It's because of Claire's special status that all the women in Reed know about it.
Claire was not angry that Reed rejected her proposal. After all, she was just making a suggestion. She would do her best if she could, but it didn't matter if she couldn't.
The next day, when the outside world discovered that the official website of the Hero Association had undergone tremendous changes, there was an uproar and the comment section of the official website was almost paralyzed.
After all, there were nearly 400 heroes before, but now there are less than 40 left, which is equivalent to eliminating 90% of the professional heroes in one go.
How can the people remain calm? After all, the monster disasters over the past year were all solved by the Hero Association.
That is to say, when the dragon-level disaster struck yesterday, the Hero Association responded promptly and forcefully, and Sweet Mask was constantly guiding public opinion. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether praise or condemnation would prevail in public opinion at this moment.
Of course, after carefully understanding the new professional hero selection criteria, the public was mostly praising it.
Although the hero activities organized by the Hero Association before can indeed help some ordinary people, such small favors are not as important as defeating monsters. Instead, they are suspected of putting the cart before the horse. Who said that the purpose of the establishment of the Hero Association is to defeat monster disasters? But now it is different. Professional heroes no longer play the previous hero games, but use pure performance as the standard.
Only after defeating monsters can one obtain the title of hero, which has aroused a lot of interest among the powerful civilians who previously looked down upon the Hero Association.
Of course, these people would definitely not tell others that they were attracted by the new benefits of the Hero Association.
It has to be said that men understand men best. Li De knows too well how attractive those futuristic sci-fi-style vehicles are to many men.
This can be seen from the surge in the number of reserve registrations reported by various branches the next day.
In fact, before the new system was officially announced, there was a small episode, which was the issue of recruiting reserve forces.
After all, in the eyes of some people, one must capture or defeat monsters in order to become a hero, so is it necessary to recruit reserve forces?
The result of the discussion is that it is necessary, because in the eyes of another group of people, strength in numbers is always necessary.
In addition, there are three major benefits to retaining reserves. The first benefit is that novices can be trained in combat, whether it is cold weapon combat or hot weapon combat.
Of course, apart from free injury treatment, the training fee is not free, but is quite high.
However, the association does not force any training, and it is absolutely a voluntary process.
The second benefit is that the reserve personnel can use the association's intelligence channels to obtain the exact location and general strength of the monsters before those outside the association.
What if they are also in the reserve force?
Well, this is determined by the level of priority notification based on consumption within the association.
That's right, no matter what time, Makay will never give up the so-called operating methods.
He will never miss any opportunity to charge a fee, he is definitely a true capitalist.
Li De did not stop this. After all, it was beneficial to the association. In addition, the operating funds increased by selling weapons and training fees were in Li De's own hands.
Macoy himself actually didn't get any practical benefits, but he could use this to leave a label of being capable in Reed's mind, and that was all.
The third major benefit is that it brings people together. After all, anyone who wants to use the Hero Association's intelligence network must first join the reserve force, so that the number of reserves can continue to increase.
Even if the proportion of people who become heroes is very low, as long as the base number is large enough, there will still be a lot of people who become heroes, no matter how low the proportion is. This is the true meaning of strength in numbers.
Because of these three advantages, the reserve force has been retained.
For the general public, although the reserve force is suspected of exploitation, the fact that one can get free treatment after being injured is attractive enough.
This is also the reason why the number of registrations in each branch increased sharply after the new system and benefits were announced.
Especially when that cunning guy Makay lowered the standards for physical fitness assessment, the number of people who could enter the reserve force skyrocketed.
In just a few days, the number of reservists, which originally numbered only about 300, has soared to more than 10,000. Moreover, this surge shows no sign of stopping. Instead, it is still increasing, but the speed is not as terrifying as in the previous few days.
Why is this?
It's very simple, because in the supercontinent of One Punch Man World, due to the rapid population growth, the unemployment rate remains high, the employment rate of young people is not high, and even the employment rate of fresh college graduates is less than 60%.
Because there are too many young people who cannot find jobs, when the job of professional hero, which has extremely high benefits and no diploma threshold or work experience restrictions, appeared, it immediately triggered a signing-up frenzy.
Although professional heroes belong to a high-risk job that requires one to put their heads on the line, the benefits are too high and the threshold is too low.
As long as you are not afraid of death, anyone can come and try.
After all, if you were lucky enough to defeat a monster and become a C-class hero, it would definitely be considered a step to heaven.
That’s right, in the eyes of the public, even becoming a C-level hero is considered a step to heaven.
After all, many of the benefits of C-class heroes are beyond the reach of even white-collar workers in medium-sized companies, and professional heroes have all their time at their disposal except when they are fighting.
This kind of job is so hard to find even with a lantern.
And for money, life is nothing.
After all, if you don't work hard, you can only wait for death or rely on your parents at home, so you might as well try your best. At worst, you can die early and be reborn early, so as to avoid the suffering of living.
Therefore, when the new system and benefits of the Hero Association were announced, as time passed, the influence began to spread to the entire supercontinent.
Ten days later, some news media completed the first round of sampling surveys and found that hero has become the most popular profession in the super continent.
Although the actual employment rate is very low, the welfare provided by the Hero Association is genuine.
In the past, whenever a monster appeared, the first reaction of the general public was to escape and then wait for the belated arrival of heroes or rescue.
But now, every time a monster appears, some people have not even run far before the reserve forces rush over.
Yes, in many cases, the reserves arrive faster than the professional heroes.
If you come too late, you might miss the opportunity to upgrade.
The current notification system of the association is like this. Wolf-level monsters generally do not notify C-level heroes, but only notify the reserves.
The Tiger-level monsters will first send a message to the C-level heroes and some promising reserves, and only after confirming that no one has accepted the mission will they notify the B-level heroes to handle it.
When it comes to ghost-level monsters, they will still notify B-level heroes first, and only after confirming that no one accepts it will they notify A-level heroes to deal with it.
The same operation is also applicable to more powerful Dragon-level monsters. Of course, in order to ensure absolute victory, it is normal to have heroes of the corresponding level following behind to provide support.
Even if these people don't take any action in the end, they can still get 10% of the task reward as appearance fee, so they don't resist.
"Sure enough, after the system became reasonable, it immediately greatly increased the enthusiasm of the public. Those folk masters who used to look down on the association are now unable to sit still." Xiqi said excitedly as he looked at the data that was surging every day.
"I'm actually a little worried that there are too many heroes." Saikingal on the side frowned. After all, this terrifying increase speed made him excited but also a little scared.
