A mob of clones

Chapter 498: Mist Core: I want to make money; Tornado: I want to beat someone up

As for the psychological impact of Tornado having his head robbed so many times, Yiquan Mist Core, who left early, naturally had no idea.

At a speed dozens of times that of a swordfish, it didn't take long for the One Punch Mist Core to bring Dr. Kinos and the Armored Gorilla back to City X where they lived.

However, as soon as he came back, Yiquan Mist Core discovered a very serious problem - "The house was smashed so cleanly, where should I live next?"

It doesn't matter if I punch the mist core by myself.

For him, summoning some marine creatures to form a sealed space and lying on the elastic and firm skin of the marine creatures is much more comfortable than many high-end mattresses.

If he really didn't want to, he could just open a hotel. Although he didn't have much money, he could afford to stay in a hotel for two days.

But now with Kinos and Armored Gorilla under his command, things are a little more difficult to deal with.

Dr. Kinos is an evil doctor from an anti-human research institute wanted by all of humanity.

The armored gorilla's gorilla-like appearance makes it impossible for it to appear in front of people casually.

Yiquan Wuhe had just become a boss, he couldn't just leave people there and say, "You guys go find a place to live, I'm leaving first," and then run away...

You recruit talented people to work for you, but then you don't pay them wages or provide them with food and lodging, which is fine, but they have to pay for everything themselves. Even if Yiquan Wuhe is thick-skinned enough, he still feels a little embarrassed.

Even the evil capitalists don't play like this...

Fortunately, Dr. Kinos is not an ordinary employee.

He was willing to recognize Yiquan Wuhe as his leader not for any money.

He had remembered the general situation of the One Punch Mist Core before landing, and before the One Punch Mist Core could even speak, he submitted to him a guide to the action plan for the next period of time for their new force "Voice of the Star"...

Looking at the tablet that Kinos was handing to him as soon as he landed in front of him, a question mark popped up involuntarily on his head after punching the mist core.

The next moment he was attracted by the words on the tablet in front of him.

At the same time, Dr. Kinos's voice sounded in his ears, explaining to him the general information of the plan.

"Boss, I have already done some research on your general information before I sent the cyborgs to invite you to the House of Evolution."

"If this information is correct, you probably knew very little about the Evolution House. It is even very likely that you didn't even know about its existence when our transformation personnel went to your residence."

"And it was those new experimental subjects that caught your attention. On a whim, you came to the House of Evolution and invited me to study the weirdos together."

Dr. Kinos is indeed a person of high intelligence. He hits the nail on the head with his words. He does not shy away from mentioning the previous conflict between himself and One Punch Mist Core, and speaks frankly.

However, Yiquan Mist Core did not feel disgusted by this.

However, Kinos was wrong about one thing. Yiquan Mist Core's understanding of the House of Evolution began in his previous life.

Attacking the House of Evolution and recruiting him as his subordinate was not a spur of the moment decision.

But Kinos doesn't need to know these things...

Seeing Yiquan Mist Core nod, the doctor reached out and lifted his glasses, and then stretched out his hand to tidy up his slightly messy clothes, and then continued:

"Since this is a spur of the moment product, there is a high possibility that you have not prepared any place or funds for us to conduct research."

"And our investigation has confirmed this. Most of your assets are still in your former apartment building and the villas distributed by the Hero Association to S-class heroes."

"And after the S-class hero is certified, the S-class hero's fixed salary."

"This salary is indeed not small for ordinary people, but it is definitely not enough for researching this bottomless pit."

"So for the next period of time, our top priority is to make money."

Having said that, Kinos reached out and touched his glasses again, a confident smile appearing on his face.

In just a moment, he recovered from his previous state of crisis and regained his confidence and composure as a highly intelligent person.

"As for making money, I have thought of several good solutions."

"The simplest one is actually the method of creating a monster that you used in front of me before."

"As far as I know, there are also a lot of gray trades in the Hero Association for buying monster corpses."

"As long as the integrity of the corpse and its research value can be guaranteed, the average price of each corpse is in the millions, or even tens of millions."

"Although this number is not high in terms of scientific research, with your status as an S-class hero, as long as you can find this channel, plus the means to create monsters at almost zero cost."

"If you want to get a lot of money in a short period of time, this is undoubtedly a good way."

Hearing this, Yiquan Mist Core nodded slightly.

"It's clear from the outset that this plan won't last long."

"Any other options?"

"Yes! The second plan is related to the House of Evolution."

"Before I evolved, I independently studied various scientific technologies for more than ten years, and a considerable part of those technologies were not available in the outside world."

"These include but are not limited to physiological hygiene and surgery, biological sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, molecular biology, etc...."

"There are quite a few technologies that can be directly patented or even put on the market as products."

"You can report your destruction of the House of Evolution directly to the Hero Association."

"Then I used the excuse that I found this information and data from the House of Evolution."

"In the Hero Association, basically, as long as the hero who killed the monster asks for it, the corpses of the monsters and the various things they carry will basically be taken as the property of the hero himself."

"It's just that most of the time heroes don't have much interest in individual corpses, so the Hero Association takes them away and then sells them to the gray area through illegal channels."

"You can just use the spoils of war as an excuse to apply for a patent, and others have no right to object."

"And it comes from a legitimate source and can withstand various investigations."

Listening to the second plan mentioned by Kinos, Yiquan Mist Core also nodded slightly.

This matter can certainly stand up to investigation, because it is true that the House of Evolution was destroyed and these scientific technologies were regarded as trophies. If they are all true, how can they be false?

However, the patent application process generally requires some time for inspection.

This period of time is usually ten days, half a month or even more than a month.

It takes at least three to four months, or even half a year, to turn a patent into a product and then put it into production.

Even if Yiquan Wuhe chooses to sell the patent directly in the form of a buyout, it will take an estimated ten days to half a month to get the information from those companies, have them verify the authenticity, and sign the contract.

It’s a long time, after all, it’s only been more than a month since Yiquan Mist Core entered the foggy space.

It’s a short time, after all, how can you expect to get any results without a few years of research?

At this moment, Yiquan Mist Core nodded slightly.

The first option is to place a punch mist core to make short-term money within one or two days, but selling corpses can only be done in small quantities and multiple times.

At best, it can only be used to respond to short-term needs, but it is definitely impossible to do it in the long term.

The second one is a long-term business but it cannot meet the current urgency.

The combination of the two is just right.

Now that we have a plan, the next step is naturally to execute it.

A punch of the mist core and a wave of his hand determined what to do at the moment.

"We should wait another two days for the patent. The Hero Association will directly inform us of the elimination of the House of Evolution, and then Plan 2 can be completed."

"As for plan one..."

The Punch Mist Core paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Kinos, now that you've mentioned all that."

"Then you must have traded human corpses with those gray areas during your time at the House of Evolution. Just tell me the way and I'll go there."

"As for you now..."

Yiquan Mist Core looked up at the paralyzed armored gorilla next to him, waved his hand and took out some usable mechanical parts, and said:

"You stay here with the armored gorilla for now and let him recover his mobility. As for the rest, we can discuss it after the funds arrive."

Naturally, Kinos had no objection to this. He raised his hand to take the tablet that Yiquan Wuhe handed over, and then reached out to click on it. However, just when he was about to click on a document, a picture suddenly popped up on the tablet, causing his originally coherent movements to pause slightly, and his whole face suddenly became serious involuntarily.

If you look carefully at Dr. Kinos's slightly reflective glasses at this moment, you can see a strong body vaguely reflected in the light and shadow reflected by the glasses.

Seeing this, Yiquan Mist Core couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"what happens?"

Kinos did not hide the information that suddenly popped up. He turned the tablet in his hand over and said to Yiquan Mist Core:

"The mosquito girl is dead..."

The vision brings the other side...

City z.

"Mosquitoes, so annoying~"

With an inexplicable smile on his face, the young man named Saitama looked at the mosquito in front of him that he had finally killed and a smile of relief appeared on his face.

With such invincible strength as him, he actually ran thousands of miles just to chase a mosquito. Now that his worries are gone, how can he not feel happy?

Of course, at this moment, a breeze blew, and Saitama couldn't help but shiver all over. Then he remembered that all his clothes seemed to have been burned by the young man who had just played with fire.

Saitama didn't want to be a pervert who ran naked, so after shaking his head for a while, he just started moving.

"Go home~"

But at this moment, a powerful voice suddenly rang out, causing Saitama to pause slightly.

"Wait, please tell me your name!"

Hearing that the person was asking for his name, Saitama did not refuse. He stopped and looked at the mechanical, broken young man in front of him. He smiled and said:

"My name is Saitama."

Having said that, he wanted to continue moving forward.

However, the boy opposite spoke again at this moment:
"Please accept me as your disciple!"

The change in words from asking for the name to directly becoming the disciple was a bit too big. Saitama was unable to fully react for a moment and responded subconsciously.

"Oh~, um..."

But he reacted immediately.

"Ok?"

……

The view returns to the One Punch Mist Core...

Looking at the image reflected on the tablet in Dr. Kinos's hand, especially the muscular bald devil and the shocked and disabled young man at his feet, Yiquan Mist Core nodded slightly.

How should I put it? Although he did a lot of things, the important people didn't miss each other because of his interference. To some extent, this is a good thing.

As for Genos missing out on a beating and also missing out on a record of destroying the House of Evolution, and the bald devil also missing out on a famous "supermarket sale punch" scene, it's all the same...

So he waved his hand to Dr. Kinos to indicate that he was fine, and then he stretched hard as if to relax...

"How should I put it? There are a lot of things going on every day, but finally it's back on track again..."

One Punch Mist Core: "Speaking of Jinos~"

Kinos: “Hmm?”

"You said the hero name of the Star Sea Harmony, does it sound nice?"

……

The view turns again, to W City, in the Hero Association...

"Crack~"

A small hand with white joints slammed hard on the table, and the solid wood table shook as a result of her slap.

Also trembling were a group of staff in suits standing in front of the owner of the thin white hand.

The person sitting on the chair was about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, and judging from her appearance, she was definitely no older than 14 years old.

Standing in front of her were a group of workplace elites, at least 1.75 meters tall, dressed in suits and leather shoes, and no one was less than 25 years old.

However, the two groups of people had such a huge gap in height and number, but at this moment, the momentum was completely reversed.

Obviously the one sitting on the chair looked more like a child, but the ones being scolded were a bunch of adults...

"Four times! Four times!"

"Even if ordinary people tease dogs, they only do it once or twice!"

"It's only been a few days? How many times have I run back and forth? ——Ah!?"

"But what was the result? The weirdo didn't see it~."

“I didn’t even see the guy who dealt with the weirdo.”

"On the contrary, the inexplicable guy really took the credit."

"Look at what you guys are trying to do?!"

……

Looking at Tornado who was scolding him, he felt as if he had returned to his high school by seeing this group of so-called workplace elites.

The teacher held a pile of papers and criticized their years with great resentment.

Their teachers seemed to be like this at the time.

Suddenly, some strange PTSD attacked, causing their bodies to shake involuntarily.

Seeing the look of the people in front of him, Tornado became even more furious.

But they had been talking for quite some time, and she was a little thirsty at the moment. She stretched out her hand and used her telekinesis to get a drink, then she put in a straw and took two sips to moisten her throat.

Just as I was about to say something else, I heard a strange ringing sound.

Hearing the voice, Tornado turned his head and saw that the W City Hero Association branch seemed to have a new information.

She immediately turned her gaze to the person in charge of W City.

Feeling this gaze, the white-haired old man couldn't help but tremble all over, then he walked forward with trembling hands and feet, and immediately opened the latest news.

The last video announcement was directly displayed to almost everyone at the scene.

"Regarding the matter of the newly promoted S-class hero Xinghai Kaili destroying the House of Evolution, the Hero Association headquarters has commissioned the S-class hero Metal Knight to investigate."

"Through a comparison between the on-site environment and the information provided by Xinghai Kai Law Firm, the Hero Association determined that the feat was true."

"After internal consultations within the association, a decision was made to recognize the new S-class hero Xinghai Harmony's name as a hero, and at the same time adjust his ranking from the last place in S-class to the sixteenth place in S-class."

"Next is the live information video..."

The staff present looked at the information sent back from the headquarters, and they dared not breathe. Occasionally, some brave ones turned their heads slightly to look at the tornado beside them, but as if they felt the piercing low air, they also consciously turned their heads away again, as if nothing had happened...

At this time, Tornado didn't care about the gazes of these guys. She looked at the general personal information of "Xinghai Kailu" coming from the headquarters, especially the identity photo, and her teeth were grinding.

"Oh, now I remember. No wonder the voice sounded so familiar to me. It turned out to be you..."

Tornado was very angry and the consequences were serious. In the video just now, there was a special scene where the ground was stained with blood for a moment.

The scene only flashed for a moment, but Tornado still captured it very keenly.

That habit of directly blasting monsters into pieces~, there is no doubt about it, the one who snatched the kills from her four times was definitely this coin.

"No wonder I felt uncomfortable when I saw this guy~"

"really……"

Of course, Tornado took two deep breaths at this moment to calm himself down. Who remembers that he was constantly convincing himself in his heart.

"You can't think like that~Some things are very likely just coincidences..."

"We have to wait and see what kind of guy he is in the future..."

After taking two deep breaths, Tornado finally calmed himself down. He then turned his gaze back to the person in charge of W City and made a final judgment.

"Who is this guy?"

"The new S-class hero, Harmony of the Stars..."

"I asked his name..."

"But Miss Tornado, this doesn't comply with the rules..."

Tornado: “Hmm?”

Person in charge: "Mist core..."
