Chapter 158: Budget Warrior Genos
Chapter 158: Budget Warrior Genos
"Are you sure you'll get paid by the end of the month and pay me back the money you borrowed?"
Walking on the streets of Z City, Saitama had already lost count of how many times he had asked Yecheng this question. Yecheng's ears were practically numb from hearing it.
"You're so annoying. I told you I'd borrow 30,000 yen from you, 20,000 for food expenses, and the remaining 10,000 is a loan.
I'll repay you as soon as my salary arrives at the end of the month. It's just 30,000 yen; why are you so worried? Do you think I can't pay you back?"
At this moment, Yecheng and Saitama were on their way to withdraw money from an ATM. Due to this month's financial deficit, Yecheng was in such a tight spot that he had to resort to borrowing money from Baldy.
Baldy usually had a nonchalant attitude towards everything, but when it came to his own survival, he couldn't help but take it seriously.
He had been unemployed for several years, and his original savings weren't substantial. If Yecheng borrowed money and didn't repay it, Baldy would be in a truly dire situation.
However, thinking of Yecheng's room full of collectibles and his high-paying job, Baldy felt a bit more at ease.
Moreover, he wasn't lending the money for free. Yecheng generously offered to pay him the appropriate interest.
Just as the two were about to head out to withdraw the money, the wall along the street suddenly shattered, and a handsome guy with golden spiky hair and a body exuding a metallic aura flew past them!
Almost simultaneously, a stunningly curvy humanoid with wings flapping behind her chased after the golden-haired guy at an incredible speed.
"Is this a scene of a beauty pursuing a handsome guy? Are they playing cosplay? I remember there's a manga in your house with a similar plot, Yecheng."
"Idiot! Have you ever seen a humanoid and a cyborg fall in love? Even if they don't mind racial differences, considering genetics and physical structure, they should still have difficulty communicating."
If an ordinary person suddenly encountered such an unexpected situation, they'd probably be scared stiff by now.
But for Yecheng and Saitama, who lived in Z City, this scene was indeed peculiar, but not entirely new to them.
Not to mention Saitama's near-invincible strength, even Yecheng could sense through 'Aura Perception' that the cyborg and humanoid who had just appeared before them had an aura strength of only 'Ghost Rank'.
The humanoid with wings and the golden-haired cyborg were no strangers to Yecheng. They were Mosquito Woman and Genos, respectively, both created by Dr. Kinose of the Evolution House.
Genos, with his golden spiky hair, had a series of well-known titles, including 'Budget Warrior' and 'Invincible War God'.
If one wasn't familiar with them, it would be hard to judge their character solely based on their appearance.
Mosquito Woman, despite being a monster, had a stunning figure, a beautiful face, and a highly seductive outfit. How could such a character, who exuded sexiness, be simply described as a villain?
As for Genos, it was undeniable that he had a handsome face among male characters.
However, with his cold demeanor and Yecheng and Saitama's straightforward masculinity, their gaze was mostly fixed on Mosquito Woman's alluring figure.
"You little brat, you've been chasing me all this way, and now your energy is almost depleted. It's my turn to pin you down and rub you into the ground!"
After Mosquito Woman left the Evolution House, she had been strengthening herself by sucking the blood of others.
However, his bad luck struck again as he encountered the meddlesome Genos soon after taking action.
The two fought from the city they encountered all the way to Z-City, engaging in an intense aerial battle.
At first, Genos held the upper hand because, for Mosquito Girl, Genos was almost like a natural counter to her existence.
Mosquito Girl had the ability to suck the blood of others to strengthen herself, but Genos, as a fully modified human, had no blood in his body, only plenty of machine oil.
Unable to use her abilities on Genos, Mosquito Girl was naturally at a severe disadvantage, so she could only repeatedly choose to dodge and escape.
However, Genos's advantage wasn't something he could maintain indefinitely. As a modified human, while he possessed formidable combat power, his strength couldn't be without limits.
To unleash his full combat power, sufficient energy was essential, especially in high-intensity battles. Genos's energy consumption rate was particularly astonishing.
As he pursued Mosquito Girl, Genos's energy consumption increased, while his opponent, Mosquito Girl, kept herself replenished by occasionally draining the blood of passersby.
With this shift in their fortunes, Genos, who had initially held the advantage, was soon suppressed by Mosquito Girl. She knocked him down from the sky, leading to the scene that unfolded before Saitama and Genos.
As Mosquito Girl approached them with a fiery figure, twisting her graceful body, Genos's expression became quite unpleasant.
Indeed, his energy consumption was significant, but the remaining energy was still sufficient to use his most potent attack—the Incineration Cannon!
Previously, when Genos realized his energy consumption issue, he had a plan.
He would wait for Mosquito Girl to let her guard down and then deliver an ultra-ultimate move to finish her off!
There was no mistake; Genos was knocked away by Mosquito Girl not because of excessive energy consumption but because he deliberately left an opening.
Their landing in Z-City was not a coincidence but a result of Genos's computer calculations.
His ultimate move, the Incineration Cannon, had immense power and would inevitably cause significant damage to the surrounding area.
To avoid harming innocents, Genos deliberately led Mosquito Girl to the sparsely populated Z-City.
However, he hadn't anticipated his bad luck. According to the computer's calculations, the current population of Z-City was less than 0.1% of the total population.
Yet, the spot they randomly chose to land had two passing-by "ordinary people"!
Concerned that the Incineration Cannon would affect Saitama and Genos, Genos hesitated for a moment before changing his approach. With a burst of flames from his feet, his body shot towards Mosquito Girl, and he unleashed a rapid Machine Gun Punch.
Each punch, propelled by high-pressure jets, had the speed of a bullet. The continuous punches truly lived up to the name Machine Gun Punch.
As he kept punching, Genos didn't forget to shout at Saitama and Genos, who were still spectating: "It's dangerous here! Get out of here quickly!"
