Chapter 491: Decision
Chapter 491: Decision
Earth.
Human Survival Zone, City A.
This was the central city of the Human Survival Zone and the headquarters of the Hero Association. With a larger number of resident heroes compared to other cities, it often dispatched heroes to provide swift support in situations beyond the control of other cities.
In a room within a luxurious hotel in a bustling commercial district, Feng Ye entered, holding a newly purchased cell phone.
Ding!
"XXX received 247.28 million yuan."
Just as he sat down on the sofa, a message popped up on his phone, which Feng Ye casually swiped away.
Upon his return to the human world, money was naturally essential, and acts like stealing or robbing were obviously distasteful. So, he casually used his Magnetic Escape ability to extract some gold from underground.
The Wind Shadow ability was quite convenient in this regard; it was much more time and energy-efficient than using the Six Paths Power to create gold.
Aside from being a world that easily gave birth to various mutants, the One-Punch Man world was no different from any other. Its technological level was slightly more advanced, and gold still held a fixed value.
With a casual effort, he had acquired this substantial sum of money.
Although in terms of pure physical combat, even in his current peak state, he might still fall slightly short of Lord Boros, the sound of the money transfer notification on his phone would probably have made Boros' hair fall out if he had heard it.
"The One-Eyed Emperor... Heh heh heh..."
After sitting on the sofa, Feng Ye quickly familiarized himself with the new phone and started browsing the latest news to gain a deeper understanding of this world. However, he soon stumbled upon a peculiar headline.
Bald Cape vs. One-Eyed Cape—Is it a Show or the Truth?!
"They actually named my Ten-Tails form the One-Eyed Emperor..." Feng Ye's lips twitched slightly.
He suddenly felt like transforming into his Ten-Tails form again and going on a rampage, just to let humanity experience once more the feeling of being dominated by the One-Eyed Emperor. But after seeing the title "Bald Cape," he felt a sense of relief.
Unexpectedly, even after Lord Boros' battle with him, which revealed a power that terrified the entire planet, he couldn't escape the fate of having his hero name ridiculed.
Well.
At least "Bald Cape" sounded a bit more imposing than "Cape Baldy."
As he continued scrolling, a faint, mocking smile appeared on Feng Ye's lips.
Instead of praising Lord Boros for stopping the Ten-Tails' rampage, this news article was actually questioning the entire event!
Furthermore, many of the comments below followed suit, with some even claiming that the whole incident was staged, deliberately belittling other S-class heroes.
Leaning back on the sofa with a mocking expression, Feng Ye thought to himself that if he remembered correctly, the battle between him and Lord Boros should have been live-streamed to various cities around the world.
Even so, there were still people doubting Lord Boros' combat strength.
But it was understandable. Fans often couldn't accept their beloved idols being disparaged, even in the face of undeniable facts, choosing to turn a blind eye and refute them with all their might.
Compared to other S-class heroes, Lord Boros' charisma was abysmally low, and Feng Ye suspected that Lord Boros' charisma stat might even be zero! Thinking about it this way, the situation made more sense.
"Father."
Just as Feng Ye was browsing through other information, Lilith walked over with a cup of tea in her hand, which she offered to him.
Feng Ye took the cup, took a sip of tea while still looking at his phone, and then placed the cup back on the tray she was holding.
Lilith retracted her hand and stared at the tea cup that Feng Ye had returned, her amber eyes flashing with curiosity. After a moment's thought, she extended her small tongue and licked the surface of the water.
Lilith blinked and, with innocent eyes, replied, "I was just... curious about the taste..."
Seeing Lilith's bewildered expression, Feng Ye tapped his forehead and said, "That was the tea I drank from. You're not supposed to do that, especially not in front of others. Understand?"
Confused, Lilith asked, "Can't I have something Father has discarded?"
"That's different," Feng Ye replied helplessly. "Just remember what I said about drinking tea for now." He felt that perhaps he should stay a bit longer in the world of One Piece and teach Lilith more about common sense before moving on. Lacking such knowledge could be dangerous.
"Yes, Father."
Lilith nodded quietly, her amber eyes fixed on Feng Ye.
Feng Ye looked at her and said, "Also, when we're in this world, try to avoid calling me 'Father' like that."
In the Land of Wano in the world of One Piece, such a form of address was common, but in this modern world, it seemed overly respectful and might come across as strange.
"Then how should I address Father?" Lilith asked, tilting her head slightly.
Feng Ye rested his hand on his chin, deep in thought. "You can drop the honorific, but it's fine to include it as well. It depends on the occasion... You'll figure it out eventually. So, until you understand human customs better, it's best to refrain from acting without thinking."
"Okay."
Lilith nodded obediently.
Feng Ye spent some more time on his phone, familiarizing himself with the world. After gaining a better understanding, he fell into deep thought.
In the previous world, he had assumed the identity of a traveler, a role he found rather satisfying. However, he wouldn't continue with that identity in this world.
Ever since leaving the world of One Piece, he had been contemplating the path he wanted to take. He decided that in each new world, he would choose a different role, profession, and identity.
This approach would help him maintain his humanity and prevent him from ending up like Bald Cape, devoid of emotion and hair.
A monster?
No.
The image of a monster was far too uncouth.
After a moment of contemplation, Feng Ye shook his head and chuckled. In this world, it seemed there weren't many occupation choices beyond being a monster or a hero, and he had no interest in becoming a scientist.
"How about a dual identity, then?"
After a brief moment of introspection, Feng Ye made his decision.
The strongest monster!
The strongest hero!
He would embody both identities during his time in this world.
Of course, these were just superficial goals. His true purpose was to gain the power to surpass Bald Cape! In this world...
His strength could reach even greater heights!
Although his time-traveling ability allowed him to go back and kill Bald Cape in the past, if he encountered beings that had been at their peak since birth or had lived for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, his ability would only be useful for escape, not victory.
Therefore, enhancing his power was still necessary, and this world... was perfect for cultivating the Divine Tree!
