"This is natural!"
Yunxiao nodded without hesitation: "Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have invited you to do it!"
"Genos is already my disciple, so naturally I will take responsibility for him, ensuring he can continuously upgrade and become stronger!"
The value of mechanical modification technology is also considerable, and it is worthwhile to invest some effort and resources in it.
"teacher!"
Genos looked at Yunxiao with a touched expression once again.
How fortunate I am! First, I met a benefactor like Dr. Kusno, and now I have found a dedicated and responsible teacher.
God has been so good to him!
"From now on, you should train hard and make sure your mind keeps up with the changes in your body! Killing more monsters and saving more innocent people is the best way to repay us!"
Yunxia smiled and said to Genos.
"really!"
Dr. Kusno smiled and nodded.
"Yes! I will definitely work harder and won't let my teacher and doctor down!"
"Jenos shouted."
"Owner!"
At this moment, the Red Queen finished her calculations and reported to Yunxiao: "The first phase of the upgrade and transformation plan has been completed!"
"Some parts can be produced at our experimental base, but we'll need you, the owner, to create some of the high-tech, high-precision parts and components yourself!"
"In addition, there is a list of missing precious materials that I would also like to ask you to provide, Master!"
As she spoke, she projected a list of materials and accessories onto Yunxiao's face through a light screen.
"Okay! I'll take care of that! I'll give you the materials right away! Let's start producing the parts that don't require my personal attention!"
"Yes!"
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Genos's first phase of upgrade and transformation is complete!
In terms of appearance, Genos doesn't seem to have changed much.
But he, Yunxiao, and Dr. Kusno all knew that this was not the case at all.
"Let's go to a deserted area in the wild and test the condition and combat capabilities of our new body!"
Yunxiao smiled and patted Genos on the shoulder.
"Yes, teacher! I'm sorry to trouble you again!"
Genos nodded, then turned to the Doctor and said, "Doctor, let's go test it out!"
"Ok!"
Dr. Kusno smiled and nodded: "Go ahead! I can see it from here through the light screen too!"
Chapter 273
"Energy Field Shield!!"
"Phase Shift!!"
"A Certain Scientific Railgun!!"
"Lightning Spear!"
"Incineration Cannon!!"
"Blink!"
""
More than 100 kilometers away from Z, at the same Evolution House base as before, Yunxiao brought the upgraded Genos here to conduct performance and skill tests.
This time, in addition to upgrades in materials and some technologies, Yunxiao also inscribed some magical runes on Genos's mechanical body based on the magical technology of the Fairy Tail world, and also created a rudimentary version of a magic conversion device.
It can convert the energy of nuclear fusion into magic, which can be used to cast pre-written spells.
In addition, some lightning-based skills and techniques were added to Genos, making him more capable of single-target attacks.
This greatly enhances Genos's single-target attack ability.
Blink further enhances Genos's mobility and survivability.
With this upgrade and transformation, Genos's strength increased by more than tenfold.
"Teacher! My new body and abilities are amazing!"
After the test was completed, Genos excitedly told Yunxiao.
His gratitude and respect for Yunxiao had reached an unparalleled level.
He's just such a simple person!
"Then let's make good use of this power to save more innocent people and kill more evil monsters!"
Yunxiao chuckled and patted him on the shoulder, then said, "Alright! The test is over, we should head back now!"
"Yes!"
Two days later, at the headquarters of the Hero 08 Association.
Simon, the person in charge, said respectfully to Yunxiao, "Yunxiao! We have verified the information you submitted regarding Saitama's killing of the Dragon-level monster Asura Rhino Beetle and the monster kills over the past month! It is confirmed to be correct!"
"Furthermore, I am truly sorry! Due to our oversight, we have overlooked many of Saitama's achievements. On behalf of the Hero Association, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Saitama!"
"Based solely on your achievements over the past month, you are more than qualified to receive a membership invitation from the Hero Association!"
"I heard that you have been a hero for three years now. I can't imagine how many of your achievements we have overlooked in the past! I am so sorry!"
Saitama smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay! It's okay! Becoming a hero is just something I do out of interest! I don't really care!"
Then, Saitama abruptly changed the subject, saying, "By the way! What ranking will I get this time? You guys are paid, right? How much salary will I receive each month from now on?"
As he spoke, Saitama rubbed his hands together, looking embarrassed.
"Uh"
Simon, the person in charge, was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Didn't you say you didn't care?
He always felt that there was something wrong with this Saitama division!
Upon seeing this, Yunxiao quickly explained, "This guy has been helping people and killing monsters for the past few years without any income, so he's been broke for a long time!"
"Before I came along, he ate cheap, discounted food every day! He had to carefully budget his daily expenses!"
"I'm out of money, so I can only find some manual labor to earn a little bit! Life's been pretty tough! I hope you can understand!"
Upon hearing this, Simon, the person in charge, was filled with awe. This was a true hero!
How could someone live in such dire straits in order to help others and become a hero?
Simon immediately looked apologetic and said to Saitama, "I'm sorry! This is all due to our previous negligence!"
"Regarding your ranking! After discussions at the association and review and confirmation by some S-class and A-class heroes, we unanimously believe that you, Saitama, are fully qualified to be ranked 17th among S-class heroes!"
Yes! The S-level and A-level hero review was also recently proposed by Yunxiao and approved by everyone.
Thanks to the assistance of Yunxiao's powerful satellite monitoring system, the deeds of most heroes can be faithfully recorded, greatly reducing the problem of errors and omissions.
The ranking of a hero can be determined by a combination of actual assessment and review of their heroic deeds.
Saitama is considered the 19th beneficiary of this reform policy.
By the way, because of what happened at the House of Evolution, Yunxiao's ranking has risen to 10th in the S-class.
This is only because his achievements are not enough; otherwise, based solely on his abilities, no one would object to him being ranked second.
After all, even the second-ranked S-class warrior, Tornado, has been easily defeated by Cloud.
"Oh?"
Saitama's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "S-rank?"
"Yes!"
Simon nodded and said, "Although I know that with your demonstrated strength of instantly killing a veteran dragon-level monster, ranking you at the bottom of S-rank is a bit of an injustice! But this is the highest ranking we can give you for now!"
"I believe that with your strength, you'll be able to rise through the ranks quickly once you take down a few more powerful monsters!"
"In addition, the base salary for the 17 S-level positions is 1000 million per month. I hope you are satisfied."
Knowing that Saitama had a tough past and was struggling financially, Simon thoughtfully added that sentence.
In fact, most other heroes, even those at the B-tier, are not short of money, and even some outstanding C-tier heroes are not short of money.
Saitama is the only oddball.
It's strange, really. If it weren't for the detailed intelligence provided by Yunxiao through the new satellite monitoring system, they wouldn't have known they'd missed so many of Saitama's heroic deeds.
That's the strange thing.
They also received technical support from Yunxiao for the same monitoring system, sharing the satellite monitoring network.
He never made mistakes with other heroes, but strangely, he kept making mistakes with Saitama.
It's as if bystanders might unconsciously make mistakes during the review process.
It's absolutely bizarre!
It seems even God doesn't want him to stand out.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Saitama's eyes instantly lit up with greed, and he almost drooled: "A monthly base salary of 1000 million? I'm going to be rich! Hahaha!"
"From now on, I won't just be buying discounted vegetables! I can afford to buy top-quality beef too! Hahaha!!"
Fortunately, the office was well soundproofed, and only Yunxiao and Simon were there. Otherwise, if Saitama were seen like this, he would be laughed at to death!
"what?"
After laughing for a while, Saitama suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What is my hero name?"
"Uh"
Upon hearing this, Simon suppressed a laugh and said, "At first, someone suggested naming him Bald Cape Man based on your characteristics!"
"Pfft!!"
Yunxiao, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, collapsing onto the table.
"Hahaha!"
Saitama still hasn't completely shaken off this name.
It was brought up by someone anyway!
He really wants to meet this nominated talent!
They're absolutely a naming genius!
Minato Namikaze is no match for you!
"what?"
Saitama interrupted Simon, veins bulging on his forehead, and said, "What kind of name is that? Could it be any worse? And what's wrong with you guys? Do you have a problem with baldness?"
If he were to be called that, wouldn't he have any pride left?
Moreover, he estimated that Yunxiao and the others would laugh at him for a whole year.
"Ah ha ha!"
Simon, sweating profusely, chuckled and said, "That's true! The name was too hasty! That's why we rejected it."
"After careful consideration, we have decided to name you One-Punch Man!"
"After all, it seems you only need one punch to kill every monster, regardless of how strong they are! What do you think?"
This name was something everyone racked their brains to come up with.
