Chapter 766 Easter Egg, the Invincible Mosquito

"The crisis in City Z has been resolved. The S-class hero Wusheng played a vital role in this battle. He killed five dragon-class monsters on the surface alone..."

"The citizens questioned the value of S-class heroes. A group of S-class heroes were unable to defeat the monsters, and in the end, it was the S-class rookie Wu Sheng who ended up defeating them..."

"Members of the Congress proposed to cut the government's funding for the Hero Association and called on entrepreneurs to support the government in establishing a new organization to fight against monster disasters..."

"The S-class hero lost control too much, causing large areas of the urban area of Z city to be destroyed. If there is no real S-class hero, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"..."

Lu Li turned off the TV and continued to eat today's Sukiyaki with an expressionless face.

Genos came over with the cut vegetables, wearing a small apron. When he put down the vegetables, he looked at the woman sitting next to Lu Li at the small round table with hostility, "Why don't you leave?"

"Hey, I'm here to report to my master, Genos-kun, don't be so anxious to chase me away~"

The woman sitting next to Lu Li was Sykes, who had now surrendered to Lu Li. She had investigated the House of Evolution in the past few days and came to report to Lu Li today.

Seeing such a pot of Sukiyaki, I shamelessly sat down at the table.

"Leave quickly after you finish eating. Also, don't fight with Teacher Lu Li for the meat."

Genos said in a bad tone, and noticed that Lu Li seemed a little absent-minded. He glanced at the turned-off TV and asked, "Teacher Lu Li, what's wrong? Did this woman make you unhappy?"

Today, three days have passed since the battle in City Z, and society is still discussing this matter, and it seems to be getting more and more intense.

Genos was sent to Dr. Kusno for repair, modification and upgrade. It can be said that every time he is damaged, it is a kind of rebirth. After all, there is a reason to upgrade his whole body.

After completing the renovation, he soon returned to Lu Li and still lived in City Z, but this time Lu Li chose a new apartment and no longer lived in the no-man's land (the no-man's land has been destroyed)

"Nothing, I just think reality is sometimes quite abstract."

Lu Li said with emotion.

In just a few days, the support rate of this newly promoted S-class hero reached the highest level in history. His fanatical fans even compiled records of his heroic activities that he himself had not participated in. Lu Li also saw his own biography on the online encyclopedia.

What a fucking biography. He’s not even from this world, he just dropped in from nowhere, yet the biography records everything from kindergarten to college in great detail.

Because of his high support rate among the masses, and because he had indeed made great contributions in the battle against the Z City Monster Association, other heroes also gave confessions or written reports, indicating that Lu Li had killed at least 15 dragon-level monsters and above, and an uncountable number of demon-level monsters.

It can be said that this battle was basically fought by Lu Li alone, and the other heroes just followed him down the cave.

To their shame, their only contribution was to cause the collapse of the no-man's land in City Z, which resulted in certain economic losses. During the meeting, many heroes were scolded by Sweetheart Mask for this. This time, they were angry but could not talk back.

After all, judging from the results, if Lu Li was the only one going down at the beginning, the Monster Association might have been killed by Lu Li without even saying a word.

This is what Sweet Mask calls an efficient and perfect heroic activity.

With various conditions combined, Lu Li's ranking in the Hero Association was updated, and he became the second-ranked S-class hero. This was because the top leaders of the Hero Association knew something about Blast's movements, and Blast's historical achievements as a hero were indelible, so they kept him in the first place.

Even so, there are still many fanatical fans among the public who think that the long-missing Explosion is no longer suitable to be ranked first and should "step down and let others take over."

Not only that, after the Z City Monster Association incident, many people began to criticize and doubt the level of S-class heroes.

After all, ordinary people don’t understand the difference in combat power. They just think that S-class heroes should be able to defeat monsters, and shouldn’t be so embarrassed and out of control.

Some people with complicated backgrounds have made comments online, saying that the battle records of S-class heroes might be fake, and that the Hero Association has brushed up their records by giving inflated ratings to monsters, and that they are some kind of traffic heroes that have been pushed to the forefront and have no real talent.

Some people also say that there is corruption within the Hero Association, and that taxpayers' money (referring to the government's investment) and investors' money may have been embezzled by internal executives and not really used to fight monsters.

In short, although there were no civilian casualties in the incident in City Z, it has caused many people to be afraid. After all, the so-called Dragon-level monsters have the ability to destroy a city or even several cities alone.

A dozen dragon-level monsters are said to destroy all cities within one day, but that is too short.

"Teacher, do you think the public is too fence-sitting?"

Genos was smart. He glanced at the turned-off TV and seemed to understand something.

"Although the abilities of S-class heroes do vary, and they all have their own personal motives for being heroes, and they may also be vain, it is of course true that they perform heroic activities and protect many people."

Lu Li took a bite of the Wagyu beef in the pot, which was brought by Fubuki last time. It tasted really good.

Sykes picked up the chopsticks and seemed to want to pick up a piece of high-quality Wagyu beef, but she remembered what Genos said and was afraid of being punished by her master, so she picked up a piece of tofu in disappointment.

Genos didn't eat the hotpot at all. He just analyzed Lu Li's words: "Most people are ignorant and easily follow the crowd. No one will mention this matter after a while. After all, there are many people who have been saved by S-class heroes. They will remember their kindness."

"Genos, you are also on the list of people being criticized. What do you think?"

Lu Li asked with a smile. Genos was the worst performing S-class hero in this battle, even worse than Sweet Mask.

Sweet Mask was restrained by the Ugly President, but he also held on for a long time, while Genos was beaten to pieces right from the start. If it weren't for Lu Li's soul secretly protecting him, Genos wouldn't even have his head left.

Genos's battle scene on the ground was also filmed. Some comments on the Internet were not very friendly to Genos, such as "it turns out that he just has a good-looking face" and "just use this mechanical technology to make a bunch of pure robots, which will be better than him after mass production."

"This is just because I am not capable enough and I failed to defeat the monster. So my training is not enough and I still need more guidance from the teacher."

There was no anger on Genos' face, and he spoke very sincerely.

"You saved a lot of people before you became a hero, don't you feel disappointed?"

Lu Li asked curiously.

Genos hesitated for a few seconds. "Of course I would be unhappy if someone said that. After all, although I am a cyborg, I am still a human being. But didn't you ask me before what a true hero is? I have thought about this question for a long time..."

Genos paused for a moment and continued, "I think a true hero is someone who doesn't care about what the outside world thinks and does good things based on his own heart, regardless of his own ability. Even if he can't defeat a monster, if he buys a second, he may be able to save some people. This is a true hero."

"So, I am a hero only because I want to be a hero. Whether the people I saved are grateful to me or secretly criticize me, that is their business. I only hope that I can have a clear conscience. This is the practice I am doing now."

After Genos finished speaking, Lu Li showed a satisfied smile on his face, nodded, and pointed at Genos' chest, "It seems that you have indeed become stronger here." Lu Li put the last piece of meat into his mouth, stood up and stretched, "My master once said that the world judges that prosperity and glory are just passing clouds. Warriors cultivate their minds and themselves, so as not to be happy with things or sad with themselves, and only then can they achieve the state of unity between man and nature. It's just that I was young and frivolous, and I haven't seen through it yet."

"The Grandmaster is a great man."

Genos praised. As for Lu Li saying that he couldn't see through it, it was not easy for him as a disciple to judge. It might also be that the teacher was being modest.

Lu Li seemed to have seen through Genos's thoughts, and shook his head and smiled, "If what you just said is really what you think in your heart, then you are actually better than me in this aspect. I am actually a very face-conscious person. Genos, it's time to teach you something."

Genos perked up when he heard that, and said, "Please teach me, Mr. Lu Li."

"You are not a martial arts expert, so I can't teach you any skills. I can only start with external objects to strengthen your body. As for the journey of cultivating your mind, it depends on you."

Lu Li smiled and said, "But in my opinion, you are already a qualified hero."

buzzing-

When he was about to use runes to strengthen Genos's modified body, a mosquito came in from the side and kept buzzing, making people feel annoyed.

Snapped--

Lu Li swatted it, but to his shock, he missed the mosquito.

This made Lu Li extremely curious. What was his strength?
In the early and middle stages of the seventh level, he had mastered martial arts, was able to use soul consciousness skillfully, and had maxed out various perception bonuses such as observation and hearing. But he actually missed when trying to hit a mosquito?

Out of curiosity, Lu Li used an electric current to shock the mosquito. As a result, the mosquito seemed to be able to sense it in advance and moved at an extremely fast speed.

buzzing-

The annoying voice sounded again, making Lu Li a little puzzled.

So he used his reconnaissance skills to take a look at the mosquito.

【mosquito】

Physical fitness: Insignificant

Strength: Negligible

Agility: Negligible

Spirit: Incalculable

Charisma: 2 points

Lucky:? ? ?
Unique Skill: Void
Skill effect: Can be immune to any attack from a strong person with basic attributes above level seven, and can dodge or offset with all kinds of incredible power.

When Lu Li saw this skill, he was stunned and thought, how could there be such a mosquito? Isn't this pure nonsense?

The stronger the person, the harder it is to beat him? Could this be the "easter egg" of this world?
But the fact that Mosquito possessed such a trait also aroused his strong interest. He thought that this special skill was amazing. If he could extract it, wouldn’t he be invincible?

"Sykes, catch this mosquito for me, alive."

Lu Li instructed that the reason why Genos was not allowed to come was because he was afraid that Genos would make a big noise.

Although Sykes was confused as to why Lu Li asked her to take action after failing to swat the mosquito repeatedly, she did not dare to disobey Lu Li's order and used her superpowers to freeze the mosquito without thinking.

Seeing that the mosquito had been fixed, Lu Li took an empty mineral water bottle from the side and wanted to put the mosquito in it.

But a magical thing happened again. The moment he put the bottle on the mosquito, the mosquito disappeared from the bottle and appeared outside the bottle.

What the hell!

Is this possible? So even I can't catch it?
Lu Li realized that the mosquito's skills were too amazing and he might not be able to do anything to it, so he handed the bottle to Genos and said, "Put it up."

Genos was a little confused, but he did as he was told. This time there was nothing unusual, so he just put the mosquito away and handed it to Lu Li.

Lu Li took over carefully, and to his relief, the mosquito did not disappear this time, because it was not him who caught the mosquito, and he did not attack the mosquito.

The moment he held the bottle in his hand, Lu Li heard the prompt from the End Space.

[Dear Pioneer, you have triggered the Easter egg of this world and obtained a special item: 1 mosquito-repellent]

Lu Li discovered that the mosquito had now become a usable prop. Since it was an Easter egg reward that he had never encountered before and it was given by the space, this thing did not need to be certified and directly belonged to him.

He checked the details of the prop and found that the level of this mosquito as a prop was a string of question marks. He didn't know whether the level was too high or too special to be rated.

But the scope of effect is clearly stated. By using this mosquito, you can gain a 10-second skill of aversion when facing an opponent who is one major rank higher than yourself. In simple terms, it is as unreasonable and invincible as the mosquito just now.

This is a god-level life-saving item, and Lu Li got it for free, so he was very happy.

But when he told Sosuke about it, Sosuke seemed to be in a bad mood. Not only did he not congratulate himself on getting such a good Easter egg, but he reminded himself to be careful.

It was just that Sosuke seemed to have encountered something, so he hung up without talking to Lu Li in detail.

Because of Sosuke's strange attitude, Lu Li's excitement faded away. But at this time, he heard the buzzing sound of mosquitoes again, which made him a little annoyed.

"It's not over yet, is it?"

Lu Li stood up in dissatisfaction, but when he came to his senses, he found that the mosquito was not in the house. It turned out that his natural perception extended too far and he heard the sound in the distance.

At this time, Sykes turned on the TV, which seemed to be reporting the incident. "A large number of mosquitoes have emerged near City Z. It is said that the livestock of nearby farmers have been attacked by mosquitoes. Citizens are requested to reduce going out today to avoid mosquito bites."

After seeing the message, Sykes looked at Lu Li and said, "Master, this is what I want to report to you this time."
