"Excuse me, is there anyone else here? Does the company only use robots to receive guests?"
Saitama, wearing a tracksuit, came to Future Capsule Company and was led by a robot to the reception area, where he was served a cup of tea. After taking the tea, Saitama politely said to the robot, "Thank you."
The reception robot answered Saitama's question: "For general hero cooperation, you only need to understand the exchange prices and exchange process. After signing the contract, that's it. Only for a small number of hero groups or powerful heroes who can bring many monsters to the company will the boss receive them personally."
"I see..."
Saitama nodded in sudden understanding. He was just a solo hero, a hero for fun, probably not comparable to those famous heroes.
"So, Mr. Saitama, please wait a moment. The boss will be here shortly."
Hearing this, Saitama was a bit surprised and pointed at himself in disbelief: "Your boss is coming to receive me?" It seemed his heroic deeds had spread, even this company in City A knew about his exploits.
Saitama had started exterminating monsters only in the last year. Before that, he had been exercising at home using his savings. But recently, his savings were dwindling. While browsing the web, he suddenly came across an advertisement for Future Capsule Company.
They could回收 monster corpses, and you only needed to carry a capsule with you. Such a good thing was very tempting to Saitama. He could just put the monster's corpse into the capsule after killing it and get some money.
Saitama felt he wouldn't have to waste time looking for discounted vegetables in the future. Although he hadn't brought any monster corpses this time, he thought he could treat himself to a nice cabbage hotpot with some beef when he got back.
"Yes, Mr. Saitama."
After answering, the reception robot brought Saitama a plate of fruit. Saitama didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up a banana to eat.
Before long, Hyuga Mirai walked out of the lab. As soon as he entered the room, he was momentarily blinded by a flash of light, then saw the standard bald head.
"Mr. Saitama, hello. I'm Hyuga Mirai, the owner of this company."
Saitama returned the greeting: "Hello. When I first saw the robot receptionist, I thought the company was all robots. Um, I saw the advertisement about recycling monster corpses."
"Yes, here is our company's monster recycling manual and agreement. You can take a look first. If you find no issues, just sign the contract."
After handing the manual and contract to Saitama, Hyuga Mirai asked, "Mr. Saitama, I see you don't seem to be a professional hero. Haven't you registered as an active hero with the Hero Association?"
"Active hero? What's that?"
Saitama asked while looking through the manual. He rarely browsed the internet for other things, usually just watching TV dramas or news related to monsters. The reason he knew about Future Capsule Company was because its advertisements popped up automatically.
"You can search for it when you get back. Simply put, it's professionalizing heroes. You get paid, you gain fame, but you have to listen to the Hero Association."
Hyuga Mirai said with a smile: "Because you're not very famous, Mr. Saitama. But I happen to know about your monster extermination experiences. It's just that your achievements seem to have been credited to other people by the Hero Association."
Saitama said indifferently, "That doesn't matter. I don't really care. But the Hero Association you mentioned sounds like too much trouble. I think I'll pass."
Hyuga Mirai said, "There are actually benefits. For example, you can get immediate information about monster appearances, and there are also perks for aftermath handling. But Mr. Saitama, if you're interested in getting monster appearance information, I can help you with that too."
"How can you help?"
By then, Saitama had finished reading the monster recycling manual and the contract. The terms were very simple and easy to understand, and Saitama had been an office worker before. After reading, he felt there were no problems and quickly signed his name on the contract.
Seeing this, Hyuga Mirai smiled and gave him a box containing a spatial capsule. Then he said, "Our company can also detect specific information about monster appearances. If you need it, you can take a communicator. That way, you'll receive notifications when monsters appear. You can also set a range, such as the monster's location or disaster level."
Saitama asked with some interest, "Can you really do that? That would be a big help. Several times I saw news about monsters on TV, but by the time I got to the location, the monster had already been dealt with. I made the trip for nothing."
"Of course. The more monsters you recycle, the more my company earns."
Then, with a thought, Hyuga Mirai suggested, "How about a physical examination? Based on your strength, we can actively filter out some monsters for you. If a monster is too strong, we won't notify you."
"Don't do that! The stronger the monster, the more motivation there is for a challenge!"
Saitama quickly refused. He had little interest in anything else now. Only fighting very strong monsters could spark some excitement in him.
"But monsters above Demon-level are very dangerous, Mr. Saitama. If you encounter one, you should get a check-up. If your physical fitness is very strong, I'll raise the warning threshold for monsters."
After luring Saitama into the research lab, Hyuga Mirai conducted a series of physical tests on him. Measurements like height, weight, strength, speed, and reaction time were secondary data. What Hyuga Mirai valued most was Saitama's blood. He had thought drawing blood would be very difficult because Saitama was already bald.
Logically, even lasers would have difficulty cutting Saitama's skin. However, Hyuga Mirai used a slightly stronger needle and easily pierced Saitama's skin, drawing a little blood. Saitama's face showed a resistant expression, as if he was very afraid of needles.
After obtaining the blood sample, Hyuga Mirai also took the opportunity to get some tissue. Although Saitama found it strange, after it was over, Hyuga Mirai gave him a monster alert watch and a large gift box of beef, which made Saitama's face fill with a smile.
This watch was connected to satellite communications and the Hero Association's internal network, possibly detecting monsters even faster than the Hero Association.
After receiving the capsule and the monster alert watch, Saitama returned to Z City satisfied. Apart from the strange physical exam, he felt he had gained a lot today.
"What a strange physique. Ordinary human genes, yet so 'solid,' with no possibility of mutation whatsoever."
After carefully examining Saitama's cellular genes, Hyuga Mirai found the root of his otherworldly strength.
Such powerful cells and genes seemed to come from a higher dimension. Hyuga Mirai used many monster cells and genes but could not induce mutation or重组 in Saitama's genes.
It was like the hardest metal that simply couldn't be smelted together with other scrap metal.
For ordinary people to break their limits, ninety-nine percent would become monsters, with their genes and cells mutating. But a small number could become stronger without mutating, yet this strengthening had an upper limit. So their strength would stop increasing after reaching a certain point, unless they mutated their genes and cells to break through their original racial limits.
But Saitama's genes and cells kept getting stronger, breaking through the body's own limits several times to achieve his current strength.
He had probably developed mental powers as well. Otherwise, in several battles, Saitama faced temperatures that could melt steel, yet his clothes only got a hole.
And when he fought Boros and was punched to the moon, Saitama's reaction was first to look around, then cover his nose when he realized he was in space. He could actually breathe, but long-held knowledge told him he couldn't breathe in space, so he covered his mouth and nose.
Similarly, with his clothes, Saitama probably didn't want to be naked, so no matter how strong the attack, it couldn't destroy his clothes, unless the attacker had strength comparable to his.
"Although very powerful, it's of little research value."
Hyuga Mirai then sealed Saitama's cell genes. He had tried various methods but couldn't change Saitama's cell genes. If he had the six Infinity Stones, he could try, but for now, he'd forget it.
His own body was similar, but with one difference: Hyuga Mirai's physical strength had an upper limit.
"Mr. Hyuga."
Fubuki led her team members to Hyuga Mirai's company. The Fubuki Group had truly upgraded their equipment. At Hyuga Mirai's place, their performance ranked first, far surpassing the Tanktop Army.
In a few months, they had delivered ten Tiger-level monsters and over thirty Wolf-level monsters, transferring over one hundred million yen from Hyuga Mirai.
Now, the Fubuki Group had not only exchanged for an expensive car, but Fubuki also had several pieces of expensive jewelry, and her fluffy coat had been replaced with a名牌 one. Moreover, Hyuga Mirai noticed that even other members of the Fubuki Group had changed into new suits.
With a smile on her pretty face, Fubuki asked, "I heard your company plans to sell spatial capsules, so I wanted to ask if you have one that can fit my new car."
Hyuga Mirai thought for a moment and said, "There is, but such a portable parking lot is too troublesome. I think directly combining the spatial capsule with the car would be more convenient."
After speaking, Hyuga Mirai showed Fubuki the precise usage of spatial capsules: capsule cars, capsule villas, etc. These神奇, popular, and convenient technological achievements immediately captivated Fubuki.
"Mr. Hyuga."
Hyuga Mirai prompted, "The prices are on the back."
When Fubuki turned to the back and saw the prices for the different types of spatial capsules, she immediately covered her mouth. They were too expensive. The Fubuki Group's hard work for months would only buy one capsule car. As for the capsule villa, the Fubuki Group would probably need to hunt one or two Demon-level monsters to have a chance.
"We... need to think about it."
Fubuki left somewhat embarrassedly with her team members. She had come full of excitement, but then had to leave due to lack of money. At these prices, not even her sister Tatsumaki could afford the largest capsule villa.
After seeing Fubuki off, Hyuga Mirai went to the lab. Besides research, he had been exploring this world.
He had studied monsters enough. Now he was also creating monsters, the strongest monsters. Since he knew the secret to Saitama's strength and monsterification, he itched to try it out.
However, while pursuing the power of monsters, Hyuga Mirai still had some追求 for aesthetics. At least the Orochi created by Psykos was not valued by Hyuga Mirai. Constantly pursuing racial突破 to gain power was not fundamentally becoming stronger.
If Dr. Genus had Psykos's resources, he could also create Orochi. But Genus was also pursuing perfect humans. Hyuga Mirai had been influenced by him quite a bit at the beginning.
He planned to follow Saitama's method of becoming stronger when creating monsters, changing the species race at most once. Anything more would be a failed product.
The abilities granted by God were also interesting. This was one of the few abilities Hyuga Mirai was interested in.
Perhaps the Monster Association had already developed, but had not yet revealed itself, hiding underground in Z City. There was also an ancient altar related to the 'God' monster there. Hyuga Mirai was quite interested in that.
As for the Chakra God Tree on him, as long as he didn't plant God Trees, it wouldn't expand for the time being.
But if Hyuga Mirai wanted to recover his power, he would need other methods. So he turned his attention to the 'God' monster. Saitama's power had no possibility of being replicated.
Once he recovered his power and摆脱 the chakra system, Hyuga Mirai might even be able to go back.
Marvel Universe.
The atmosphere in Hyuga Mirai's home was very tense now, because the news of Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto's pregnancies could no longer be hidden. Hyuga Mirai hadn't escaped either. He had returned home only to see Mikoto and Kushina sitting on the sofa with big bellies.
On the side were Tsunade with cold, beautiful eyes, Kiyo Hyuga silent and expressionless, Ayaka Uzumaki with puffed cheeks, and Kurenai Yuhi smiling slyly.
At this point, Hyuga Mirai couldn't run anymore. He could only chuckle and admit his fault. But apart from Kushina, Mikoto, and Ayaka, the other three were very angry, especially Tsunade and Kiyo Hyuga. Although Kurenai was also angry, her anger was short-lived, and she was the second easiest to appease.
Finally, after spending a long time and putting aside almost everything, Hyuga Mirai managed to calm the women's anger.
However, Kushina hadn't yet told Naruto that he was about to have a little brother. Although so much time had passed, Kushina still didn't know how to broach the subject with her son.
Mikoto was the same. She planned to slowly tell Sasuke after the child was born. But she was different from Kushina; Sasuke had already noticed and seemed somewhat encouraging.
"After my strength advances further to the point where I can control dimensions, I'll go find the other me."
Looking at the growing number of people in his home, Hyuga Mirai decided to first expand the house. Otherwise, living would be a bit crowded now, unless they agreed to sleep in the same bed.
