Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 187 One year later.

"After you fight with Aoko, Akemi and Shiho, I can give you a new sword and potion. When you adapt to the new weapons and strength, there will be two more sparring partners next time.

After completing the next sparring, you will be qualified for the genetic modification operation. But after completing the genetic modification, you need to join the Hero Association. My requirements are not high. How about two years of service?" Li De asked Sonic.

"Just two years?" Sonic confirmed to Li De.

"Just two years, if you want to stay after two years, I welcome you, and if you want to leave, I will send you off." Li De nodded and replied.

"Okay! But I have a request." Sonic nodded.

After all, the entire super continent knows one thing at present, that is, the heroes of the Hero Association have nothing to do except the duty of defeating monsters, and all their time is at their own disposal.

Of course, those who want to make more money must use the association to explore their own commercial value, which will definitely waste some personal time.

But this is a personal wish and is not mandatory.

But in general, the degree of freedom has been greatly improved compared to before.

After all, before, C-class heroes had to carry out hero activities every week, and heroes above B-class had to take on patrol duties.

But now these duties are gone, and the hero's duty is only one, that is, to defeat monster disasters.

Of course, investigations involving monsters are still inevitable, but the association has additional task bonuses as compensation for this.

In addition, unlike before, the association does not designate who will complete it, but directly publishes it to the task hall built by Child Emperor.

According to the level that can accept the task, as long as the hero meets the task level, it is a matter of hand speed, whoever is faster will go.

When he was free, Sonic also understood this.

Even Sonic considered whether to join the Hero Association, after all, the current Hero Association is a completely different organization from the original.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Sonic agreed so readily.

"What do you want?" Li De asked Sonic.

"When I join, you must give me information about dragon-level monsters." Sonic said, because he looked down on monsters below the dragon level.

Reed understood the reason for Sonic's request. He just didn't want to be under Flash.

"No problem. I can even ask other S-class and A-class to give you a face." Reed nodded and said with a smile.

"As long as the S-class doesn't interfere, I don't care about the A-class even if they come." Sonic said lightly.

After all, he is confident that when he joins the Hero Association, his strength will definitely be much stronger than it is now.

Even if he encounters Flash Flash, he will definitely have an absolute advantage.

"Okay, I'll satisfy you. Can we continue now?" Reed asked again. After all, it's not easy to find such an experienced killing expert to practice with.

Of course, if Reed had taken over the task of the Naruto world earlier and could dig people from the Naruto world, he wouldn't have to stick to Sonic at this moment.

"Give me a knife that's handy." Sonic's eyes turned cold and he said to Reed.

"No problem!" Reed smiled and said.

After Sonic got a new knife of the same weight, the battle resumed.

This time it was Nakamori Aoko's turn.

And Nakamori Aoko did not disappoint Li De. Although she was a little slower than Mao Li Ran, she kicked Sonic out of the rush in the fifth second.

However, the two sisters Miyano Akemi and Miyano Shiho behind were far inferior to Mao Li Ran and Nakamori Aoko.

Even if they were equipped with the Flowing Rock Crushing Fist and the Whirlwind Iron Slash Fist, they still could not defeat Sonic in a short time.

Of course, Li De's requirements for these two women were not that high.

The reason why the sisters appeared in the training ground was that Li De deliberately asked them to do so.

Li De's requirement for them was that they must not have strength without matching combat experience.

Even if they were positioned as researchers, Li De believed that their combat skills could be unsophisticated, but they must not be easily defeated when they were attacked.

It's okay if they can't beat them. As long as they are not killed instantly, they can delay time and successfully hold on until rescue arrives.

This is the meaning of their sister training.

Therefore, no matter how much time the two sisters spent with Sonic, Li De didn't care.

It was not until the battle with the two sisters that Sonic's frustrated heart finally regained some confidence.

In fact, it is not Sonic's fault that he was hit. Mao Lilan and Nakamori Aoko are the destined girls with the template of the heroine. It is natural that they are talented.

And judging from Li De's huge amount of film watching, there are not many female supporting roles who can suppress the heroine in terms of talent.

Miyano Shiho can indeed surpass Mao Lilan and Nakamori Aoko in some aspects, but unfortunately, this talent has nothing to do with fighting.

And Miyano Akemi is just an ordinary person, so when the Miyano sisters first fought Sonic, they were naturally taught a lesson.

That is, the weapons provided by Li De were very ordinary. If they were replaced with weapons made of mithril, the two sisters might really be dismembered.

Although they can't die, it is definitely not a memory worth keeping.

Fortunately, Li De took all these into consideration, so the Miyano sisters did not lose face.

Of course, no matter how much time it took, Li De's goal of training the two sisters was indeed achieved.

After everything was on track, a year passed quickly.

And a lot of things happened in the past year.

First of all, the scale of the Hero Association has skyrocketed unprecedentedly. The number of S-class heroes has increased from the original two to the current nine. The seven newly added people are Tornado, who is currently ranked first in performance, Sonic, who is ranked third, Metal Storm, who is ranked fourth, Super Alloy Black Light, who is ranked fifth, Kamikaze, who is ranked sixth, Pig God, who is ranked seventh, and Dogman, who is ranked eighth.

Together with Claire, who is now ranked second, and Blast, who is ranked last, they have formed a new S-class hero sequence that is now without any water and can fight against the Dragon-level monster disaster.

Even the S-class has increased by seven people, and the A-class has naturally increased by more, a full 20 people.

Of course, this does not mean that there have been only 20 demon-level monster disasters in the entire supercontinent in the past year, but that there are 20 people who have been upgraded through the demon-level monster disaster.

In fact, there have been 28 demon-level monster disasters, and the remaining 8 were solved by the original A-level heroes.

Currently, the top three A-level heroes are Bang, Hiruzen, and Bang.

In addition to the A-level heroes, there are more people promoted to the B-level, not to mention the C-level heroes, which currently have more than 300 people.     Currently, except for the number of S-level and A-level heroes, the number of B-level and C-level heroes has exceeded that before the system was changed a year ago.

And unlike that time, the heroes now have no water at all.

In addition to the development of the association, the gene modification project in Miyano Shiho's hands has also achieved remarkable results. Although clinical surgery has not been carried out yet, it has entered the stage of screening the first batch of personnel.

However, there are not many genes that can be modified and added at present. After all, the main purpose of Miyano Shiho's research on this project is to help his own people strengthen their bloodline, rather than to enhance the overall strength of the Hero Association, so the research direction is quite biased.

But with the help of Child Emperor, Miyano Shiho also took into account the modification of ordinary people's genes, but he was not so concerned.

Of course, even if Shiho Miyano wanted to pay attention, it was impossible, because after research, it was found that the genes of ordinary people could not withstand too many gene replacements, even with the intervention of healing ability.

Moreover, it was impossible to use the genes of powerful monsters, but only the genes of ordinary creatures, because the mutated monster genes were much stronger than ordinary genes, and forced replacement could easily cause the collapse of the gene chain.

Child Emperor was very regretful for getting this result.

After all, the genes of ordinary creatures were much worse than those of monsters.

Apart from other things, through testing, the power difference between the giant rhinoceros beetle obtained a year ago and the ordinary rhinoceros beetle was as high as 650 times.

In other words, the rhinoceros beetle could lift objects 1,500 times its own weight.

This is such an exaggerated data.

However, the monster genes that ordinary people cannot use do not mean that Li De and others cannot use them.

Don't think that the monster genes are extraordinary bloodlines just because they are powerful, but in fact they are not.

Shiho Miyano has focused on this point and knows very well that the reason why the genes of these monsters or monster insects are so powerful is mainly related to the special rules of this world.

Strictly speaking, these genes are the mutation products of the monster transformation, and can only be regarded as mutant genes.

And they are not extraordinary, so they are within the scope of use.

As long as Shiho Miyano has the results, the transformation surgery can be put on the agenda.

But before that, Li De and others still need to wait.

In the internal hospital of the Hero Association of City A, Li De was sitting in the office listening to the report of Spring Beard on the other end of the video.

"To sum up the above, I think Justice's physical potential has been developed to the limit. Even if he uses the skills of Qi to the extreme in the future, I am afraid that he can only reach the end of Class A at most."

After listening to the report of Spring Beard, Li De couldn't help but sigh secretly. The unlicensed knight is the Justice Knight in the mouth of Spring Beard at this moment. Li De knows that his talent is not good.

After all, whether it is martial arts or kendo, Li De has sent someone to teach him.

But unfortunately, he really doesn't have much talent in combat.

As for the body of the Justice Knight, Li De used the Flame Tiger Potion on him and also gave him a portion of the Dragon Blood Potion.

But even so, he can only barely reach the so-called end of Class A in the mouth of Spring Beard.

Li De knew that Spring Beard said this because he didn't want Li De to be too disappointed. Therefore, the current strength of the Justice Knight is actually only at the B level, which means that it is no problem to fight tiger-level monsters.

But it doesn't mean that there is no hope to fight above the level, but it must have the extraordinary equipment provided by Li De.

Relying only on its own strength, the Justice Knight currently only has the combat power to eliminate the tiger-level monster disaster.

And even the ghost-level monsters can't be defeated, let alone the unreachable dragon-level monsters.

"I know, then let's do more heroic activities according to his own wishes." Li De nodded.

"I understand, President!" Spring Beard nodded and replied.

"Okay, you go and get busy!" Li De immediately waved his hand.

"I understand, then please forgive me for being rude." Spring Beard said and hung up the video call.

After Spring Beard hung up the phone, Li De immediately said, "I want to talk to Dr. Miyano."

Under normal circumstances, Li De would not use the contract to pass messages unless there was something particularly urgent.

"Received the order, connecting!" The intelligent voice replied immediately.

In less than two seconds, a virtual screen appeared in front of Li De. At this moment, Shiho Miyano was working on the other side of the screen.

However, when the virtual screen appeared, Shiho Miyano immediately looked up at Li De.

"Shiho, how is the preparation for the genetic modification of the Knight of Justice going?" Li De immediately asked.

"President, with the computing power of the supercomputer, the best results can be obtained tonight, and then the final genetic modification surgery can be carried out." Shiho Miyano replied lightly.

"Tonight, not bad." Li De nodded after hearing this. After all, he has been here for more than a year. Seeing that the plot will start in more than half a year, Li De also feels a sense of urgency.

After all, he doesn't want to wait until the earth is really going to end and still be unable to leave.

Therefore, he needed the Knight of Justice to have dragon-level combat power and become an S-level hero before then, and finish the task first.

"Just." Shiho Miyano said immediately.

"Go ahead." Li De gestured to Shiho Miyano to continue.

"The Knight of Justice alone occupies most of the computing power of the supercomputer, and you know there are still many people waiting in line behind." Shiho Miyano said this on the surface.

But in fact, he conveyed other information to Li De through the contract.

"Master, according to my research, as long as the gene modification surgery does not involve extraordinary genes, the stability of the gene chain will not be affected by the number of times, so the replacement surgery can be performed at any time.

In addition, the sisters in the main world may also need to come here. Without their gene samples, it is impossible to complete the debugging for them. There are supercomputer modeling analysis here, which saves much time and effort."

"How many more supercomputers do you need to add?" Li De asked Shiho Miyano directly.

"At least three!" Shiho Miyano replied.

"Approved, you can place an order directly with the relevant company." Li De replied immediately.

But what was actually conveyed through the contract was: "I understand. I will ask Victoria to return to the main world and call everyone over. This will also allow them to learn about the technologically advanced modern world and broaden their horizons."
