Chapter 222 Compassionate Voyage VS Urban
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household.
When Chen Feng actually took over the Hero Agency, he realized that villains don't need to know where they are or who they are; they just need to go on a killing spree. But heroes have a lot more to consider.
For example, this Starry Sky Agency branch in District 13 has more than 500 employees and more than a dozen departments.
"They're paying out nearly a million in salaries every month?"
Looking at the financial statements, Chen Feng was stunned. He knew that the head of the Fly Gang leader was only worth 30.
Three heads a month?
Chen Feng slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Call the manager here! Call the manager here!"
With a creak.
The conference room door opened.
Wearing a pair of pure white leather shoes and a stylish T-shirt, the middle-aged man in front of me, with gold-rimmed glasses and a dark brown slicked-back hairstyle, is none other than Rod, the financial manager of Starry Sky Agency: "Hello, President, new President, I'm Rod. If you have any issues related to taking the blame or going to jail, just come to me."
This guy has a good sense of humor.
Chen Feng beckoned Xiao Luo over: "I want to ask you a question. Does our branch have five hundred heroes?"
Xiao Luo shook his head and said, "Of course not."
Chen Feng asked curiously, "So how many heroes do we have?"
Xiao Luo glanced at the light in the sky and reluctantly raised his index finger.
Chen Feng flew into a rage: "A division of five hundred people, and only one hundred of them are heroes?"
Xiao Luo coughed and corrected, "No, not a hundred."
Chen Feng was dumbfounded: "Only ten?"
Xiao Luo pointed to the light in the sky: "One."
One?
Chen Feng plopped down on the conference room sofa, looked at the Light of the Sky, and said, "You mean, in the entire Starry Sky Agency, you're the only hero?"
The Light of the Sky said, "It's alright, I'm not tired."
You're like a nuclear-powered donkey, you're not tired.
Chen Feng originally wanted to complain like this, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the other party was a star that had become a spirit, so it was indeed not tired.
But we can't do it that way.
As the saying goes, a cake shop sells cakes, a bakery sells bread, and if you don't have a hero, why open a hero agency?
Chen Feng couldn't sit still any longer: "Come on, show me what the remaining 499 people are doing."
"plz follow me."
Led by Xiao Luo, the two went downstairs.
First, there's the data department.
Pointing to the employees who were working diligently and drinking coffee, Xiao Luo said, "These are criminal analysts. They mainly analyze which areas have poor public security and where criminals might appear, and which waterways have experienced pollution leaks and where new mutated heroes might be recruited."
It sounds like there's no problem.
But Chen Feng asked, "If a criminal is discovered, will we take action?"
Xiao Luo laughed and said, "Of course not, the people in District 13 can't afford it."
Chen Feng then asked, "Have we recruited any heroes yet?"
Xiao Luo added, "Of course not. The first thing those people did after mutating was rob banks and kill people. They can't be heroes at all."
Next up is the purchasing department.
Xiao Luo said, "They are responsible for purchasing the items needed by the heroes and the company."
Chen Feng: "But we only have one hero, yet you hired six people to do the purchasing?"
Xiao Luo explained, "The people who need to handle combat equipment, medical supplies, and emergency food are different."
With so many employees, there naturally needs to be an accountant and human resources manager to pay their salaries and recruit them, as well as security guards, cleaners, cooks, and so on.
Rhodes summarized: "Our company has one of the highest overtime rates in the entire firm; everyone is working hard."
"You mean I should reward them?" Chen Feng suddenly erupted in rage, gesturing wildly. "My money! They did absolutely nothing, got a million, and I'm supposed to thank them?"
The Light of the Sky quickly helped Chen Feng up and comforted him, "Don't be angry, don't be angry."
After calming down, Chen Feng immediately said, "Fire everyone except the cleaners and cooks."
Xiao Luo shook his head and said, "That's impossible. They are all full-time employees. If they are dismissed without cause, it would cost a lot of money in compensation."
Chen Feng, with his prodigal son and super-rich system, wasn't worried at all: "Then I'll pay it all."
"If we fire 400 people at once, they will criticize us online. Our firm's reputation will drop, and no one will hire us."
"Grass!"
Chen Feng suddenly realized that playing a villain suited him best.
But since heroes can use the Great Benefactor system, they can't give up.
Chen Feng thought for a moment and decided to give up on saving Shit Mountain Code: "Xiao Luo, go and declare the agency bankrupt now, pay all the money in the account to these parasites for their wages and compensation, and after that, help me register a new hero agency."
"They're insane. They're abandoning the old firm and insisting on starting a new Starry Sky Firm."
After Ronaldinho left.
Chen Feng talked to the Light of the Sky about what happened after he was rescued.
The Light of the Sky told Chen Feng that at the time, she only felt a dizzying sensation, and when she woke up, she had been teleported to District 14.
Because she admired Chen Feng, she decided to become a hero when she grew up.
Of course, in order to avoid being discovered by the company, she has always worn tight-fitting clothes and has never exposed her skin.
There isn't a single good person in the city.
Chen Feng asked with concern, "You must have suffered a lot in society."
The Light of the Sky tossed his hair: "No."
Chen Feng asked in confusion, "District 14 is the Fly Gang's stronghold. Didn't they make a move against you?"
Light of the Sky recalled, "When I first arrived in District 14, the Fly Gang attacked me, but after I killed their second and third leaders, they let me go."
You let them go, didn't you?
When he was seven or eight years old, he could take down most of a gang of flies.
Chen Feng realized: "Xiao Guang, you caused society a lot of suffering back then."
The Light of the Sky suddenly corrected, "Star Ruo."
"What did you say?"
The Light of the Sky asked cautiously, "This is the name I gave myself. Does it sound a bit old-fashioned?"
Even if Chen Feng was completely clueless about dating games, he knew what to say: "Not at all, it's absolutely gorgeous! And, my name is..."
Out of caution.
Chen Feng glanced at the Demon King Escort System subconsciously, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he say, "Chen Feng."
Xingruo happily said, "Feng, let's go get a drink."
That reminds me.
Chen Feng suggested, "I happen to know a bar that might recruit some really powerful heroes, but it's a bit smelly."
"Then let's fly there."
Every time Xingruo lifted him up in a princess carry, Chen Feng would marvel at her stunning figure.
Top-notch modeling, top-notch combat power, quite favorable impression.
Looking down at the cityscape, Chen Feng thought, "My buddy's doing pretty well now."
According to the theory of relativity in Cihang City, things getting better is the same as things going to get worse.
Chen Feng suddenly remembered that there was also an S-class hero, Dark Mask, in the bar.
The Prime Minister said that this guy has gone astray, which proves that he is currently on the enemy side.
I don't know how different Sky Light is from S-rank heroes.
Chen Feng asked, "Xiao Xing, have you ever seen an S-class hero?"
Light of the Sky: "Yesterday, when I was registering for the initial frontline assessment, I met Senior King of Hundred Tons, who is at the S level. He had a steel coil on his head, which was quite interesting."
"What did you say?"
Chen Feng was suddenly startled.
The Light of the Sky was teleported away by Zero before the Hundred-Ton King arrived, so it did not know that the Hundred-Ton King was from Midgly Heavy Industries, nor did it know that it had been recognized by the Hundred-Ton King.
No wonder the Skylight, who far surpasses second-tier heroes, disappeared in District 13.
No wonder so many middlemen received commissions targeting Starry Sky Agency at the same time.
Everything makes sense now.
Chen Feng looked at the light in the sky and said seriously, "We're in big trouble, sis."
Let's go back to the time when Chen Feng had just transmigrated.
Urban District 5.
A muscular, purple-skinned alien said to Yiyangyu, "We only followed you because you said you could rescue the captain, but what are you doing now? Playing on your phone all day?"
Another octopus-headed guy urged, "If you don't act soon, we'll go ourselves."
"Don't rush."
Yi Xiang wanted to put down his phone and looked at the two subordinates of the cosmic overlord.
Dospo, the universe's number one telekinetic master, and Guribagiki, the special forces captain.
Although these two guys aren't as powerful as the cosmic overlord, they are still Red-level monsters of the Bakuda-level, so we can't let them go so easily.
He then explained, "I've been staring at my phone to read the news and gather intelligence. Once I've gathered the intelligence, I will naturally rescue your captain."
The two monsters asked anxiously, "When will it be ready?"
"Now."
They wanted to know that Chen Feng would come, but they didn't know where Chen Feng was.
In a world as vast as the city, finding someone is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
But Chen Feng has a past.
As a native of Cihang City, Opinion Desire has extensive experience dealing with Reborn and Retrograders.
He became even more professional after joining the Bodhisattva camp and gaining resistance to regression.
The last major news before the retrospective was: "A black disaster occurred in District 13: Stairway to Heaven."
Three months ago, the latest trending topic was: "The Orange Disaster: The Blonde Princess Incident Occurs in District 13".
Got you?
He snorted coldly, thinking, "If the second time travel happens again at the Stairway to Heaven, I'll go to District 13 and find Chen Feng to block the door."
Now, he has more important things to do.
Before the rewind, Opinion Desire had been paying attention to a very interesting matter, namely the leak incident. A day later, a core researcher from Midgley Heavy Industries stole a copy of World Technology from the company headquarters and fled to District 5. Although he hid for three days, he was still caught.
But if they spend those three days hiding, and find that key employee, wouldn't they be able to steal the secrets of this world?
"It's not skillful to use your own abilities; it's about outsmarting your enemy."
So, one day later.
Yi Jian, along with two strange men, headed towards the place where the core researcher was hiding, as he remembered.
It was a secret warehouse belonging to a heavy machinery industry.
With a single thought, the telekinetic master Dospo crushed the heads of everyone around the warehouse.
Immediately afterwards, Special Forces Captain Gulibagiki killed the third-line hero guarding the goal with a single punch.
"These two are really useful."
The desire for opinions is already planned to fully exploit the value of the two individuals.
Anyway, these two weirdos didn't join the embrace of Cihang Bodhisattva, so even if they died, they could be resurrected as long as Chen Feng could rewind time.
Upon entering the warehouse, Yijian quickly found a box and the body of a researcher in a white coat.
The news was right, the guy who ran away is indeed here.
Just as Yi Jian was about to open the box and examine the core secrets of this universe, a spatial sealing force field unfolded around the warehouse in the next second.
This is a trap!
This is a fishing trap that our Cihang City often uses to deal with resurrected individuals!
Before Yixiang could even react to what was happening, he and the telekinetic master had already been cut into pieces the size of molecules.
What a quick knife!
As a combatant, the special forces captain frequently trained his body, making him the only one who withstood all the slashes.
However, judging from the purple blood gushing from his body, he was also seriously injured.
"come out!"
"Stop sneaking around!"
With a heavy metallic roar, a humanoid tank three meters tall appeared.
His entire body was made of black alloy, with a mantis knife mechanical prosthetic arm shining in his left hand and a chainsaw mechanical prosthetic arm hanging on his right. A pair of bright red bionic eyes were scanning the special forces captain: "Physical strength, red-level, estimated kill time, eleven seconds."
"implement."
Without any wasted words, the humanoid tank instantly charged towards the special forces captain. Its speed was so fast that even a special forces captain of the Explosive Continent level couldn't react in time.
And just then...
跪！
A terrifying, massive gravitational wave descended from the sky, freezing the humanoid tank in place and instantly crushing more than 30 million people in the Fifth District into a pool of blood.
The first lesson of compassion: resurrection!
The flesh-and-blood creature seemed to say, "You don't actually think you killed me, do you? A!"
That's right, the one who ambushed the three in the warehouse was none other than the famous corporate dog, the fourth-ranked S-class hero, and the strongest cyborg in the city—the infamous A.
According to the Heroes Monthly magazine.
Young A was once a famous legendary star in the city, but later he was betrayed, his brain was injured, and he was on his deathbed. In order to survive, A sought refuge with the company.
Seeing his exceptional talent, Midgley Heavy Industries uploaded A's consciousness onto a chip and used world-class technology to create a mechanical body for him.
The person in question wanted to ask, "Your speed is fluctuating so much, are you using S.A.W.S.?"
Because of the confidentiality agreement in my mind.
A could not reveal any information about world technology, but the electronic brain accepted the speculation of the desire for opinion.
That's right, the acceleration technology used by A is Sinweistein MAX, also known as Sinweistein 28.0.
2 times, 4 times, 8 times.
With each version upgrade, Sinweistan's speed doubles, and version 28.0 increases that speed by a factor of 268435456.
The reason why 28.0 was chosen as the final version instead of later versions was not because Midgley Heavy Industries couldn't do it, but because the researchers had already discovered that the speed of their universe was locked at the speed of light.
Let's assume that an average person walks at a speed of 1.4 meters per second.
So, if you wear a 28.0 light-emitting device, an ordinary person can reach the speed of light, and doubling that speed afterward would be meaningless.
Swish.
A restarts S.A.S.A.28.0.
Even with the speed of light, something as explosive as desire for opinion can only move as slowly as a tortoise.
"Target has been eliminated."
But just as A was about to deliver the fatal blow, an unexpected event occurred.
Flesh and Blood suddenly smiled: "You were happy for a moment just now, weren't you?"
In an instant.
The material of A's prosthetic body changed, from black high-entropy alloy to yellow gold.
Although gold is considered a relatively hard metal.
But in the hands of someone at the "exploding building" level, they're practically like a block of tofu, let alone someone at the "exploding ground level" level like "desire for opinions."
So it breaks at the slightest touch!
Seeing its prosthetic body shatter into pieces from the recoil after striking Opinion Desire, A's entire electronic brain instantly crashed: "Analyzing... Unable to analyze. High-entropy alloys have resistance and can resist supernatural abilities. How could they possibly transform into gold?"
And that's all there is to this brief analysis.
This gave the speaker another opportunity: "You were angry just now, weren't you?"
Bang!
A's body suddenly exploded, shattering into a pile of metal fragments from the inside out.
This is the ability to hear anger; once angry, it explodes.
The metallization I just witnessed was a power that brings joy; it turns into gold whenever I'm happy.
When his two brothers were killed by the cosmic overlord, he wanted to reclaim their flesh and blood grapes, so he is now essentially a trinity.
"That was close!"
It must be admitted that A's strength is indeed very strong:
In terms of attack, it can instantly kill a psychic master of the continent-level. In terms of speed, it is like light, reaching the upper limit of the universe. In terms of endurance, it has the energy technology of mechanical heavy industry, so it will not get tired even if it does not eat or drink. In terms of defense, it can withstand the gravity wave of the earth-shattering level without any damage.
But it's not hexagonal yet.
Even the most powerful cosmic overlords, capable of destroying stars, were brought under control by Yanxi.
It was still this fourth-ranked S that was shattered by the ability to hear anger.
All of this points to one thing: the judgment was terrible.
The desire for opinion finally discovered the weakness of this universe: "Your universe seems to lack judgment, right?"
