Chapter 14
: Saitama, who was beaten to the point of questioning his existence
Ko
Unsurprisingly, King defeated Saitama's three heroes in a single battle.
Saitama, covered in sweat, exclaimed, "No way? How is this possible? My form isn't good today. Let's play another round."
ko
"Damn it, looks like I'll have to use my secret weapon. This is my newly invented infinite combo, Ora Ora Ora!"
ko
"I'm not convinced, let's play another round."
ko
Ugh, ahhh, Saitama's expression gradually turned terrified.
ko
Saitama knelt down, lost in a questioning of life.
"Um, Saitama, how about I go easy on you and only use two fingers to hit you?"
"You said it yourself, so this time I'm going to beat you to a pulp." Saitama raised his head, his eyes sharp, instantly filled with fighting spirit.
A moment later, the bald man collapsed and choked on his head.
"Who am I? Where am I? Am I really just a noob?"
Are you kidding me? King's gaming skills are bug-level.
"Hehehe," Boros chuckled as he watched the bald man's expression shift from confidence to terror, and finally to collapse.
To be fair, Saitama is quite skilled. A strong person in real life will never be weak in a game either. The reaction speed and hand-eye coordination brought by that kind of physical instinct are equally applicable in the game world.
Boros felt that Saitama and he were evenly matched, but unfortunately, he encountered someone like King who was completely unreasonable. Forget about reaction speed and such; King just crushed him with pure skill. Boros seriously doubted that King's gaming skills had nothing to do with technique anymore; it was all about rules. King could crush any strong and skilled player.
Boros asked gloatingly, "How about it, Saitama? Still think you're a gaming pro? I've told you before, young man, don't be so arrogant."
Saitama suddenly raised his head: "Boros, stop with the sarcastic remarks. I don't believe you're as strong as King. If you're so tough, fight me."
Oh my god, you bald bastard, you know you have to pick on the weak, huh? In real life I'm all thumbs to you, but do you think I'll indulge you in the game?
Suddenly, Boros thought of a very serious question, ⊙△⊙
In the real world, Boros, the mighty ruler of the universe and leader of the Dark Matter Pirates, is no match for the bald demon king in front of him, who can easily defeat him with a single hand.
In the game world, even if you can't beat King, he'll still easily defeat you with one hand.
"So... in this room, whether physically or virtually, I, Boros, am the bottom of the three? I'm at the very bottom of the food chain? Am I some fake cosmic overlord?"
Thinking of this, Boros said listlessly, "Sigh o(︶︿︶)o, never mind, I'm not in the mood today. I'll let you off the hook for now, and I'll punish you another day." Without waiting for Saitama's reply, he turned and walked back to his bedroom.
I need to study the system more. My current strength is only suitable for high-level matches. I can easily crush dragon-level opponents, but it's not enough for peak-level matches.
Thinking of this, Boros recalled the ranking system that netizens had set for Dragon-level monsters in the original work. In addition to the Dragon Lower, Dragon Middle, Dragon Upper, and Dragon Peak levels, there was another independent level specially set for a single monster: Dragon Shame - Bakuzan.
Then think about Star Wolf, Blast, God, Saitama...
Am I going to be the most shameful person in the world?

"Ding, system advancement complete. This advancement has activated the system's card-drawing function. The first card draw will grant the host a free 10-draw event."
"On the gacha page, the host can consume dimensional energy to draw cards, and obtain items, abilities, etc..."
"It's here!" Boros perked up, thinking that the upgrade was finally complete. He had been waiting for 24 hours and was almost turning into a statue waiting for her husband, but it wasn't a waste of time. It even gave him a gacha function. He loved gacha the most. Boros thought happily and quickly entered the system interface to check.
Boss [Name: Boros]
[Strength: SS]
Agility: S+
[Physical Fitness: S]+
[Spirit: SS]
[Skill 1: Overlord's Burst...]
[Skill 2: Meteor Burst...]
[Skill 3: Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon...]
Current dimensional energy level: 6
[Use dimensional energy to break through your own limiter, increase your four-dimensional stats, etc. Current energy required to break through the limiter: 200]
[Evaluation: You are the apex predator of the food chain, a true pinnacle warrior.]
[The host has not reached the peak of this being. To break through the limiter again, all four dimensions need to be maxed out.]
[Current number of times the limiter has been removed: 1]
[Gacha Pool: 10 single pulls, 0 ten-pulls]
Hmm? His mental attributes have increased too? He didn't allocate any points to them, but remembering his battle with Saitama, "So that means..."
A flash of understanding crossed Boros's eyes. "After breaking through the limiter, the body's limits are removed. It's not just about adding points through the system? As long as you keep training or honing your skills, other attributes can also be improved? That's good news."
Thinking of this, his mood improved, and he began to check out the new features of the system. When the lottery card pool page was opened, the dazzling prize pool display area was truly luxurious. At the top, rows of top prizes radiating dazzling red light were scrolling: Super Saiyan Bloodline, Bloodline Enhancement Potion, Fighting Word Secret, and other red cards. Boros's mouth was practically watering at the sight.
Come on, let's be blessed with good fortune, defy the heavens and change our fate! Give me a 10-pull, Boros!
A dazzling streak of light flashed before his eyes, but when the light faded, the result before him cooled his enthusiasm.
Eight dull white cards, one faintly glowing green card, and one purple card.
He trembled as he clicked on the details: bandage card, kitchen knife card, apple card... all the white cards were worthless junk.
The green card "Wolf Fang Fist" is said to originate from the Dragon Ball world. Its core is to create rapid combos by imitating the pouncing movements of a wolf, and it has some fighting value.
Purple card "Grandmaster of Swordsmanship": "Originating from the Pan-World, your swordsmanship has reached its peak. Your sword moves are as smooth as flowing water, your sword energy is ever-present, and your sword intent is profound."
"No way, what?!" Boros was completely dumbfounded. "For your first card draw, you should at least give us a little something extra, right? These cards aren't just completely useless, they're practically utterly worthless!"
This purple card is a joke! I don't even use swords, and besides, what kind of divine sword could remain undamaged during a battle I'm involved in?
He was somewhat incredulous and began to carefully examine the card pool description:
White card, probability 70%
Green card, probability 20%
Blue card, 9% probability
Purple card, probability 0.9%
Orange card, probability 0.09%
Red card, probability 0.01%
A guaranteed purple card is awarded after 10 pulls, an orange card after 100 pulls, but red cards are not guaranteed.
Boros's lips twitched: "Heh, luckily the first draw was free. If I had used 100 energy points to draw these trash, I would have coughed up blood three times. Even if it's free, I would still feel like I'm wasting my time."
I redeemed all the cards, threw all the items from the white cards into the trash, and then the Wolf Fang Wind Fist and sword comprehension flooded into my mind.
Haha, what a terrible system. I'll just pretend this gacha feature doesn't exist. With this gacha mechanism, if I ever have to spend energy to draw a card again, I'll eat it upside down...
Just then, with a "click," the door was pushed open, and King walked in. Looking at Boros, who was staring blankly at the air, he casually asked, "Boros, what are you daydreaming about? The association said they couldn't reach you by phone, so they asked me to contact you."
"Hmm? Has some strange person appeared nearby?"
"No, not at all." King waved his hand and explained, "You just defeated that Dragon-level threat 'Giant' yesterday, and the association is moving quickly, planning to officially promote you to S-rank. As for the specific ranking, headquarters hopes you can come over to discuss it, and also record a new promotional video."
"Too much trouble, I don't want to go." Boros frowned and waved his hand. "Forget it, let them handle the rankings themselves."
"Alright, I'll let headquarters know." King nodded. "But Boros, your promotion speed is indeed too fast. You need to be prepared that if the association ranks you too high this time, it might cause dissatisfaction among many A-rank heroes, or even other S-rank heroes. At that time, I'm afraid quite a few heroes will come looking for trouble for you."
"Haha," Boros laughed. "Don't worry, King. In my opinion, most of the S-class heroes in the association, apart from a handful of those who are somewhat decent, are just insignificant nobodys. What trouble could they possibly cause?"
Boros walked out of the bedroom, heading to open a can of Coke in the fridge. He glanced at Saitama in the living room, still engrossed in practicing his game, and chuckled. He walked over, grinning mischievously, and patted Saitama on the shoulder: "Hey, Saitama, still practicing? Didn't I beat you up yesterday?"
"Boros, let me tell you, King isn't actually that powerful." Saitama sat cross-legged on the ground, gripping a game controller, his brow furrowed.
"There's definitely something special about the C-rank heroes he chose yesterday. I tried to recreate their moves and combos, and they were really impressive. He must have accidentally discovered some hidden mechanism; these heroes are even more useful than the rarer ones. Once I've mastered them, I'll challenge him again and see how I crush him."
"Hehe."
What kind of nonsense is there about a few free starter heroes? Boros looked at the bald man in front of him, who was radiating "mysterious confidence," and it was as if he was seeing himself a few days ago.
"Okay, good luck, take your time practicing." Boros suppressed a smile and tried his best to sound sincere. "When you finally beat King, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Hehehe, foolish mortal, what awaits you is the absolute terror of the King's reign, hehehehe.
Saitama frowned: "Boros, could you please stop that weird laugh? It really sounds like a villain's!"
What? Did I laugh out loud again? It's a professional habit, sorry, sorry...
