"Huh? Give it to him?" The subordinate looked up in surprise.
"His strength is already at the threshold of an S-Class Hero. Why wouldn't we give it to him?"
The Hero Association's higher-ups looked at their subordinate with a puzzled expression. "The number of Monsters is increasing. Ten years ago, we'd see one every nine months. Now, we're seeing hundreds, even thousands, every month. Both the quantity and quality are improving."
"But the number of our high-quality heroes hasn't increased much. Instead of trying to recruit talent, do you want to send S-Class Heroes to fight each other within humanity?"
"We don't have a problem with more high-ranking heroes in the Association, and it's not like we're paying him out of our own pockets anyway."
The subordinate wanted to retort, saying that Bai Ye's actions had already caused casualties.
But then he thought of the S-Class Hero's sexy prison uniform, still serving time in prison because of attacking men, and the Hero Association still hadn't revoked his qualifications.
Apparently, the S-Class Heroes' strength allowed them to disregard the law to a certain extent.
"Understood. I'll go notify them immediately." The subordinate nodded in agreement, then turned and immediately dialed the branch's phone.
Meanwhile, at the Z City branch, Bai Ye was waiting for the Hero Association's decision, preparing to fight his way up.
Based on his current strength, he figured he'd be stopped around the 5th S-Class rank, relying solely on brute force without using technology.
As Bai Ye was lost in thought, a staff member who had received the news stepped forward, smiling respectfully. "Sir, I understand your request. After careful consideration during the meeting, headquarters has decided to exceptionally promote you to an S-Class Hero."
'Are they serious? Is the Association lacking strong heroes?' The Reincarnators nearby widened their eyes, their hearts beginning to race.
"Currently, you are ranked 17th among the S-Class Heroes. Please continue your efforts and improve your ranking by completing missions."
The staff member spoke softly, their tone incredibly gentle, far more so than when addressing the Reincarnators earlier.
"17th? Isn't that the bottom of the S-Class? Can I improve my ranking by beating up heroes ranked higher than me?" Bai Ye asked.
"I'm sorry, but hero ranks can only be improved by defeating monsters and similar events," the staff member said, sweat beading on his forehead.
"I see. Can I choose my hero title, then? I'll go with Nemesis," Bai Ye said.
The staff member had no objections to this small request and immediately confirmed it for Bai Ye.
And at the moment of registration, the voice of Sovereign Space sounded in Bai Ye's ear.
[Main Quest: Faction Division] (Completed) Reincarnator joins the hero faction. Reward issued, please check. [Side Quest 1: Hero's Proof] (Activated) Task Description: Since you've chosen to be a hero, become the strongest one. Task Requirement: Please Reincarnator, within two months, increase your status within your faction as much as possible through your own strength.
Task Reward: C-Class Hero, increase reward points by 1 for each rank up (maximum of ten points);
For each level increase in hero rank, reward points increase by 10 times, with the upper limit also increasing by 10 times.
In addition, for the top three who reach S-Class, reward points increase by thirty thousand for each rank up.
Task Penalty: Before the two-month countdown ends, all Reincarnators who have activated this side quest and have not become A-Class Heroes will be erased!
[Side Quest 2: Enemy of Monsters] (Activated) Task Description: As a hero, you will be at odds with monsters.
Task Requirement: Please Reincarnators kill as many monsters or hostile Reincarnators as possible within two months.
Task Reward: 10 reward points for hunting a monster reaching Wolf-level, with reward points multiplied by 10 for each level increase. Task Penalty: Before the countdown ends, all Reincarnators who have activated this side quest and have the lowest ranking will have all reward points deducted! ...
Looking at the re-freshed side quest, Bai Ye suddenly discovered that a penalty had begun to appear, while the original main quest did not have one.
Clearly, Sovereign Space's meaning was obvious: to get stronger in this world, and cultivate its power system, one had to complete the main quest.
But after completing the main quest, the subsequent side quests would force one to take risks, making it impossible to simply lie low.
Conversely, if one chose to be an ordinary person and didn't participate in the main quest…
Then there would be no risk, but also no possibility of gaining power. One would be trampled underfoot for life. The choice was entirely one's own, right?
"Interesting, this Sovereign Space. I kind of like it." Bai Ye's lips curled up.
"Hey, I don't have a house or any money right now. Shouldn't you guys at the Hero Association have some kind of welfare policy?" Bai Ye asked the staff member.
"Well, of course, no problem. According to the Hero Association's welfare policy, S-Class Heroes can get an advance on their salary. It's more than enough for your living expenses," the staff member replied.
"Alright, take me to find a place to live, then," Bai Ye said, as if ordering a subordinate.
"Of course, no problem. I'll take you to your assigned housing right away." The staff member nodded repeatedly, temporarily transformed into Bai Ye's personal assistant.
Watching the staff member, with a flattering tone, lead Bai Ye out of the Hero Association's doors, the Reincarnators squatting nearby were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. They wished they could immediately jump out and replicate Bai Ye's actions.
"Oh, right. They're considered our friends, and they seem to have pretty good strength, but like me, they don't have identification. Can you arrange a hero test for them as soon as possible?"
At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly pointed at the Reincarnators huddled in the corner.
"Ah, all of them?" The staff member was stunned.
After Bai Ye spoke, those Reincarnators who had just reacted, now changed their faces faster than flipping a book, immediately taking action.
"Big Brother!!!"
One Reincarnator executed a graceful slide-kneel, coming behind Bai Ye and cupping his fists at the staff member, "Hello, I am Big Brother's number one underling, Iron Fist Tiger, pleased to meet you."
"Also me, I'm the second-in-command under Big Brother, Black Heart War God, pleased to meet you."
"I'm number three…"
"I'm number six…"
"I'm Godfather's adopted son, you can call me…"
"He's actually my uncle…"
In the short time it took Bai Ye to speak a single sentence, these Reincarnators, in order to join the Hero Association, had all thrown away their morals. They were all trying to claim kinship with Bai Ye, bringing out dozens of relatives, like they all came from the same village.
Even Ivanov, from before, had also abandoned his principles, and was now sporting the title of Bai Ye's number six subordinate.
"This… isn't entirely impossible. I'll report to the Association later, and we can arrange a special test in the evening."
"For Bai Ye's sake," the Hero Association's previously firm principles immediately became flexible, and a staff member nodded after some thought.
But only a few hours later, the Hero Association discovered that Bai Ye's relatives were all at least A-Class heroes, making them wonder if Bai Ye and his people had come from Wu Family Village.
