- Global Reincarnation: Only I Know the Plot
- GROIKTP Chapter 508
“Make way! Don’t block the road!”
“We’re heroes…”
Two people dressed in strange outfits suddenly came running from a distance.
When the crowd heard they were heroes, they quickly stepped aside to clear the path.
“We received an alert that there’s a monster on this street?”
“Where is the monster?”
An older man pointed to the corpse of the cockroach monster on the ground and said, “Over there!”
“Oh?”
The hero with hair shaped like a rooster comb saw the cockroach monster’s body and exclaimed, “It’s already dead? Who killed this monster?”
Upon hearing this, many people turned to look at Chen Ye.
“It was this gentleman!”
“This young man is incredibly strong—he killed the monster with a single punch.”
“We owe our lives to him…”
Hearing the crowd’s words, the two heroes exchanged surprised glances.
The cockroach monster was quite large, and arthropod-type monsters like this were known for their incredible strength and defense!
For this young man to kill such a monster with one punch? That’s some serious power!
Their attitude toward Chen Ye instantly became more respectful.
First, they dispersed the crowd, and then they approached Chen Ye to chat.
Oh, and it’s worth mentioning—when the crowd was dispersed, a high school girl left very reluctantly…
…
“Hello, we are heroes. I’m Mohican, ranked 167th in the C-class, and this is my partner, Bee Man, ranked 159th in the C-class.”
The hero with rooster-comb hair introduced himself and then introduced his partner, who was dressed in a striped outfit resembling a bee.
Chen Ye nodded and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Mundo.”
Mohican then asked, “Mundo-san, are you also a hero from the Association?”
“No, I’m not,” Chen Ye shook his head.
“I see,” said the hero dressed like a bee. “No wonder we don’t recognize you.”
Chen Ye wasn’t sure what their purpose was for dispersing the crowd and leaving him alone, so he asked directly:
“Do you need something?”
The two C-class heroes exchanged another glance before Mohican spoke again, “Well, Mundo-kun, we noticed your impressive strength. Would you be interested in becoming a hero?”
“Becoming a hero?”
Chen Ye suddenly smiled.
Of course, he was interested!
One of his tasks in this world was to become a hero in the Hero Association.
“Yes!” Mohican, thinking Chen Ye didn’t know about the perks of being a hero, quickly added, “As a hero, you’ll receive a monthly salary higher than most office workers. Plus, being a hero offers more freedom. You just need to keep your assigned area safe…”
This guy was so eager to recruit Chen Ye that he conveniently left out the risks of being a hero.
Chen Ye found it odd—why were these two so keen on inviting him to become a hero?
“I’m curious—what’s in it for you if I become a hero?”
Mohican chuckled and didn’t hide it, “Mundo-kun, we believe you’ll perform exceptionally well as a hero, and since we’d be your sponsors, our credentials would improve significantly. It would help with our future promotions!”
Chen Ye finally understood their motivation.
However…
From what he remembered, becoming an official hero required passing the Hero Association’s exam.
He hadn’t heard anything about needing a “sponsor.” That wasn’t mentioned in the original plot either.
Chen Ye couldn’t help but ask, “So heroes can be recommended?”
“Yes! But even recommended candidates must pass the exam…”
Hearing this, Chen Ye nodded.
It made sense. If anyone could get in through recommendations alone, the Hero Association would be filled with unqualified people.
Bee Man suddenly suggested, “Actually, tomorrow is the 55th Hero Assessment Test. Mundo-kun, would you like to participate? If we recommend you, you won’t even need to wait in line!”
Chen Ye thought about it and decided it wouldn’t hurt to try, so he smiled and agreed.
“Great!”
Both Mohican and Bee Man smiled with joy at his response.
“Alright then, Mundo-kun, we’ll meet tomorrow morning at the entrance of the assessment center…”
…
After parting ways with Mohican and Bee Man, Chen Ye strolled through the streets, noticing numerous billboards displaying the same advertisement.
**[The 55th Hero Assessment Test!]**
**[Registration period: July 1st to September 1st.]**
It seemed today was the last day for registration!
“It looks like the Reincarnation System chose the timing perfectly—leaving no room for delays…”
Chen Ye smiled faintly.
Then, he checked into a luxury hotel.
As for the hotel fees… Chen Ye had a special item: the “Black Card,” which had a billion-dollar limit and could be used in any modern human society.
…
That night.
In City A, at the Hero Association headquarters.
A high-level meeting was underway.
In a spacious conference room, a young man was briefing the senior executives attending the meeting.
“…We contacted License-less Rider, and he has stated that he does not wish to be promoted to B-class.”
Upon hearing this, a few of the higher-ups looked displeased.
“If he doesn’t want to, then don’t force it.”
“Then License-less Rider will remain ranked number 1 in the C-class.”
The young man quickly responded, “Understood, I’ll relay the message to him promptly.”
A middle-aged man couldn’t help but grumble, “Why on earth wouldn’t he want to be promoted to B-class?”
“Moving on to the next agenda item.”
The young man continued, “The 55th Hero Assessment Test is approaching, and so far, 11,697 people have registered for the exam across six test sites—a 22% increase from the last test.”
Hearing this, many of the senior executives were pleasantly surprised and smiled.
The fact that more people were taking the Hero Association exam was a good thing for them.
It showed that more and more people were willing to join the noble profession of being a hero!
As everyone was celebrating this statistic, an elder in the room suddenly threw cold water on the excitement, “Don’t celebrate too soon. Although the number of applicants is increasing, the overall quality of heroes is declining! Even if we get more people, they won’t be able to fight the monsters. In the end, it’s meaningless.”
The atmosphere in the room turned serious again at the elder’s words.
Recently, there had been an increase in the frequency of monster appearances, and many of them were incredibly powerful. Each new monster that appeared was a catastrophe for the area.
Several human cities had already been reduced to ruins.
Low-level heroes were completely useless against these powerful monsters.
And the number of top-tier heroes hadn’t increased either, leaving the battle strength of the association lacking.
The elder spoke again, his tone grave, “That’s why the testing process must be stricter. We need elites, not weaklings!”
Everyone felt a chill but remained silent. No one dared argue with the elder, as he seemed to hold significant authority within the Hero Association.
“By the way!” one of the senior executives suddenly said. “I heard that person also registered for the test?”
Someone responded, “Yes, I’ve received his information.”
With that, he began distributing the documents he held to the others.
Soon, murmurs of surprise filled the room.
“A preliminary S-class evaluation? Could this be a mistake?”
“Genos? A cyborg?”
“Ah, I see. He’s the one who destroyed the House of Evolution!”
“Excellent, we haven’t had a new S-class hero in a long time…”
“It looks like another S-class hero is about to emerge—this is fantastic news!”
