One Punch Supermarket Salesman

He is now worrying about nowhere to live. The money-loving system hasn't left him a cent.

As he continued walking, he suddenly patted his head: "By the way, isn't there someone else!"

He threw down the man in the suit who was still in a state of fainting and began searching his pockets.

The man in the suit has no cash, only a bank card and room card.

The bank card is useless, but the room card can still solve the urgent task.

According to the information on the room card, Lin He hurried to Room 2108 of the magnificent Central Hotel.

He put the room card in front of the sensor in front of the door and swiped it, and the door opened.

After pushing the door in, another man in a suit happened to hit him face to face.

Lin He beckoned to him awkwardly:

"good evening……"

Chapter 12 The Cruel Preliminaries

The next day, Lin He swaggered out of Room 2108. In the room, the man in a suit had been tied to a chair.

Lin He was still able to deal with this weaker, defenseless power opponent.

The next thing he has to think about is the question of the game.

According to the schedule, today's first game is the preliminaries.

As for the format of the preliminaries, Lin He doesn't know yet. He only heard that because of the large number of participants and robots, a special competition system will be adopted.

The distance between the Central Hotel and the man-machine battle venue is relatively close, so Lin He quickly arrived at his destination.

After obtaining a number plate through the entry card he obtained, he entered through the human contestant channel.

"No. 554, such a big number, I don't know how to arrange it?"

Lin He muttered while looking at the number plate in his hand.

"The number plates are arranged in the order in which they were registered. Of course, the top four in this ranking are the four seeded players."

A man's voice came from Lin He's side. Lin He turned his head and saw that standing beside him was a blond young man with a naked upper body and bandaged hands.

He is about eighteen years old, very young, but judging from the scars of his upper body muscles, he should not be a simple figure.

Reaching out without hitting the smiley person, Lin He also responded kindly: "My friends know a lot, my name is Lin He, who are you?"

The young man touched his head a little shyly and said, "I am Carol, and I am just an ordinary contestant. But I signed up earlier than you, and I am No. 73."

"Carol, do you know much about man-machine warfare?" Lin He saw that Carol was not a bad guy, and was willing to talk to him. "It's the first time I participated in the competition. I don't know many things."

Carol nodded and replied: "Well, I participated in the man-machine war last time, so I have some understanding."

"Then Carol, who are the four seeds you just mentioned?"

"They are the ones printed on the poster, two genius doctors and two martial arts supernovae."

Lin He thoughtfully continued to ask: "Then what place did you get last time?"

"Last time I just entered the top 32, I couldn't make any further progress." Carol was a little embarrassed when he said this.

Lin He, who knows his words and expressions, immediately noticed the change in his mood.

"It's okay, I believe you will definitely go further this time and surpass yourself." He shook his fist at Carol.

Carol touched his head embarrassedly again: "Thank you, Lin He."

The two talked as they walked, and quickly walked through the contestant channel and came to the lounge.

At this time, many players have come to the lounge.

All of these people are tall and mighty, and they can hardly be seen by the slightly shorter ones like Lin He.

"Oh, isn't this our dear Carol?"

Before Carol and Lin He found a place to sit down, a muscular man with pigtails came to the door.

"Quan King!" Carol was not calm when he saw this man, even his small face turned red.

"No. 129." Lin He glanced at this big guy who was two heads taller than himself, thinking that the two of them should have a holiday.

"Carol, I didn't expect you to have the courage to come. Did you think that the last time you lost was not bad enough?" The King's tone was full of disdain, "Just a person of your level, catch it in this venue. A lot."

Carol clenched his fists and said, "It's my own business whether to participate or not, you don't need to worry about it!"

"Yes!" Lin He encouraged Carol in a timely manner.

"Oh, I brought a friend to help out!" The King noticed Lin He next to Carol for the first time, and then cried out with some surprise: "I'm so ridiculous, you dare to come with your little arms and legs. It's so funny to participate in the competition!"

After speaking, he really clutched his stomach and laughed, which attracted the attention of many people.

Lin He touched his nose and said, "Is it so funny? Where is the point of laughter..."

Carol pulled Lin He aside: "Leave him alone, this king has always been so arrogant. I was defeated by him in the last man-machine battle. But you don't have to be afraid of Lin He. In order to win the prize, it is to improve yourself step by step, so as long as you do your best, I think it's fine."

In his mind, whether it was himself or Lin He, it was just to make soy sauce.

Lin He took the bowl of chicken soup, but still asked curiously: "Then which king was this king last time?"

A dignified look flashed in Carol's eyes, and he whispered under pressure, "Runner-up!"

"Aha, it seems that the strength is good!" Lin He raised his eyebrows.

"But this time he definitely won't get the runner-up, because this time there are five times as many people as the last time, and there are super-powered seed players, so he is probably only in the top ten." Carol seems to be. He didn't want to make Lin He lose his confidence and continued to add, but Lin He still read from his tone of unconfidence.

After the two exchanged about some players, a staff member came to urge them to enter the arena.

Then there are some tedious ceremonies, which are similar to those on earth before, undoubtedly introducing sponsors and guests, but beyond Lin He's expectation, one person also came to the scene.

"Now, we welcome with warm applause, the top master of martial arts, Mr. Banggu!"

Then, an old man wearing a black shirt and white pants appeared in the guest table.

If Lin He remembers correctly, Banggu's age in One Punch Man drama should be eighty-one.Now, after all, it is the time and space of One Punch Man 20 years ago, so he is much younger.

For the 61-year-old Banggu, Lin He is also very difficult to determine whether he is weaker or stronger than the original, because martial arts are very physical and experienced.

Physical strength requires young age and experience requires old age. This is a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile.
