The central square of City H was filled with people. City H's super idol group, the Ten G.o.ds, was about to start their new show.
In a van behind the stage, the Ten G.o.ds group members and their agents were talking.
"This time, we invited the D-Cla.s.s shark headed villain! Don't worry, there's no way what happened last time will be repeated this time." The agent smiled as he rea.s.sured the Ten G.o.ds.
"Are you sure?" The leader of the Ten G.o.ds asked cautiously, remembering the tragic memories of the last time, where he was cheated by the criminals he had hired.
"This time we hired a D-Cla.s.s villain; even if it turns out to be overly violent, I still think that you all are strong enough to get it right," replied the agent. Then, as he listened to the growing clamor outside, he added, "It's about time for you to head on stage."
"This way? Brothers, let's go." The Ten G.o.ds band members took to the stage.
"h.e.l.lo everyone! We are...the TEN G.o.dS!!"
"Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds!" The cheers below grew louder and louder, accompanied by the screams of a thousand fangirls.
As the concert reached its peak, an audience member, whose face had been hidden by his hat, suddenly swelled, transforming into a giant shark-headed monster, right there in the crowd. The whole crowd was instantly filled with turmoil.
"The Ten G.o.ds?" The interrupting shark shouted at the group on stage. "I hate you the most! Today I will swallow you whole!"
Although the crowd was in an uproar, they didn't run away, instead thronging together further as spectators. In this era with superheroes everywhere, and super villains like dogs, people had long since grown used to going out in the morning to watch the superheroes playing around with monsters. Of course, Area C was more extreme than most in this regard. Once there was a super villain who couldn't take all the fearless onlookers in Area C. This villain didn't even wait for the superhero to come, but actually chickened out and ran from just the crowd.
On stage, the music did not stop. The Ten G.o.ds captain leaped off the stage with a chic flair, and his band members stayed on stage behind him to keep playing his theme music.
"Since you dare to appear here, be ready to receive your judgment." The Ten G.o.ds captain shouted into his microphone, and posed in front of the shark.
"I have heard that you of the Ten G.o.ds group are very powerful," The shark challenged. "Show me your strength today!"
"I'll have to postpone my show until next time!" The Ten G.o.ds captain yelled to the audience.
"Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds! Ten G.o.ds!" The voices of the onlookers started to sound more excited.
"Did you think I would be afraid of you?" The shark roared towards the hero, and Ten G.o.ds, opposite him, a.s.sumed a heroic pose that drew screams of rapture from countless girls in the audience.
"Behold! The power of my Ten G.o.ds!" Saying thus, he readied himself to launch his hero moves.
But! Just as he had only lifted his leg, a huge mace was slammed down towards the man-eating shark. Then, all that was left was the man-eating shark, lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Okay, I'm done." Lin Jie looked at the shark who had fallen to the ground.
"This again!" Ten G.o.ds stood frozen in his leg-lifting pose as he stared at the poacher.
This guy ruined my contract last time,too!
"Well, now that the game is over, I will go home and watch my new show." Lin Jie dashed off through the crowd. As he left, Lin Jie glanced back and smiled oddly at the Ten G.o.ds.
He actually made that expression at me! He did that on purpose! What did I do to offend him? The Ten G.o.ds captain was extremely confused as to why this guy kept showing up to every public performance in H City.
"That guy was a great warrior from the Decontamination Team!" At that moment, an onlooker realized the ident.i.ty of the poacher.
"That was a guy who has recently risen to the D-Cla.s.s Decontamination Team?" Another audience member asked.
"Yes, it's him, a great warrior. Did you see that mace? He's been using the same weapon all through H City."
"Screw your great warrior! Your family is an awesome team!" Lin Jie was aggrieved in his heart: "And what kind of curse is Decontamination Team? When did we get such a trash name? Has that person's censored decontamination stick become the hallmark of our team? Then, are we going to advertise for something in the adult goods store in the future? Don't say it's a good job..."
At the same time Lin Jie was feeling distracted by the t.i.tle "Great Warrior" and "Decontamination Team", the Ten G.o.ds captain, still holding his leg high, began to feel his gears turning.
D hero? I understand. That is, this is the vicious compet.i.tion and the vicious in-fighting of peers! He must have been dissatisfied with the fact that I hired a villain to cheat, so he deliberately came over. That's right, that must be it.
However, at the same time, Lin Jie was oblivious to the thoughts of the Ten G.o.ds. All he wanted was to go home and watch his anime.

Back home, Lin Jie returned to his room.
"Sure enough, watching Clover at home alone is the coolest." Lin Jie took a sip of c.o.ke and breathed deeply.
Because Lin sis worked in a research inst.i.tute and had been busy lately with the doctoral exam, she often went out early and came home late. The little loli had also been sent to a college facility that specialized in teaching super-powered children.
Time pa.s.sed quickly for the lazy Lin Jie.
"It's almost time. I should go pick up Xiao Mu Mu." Lin Jie took a look at the time.
When Lin Jie came to the school where the little loli was studying, he the following scene.
"Mu Mu, look at this puppy, so pitiful." A little loli said to Xiao Mu Mu.
"Yeah." Lin Mu Mu replied.
The two little girls were next to a cardboard box with a puppy that looked to be a few months old. It was looking at the two little lolis with a pair of eyes that could kill. Written on the box were the words: "Looking for a home and a place to sleep"
"It looks so pitiful." The little loli said. "Mu Mu, can you adopt her?"
Lin Mu Mu thought for a moment: "No, Lin sis will not agree. She has been very tired recently. If I bring a dog home, she will be angry."
"What to do, my mother won't let me have a dog. She also says it's too much trouble." The little loli said. "Sure enough, adults are too annoying."
"What should I do?" Lin Mu Mu asked.
"I don't know. Our families obviously won't let us keep it, but it's too pitiful to leave it here." the little loli complained. "What to do, we absolutely can't just leave it. If we let those nasty boys see it, they will definitely bully it."
Seeing the distressed look on her friend's face, Lin Mu Mu thought about it. She put her hand on the ground and instantly pulled out a long knife made of soil out of the ground.
"Lin brother said that if you encounter something that is too much trouble, just cut it first." Lin Mu Mu pointed the long knife in her hand at the puppy.
"Mu Mu!" the little loli startled Xiao Mu Mu. "What are you doing?"
"Cut it." Lin Mu Mu said. "We don't have to worry about adopting it after we cut it. Isn't that true? Not only that, we don't have to worry about it falling into the hands of those nasty boys..."
"Mu Mu! How are you so cold-blooded! What sign were you born under?" The little girl quickly stopped Lin Mu Mu: "If you really dare to cut down, I will cut ties with you."
"Cut!"
"You just cut it! This is not how girls should behave." The little girl said: "We can't be so cold-blooded, isn't that just like a bad guy?"
"But brother - they are all like this." Lin Mu Mu said inexplicably.
"Those adults are sc.u.m! You don't want to learn from them." Lin Mu Mu's friend protested.
"I finally understand why Lin sis has been so opposed to Xiao Mu Mu playing with us recently. I didn't think it was so serious as to be contagious. It seems that I should show myself." Lin Jie peeked from behind a tree. About the little loli, he muttered to himself, "She is still young, and this sort of world view should be corrected naturally, probably..."
Thinking this, Lin Jie came out from behind the tree.
"I'm here to pick you up, Mu Mu!" Lin Jie called.
"Lin Brother!" Lin Mu Mu saw Lin Jie and ran over.
"Are you worried about the puppy?" asked Lin Jie.
"Mhmm! This puppy is so sad!" Lin Mu Mu said.
"Then, we will adopt it." Lin Jie told her.
"Can you really, big brother?" asked Lin Mu Mu's friend.
"Of course." Lin Jie said: "Are you Mu Mu's new friend? Then please take care of her at school."
"Of course! We will build a super team together in the future." The little girl replied.
"But, about Lin sis, she has been very tired just cleaning up after us, won't she have to work too hard with a puppy too?" Xiao Loli asked worriedly.
"Our family is really messy!" Lin Jie patted Lin Mu Mu's head and said: "I know sis has been tired, but you can rest a.s.sured we'll take care of the puppy."
Lin Jie had no problems convincing Mu Mu.
"Great!" The little girls cheered up.
"Right, adults are not all sc.u.m, although there are indeed a lot of sc.u.m." Lin Jie turned to the little girl: "Don't say adults are sc.u.m."
"I know." Because the puppy had found a home, the little girl was very happy. "Big Brother, you are a good sc.u.m."
"..." Lin Jie was speechless. "What kind of compliment is 'good sc.u.m'?"
"Goodbye, Qingqing." Lin Mu Mu called out to the little girl, and walked home with Lin Jie and the puppy.
"See you around, Mu Mu." The little girl also said goodbye, then went on her way.
