"Hahaha, is this all the strength you have? In that case, from now on, the land will belong to our Sea People!"
"justice--"
The shouts rang out from afar, and Deep Sea King, who was about to finish off his opponent, subconsciously looked behind him and saw a figure leaving afterimages.
"—Impact!"
The collision of flesh against flesh produced a low, rumbling sound like rubber hammering, accompanied by an explosion of air currents from the torrential rain, sending the two figures flying and falling in opposite directions.
The burly body crashed through the walls of five houses before slamming heavily onto the ground. Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Deep Sea King stomped on the concrete floor beneath his feet and looked ahead.
The characteristics of marine life endowed the Deep Sea King with the ability to see farther and more clearly in the storm. In its angry gaze, it clearly saw that the human who had just knocked it away was also unharmed.
A human being as strong as myself?
This conclusion infuriated Deep Sea King. You see, before, whether it was "Sexy Prisoner" or "Devil Cyborg," regardless of combat power, Deep Sea King absolutely crushed them in terms of physical attributes alone. Even the "Devil Cyborg," who almost won, achieved that result through mechanization. But what did he see now?
An ordinary person with no signs of mechanical modification or even weapons actually held his own against the Deep Sea King, who stood at the very top of all the sea people.
"Kill you!"
Deep Sea King roared and charged forward, its shark head covered in sharp teeth. With each step it stomped on the ground, it covered dozens of meters, and with a force powerful enough to crush a main battle tank into a pancake, it slammed into the unlicensed hero who had just gotten up.
An even more violent blast wave erupted, even creating a sonic boom at one point, and the glass on the buildings on both sides shattered one after another in the impact.
Below, Deep Sea King and Mumen Rider are locked in a fierce battle, their punches landing with tremendous force. This intense combat inflicts immense pain on both sides while simultaneously forcing them to extract even greater power from their bodies.
Three minutes later, after two disproportionately large fists slammed into each other's faces, the two separated again in the pouring rain, leaving a trail in their wake.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
“Sha… Sha…”
Fish Eyes stared intently at the unlicensed hero before him, the bloody taste in his mouth forcing the extremely enraged Deep Sea King to face reality: in terms of physical attributes, it had no advantage whatsoever, and was even at a disadvantage.
If it weren't for the opponent's unfamiliarity with fighting techniques, the outcome would probably have been decided long ago. However, if things continued like this, its defeat was foreseeable. Although the battle was short, the Deep Sea King's powerful perception made it notice that the hero in front of it was growing at a terrifying speed. From not even knowing where it was at the beginning and only being able to passively endure attacks, it had only taken three minutes to fight back and forth with the opponent. If this continued, it would be impossible for it to defeat the opponent, let alone lead the Sea People to conquer the land.
With that in mind, Deep Sea King decided to use its ultimate move, but it needed some time to prepare beforehand.
“Human, tell me your title. As someone who can stand against the King of the Deep Sea, you deserve to be remembered for your title.”
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, the pain almost disappeared in just a few seconds. The Unlicensed Rider, who had gradually become accustomed to his terrifying recovery ability, replied excitedly, "Rank C, number 100014, Unlicensed Hero."
The answer from the human before him nearly interrupted Deep Sea King's buildup. He roared in exasperation, "A Class C Hero?!"
"That's right, the modifications made by the doctor have given me the power to defeat evil, and now I will use this power to uphold justice!"
Even now, the unlicensed hero still doesn't forget to advertise for "Penguin". After saying this, he took a deep breath - like a bellows, a large amount of surrounding air rushed into the unlicensed hero's mouth.
"justice--"
Deep Sea King was startled; he realized he couldn't wait any longer before launching his fully charged attack, which was already halfway through its power. He had to attack before the Unlicensed Hero could react.
"Deep-sea bite kill!"
In the normal world of scientific understanding, a shark's bite force ranks third among all creatures, with a bite force of up to 1857 kilograms, enough to crush most creatures in the deep sea.
If ordinary sharks are like this, then what about the Deep Sea King, which is a mutant?
When Deep Sea King suddenly used the torrential rain to move at high speed, appeared behind Unlicensed Hero and bit him, the result was...
Its body, with strength equivalent to a hundred-times-forged metal, was completely unable to withstand the Deep Sea King's sharp teeth. Half of its flesh was torn apart, and hot blood dripped onto the ground with a hissing sound.
Staring blankly at the sharp teeth embedded in his body, the unlicensed hero collapsed.
With a forceful jerk of its head, it flung the corpse in its mouth to one side. Looking at the motionless Unlicensed Hero, Deep Sea King once again let out a triumphant laugh.
"Hahaha, I won in the end! Foolish humans, the land is destined to belong to us sea people!"
far away.
Sensing that the "experimental subject's" subjective consciousness was gradually dissipating, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and took out a vial of medicine that he had prepared in advance and poured it on the ground.
"The experiment begins."
Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 609 The Era of National Heroes (3)
Before Deep Sea King could finish his victory speech, a bald man carrying a cyborg walked out from the end of the street and stopped after noticing the "horrific scene" here.
"Hmm? There are actually people coming to their deaths. It seems you lot don't understand the terror of the Deep Sea King. Very well, I'll show you what despair is!"
On the other side, neither the seriously injured Genos nor Saitama, who rushed to the scene after receiving Genos's plea for help, paid any attention to Deep Sea King. Instead, they looked at the motionless "corpse" lying on the ground.
"Damn it, I'm late!"
Genos looked at the "corpse" of the Unlicensed Hero with deep regret. In Genos's opinion, the Unlicensed Hero was killed by the Deep Sea King while trying to save him, which naturally made him feel extremely guilty.
At this moment, Saitama's still somewhat lazy voice rang out: "He's fine."
"Eh?"
Looking up blankly in the direction of the "corpse" of Mumen Rider + Saki%Also, Deep Sea King, who had also noticed their reactions, paused in its approach. Although it thought such a thing was impossible, a sense of unease still drove it to look in the same direction.
"How can it be--!"
Under the incredulous gaze of the Deep Sea King, the corpse, whose heart had stopped beating and who should have been lying there motionless, slowly rose from the ground. The hideous wounds torn by sharp teeth on its body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Moreover, this "unlicensed hero" who had come back from the dead was now exuding an astonishingly terrifying aura.
"Deep Sea King, the power of humans is limited."
Stunned by this extremely unusual scene, Deep Sea King was not about to surrender so easily. With the idea of killing him once and then twice, Deep Sea King once again gathered his strength.
Ignoring Deep Sea King's actions, "Unlicensed Hero" approached it step by step: "What I've learned from my short life is that monsters and aliens are simply beyond the reach of humans. The purer a human is, the more powerless they are when dealing with you... We must become beings that transcend humanity."
Although he knew it wasn't the right time, Deep Sea King couldn't help but be intimidated by the increasingly terrifying aura of the "Unlicensed Hero": "What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
"I'm not human anymore, Deep Sea King!"
A roar powerful enough to tear eardrums swept in, accompanied by gale-force winds and sonic booms. Half of the Deep Sea King's massive body, which was larger than a human's, vanished instantly. Crushed flesh and bones, along with pale fragments, were scattered in the hundreds of meters behind it, leaving only its lower body with two legs still in place.

After the Deep Sea King incident, the "Unlicensed Heroes" who demonstrated great strength during the process were directly promoted from the bottom of C-rank to the middle of S-rank. Of course, this had nothing to do with Lin Yi, who had already completed the experiment and confirmed the results. He had already returned to the laboratory to begin his upcoming "big plan".
"This experiment confirms that side quests completed by main characters do not yield rewards, regardless of whether they accept transmigrators as employers. The only way to get rewards is to have the main characters complete all the previous steps and leave the last step for the transmigrators to complete. Of course, doing so will also result in the transmigrators' insufficient contribution to the mission and a significant reduction in the rewards they receive."
For this reason, the Transmigrator Alliance did not adopt a similar score-farming strategy. Otherwise, wouldn't it have been wonderful if each transmigrator had simply seized a world and coerced the natives to help them farm points?
The truth is, the natives can't offer much help to the transmigrators except for generating missions, which is why they are in an awkward position in the transmigrators' alliance. The same goes for the armed detective girls that Lin Yi hired before. After realizing that there was not much room for maneuver in this way of scoring points, he simply had them switch to obtaining the body tissue of monsters.
However, this experiment using indigenous people successfully solved the problem.
"Under the subjective actions of the main characters, the transmigrators cannot gain any benefits from the side quests they help complete. But what if the main characters' own initiative is suppressed to the extreme, and they become 'controlled' by the transmigrators?"
In the Deep Sea King incident, the true unlicensed hero did not experience the entire battle. His subjective consciousness was suppressed to the extreme after being hit by "Deep Sea Bite," and what surfaced in his superficial consciousness was the instinct of "hunger" to devour alien energy. The reason why he behaved so strangely after "coming back to life" was because Lin Yi had inputted the disguise function into "hunger" during the modification process. Otherwise, an individual that sticks out its tongue, drools, and bites at monster mutants would be more likely to be another monster or mutant than a hero protecting humanity.
Clearly, the disguise was successful.
Until the "hunger" that surfaced in the shallow consciousness killed and devoured the Deep Sea King, and then submerged into the deep consciousness again, the consciousness that truly belonged to the Unlicensed Hero once again took control of the body. Throughout this entire process, no one realized that his body had once been controlled by the "Alien." Instead, everyone thought that the Unlicensed Hero had erupted in the Desperate Zone and killed the Deep Sea King.
The most important experimental result in this process was that Lin Yi received the reward of killing the Deep Sea King.
"The transmigrator does not receive rewards for completing tasks created by characters in the main storyline, but the transmigrator does receive rewards if those characters, who are controlled by creations made by the transmigrator, complete tasks..."
Of course, some might think that since they can come up with a way to manipulate characters in the story to help them complete their missions, wouldn't it be simpler to just create other characters that can directly help time travelers complete their missions?
Theoretically, that's how it is, but *Wo Jiuling Wu (III) Ba Qi Ying III If it's just to complete the "Main God Space" mission, Lin Yi doesn't even need anything other than himself. Whether it's the enhancement that has reached the level of "Atomic Burst Fist" or the "Singularity Reversal" that is close to LV6, he can easily seize a large number of points. There is no need to waste time doing these things.
Essentially, everything Ling does after arriving in this world is consistent with her purpose in the previous world.
"In a closed world, the rules, settings, and world principles of the so-called plot world are even more complex, including the operational judgment criteria of the 'Main God Space'..."
Looking into the distance, a faint black vortex seemed poised to devour everything.
"They are all poorly made, unfinished products."
Information Integration Thought System: Chapter 610 The Era of National Heroes (4)
The once-suspended "hero creation" program has been restarted. With the "signature" of the unlicensed hero being promoted from C-rank to S-rank being put up, even the most ignorant person will hear from others how this hero was transformed.
Naturally, this led to the spread of the "penguin" and "heroic imagery".
However, unlike the previous project where every participant had to come in person to undergo the transformation, the second phase of the "Hero Shaping" project is more accurately described as an "injection" rather than a "transformation."
The second phase of the "Hero Creation" program no longer requires physical organ transplantation, and even the cell implantation process is omitted. After receiving applications from people who want to participate in the program, "Penguin" directly distributes a vial of medicine to each person, which can be taken orally or injected to take effect.
Admittedly, this approach saves a lot of time and resources, reducing the high cost of "hero creation" to a level that is acceptable to most people, but it also makes many people feel confused or even dissatisfied.
After all, the unlicensed hero who is now almost a celebrity did not receive such a joke-like injection and ingestion, but rather a genuine nineteen-item transformation project.
After noticing this situation, some people who were dissatisfied because they could not afford the fees even suggested that it was just a way to appease them. Lin Yi's response to this situation was quite direct.
"The price of the basic 'hunger' drug will be increased by 500% on the original basis, and a tiered enhancement system will be introduced."
"Graded reinforcement?"
Aria instinctively looked up when she first heard the word.
"Consumption thresholds are set for different consumer groups. Those who are willing to pay higher prices can get better quality... well, that is, a drug with a higher density of 'starved' cells, while those who are not willing to pay higher prices are given diluted drugs."
The armed detective girl hesitated upon hearing this: "Wouldn't that just provoke them even more?"
No, quite the opposite.
Lin Yi calmly dripped a drop of murky "hunger" onto a petri dish as tall as a person, then added pure water: "People are dissatisfied because they can't get goods commensurate with their status. Letting those who can afford higher prices get what they consider 'high-quality products' will shut them up; letting those who can't afford high-priced goods discover their existence will give them a goal—that will also shut them up; as for those who have no purchasing power at all yet frantically stir up trouble..."
Looking at the completed "potion" in front of him, Lin Yi smiled: "Since they want to participate in this 'plan' so much, I can't bear to refuse them, can I?"
Having realized the "essence" of these worlds within closed systems, Lin Yi no longer needed to worry about many things. If every life form outside the closed system has its value, and they can be allowed to exist to obtain value when unnecessary, then if Lin Yi was not mistaken, everything within this closed system—whether alive or dead—has no value whatsoever.
There's no need to worry about these "things" that have no value whatsoever.

"right here."
Central District, in front of Penguin Company.
Because the "Hero Creation" project has shifted from physical modification to a potion-based system, the long queues that used to appear frequently are now a thing of the past. After all, these items can be purchased in stores outside (and thanks to the advertising effect of unlicensed heroes, no one would refuse to have such products displayed in stores), so why bother coming all the way here to queue?
When the two time travelers arrived, they saw a "penguin" sign that, despite the large number of people, was still legible.
They waited patiently in the short line for a while. When the receptionist, Riko Mine, noticed them, her expression stiffened. Not far behind them, Rei silently gripped the armored daggers that Lin Yi had given each of them during his spare time.
Just as the attack was about to break out, a sound suddenly came.
"Let them in."
After a slight hesitation, the girl put away her weapon, put on a smile again, and walked towards the two time travelers.
In the next few minutes, Mine Riko realized that she had been overly sensitive.
With the "Cult of Restoration" and the "Organization of Equality" locked in a fierce battle, aside from newcomers who were completely unaware of what was happening, few people would be wandering around at this time. Clearly, the two transmigrators who had arrived were such newcomers, and they were there specifically for Lin Yi's powerful modification technology that could transform C-rank heroes into S-rank heroes.
Upon meeting Lin Yi, the two time travelers made no attempt to conceal their purpose.
"We confirmed your identity through the otherworldly mercenaries you hired."
"The main god's enhancement? Of course, we'd like to too, but to obtain the power of an S-class hero through the main god's enhancement would require an investment of at least 100,000 reward points. The two of us currently only have around 30,000 reward points combined. And the upcoming Boros storyline is difficult, so we were wondering if we could learn from a senior who's a veteran..."
"No, no, no, we don't need the potion. Of course, we believe in the authenticity of that potion, after all, so many natives have used it and it worked for them. But we need a way to enhance our strength in a short time."
"Money? We haven't deliberately collected money in this world, so we hope to exchange it for something else."
Hearing this, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "For example?"
"Reward points".
The two transmigrators' choice was not complicated. Compared to the main god enhancement that required 100,000 reward points, they could obtain equivalent enhancement with Lin Yi at a lower cost. Lin Yi's subsequent remarks were indeed as they expected, and the conditions were even more favorable than they had anticipated.
“No problem, you can choose any enhancement system available in the God Space from me, and I will only charge 20% of the price required by the God Space.”
Amidst the surprised yet hesitant and confused gazes of the two transmigrators, Lin Yi explained, "I believe you are aware of the original storyline's quest about the unlicensed hero. Back then, I gave him a free enhancement with a certain gambling mentality, and now the effect is just as you see. Even if I do nothing, I still have plenty of business coming to me."
"So, the senior expert means you want us to help you promote it?"
"That's right, that's why I'm giving you such a big discount, and you should know the target audience for this promotion."
The two time travelers then realized what was going on.
"I understand. After the enhancement is complete, I will recommend more transmigrators to come here."
