153: Chapter 153 Wan Chaoren's Superpowers
"Emergency plan?"
Wang Puchuan paused slightly, recalling for a moment.
It seemed he had proposed a while ago that if the situation became uncontrollable after all the criminals were thrown in,
they would secretly operate and air-drop a special item that could waive one point consumption, thereby allowing the summoner to summon Wan Chaoren to enter and save the situation.
But at that time, he had envisioned that the criminals would disobey orders and wantonly slaughter innocent civilians, causing the participants to be few before the event had even officially begun.
In such a situation, letting Wan Chaoren appear would clear out those uncontrollable criminals and ensure the event could proceed normally.
But the current situation, where all criminals were wiped out in just a few minutes, was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"Lao Ge, do you intend to enter now? This pre-event has only just begun."
Wang Puchuan objected,
"You are the trump card of our G District Hero Association; if you go in now, it will be hard to carry out the subsequent activities."
At this moment, the Branch President couldn't help but interject, his expression grave:
"Previously, the drones failed to capture the specific combat footage, and we still know nothing about that person's situation."
"Whether it was his ability to blast open the mechanical chamber before, or solving multiple criminals including two A-rank criminals in a short time now, the opponent's combat power must not be underestimated."
"Entering rashly at this time carries significant risks..."
Before the Branch President could finish his sentence, he felt a chilling aura wash over him.
He looked up and saw Wan Chaoren staring at him coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure:
"Are you implying that I can't win?"
"Uh... of course that's not what I meant, it's just the opponent's intelligence information..."
The Branch President hadn't expected his subconscious remark to anger Wan Chaoren, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
Wang Puchuan smoothed things over at this moment:
"Of course we believe in your strength, Lao Ge. Even in their prime, these criminals would be vulnerable trash when facing you."
"Not to mention that they have been restricted from using their Special Ability in Prison City for too long, and their strength has long since regressed significantly."
"It's just that now is really not the right time to enter. If we let you in now, you could certainly kill that guy immediately, but there are still nearly two days until the official start."
"Are we supposed to just let you be exposed to the live broadcast view and wander around for the rest of the time?"
Wan Chaoren thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.
The Monster Hunting event, originally expected to last two days, only had one Monster left a few minutes after it started.
If he went in now, he would have to stay until the event ended.
After crushing that ant, there would indeed be nothing else to do.
As for slaughtering civilians to relieve boredom like other criminals, he couldn't do that while being broadcast live.
This was not only to maintain his usual public image but also because of his Special Ability.
Few people knew the true nature of Wan Chaoren's Special Ability.
Most people believed that Wan Chaoren's Special Ability was some kind of all-around physical enhancement, granting extended abilities such as flight, laser eyes, and super defense.
But in reality, his Special Ability, [Perfect Superman], allowed him to gain corresponding enhancements based on the belief of his fans.
Initially, it might have just been jumping very high, but more and more people began to firmly believe that Wan Chaoren could fly freely.
Thus, Wan Chaoren gained the ability to fly in mid-air.
Initially, the opponents he encountered in battle might have been relatively weak, unable to cause him substantial harm.
With one battle after another, people became convinced that Wan Chaoren possessed indestructible defense.
Consequently, his defense was greatly enhanced again, making him almost immune to the vast majority of damage.
As his exploits spread wider and Wan Chaoren demonstrated his extraordinary strength before the public time and again, it created the Wan Chaoren of today, who had almost no shortcomings in any aspect.
This was why, among the heroes of the G District Hero Association, Wan Chaoren constantly accepted missions big and small like a model worker, ranking first in activity by a huge margin.
And it was also why... once a stain that could affect his image appeared, Wan Chaoren would not hesitate to wipe everyone out to eliminate the hidden danger.
Furthermore, his abilities could be further strengthened when he was being watched by his fans.
"This time, I must truly crush this ant to death!" Wan Chaoren thought viciously to himself.
To be honest, the battle record Chen Moxuan had displayed now made him feel a bit nervous.
He knew deeply that in the eyes of his fans, he must always maintain an invincible posture.
If he suffered even the slightest loss at the hands of Chen Moxuan and failed to achieve total dominance, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to his public image.
Once his image was damaged, his Special Ability would also be greatly affected, and its power would be significantly reduced.
Currently, the live broadcast of the pre-event was limited to the G District, and it had only just begun, with very few people watching.
In a while, when the number of viewers increased, his all-around abilities could be boosted again by one or two times.
"As long as the official event hasn't started, the probability of that bunch from the Superpower Association noticing this place is minimal."
Wan Chaoren pondered in his heart.
What he was truly anxious about was to completely eliminate Chen Moxuan before the Superpower Association discovered his identity as an Other-Soul Being.
"Let that ant jump around for a while longer, and I'll enter when there are enough viewers for the live broadcast." He made his decision in his heart.
Seeing that Wan Chaoren remained silent and was no longer urgently demanding to enter,
Wang Puchuan breathed a sigh of relief.
For his own purposes, he absolutely could not let Wan Chaoren enter at this moment.
He continued to strike while the iron was hot and persuaded:
"Rest assured, Lao Ge, that kid won't get away."
"He definitely won't be able to escape from within the barrier. Once the official event begins and a large number of heroes, including you, enter, this kid will have no way to survive."
"Moreover, before that, he might already be dead at the hands of those with no Special Ability."
Wan Chaoren was slightly stunned upon hearing this and asked:
"What do you mean?"
Even if he looked down on Chen Moxuan, he didn't think the other party would die at the hands of people without Special Ability, who were even less than ants.
Wang Puchuan chuckled and explained unhurriedly:
"I pay great attention to the balance of the game rules. Regardless, a large number of Transcendent have joined the event this time."
"Of course, we also have to give those with no Special Ability some opportunities."
"I specially requested a few little gadgets that Lord [Dream Box] made casually, and I threw them into the points mall; the redemption cost isn't too high or too low."
"If these weapons are used when the opponent is completely off guard, they are enough to pierce the defense of an A-rank Reinforcement Type Special Ability user!"
Wang Puchuan smiled meaningfully,
"That kid doesn't realize at all what a huge temptation the 10,000 points represented by his head is to those participants."
"In the face of huge benefits, human nature is the most difficult thing to fathom, especially when a large group of people gathers together."
