Chapter 4

On the way, Saitama couldn't help but feel exhausted as he watched Yaze closely following behind him. It seemed that this "accident faker" had decided to stick to him.

"Listen, I'm really broke, and I live in the super dangerous Z City. Are you sure you want to come live at my place?"

Saitama frantically scratched his head, trying to scare Yaze away with this gesture.

But he was overthinking it. Although Z City was full of monsters, as long as Saitama, the "Monster Hunter," lived there, it was undoubtedly the safest place in the world.

"By the way, don't you need to go to the hospital to check your condition?"

Yaze looked at Saitama, whose clothes were tattered and who was limping. If he remembered correctly, this guy had just been beaten up by the Crab Monster and had vomited blood several times.

But now he was planning to go home as if nothing had happened?

"Hospital? I don't have the money for such a fancy place. This minor injury can be bandaged up at home."

Saitama scratched his head again, making Yaze think that he would probably only realize how luxurious this common action was when he went bald.

"You've seen it, right? I'm super broke. If you live with me, you might have to eat bean sprouts every day."

Saitama tried to persuade Yaze, thinking that since Yaze was wearing designer clothes, he must not be able to endure hardship and might be convinced to leave.

"No problem, I have money!"

These simple five words were like a gospel to Saitama's ears, causing his attitude to instantly shift 180 degrees.

"You have money! How much?"

Saitama instantly ran to Yaze's side, completely forgetting his limping, which he had probably been faking for Yaze.

"Not much, but it should be enough for us to eat well for a year or two."

Yaze had planned his runaway in advance, so he had prepared sufficient funds.

As the most pampered younger brother in the family, Dragon and Frost had given Yaze plenty of pocket money.

"Boss, please come to my humble abode!"

If they could eat well for a year or two, wouldn't saving a bit allow them to eat for three to five years?

It turned out that he hadn't met an accident faker but had hooked up with a rich guy.

Saitama's attitude changed completely after hearing that Yaze had money. He was now enthusiastically leading the way, not mentioning anything about making Yaze leave.

Even if Yaze wanted to leave now, Saitama would probably cling to his leg and beg the rich guy to stay.

There was no choice; Saitama, who had just been laid off, was already in a dire situation. If things continued like this, he might not even be able to pay the rent.

Following Saitama to his rental apartment, they arrived at a dilapidated building. Due to the frequent appearance of monsters, the building had become a half-finished project, and most of the tenants had moved out.

Saitama chose this place not because he was brave but because it was cheap.

Climbing up to Saitama's apartment, Yaze looked around. The scene was just like in the anime.

Although it wasn't very large, it should be more than enough for two people to live in.

"How about it, boss? This is my rental room. It's not big, but it's fully equipped."

Saitama, who hadn't gone bald yet, still had some expression on his face. He looked at Yaze with a hint of anxiety.

If the rich guy didn't like his rental room and left, what would he do?

But to Saitama's relief, Yaze had no excessive requirements for the room and simply said, "Not bad."

"Boss, about the accommodation and food expenses, shouldn't you pay in advance..."

Saitama looked at Yaze and rubbed his hands, the meaning clear.

It had to be said that imagining the future bald and expressionless Saitama doing this gesture, it didn't feel out of place at all.

"Call me Yaze. Here's our living expenses for the next while."

Yaze took out a large wad of cash. With Saitama as his super bodyguard, Yaze felt this money was well spent.

After Saitama got the money, he immediately went out, saying they would celebrate Yaze's move with a big hot pot dinner.

After Saitama left, Yaze finally had time to use the system.

Since he didn't know if using the system would cause any changes to his body, he hadn't dared to draw cards outside.

Now that Saitama was out and he was alone in the room, Yaze entered the system and planned to use the "three" card-drawing opportunities.

Since the situation couldn't be changed, he could only accept it silently. Getting more cards would increase his chances of survival.

After entering the system, Yaze first saw his character information.

Name: Yaze

Level: Zero-Star Hero

Character Card Slot: One (Empty)

Skill Card Slot: One (Empty)

Equipment Card Slot: None

Hero Points: None

Yaze's character information was very simple, just a few lines of text, with no explanations.

But Yaze wasn't surprised. He knew his system was a piece of junk with no user-friendly settings.

Combining the little information the system had given, it was clear that these so-called "card slots" were for equipping the drawn cards.

Moreover, the number of slots was displayed, indicating that this number could increase.

As for how to increase it, Yaze guessed it was related to his "level." He was currently a "Zero-Star Hero," and it was likely that he would become a "One-Star," "Two-Star," etc., in the future.

As for how to level up and what the "Hero Points" were for, Yaze had no idea.

After thinking for a long time without any results, Yaze finally decided to draw the cards first.

The card-drawing operation was simple. Entering the card-drawing interface, Yaze saw three black cards floating in 3D.

The three cards were face down, seemingly requiring Yaze to flip them manually.

Since this low-end system had no instructions, Yaze had to try everything. Fortunately, his guess was correct.

Yaze easily flipped the first card, and a white light flashed as the first card was revealed.

The card depicted a character, clearly a "Character Card." This made Yaze overjoyed because among the three types of cards, the "Character Card" was the best.

A character could possess multiple skills and even have a bloodline, providing the strongest boost to strength.

However, when Yaze saw who the character on the card was, his smile froze.

The character on the card was a chubby little boy wearing a brown sweater, flexing his bicep.

Character Card: Fattie (from Doraemon)

Skill: Bully (50% increased intimidation effect on children)

Ps: I, Fattie, always lead by example!
