Chapter 5

What the hell is this "winning by virtue"! Wasn't it said that the [Character Card] is the strongest?

Now, what the hell is this "Fat Tiger"? And this ridiculous skill. Will equipping this kind of card enhance my abilities?

Is it supposed to make Yaze become a kid king and snatch lollipops from little girls!

"No, I have to stay calm. Getting a bad draw on the first try is normal. I still have two more chances. As long as I can draw a stronger [Character Card], my self-preservation ability will greatly increase."

Yaze desperately told himself to stay calm, the main event is still to come. Then he extended his trembling hand and flipped over the second card.

The second card depicted a straw hat, clearly a [Prop Card]. Yaze couldn't wait to read the description.

Prop Card: Luffy's Straw Hat

Effect: Increase charisma (from the One Piece world, the hat given by Roger to Shanks, and then to Luffy.)

Ps: Wearing this straw hat, you might win the heart of the Pirate King and become the Pirate King's "man."

Seeing the description and effect of the straw hat, Yaze almost wanted to flip the table in his mind, because it was full of "tragedies."

Are you kidding me, becoming the Pirate King's "man"? Hell, if I have to be, I'd rather be the Pirate King's woman, or better yet, be the Pirate King myself.

"No way, no hope, this system looks not only low but also quite deceptive."

Two consecutive draws, and both were useless. Yaze began to lose hope in the third card.

When Yaze walked over and flipped the last card, a bright light almost blinded him.

Just by the special effect, this must be a good draw. Yaze quickly and excitedly looked at what he had drawn this time.

The card depicted a man with tied-up hair, sitting on the ground with a long sword in his hand.

Character Card: Swift Swordmaster · Yasuo (Zero Star)

(A swordmaster from Ionia, the only one to master the "Wind Style Sword Technique," but was exiled for being misunderstood as the murderer of an elder.)

Skill: Wind Style Sword Technique

Ps: Death is like the wind, always at my side.

"Wow, it's really a good draw, it's actually Yasuo!"

Yaze naturally recognized Yasuo, after all, in his previous life, he was also a bit of a otaku and played games quite often.

Although Yasuo's "wanderer's way" and his "coward's way" are ideologically incompatible, the system didn't say that the [Character Card] would affect personality, so Yaze quickly pulled "Yasuo" into the card slot.

With "Yasuo" embedded in the card slot, Yaze could feel the changes in himself.

For example, he seemed to be able to sense the flow of the wind around him, his senses became more acute, and his physical attributes improved.

In addition, various techniques of the [Wind Style Sword Technique] appeared in Yaze's mind, as if they were originally his.

Techniques like Steel Tempered Slash, Wind Wall, Quick Slash, and Gale Slash were clearly rehearsed in Yaze's mind, as if he could now use these skills with ease.

Moreover, Yaze's originally weak superpowers, when combined with Yasuo's "Wind" ability, complemented each other well.

Before, Yaze, with his mediocre sword skills and almost negligible superpowers, was probably at the upper level of "Wolf Level" in terms of strength.

But now, with the "Swift Swordmaster" card equipped, Yaze's strength was at least at the upper level of "Tiger Level," a full level higher.

Furthermore, Yaze noticed that unlike "Fat Tiger," the "Swift Swordmaster" card had a [Zero Star] mark on the back, indicating that there was room for improvement.

Although Yaze didn't know the method yet, he would eventually figure it out.

By the time Yaze finished sorting everything out, Saitama, who had gone out, returned, carrying a lot of vegetables and beef.

"Hey, Yaze, why do I feel different from before?"

Should I say, it's no wonder he's the [Child of the World]? Even though Saitama is still weak, he has already keenly noticed that Yaze is different from before.

"Don't you know that everyone is constantly changing? Don't think your hair is so lush now, but it might fall out one day."

Because of drawing the "Swift Swordmaster," Yaze's mood improved, and he joked with Saitama.

"How is that possible! I still need this beautiful hair to attract girls, besides, my body is so healthy, how could I lose my hair?"

Saitama dismissed Yaze's words with a sneer. He's not a programmer or a novelist, so he couldn't just randomly go bald.

"By the way, Yaze, after today's events, I plan to train myself. I want to be a hero out of interest. Do you want to join me?"

Saitama fished a piece of beef out of the hot pot, wincing from the heat, but still didn't forget to ask Yaze if he wanted to join his training plan.

"Your so-called rigorous training... Isn't it 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, a 10-kilometer run, no air conditioning in winter or summer, and a banana in the morning?"

Yaze asked tentatively, but Saitama looked at him with a shocked expression.

"Can you read minds? I just came up with this training plan on my way to the supermarket, how did you know?"

Seeing Saitama's surprised expression, Yaze had a "I knew it" look. Saitama indeed broke his limits through this "rigorous training" and became the strongest in the world.

But for others, using Saitama's training method is useless. Yaze himself was one of the experimenters not long ago.

There's no way, after all, he is the [Child of the World], and he can cheat with justification, while others don't have this privilege.

"Speaking of which, how did you know my training plan? Do you really have mind-reading powers?"

While Yaze was thinking, Saitama scooped all the meat from the hot pot into his bowl, leaving a few floating vegetables for Yaze.

"There's no such thing as mind-reading, I just did it before."

Yaze naturally saw Saitama's little trick, but he didn't care. After all, unlike Saitama, he eats well and drinks well at home.

"Oh, how was the effect?"

Saitama looked at Yaze expectantly, trying to read the answer from his expression.

"The effect was naturally very good, getting stronger every day!"

For the sake of future thick thighs, Yaze had to lie with a straight face. Actually, he wasn't lying, since this training really worked for Saitama.

"Alright, let's follow this training plan. But the other training requirements, Yaze, you thought of the same things as me, but why no air conditioning in winter and summer?"

Saitama's training plan didn't include this. Winter is one thing, but can humans endure no air conditioning in summer?

Yaze was taken aback by Saitama's words. Didn't the original Saitama tell Genos that this could train willpower?

Is there another reason? (Well, actually, Saitama couldn't afford the electricity bill, so he saved on air conditioning. But because of Yaze's interference, Saitama's financial crisis hasn't reached that point yet.)
