Chapter 13 Dynamic Vision and Reaction Speed

In terms of dynamic vision and reaction speed, Feng Bujue was definitely the fastest among these five heroes.

He was the first to catch sight of that black shadow, but... he didn't move.

There were two reasons for his inaction: first, the aftereffects of [Devil's Descent] had only just worn off, and he hadn't even had a chance to drink a sip of Survival Value supplement. Acting rashly with only 5% of his physical strength might lead to his inexplicable demise. Second... Brother Jue felt that the speed of that black shadow wasn't enough to pose a threat to Flea Rider.

*Boom*—

Sure enough, half a second later, Flea Rider calmly raised an arm, turned, and blocked... accurately stopping the black shadow's attack.

In that split second, Feng Bujue noticed... at the moment of the block, blue carapace appeared on Flea Rider's forearm again. It seemed that the subcutaneous secretion and solidification speed were controllable and could be very fast...

"See... what did I tell you?" Flea Rider maintained his blocking posture and calmly said to his teammates, "These guys are just like that... they attack without warning."

The black shadow, after failing in its attack, seemed to realize that Flea Rider's strength was above its own. Thus, it retracted its momentum and backflipped, stopping several meters away.

At this moment, its appearance was revealed to everyone—it was a humanoid creature wrapped in black rags (or at least it looked like cloth), with only its hands and eyes exposed. Its figure was tall and burly, exuding an imposing aura, but its body emitted a foul, musty odor that couldn't be concealed, causing people to avert their gaze.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on the territory of the 'Give Gang'?" Two seconds later, the black-robed man shouted loudly, using an authentic jianghu (martial world) tone.

"What 'Give Gang'?" Feng Bujue couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"Give Gang!" the other party repeated loudly, immediately extending a large, long leg from under his black robe.

Then, he reached out and parted his dark, dense, knotted leg hair, revealing a tattoo on his thigh.

The tattoo consisted of three English letters (the Begging Star People used standard English)—g.A.y.

"Great! Abstemious! yooooo..." After showing off his tattoo, the guy shouted their gang's slogan.

Feng Bujue stared at him for two seconds, then... quickly drank a sip of supplement to calm his nerves.

"Hmph! Scared now, are you?" The black-robed man saw Brother Jue's expression and said smugly, "If you know what's good for you, get lost and don't approach our territory!"

Flea Rider snorted disdainfully at this demand.

Before he could speak, Green Meteor stepped forward and pointed at the "Give Gang" man, saying, "Enough nonsense! This is the U Super League on official business, so don't stand in our way."

"Huh?" Upon hearing the words "U Super League," the black-robed man was instantly startled and took three steps back. "U... Universe Super Hero League?"

"Hehe..." Gluttony stepped forward as well, smiling, "That's right."

"Tch..." The black-robed man continued, "You say you are, but are you really? What proof do you have that you're heroes from the U Super League?"

"Hmph... of course we have proof..." Sera Jiong said coldly, pressing forward aggressively, "But is it necessary to show it to the likes of you?"

"Forget it, it doesn't hurt to show him." Flea Rider was more composed. After thinking for a moment, he stepped to the front again and flashed his [Hero ID Card] in front of the black-robed man. "If you know what's what, go and inform your gang's big shots. We're just passing through... as long as you don't obstruct us, we can all live in peace."

Hero ID Cards had embossed seals, and the black-robed man's eyesight was obviously excellent, so he immediately saw the words "Planet-Level" (by the way, although Feng Bujue's authority was already Galaxy-Level, his card hadn't been updated, and the seal on his card was still "City-Level").

"Um..." The black-robed man pondered for a moment and replied, "Alright... I'll go report." He paused. "We don't want to mess with 'Planet-Level Heroes'."

With that, he darted back into the forest on the highland, just like when he arrived... disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"A Planet-Level Hero scared him back..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Enemies in a Class C crisis are ultimately not strong enough... but... the name 'gAy Gang' is quite shocking..." Thinking of this, he suddenly realized, "Speaking of which, in this universe, all kinds of bizarre characters and names are endless... basically, for every five characters you encounter, there's bound to be one ridiculous guy mixed in..."

To be honest... upon further reflection, Brother Jue encountered almost all such characters on Shoulder-Shrugging Star and Zha Zha Zha Zha Star... a one-in-five chance might even be an underestimate.

"Don't trust him too much, the Begging Star People aren't known for their credibility," Flea Rider said, reminding them after the black-robed man had left for a dozen seconds.

"Don't worry, I know them well," Sera Jiong replied, "Before joining the U Super League, I spent some time at the Urban Management Star People's training camp, and we often had conflicts with the Begging Star People back then."

"Hey hey..." Green Meteor interjected, "Are you sure that can be called a 'conflict'?"

"Heh... that's right," Sera Jiong said, "In the face of a fighting race like the Urban Management Star People, the Begging Star People usually only get beaten."

The group chatted as they followed Flea Rider into the "Shady Highland."

This was a patch of blue land, the blue of blueberries...

And the main component of this color was—plants.

Because Park Star's atmospheric environment, affiliated star, and the conditions of its soil were quite different from Earth, the natural scenery here was also very different from Earth.

Here, there was orange sunlight, yellow clouds, blue plants, and red water sources...

Of course, the aforementioned colors were not absolute, but broadly speaking... just like the plants on Earth are not all green.

"Um... even though he said to 'slow down,' he's still walking pretty fast..." Not long after entering the highland, Feng Bujue began to experience physical problems. He thought to himself, "I don't have to worry about Survival Value for the time being, but physical strength can't be restored with supplements... if I keep up with his pace, I'll have to collapse again in another minute."

At this point, it was impossible for Feng Bujue to suggest, "Let's rest here for a while." He could only think of other ways.

However... there weren't many options left.

"Am I supposed to shave my head here?" Brother Jue wondered. "No... it's better to find an excuse to temporarily leave the team."

Just as he was about to unleash his ultimate technique, the "shit evasion," something happened ahead.

"Ah—" A scream came from dozens of meters away.

Flea Rider paused at the sound, then turned to scan his teammates, exchanged glances with the other heroes (mainly him looking at them, since others couldn't see any expression on his face), nodded, and rushed forward.

Green Meteor, Gluttony, and Sera Jiong followed closely, while Feng Bujue... lagged behind, chasing after them with faltering steps and heavy breathing.

Fortunately, the other heroes were focused on the situation at hand and didn't notice Brother Jue's obvious fatigue.

Seconds later, Flea Rider arrived at the source of the scream and saw a Begging Star Person groaning on the ground.

"Y-you... who are you?" The Begging Star Person looked at Flea Rider with surprise and doubt, but he couldn't run because his waist was clamped by a ring-shaped energy trap. Not only was he unable to move, but he was also bleeding...

As he asked in panic, the other four arrived one after another and witnessed this scene.

Only now did Feng Bujue truly see the appearance of the "Begging Star People" (the previous Give Gang thug was wrapped up too tightly)—chestnut-shaped heads, skinny V-shaped bodies, long arms with three joints, and a pair of large, rugged legs.

Compared to the guy with thick leg hair that made people want to burn it off, this Begging Star Person caught in the trap was bare; he only wore a small short jacket and mid-length pants, and the rest of his exposed parts were bald, without a single hair in sight.

It was worth mentioning that... this brother also had a tattoo on his leg, and the tattoo read—f.A.g.

"Don't panic, we're heroes from the U Super League," Flea Rider said as he used his bare hands to destroy the "photon trap" for the other person. "You're from the 'Fay Gang,' right?" He looked at the other's tattoo and asked.

"U Super League?" The Begging Star Person didn't respond to Flea Rider's question, but repeated the words softly and muttered, "What's the U Super League doing here..."

"Ah! Crap!" Suddenly, his expression changed. He didn't finish his sentence, but turned and ran.

The Begging Star People seemed to be quite agile. This brother, despite his injuries, still used very nimble and quick movements to dash and leap... into the nearby woods.

Then, a series of messy footsteps sounded from that direction, accompanied by shouts from several different voices.

"There! It's a Fay Gang member!"

"Damn it! He must be here to steal change again!"

"Quick, chase him! He's injured, he can't run far!"

"Catch him! Spank his soles!"

This dialogue, which was painful to even listen to, became quieter and quieter, indicating that the people speaking were also moving further and further away...

Feng Bujue stared with dead fish eyes, his mouth twitching, and muttered, "I really regret not reading the mission's background information before coming..."

…………

At the same moment, U Super League Headquarters, in a certain control room.

*Buzz buzz buzz*—

The sound of a "light curtain door" opening announced that someone had entered the room.

"I just changed the password to this room's door a universe week ago," Frog Rider said without turning his head. Clearly, he didn't need to look to know who it was.

"Hehe..." Foil Rider smiled and walked toward Frog Rider. "If you don't want me to come in, you should use a lock that I can't crack."

"Such as?" Frog Rider replied.

"On Earth, there's something called a door bolt," Foil Rider smiled. "Have you heard of it?"

"Are you referring to that primitive design that can only be locked from one side?" Frog Rider asked.

"Sometimes the most primitive designs are the most effective," Foil Rider spread his hands and said easily. "No matter how advanced the technology and knowledge we possess, the wisdom of our predecessors always has something to offer... the wise men of every era begin their thinking by standing on the shoulders of those who came before them, so humility should be a basic courtesy."

"Hmm... that makes sense," Frog Rider's eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him, and he said coldly, "Your words reminded me. I suddenly thought of a more primitive method of keeping you out."

"Oh? What is it?" Foil Rider asked curiously.

Frog Rider turned his face, looked at his friend with a blank expression, and said, one word at a time, "Get! Out!"

It seemed that the "primitive method" Frog Rider was talking about was simply telling the other person to leave.

"Hahahaha..." Foil Rider couldn't help but laugh. "Enwe, your sense of humor always surprises me." As he said this, his gaze moved to one of the screens in front of Frog Rider. "Hey... wait, what is this? A standard room in the hero dorms?"

The next second, Foil Rider suddenly revealed a "men understand" expression (let's face it, objectively speaking, this expression was a lecherous grin) and punched Frog Rider on the shoulder. "Hey! Enwe, I never saw you as this kind of person! Tell me! Which female hero's room is this? Toad Woman? Sexy Mayfly? Wait... could it be a male hero's room? You..."

"To be precise..." Frog Rider ignored Foil Rider's words and calmly continued, "This is Room Z250."

"Z250, if I remember correctly..." Foil Rider's brainpower was astonishing. The amount of information he could remember and retrieve was far beyond that of a human brain. "Poker Hero's room?"

"Yes," Frog Rider replied. "However, my focus isn't on his room right now, because, as you can see... he's not in the room, but on Park Star."

"That's what I was going to ask," Foil Rider immediately regained a serious expression and said, "Where did that other image come from?"

"I hacked Gluttony's battle armor. As long as he's wearing that helmet, I can see what he sees," Frog Rider replied nonchalantly.

"You're going too far with this..." Foil Rider squinted at the other party and said, "It's one thing to monitor Poker Hero, but to include everyone else..."

"Gua~" Frog Rider didn't let him finish, but interrupted (note that this "Gua" from Frog Rider isn't him trying to be cute; on his planet, it's the equivalent of humans saying "shush"). "Do you want to watch with me... or do you want to lecture me about principles?"

Foil Rider heard this, curled his lip, and simply dragged over a chair. "Just to be clear, I'm not responsible if something happens."
