After a familiar system prompt, Feng Bujue arrived at the "Safe House" in the Free Exploration Mode once again.

Since the last time he left this universe was still from the Hero Dormitory, he reappeared in the bathroom of room z250 this time.

"Hmm... what was I doing before I left last time..." Before Feng Bujue walked out of the bathroom, he first recalled his experience in this world last time, "Oh, right... Park Star."

Soon, that memory became clear...

The last time he came here, Feng Bujue and Flea-Man, Banana-Lover, Cella Jiong, and Green Meteor, four planet-level heroes, went to "Park Star" together and intervened in the mixed battle between the "Bear Kid Star People," the "Square Dance Star People," and the "Beggar Star People."

The process of the mission will not be elaborated here. Anyway, the final result was... two wanted criminals of the Uchuuren: Regretful Boy and Bucktoothed Aunt, were both arrested in a half-dead state.

Before those heroes returned to the Uchuuren, Motobe Taizan, a martial arts expert known as the "Park Wargod," expressed a strong desire to communicate and exchange ideas with Feng Bujue, so... this guy shamelessly followed along.

"Speaking of which, is it really okay to let that park sleeper come along..." Feng Bujue muttered as he walked out of the bathroom, "Although he is not a wanted criminal, he still has strength close to that of a planet-level hero. If this guy makes a big fuss here, the damage caused will probably be considerable..."

His worry was also Frog-Man's worry.

And Frog-Man was an infallible man... therefore, he, who had been monitoring Jue-Ge, had already deployed everything when the "Huarongdao" spaceship returned.

Simply put, Frog-Man's countermeasure against Motobe Taizan was: with precautions in place, he could try to develop him into a hero. If it didn't work, he should try to maintain a relatively friendly relationship with him. In short, try not to push this kind of person into the opposing camp.

Ding-dong—

"Eh?" Just as Feng Bujue sat down in front of the computer, ready to find some more missions to do, the doorbell of his room rang.

Jue-Ge didn't think much about it, walked to the door in a few steps, and opened the door casually.

At this time, there were two people standing outside the door, one of whom was Motobe Taizan, and the other was Flea-Man, who had performed a mission with Jue-Ge not long ago.

"Hmm..." Feng Bujue squinted his eyes when he saw Motobe, "He really came..."

"Hehe..." Motobe smiled at him, "I came over as soon as I finished treatment."

"What about you?" Feng Bujue turned his head to look at Flea-Man again.

"I'm monitoring Motobe." Flea-Man immediately replied in his high-pitched voice.

"Hey, hey..." Jue-Ge couldn't see the expression on Flea-Man's face when he said these words (Flea-Man didn't have obvious facial features), but he still looked at the other party and continued, "You said it in front of him..."

"Ha!" The next second, Motobe took over and said, "There's nothing to hide in the first place, and I don't mind..." While speaking, Motobe also showed a little smug look, "This just proves that I am the kind of strong person who needs 'planet-level heroes to follow and guard against' throughout the entire process."

"Strong my ass... you didn't see those two dancing Indian Asan..." Feng Bujue immediately complained in his heart, but he didn't say that, he just continued, "So... what do you want from me?"

"Hmm..." Motobe pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Pokerface, actually I just think... you have a lot of talent in fighting. I want to make friends with you and study and discuss the theory of practical martial arts together."

"Ha?" Feng Bujue said, "Just for this..."

"Yeah, otherwise?" Motobe asked suspiciously.

"What do you mean 'otherwise?'" Feng Bujue replied in a matter-of-course tone, "If you want me to say... I can list more than a dozen more sufficient motivations. For example, you, the park sleeper, don't have medical insurance, so you want to follow us over to get some medical services; or you want to use the means of bumping into someone to extort a pension from the Uchuuren; there is also the possibility... you are a spy sent by the Universe Homeless Alliance to infiltrate our army..."

"Uh..." Motobe's expression became a little awkward when he heard this, "Heh... hehe..." He laughed dryly and responded, "I haven't heard of the 'Universe Homeless Alliance' or anything like that, and I certainly wouldn't do anything like bumping into someone, but..." He scratched his head, "I was seriously injured and needed treatment from you, that's true."

Motobe was still a relatively honest person, or rather... no matter what his situation was, he still retained the self-respect of a martial artist; therefore, after Jue-Ge mentioned it, he admitted his medical sponging with some shame.

"Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed." Two seconds later, Flea-Man opened his mouth to smooth things over for Motobe, "There hasn't been any particularly big crisis in the last few hundred cosmic years (one cosmic year is about fifty-two hours), and we have plenty of medical resources; we won't stand idly by even for criminals, let alone you."

It was not difficult to see from his words that... Frog-Man had already communicated with him.

Flea-Man was a planet-level hero with great strength, seniority, and reliability in his work; plus he happened to have intersected with Motobe in this operation, so Frog-Man directly assigned him the task of defending against and wooing Motobe.

"Then you're healed now, so go back to Park Star, you don't need to come to me on purpose, right?" After a few seconds, Feng Bujue said to Motobe again, and then he was about to reach out and close the door.

"Wait!" At this time, Motobe quickly stopped him, "I know... you are a galaxy-level hero, you may feel that I am not qualified to discuss martial arts with you, right? It doesn't matter... I'll show you something..." As he said that, he put his hand into his collar.
