Chapter 489: Gradation of Emergency (2)

“Don’t think you have accomplished much by killing Qiong Qiong Qiong Qiong, only a coward like Cuo Cuo Cuo Cuo would be scared away!” Ai Ai Ai Ai shouted. “Me, Ai Ai Ai Ai is on a completely different level from the two of them...”

“The whole sentence not only does not sound threatening in any way, it is filled with jibes at his allies...” Feng Bujue mumbled.

“This armor that I am wearing is one specially made for me by Prof Sui, compared to one those two wear... they are markedly different.” Ai Ai Ai Ai continued.

“So the difference is only in the armor...” Brother Jue replied, “What is so great about that... can that even be counted as your own ‘ability’? If anything, this is all the prof’s work! And... your armor is ‘custom-made’ because you are so short, isn’t it?”

“Hmph... I know, at this moment, you must be thinking, ‘If the three of us work together, we can still have a chance of defeating an opponent as strong as this one’, right?” Ai Ai Ai Ai continued to say.

“No...” Feng Bujue replied. “I believe Pi Li Dance Hero can handle you on his own just fine. Me and Tap Monster can be his back up dancers or something...” Ai Ai Ai Ai was still caught in his bubble and Brother Jue’s words had no effect on him. “Meh ha ha ha ha... But you have miscalculated! I have brought along the prof’s elite unit with me—IWNBB Mecha Robot Elite Battle Army!”

“What in the world is that...” Brother Jue narrowed his eyes and the urge to mock was already rising.

“For your information, IWNBB stands for I Will Never Be Back.” Ai Ai Ai Ai explained.

“Why not just called it the Terminated army? Even the creator knew this bunch of trash will not live to return, doesn’t he!” Feng Bujue roared.

“Meh ha ha ha... Are you feeling despair already, dumb superheroes?” Ai Ai Ai Ai laughed.

...

“Despair? That is so far from what I am feeling I don’t know what to say. Even I feel there is no hope for you anymore!” Feng Bujue already did not know what kind of expression to face the antagonists on this planet. At this point, one had to explain... even though the general tone of this whole universe is a bit parody-ish, it did not mean that all the aliens had low IQ... Feng Bujue was going through such a maddening journey for now due to the purposeful ‘arrangement’ by the system. After all, this was the first ‘quest’ that he encountered after he entered Free Exploration Mode, naturally the difficulty was going to be suitable for ‘beginners’. So... the enemies were all relatively dumb and it was easy to gain the trust of NPC. Put it like this... for this whole sequence, it would not have mattered if Brother Jue just stood to the side and watch. He could easily reach the next development of the plot and find his next safehouse. Of course, this was not limited to Feng Bujue, all the players of Thriller Paradise would experience something similar when they first entered Free Exploration Mode.

“We were at Grade B...” Feng Bujue said as he walked. By then he was testing his luck and walked at the front of the group.

“Oh right...” Pi Li Dance Hero added, “Grade B danger means ‘criminal activities that can destroy a whole galaxy’. Naturally USL will have to step in for events of this grade. The standard protocol is... a star-grade or above hero will lead a team to handle this. The team has to be more than 5 people. Other than specific situation like a certain superhero’s power was needed, normally a city-grade hero was not allowed to be a part of Grade B emergencies.” He paused for a few seconds before adding. “Then... it is Grade A events, or ‘great danger that might destroy multiple galaxies’, thankfully this does not happen that often. Based on Earth’s way of time calculation, it occurs in average once every 3 to 5 years.”

[Hey Hey... that is already much too frequent...] Feng Bujue thought to himself. Pi Li Dance Hero was still saying, “To be able to cause that kind of danger normally it is a group made up for many supervillain, or in special cases... where the individual could be someone like Frieza.”

[What... you don’t know the Avengers but you know Frieza?] Feng Bujue gasped in shock.

“Eh~ You’re from Earth right? So you should have read that manga.” Pi Li Dance Hero asked. “Bakira Toriyama’s Dragon Sign is a classic.”

[What in the world is that? Both the author’s name and the manga’s name have been butchered but the character name Frieza is the same?] Even though he had many things to say, Brother Jue still answered evenly on his lips. “Ah... I’ve browsed through some of them.”

“Ha ha... Sorry for leading the topic away.” Pi Li Dance Hero laughed. “In any case, the protocol to deal with Grade A event is normally a team lead by a universe-level superhero and the team will not be less than 10 people; other than specific situation, planet-level and city-level superheroes will not have the right to join.”

“Oh...” Feng Bujue nodded. “By the way, you said there were seven level, but from F to A, there are only 6... or you’re saying...’

“Indeed, there is a Grade S Emergency.” Pi Li Dance Hero confirmed. “Or... a tragedy large enough to cause the wipeout of all intelligent being in the whole universe.” At this point, Tap Monster added, “So far, there has only been one Grade S emergency... it was to deal with that even that the superheroes across the universe cooperated and the aftermath of that was the creation of USL.”

“Indeed.” Pi Li Dance Hero added, “The superheroes that survived that event are the first batch of members for USL’s highest committee.” He paused. “But that is a long story and there are many details that we are not privy to. We will talk about it in the future when we have more time.”

As they conversed, they had covered quite some distance. Soon, the three reached the office building of Ja Ja Ja Ja’s government office.

Lifting their heads to look, this skyscraper was at least 100 floors tall. It was shaped like a Christmas tree and the whole wall shone in the glint of metals. From the perspective of an Earthling, this building could not have been stranger.

By then, Feng Bujue had already abandoned the idea of ‘setting up a plan’. With the two overpowered superheroes beside him, all he needed to do was to follow them. So he suggested. “Then... shall we kick down the door?”
