Chapter 14 A Hero's Busy Day

Xiao Lucky snapped his fingers. "Alright, now that we've finished asking the simple questions, let's get ready and start today's apprentice hero day practice mission."

"Okay, Mr. Lucky. I'm looking forward to it! To be honest, this is the first time I've seen the daily work of a superhero up close, and I feel my heart beating faster!" Zhong Mengfan's voice was full of motivation.

Xiao Xingyun raised his head. "Then follow me, newcomer. And Ye Shen, welcome to the community I'm in charge of."

Xiao Xingyun led the way in front, and Zhong Mengfan and I followed behind him.

He began to introduce us, "This is one of the areas I'm responsible for. It's part of the Happy Community, with a permanent population of approximately 30,000 and a floating population of around 4,000. There are two kindergartens, a primary school, and a junior high school. There's no large commercial area, so there's usually not much traffic."

I nodded and listened patiently, while Zhong Mengfan uttered a single "ah" as if he didn't understand why Xiao Xingyun was introducing all this.

At this time, an old lady carrying shopping bags passed by Xiao Xingyun.

She smiled and greeted Little Lucky, "Oh, what a coincidence, Little Lucky."

"Hello, Aunt Yuan."

She took out an apple from her shopping bag and handed it to Xiao Xingyun. "I just bought this at the supermarket. Have one." She then looked at us behind her, wanting to give us apples as well. "Are you Xiao Xingyun's colleagues? Have an apple too."

"Aunt Yuan, we are at work, how can we do that?" Xiao Xingyun shook his head and refused.

The enthusiastic Aunt Yuan stuffed three apples directly into our hands and said, "Why can't you eat one apple? A superhero who saves the world can't eat one of my apples. Take it, take it." After saying that, she left without looking back.

Zhong Mengfan whispered to me, "Doctor, this is very strange. Why did I receive an apple as a gift?"

I said, "Well, it seems that the residents here are very welcoming."

Little Lucky nodded happily, "Yes, everyone is very kind."

Zhong Mengfan ""

So the three of us continued walking on the sidewalk, each holding an apple in our hands.

I was just about to pass by a primary school when the bell rang. It was time for the primary school to finish school, and the first group of children ran out of the gate.

They saw Xiao Xingyun next to the school at a glance and ran over immediately.

"Mr. Lucky, can we take another photo with you?" The children would say this and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had taken a photo with Mr. Lucky.

"Of course." Little Lucky laughed.

But it wasn't over yet. Someone among the primary school students said, "Thank you, Mr. Lucky! Can we take a photo together tomorrow?"

"If we're lucky enough to meet here again tomorrow, that's fine too."

"That's great!" The children chattered happily around Little Lucky until their parents and elders took them away one by one and the apples were distributed to the last few children who were reluctant to leave. Only then did the place become quiet again.

Little Lucky waved goodbye to the children who kept looking back at him every three steps, and said to us, "Well, let's get on with our work today."

On the way, Xiao Xingyun helped an elderly man cross the street, and also gave directions to a couple visiting an ancient temple. We took a photo together. This photo also included Zhong Mengfan and me, who were also there. The couple seemed to only know Xiao Xingyun and didn't know what I looked like.

Zhong Mengfan, who had been following Xiao Xingyun all the way, already looked like an elderly man on the subway checking his phone. He couldn't help but whisper to me, "Doctor."

"Um"

"Although I have never been a fan of heroes, the superheroes in TV dramas and on the news are obviously very cool. To be honest, I still feel anticipation, nervousness and excitement when I suddenly become a superhero from an ordinary person." Zhong Mengfan lowered his head and scratched his cheek with his fingers a little restrainedly.

"But we were just discussing using superpowers to save the world and fearing retaliation from evil forces—such serious topics. Now he's chatting with the residents about everyday things, acting so down-to-earth and approachable. He doesn't really look like a superhero at all."

Zhong Mengfan forgot that most people with special abilities have stronger five senses than ordinary people. Therefore, his whisper was also heard by Xiao Xingyun.

"Newcomer, this is how narrow-minded you are."

Xiao Xingyun shook his index finger. "Saving the world and maintaining peace. It does sound like something that makes any new hero feel excited and a huge responsibility, but justice knows no bounds. I'm not an offensive mutant, so I can't be one of those world-famous heroes on TV, but I believe that any small act of kindness and help can make the world a better and more peaceful place. As long as you have this belief and do your best, even an ordinary person can become a hero."

"Mr. Lucky, what you said is so wonderful." Zhong Mengfan said, a little embarrassed. "Because I suddenly became a pro hero, there are many things I haven't thought about carefully. I still don't really understand what a pro hero is like or what it takes to be a qualified hero. But after meeting Mr. Lucky and hearing what you said, I feel that being a hero is really a great profession."

Xiao Xingyun encouraged, "Newcomer, you're the first apprentice hero whose luck I can't predict. This proves that you have strength and you will grow. Your abilities will make you stronger and stronger. Come on, newcomer! You'll become a very powerful superhero!"

Zhong Mengfan clenched his fists and said, "Yes, Mr. Lucky! You are also the best professional hero I have ever met! Please teach me the technique of releasing supernatural powers for a long time that you are good at."

I watched their conversation unfold like a scene from a shonen manga, a scene of protagonists cheering each other on. It occurred to me that Zhong Mengfan had only come into contact with three professional heroes up to this point. The heroic ranger who tragically died before him was temporarily being treated as a doctor, but I, Xiao Xingyun, who wanted to train him into a true hero, happened to be the third one.

Xiao Xingyun also gave a thumbs up and said, "Of course, no problem!"

Zhong Mengfan agreed and gave a thumbs up. "Oh, Mr. Lucky is such a reliable professional hero!"

"Ahaha, no, no. Newbie, you're one of the most straightforward and sincere trainee heroes I've ever met."

Perhaps realizing that he was barely a parody at the moment, Zhong Mengfan acted exceptionally modestly. "Well, I still have a lot to learn from real professional heroes like you."

Complimented, Xiao Xingyun patted Zhong Mengfan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so modest, newbie. I originally thought that the guys around Ye Mo must be very extraordinary even if they are newbies. I didn't expect that your personality is so compatible with mine. It's really admirable."

Zhong Mengfan uttered a single sound "hmm"

"Being noticed by an A-class hero means you must have unlimited potential. Unlike D-class heroes like us who struggle alone, you are the ones who are trained as the top ones among the superpowers. Of course, you have reason to be proud." Xiao Xingyun said with envy.

Zhong Mengfan, feeling guilty again, said, "No, it's just that my situation is a little special. Compared to me, Mr. Xiao Xingyun has already passed the professional qualification exam, which is impressive."

Xiao Lucky was happy to be praised, "Haha, newbie, you are really good at talking."

Zhong Mengfan, from the instinct of a poor student, said, "No, I'm really praising you! I heard that the exam is very strict."

Ah, the two people in front of me have already started to flatter each other commercially.

One was clearly still a clueless apprentice hero, and the other, from looking at their profile, seemed to have been in the game not too long ago. Yet, they were using the most common friendship model for professional heroes quite smoothly, seemingly exchanging contact information and becoming close friends.

I looked up at the weather today. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. It was a rare good day.

Good for making friends and traveling.

But I should have been sitting in my office, enjoying the air conditioning, drinking a cup of brewed coffee, listening to the superheroes confide their little troubles, or helping them overcome the fear in their hearts after the battle.

It also offers emotional advice and inspiration to those heroes who are struggling with workplace romances and are experiencing setbacks. A superhero romance, no matter how romantic and sweet it may be at the beginning, can often end in a dramatic battle if it's not consistently sustained and handled properly.

Yes, literal war.

Of course, I slack off occasionally.

I fanned myself with my hands.

Summer is really hot...

Just as Xiao Xingyun was happily sharing his experience of becoming a professional hero with Zhong Mengfan and exchanging experiences in using superpowers.

"Catch the thief! He stole my cell phone!" A voice came from far away.
