Chapter 34 Hero's Demeanor
"Doctor, why do you only have half a set of wings?" he asked curiously.
"Because wings aren't my ability, they belong to a former patient whose supernatural power is a pair of wings that allow him to fly, but he himself has a severe fear of heights. I'm trying to help him overcome his fear of heights."
I paused, then used a subtle statement, "I entered his spiritual world. The methods used by those with special abilities whose spiritual worlds I've deeply penetrated are captured by me, allowing me to imitate them. However, the abilities I imitate are always incomplete, and the actual abilities they display are also unstable."
"That sounds amazing, he's truly an A-level superhero."
After we handed Miss Wang over to the police, we also found Miss Wang's ex-boyfriend who lived on the 15th floor on the pretext of fraud, and the police took him back to the police station.
Zhong Mengfan sighed, "My heroic debut failed..."
At this moment, Zhong Mengfan and I both received a new message notification tone from our communicators.
Mine just had a "ding."
A cheerful loli voice rang out from Zhong Mengfan's communicator, "Points are coming, points are coming! Justice will prevail!"
…
This magical reminder sound silenced me.
He immediately unlocked the screen and clicked on the message. "Hmm, I thought today's mission had failed, but I actually got 5 hero points. What a surprise! I'm so happy~"
"Because you pulled Miss Wang back from the most dangerous place on the top floor, you saved her life."
Zhong Mengfan smiled brightly, his eyes sparkling with joy. "I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but then I suddenly received the hero points and heard what the doctor said. I was really moved. It's wonderful to be a professional hero and to be able to help others."
I nodded to indicate that I heard but did not respond and unlocked my communicator.
Zhong Mengfan leaned over curiously and said, "Doctor, you must have more points than me."
When he saw the information on the screen, he cried out, "For the same task, why did the doctor get 50 points! 10 times more than me!!!"
"Isn't it obvious? I controlled Miss Wang and caught you after you fell. Life is priceless. Any mission that saves lives will earn you higher points."
As I spoke, I logged into my Hero Mall. Today was the day for the new flavors of unlimited drinks. I was redeeming my points for a new lime-flavored cola when Zhong Mengfan saw the points balance in my account again.
He counted the last digits, "ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... Is this an A-level hero?" The sudden feeling of poverty made him indignant.
“Why care about a string of numbers?”
Because of my identity, I don't have the habit of accumulating hero points like most professional heroes. Points are just numbers that I can spend at will. After all, if my identity as Night Demon is questioned, these points will naturally become useless.
"This string of numbers makes me feel the class gap..." he said dejectedly.
"Who just said to me passionately and proudly, 'It's great to be a professional hero,' because he got 5 points?"
"Of course I felt that way when I said it, but no matter who it was, risking their life for five points, and then seeing their partner get 10 times more points than him. And the total points on your app, it's really devastating."
Zhong Mengfan's voice chirped, and I touched my ears. "After becoming a professional hero, you must also learn to maintain the demeanor of a superhero at all times."
"Jealousy has completely changed me. Besides, I'm just a nobody now. Even if I walk down the street in combat gear, people will think I'm some unknown professional hero cosplaying.
"The demeanor of a superhero... This kind of thing might be directly linked to the points in the Hero Mall app," Zhong Mengfan said, glancing at the screen of my communicator again.
I reached out and patted his head as he leaned forward. "Because I've been an A-class hero for too long, there's no need to envy me. Besides, I'll take you flying."
Zhong Mengfan immediately turned his head away and said, "Doctor, stop patting my head and treating me like a child. What does flying mean?"
I said without any sincerity, "Sorry, I bumped your head subconsciously. Fei literally means flying. Professional heroes who can fly have always been very popular and have a lot of hero fans."
"Hmm" Zhong Mengfan looked puzzled.
At this moment, my communicator rang again.
"Ah, doctor, have you received hero points again?"
"No, it's the unlimited drinks from the mall that have been delivered."
"That's great! I wonder when I can be like the doctor, not looking at the price in the app, just like whether I like it or not, and use the points to buy things at will."
"You've worked hard today. We have unlimited drinks of other flavors at home. Would you like to try the cherry cola? It's the newest flavor I bought but haven't had time to try yet. Consider it a reward for your first mission."
Zhong Mengfan, bribed by the offer of unlimited drinks, immediately said, "Oh, I want it! Thank you, doctor."
