"Genos, the most important thing about hot pot is the freshness of the ingredients."
Saitama picked up a cabbage and shook it solemnly, "Look at how tender the leaves are. This is the essence... But the most important thing is that it's on sale today..."
Genos nodded seriously, and quickly wrote in his notebook: "I understand, teacher. 'Special price is the soul of hot pot', I will remember this."
Di's heart skipped a beat.
“Boom!”
The low heartbeat like thunder exploded in the chest, and the air around seemed to shake.
The Emperor Engine...started uncontrollably!
Almost in an instant, Saitama and Genos turned their heads instantly, their eyes shooting in the direction of Di Yu like sharp arrows!
"This heartbeat sound..." Genos's mechanical eyes quickly locked onto Di Yu, "Teacher, an abnormal biological reaction has been detected!"
Saitama looked a little confused: "Ah... I seem to have heard it somewhere..."
Di Yi's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He quickly adjusted his breathing and forced himself to calm down.
The roar of the Emperor's engines died down, but it was too late—
Genos had already strode over, his golden mechanical eyes flashing a dangerous red light.
"Who are you? Why do you have such an abnormal physiological reaction?"
Di Yi took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, revealing the scar under the brim of his hat.
"King...?" Genos was stunned for a moment, "King, the 7th ranked S-class hero?"
Saitama's eyes lit up: "Oh! It sounds awesome!"
Di Yi: “…”
This reaction...should I say that it’s Saitama?
Genos, however, became more alert: "According to the data, King's 'Emperor Engine' is a special ability in combat, but the heartbeat frequency just now does not match the database records..."
"Genos." Saitama suddenly patted his apprentice on the shoulder, "Don't be so nervous, maybe my heartbeat is just... uh... a little loud?"
Di Yu almost laughed out loud.
Is this Saitama's logic?
"Saitama-kun, Genos-kun, our meeting is fate."
Di Li lifted up the heavy plastic bag in his hand. The bright red meat of the top-grade Wagyu beef shone attractively under the light through the plastic wrap.
"I just bought some nice beef and was planning to go back and cook some hot pot. If you don't mind, why don't you come over to my place and sit with me?"
He shook the bag, and the perfectly marbled texture of the premium beef looked even more appealing as it swung.
Genos frowned slightly and spoke almost reflexively: "Teacher, we still have..."
He habitually thought that this kind of social activity would disturb the teacher's quiet study, or the leisure time of playing games and watching TV.
"——Okay! It's decided!"
Saitama's voice was eight octaves higher than usual, his eyes were fixed on the plastic bag, and his Adam's apple visibly rolled.
He held up the lone cabbage on sale in his shopping basket and said, "I just happened to buy some side dishes!"
Di Yi noticed that the price tag on the cabbage read "39 yen limited time offer" and the edges were already a little wilted.
The wagyu beef in his bag was worth 28,000 yen per piece.
As an unemployed bald caped man who has long relied on supermarket specials and discounted lunch boxes from convenience stores to make a living.
Top quality wagyu beef!
This is simply a legendary ingredient!
The main ingredients of the hot pot he usually eats are always discounted cabbage and the cheapest thin-sliced pork rolls in the supermarket.
Genos was about to say something, but Saitama had already grabbed his shoulder and said, "Genos, Mr. King is so enthusiastic, it would be rude to refuse!"
Genos immediately bowed 90 degrees: "Sorry to bother you then."
The movements are so standard that they seem like a textbook on etiquette.
"No need to be so formal..." Di Yi scratched his cheek awkwardly.
He knew in his heart that he was living a comfortable life now.
This luxury apartment, a generous monthly hero allowance, and even top-quality Wagyu beef that can be easily purchased in the supermarket.
This is largely due to the bald guy in front of him who has a special liking for discounted cabbage.
After all, in the original work, every time a major disaster was resolved, King always "happened" to appear at the scene, while Saitama, who actually solved the problem, always left silently.
The Hero Association took it upon itself to give all the credit to King, the only person present.
Thinking of this, Di Yi secretly decided: after getting familiar with Saitama, he must "repay" Saitama in the field of gaming.
