Chapter 444

Then they exiled her to a frigid region.

Left her to survive alone.

When she reached the age of fifteen, her parents brought her back.

They began hero trials for her within the city.

At this time, her parents would ask her to do simple tasks.

Such as combating crime or catching thieves.

The woman grew up in such a family.

92. The Hero's Speculation

Yet she bore no resentment.

She seemed to believe she was destined from birth to become a hero.

Although her current strength was not very strong.

But as a C-class hero, she was already among the elite.

Yet she constantly thought about how to advance to B-class hero.

This seemed to be a barrier that had always blocked her.

It was the same for most heroes.

There was a very strict pyramid among heroes.

S-class heroes stood at the apex of the pyramid.

Such individuals were exceedingly few.

Below them, A-class heroes were somewhat more numerous.

But their proportion was still low.

Below them, B-class heroes were even more numerous.

C-class heroes were the most numerous, making up eighty percent of all heroes.

These heroes barely entered the threshold of heroism.

Yet with nothing but passion, they could still accomplish much for the people.

They bravely roamed the streets and alleys.

Whenever they saw danger occur anywhere.

They were always the first to rush over.

But talent was often their barrier.

It kept them locked out.

Many, no matter how hard they trained, could never meet B-class requirements.

Thus they remained forever stuck at C-class.

And if one failed to complete a mission in a day.

They would no longer be able to remain a C-class hero.

They would be swiftly removed from the Hero Association's rolls.

The woman looked at Luo En with a hint of helplessness.

"You know we've been training constantly.

But our talent is limited.

No matter how hard we train, we can only ever be this way.

Yet when it comes to fighting criminals,

Our passion is no less than any other hero's."

Luo En nodded; he had already noticed it just now.

The vast majority here were C-class heroes, and in talking with them, Luo En could feel their hearts were burning.

And they were extremely passionate about fighting criminals.

"I believe that with effort, you will advance to B-class soon."

Luo En comforted the woman thus.

The woman smiled and said to Luo En.

"Thank you for your comfort—I feel much better now."

Since their conversation had been so pleasant,

The woman quickly obtained Luo En's phone number.

She decided to treat Luo En to a meal sometime.

Then discuss matters related to heroes together.

Luo En, of course, gladly accepted.

More friends mean more paths.

After all, in this world, having more friends naturally meant access to more information.

When Luo En returned,

He saw Long Juan with a grim face, and Chuixue's expression also seemed unpleasant.

Luo En was puzzled—why were these two always frowning?

So he asked casually.

"You've just come back from there too; you know the situation is extremely urgent.

We need to devise a strategy to respond to this disaster."

Chui Xue let out a cold sniff.

"You were chatting quite happily with that girl just now."

"I didn't realize you were in such a hurry."

Luo En blinked in surprise.

He finally understood—it was all because of this.

"I just happened to talk with them about this too."

"About the extraterrestrial meteorite."

Although Chui Xue's expression remained grim,

what mattered most now was to devise a plan.

After all, this was a Dragon Summit-level disaster.

To Chui Xue,

though her heart still simmered with resentment,

she could still distinguish between major and minor matters.

This was no time for tantrums.

Thinking this, she softened her tone slightly.

"So, have you formulated a plan?"

Luo En nodded, then shook his head.

"I've thought of a few plans."

"But I don't know if any of them can be carried out."

Chui Xue asked, "What are they? Say them out loud."

"We can all discuss them."

"Anyone who comes up with a good idea should speak up."

Long Juan suddenly stood up and said,

"If I can withstand the meteorite's power,

I can stand at the front and use my mental force to control it.

Then, whoever among you can unleash their strength, shatter it.

As long as we can kill it,

this disaster will be resolved."

Luo En shook his head—he believed this method was utterly unworkable.

Long Juan's mental force, though strong,
