Along the way, Saitama looked at Arata who was behind him and couldn't help but feel tired. It seems that it was he who pushed himself into such a situation.

"I already said that I'm really poor, and I also live in the ultra-dangerous city Z. Are you sure you want to live with me?"

Saitama scratched his hair frantically, attempting to scare away Arata

But he thought too much. Although there were monsters in Z City, as long as Saitama lived there, it was undoubtedly the safest place in the world.

"By the way, Shouldn't you visit the hospital? You're in a pretty bad state."

Arata said while looking at the tattered clothes of Saitama. If he remembered correctly, wasn't this guy beaten up by the Crab Monster several times.

But now, Instead of going to the hospital for a check-up, he was going back home while limping like this.

"Hospital? Do you think I have enough money to go to such a high-end place, this little injury would go away after I reach home and bandage it up."

Saitama said and scratched his hair again, making Arata feel that he would certainly be bald in the future. Saitama would later discover that this action that ordinary people could do would be a luxury for him.

"You can see it too right?, How poor I am, If you live with me, The only food you might get would be bean sprouts."

Saitama looked at Arata and tried to persuade him. In his opinion, Arata wore branded goods, and he might not be able to endure the hardship of a poor ghost like him. Maybe he could use this to persuade him.

"It's okay, I have money!

Five simple words, but for Saitama, it was music for his ears. His attitude changed in an instant.

"You have money?! How much money do you have?"

Saitama ran up to Arata instantly, The previous limping and injury didn't seem to exist anymore, as if he had been pretending all along.

"It's not much, but it shouldn't be a problem to let the two of us eat for a year and a half."

Arata had planned for this run away from home, so the funds for this activity were adequately prepared.

As the most favored sibling in the family, Tatsumaki, and Fubuki obviously gave Arata a lot of pocket money.

"Boss, please come to my humble house!"

He could eat Fish and Meat for a year and a half. Wouldn't it be possible to eat for three to five years if they saved a little?

He felt like he had met a shameless person but he at least had a lot of money.

Since Saitama found out that Arata was rich, his attitude was very different from before. He also led the way diligently, never mentioning the things that might cause Arata to leave.

Even if Arata wanted to leave now, It could be reckoned that Saitama might just cling to his thigh and beg him to stay.

If Saitama continued to live the way he has then it might even become hard for him to pay his own rent.

He followed Saitama to his rental house. Because of the frequent appearance of monsters here, the building was unfinished and almost all the tenants moved away.

The reason why Saitama chose to continue living here was not because of his courage it was because the rent was cheap here.

He went all the way upstairs to the rental house with Saitama and looked around for a while, It was the same as it was in the anime.

Although not too big, it was more than enough for two people.

"How about it? This is the room I rented. Although it is not too big, it is fully furnished."

The current Saitama was not bald, so he clearly hadn't lost his emotions. At the moment, he was looking at Arata with a hint of anxiety on his face.

If Arata looked down on his rental house and ran away then what should he do?

But to Saitama's relief, Arara didn't ask too much about the room, and just faintly said "Good".

"Then boss, about the accommodation and food expenses..."

Saitama looked at Arata while rubbing his hands, What he meant was self-evident.

Looking at him Arata had to say, Comparing the bald emotionless Saitama with the current Saitama felt like blasphemy.

"Just call me Arata, this should cover our living expenses."

Arata took out a lot of banknotes. For owning a super bodyguard like Saitama, Arata thought that it was quite a bargain.

After Saitama got the money, he went out immediately. He could eat a hot pot tonight in the name of celebration for Arata moving in.

After Saitama went out, Arata finally had time to check on the system.

Because he didn't t know if using the System would cause any changes outside of his body., Arata didn't want to take futile risks.

Now that Saitama was gone, he was alone in the house, This time Arata entered the system of his own will, He was planning to use the reward he got related to the chance to draw three cards.

Since facts couldn't be changed, He would just silently accept it. What would whining and crying do? Now that he could get cards, He could increase his chances of surviving.

After checking the system interface, the first thing that Arata saw was his own information.

[ Name: Arata

Level: 0 Star

Character card slot: One (empty)

Skill card slot: One (empty)

Equipment card slot: None

Hero Points: None ]

Arata's character information was very simple, just a few lines of text, but there was no explanation at all.

It wasn't surprising that he wanted to stay with Saitama, he knew that his system was broken and there wasn't any kind of humanized setting at all.

Combining it with the information given previously, it was obvious that these so-called "Card Slots", was used to equip the cards drawn.

And the card slot actually had a number display, Which meant that the number could be increased.

As for how to increase it? Arata guessed that it should be related to his "level". He was at [0 Star], so there was a high probability that the increase would be something like "One Star", "Two Stars" and so on.

As for how to level up, Arata didn't know. As for the final "Hero Points", Arata was also clueless regarding it.

After thinking about it for a while Arata couldn't come up with a result so he finally decided to draw the card first.

The method for drawing cards was also very simple. Entering the card drawing interface, Arata saw three three-dimensional floating black cards.

At the moment, The three cards were all covered up, and it seemed that Arata had to manually open them.

Because the system was shitty, there was no explanation for anything, So Arata could only try every option he had. Fortunately, his guess was correct.

Arata easily turned over the first card, and with a burst of white light, The first card was shown.

The pattern on the card was that of a "Character", Obviously meaning it was "Character Card". This made Arata overjoyed, because of the three cards, [Character Card] was the best.

A character could possess several skills at the same time and might even possess a powerful bloodline. The Character card was the best way to increase his strength rapidly.

But when Arata saw which character was drawn on the card, his smile instantly froze.

The character on the card was that of a fat kid, he wore an orange shirt with a yellow stripe, gray pants, and blue shoes and he was also showing off his biceps.

[ Character Card: Takeshi Goda (from Doraemon)

Skill: Kid King (50% increase in deterrence for children)

Ps: Takeshi has a lot of virtue. ]
