["Can you imagine? By then, I will have amassed a fortune that I could never spend in a lifetime. If you are willing to continue cooperating with me, I can share a portion of that fortune with you."]
Episode 61: Even after giving up a million-dollar prize, Bald Qiang is determined to save the world.
The world of Happy Heroes
"...Oh my God."
"He... he actually wants to promote this flawed and failed technology, which would prevent people from ever turning back into humans, to the whole world?"
"Doesn't he realize at all the terrible and irreversible consequences this will cause?"
Sweetheart Superman looked at Tom, his old friend, who was smugly showing off his crazy plan in front of him on the sky, and his expression was full of fear and disbelief.
"...Of course he knows."
"But he doesn't care at all."
Dr. Zhai, standing to the side, wore an unprecedentedly solemn expression.
"Once this technology, which is riddled with deadly side effects, is indeed rolled out worldwide, just as he claims."
"It won't be long before countless innocent people on the entire planet Star will be completely transformed into those mad beasts who have lost all human reason and only know how to destroy and attack because of their excessive use of it."
"At that time, all the social order upon which human civilization depends for its maintenance will collapse completely in an instant."
"This...this is no different in essence from directly using a giant bomb to destroy the entire world."
The doctor's analysis sent a chill down the spines of all the superheroes present.
"hateful."
"This villain named Tom is ten thousand times more despicable than any monster we've encountered before."
Happy Superman revealed an extremely angry expression, and his fists were clenched tightly in anger.
"He is using the lives and future of everyone in the world to satisfy his own dirty, selfish, and ridiculous desires."
"We must not let him succeed."

The World of Boonie Bears - Security Department
"……I can not understand."
"What exactly is Tom's purpose in doing this?"
Inside the command center, a young police officer looked at the sky with an extremely confused expression.
"Is it just about the money?"
"But if everyone in the world turned into mindless beasts as he planned, then the entire civilization would cease to exist."
"What's the point of him making a lot of money by then?"
Can money still buy things?
His question was also the question in the minds of all the police officers present.
"……yes."
"If everyone turned into beasts, the world would be doomed."
"And he himself was also unable to escape this great calamity."
"A businessman who, in order to make money, is willing to destroy the world, and even ultimately destroy himself..."
The young chief inspector looked at the screen with an expression full of suspicion and a hint of dread.
"Is his goal really just 'money,' that simple?"
"Or……"
"This Tom, from the very beginning, his truest purpose was to personally destroy this world that he hated, or rather, that had never recognized him."
"To utterly and completely destroy it?"
He felt as if he had glimpsed the darker, more insane, true motives deep within the heart of the man named Tom.
...
The World of Boonie Bears
"...This Tom..."
"He...he's really awful."
"He knew perfectly well that the transformation bracelet was dangerous and could harm people."
"He actually wants all the innocent people in the world to use it."
"He...he's a complete, incurable madman."
Looking at Tom on the screen, who was righteously defending his evil plan, Xiao Ke revealed an expression filled with fear and anger.
However, when she saw the familiar figure on the other side of the screen, who had transformed into an owl and was quietly infiltrating the enemy headquarters.
Hope rekindled on her face.
"Mr. Bald Qiang..."
"And Xiong Er..."
"They have successfully infiltrated."
"They must...they must be able to stop that bastard Tom's plan before it succeeds, right?"
Xiao Ke revealed an expression full of tension, yet also one of immense anticipation, placing all her hopes on Bald Qiang.
"Mr. Bald Qiang is so powerful."
"He is also a true hero who once saved the world."
"So this time he definitely, definitely can do it too."
[Just as Tom and Lotte were having a heated conversation.]
On the other side.
[Bald Qiang and his friends successfully entered the room where the person who had lost their mind and turned into a beast due to the transformation bracelet was being held.]
They found Xiong Da, who was also imprisoned, and successfully rescued him.
However, in the chaos, those who had already lost control were also unexpectedly released.
Those who had lost control began to launch a frenzied attack on Bald Qiang and his companions.
They could only flee.
Tom also witnessed this scene through headquarters' surveillance cameras.
[It seems the side effects of the super transformation device are about to become known to everyone outside of Rakuten.]
He quickly led his men out to meet the enemy.
And so, a fierce battle ensued between the two sides in the headquarters lobby.
Tom's face was grim as he said, "Bald Qiang, you should have just stayed calm and been the champion. Why did you have to go against me? Let me tell you, you won't get a single penny of that million-dollar prize."
As he spoke, he began searching for Bald Qiang's whereabouts amidst the chaotic battlefield.
He quickly noticed Bald Qiang hiding in a corner.
Although Bald Qiang wants the prize money, he wants to defeat Tom even more.

The World of The King's Avatar
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap."
"That guy named Tom, he actually used that million-dollar prize money to threaten Bald Qiang?"
"This is too... too despicable."
Huang Shaotian looked at the sky, revealing an expression that was both angry and incredibly admiring.
One million.
"That's a million!"
"Before, Bald Qiang went through so much trouble for a mere few hundred yuan for a train ticket home, and even destroyed his own house."
"For him, isn't this million just like the unique championship prize money that we professional players fight tooth and nail to win an entire season? It's the ultimate glory and wealth that can change his life."
"And then he... he actually..."
Huang Shaotian's face was filled with deep shock at Bald Qiang's choice.
"It seems he has completely figured it out."
Ye Xiu slowly exhaled a smoke ring, revealing an expression full of admiration and approval.
"A million-dollar prize is certainly very important."
"But that was just a small 'side quest' reward in this huge instance called 'Wild Continent,' which could be abandoned at any time."
"And 'defeat Tom,' 'stop this disaster that could destroy the world,' 'save all innocent people'..."
"This is the only true 'main quest' in this instance that must be completed no matter what."
"Between 'personal gain' and 'team glory'... no, between 'the survival of the entire world'."
"He chose the latter without hesitation."
Ye Xiu used his unique logic, that of a tactical master, to precisely analyze Bald Qiang's seemingly simple yet incredibly profound inner choice at that moment.
“...That’s amazing.”
"That's really amazing."
Chen Guo, standing to the side, also wore an expression filled with emotion and deep admiration.
"That's a million..."
"With this million, he can completely repair his destroyed house and buy a brand new pickup truck that will never leak again."
"For the rest of his life, he will never have to put up with the attitude of that despicable 'Boss Li' who always bullied him."
"But he did it for those strangers who were complete strangers to him and who might suffer as a result."
"Just like that, without any hesitation, he gave up."
Her voice was filled with the most sincere respect for this great act.
"Yes."
"So, this guy, although he usually seems very unreliable, untrustworthy, and even a bit of a scumbag."
"But at the most crucial moment, he always makes the most 'correct' and most 'manly' choice."
"In this respect, they are quite similar to some of the guys in our Glory Professional League."
A faint, amused smile appeared on Ye Xiu's face.
"Let's see where you can run to today."
Tom immediately used the super transformation device to transform into a ferocious beast and pounced on him.
Meanwhile, Bald Qiang quickly used the transformation device to turn himself into a nimble lizard.
Not only did he successfully evade Tom's attack, but he also used his long tongue to snatch the transformation device from Tom's hand.
Then, he swiftly transformed into a majestic lion, and rammed into Tom, who hadn't even reacted yet, sending him flying.
"I got the transformer."
[Bald Qiang shouted loudly towards Xiao Ke and the others not far away.]
【"marvelous."】
Xiao Ke and the others cheered.
