Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 275: Steve

After receiving information related to the Stand Arrow.

Fang Mo almost immediately teleported to Egypt.

He was received by a middle-aged male villager, who outwardly appeared to be a businessman dealing in fine clothing, but in reality, he was the overall person in charge of the nearby area.

He oversaw the intelligence network, termite swarm, and the Goblin Corps of more than dozens of villages and towns around.

It was from him that Fang Mo obtained the magical Stand Arrow.

This was an exceptionally beautifully crafted arrow, with a silver blade and a bright gold plating. Just above the arrowhead, a pure gold scarab beetle was inlaid, with a protruding spike at its tail and a round ruby at its head, giving the entire arrow an ancient Egyptian mystique.

In fact, supernatural elements in the JOJO world are not many, such as Ripple, Stone Mask, Red Stone of Aja, Saint's Corpse, Stand Arrow... and of course, some other things, but the most famous is probably this stand arrow in Fang Mo's hands.

Ordinary arrows can awaken human Stands.

But besides this function, the Stand Arrow can also evolve Stands into a second form known as Requiem.

Fang Mo has always been curious.

Steve, who has always accompanied him, does he count as a Stand? If he really is a Stand, what would happen if he was pierced with the Stand Arrow?

Would it become something like Steve Requiem? If it really succeeds, what would be the specific abilities of Steve Requiem? Is it awakening self-consciousness? Or unlocking a creative mode? Or even turning the MC world into a local network or server, allowing people from other worlds to join in the game?

After thinking for a while, Fang Mo felt quite excited about it.

So, he quickly prepared for the experiment.

Considering that Steve's armor was too strong and might damage the Stand Arrow, Fang Mo specifically stripped Steve clean and then raised the Stand Arrow, stabbing forcefully at Steve's knee.

With a snap, half a heart was deducted from Steve instantly.

And at the moment Steve was injured, Fang Mo's brain also experienced an inexplicable pain, as various indecipherable, chaotic, and bizarre information flooded into his mind instantaneously.

Fang Mo staggered, barely standing steady, as an astronomical amount of information flooded his brain.

These pieces of information eventually converged into endless light bands of numbers and symbols. If someone was watching Fang Mo at that moment, they would notice that his pupils were emitting strands of white light. This light was extremely pale and cold, as if some part of his subconscious divinity was being awakened.

In fact, Fang Mo felt his state was very peculiar.

He discovered many symbols floating around him, indescribable and impossible to decipher with human language, but Fang Mo didn't feel afraid of them, instead feeling an inner joy and satisfaction.

These symbols were dazzling like intersecting galaxies, forming beautiful light bands floating and swirling around him, shining even brighter than the stars in the universe.

Fang Mo tried to touch these characters, and the moment his fingertips touched these shining entities, he suddenly had an epiphany, instantly understanding what these things represented. They were rules, structures, orders, or could also be called... the truth.

At that moment, Fang Mo felt he could even rival gods.

But soon after.

His brain was pierced with pain again.

All the characters, all these beautiful scenes, faded away, and a system prompt sounded in Fang Mo's mind.

[System Prompt: Insufficient permissions.]

"Huh?"

Hearing this prompt, Fang Mo was slightly stunned, "What insufficient permissions?"

However, the system didn't respond to him.

Unconvinced, Fang Mo picked up the Stand Arrow and stabbed Steve again, but this time there wasn't even a moment of trance, just the cold system prompt ringing in his mind.

[System Prompt: Insufficient permissions.]

"Ah, this"

Seeing this, Fang Mo was also baffled.

"It's not that there is no response, but some permissions are insufficient?"

Fang Mo encountered this situation for the first time. It was clear that the Stand Arrow had an effect, as the characters and information initially were clearly the precursors of evolution, but for some reason, the system displayed insufficient permissions.

Insufficient permissions are not scary.

But the most troublesome part is that it doesn't tell you which permissions are lacking.

As mentioned before, Fang Mo's system doesn't have an AI setting. In terms of intelligence, it's not even comparable to the likes of Siri, making it impossible to communicate.

That's quite problematic.

Fang Mo rubbed his temples with a bit of helplessness.

Just relying on the four words 'insufficient permissions,' it's extremely difficult for him to deduce exactly where the problem lies. This is even more challenging than researching a workbench.

After all, at least the workbench has a research direction.

As for this 'insufficient permissions'... frankly, Fang Mo doesn't even know how to start.

Is it because his physical and mental strength aren't enough? Or is he missing some prerequisite conditions? Or is it simply because his game mode before death was survival mode, resulting in his permission group being a player... and not an administrator or something similar?

He couldn't understand it at all.

"Forget it..."

After the test yielded no results, Fang Mo could only shake his head and temporarily put away the Stand Arrow: "Let's try again later. Maybe after unlocking a cheat mod, I can directly modify the permission group."

"Master, have you finished your test?"

Seeing Fang Mo putting away the Stand Arrow, a villager cautiously approached.

"Hm?"

Fang Mo looked at the villager strangely, noticing his eagerly rubbing hands, and then he realized: "Oh, you mean the reward."

With a thought, Fang Mo handed a materialized emerald to the villager.

"Hmm... hmmm..."

Receiving the clear, translucent emerald, the villager couldn't control his joy, even making a familiar nasal sound. He then lovingly caressed the emerald, his affection evident: "Thank you, master, you're so kind..."

"..."

Seeing the villager's behavior, Fang Mo felt even more headache.

"Alright, go have fun." Fang Mo didn't really want to continue interacting with the villagers, so he prepared to use a magic trick: "Anyway, I'm leaving now."

"Wait, master!" The villager suddenly shouted.

"What is it?"

Fang Mo looked at him curiously.

"The task that master assigned to us is now complete," the villager said. "So, what should we do next? Please give us some instructions."

"Oh, that."

Hearing the villager's words, Fang Mo subconsciously nodded: "You didn't mention it, I almost forgot. How are you adapting to life in Egypt? Are you accustomed to it?"

"Pretty good."

The villager said: "It was a bit difficult when we first settled, but now we've found our footing. With the help of goblins, silverfish, and the wraiths, we've become the largest force here. If the master has any other tasks, just command us."

"Oh, no need for that."

Fang Mo waved his hand and said, "I have already obtained what I wanted and will probably leave this world soon."

"Leave this world?"

A villager asked curiously, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

"Literally what I said," Fang Mo explained. "You should know you're from the MC world, and this is another world. I travel and traverse through these worlds continuously. Now that I have what I need, I am preparing to leave temporarily."

"Of course, I will also consider your thoughts."

Thinking of Ah Xue from before, Fang Mo smiled and continued, "If you don't want to stay here, I can take you with me. Of course, if you prefer to stay, that's fine too. You can help me run a big conglomerate here. We can't let Speedwagon surpass us."

"So, we get to choose?"

After a moment of thought, the villager said, "Hmm... I need to discuss this with the others. Master, can we give you an answer in a few days?"

"Oh, sure," Fang Mo agreed. "I'll come back to find you in a few days."

After saying this, Fang Mo didn't continue the idle chat and instead, used Brown Magic to leave Egypt.

Since he was waiting for the villagers' decision, Fang Mo stayed in the JOJO world for a few more days.

He first visited Jonathan's family in America. The couple seemed to be living happily. After changing his identity, George Joestar started a business in America and seemed to be doing well.

Speedwagon had also come to America but wasn't making money with the Joestar family. Instead, he was searching for opportunities on his own.

As the original story goes, Speedwagon would get lost in Texas one year, almost die in a desert, and then coincidentally discover an oil field, becoming a world-class tycoon.

As for the story of Stone Mask and the vampire Dio...

It seemed to have come to an end.

Whether Dio was truly turned to ashes by Jonathan's punch or escaped by some trickery was no longer important.

Just as Jonathan thought Dio was gone, if Dio were alive, he would also believe Jonathan was dead. Their entangled blood destiny was forcibly separated by Fang Mo, the unreasonable block person, with a right-click.

This was evident from Jonathan not dying on that ship.

In the game of fate and Fang Mo, fate had missed a move.

Several days passed quickly, and Fang Mo returned to Egypt to inquire about the villagers' decision.

To his surprise, the villagers, after discussion, unanimously decided not to go back with Fang Mo. Not because they were disloyal, but exactly because they were too loyal.

According to them, they were too weak at present and needed to grow and learn.

Simply being with the master wouldn't be much use, so they preferred to stay and undergo the baptism of time and years, volunteering for this.

The villagers planned to make the JOJO world their base, their village, continuously producing people and creating new companions, like a huge reserve barracks. If Fang Mo needed them in other worlds, he could easily deploy them from here.

After decades, even a century of effort and research, each villager would become a powerful aide for Fang Mo, with thoughts and experiences far beyond ordinary people.

This way, Fang Mo wouldn't need to materialize new villagers.

Newborn villagers lacked common sense, and just teaching them to adapt to modern society would take a lot of time. The villagers realized this and decided not to delay their master's plans and progress. They resolved that every future villager would be capable on their own.

Since they all said so, Fang Mo certainly wouldn't refuse.

After all, such loyalty was overwhelming even to him. He immediately sent several boxes of emeralds to them.

The villagers became even more excited, expressing their desire to offer their hearts to their emperor... to their master.

But Fang Mo waved it off, saying it was all their hard-earned money.

After settling the villagers, Fang Mo packed his luggage, bid farewell to Jonathan and the others, and then controlled Steve to open the Linking Book.

The book pages turned, and familiar black fog enveloped their bodies.

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came.

Fang Mo finally returned to the embrace of the main /Bleam
