Chapter 548: Villa-o-Trick

In fact, when it comes to registration, Fang Mo first thought of his partner.

However, this little madman is a workaholic; she won't come out until the machine is finished. If I forcefully pull her out, I might even get scolded a few times.

But if you say it's just me alone...

Nearby, Saitama and Genos are, damn it, showing off their master-disciple affection.

Now that Sonic has run away with the basket, Fang Mo's dream of taking apprentices has naturally shattered along with his basket. So, after thinking for a long time, Fang Mo finally decided to contact Ancient One again.

Due to the uniqueness of the Kamar-Taj magic.

Mages who often borrow the power of dimensional demons can communicate with demons.

Of course, the reverse is true as well.

So, Fang Mo slowly closed his eyes, activated his authority as a dimensional demon, and forcefully contacted this being who borrowed his power.

"...What's up?"

Quickly, the calm voice of Ancient One sounded in Fang Mo's mind.

"It's like this, I need to ask you to come over for something." Fang Mo was straightforward and simply stated his idea: "Let's go register."

However, hearing this.

The other side fell into a prolonged silence.

After a long time, the voice of Ancient One barely sounded again: "I'm sorry, I've already gone through menopause."

"...Huh?"

Fang Mo didn't even realize what he had heard and subconsciously asked, "No, you've been flowing for over a thousand years, how can it just stop?"

"Maybe it's because I often use the power of the Abyssal Wasteland, my body has been contaminated by your divinity."

The Ancient One calmly said: "Now occasionally, my body and mind are eroded by your way of thinking, just like just now, after you finished that sentence, an organ inside me immediately said something you often say..."

"Huh?"

Fang Mo genuinely asked, "Your organs have their own consciousness now? Is my divinity that severe? Then... what did it say?"

"It said."

Ancient One said faintly, "Damn, it's over."

"…"

Hearing this, Fang Mo was speechless for a long time, and he didn't even know whether to believe the Ancient One or not. Clearly, she was just talking nonsense, but normally speaking... Ancient One's personality is quite old-fashioned, she wouldn't joke like this, so maybe the use of my dimensional power really does drive others crazy?

But even if the Ancient One really went crazy.

Fang Mo would never allow anyone to mock him like this.

"F***ing hell..."

Fang Mo now understood what the other side meant and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes: "What are you thinking, you old nun, I was talking about registering as a certified hero with the Hero Association!"

"…"

This time, it was the Ancient One's turn to be silent.

"You really came up with that excuse, even claiming menopause..."

Fang Mo angrily said, "Next time you talk nonsense with me, believe it or not, I'll make you sterile? My Manyullyn surgical knife hasn't seen blood in a long time, I've even forgotten when the last time I performed surgery was."

"Alright, let's stop there."

The pained voice of the Ancient One sounded: "Let's talk about the issue of hero registration."

"Anyway, open a portal over here and go register at the Hero Association." Fang Mo said impatiently: "I also want to see what hero name the association gives me. If it's not good, I'll just switch to the Monster Association and pair up with Black Sperm..."

"Wait a minute, I'm coming."

Ancient One first agreed in thought, and soon after, an orange-red circle of fire appeared in the air next to Fang Mo.

And as the circle gradually expanded.

The Ancient One, wearing a hemp robe, stepped out of it.

"Ah, Ancient One."

Saitama, unaware of the previous conversation between the two, also raised his hand to greet her after seeing the Ancient One: "You're back, huh? Looks like you didn't go to register with that Hero Association either."

"Yes, that's right."

Perhaps it's the empathy between baldies, but the Ancient One was unexpectedly friendly to Saitama: "I've come from a very far place, and I'm still not very familiar with many things here. I only heard about the Hero Association today."

"That's so."

Saitama smiled and said: "Well then, let's go to the Hero Association together."

And just like that.

The group decided to register at the Hero Association first.

But since they were currently in F City, they needed to return to Z City first, which was quite convenient since the Ancient One could open portals.

And as the group returned to Z City, planning to go to the Hero Association branch to register, Genos also briefed everyone on the Hero Association, including how to become a qualified hero.

Through Genos's briefing.

Everyone learned that hero registration apparently required an appointment first.

Yes, the Hero Association is quite formal; it's not like ordinary people can just register and become a hero.

According to Genos, the assessment at the Hero Association is divided into a written exam and a physical test; only those who pass the score can become a professional hero. But, thinking about it, it makes sense; in their previous lives, everyone had trouble even getting a driver's license, let alone becoming a hero.

But honestly, Fang Mo hadn't expected that registration required an appointment.

After all, he had mainly been reading manga before, whether it was Murata's version or the original, it seemed that the appointment thing had never been mentioned.

He even thought that he could just go to the association to register.

But compared to the hero assessment.

The appointment was still relatively simple.

As the group walked and talked, they soon arrived at the Hero Association branch.

Just as Genos approached and spoke to the receptionist, the group quickly completed their registration.

The receptionist just asked for their names, ages, genders, and then casually operated the computer for a few minutes, and then told them the specific time and place for the hero test, the entire appointment process didn't even require showing identification.

This made Fang Mo breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, he and the Ancient One didn't have identification from this world.

Soon, the receptionist entered the information into the computer and then indicated that the hero assessment would be held the day after tomorrow at the sixth sub-venue.

And it's worth mentioning.

During the registration, a little incident occurred.

In Fang Mo's original expectation, there were only two groups registering, Saitama and Genos, himself and the Ancient One, which was quite balanced with one baldie leading each group.

But to Fang Mo's surprise.

Doctor Genus, behind him, after hearing about the hero's introduction, also insisted on registering.

After being brainwashed by Fang Mo, his personality was completely changed; not only was he gentle and kind, but he also had a bit of a silly and goofy feeling, and at this moment, when he heard that heroes were to protect world peace, he suddenly became interested.

And not only did he want to register himself.

He also wanted to register Armor Gorilla and Ground Dragon together.

But when these two creatures actually walked into the association branch, they gave the receptionist a big scare, thinking it was a monster invasion, and almost hit the alarm button. Luckily, Doctor Genus talked them down, barely convincing the receptionist that these two creatures were not monsters, just modified beings.

However, even so, the receptionist ultimately refused Doctor Genus's request.

The association indeed had strict rules stating that non-human modified beings were not allowed to become heroes.

Hearing this.

Doctor Genus also looked unhappy.

But fortunately, the Hero Association receptionist quickly added that although Armor Gorilla and Ground Dragon couldn't become heroes, they could still participate in activities under Doctor Genus's name.

This was somewhat similar to the S-Class hero Metal Knight, whose real body was also a scientist, then hiding behind the scenes to manipulate robots to enforce justice.

Of course, the detailed approval for Doctor Genus to become a hero still had to be decided by the association's upper management.

Currently, the receptionist had already relayed the message, and a result would probably come in a few days, but the receptionist also kindly reminded that if these modified beings' abilities were up to standard, the chances of passing the review were quite high.

Even though they experienced this small hiccup.

The group eventually succeeded in registering.

"Phew, finally done."

And after this, Saitama also took a long breath, looking quite excited: "After becoming a professional hero, I should have fans when I do hero activities in the future, right?"

"Of course."

Genos confidently said: "If it's the teacher, you'll definitely become the strongest hero!"

"But that's all for the future."

Saitama waved his hand with a smile, though still feeling quite happy: "For now, let's just go home and make something to eat, the sun is about to set...hmm?"

As he said this, Saitama seemed to suddenly realize something, turning his head to look at Fang Mo: "By the way, do you guys want to come to my place for some food? Since you just arrived here...you probably haven't found a place to stay yet? Wouldn't that mean staying in a hotel?"

"Oh, you didn't mention it, I almost forgot."

Hearing Saitama's words, Fang Mo also directly slapped his head and said: "I haven't had time to build a home this time."

"Build a home?"

Genos was startled: "Mr. Fang Mo, when you say build a home...is it in the way we understand, using building materials to construct a new house? Excuse me for being frank, but the land here is not free."

"Joking, I can afford the entire Z City."

Fang Mo laughed and waved his hand forward: "Enough, let's just head back near Saitama's place, I'll find a spot with good feng shui to show you a trick."

"A trick?" Saitama was curious: "What is that?"

"Far from the mundane world's ideal tricks!"

Aside from Ancient One, everyone listened with full faces of confusion, but Fang Mo didn't say much more, so they could only continue on their way in bewilderment.

And not long after.

The group returned to the uninhabited area of Z City.

Since it's called an uninhabited area, the environment here was obviously very poor.

For some reason, the monster activity in Z City was extremely severe, especially in the nearby areas, and over time the residents became afraid and moved away from this area, although the government, for policy reasons, did not cut off the water and electricity. However, due to the lack of people, no one was responsible for managing this area anymore.

Unfortunately, there were just too many monsters around, and the workers responsible for cleaning up this area had been killed off by the monsters many times.

So, over time, this area completely became a no man's land.

Currently, the ground here was all covered with dried blood stains, body fragments, and even some large pits of unclear significance, and even some buildings had collapsed a lot, some buildings even had a large hole in the middle, as if punched out by someone,

And the apartment building where Saitama lived was standing right in the middle of this uninhabited area.

"Sorry, the security environment here might be a bit poor."

Saitama seemed a bit embarrassed as he reached his building and touched his head towards Fang Mo: "No choice, after all, the rent here is very cheap."

"Yeah, after all, the landlord is dead."

Fang Mo heard this and casually made a comment, then started looking around.

And soon, he noticed a flat area nearby that looked like a parking lot, just to the right of Saitama's apartment building, which even had a dust-covered sedan parked in it.

"This place is not bad, it's mine."

Fang Mo said, walking directly towards the parking lot.

"Huh?"

Saitama was initially stunned, but soon followed: "That's a parking lot, right? You're not going to set up a tent, are you?"

"I can set up a tent, but not now."

Fang Mo didn't turn his head and said, then raised his hand, and the sedan in the parking lot was directly flung out by gravity, spinning and crashing on the nearby road with a loud bang.

"Don't throw other people's..."

Saitama started to say something, but before he could finish, he saw Fang Mo suddenly pull out a one-meter square box from behind, then casually placed it on the ground and suddenly flipped it open.

In the next second.

A luxurious villa rose from the ground.

"Nani!?"

Even Saitama was a bit surprised by this sight: "This...is amazing..."

"Hmm?" And Genos next to him was also stunned, but he quickly calmed down: "Is it some kind of spatial folding technology?"

"Wow, such a big house."

However, unlike the previous two, Doctor Genus on this side showed a happy face: "My friend is really amazing!"

But just as everyone was shocked by the house in front of them.

A creaking sound suddenly came from the front villa.

The door opened.
