Chapter 584: Meeting Super Alloy Darkshine

In the end, Sonic was still tricked by Fang Mo.

There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, Fang Mo, being master to Sonic and Mumen Rider, he had the ultimate authority to interpret such matters.

Despite their high suspicions, Fang Mo insisted that the item given to Bang was merely an ordinary ornament, a golden apple-shaped decoration crafted from pure gold, not the magical golden apple previously given to Mumen Riders.

After this small episode,

The two quickly immersed themselves back into household chores.

It's unknown if it was the allure of the reward, but Mumen Rider and Sonic worked with exceptional diligence.

Due to Mumen Rider having consumed both ordinary and enchanted golden apples, his strength and endurance now clearly surpassed Sonic's. Thus, Ah Xue had assigned all the physically demanding tasks to him.

Like chopping wood, for example...

Indeed, despite Fang Mo's villa being equipped with various advanced technologies, it also retained some traditional equipment from Western culture, like fireplaces, pizza ovens, and specifically, smokers for meat.

As mentioned above,

Ah Xue still occasionally used firewood.

Thus, tasks like chopping wood, organizing the wine and spirits in the cellar, turning hams and dairy products, and filling the large holes formed around the villa from their fights... became the main duties of Mumen Rider.

As for Sonic,

His primary task was still cleaning the house.

Like sweeping, wiping tables, or mopping and scrubbing toilets.

As a bystander, Fang Mo could tell that Sonic was holding back a competitive spirit, gritting his teeth and aiming to outperform Mumen Rider.

Mumen Rider, however, lacked a competitive mindset but was extremely grateful to Fang Mo. He took his tasks very seriously, especially under Ah Xue's instruction, meticulously noting everything while performing household duties, making him virtually faultless.

Just like that,

Several days passed quickly.

During this period, Metal Knight also made a special contact with Fang Mo.

The two mainly discussed issues about gold trading. Metal Knight mentioned that the hedgehog-like creature had run away, hence the cancellation of that deal, and shifted to discussing the trading price of gold.

Fang Mo didn't bring up Sonic, instead handing over a procurement list directly to the other party.

This list was compiled by Doctor Genus over several days, detailing all the equipment needed for the "reconstruction" of the Tower of Babel.

Being a scientific genius on his side, Metal Knight had resources almost astronomical in scale, even capable of swiftly rebuilding civilization after a disaster, and it seemed he had been waiting for this day.

And indeed, it was much as Fang Mo had thought.

Upon reviewing the list, Metal Knight's tone even carried a hint of surprised relief: "Are you sure… that's all you need?"

"Are you mocking me?"

Fang Mo casually retorted: "Then make it five times more..."

"Oh, no problem."

However, even so, Metal Knight's tone remained as easygoing as ever: "If it's just that little, I can have it ready before the sun sets today, so where do you want these goods delivered? Z City? Oh right, I have quite a few robots used for digging underground labs, do you need them?"

"Do you think my armadillo needs that sort of thing?"

Fang Mo thoughtlessly shook his head: "Just send the goods over, but not to Z City."

"Why?"

Metal Knight curiously asked: "Aren't you living in Z City? Why not send it there?"

"Well…"

Fang Mo hesitated slightly upon hearing this.

If he remembered correctly, Z City's underground was actually a vast labyrinthine town, supposedly inhabited by the Subterraneans… that is, in the original story, the Subterranean King who was stomped to death by Saitama.

But because the Subterranean King was stomped to death by Saitama,

These subterraneans had all fled, and subsequently, the area was targeted by the Monster Association as a base for their various monster recruitment activities.

So, if Fang Mo were to dig a basement there, he would most likely end up in the Monster Association.

Of course, Fang Mo wasn't afraid of these monsters, but the problem was, if he really got into a conflict with these monsters… it was very likely that he would end up annihilating them.

Whether it was the Monster King Orochi or the Mysterious Being Golden Sperm, a single strike from Fang Mo would undoubtedly be fatal.

Then many iconic scenes would no longer be visible.

Like the "Don't underestimate me, old man" kind of scenes, honestly, Fang Mo still wanted to take more photos with his phone to share with his partner later.

"emmm…"

Fang Mo touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then said: "Anyway, you don't need to worry about it, just send the materials to… uh, which W Cityas the House of Evolution in again?"

"…"

Metal Knight remained silent.

"Wow, I really have to admire how lazy this author is, to use letters to name cities; this isn't the Earth in the starting point of the Chinese universe… is it afraid of censorship or what?"

Fang Mo thought for a long time, finally just shrugged and said: "Forget it, I can't be bothered to think, just send it to the place where I secretly filmed Tatsumaki's Panty, Metal Knight, you know the place, right?"

"…Why should I know about such things?"

Metal Knight said without a voice.

"Then let me put it another way." Fang Mo touched his chin: "It was last month, I think, when I shot an arrow that blew up several mountains and punched a hole in the atmosphere… I remember it should be cordoned off by the Association now, right?"

"That place."

Hearing this, Metal Knight seemed to realize as well: "I've also been watching that area, but my research direction is different, so I didn't continue to pay attention."

"Just drop the stuff there then."

Fang Mo said: "I'll send someone over for the handover soon… by the way, how much gold do you need?"

"Can I have a thousand tons?"

Metal Knight thought for a moment and asked.

But just as Metal Knight finished speaking, Fang Mo suddenly sounded surprised, deliberately retorting: "Are you sure… that's all the gold you need?"

"…"

Metal Knight fell silent again.

"I thought you were richer." Fang Mo continued to tease cheerfully: "Turns out you can't even swallow a single batch of gold nuggets, weak, you can't even match the neighboring Dark Knight."

"Has anyone ever told you…"

Metal Knight took a breath: "You really are a vengeful person?"

"The last person who knew I held grudges has already been sealed into a terrifying abyss filled with defenses." Fang Mo said cheerfully.

"…I'll go prepare the materials needed for the transaction now."

Metal Knight really couldn't continue the conversation and quickly cut off the communication with Fang Mo.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Mo's mood was unexpectedly quite good, so he directly took out a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them on the sofa, casually throwing the shells on the floor.

And when he saw Sonic trembling with anger but still enduring and sweeping the floor…

Fang Mo's mood got even better.

Anyway, the afternoon passed quickly.

And after dinner, he quickly summoned Ancient One and had her open a portal at the original site of the House of Evolution in the suburbs of W City.

Metal Knight was indeed efficient.

In just half a day, he had prepared everything.

The handover process went smoothly, involving various checks, contracts, and transfer agreements, as well as a large number of instruments needed by Genus.

Fang Mo himself didn't understand technology, but fortunately, Armored Gorilla and Ground Dragon, two operators who were very familiar with the previous House of Evolution, were there, not to mention Genus himself remembered these.

He had only lost his personality, but his skills remained.

So, upon receiving the experimental equipment, he immediately began to build the new base excitedly.

It was just a pity that Genus was starting from scratch now. With only him and two operators, it was very difficult to rebuild a large laboratory, so Fang Mo had to stay and help him a bit.

This help quickly took them to the next morning.

And after a night of effort, the rough outline of the Tower of Babel had already appeared.

It was a giant spiral-shaped tower, mainly framed with metal, also filled with various stone materials from Minecraft, like cobblestones.

Actually, with Fang Mo's current strength.

Creating a building was really a matter of minutes.

After all, his standing was there, just using the Arcane Ring alone could simulate effects similar to Wood Release, and if he added the Nine-Tails Sword, then combining chakra to use Earth Release would also be no problem.

Besides, there was also his practice formation.

Although Fang Mo wasn't skilled with it, making a big matchbox was still very easy.

But he was really not familiar with the technological side, like where pipes needed to be reserved, where additional reinforcement was necessary, and other messy details like energy rooms and isolation zones… these all needed to be confirmed by Doctor Genus.

So, in the end.

Fang Mo got a bit lazy about doing it himself.

So he simply activated magic, summoning the Shoggoths to help build.

As mentioned before, the essence of Shoggoth had already been elevated to something like an outer god… or a dimensional demon, and the little sticky masses that Fang Mo usually played with were actually just pieces with their own consciousness.

At this moment, Fang Mo raised his hand.

Billions of Shoggoths poured out like a black sea from the abyssal rift.

In the setting of the Cthulhu mythos, Shoggoths were originally a kind of universal tool, as ancient servants, they naturally had abilities similar to "engineering machinery."

Building things, they were actually very good at.

So Fang Mo simply handed over the task of building the Tower of Babel to the Shoggoths.

Of course, there was another reason Fang Mo wanted to be a hands-off manager… that was because Ah Xue had just called him, saying that a guest had arrived at home and was waiting for him.

Honestly, Fang Mo had no interest in whatever guest it was.

But he wasn't a building party either, and he wasn't interested in continuously building houses either.

So after weighing the pros and cons a bit, Fang Mo immediately explained the reason to Genus, then teleported back inside the villa.

And upon returning to the villa,

Fang Mo also felt a long sigh of relief.

But soon, he suddenly heard a voice not far away.

"Priest, you're back?"

Fang Mo heard this voice, his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately looked towards the direction of the sofa.

And so looking, Fang Mo found that he had indeed not misheard, the visiting guest was indeed the Puri-Puri Prisoner who had previously invited him, currently gently resting his hands on his chin and looking at him tenderly.

Honestly, at the moment of seeing this scene.

Fang Mo wanted to use a Super Shinra Tensei to blow up the villa.

But just as this thought arose, he suddenly noticed the Puri-Puri Prisoner's companion sitting next to him, a tall and muscular black man.

"…Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo was a bit stunned as well.

The black muscular man across seemed to have noticed Fang Mo, suddenly deliberately puffing his chest, his biceps and pectoral muscles jumping twice, almost as if showing off his muscles.

As if awakening from a bloodline.

The irritation in Fang Mo's heart suddenly vanished without a trace.

In its place, a particularly amiable smile appeared on his face, almost in a stride he entered the living room, warmly greeting the Puri-Puri Prisoner.

"Ah, isn't this the Puri-Puri Prisoner?"

As Fang Mo spoke, he cheerfully patted the other's shoulder: "Rare visitor, you say you come and you come, why bring any gifts, isn't that being too formal?"

"Ah? Gifts?"

The Puri-Puri Prisoner seemed utterly confused: "…I didn't bring any gifts."

"What are we being polite for?" But Fang Mo didn't care at all, just smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen: "Ah Xue, quickly bring two watermelons here."

"Yes, master."

Ah Xue in the kitchen couldn't help but smile.

She of course knew her master's bad taste, so she expertly began cutting the watermelons, quickly serving them to the living room: "Guests, please enjoy."

"Ah, thank you."

The Puri-Puri Prisoner immediately said.

And the black muscular man next to him also thanked her.

"By the way, Priest."

After hearing his companion's voice, the slightly flustered Puri-Puri Prisoner finally reacted, hurriedly patted the black muscular man next to him and said: "Let me introduce you to my friend, this is the S-rank hero Super Alloy Darkshine… I usually call him Little Black."

Indeed, the person sitting next to the Puri-Puri Prisoner was the hero ranked 11th in the original series, the muscle-pride body strength faction, Super Alloy Darkshine.

"Hello, Priest!"

Hearing his friend introducing him, Super Alloy Darkshine also cooperated and widened his eyes, greeting Fang Mo.

Of course, this was not because he was angry or anything, but his facial features were just like that, thick lips, thick eyebrows, always staring with two round big eyes, plus a bald head, honestly, his appearance looked even more peculiar than Saitama or the Watchdog Man, making one couldn't help but want to comment.

"Oh, so you are Darkshine."

And in response to Super Alloy Darkshine's greeting, Fang Mo also smiled and replied: "I've heard a lot about you, I'm the newly joined S-rank hero, Black Watch, please take care of me in the future."
