Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 529: Chapter 526: Going to One Punch Man World!

Looking at the green-covered book in his hands, Fang Mo instantly understood the meaning behind the other person's words.

The book was titled "Knowledge Book," and beneath it was something resembling a durability bar, which was described in English as belonging to "thermalfoundation."

"Thermal Foundation" mod.

It was part of the comprehensive suite associated with the "Thermal Expansion" mod.

Recalling the speculations made earlier by the mischievous Xiao Yao, Fang Mo thought of a clever workaround: to store the experience points from Steve into the book, materialize it, and thus circumvent the nauseating mechanism that strength could only be gained by consuming essence berries.

It's also worth mentioning.

The storage capacity of this book was astonishing.

If Steve had not acquired any experience, consuming a fully loaded "Knowledge Book" could potentially raise his experience to about level sixty-three.

Whereas with essence berries, he would need to eat at least two hundred bunches.

You know, essence berries look a lot like grapes, but what normal person can eat over two hundred bunches in one sitting?

And the taste of essence berries... just one is unbearable, let alone so many. Over the years, Fang Mo has tricked many into eating them—people like Hayakawa Aki and Himeno, who all clenched their fists and gritted their teeth as they swallowed.

But the "Knowledge Book" was different.

It not only circumvented the disgusting mechanism of essence berries but its effect was equivalent to three or four batches of them.

"Could this be the legendary..."

Thinking thus, Fang Mo gazed at the green book in his hand and mused, "...Book of Age?"

"Yes, I just finished making it."

Upon hearing this, the mischievous Xiao Yao winked slyly: "Come on, try it while it's hot."

"Ah, that is not quite right..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately retorted, "I'm using it just to fill it with essence. You are the one who's really frail, so once I've filled it up, you should take this book back and eat it. Isn't this the 'Knowledge Book'? Just get two slices of bread, and have a 'life sandwich'... two slices of bread with knowledge in between."

After saying this, Fang Mo no longer paid attention to his companion's fallen face.

Instead, he earnestly studied the "Knowledge Book."

Although Fang Mo didn't know the exact recipe for making the "Knowledge Book," he had used it before on servers.

Thermal Expansion, known as a baby's first tech mod, also featured tools and machines that were straightforward and easy to use.

Naturally, the "Knowledge Book" was no exception.

Right-click to store one level of experience, shift+right-click to retrieve one level from inside.

But it's worth mentioning... since each level of experience in Steve required a different amount of experience, after reaching a hundred levels, just a few levels were enough to fill up an entire "Knowledge Book."

As for Fang Mo's Steve.

This monster had a whopping five hundred levels of experience.

A small part of it came from mining and smelting, but most were generated by power devices, which run non-stop.

During Fang Mo's time in the Minecraft world.

Just letting Steve idle for a while would accumulate a massive amount of experience.

This was without Fang Mo even deliberately collecting it; otherwise, it might have reached a thousand levels by now.

"Come on, watch me perform."

After fiddling with the green book a bit, Fang Mo suddenly got an idea and showed a mischievous smile to his partner.

Then, before his companion could react, Fang Mo suddenly stepped behind Steve.

Under the puzzled gaze of the Xiao Yao, a very subtle expression appeared on Fang Mo's face, like a mix of pleasure and discomfort. He closed his eyes, brewing something, then with a thought, he controlled Steve to start furiously right-clicking the "Knowledge Book," while he himself shouted loudly.

"Hmm... Hmm-hmm... Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Under the shocked gaze of the young girl, a torrent of experience flowed into the "Knowledge Book."

In less than a blink of an eye, the progress bar at the bottom of the book was completely full.

"Alright, done."

After the performance, Fang Mo, grinning happily, controlled Steve and wanted to hand the green-covered book to the distant Xiao Yao: "Here, don't be shy, just take it and use it."

"..."

However, upon seeing Fang Mo's actions, the young girl retreated several steps.

"Hey, his grandmother's, why won't she eat!" Fang Mo, still cheerful, feigned ignorance and said sternly, "Eat! Come on, eat!"

At this moment, Fang Mo had a thought.

Suddenly, the scenery around them began to change, quickly transforming into the landscape of the planet Ego.

This place was a dimension space realized by Fang Mo, more suitable than the MC world for actualizing tomes of knowledge.

Seeing that the other party did not react, Fang Mo casually took the book himself. The moment his fingertips touched it, a white light shone, and in the next second, a heavy green book appeared in his hand, filled with what seemed to be magical runes.

Through the book's cover, Fang Mo could feel the vast experience contained within.

Experience isn't merely pure energy; it's something even more profound, like the essence of some form of life.

Fang Mo couldn't quite define it, but it could indeed empower people without limit.

He could even feel it.

As soon as someone opened this book.

The essence within would be completely absorbed by the reader.

"Come on, give it a try." With this thought, Fang Mo directly handed the book to the Xiao Yao: "No jokes this time, I really do want to make you stronger, seriously."

"...Okay."

Xiao Yao thought for a moment and then reached out to take the book.

"Just open it, that's all." Fang Mo reminded from the side.

Hearing this, the Xiao Yao nodded, then used her fingertips to open the book. The next second, with a loud bang, a fountain of gold-green light burst forth from within.

Xiao Yao was startled by the scene, instinctively raising her hands to shield herself.

But the gold-green light, as if it had a will of its own, rushed directly at her, enveloping her entire body in an instant, forcefully merging with her.

"Uh..."

Xiao Yao was initially stunned, then quickly clutched her stomach.

Soon, her complexion turned somewhat pale; she covered her mouth as if trying to suppress something, but ultimately, she couldn't hold back and suddenly vomited a mouthful of essence berry juice.

"Huh?"

Fang Mo was clearly taken aback at this scene.

This time, he had used a Knowledge Book, which in theory should have bypassed the essence berry judgment, so why did she still vomit juice from the essence berries?

"Are you alright?"

After a moment, Fang Mo asked with concern.

"I vomited." Xiao Yao knelt on the ground, looking weakly at Fang Mo in front of her: "Why did I choose to trust you, I'm really foolish..."

"This..."

Fang Mo scratched his head: "Do you still have the book? Let me try."

Xiao Yao didn't speak.

She just had Alex pass over a book.

With a thought from Fang Mo, Steve immediately took the Knowledge Book, right-clicked it a few times to fill it with experience, and then handed it back to Fang Mo.

Fang Mo took the Knowledge Book, and a flash of white light indicated the realization was complete.

Without any hesitation, Fang Mo immediately opened the book, and soon a large ball of gold-green light flew out, surging into Fang Mo's body.

And it was at this moment.

Fang Mo finally understood why the other party had vomited.

As the experience surged into his body, Fang Mo immediately felt a sense of fullness.

It was like swallowing a whole swamp in one gulp, a cold, sticky, taboo decay constantly churning and wriggling in his stomach, as if he had ingested not ordinary knowledge, but some kind of indescribable forbidden knowledge.

"Damn, it turns out to be a Cthulhu Knowledge Book..."

Fang Mo clutched his stomach, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "What the hell, this shit disaster?"

Indeed, due to his robust physique, although the sensation of fullness was very intense, it wouldn't actually make him vomit, considering Fang Mo's current physical condition, he could probably swallow a live missile without getting hurt.

But Fang Mo's partner was different.

Although his body has been digitalized, his strength seems to be no different from that of an ordinary person.

"You're really unharmed?" Seeing that Fang Mo was fine after consuming a book, the Xiao Yao on this side was also quite surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you throw up?"

"Probably because my physical constitution is stronger than yours; I'm not afraid of overeating."

Fang Mo continued to look down at the Knowledge Book in his hands, simply replying with this sentence upon hearing the remark.

"Is this really a matter of overeating?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but retort, "Isn't it obviously a matter of taste? Even though it's transformed from a Knowledge Book, it still tastes disgusting... no, it's even more disgusting. I don't ever want to touch this stuff again, absolutely not."

"Um... alright then."

Fang Mo thought for a moment but soon nodded in agreement.

Since the other party had already consumed a book, their basic strength should be secured; he really didn't need to force the other to continue consuming such things.

However, for himself.

He could actually gather a few more of these books to consume.

The other party is a girl, and it's normal for her not to accept this stuff, but Fang Mo, eager to become stronger, didn't care about these things, and eating these books was just too convenient.

Essence berries still require waiting for the berry bushes to grow.

But with the Knowledge Book, you could just have Steve run the electric generation device non-stop, and it also has a large storage capacity, emphasizing quantity over quality.

Instead of eating essence berries 24 hours a day, it's much better to eat a book every morning.

This increases efficiency by many times.

"Yeah, I've decided, I'll get more of these books to eat."

Thinking this, Fang Mo clapped his hands and then turned to look at the Xiao Yao not far away, "You go back and make two boxes for me, buddy. In the next world, I'm going to arm-wrestle with Saitama."

"You do what makes you happy."

Xiao Yao didn't say much, just sighed with a hand on her forehead.

Afterward, with a slight thought, the two quickly returned to the MC world.

Xiao Yao, still feeling a bit nauseous, nonetheless controlled Alex and prepared a large batch of Knowledge Books, specifically storing them in the central warehouse.

As for Fang Mo.

He was quite happy about this.

With a thought, Steve solemnly began to fill these books with knowledge.

Fortunately, the Knowledge Books are just items without self-awareness and wouldn't say anything strange like, "Guh, kill me."

And as for Xiao Yao.

She hardly paid any attention to what Fang Mo was doing.

To alleviate the feeling of nausea, she focused all her attention on Alex, continuing to fiddle with her collection of industrial machines.

And this research.

Quickly, several days passed.

Currently, on the platform to the east, the machines from the thermal expansion and industrial era were almost fully formed, with various upgrades and overclocking plugins also installed in abundance.

However, Xiao Yao had no intention of stopping, she started working on other machines, such as level storage, technological renaissance, even forestry machines, and she also seemed to be accumulating parts for wind turbines and solar arrays. The sticky sugar cane field had also been cultivated and was now expanding.

Fang Mo looked at the industrial base in front of him and felt a bit of a headache for no reason.

He actually wanted to spend more time with the other party, but after staying for a few days... he realized this little thing had no intention of stopping at all.

A digitalized body doesn't feel fatigue.

This was originally just a supplementary feature, but it was being used by the other as capital for progress.

Fang Mo knew that it was the beginning of the industrial era, and there was a lot to be busy with, but he couldn't really help with these things, so it wasn't long before he got bored.

After thinking it over, Fang Mo decided to go play in the next instance.

"That, the One Punch World, are you going?"

Fang Mo pondered for a moment, then asked the little one busy to death, "I'm thinking of going to play, want to come along?"

"Next time for sure."

However, Xiao Yao, without even lifting her head, responded after hearing Fang Mo's words, "You're so behind in progress, I need to get your infrastructure done first, you go play, I'll work a bit more, call me when you get to the Monster Association Arc."

"Oh, alright."

Fang Mo shrugged his shoulders upon hearing this, then directly pulled out the gold-covered book, "Then I'm off, if you need anything, just call me on the public channel."

"You... be careful."

The other nodded, then rarely looked up at Fang Mo.

"Rest easy."

Fang Mo smiled and then controlled Steve to open the Book of Ages, accompanied by a familiar sound effect, endless black particles swiftly surged out from the book.

Amidst the spreading black mist.

Fang Mo's figure was completely engulfed.
