Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 558: One of Fang Mo's Superpowers is Being Rich

It turns out that Fang Mo's predictions were indeed accurate.

Doctor Genus was completely drenched in sweat from running; it was not an exaggeration to say that he crawled to the finish line bit by bit.

Actually, before his amnesia, his physical condition wasn't this poor.

Back at the House of Evolution, Fang Mo had seen many clones running around with guns.

Mysteriously... after Doctor Genus suffered a mental breakdown, his physical strength also inexplicably declined a lot, to the point where he could no longer beat an ordinary person with bare hands.

Because of this, by the time Doctor Genus reached the finish line...

Fang Mo and the others had just finished a pot of tea.

Perhaps because Fang Mo and his companions' abilities and methods were somewhat extraordinary, and Genus was their friend, the staff didn't rush him too much.

Otherwise, with Genus's performance, he might have been directly pulled aside and persuaded to quit.

In any case, the first test came to an end.

Quickly, they began the next set of physical tests.

And these test items were very simple, such as shuttle runs, weightlifting, shot put, vertical jumps, whack-a-mole, and boxing tests.

Facing these upcoming tests...

Everyone brought out their most hidden and diverse skills.

For the shuttle runs, Saitama initiated a serious shuttle run, creating countless afterimages on the spot, dumbfounding the test staff.

Genos also used his rocket propulsion to fly back and forth. Although not as exaggerated as Saitama, his score was still very high, reaching the threshold of an S-class hero, and he was promptly given a perfect score by the testers.

All these...

Were the performance scores of the physical group.

But when it came to Fang Mo... the magic group's turn, the style immediately turned bizarre again.

The first to appear was the Ancient One. To be honest, her physical condition was quite average, otherwise she wouldn't have been killed by a fall, right?

But this old thing indeed used magic in front of the Muggles.

The magic the Ancient One used was none other than the spell Strange used to fight Thanos in Avengers 3.

In an instant, her form split into hundreds, hopping crazily on the spot like a swarm of jumping bugs.

As for Fang Mo himself, he performed a 360-degree repeated lateral jump with one hand. After all, he could manipulate gravity. So, he hopped on the ceiling for a while and then on the wall.

And just hopping back and forth was not enough.

Every time Fang Mo jumped, he would say a classic meme phrase.

Thus, the entire Hero Association's testing site soon looked like a hellish painting.

"Subordinates should not kiss their boss!"

"Patchouli, GO!"

"Just like harvesting leeks!"

"If you think you can defeat me with 17 cards, I'll eat this computer screen right now!"

"Why don't you go to the property management?"

"Big buttocks cracked, your mom died!"

"Pleasant Goat, you hurry up and push, Lazy Goat is out of energy!"

"Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

"Hello, I have been practicing for two and a half years..."

Fang Mo, a dimensional demon god, was having a blast, but this bizarre behavior was like spiritual pollution, gradually affecting the staff.

Although they couldn't understand the meaning of these words.

Some of the mentally weaker staff members had already started laughing.

After this test was over, one third of the staff immediately left the venue, the reason being quite simple: they went mad.

Of course, although Fang Mo was playing, he was not a traditional evil god with indescribable malice towards humanity, so this madness was only temporary, just like he had fun in the Marvel Universe and brought benefits along.

But that was a story for later. For now, let's not talk about that.

After that...

The group continued with some other tests.

Saitama continued his violent approach, following the path of one force breaking ten thousand laws, while the Ancient One and Genos relied on magic and technology, respectively, with Genus trailing behind them.

But when it came to Fang Mo...

He seemed to have found the correct way to handle the physical test.

In the weightlifting segment, he directly activated gravity reversal, lifting the entire Hero Association venue.

In shot put, he instantly activated the Nine-Tails Chakra Blade, performing a multi-shadow clone shot put technique, resulting in half of the venue's ceiling being smashed.

For the vertical jump, Fang Mo bent his knees and jumped up like Saitama, flying up to the stratosphere and casually taking a selfie with the stratosphere to show the staff, even managing to pull out sunglasses to wear in the photo, while making a 'yeah' gesture with one hand.

Of course, the most absurd was the whack-a-mole.

Others were hitting moles.

When it was Fang Mo's turn, the moles that popped out of the machine all had gray middle-parted hairstyles, and every time Fang Mo hammered one, the mole would cry out, "Ouch, what are you doing?"

Fang Mo's attack speed was, of course, very fast.

Thus, the entire venue resonated with this bizarre sound.

And when all the tests were completed, another half of the staff left the venue, again for the same reason: they were just ordinary people, and they couldn't handle it.

Even some staff members began to raise doubts.

Wondering if Fang Mo had turned into a monster.

But this suspicion had just been raised when suddenly, a special person from the association came over, indicating that Fang Mo was not a monster, but due to special circumstances, the tests were directly considered as full marks passed, and they wanted to invite him for a private talk.

Faced with this statement.

The staff present also agreed.

They weren't foolish; although unclear about what exactly the other party was, his strength was evident. Since the upper management wanted to invite him for a chat, they naturally had no objections.

After all, this guy leaving would be a good thing for them.

As for Fang Mo, he vaguely guessed something, nodded, and left with the other party, quickly arriving at an office-like place.

As the staff opened the door.

Fang Mo also noticed several men in suits inside.

Unlike the previous staff members, these middle-aged men just by appearance had a vague aura of superiors, clearly the upper echelons of the Hero Association.

At this moment, they seemed to be discussing something.

But upon seeing Fang Mo, they all tacitly stopped talking, and one of the leaders even proactively greeted him.

"All in all, congratulations to Mr. Fang Mo for passing the hero exam."

This middle-aged man looked rather amiable and spoke very politely: "First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Thales. Now that you've become a formal hero of the Hero Association, we are colleagues."

"Uh-huh, nice to talk."

Fang Mo, not interested in idle chatter, cut straight to the point: "By the way, when will my hero name be approved?"

"Approved?"

The other party paused for a moment, but quickly responded: "Oh... Mr. Fang Mo, you misunderstand, the hero name needs to be discussed collectively, so it's not decided yet."

At this point.

Thales was somewhat surprised inside.

He had already rehearsed several scenarios in his mind, like the other party might state his purpose, conditions, etc., but unexpectedly, what Fang Mo cared about most was the hero's name?

"What? A broken name still needs to wait for discussion by people below?"

Fang Mo was a bit unhappy upon hearing this: "I thought this name was designed by a few of you. Well... how long do I have to wait?"

"Normally, it takes a few days."

Thales thought for a moment and said: "However, given Mr. Fang Mo's strength... reaching an S-class standard, the matter of the hero name can be negotiated. Do you have any particular name you'd like to use?"

"Can I be called Yamata no Orochi?"

Fang Mo asked.

"Uh..."

Thales was taken aback, and it took him a long while to barely respond: "That name, Mr. Fang Mo, does it have any specific meaning? After all, it doesn't sound much like a hero's name."

"Eh? Not good?"

Fang Mo also scratched his head: "Then I'll change it, um, how about the Copper Emperor?"

"… Do you have a grudge against Child Emperor?"

Thales held his forehead.

"F*ck, how could that be possible?" Fang Mo responded with a shrug: "You can tell by the name, I genuinely like this kid. Back when I was a priest..."

"Sorry, Mr. Fang Mo."

Thales said with a headache: "This name might cause misunderstandings, could you change it?"

"Then call me Original God."

(TL: Genshin/Primordial God/Original God yep, Genshin)

Fang Mo said.

"Original God…" Thales was about to nod in agreement, but considering Fang Mo's somewhat… weird character, he thought for a moment and asked again: "Does this have any special meaning?"

"Have you heard of the atomic bomb?"

Fang Mo said: "The two most famous atomic bombs in history, one called Little Boy, the other called Fat Man. You see, Child Emperor is like Little Boy, and Pig God is like Fat Man. As God loves the world… that way, I can love both at once, right?"

"…"

Thales didn't know what to say after hearing this.

As a senior member of the association who often dealt with S-class heroes, he knew these guys were basically self-willed problem children.

But Fang Mo's issue was a bit too damn severe, even for him to handle.

If it wasn't for Tatsumaki personally telling him that this guy's strength was no less than Blast, he would never have personally come here to invite him to join.

After all, although Tatsumaki is arrogant, she has never lied about someone. Since she acknowledged Fang Mo's strength, plus the terrifying battle traces outside the mysterious laboratory... it just showed that Fang Mo's strength was really off the charts, and naturally, the association would want to try their best to recruit him.

Thinking of this, Thales had no choice but to stiffen up and speak again.

"Mr. Fang Mo."

Thales tried to choose his words carefully: "From the information you previously filled out, you are a Sorcerer, right? How about a name related to this aspect?"

"Yeah."

Hearing this, another senior member couldn't help but speak up: "Why not just call him Super Sorcerer?"

"I suspect the Hero Association's upper echelon lacks a brainstem."

Fang Mo immediately commented, then began to complain with a speechless face: "Isn't it, how can you be so casual with names, even Sorcerer Supreme sounds better, right?"

"How about you be called Sorcerer Supreme then?"

Another senior member said.

"No, that name is reserved by my apprentice."

Fang Mo heard this and waved his hand to refuse: "My chicken… I am so old, how can I compete with my apprentice for a title?"

"Apprentice?"

The first middle-aged man heard this and was slightly stunned: "May I ask who your apprentice is...?"

"Oh, did you see that bald head earlier?"

Fang Mo casually said: "That female bald head, she is my apprentice, named Ancient One."

"I see."

Thales nodded subconsciously upon hearing this, as he had also heard about this from Tatsumaki before, who mentioned that the person seemed to be some kind of ancient guardian, so having an apprentice seemed quite normal.

Thinking of this, Thales spoke again: "So, you intend to bring your apprentice to join our Hero Association this time?"

"Any problem?"

Fang Mo directly tilted his head to ask.

"No, not at all." The other party slowly shook his head: "Rather, we are very welcome to your joining, but let's put the hero name aside for now, we can discuss some more important matters, such as salary treatment… Mr. Fang Mo, any thoughts?"

"Oh, you're talking about salary."

Fang Mo heard this and waved his hand very casually: "Then just… start with a few tens of millions a month, how about that?"

"A few tens of millions…"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, the people present gasped.

"This… this…"

A few of the overly fat guys immediately panicked. In fact, the association's funds could afford this amount, but…

The reason they had become so fat was not without cause.

At this point, the few upper echelons immediately exchanged glances, then turned their pleading eyes towards the leader, that is, Thales.

"…"

Seeing this scene, Thales deeply sighed.

He understood the chaos within the association, but he really was powerless in this matter, so after some thought, he adjusted his tone and started speaking to Fang Mo: "Actually, our Hero Association is just sponsored by the wealthy Agni, and the funds we can allocate are limited, we really can't afford to pay you so much…"

However, what everyone didn't expect was.

Fang Mo heard this and showed a puzzled expression: "What? When did I say this was my salary?"

"Nani?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

"This is the salary I'm offering you guys."
