Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 606: The Guy who's egg exploded -Sonic

[System Notification: Iron Fist Steve Mod Loaded Successfully.]

After hearing the system's notification, Fang Mo immediately showed an expression of "just as I expected."

From the very beginning, when Bang mentioned boxing and the system triggered the unlock notification, Fang Mo had already vaguely guessed the content of this mod.

Among the many mods, only a few involve "boxing."

As for this so-called Iron Fist Steve mod, it is actually a very classic... and even an overly ancient mod.

In Fang Mo's memory, this mod seems to be from version 1.6, born at the same time as the popular Bear Grylls mod (an ancient version of another eating MOD), and due to various gaming forums being mixed at the time, this mod was even confused with the Fist of the North Star mod for a while.

Similarly, like the mods for Box-Loaded World, Level Storage, Bamboo, Grey/Mystical 4, and other ancient mods, the Iron Fist Steve mod remained in version 1.7.10 forever, becoming a tear of the times.

Iron Fist Steve mod, as the name implies, is a mod that takes unarmed functionality to the extreme.

If I remember correctly, this mod adds seven levels to Steve's right hand.

As you mine blocks barehanded, you slowly level up, and at higher levels, you can mine stones, ores, and even obsidian barehanded at a rather absurd speed.

And it's not just about mining blocks; as the levels increase, Steve can even plow fields barehanded, punch out monsters, and whether it's attack speed or power, it's more absurd than equivalent diamond gear. That's really incredible.

But before reaching the full level, if you mine too many blocks barehanded, it forcibly deducts health.

According to the author, this is because Steve's hands got rubbed raw from too much mining, needing a rest before continuing.

Despite the "bleeding from mining" setting, it couldn't stop players from loving this mod.

In fact, Fang Mo feels the same way.

After all, this mod is a functional mod, meaning it doesn't add any items but simply enhances gameplay, similar to mods like mini-maps, super backpacks, and binge eating.

Typically, the abilities of such functional mods extend from Steve to Fang Mo.

It just so happens that here is the world of One Punch Man, so it seems appropriate for Fang Mo to practice his boxing a bit, doesn't it?

"So it turns out, this is the charm of boxing."

Thinking of this, Fang Mo suddenly clenched his fist and started ranting: "Strength! Domination! Power! It seems like from today, I will start learning to box!!!"

"...Huh?"

Having just performed a series of Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Bang was a bit stunned when he heard this.

Fang Mo is interested in his own boxing techniques... While Bang was happy about this, Fang Mo's current performance seemed a bit too much. Surely he hadn't gone mad just from watching him punch, had he?

"Ha ha, this battle technique is indeed interesting!"

Before Bang could think more about it, Boros, standing next to him, also chuckled and nodded his head.

However, he hadn't watched Bang's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist but simply swung the scroll in his hand and said, "It seems that although humans have poor physical quality, they have unexpectedly developed many interesting techniques."

At this point, Boros also casually threw a punch to the side.

Despite only swinging at the air, his fist emitted a violent power, not the energy from within his body, but a pure form of qi.

"Is this... Exploding Heart Release Fist?"

Seeing this, Bomb, standing nearby, was clearly startled.

Just from watching the scroll once, the other had learned the boxing technique personally sealed by his younger brother. This one-eyed monster's talent was truly frightening.

"Ha ha, too interesting."

Boros then laughed heartily for a few moments before eagerly looking at Fang Mo: "Come on, Fang Mo, I can't wait anymore. Let's have a three hundred-round fight, using this so-called Release bined with my Meteor Burst Mode!"

"I'm not ready with my boxing yet."

However, hearing this, Fang Mo unexpectedly shook his head directly. Boros might have learned the Exploding Heart Release Fist, but he hadn't had time to study his Iron Fist yet.

"You've seen it all, haven't you?"

Boros asked dissatisfiedly: "Can't you learn it just by watching once?"

"I did learn the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist," Fang Mo casually prevaricated: "But I want to comprehend a boxing style that's unique to me."

"He... he learned that too?"

Upon hearing this, Bomb was even more shocked. What kind of talent did these two have?

"Your own boxing style?"

Boros, however, wasn't bothered by Bomb and curiously looked at Fang Mo: "What's that?"

"Lady Unvirtuous, Intentional Bombing Punch!" Fang Mo immediately raised his right fist and said, "With this one punch, my qi will extend to the edges of the universe, erasing even the great paths."

"That sounds interesting."

Boros nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Well then, we'll fight after you've perfected it!"

"Sigh..."

Seeing that Fang Mo hadn't really gone mad, Bang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he hadn't expected Boros to take an interest in his own boxing, he really had no reason to stop him, and Fang Mo was also planning to learn boxing, so he'd leave that to him to handle.

"Anyway, I'm off to find the Garou, so I won't disturb you guys anymore."

Thinking this, Bang actively said goodbye to everyone: "Then my brother and I will take our leave now. If there's anything about boxing you'd like to discuss...we'll wait until this matter is over, of course, assuming I'm still alive by then."

"Take care, it'll be fine."

Unlocking a nice new mod, Fang Mo was clearly in a good mood, cheerfully patting Bang on the shoulder: "Just hang in there and don't mess up, and once this is over, I'll treat you to a trip to the brothel... to experience some exotic charm."

"...Let's not do that."

Hearing what Fang Mo said, Bang's originally serious face turned helpless, and he rubbed his forehead in frustration: "Let the mistakes of my youth pass; I've really reformed now."

And with Bang's refusal, the somewhat oppressive atmosphere also instantly dissipated by a large margin.

But despite the joking, Bang was indeed worried about the Garou, so he didn't linger much and quickly pulled Bomb away after saying goodbye.

And not long after Bang and his brother left...

Soon after, Sonic suddenly spoke up.

"I heard Bang is an old man, right?" Sonic, gripping a broom handle, stared at Fang Mo and asked, "So can you explain why he's become so young now?"

"Maybe it's good maintenance."

Fang Mo bluffed: "Didn't he just say? He avoids women, maybe that's why. I heard Bang is a level 10 member of the abstainers' club..."

"Nonsense!"

Sonic immediately became angry, throwing the broom handle to the ground.

He wasn't a fool; it was obvious to him after a little thought. Clearly, the golden apple Fang Mo had previously given to Bang was real, and the guy had reverted to youth after eating the apple. It seems that item was really some kind of rare treasure.

"You're targeting me, aren't you?"

The more Sonic thought about it, the angrier he felt, suspecting Fang Mo was just playing some game with him and almost couldn't help but start a fight.

Although he really thought so, when it came time to actually start a fight, Sonic hesitated again, still facing the same problem—he couldn't beat Fang Mo.

From Sonic becoming human again to him doing housework had already been nearly a week.

And in this week of living together, he had gathered a lot of information from many small details.

Like the housemaid... Ms. Ah Xue's words, she occasionally mentioned some things about Fang Mo while doing housework, and the more Sonic heard, the more shocked he became. What did she mean by "the last world"? And what was all this about getting so angry in the morning that he blew up a planet several times?

Just thinking about it made Sonic uneasy.

But after a few days of doing housework, Sonic's own mindset had also changed a bit.

He indeed couldn't beat Fang Mo now, but he could train. Sonic was still very confident in his own talent. Just by doing housework at Fang Mo's house and occasionally listening to Fang Mo's guidance to others... like the idealist theory he told the Puri-Puri Prisoner, Sonic had already started to have some insights in just a few days.

He imagined the dust as his enemies, and the broom as his sword.

Everyone knows that dust flies chaotically with a slight stir. How should he wield his "sword" to accurately cut down these dust particles?

Sonic researched this every day, and he had already gained some insight. It was a skill difficult to express clearly in words but surprisingly effective. Sonic believed that if he replaced the broom with a sword, he could definitely kill many guys he couldn't kill before.

You should know, this was a ninjutsu he had realized on his own.

Even the powerful ninja villages of the past had not taught him such a perfect technique.

Because of this, Sonic was convinced that as long as he continued to stay here, he would definitely learn more and eventually surpass that damn teacher, Fang Mo.

Thinking this, Sonic accepted his situation.

Of course, even if he accepted it, he would still be upset if treated unfairly, like how Fang Mo clearly had golden apples but would rather give them to Bang than to himself.

"You..."

Sonic was about to say a few words in anger, but just then, the door creaked open, and a young girl he had never seen before walked in, interrupting him.

"It's so noisy early in the morning."

The girl yawned lazily, then looked a bit annoyed as she rubbed her head, suspiciously looking at Fang Mo: "Did you do something to me last night? I remember I wasn't sleepy at all, but suddenly I just fell asleep out of nowhere."

"...?"

This abrupt statement suddenly made the entire basement go quiet.

Boros, the Mumen Rider, and Sonic all looked at Fang Mo with a strange gaze.

"Well, Mr. Fang Mo..." In the end, it was the most righteous Mumen Rider who spoke up, asking tentatively: "If I may ask bluntly, you haven't committed any crimes, have you?"

"What the hell."

Fang Mo immediately rubbed his forehead: "This is your legitimate mistress, do you think I need to commit crimes?"

"Nani?"

Hearing this, Sonic and the Mumen Rider were stunned again, and after a brief shock, Sonic immediately sneered: "Heh, scum, I think you're already breaking the law..."

"Well..." The Mumen Rider tried to uphold his master's dignity: "Junior brother, Mr. Fang Mo isn't that kind of person."

But after saying this, the Mumen Rider suddenly remembered Fang Mo's quirky behavior on a daily basis, and subconsciously turned his head, looking at Fang Mo with a questioning tone: "...I'm right, aren't I, Mr. Fang Mo?"

"What's with that tone of doubt?"

Seeing the scene before him, Fang Mo obviously felt annoyed: "Your mistress is even older than me, okay? She just looks young."

Having said this,

Fang Mo also turned to his partner: "You agree, right, Xiao Yao?"

"Who are these people...?"

However, hearing the conversation, Xiao Yao didn't play along, but instead furrowed her brows in confusion. She had been helping Fang Mo with industrial mods in the MC world for over a week and hadn't come back until now, only to find several strangers she didn't recognize.

Of course, you couldn't blame her.

After all, both the Mumen Rider and Sonic were now in casual clothes.

These guys weren't two-dimensional characters anymore, but real humans, and there were some differences from their anime images. Even Fang Mo sometimes couldn't recognize some inconspicuous characters at first glance; at least he needed to know their names to match them.

"Oh, this is Sonic, and the one next to him is the Mumen Rider."

Since the other party had also watched the anime, Fang Mo didn't go into detail, just briefly mentioned their names: "As for this one, I think I don't need to introduce him in detail, right?"

"...This guy is Boros, right?"

Xiao Yao glanced at Boros, whose features were quite distinctive, and she instantly reacted knowing that this was the One Punch Man replica.

"Hmm?"

Boros, hearing this, felt a bit surprised and even put down the scroll in his hand: "You know me? You seem to harbor a powerful energy inside you... can you fight too?"

"So what's going on now, has the timeline advanced to the Monster Association chapter?"

Xiao Yao ignored Boros and lazily rubbed her eyes again before looking up at Fang Mo: "By the way, why are you tricking everyone into coming to your house? You had this problem back in MC, it's okay with Boros and the Mumen, but why did you trick Sonic here too? The guy who's egg exploded in the original?"

"What did you say!?"

Sonic, already on edge, was immediately triggered by this comment: "You shorty! I want to duel you!"
