Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 566: [Sponsored]: Large Sea Creatures Appearing

[This Chapter Is Sponsored by T! Everyone, please thank him in the comment!]

Seeing the gold nugget in Fang Mo's hand, everyone's faces revealed expressions of astonishment.

"Alright, let's settle it like this."

Fang Mo, hearing this, also nodded in satisfaction: "When I get back, I'll change my hero name to 'The Priest', understand?"

"I understand."

The lead staff member quickly responded.

"Good."

Seeing that his hero name was finally decided, Fang Mo nodded again and then asked, "What is the third matter?"

"This..."

Hearing this, the staff hesitated a bit.

However, it wasn't long before the middle-aged man leading them spoke up: "Actually, Mr. Priest, just a few days ago, Lady Tatsumaki defeated a dragon-level monster in F City."

"What? She defeated a dragon-level monster?"

Fang Mo was a bit puzzled: "What does her defeating a dragon-level monster have to do with me? I didn't unleash that monster, why are you bringing this to me?"

"Um..." The staff member stiffened slightly but then bravely explained: "Well, Mr. Priest, the defeated monster claimed to know you and even said it was you who transformed it."

"Nonsense, how could I, Fang Mo someone, consort with monsters, considering my life of integrity and honor..."

"He said his name is Sonic."

Before Fang Mo could finish, the staff member spoke up: "It's a blue hedgehog, incredibly fast, almost unimaginably so."

"Damn, my disciple!"

Fang Mo exclaimed in surprise.

"So, you really do know him?" The staff member sighed helplessly.

"This is really my rebellious disciple..."

Fang Mo couldn't help but facepalm: "In terms of seniority, he could rank just behind the Sorcerer Supreme, but he was too obsessed with ninjutsu and didn't want to learn magic from me, so I punished him a bit. Unexpectedly, he ran away from home."

And with that.

Fang Mo became curious: "By the way, why was he captured? Did he attack humans or destroy cities or something?"

"He didn't attack any humans."

The staff member shook their head and then explained: "But he has been using his speed to steal food from the same supermarket... until he was finally caught."

"Just that?"

Fang Mo was a bit stunned: "Is that what a dragon-level monster should be doing? He didn't destroy a city or claim he wanted to rule the world?"

"Uh... no."

The association staff quickly shook their heads.

"F*ck, truly embarrassing for me as his teacher. I thought that blasting a mountain was already a disgrace for a dragon-level, but the creature I taught turned out to be the true disgrace."

"Mr. Fang Mo..."

The staff member didn't quite know what else to say: "You should be a hero, right?"

"Sorry, I got carried away."

Fang Mo first apologized and then somewhat angrily spread his hands: "It's really infuriating. I'm so powerful, yet my disciple is such a failure. Anyone would be upset, right? But you're right, I am a hero after all, so let it be..."

"Back to the point."

Fang Mo then asked again: "You said Sonic was caught by Tatsumaki, he must be fast, so what really happened? How did their conflict arise?"

"The reason is this."

The staff member explained: "Since the supermarket was often missing items, the owner reported the issue to the Hero Association, suspecting a thief was at work."

"The one who went to investigate was the Smell Master, ranked thirty-nine in B class. The supermarket owner collaborated with the Smell Master to set a trap, placing an enhanced fragrance drug in the food, and then caught a hedgehog monster wrapped in a bedsheet."

"However, their strengths were too weak, so when the monster saw the theft foiled, it simply attacked, using potato chips as shurikens to knock down everyone present, and quickly fled while mocking everyone. But he unexpectedly ran into Lady Tatsumaki at the door who was buying safety pants and paying at the checkout..."

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Mo felt a twitch in the corner of his eye.

"What followed, we're not clear on, but it seems there was some conflict, and Lady Tatsumaki got angry..."

"Hold on a second."

Fang Mo interrupted: "You said Sonic is very fast, he didn't run away, but instead fought with Tatsumaki?"

"You're right, that guy Sonic is indeed very fast."

The staff member responded: "According to Lady Tatsumaki, his speed even surpassed that of Flashy Flash, rank thirteen of S class. If he had really wanted to escape, even Lady Tatsumaki would have found it very difficult to catch him."

"So how did he..."

"Because while he was escaping, he accidentally stepped on a pile of dog poop..."

The staff member said this with a somewhat strange expression, as it was quite theatrical for a dragon-level monster to experience such an incident.

"This unlucky kid..."

Fang Mo heard this and felt a bit miserable.

You should know that Tatsumaki has been agitated by him recently, and emotionally she's quite uncontrollable. Considering she even went to buy safety pants, Sonic's fate in her hands was likely quite grim.

Fang Mo could imagine the scene.

After all, once Tatsumaki goes berserk, unless she's suppressed by absolute power, there's really no dealing with her.

"So, where is Sonic now?"

"That monster is in Z City."

The staff member immediately replied: "Since he's a live dragon-level monster, he's very valuable. Metal Knight has applied to the association to keep him at the Z City branch; there seems to be a lab he just finished building there."

"Metal Knight, huh."

Fang Mo nodded, realizing that he really needed to make a deal with him this time.

"Do you need us to contact Metal Knight for you?"

The staff member asked.

"Oh, no need." Fang Mo waved his hand: "I'll find him myself later. Sonic doesn't mean much to him; I can probably trade him for some vibrainium."

"That's it."

The staff member nodded: "Then, if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave..."

However, before the other party could finish speaking, they suddenly paused, and Fang Mo curiously looked up to see several people behind them staring at him, apparently communicating something with their eyes.

And seeing the longing in these people's eyes.

Fang Mo immediately understood.

"What?" Fang Mo asked with a compassionate face: "Do you also want to play... to receive the blessing of the Original God?"

"Can we?"

A few people immediately looked hopeful.

"Of course, no problem." Fang Mo laughed heartily: "I can believe in the Original God, and so can you. Come on, line up, and I'll bless you right now."

"Thank you, Priest!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately showed a look of joy.

"Those who are enlightened are always happy."

Fang Mo smiled upon seeing this and then raised his hand, and the soft white light of the Beacon of Faith instantly enveloped the people in front of him.

And as the light shrouded them, the people at the scene also showed expressions of enjoyment at the same time, with two of them even unable to help but throw their heads back, followed by a few contented moans... But seeing this scene, Fang Mo couldn't help but feel a bit strained.

So he secretly made up his mind.

In the future, when performing miracles, he absolutely had to find a group of cute girls.

After treating the staff, they left satisfied, holding the gold nuggets and still muttering something about the Original God.

From this point of view.

Fang Mo's evangelism was quite successful.

And after the people left, Fang Mo quickly returned to the villa and plopped down on the sofa, casually pulling out a tuft of Shoggoth and started watching TV while petting it.

Ah Xue was quick at cooking.

In just a blink of an eye, the kitchen was already emitting a tempting aroma.

It wasn't long before Ah Xue came out with the first dish, seeing Fang Mo sitting on the sofa and casually asked: "Master, what did those people want with you just now?"

"Oh, nothing much, mainly changing a hero name and stuff."

Fang Mo waved his hand and said: "Also, my disciple is in Metal Knight's hands, I was just thinking about how to chat with him, maybe I'll just call him to see if he wants to come over for dinner or something..."

"That would be nice."

Ah Xue nodded obediently: "If you need more food prepared, just let me know anytime."

"Yeah, got it."

Fang Mo nodded, then took out his phone.

As Ah Xue went back into the kitchen, Fang Mo also dialed the contact number.

Actually, everyone had collaborated earlier to deal with a meteor, and Metal Knight had already left his contact information with Fang Mo, of course, for the purpose of trading gold later, since he didn't know about Sonic at the time.

All in all.

Once the call connected.

It wasn't long before the other side picked up.

"Hello? Who is this?"

On the other end of the phone, Metal Knight's distinct voice rang out, only this time it sounded more human-like, without that electronic tone.

"May God fool you, Bofool."

Fang Mo directly spoke.

"…I've told you, my name isn't Bofool, can't you just call me by my hero name?" Metal Knight, hearing this voice, immediately knew it was Fang Mo: "So what do you want with me? To make a deal?"

"Yeah, we could talk business."

Fang Mo first responded, then asked again: "By the way, do you want to come over to my place for a meal, we could sit down and talk slowly?"

"Eating is better skipped."

Metal Knight directly refused: "After all, sometimes you can make a person lose their appetite."

"Hey, that was all a misunderstanding."

Fang Mo heard this and immediately laughed brightly: "I used to be a doctor, so I'm used to inadvertently acting like a booster drug... But don't worry, I've changed my hero name now, so that won't happen again."

"You changed your hero name?"

Metal Knight asked curiously: "What did you change it to?"

"The Priest." Fang Mo smiled and said: "How about that, as the former patron of Child Emperor... oh not that, I mean former employer, does this name give you a special warm feeling?"

"…"

Metal Knight fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long time, his pained voice rang out again: "Alright, I don't care what you want to be called, since you called, you want to make a deal with me, right?"

"Since that's the case, let's just talk about the deal then."

Metal Knight reiterated: "You have to understand, I'm a scientist and usually very busy, not to mention I also hate meaningless interactions."

"That's fine."

Fang Mo shrugged, it seemed he really wasn't quite compatible with the other party, this guy wouldn't take any bait: "Since that's the case, let's just talk about the business then... Say, do you have a guy named Sonic in your hands?"

"Sonic?"

Metal Knight sounded a bit puzzled: "What are you referring to?"

"A blue hedgehog monster." Fang Mo said: "He was previously stealing in F City and was caught by Tatsumaki, I heard you intercepted him, right?"

"Oh, that's true."

Hearing this, Metal Knight also remembered: "That's a dragon-level monster, I was planning to use the spines on his back to develop some new weapons, so, you're interested in him too?"

"That's my disciple."

Fang Mo stated.

"What?" Metal Knight was also a bit surprised: "You mean... your disciple is a monster?"

"It's a long story."

Fang Mo sighed: "Anyway, it's my fault, this guy got mad at me, then I used magic to turn him into a monster, and he ran away from home in a huff."

"So you want to take him back?"

Metal Knight, not being foolish, instantly understood Fang Mo's intent: "But you should know, it took me a lot of effort to get him, after all, that's a dragon-level monster, and besides me, there are many organizations coveting him..."

"Ten gold bars."

Fang Mo calmly offered a price.

"…Deal."

Metal Knight almost immediately changed his tune: "When can we make the trade?"

"Let me finish dinner first."

Fang Mo casually glanced towards the kitchen, where Ah Xue's figure was still busy; compared to his little maid's hard work, it seemed right to let Sonic, this wayward disciple, suffer a bit more.

"Oh, then I'll wait for your message."

Metal Knight responded, then hung up the phone.

However, just as Fang Mo put the phone down and was about to get up to sneak some food from the kitchen, the phone in his hand rang again.

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo frowned subconsciously, then patted Shoggoth lying in his lap: "Go, sneak some food from the kitchen for me."

"Chirp!"

Once Shoggoth jumped off the ground, Fang Mo then answered the call.

However, to his surprise, the voice that came through the phone was not the previous Metal Knight, but rather a somewhat pleasant-sounding female operator, though her tone seemed a bit anxious.

"Mr. Priest, a large number of sea creatures have suddenly appeared in J City, please go to support."
