Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 640: [Sponsored]: Time Reversal

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

[System Prompt: New module feature detected. Research it to gain download access.]

"...Huh?"

After hearing the system prompt, Fang Mo was honestly a bit surprised.

He hadn't expected that the fight between Boros and Garou would unexpectedly unlock a module for him.

Though surprised, Fang Mo was determined to unlock this module. So, he quickly fiddled with the two of them, and soon triggered the module's unlock criteria.

[System Prompt: The 'Life Value' concept has been researched. You have obtained download access for a new module.]

[System Prompt: Health Bar module is starting to download.]

[System Prompt: Health Bar module download complete. Load it now?]

"...Health Bar module?"

Seeing this series of messages, Fang Mo was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected this particular module.

The Health Bar module, as the name suggests, adds a simple health bar for monsters and players, replacing the original red hearts. Of course, there are various versions of this module, some of which show the health bar, while others display armor values and monster attributes.

These features are not entirely useless, but they are not particularly significant either.

However, it's still a functional module. While it might not be very useful in the game, considering the strength of other functional modules, Fang Mo was somewhat expectant.

Fang Mo still couldn't understand.

Why did the fight between Garou and Boros unlock this Health Bar module?

One must admit, the system's logic is quite perplexing. Could it be because they were fighting and their health bars were revealed?

Regardless, Fang Mo silently opted to load it.

[System Prompt: Health Bar module successfully loaded.]

[System Prompt: Since you downloaded and ran a new module, you have obtained a lucky block. This lucky block will randomly draw an item from any known module.]

With the system prompt, a lucky block appeared out of nowhere in Steve's quick access bar.

As for Fang Mo, he felt as if some strange information had appeared in his mind.

Fang Mo closed his eyes to sense the information, feeling as if he had acquired an innate ability, as natural as breathing or eating. Soon, he focused his mind and activated this new ability.

A dim silver light flashed in his pupils.

In the next second, several health bars appeared before his eyes.

"Whoa..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo showed a somewhat surprised expression.

He was still in the sinkhole, surrounded by Xiao Yao, the Bang Brothers, Boros, Black Sperm, and the unconscious Garou, among others.

At this moment, above the heads of all these people—or rather, creatures—appeared a line of small white text recording each individual's name, next to which was a light green health bar displaying the relevant health values.

"What's wrong, Priest?" Hearing Fang Mo's exclamation, Bang, who was checking Garou's injuries, looked up at him in confusion.

However, Fang Mo did not respond. Instead, he observed on his own.

In Fang Mo's eyes, he saw that Bang's health bar had a value of forty, meaning Bang had approximately forty points of health, equivalent to twenty hearts.

As for Bomb, his value was much lower.

Fang Mo glanced at the old man and found he only had fifteen points of health.

"Whoa, old man, your kidneys seem a bit weak," Fang Mo couldn't help but joke to Bomb, "Take better care of your health."

"Huh? I'm weak?"

Hearing this inexplicable comment, Bomb was momentarily stunned.

However, after Fang Mo finished speaking, he didn't continue to ramble but instead curiously shifted his gaze to his partner. He found that her health was average, at twenty points, exactly like Steve's health in the game. Interestingly, her name wasn't her real name, nor was it Xiao Yao, but a Pinyin representation: "xiaoyao."

Shaking his head, Fang Mo turned to observe the other creatures present.

Since Pochi is a dragon-level monster, its health points were over five thousand, truly a tanky warrior. The Black Sperm, likely due to having only one cell left, had a laughably low health of 2 points, feeling like it could die from a single hit. Garou, being near death, had a total of over three hundred health points, but now, having been beaten to critical health by Boros, had only five points left, also in a one-punch-death state.

"This module is quite interesting..."

After briefly observing the health of those around him, Fang Mo nodded. It seemed the function of this health bar module was to let him see others' health bars in reality, or to display their health points in a data format visible to him.

How to put it...

This module might not be as invincible as the berserk eating module, but it was surprisingly useful. In gaming terms, as long as a health bar is visible, those crazy players would dare to challenge even gods. Fang Mo was now almost in that state. With this module, Fang Mo felt he could even take on some cosmic-level big shots. Winning was another matter, but just seeing the health bars made him inexplicably bolder. If he were to cross into the Dragon Ball world, Fang Mo figured he might even dare to kick Zeno to see the damage.

Fang Mo before: "Hello, looklookB, OK?"

Fang Mo now: "Hello, looklookDPS, Oh, yeah!"

In short, after briefly testing the module, Fang Mo was quite satisfied. Feeling pleased, he did something rarely seen from him, a proper deed, helping Bang bring Garou back up.

After waking up, Garou instinctively wanted to continue fighting. However, upon seeing the young Bang before him, he froze. Yes, he had left the sect early and was unaware of Bang's current situation. This brief hesitation caused his gathered momentum to dissipate quickly.

But Bang did not indulge him. He immediately engaged in combat. However, the current Garou, having been defeated by Boros, had reverted from his monster state and was mentally unstable, getting beaten badly by Bang.

Bang's fierce assault was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Garou finally crumbled, collapsing to the ground, first roaring with impotent rage, then falling into confusion.

It was clear that he now realized his path was wrong. There are always stronger people, and relying solely on strength solves nothing. Be it the S-class hero priest or the self-proclaimed cosmic monster Boros, their strength surpassed his.

The problem was, although Garou realized his path was wrong, he didn't know what to do next.

Just then, a scene of deep master-disciple affection unfolded. Bang, upon hearing Garou's confusion, immediately stated that all of this was his fault for not noticing his disciple's inner turmoil. Since Garou hated heroes, Bang decided to resign and focus on running the dojo.

Bang's resignation truly surprised Garou. After all, that was the S-class rank three position, coveted by many. Yet his teacher gave it up so easily?

Unlike Garou, Bang didn't care much about his hero title. Seeing Garou wavering, he added fuel to the fire, suggesting that Garou return as the chief disciple of the dojo, helping with chores as punishment and driving away troublemakers, as Bang was tired of constantly dealing with challengers. After all, he couldn't expect Charanko to fend them off, as one kick would knock him down.

"I see…"

Hearing his master's words, Garou seemed to realize his master's good intentions. Although he was a bit stubborn, he slowly lowered his head at this moment: "Well... I'll follow my master's arrangements then..."

In short, it was resolved quickly.

Garou admitted his mistake.

As Fang Mo had previously said, sometimes when kids act up, it's just like little N in the plantation wanting to strike. A good scolding and everything is back to normal.

"Brother Priest, thanks to your help again this time."

After persuading Garou, Bang quickly turned to Fang Mo, his face full of sincerity and gratitude: "I really don't know how to thank you. Please accept my deepest gratitude..."

At this point, Bang was about to offer a big gesture.

"Don't, don't." Fang Mo raised his hand immediately, and a gravitational field lifted Bang's body instantly: "We're all brothers here, no need for this formality."

"I just..."

"Alright, alright, I understand. You'd better go back quickly."

Fang Mo waved his hand hastily: "I still have a lot of work to do here. You should go back first. Garou's issue will definitely be pursued by the association, which will be your headache later."

"Alright then."

Bang, hearing this, didn't insist further. After thanking Fang Mo once more, he pulled the silent Garou and left the sinkhole.

After everyone left.

Fang Mo didn't stay there any longer either.

As he mentioned earlier, he still had a lot of mess to deal with, so he took this time to handle it a bit.

However, the so-called mess was mostly work he created for himself, like dealing with the mentally unstable Dr. Genus, the transaction with Metal Knight, and other miscellaneous things.

The first thing Fang Mo planned to handle was Dr. Genus and his subordinates.

He initially dealt with Dr. Genus just to play a bit with Dr. Ark's work, without much thought. However, recently Dr. Genus kept coming to his place for meals, and Fang Mo found himself almost getting used to his presence.

Considering the characteristics of Genus's House of Evolution and Module Paradise.

Fang Mo seriously thought about whether to take Genus and his subordinates back with him.

Of course, Fang Mo simply thought Genus was a good guy, worth getting along with, and who loved nibbling on cobblestones, with no ulterior motives for his subordinates! Like the mute abyss girl, the energetic angel, the white-haired beast-eared girl, or the natural nine-tailed fox loli... Fang Mo swore he had no interest!

Out of reluctance to part with his good buddy Genus.

Fang Mo mentioned this to Xiao Yao, hoping his little partner could give him some advice.

The little guy didn't think much of it.

He simply shrugged and suggested letting Genus decide for himself.

Fang Mo thought about it and agreed. He couldn't forcibly drag Genus into his world, could he?

So, after nodding, Fang Mo took Xiao Yao to Babel. However, since Ancient One was busy with disaster relief, they couldn't get help to open a back door, so they had to fumble their way, determine the general direction, and then fly there.

During the flight.

Fang Mo shared many of his thoughts with Xiao Yao.

It was his first time entering a dungeon with Xiao Yao. Though Xiao Yao was focused on grinding gear at first, Fang Mo noticed a change in his own mindset.

Take Child Emperor for example.

Previously, Fang Mo might have thought of gifting him a Soul Shard sword to make him a true little boy.

However, after deep communication, Fang Mo found he quite liked the kid.

It was because of Child Emperor that Fang Mo realized he wanted a child of his own. This surprised him, but he still mentioned it to Xiao Yao, indirectly asking for his opinion.

What Fang Mo didn't expect was.

After hearing his words, Xiao Yao suddenly turned to him: "Speaking of kids... what about that little Ender Dragon you raised before?"

"Why do you ask?"

Fang Mo asked curiously.

"Nothing, it just came to mind."

Xiao Yao turned away, admiring the surrounding scenery. Soon, another sentence drifted into Fang Mo's ears with the wind: "By the way, have you tried the Time Reversal Ritual from the Book of the Abyss?"
