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

"Um..."

After hearing what the host had to say, everyone was clearly stunned.

Yes, many of them were fans of the priest, and only after hearing that the priest would participate in the fighting competition did they try to buy tickets to support their idol.

But the host's remarks were too unscrupulous, and there were female fans at the scene who wanted to hit him.

In fact, not only the fans were stunned, but even Fang Mo himself was taken aback. He had only joked with Charanko and the others about this meme before, but now even the host knew about it. Although he didn't have an idol burden, wasn't this a bit too much?

"Ha ha ha!"

As Fang Mo thought, his partner really laughed uncontrollably in the audience, and didn't forget to shout to Fang Mo with his hands cupped around his mouth: "Brother Fly, keep it up!"

"Xiao Yao, you MF..."

Fang Mo, with a bit of a headache, touched his forehead: "Never mind, considering you understand recipes, I'll let you off this time."

Shaking his head.

Fang Mo refocused his attention on his opponent.

He now also remembered that the guy opposite seemed to be a bit-part actor who would later consume monster cells. Although a foot soldier, he was one of the stronger ones among them, apparently named Choze.

"I heard you're an S-class hero."

Seeing Fang Mo look at him, Choze also started speaking: "I also want to try and see where I stand compared to a so-called hero. Come on."

"Oh, come on."

Hearing Choze's words, Fang Mo casually nodded his head.

"Are you looking down on me?"

However, Choze probably sensed Fang Mo's perfunctory attitude, furrowed his brow, and the next second charged at Fang Mo.

But at the same time.

Fang Mo casually threw a punch forward.

Choze immediately tightened up seeing this. The punch was too fast, and even if he saw it, his body couldn't react in time, resulting in a solid punch that sent him spinning and flying out, smashing into the wall where the host was still stuck.

Yes, the host had not yet been removed by the staff.

When everyone looked up, they saw another contestant firmly embedded in the wall, really even cursing out loud.

"Hmm... No good?"

Seeing Choze embedded in the wall, a trace of disappointment flashed in Fang Mo's eyes.

This wasn't because he thought Choze was too weak and unexciting to fight against, but because he didn't hear any system prompt.

Simply put, his Iron Fist module did not gain any experience.

Yes, it seems that merely defeating fighters cannot trigger Iron Fist Steve's upgrade effect, so if this thing wants to upgrade, maybe it really needs to hammer a monster to death.

Of course, perhaps not just monsters.

Maybe even hammering an ordinary human to death would work.

But for now... Fang Mo was a bit skeptical that this thing's judging mechanism was similar to the Soul Eater of the Nihilite, which is the stronger the enemy creatures killed, the faster the upgrade speed.

Thinking about this, he could probably only wait for the hero to come over.

"Um, sorry."

Thinking this, Fang Mo also confirmed his next plan, smiled at Choze not far away, and slightly gestured with his thumb and index finger: "Looks like I am indeed a bit stronger than you..."

After saying this.

Fang Mo directly walked towards the stage below.

Of course, during the process of getting off the stage, he didn't forget to grab a handful of gold nuggets from his storage space and threw them around like throwing wedding candy.

Seeing Fang Mo starting to burst gold coins again.

The audience here really started to boil over.

Although these gold nuggets were not big, they were numerous in quantity, and the audience here instantly went crazy, with even many people jumping down from the audience seats to start scrambling.

And just in the midst of this chaotic competition venue, someone kicked the host several times.

When Fang Mo returned to his seat, it took a good while before the entire venue calmed down again, with many in the audience who grabbed the gold being overjoyed, while those who didn't managed to grab any were quietly waiting for the priest's next appearance, planning to grab more.

"I probably know why you're so popular."

And when Fang Mo sat down, Xiao Yao immediately started asking: "So, is this how the gold nuggets of the MC world are used?"

"Merely gold particles."

Fang Mo waved his hand carelessly: "A gold block is enough for me to throw for several years, not to mention I've built a zombie pigman tower in hell, I have plenty of gold... you didn't think about how much dowry I said I'd give you, did I lack gold?"

At this point, before Xiao Yao could react, he added: "Laughable... Do you understand the value of a Jiangxi person like me?"

"…Then I'll cancel the gold mine budget in my UU machine plans later."

Xiao Yao, hearing this, also had a dark expression: "The electricity there is still very tight, everything else is okay, but the molecular machine is really a big electricity consumer, more power equipment needs a lot of indium, not to mention the technological revival and GregTech 4's fusion reactor... So I'll just use the UU machine for uranium mining, you have no objections, right?"

"Can you speak in a way that I, a miner, can understand?"

Fang Mo rolled his eyes hearing this: "Just tell me directly… what do you need me to help you mine next time I go back?"

"Help me mine?"

Xiao Yao raised an eyebrow hearing this: "Materials for a large array of a few thousand units... with your bare hands, when are you going to dig until?"

"Then help me with a convergence enchantment next time." Fang Mo didn't care much: "Didn't you make me a Fortune X tool once? Just a few hits and it's several groups of diamonds, just right for the Abyssal Realm mod we also have."

"Okay, I'll fix it for you later."

Xiao Yao nodded: "But manual mining is always troublesome, next time you help me run some diagrams, get a few rock core drills, if we find a vein, I'll just set up an IE bucket wheel on the spot."

"Oh, okay."

Fang Mo nodded, and with his partner's reminder, he also remembered the bucket wheel from Immersive Engineering, which seems to be a kind of mining machine that can create ores out of thin air, and can dig hundreds to thousands of raw ores in one go, indeed very powerful.

"…So why hasn't the Monster Association invaded yet?"

As he said this, Xiao Yao seemed a bit bored, leaning on her chin and making a complaint.

But in fact, it was true. At this moment, the competition below was a bit-part against the original champion Suiryu, who looked quite decent, with bronze skin, a body of tendons, long flowing hair, and of course, a rather handsome face, belonging to the classic proud classical protagonist setting.

In fact, this guy's strength was also quite impressive, after all, he was the champion of the original fighting tournament, even defeating Saitama... uh, mainly because the wig flew off.

But one thing that annoyed Fang Mo was that this guy was incredibly showy.

Even the round girl holding the sign next to him wanted to harass a bit, to be honest, this was quite annoying, especially since his skin color was rather dark, this made Fang Mo even more concerned.

(TL: scrap all the bad traits, just because he's black! Though he's brown, right?)

"How can I trick this guy into planting sugarcane..."

Staring at the Suiryu below, Fang Mo also thoughtfully murmured a sentence.

"What did you just say? What oil cane?"

Xiao Yao didn't hear Fang Mo's words clearly, and now turned back and asked: "Oil sugarcane? I remember IC2's sugarcane only has rubber sugarcane, oil seems to be GT's hybrid item... and that's oil berries, not oil sugarcane."

"Cough, nothing..."

Fang Mo coughed upon hearing this: "I was just recalling some details of the anime, I suddenly forgot when exactly the hero comes to invade."

In this regard, Fang Mo didn't lie, after all, he had been watching the One Punch Man anime for a long time, and it was normal to forget some details, but just as he was saying this, the phone in his arms unexpectedly rang.

"Huh?"

Hearing this sudden ringing, Fang Mo was also a bit surprised, opened it to see and found it was a contact message from the Hero Association.

After thinking for a moment.

Fang Mo also directly answered the call.

"Mr. Priest, there's been a big incident." As soon as the phone connected, a somewhat familiar voice came through, not the association's liaison, but rather, Fang Mo after a bit of analysis thought it sounded more like a high-ranking official he had encountered in Z City before.

"You are..."

Fang Mo furrowed his brow in recollection, but soon gave up on that thought: "Never mind, what's going on?"

"The son of a sponsor and high-ranking member of the Hero Association has been kidnapped by monsters, and the association is currently holding a rescue meeting. Mr. Priest, would you have time to attend this meeting?"

The other side spoke with a bit of urgency, but halfway through, his tone suddenly paused: "Uh... or if you don't want to come, you could also make a trip to Z City, I have a personal favor to ask."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo also reacted to what was going on.

Yes, the Monster Association was finally taking action, this was one of the original plots, it seemed that the Monster Association side had kidnapped a high official's son and then threatened them.

Also precisely because of this unlucky child, the Hero Association would operate at full speed to try to resolve this monster crisis, of course, the S-class heroes were not because the hostage was a high official's child... in fact, even if the hostage was just an ordinary person they would still go to the rescue, after all, they are heroes.

And this also indirectly reflects the corruption of the upper echelons of the Hero Association, you should know these high officials are not heroes, they are just a bunch of fat-brained politicians, only anxious when it comes to their own interests.

"That's right, Mr. Priest."

Perhaps hearing that Fang Mo hadn't responded much, the association's high official once again started speaking: "This situation is really extraordinary, those who claim to be kidnappers are from an organization, apparently called the Monster Association, this is a very serious matter, these monsters have actually formed an organization and started to act, the whole society might be destabilized, Mr. Priest you..."

As he said this, the association's high official paused for a moment, then as if biting the bullet continued: "Mr. Priest, could you please come back to Z City? Please!"

"That's it."

Fang Mo thought for a moment, and guessed the general intention of the other party.

It was clear this association high official was scared, these monsters today could hold a child hostage, tomorrow they could kill them, so the other side wanted him to stay in Z City.

Other people might not know, but these association high officials certainly know how powerful he is, so they wanted to ask him to be their personal bodyguard or something, ostensibly saying to stay in Z City... probably just a grand excuse.

But Fang Mo of course wouldn't agree.

Joking, it was already nice of him to pay their salaries, he would still go back to be a bodyguard, even Saitama couldn't do this.

Thinking this, Fang Mo directly refused the other's request.

"Sorry, can't do."

Without a second thought, Fang Mo said: "I'm currently tracking other monsters' traces, the Monster Association you mentioned, I've already got a lead on, I'm investigating their cadre's whereabouts, so I can't come back."

"What... what?"

The high official on the phone was clearly a bit shocked.

But before he could continue saying anything, Fang Mo interrupted him.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up." Fang Mo said: "If you're really afraid of dying, just write your name on the wall and then shoot yourself in the mouth, wait for this storm to pass and I'll resurrect you one by one... got it?"

"Um..."

Before the other side could say anything else, Fang Mo directly pressed the hang up button.

"Alright, it's done."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Mo also directly said to Xiao Yao next to him: "Currently, the association's high-level kid has been captured, the plot here is probably about to start."

"Is that so?"

Xiao Yao also nodded upon hearing this: "It's actually quite fast... I thought the Monster Association's plot progression would be very slow."

"Yeah, I thought it should be quite slow."

Fang Mo also agreed: "I chased the series for several months back then, didn't expect that kid to be captured today, I remember after the kid was captured, it only took two or three days for the Monster Association to send..."

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

The entire fighting arena suddenly shook violently without warning.

Followed by a deafening explosion, the outer wall of the fighting arena nearby collapsed down, a figure as tall as a building slowly walked in from outside.

And at the same time, an unpleasant screeching sound suddenly came from mid-air.

Along with this monster-like giant walking into the arena, a large number of giant crows with human arms also descended from the sky, sealing off all the entrances and exits.

"Oh, here they come."

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo also directly said.
