Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 532: Cyberware Mod

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's explanation, Genos was momentarily stunned.

However, he quickly seemed to come to his senses and looked up, saying, "Wait, didn't Saitama-sensei just go naked because of the flames you released?"

"I was just using fire to kill mosquitoes."

Fang Mo spread his hands and replied, "Which eye of yours saw me burning him?"

"I didn't actually see that..."

Genos first shook his head, but then added, "But I think I just heard someone shouting about pants, and that voice must have been Saitama-sensei's."

"Oh, now that you mention it, it does seem like it..."

Hearing Genos say this, Fang Mo seemed to realize something too, and touched his chin, saying, "Thanks for reminding me. Otherwise, I would have thought I was hallucinating, thinking that it was Dasima's silk blood counter-killing that scared me into wanting to change my pants..."

"...In any case, Saitama-sensei did not go naked intentionally."

Genos, not understanding what Fang Mo was talking about, fell silent for a moment before defending Saitama directly.

"So you're determined to take him as your master, then?"

Hearing Genos defend Saitama like this, Fang Mo felt a bit of a headache. Logically speaking, this guy really was a suitable target for his sarcastic comments, much like the earlier Hayakawa Aki. Not only did he carry a deep vengeance, but he was also good at cooking.

Of course, the main thing was his young man, like a blank slate with high moldability, and his mechanical body also allowed Fang Mo to play around a lot.

But actually, the character of Genos had a lot of presence even in the original One Punch Man.

After all, he was jokingly called a 'female lead'.

Despite One Punch Man being split into two versions online, the ONE original and Murata Yusuke's reboot later on, their plots are not much different.

The story of One Punch Man takes place in a fictional world with a Japanese backdrop.

This aspect is somewhat similar to the world of Chainsaw Man. Moreover, numerous beings called "monsters" exist here, some man-made, and some naturally occurring. All in all, these monsters and the devils in Chainsaw Man are very similar, both harboring inexplicable malice towards humans.

Genos's family was wiped out by a robot when he was young, and to seek revenge, he was turned into a cyborg by a doctor and thus started hunting his enemy while defeating monsters along the way.

Later, after witnessing Mosquito Girl being instantly killed by Saitama, and realizing his strength.

To seek revenge, he became fixated on becoming Saitama's disciple, which he eventually did.

As for the so-called Saitama...

He is, of course, the protagonist of this manga.

Regarding his strength... Fang Mo had also seen many explanations online, like breaking his limiter or some other school of thought, or harboring a god inside his body, but it all boils down to the author giving him cheats.

He represents the ultimate in combat strength.

No matter what kind of enemy, he rushes forward and defeats them with one punch.

Looking at the entire plotline of the manga, it primarily revolves around "Saitama's hero activities," from being unknown at the beginning to later joining the Hero Association and gradually gaining some friends, and his strength becoming recognized by many.

During this time, Genos always accompanied him as his disciple.

So saying he's the 'female lead' seems quite fitting.

Of course, some say Fubuki is the female lead, but that's actually a story from another version, the so-called third version of One Punch Man by ...

But the plot of that version...

It's really not convenient to go into detail on this site.

As Fang Mo was recalling the details of that version of One Punch Man, Genos spoke up, looking somewhat apologetic: "I'm sorry to refuse your kindness, but I still want to be Saitama's disciple, it's very important to me."

"Oh, that's fine too."

Hearing Genos insist, Fang Mo shrugged, seemingly agreeing with him.

Although his own personality was indeed somewhat unpleasant, finding someone to tease had to be mutually agreeable; you couldn't just grab someone and start torturing them, right?

Thinking of this.

Fang Mo also started planning his next moves.

Although he hadn't managed to deceive Genos, he definitely still needed to go see Saitama.

After all, he had been itching to try for too long. How could anyone capable of traversing the heavens come to the One Punch Man world and not challenge Saitama? That would be too lazy.

"You just lie down here for now."

Thinking this, Fang Mo then said to Genos, "I'm going to find Saitama to play."

"Are you going to find the teacher?"

Hearing this, Genos suddenly looked up excitedly: "Great, I want to go find Saitama-sensei too."

"No... brother, you're almost falling apart, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Mo also glanced at the other person. Genos had indeed been beaten badly by Mosquito Girl before, his legs, left arm, and body shattered into a heap of parts, constantly leaking a black liquid resembling motor oil. Now, he could hardly walk, let alone crawl as quickly as sloths.

"No problem, I am a cyborg,"

Upon hearing Fang Mo's words, Genos immediately responded, "Just replace the parts, and I'll be back to normal right away."

"How do we replace the parts?"

Fang Mo first looked at Genos on the ground, then looked around and said, "There isn't an auto repair shop nearby."

""

Genos paused for a moment after listening, then spoke, "I have spare parts myself."

"Where?" Fang Mo asked curiously.

"In a temporary warehouse nearby, prepared by the doctor," Genos replied earnestly, still young and straightforward. "Please, could you take me there? It's just five kilometers away."

"Oh, alright then."

Fang Mo shrugged his shoulders, as it was still early in the plot and he was idle anyway: "I'll take you there, and you guide the way."

After speaking, Fang Mo walked over and picked up Genos from the ground.

"Thank you very much."

Genos was touched and thanked him directly.

What Fang Mo did not expect was that the moment his hand touched Genos's body, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.

[System Notification: New module trait detected, research to gain download permissions.]

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo was startled by the prompt.

"What's wrong?"

Genos noticed the change in Fang Mo's expression and asked with some confusion.

"Oh, nothing"

Fang Mo shook his head, deciding it was not necessary to share this with Genos, as carrying him would soon complete the system's research. So, he casually remarked, "Your body feels as solid as steel, pretty healthy. How about I just call you 'Brother Steel' from now on?"

"I am a cyborg, my body is made of metal, it does indeed feel as solid as steel," Genos replied seriously, not grasping Fang Mo's implied humor. Then he pointed in a direction: "The warehouse is over there."

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that Genos did not catch on, Fang Mo no longer bothered with the joke and directly walked in the direction indicated.

Of course, he continued to study Genos along the way.

But this "study" was more about simply staring blankly at him.

When they finally arrived at the warehouse, another system prompt sounded in Fang Mo's mind.

[System Notification: Concepts of 'cyborg', 'human mechanization surgery', and 'energy-driven body parts' researched. You have gained a new module download permission.]

[System Notification: Cyberware module begins downloading.]

[System Notification: Cyberware module download completed, load now?]

"Cyberware?"

Hearing this System Notification, Fang Mo was slightly startled.

This was a module that Fang Mo had rarely engaged with, but having frequented Minecraft encyclopedias and discussed mods frequently with friends, he was somewhat familiar with it.

Cyberware module...

From what Genos unlocked, it was clear what this module entailed.

Obviously, it was a module for transforming Steve, and if Fang Mo remembered correctly, there seemed to be an operation table involved in this module.

Players just need to lie on it to start the surgery.

This operation table could even remove organs like eyes, brains, lungs, hearts, or limbs.

Most amazingly, after the respective organs were removed.

The players would undergo corresponding changes.

For instance, removing the eyes will lead to permanent blindness; this is not just a BUFF effect and cannot be reversed by drinking milk. After all, in the real world, you cannot restore sight by drinking milk after eyes are gouged outquite a realistic feature.

Moreover, it is possible to remove vital organs like the brain and heart, the consequence of which would be instant death on the operating table.

If both hands are removed, interaction with objects becomes impossible.

This means not only can one not destroy blocks, attack monsters, open chests, or use workbenches, but even using items is unfeasible.

Of course, legs can also be removed. If one leg is cut off, walking becomes impossible, though one can hop around using the spacebar... but if both legs are removed, crawling is the only option, and even the point of view becomes lower, allowing crawling into a 1.5-block high space.

After hearing this, Fang Mo could only sigh at how realistic this mod was made.

He even once doubted if this mod was developed in Northern Myanmar.

Of course, since it's a Cyberware mod, it's not just about cutting off parts but also about installing mechanical prosthetics, which provide players with additional attributes.

So, the normal procedure would be to remove one's organs and choose a mechanical replacement.

Flesh is weak; machinery ascends!

However, it should be noted that the mechanical parts here are powered by RF energy.

This means if you want to engage in Cyberwares, you must install a mod like Thermal Expansion.

If you set up an Industrial Age, although it also involves a technology mod, that system uses the EU power system, which cannot power mechanical parts.

Imagine replacing an eyeball but not being able to charge it...

That would be quite funny.

"Lucky I've unlocked many mods."

Recalling the mods he had unlocked, Fang Mo took a deep breath of relief that there were indeed several mods available on his side to provide RF energy, otherwise, this mod would likely be unplayable.

Thinking this, Fang Mo silently confirmed his thought.

[System Notification: Cyberware Mod Loaded Successfully.]

[System Notification: Since you have downloaded and run a new mod, you have earned a Lucky Block, which will randomly draw an item from the known mods.]

As the system notification sounded, Steve's inventory displayed another Lucky Block.

"Awesome, another Lucky Block."

Seeing this Lucky Block, Fang Mo couldn't help but smile; counting the one in front of him, he had now saved up a total of eleven Lucky Blocks.

If he were to open them in Asgard, wouldn't he just soar into the heavens?

However, just as he thought of the word "Asgard," Fang Mo seemed to suddenly remember something crucial, his smile freezing instantly. His expression then started to change continuously, transitioning from joy to sorrow, until he finally couldn't help but wipe his face fiercely.

"Damn, how could I forget about the lottery!?"

Fang Mo suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Yes, because he had stayed too long in the Marvel world and was in a hurry to return to the MC world with his partner, he left too hastily and forgot about the lottery.

This could pose a problem.

He certainly couldn't justify a return trip to the Marvel world just for that, could he?

Logically, Fang Mo had already set the mood so perfectly before leaving, and going back just to participate in a draw would definitely ruin the atmosphere.

"Damn, this is troublesome."

Thinking this, Fang Mo rubbed his temples in pain. "Could it be that I need to find another mod heaven here? Hmm... let me think, which of these heroes has better luck, KING? Maybe I should try his place? I remember he's pretty good at playing games, maybe he could..."

"Excuse me for a moment."

As Fang Mo was thinking, Genos's voice suddenly came from beside him.

Fang Mo looked up and saw that the injuries on the other's body had healed, and he spoke seriously, "Thanks to you, I've replaced the damaged parts. Now, let's go find Saitama-sensei together."

"Alright then."

Hearing this, Fang Mo nodded.

Although the lottery was indeed important, they were still at the beginning of the One Punch Man storyline, and there were plenty of opportunities for antics, so the lottery could wait a bit longer.

With this realization, Fang Mo temporarily set aside the messy thoughts in his mind and started looking for Saitama's apartment with Genos.

In a city, finding someone can be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, Saitama had left some traces while chasing a mosquito, which provided Genos with clues.

Half an hour later, the two successfully arrived at the apartment building.
