Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 620: Drunk Xiao Yao

"Ah, you are too polite."

Due to TankTop Master's enthusiasm, Fang Mo accepted the gift, thanking him while opening it. "It was just a resurrection, nothing significant..."

He had only spoken halfway when a TankTop fell out of the gift box.

"..."

Fang Mo stared at the pure black TankTop on the ground, lost in deep thought.

The TankTop was indeed finely made, with delicate black fabric and gold thread intricately stitched along the edges. It even had a gold embroidered circle on the chest, clearly showing the care taken by the maker.

But the question was...

Why a TankTop?

Fang Mo glanced at the TankTop on the ground, then at TankTop Master standing proudly as if awaiting praise, and was at a loss for words.

After some thought, Fang Mo reluctantly said, "As expected of TankTop Master... It's a great gift, and I accept it gratefully."

"Of course."

TankTop Master was visibly pleased and nodded repeatedly. "Priest, you saved my life. I put a lot of effort into making this TankTop. It's a super TankTop with 1000% elasticity... I haven't even worn such a high-end TankTop myself."

"In any case, thank you very much."

Fang Mo nodded, trying to quickly move past this. "By the way, dinner is almost ready. Shall we go eat?"

"No hurry."

TankTop Master shook his head expectantly. "Before dinner... won't you try on the TankTop?"

"..."

Hearing this, Fang Mo was speechless.

"What's wrong?" TankTop Master asked curiously.

"Isn't it too tight?"

Fang Mo glanced at the TankTop on the ground. It looked small, more like a woman's sports bra. He hesitated, "This... I might not fit into it."

"It's a super tight fit."

TankTop Master smiled confidently. "Don't worry, I custom-made it to your measurements. I guarantee it will be very comfortable."

"...Alright."

Considering TankTop Master's persistence, Fang Mo decided to try it on, thinking he wouldn't leave otherwise. Plus, the gift was given with good intentions.

With a thought, Fang Mo's upper clothing disappeared instantly using his custom Steve ability.

TankTop Master was stunned, not understanding how the clothes disappeared. But Fang Mo ignored him and pulled the TankTop over his head.

To Fang Mo's surprise, the TankTop was quite comfortable. Its tight fit accentuated his physique, making his muscles look more defined. His style changed instantly.

"Indeed, Priest."

TankTop Master nodded appreciatively. "This is the battle attire you should wear. The TankTop suits you perfectly."

"I..."

Fang Mo opened his mouth to say something but didn't know what to comment on. He looked at the golden circle on his chest, "By the way... What does this golden circle mean?"

"Oh, it's your symbol."

TankTop Master explained, "Aren't you the priest of the Circle God Church? I originally planned to embroider a cross... but someone reminded me that your faith isn't Christianity, but Circle God Church."

"It's not Circle God, it's Original God!"

Fang Mo couldn't hold back, covering his forehead. "Bro, get it right. If I give you ten thousand Genesis Crystals, you'd thank me... but if I give you ten thousand Circle Stones, you'd hit me!"

"...Huh?"

TankTop Master was also confused. "It's not Circle God?"

"I'm afraid Xiao Yao will come after me."

"Then... I'm very sorry." TankTop Master quickly apologized, "Let me take it back and correct it. I'm sorry for disrespecting your faith."

"Forget it, it's fine."

Fang Mo waved his hand. "We Original God players are very generous. Mock us all you want, if I get upset, I'll admit defeat."

"That's not acceptable..."

TankTop Master was about to say something, but the door was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Yao poked her head in. "Hey, Fang Mo, dinner is ready... huh? Why are you wearing a TankTop?"

"Gift from TankTop Master."

Fang Mo showed it. "How does it look?"

"It's fine..." Xiao Yao glanced at Fang Mo, then focused on the circular emblem on his chest. "But what does this circle mean?"

"Oh, this."

Fang Mo patted TankTop Master's shoulder. "He said it's a symbol of faith."

"Faith?"

Xiao Yao tilted her head. "What faith?"

"Jesus was nailed to the cross, with two circular holes on his hands..."

"Pfft..."

Xiao Yao couldn't help but laugh but quickly composed herself. "Alright, stop fooling around. Dinner is ready, let's eat."

"Okay."

Fang Mo nodded.

So, after the interruption, the matter was settled.

Soon, Fang Mo dragged the apologetic TankTop Master out for dinner. Due to the previous incident with Pig God, TankTop Master originally planned to leave after giving the gift, but now felt too embarrassed to leave.

In the villa courtyard.

Ah Xue had set up a barbecue.

It was a large round table with a grill in the center, surrounded by various side dishes and ingredients, including meat, vegetables, seafood, mushrooms, and sauces, looking exceptionally sumptuous.

The dinner began quickly.

With Fang Mo at the head, along with Xiao Yao, Ah Xue, Ancient One, and Genus with his team, plus Pig God and TankTop Master from the Hero Association, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

However, at another table not far away.

With Saitama as the head, the atmosphere was tense.

Saitama, Fubuki, King, Genos, Bang, and Bomb were all intently watching the hot pot, ready with their chopsticks.

A palpable tension seemed to emanate from the table.

"Okay! It's cooked!"

A voice suddenly shouted, and everyone reached out simultaneously. King was shoved aside and knocked out.

"Wait a minute!"

Saitama yelled, "The broth just started boiling, what are you rushing for?"

"Huh?"

Bomb was also puzzled. "Who said it's cooked?"

"The other table!"

Saitama, with a dark face, shouted.

"What?"

Everyone looked over, realizing Fang Mo had just taken two pieces of juicy barbecue off the grill, one into Ah Xue's bowl and the other to Xiao Yao, then glanced over at them.

"Old eyes, missed it."

Bomb muttered, throwing the tofu back into the pot.

"Don't throw it back in!"

With Saitama's frustrated voice, the dinner officially began.

In the small villa courtyard, Saitama's hot pot group was on the left, and Fang Mo's barbecue group was on the right. The atmosphere was harmonious, with the aroma wafting through the Z City no man's land, bringing a sense of life.

Since it was a farewell dinner, Fang Mo extended the time.

To liven things up, he even brought out some drinks.

As is known, once alcohol is involved, time flies, and they ended up eating until late at night.

With the help of alcohol, everyone became more relaxed. TankTop Master, who was originally more reserved, became quite boisterous, calling Fang Mo his brother.

Fang Mo, though not drunk, felt the atmosphere was right and performed a trick—enchanting TankTop Master's TankTop on the spot.

The TankTop turned out to be of excellent material, allowing Fang Mo to enchant it with Unbreaking III, Strength V, and Protection IV.

TankTop Master felt immensely powerful wearing the enchanted TankTop, claiming he could single-handedly defeat Garou.

Bang looked displeased but said nothing, merely sighing.

However, a peculiar incident occurred.

While Fang Mo couldn't get drunk, his small partner did.

"What?"

Fang Mo was surprised. "She got drunk?"

"Yes, Master."

Ah Xue replied, patting Xiao Yao's shoulder, asking softly, "Should I take her to rest?"

"Wait."

Fang Mo stopped her, looking at his partner.

Xiao Yao was lying on the table, her face slightly flushed, appearing drunk. Fang Mo found it hard to believe, as a digital being getting drunk was absurd.

He poked her.

"Get up, stop pretending," Fang Mo said. "If you keep pretending, I'll dig out your machinery with a pickaxe."

"Who dares dig out my machinery!?"

To Fang Mo's surprise, she suddenly sat up, her eyes still hazy. "Little brat... Do you believe I'll blow up your house?"

"She's really drunk?"

Fang Mo examined her face, uncertain. She seemed genuinely drunk.

"Little brat... little brat..."

Her head lowered slightly, then she shouted like a pangolin, "I'll blow you up!"

As she said this, Alex appeared behind her, her items switching until a TNT block appeared, placed on the ground.

In Fang Mo's view, the white light flashed, and it turned into a large missile head.

"Damn, Little Boy!"

Fang Mo exclaimed, quickly stopping time and throwing the missile into his dimension.

After disposing of the missile, Fang Mo realized she was truly drunk.

It likely had to do with subconsciousness. Just as he had been affected by Xue's freezing, digital beings shouldn't catch colds.

Maybe she believed she had a low tolerance and thus got drunk?

But for now, the priority was to deal with her. Another outburst could result in catastrophic consequences.

Sighing, Fang Mo pulled out a brick.

"Forgive me, Xiao Yao, this is the last time..." In the frozen time, he muttered and hit her on the back of the head with the brick, causing her to collapse onto the table.

"Phew, settled."

Relieved, Fang Mo dealt with his drunken companion.

Since it happened in an instant, no one noticed. They looked at each other, confused.

"Did something happen?"

Holding a sake bottle, Fubuki blinked, not understanding. "Priest, did you say something?"

"He said damn Little Boy."

Ancient One calmly replied.

"...Huh?!"

Everyone was stunned, especially TankTop Master. "Wait, Priest, were you with Child Emperor in the room..."

"I..."

At this moment, Fang Mo understood why other dimension demons disliked Ancient One.

Fortunately, with his S-class hero reputation, Fang Mo quickly explained and smoothed things over.

After this, Fang Mo began to send people away.

It was midnight, and except for the insatiable Pig God, everyone else was ready to leave. Seeing the hostess unwell, they courteously prepared to depart.

But just as they were about to leave, Bang remembered something and grabbed Fang Mo.

"Priest, we're friends now, right?" Bang looked at Fang Mo intently. "Can you answer a question?"

"First of all, I didn't touch Child Emperor."

Fang Mo, carrying Xiao Yao, covered his forehead.

"Well... not that." Bang hesitated, but finally asked, "Did the Association staff mention anything? Any news about Garou?"

"Oh, that."

Fang Mo didn't hide it. "They said Garou joined the Monster Association, and there's a traitor in the Hero Association. The plan is to raid the Monster Association tomorrow, so..."

"Your disciple won't survive tomorrow."
