Under Fang Mo's gentle persuasion.

Hayakawa Aki ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of this sword.

Of course, this could also be put another way: having just experienced a social death, he had started to let things slide, adopting an attitude of 'whatever happens, happens.'

Thus, when the group left the Morino Hotel, Hayakawa Aki was already carrying the sword on his back.

"What kind of Devil is this guy?"

On the way back, Hayakawa Aki asked Fang Mo.

"This idiotic thing should be the Eternity Devil," Fang Mo explained simply. "It sounds impressive, but in reality, it can only create endless loops. In the neighboring ancient Eastern country, it's just at the level of a minor ghost in a chaotic graveyard..."

"So we were almost annihilated by a so-called 'minor ghost of a chaotic graveyard'?"

Hayakawa Aki's complexion didn't look too good, not for any other reason but because he felt he was still too weak. He couldn't even defeat a Devil that had consumed a fragment of the Gun Devil, so how could he fight the Gun Devil itself?

What would he do if he encountered such a Devil again?

"Fang Mo."

After a moment of silence, Hayakawa Aki spoke again: "I want to borrow more of your power."

"Hm?"

Fang Mo looked at him surprisingly: "You want to eat shit again?"

"I told you I didn't eat shit," Hayakawa Aki said with a dark face. "And I don't want to eat that ghostly thing again. I feel my physical condition is already strong enough, so I want an ability for area attacks, like the Fox Devil..."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing this, Fang Mo nodded: "Let me think about it..."

Strictly speaking, Fang Mo wasn't lacking in means for large-scale attacks. In fact, many of his current attack methods were of a devastating scale.

For instance, the Void Ring, Ring of Arcana, or various top-tier Tinker' Construct weapons.

But the problem was that he couldn't lend these things to Hayakawa Aki.

However, mentioning the fox gave Fang Mo an idea. He definitely couldn't give the Nine-Tails Chakra Sword, but if he cut a small piece of the Nine-Tails' flesh for Hayakawa Aki to eat... that might be feasible.

In the original "Naruto" series, Kin and Gin became half-Tailed Beasts after eating the flesh of the Nine-Tails.

If we could somehow give him some chakra, then wouldn't Hayakawa Aki have the ability to launch area attacks?

"Mmm, let's decide on that."

Thinking this, Fang Mo laughed and patted Hayakawa Aki's shoulder, saying, "When you're free, dissolve your contract with the Fox Devil. I'll introduce you to another fox later. That guy is a Demon fox, way more awesome than the one you're contracted with now..."

"Really?"

Hayakawa Aki seemed a bit surprised. "Are there two Fox Devils in this world?"

"The one you're contracted with now is just an ordinary fox, a concept of a wild beast," Fang Mo bluffed. "The one I'll introduce you to is a Nine-Tailed Demon fox, a concept of a Demon. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Is that so?"

Hayakawa Aki nodded subconsciously.

An ordinary fox indeed didn't seem very frightening, but a legendary Fox Devil... Perhaps there would indeed be those who held it in awe. Thinking this way, it seemed to make some sense.

"So when will you introduce me to the Fox Devil?"

Hayakawa Aki asked again.

"I'll study it a bit when I get back," Fang Mo waved his hand. "For now, you guys go report back. I really don't feel like dawdling with Makima anymore. Oh, right, take this to her."

Saying this, Fang Mo took out a long item wrapped in blue food paper from his bosom.

"What's this?"

Hayakawa Aki curiously took the item and asked.

"Super delicious enoki mushroom chocolate bar."

Fang Mo yawned. "Take it to Makima to eat. Just say I really don't feel like going over there, and this is an apology."

After saying this, before Hayakawa Aki could react,

Fang Mo activated his Brown Magic, disappearing instantly.

In summary, regardless of how Hayakawa Aki reacted, after Fang Mo returned to his villa, he first summoned Ah Xue to prepare him a lunch, then they spent some time together warmly. Subsequently, he continued to work on his experiments with materialization.

Concerned about blowing up his villa, Fang Mo did not choose the statue of Nyarlathotep. Instead, he turned his attention to the repair amulet.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, a palm-sized tri-color amulet appeared in Fang Mo's hand.

This object seemed to be emitting a strange magical power. Fang Mo sensed it briefly and felt that the waves it emitted were somewhat similar to the Time Stone.

Fang Mo gave it a try.

He found that the object could indeed restore the durability of items.

However, when simply carried on one's person, its effects were not particularly pronounced.

But, if Fang Mo placed it on the dark matter base... the effect would be incredible. The strange magic of time would envelop the entire villa.

The grease on the kitchen hood would gradually decrease, the dulled knives would slowly sharpen, aged wiring, damaged wall plaster, worn table legs, water stains on the bed sheets, all of these would slowly be restored, even the half-drunk beverages in the fridge were slowly refilling.

However, it's worth mentioning that...

The magical field of the repair amulet only worked on objects.

Fang Mo tried a bit and found that it couldn't restore some physical damage or help heal wounds. This was similar to its function in the game, only capable of purely restoring durability.

Even so,

Fang Mo was still very satisfied with it.

After materializing the repair amulet, he then researched other MC items.

Like the Beyond Orchid, the Biological Display Bottle, the Enchanted Holy Rubber Tree Sapling, and the Chemical X, etc.

The Beyond Orchid looked like a small yellow flower, but at the heart of its petals was a mouth. When fed, it would emit a faint blue light, presumably something like magical power, but Fang Mo had not actually come into contact with a magic system before, so he wasn't quite sure how to use it.

Fang Mo's conclusion was... to keep it for Thorn Dominator as a wife in the future.

The Biological Display Bottle was nothing special, just a translucent glass bottle emitting a spatial fluctuation similar to Ender Resonance, seemingly intended to display creatures inside.

The Enchanted Holy Rubber Tree Sapling was also quite ordinary, just a small sapling with branches and leaves shining with a glossy light.

As for the last item, Chemical X,

It was a conical bottle containing half a bottle of mysterious, glowing black liquid.

Fang Mo felt he had seen this substance before but couldn't remember which mod it came from. He had wanted to try a bit himself, but before he could do so, Shoggoth suddenly approached from a distance.

"Ji!"

Shoggoth made a pleasing sound.

"What is it?" Fang Mo could guess what the other was thinking, so he shook the conical bottle in his hand and asked, "Are you interested in this?"

"Ji!"

Shoggoth called out and then stretched out several small tentacles, cutely waving them.

"Haha, alright, then it's yours."

Upon seeing Shoggoth's strenuous performance, Fang Mo also started to smile and then tossed the conical bottle in his hand to the other party.

Shoggoth, upon seeing this, directly hollowed out a large hole in his body and swallowed the conical bottle in one gulp. As the dark, glossy liquid inside was gradually absorbed, Shoggoth's body also started to tremble. His body, originally larger than a car, began to compress and shrink, eventually turning into a small clump the size of a palm.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Shoggoth's transformation, Fang Mo was somewhat surprised.

If the initial Shoggoth resembled some kind of jelly or gel with a vaguely translucent texture, then now, Shoggoth had completely changed in appearance.

Although now just a small clump the size of a palm.

But now, Shoggoth's body had become like some kind of pitch-black adhesive.

Just by looking, one could feel that its body was much more resilient than before, a small, sleek clump nestled in the corner. If described using magical terms, it was like some kind of tangible, living darkness; and if described using scientific terms, it was as uniquely shaped as a magnetorheological fluid.

"It seems this little guy has gotten stronger, Master."

Ah Xue, who was cleaning nearby, saw this scene and curiously tilted her head: "What's that word... murasion? Evosion?"

"It's mutation and evolution."

Fang Mo corrected Ah Xue's words, but upon mentioning mutation, he suddenly recalled something and paused for a moment.

Indeed, the word mutation made him think of the 'mutant creature' module.

And recalling the term 'Chemical X' earlier, he suddenly remembered that this item was part of the mutant creature module in the game, meant to allow creatures to undergo mutation and evolution. However, in the game, it could only be used to mutate original monsters.

But after this item became real, it probably could cause any creature to mutate, considering that Shoggoth had mutated from a slime creature into a magnetorheological fluid creature.

Thinking of this, Fang Mo unconsciously looked at Shoggoth on the ground.

"Squeak!"

Feeling Fang Mo's gaze, Shoggoth also chirped lightly, then immediately jumped onto Fang Mo's knee, extending a small, soft tentacle, indicating a desire to be petted.

Fang Mo himself was someone who really liked small pets, and seeing this scene, he smiled and then reached out a finger intending to pet the other.

However, just at that moment, the sound of a doorbell suddenly rang at the entrance.

"Master, let me go and open the door."

Ah Xue, hearing the doorbell, took the initiative to go and open the door. As soon as the door was opened, a very calm male voice came from outside.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself, you self-proclaimed 'Happy Devil'."

Hearing this voice, Fang Mo subconsciously turned his head to look and found that it was a man who looked a bit like Mads Mikkelsen, the actor from the movie Hannibal. His facial expression was somewhat nonchalant, and he was holding a small metal flask in his hand.
