Just a Stand User Passing By

Fang Mo was completely dumbfounded.

He still had not figured out what the Chinese Language Mod and Lucky Block were all about, and now Iron Man had suddenly appeared? What the hell was going on?

The guy in front of him was definitely Iron Man.

The other man wore a tattered coat, and a crude electromagnet had been embedded into his bloodstained chest, connected by two wires to a car battery. Though his face was gaunt and exhausted, Fang Mo recognized him at a glance. This was definitely the real deal.

But... in Fang Mo's understanding, Iron Man was a movie character. How had he become a real person? Where the hell had he even transmigrated to?

"Iron Man? What's that?"

Stark seemed taken aback by Fang Mo's reaction.

Before he could speak, another frail-looking middle-aged man suddenly said, "Sir, no offense intended, but we're only prisoners captured by terrorists."

"Uh... you're..."

Although his mind was in chaos, Fang Mo quickly recognized him. "The surgeon named Yinsen?"

"You know me?" Yinsen found it strange. He truly could not remember ever meeting Fang Mo, but this was good news. Perhaps it would lessen the other man's hostility.

With that in mind, Yinsen slowly raised both hands to show that he posed no threat. "As you can see, my companion and I are also victims captured by terrorists. Perhaps before long, they'll kill us..."

Yinsen had phrased that rather skillfully. He immediately presented himself as a victim just like Fang Mo, giving them a common enemy.

"Wait, let me sort this out first..."

Before Yinsen could finish, Fang Mo suddenly rubbed his forehead and asked Stark, "So... you really are Tony Stark, right?"

"Uh... yes."

Stark hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"You're sure?"

Fang Mo could not help confirming it again.

"This..." Stark seemed stunned as well, then could not help asking, "Is there another Tony Stark in this world?"

Hearing that,

Countless thoughts surged through Fang Mo's mind.

He had never expected to transmigrate into the Marvel Universe. And judging by the timeline, it was still very early; Iron Man had not even been born yet.

At the same time, he finally understood.

The true identity of the Golden Book from the dungeon reward chest.

If Fang Mo had guessed correctly, the item that allowed him to travel to other worlds probably came from the Mystcraft mod.

Fang Mo had played the Mystcraft mod a few times before.

Its main theme was exploration of other worlds. Players could apparently use a book to travel through all kinds of dimensions. With bad luck, they could fall straight into the void; with good luck, they might even encounter special terrain like the Diamond Continent.

But the problem was that even if Fang Mo had traveled to another world, it should have been an MC world.

Why had it thrown him directly into the Marvel Universe?

Even modding had limits, didn't it?

Great. Now even Fang Mo himself had no idea how to get back.

"Um."

Just as Fang Mo was getting a headache, Yinsen suddenly spoke up to remind him, "Though it may be rude, I still have to remind you that Tony Stark is extremely important to them. So I doubt these lunatics will give up so easily."

As if to prove Yinsen's words, a large number of footsteps soon sounded outside.

Fortunately, Fang Mo was highly adaptable. He had quickly adjusted after transmigrating to the MC world, and this was no different. Though he was still shocked inside, his hands did not slow down at all. He directly controlled Steve to place a huge pile of Cobblestone at the entrance, blocking the group outside.

"Damn it! Where did these rocks come from!?"

Muffled curses drifted in from beyond the meter-thick wall of stone.

Unlike the furious terrorists outside, the two men in the cave were utterly stunned by the sight. Stark especially, who had believed in science since childhood, could not stop his eyes from widening despite having already witnessed this once before. "How... how did he do that?"

"I don't know either."

Yinsen was naturally just as bewildered. He could not make sense of the principle behind it at all. "Nanoprinting? Holograms? Some kind of superpower? Or, like you said earlier... Witchcraft?"

Before the two could discuss it any further, despairing screams suddenly rang out from outside.

That was right. When Fang Mo had used Cobblestone to block the entrance, he had not made Steve stay behind. Instead, he chose to strike first. Hiding endlessly was not Fang Mo's style.

To keep them from escaping, Fang Mo had even specifically made Steve block the exit at the other end of the cave, sealing the terrorists completely inside the passage between the two exits before taking them out one by one.

Before long, the screams outside gradually died away.

"Mm, all done."

Only after dealing with the terrorists did Fang Mo turn back around. "Now we can sit down and have a proper talk."

"Uh... huh?"

Perhaps the screams outside had truly been too frightening, leaving Stark dazed. It was not until Yinsen nudged him that Stark suddenly came back to himself. He hurriedly nodded. "Uh, yes... of course. We really should have a proper talk."

"Then let's start with you."

Fang Mo lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying to Stark, "Tony Stark, right? Let me think. You're that infamous playboy from television, aren't you? The world's biggest arms dealer. So tell me, how did you end up here?"

"I was testing the Jericho Missile in Afghanistan when I was attacked."

At the mention of it, Stark's mood visibly darkened. He pointed at the electromagnet in his chest. "As you can see, when I woke up, this thing had been put in my chest... Thanks to it, the shrapnel can't pierce my heart for now. But these people have been threatening me to build a Jericho Missile. I refused, so they used all kinds of methods to torture me."

"That thing looks pretty sophisticated. Did he make it?"

Fang Mo glanced at the electromagnet in Stark's chest, then pointed at Yinsen beside him. "So he saved your life?"

"Yes. I survived an explosion, and then they put a bomb in me that could explode at any time."

Stark was clearly in an extremely low mood. He lowered his head to look at the electromagnet in his chest, then looked around him. "Look at this terrible place. I could die at any moment from infection, a short circuit, or massive bleeding. And even if I somehow survive, those terrorists definitely won't let me go."

"What about you?"

Fang Mo asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I have to escape." Determination flashed in Stark's eyes. "I can't make a Jericho Missile for them. They'll definitely kill me afterward!"

"The Military must be searching everywhere for you, but this place is far too hidden."

After hearing Stark's words, Yinsen could not help speaking as well. "This area is blank on maps. Even satellites can only see mountains. We need to find a way out ourselves."

"I know. I'm already thinking of one."

Stark covered his head with both hands and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

For a playboy who had enjoyed wealth and luxury since birth, this was already the worst situation of his life. The threat of death filled him with anxiety and confusion. He did not even know how much longer he could live.

"Perhaps... you could try relying on some mysterious Eastern Sorcery?" Fang Mo's voice suddenly rang out. Stark froze and instinctively looked up at him, only to find Fang Mo looking back at him.

"That really was sorcery?"

Stark stared at Fang Mo for a long time before finally asking, "Are you willing to take us out of here? And how did you get here in the first place?"

"That's a long story..."

Fang Mo pondered how he should make up a lie.

Honestly, Fang Mo did not want to stay in the Marvel Universe for too long. The Marvel Universe was far too chaotic. Some villain or another was always popping up and trying to destroy the world. Even with Steve as his Golden Finger, he still wanted to return to the MC world and mine peacefully.

But the problem was that Fang Mo had no idea how to get back.

Although he had played the Mystcraft mod before, that did not mean he understood everything about it. Otherwise, he would not have accidentally transmigrated here in the first place, right?

Since he could not return in the short term, Fang Mo felt it was necessary to build good relationships.

Take Tony Stark in front of him, for example: the richest man in the world, a genius scientist, Iron Man, and one of the future founding members of the Avengers. As the saying went, more friends meant more paths, more husbands meant more homes. Fang Mo had decided that he was definitely going to befriend Stark.

Besides, Fang Mo had always liked Iron Man as a character.

If he had the chance, he also wanted to change the tragedy that had played out in the original story.

"Have you heard of Stand Users?"

After deciding to build a good relationship with Stark, Fang Mo immediately organized his words.

"What are those?"

Naturally, neither of them knew. After all, this world did not have the manga JOJO. They simply shook their heads, while Stark asked curiously, "Is that an Eastern honorific title for Wizards?"

"Actually, I'm just a Stand User passing by."

At that, Fang Mo deliberately sighed. "You might not believe me, but I was peacefully staying at home when, because of some inexplicable situation, I suddenly appeared here. As for what happened afterward, you've already seen it... those terrorists attacked first."

"Wait, you're saying you suddenly appeared here?"

Stark looked visibly surprised after hearing Fang Mo's explanation. "You... are sure?"
