Cross five times and join a professional team

After checking Bobo's condition and confirming that he was fine, Joseph stretched out his finger and lightly touched a little of what Bobo had just eaten, then put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

"It's okay, not poisonous, and not too bad. Polnareff's tolerance is really too poor. It seems that I will have to design a special training for him in the future."

Seeing Joseph with a normal expression, Jotaro, who was very curious, stretched out a finger, dipped a little and put it in his mouth.

"what…"

Jotaro uttered a low, disgusted onomatopoeia, and a mask of pain appeared on his face the moment the food entered his mouth.

"Old man, how can you eat this?"

Old thing?

Hearing Jotaro address Joseph like this, Kakyoin looked back and forth at the two of them.

Is this a conflict? What happened?

"Hahaha, Jotaro, you're still too young. Come stay with me for two years and you'll understand."

Although it was said as a joke, no matter how Jotaro listened, he could hear a lonely tone from Joseph's mouth.

"What? It turns out that what I made is edible."

Seeing Hakimi carefully taking a bite of the biscuit he made, everyone else's faces turned dark.

"Shouldn't a chef taste his own dish before serving it?"

In response to Joseph's questioning, Hakimi smiled, tilted his head, and stuck out his pink little tongue.

Hey, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I'm just a dog.

So, when Bobo woke up naturally, a few people picked up some edible things and ate them, and that was how they made ends meet.

After eating and drinking, they continued the discussion in front of Hakimi without telling him.

"This is the situation. According to ancient texts, the Philosopher's Stone possesses powerful properties. It can resurrect the dead and grant immortality. It is also an important medium for performing powerful magic."

"Yes, that's right. The Philosopher's Stone does possess powerful energy, which is enough to disrupt the time and space around it. The teleportation you mentioned can be easily achieved."

Hakimi nodded, looked at the eyes of several people gathered around him, cleared his throat, and continued speaking.

"It just so happens that we are the guardians of the Philosopher's Stone. Some time ago, a ranger went to inspect the holy place where the Philosopher's Stone was stored and received news that the Philosopher's Stone was missing."

"I think the problem lies with the Kaz you mentioned."

"The Philosopher's Stone is very important to us. It is its power that allows us to escape the cycle of time."

Joseph reached out to stop Hakimi from saying anything and asked his own question.

"Since the Philosopher's Stone is so important to you, why don't you send troops to take it back?"

"Good question, ahem."

Hakimi coughed twice and looked a little embarrassed.

"In fact, the Philosopher's Stone has been stolen more than once or twice. We are stuck in this dungeon and can't get out. It's been really boring for so many years."

"So sometimes we rent the magic stones to those monsters for 600 blue coins a day, and if they don't return them when the time comes, we take them back."

"But, as you can see, we have been receiving protection money these days. Even if the Philosopher's Stone was stolen, we didn't take it too seriously."

Hakimi looked at Kakyoin, and the eyes of the people around him were focused on Kakyoin.

"Oh, Mr. Hakimi, you mean the delivery guy who comes here every day to deliver packages."

Kakyoin nodded, confirming the credibility of what Hakimi said, but this gave Jotaro Kujo and the others a headache.

"Now that you've received protection money, will you still send troops to accompany us?"

"If it's about taking back the Philosopher's Stone, we will send troops. After all, if those monsters use the Philosopher's Stone to do some harm, the Guardian will sense it, and we will go out and take the Stone back."

After Hakimi finished speaking, Jotaro and the others were obviously much more relaxed. After all, the experience would definitely be different with or without teammates, and these were ancient warriors who had survived many years ago.

"But, it won't work if I'm with you guys."

Hakimi took a deep breath while speaking, causing Joseph, who was inhaling, to cough.

"Why? Aren't you here to protect the Philosopher's Stone?"

Looking at the confused people, Hakimi began to explain slowly.

"First of all, if we're going to form a team to grab the Philosopher's Stone, you'll just have to wait here obediently. The dungeon has its own rules. It can only accommodate one team at a time, so a team of four is allowed to enter the dungeon."

"This is a hard and fast rule. We can't waive it. So if the four of you plan on coming together, we won't be able to help you. We can only provide you with some additional support in the tavern."

"For example, equipment enhancement, skill enhancement, giving you passive abilities, providing some dungeon environment information, etc."

After Hakimi finished speaking, Jotaro adjusted his hat and nodded.

"Well, I'll trouble you guys then. We've decided to go down into the dungeon and complete this journey on our own."

"Yes, yes! Since you can't help us, we can just go on our own. My sword is not without its sharpness!"

Bobo lowered his head slightly, covered his face with his fingers, summoned the silver chariot, placed it in front of him, and did a difficult JOJO stand in front of Hakimi.

"Yi Lu Yi Umbrella, you're quite good at showing off. Okay, all of you come with me first. I'll take you to strengthen yourself."

Hakimi made a dog face, put his paws together in front of him, and pretended to pat Bobo with his paw pads, but there was no sound at all. Then he turned around, jumped off the chair, and turned his head slightly to signal others to follow him.

"Let's go, Mr. Jotaro. I'll go ahead."

Kakyoin smiled gently at Jotaro, nodded, and took the lead to catch up with Hakimi.

"Let's go, old man, Polnareff."

"Oh, here we come."

Jotaro and his companions followed closely behind.

"Come, come, look over here. This is the first station I chose for you to strengthen, instructor!"

Chapter 166: All members are strengthening

"Come, let me introduce you. This green hat, the one with the whistle hanging around his neck and the little notebook in his hand is our invincible mentor."

Hakimi rushed to the mentor's side, gently grabbed the mentor's sleeve, and dragged him to the dungeon to fight the Kaz group.

"Yes, these four are the ones. Please strengthen their skills."

The instructor nodded, looked them up and down, and finally led them to an armored training stake.

"Use your skills first, let me take a look."

"Mr. Jotaro, let me go first."

Jotaro nodded and gave up his seat. Kakyoin walked from behind him to the dummy, exhaled, and summoned his own stand.

"Emerald Splash!"

As the Green Emperor twisted his wrist, green gems shot out and hit the training dummy.

"Nice attack speed, decent damage, and decent endurance. Do you need to increase the range and size of your projectiles..."

The tutor nodded and started writing something in the notebook.

"If you have any other moves, show them to me and I'll strengthen them for you."

"There is one more move, but it's a variation of the Emerald Splash. I'm not sure if it counts as a move."

Kakyoin took a deep breath and instructed the Emperor to quickly set up a barrier around him.

"Well, this move is not bad. Let's temporarily increase the skill range and accuracy."

The instructor tore off a page from the notebook he had finished writing and handed it to Kakyoin.

"Keep it. I have nothing more to teach you."

Emerald Splash → Emerald Water Blade: Skill range is reduced, projectile size is reduced, speed is slightly increased, penetration is increased.

20-meter radius Emperor's barrier → 2,000-meter radius Emerald Tsunami: The barrier range is slightly increased, the size of projectiles is increased, the number of skills is increased, and the damage is increased.

Kakyoin politely took the paper with both hands and looked at it carefully. On it were a few small problems recorded by his mentor, and below were some detailed tips on how to solve them. Turning over the paper, he saw a huge pentagram pattern engraved on the back.

Ignoring Kakyoin who was looking at the paper curiously, the instructor walked back to his original position.

"next."

"Let me do it. It's a good time to relax after dinner."

Bobo stretched his shoulders twice, put his hands behind his head, twisted his neck left and right, walked slowly to the wooden stake, and summoned the silver chariot.

"Well, the defense is okay, the speed is OK, but the attack power is lacking. Do you have any other moves?"

"Hmph, look at me!"

Under Bobo's control, the armor on the silver chariot exploded and disintegrated instantly, and its speed soared again. After a burst of extremely fast attack speed, the silver chariot retreated suddenly and bounced the sword in its hand out.

"Speed ​​is up to standard, defense reset to zero? Too fragile. I'll give you a shield and a few more charge points."

Silver Chariot → Silver Armored Car: Increased armor defense, slightly increased blade strength, and reduced speed

Silver Chariot, Unarmor → Silver Chariot, Broken Blade: Reduces skill cooldown, increases invincibility by half a second when armor explodes, and gains a shield that can withstand one attack after the skill is activated. If the shield is broken, no damage will be taken.

Bullet Blade → Shoot him! Sharpshooter: Increased speed, increased penetration, increased damage, and a charge every 15 seconds, with a maximum charge of three.

The instructor repeated the steps of the previous group, wrote and drew something on the notebook, then tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Bobo. Bobo quickly took the paper and walked aside to make room for the next person.

"Ahem, my Hermit Purple isn't a stand that specializes in attacking. How are you going to strengthen it? I see!"

Joseph stepped forward, coughed twice tactically, and stretched out his palm towards the training dummy in front of him. Purple thorns spread from his wrist and tightly wrapped around the wooden stake.

"Strengthen direction, increase strong control, extend control time, attack with poison, poison can be stacked, next."

Purple Hermit → Thorn Hermit: Attacks become invisible, increases the duration of strong control, attacks with poison, and the poison can be stacked

The mentor tore off a piece of paper and handed it to the old man, while Joseph was still mumbling something as he left.

"How can I strengthen myself in such a short time?"

Finally, it was Jotaro's turn. He pressed down the hat on his head, took a step forward, and pressed towards the training dummy with an invincible aura.

"Hoo-ola! Oola! Oola!"

As the last syllable of Jotaro's breath fell, Star Platinum shot out from behind him. The angry Ou pulled the wooden stake for three minutes, and then broke it directly and sent it flying.

"Oh! The speed and destructive power are both amazing. You should say that there is no need for enhancement in this aspect."

Looking at the damage caused by Jotaro, the mentor put down his pen and notebook and stood aside, looking at Jotaro calmly.

"Do you have any special skills? Otherwise, I'll find another wooden stake for you..."

"no need."

The mentor was interrupted by Jotaro before he could finish his words.

"My skills don't require a target, and I don't know if you can sense it. Forget it, just use your body to feel it."

"The cafeteria is pouring hot sauce, what! Varudo!"

One second passed

After a strange sound effect, everything around him lost its color except Jotaro. He moved a few feet in the space, changed his position, and then quietly waited for the time stop to end.

Five seconds passed and time began to flow!

"Oh, time stops? Finally, I've come across an interesting ability."

As time was up, the mentor seemed to have known it for a long time and slowly turned his head towards where Jotaro was standing.

Jotaro didn't seem surprised that his mentor could discover him.

They had already mentioned in their previous conversation that this space was so magical, that everyone was immortal, and that they were the ancient guardians of the Philosopher's Stone. They had all created a range-bound magic circle of time and space. He would be surprised if they couldn't discover this.

"Here, take it. I have nothing more to teach you."

Star Platinum, World → Me and the World: Now you can feel and use the abilities of all Stands related to the fate of the Joestar family on the world line.

"Thank you."

Jotaro took the paper with one hand, nodded to his instructor, and walked back to his team.

--at the same time--

"No, your enhancement is a bit too outrageous, isn't it?"

"My energy level is too strong. Even a small amount can cause them to undergo qualitative changes."

Bai Ze and Lucifer, two soul experts, squatted together, looking at the parchment shared in their hands, feeling the unreasonable and powerful stand ability contained in Jotaro's parchment.
