My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Inside the villa, Xia Qing mimicked a famous line from the original owner of the body and then began to look around. Diablo's residence, while not luxurious, was certainly not shabby either.

After browsing through the system's memory browsing interface, Xia Qing walked towards the telephone.

The abilities of a support card are not fully unlocked at the beginning; they need to be gradually unlocked by playing the role of a support card.

Now I need to use the power of passion to play the role corresponding to this support card.

Since Li Erlid is a designer and stylist, I'll play the role according to that idea.

After determining the next course of action, Xia Qing began reading Li Erlid's data.

While auxiliary cards cannot allow one to permanently possess certain special powers, knowledge is clearly not within the scope of such special powers.

This auxiliary card allows you to enter the character space to learn about Li Erlid's knowledge of clothing design and other related topics. With his reputation as the strongest, he should be quite good in the design industry.

Different character cards come with slightly different character spaces. The purpose of these spaces is to help users quickly master the abilities, usage skills, and knowledge of the relevant characters.

……

No matter how much time passes in the character space, it is always one second in the outside world. Xia Qing reappears one second after entering the character space, and he now has a good understanding of clothing design.

Is the Passion Organization really a gang or an Italian host club?

After discovering that the members of the Passion group had a very fashionable sense of style, Xia Qing made a comment and then prepared to test what she had learned. First, she decided to draw a design sketch.

Within the character space, he honed his top-notch design skills by browsing the design techniques provided by Li Erlid and utilizing the inexhaustible materials.

There's still some time before the Reincarnators arrive in this world. Until then, I'll start by playing the role of the Designer and trying to acquire Li Erlid's power.

Xia Qing didn't know what the wish of the character corresponding to this card was, so she could only try to play the role based on the character's title.

After completing and refining the design, it was already dark outside. Recalling the memories she had browsed earlier, Xia Qing headed to a nearby restaurant with good food.

About an hour later, including the travel time, Xia Qing returned to Diablo's villa.

The residents near the villa didn't know much about Diablo; in their eyes, Xia Qing was just an ordinary office worker who had recently moved in.

At that moment, what appeared to be an ordinary office worker to the surrounding residents was making a phone call to Neros, the local official.

"Mr. Tobio, what are your orders?"

As one of the organization's executives, Neros knew Diablo's true identity.

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Xia Qing calmly said:

"That gentleman is planning to enter the fields of bespoke suits and clothing design. He's informing the experts in these areas in advance to prepare for mentoring new talent."

It seems that because of the connection between the soul and the body, Xia Qing was not greatly affected by the original emotions of this body.

???

Neros was stunned when he heard Xia Qing's words.

What's going on? Aren't we Passion the Mafia? Why are we suddenly venturing into the fashion design industry? Doesn't this seem a bit out of character for us?

Although he had a lot of complaints in his heart, Neros wisely refrained from asking why.

"Okay, which newcomer needs to be promoted?"

Diablo's method of ruling the organization through fear, while potentially breeding traitors, was quite effective; at least few people questioned it.

Neros asked quickly, and Xia Qing gave the answer she had prepared: "The newcomer's name is Diablo. I will fax you the details later."

After saying that, Xia Qing hung up the phone. After all, in Neros's eyes, his current persona was that of Tobio, who relayed orders to the boss.

"Walk the path of the reincarnators, leaving them with no path to walk."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Qing sat cross-legged on the chair and slowly said that if he were a reincarnator and his target was Diablo, it would be a good choice to directly release his information.

Chapter 3: The boss is a good guy (confirmed)

All I need to do is create a fictional "boss," as for something like the passionate boss Diavolo...

Isn't Diablo Italy's chief designer, an enthusiastic cadre, and the boss's new confidant?

The system indicates that entry will begin before the start of Golden Wind, but this "before" is three months before the main storyline begins.

Before the story even begins, you have enough time to establish yourself as the chief designer.

Although she decided to create a designer persona, Xia Qing did not stop training in combat.

King Crimson's abilities are definitely top-tier among Stands in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure world, as long as they aren't compared to Requiem or Beyond Heaven.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye. Three months later, Xia Qing walked out of a restaurant in Naples, Italy, and saw a familiar figure.

Good morning, Bucciarati.

After greeting the familiar figure, Xia Qing silently began to calculate the time in her mind. It seemed that the story of Golden Wind had already begun.

So... the reincarnators should be arriving in this world soon, right?

Bucciarati is one of the important characters in the story. His Stand ability is Chain Fingers, and he can be considered one of the few good people in Passion.

Unaware of Xia Qing's thoughts from a short distance away, Bucciarati asked gratefully upon seeing Xia Qing's sudden appearance, "Good morning, Mr. Diavolo, what did the boss say?"

"The boss has temporarily stopped selling that stuff, but he has also issued a strict order... If we want to stop it completely, we need to make profits in the clothing industry comparable to that stuff."

Xia Qing shrugged and said with some helplessness, "Actually, I also have plans to permanently ban drugs, but this is something that can't be done all at once."

For now, we can only hold off on this batch of goods and will not sell them for a while.

If this source of income is cut off indefinitely, disharmony will definitely arise within the organization.

Xia Qing wasn't worried about this at all, as long as he could overwhelm the entire organization before restarting his drug-related financial scheme.

"clothing……"

Upon hearing this, Bucciarati felt a glimmer of hope, but then a sense of helplessness washed over him. Creating a path to wealth comparable to drugs was no easy feat.

"Don't worry, taking the low-profit, high-volume approach may not be able to completely ban it, but at least it will give the boss a reason to support banning the sale of drugs to minors."

Completely banning it is impossible without offering comparable profits; even bosses have their difficulties. Forcibly banning it will inevitably lead to some dissenting voices within the organization.

Xia Qing pretended to be somewhat helpless. In the past three months, in addition to fashion design, Xia Qing had also learned some knowledge about acting.

“That’s true, but it’s already beyond my expectations that you were able to do this. It’s all thanks to you, Mr. Diablo. How about I treat you to a meal at a restaurant after we’re done? I know a little place that’s pretty good.”

Seemingly having figured something out, Bucciarati didn't dwell on the drug issue anymore. In his eyes, Xia Qing was bearing all the pressure of this matter alone.

The boss also intends to ban drugs, but unfortunately, there will inevitably be some opposition within the organization, making it difficult for the boss to make a direct decision.

Having roughly guessed what Bucciarati was thinking, Xia Qing had no intention of revealing it and instead asked with feigned curiosity, "Handling matters? Which guy has provoked the organization this time?"

"The target this time is Giorno Giovanna, and it's very likely that he killed Luca with Tears in His Eyes."

Bucciarati answered Xia Qing's curiosity quite readily.

If expressed in terms of favorability, after Xia Qing's series of self-directed and self-acted efforts to combat drugs, Bucciarati's favorability towards him has risen to respect.

Furthermore, given his position as the boss's confidant, which placed him above the cadres, Bucciarati felt there was absolutely no need for him to hide anything from Xia Qing.

"Gioruno Giovanna? That name sounds familiar... Wait, let me think..."

After pretending to recall for a moment, Xia Qing said to Bucciarati:

“I do remember that person. He seems to be a Stand user. He once saved the life of an organization executive. In that case, let’s teach him a lesson and spare his life.”

The current boss has been portrayed by Xia Qing as a good person who originally supported the fight against drugs. Who knows how Bucciarati will treat his teammate Giorno in the story under these circumstances?

Xia Qing made a special mention of this to avoid the two sides actually getting into a life-or-death struggle.

"Understood."

Upon hearing this, Bucciarati nodded in understanding, while Xia Qing, who was standing next to him, suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xia Qing suddenly freeze, Bugarati asked curiously, and the next moment he saw Xia Qing frown.

"I just received information from one of the boss's bodyguards whose Stand ability is telepathy."

The Stand user, possessing precognitive abilities, foresaw that someone intended to capture and interrogate me to obtain information about the boss.

Xia Qing's words were naturally fabricated. The reason she was stunned just now was because she heard a notification from the system that the reincarnator had arrived in this world.

"What...do you need my help?"

Upon hearing this, Bucciarati, who considered Xia Qing his confidant in the fight against drugs, was naturally outraged. However, Xia Qing simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, as the boss's trusted confidant, I am naturally not a weak Stand user either."

After listening, Bucciarati didn't say anything more about his willingness to help. Since Xia Qing was confident, he figured he didn't need to worry.

Bucciarati didn't intend to ask Xia Qing about her Stand ability, since Stand abilities are a very private matter, and as a confidante of the boss, Xia Qing's Stand ability must be kept hidden.

“Mr. Diavolo, I’ll go take care of Giorno’s matter now.”

When they reached the crossroads where they had to part ways, Bucciarati said he was going to deal with Giorno's matter first. Xia Qing nodded to indicate that she understood and continued her walk.

Watching Bucciarati walk away, Xia Qing lost all interest in taking a walk. The reason she came here for a walk was simply to create a chance encounter with the main characters.

Li Erlid's character card has now been theoretically developed to its limit. Through continuous development, Xia Qing has learned how to fully master the power of that card.

To understand the true knowledge of reason and the ultimate beauty of emotion.

Xia Qing responded that he didn't even know where the end of the universe was, so how could he possibly know rational truth and the ultimate beauty of emotion?

As Bucciarati departed, on the other side of this world, a team of reincarnators from beyond the world finally found a ship at sea.

Looking at the yacht not far away, a reincarnator with a scar on his face waved towards the yacht, trying to call for help.

Chapter 4: Iluso, are you looking at me?!

Seemingly sensing the Reincarnator's distress call, the yacht slowly began to move towards the location of the lifebuoy. Just as the Reincarnator was trying to sneak onto the yacht, Xia Qing, who had arrived at her doorstep, suddenly frowned.

If I'm not mistaken, there sound like footsteps in the room?

The Scarlet King - Epitaph!

The ability to foresee the future activated at this moment, and the next few dozen seconds of the future flashed before Xia Qing's eyes.

"The person in the mirror..."

Having seen the future, Xia Qing understood where the noise in the house was coming from. At this moment, the person in the bedroom of this residence was a member of the assassination team named Iruso.

Xia Qing had no intention of directly engaging in battle with the assassination team. For him, the most important thing at the moment was to survive until the end of the story and then take over Diablo's body.
