However, this is the JOJO set, so the Millennium Item is impossible. His target is an old woman with two right hands.
The market was quite large, so Qin Chuan wasn't in a hurry. He strolled around the market slowly, carefully observing each stall owner.
Based on the original story's pacing, Enya will only launch her attack after the main characters have defeated seven enemies, and will instead travel all the way to Pakistan to ambush the main characters.
However, judging from the date mentioned by the burly man, the main characters in the third part haven't reached that point yet, so Enya should still be in Cairo and hasn't left.
Enya, that old woman, not only possesses the five arrows she bought from Diavolo, but she is also Dio's confidante, providing him with funds and lodging, as well as helping him create Stand users and subordinates.
Perhaps some of the funds she provided for Dio came from selling arrows; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense why she would sell arrows as handicrafts to Kira Yoshihiro.
If we can find Enya, it will greatly help Qin Chuan's main quest progress. Maybe we can advance more than half of the main quest requirements in just one day.
Perhaps because they were already in downtown Cairo, Qin Chuan wandered around the market for a while without encountering the kind of thugs who tried to extort money from him that he had experienced before.
Although it's still common for vendors to overcharge, Qin Chuan didn't plan to buy anything else here, so he didn't care.
Qin Chuan's efforts were not in vain. After spending more than an hour wandering around, he finally found an inconspicuous shop in a corner of the market.
The shop looked quite old, with various handicrafts on display. The owner standing behind the shop was an old woman with white hair, a short stature, and a face full of wrinkles.
More importantly, her hands are facing exactly the same direction; she has two right hands!
"Hehe...is there something you've got your eye on, sir?"
Enya noticed Qin Chuan's gaze and let out a slightly eerie laugh, inviting Qin Chuan to come and have a look at her shop.
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, not walking over immediately, but first using his ability to sense "qi" to carefully perceive the situation of the people around Enya's shop.
Enya is also a Stand user. Her Stand, "Justice," is a Stand composed of mist that can inject mist into the human body through wounds, thereby manipulating the corpse to perform actions.
In the original work, Enya brutally murdered the entire population of a small town in Pakistan, manipulating all their corpses and disguising them as living people, which was undeniably ruthless.
However, through his perception of "qi", Qin Chuan realized that the people around Enya's shop were all normal living people, not corpses, so it seemed that they had not been harmed by Enya.
After confirming that these people were not controlled by Enya, Qin Chuan walked up to them and pretended to look at the items in Enya's shop, but in reality, he was looking for the presence of arrows.
The items displayed in Enya's shop were mostly various handicrafts, and compared to the items in other shops, these handicrafts were at least much prettier.
It's no wonder that when Kira Yoshihiro bought the arrow from Enya, he initially thought it was just an ordinary craft item—after all, the arrow was indeed placed with these craft items.
However, after searching for a while, Qin Chuan's heart gradually sank.
He discovered that while these handicrafts included all sorts of items, they were missing arrows.
Considering that Enya's departure from Cairo to Pakistan is not far off, the arrows that Enya was preparing to use may have already been bought by Kira Yoshihiro.
In fact, in Qin Chuan's mind, Kira Yoshihiro's arrow was the easiest to obtain.
Kira Yoshihiro initially thought the arrow was just a craft item, until it accidentally pierced him and his son Kira Yoshihiro in the future, at which point they discovered its special nature.
That was a later development; at least for the time being, Kira Yoshihiro was just an ordinary person who had received an arrow but did not know its purpose.
If Qin Chuan wanted, he could even try to go to Morio Town in Japan now, stay at the Kira family's residence, and then use his combat skills to snatch the arrow directly from Kira Yoshihiro, who was still an ordinary person.
The problem was that he didn't know when Yoshihiro Kira would leave Egypt and return to Japan.
If Kira Yoshihiro returns to Japan very late, and Dio has already been killed by the main characters, what's the point of him getting Kira Yoshihiro's arrow?
Even after awakening his Stand, he was unable to complete the main quest to kill Dio, causing his synchronization rate to be permanently frozen at 0%, preventing him from synchronizing back into the real world.
Although he was thinking these things, Qin Chuan kept his expression normal, so as not to let En Ya see any flaws:
"Boss, are these all the handicrafts? Are there any others?"
"Oh? It seems this guest has very discerning taste."
Enya didn't suspect that Qin Chuan had his eye on the arrows, after all, she saw many tourists like Qin Chuan from Asia every day in this market.
Compared to the other guests, Qin Chuan was only unusual in that he was acting alone.
"If you're interested, I also have a special handicraft here, but it carries a very special meaning, and the price will probably be quite high..."
Perhaps thinking that Qin Chuan might be able to afford a high price, Enya chuckled, slowly squatted down, took out another long box from under the shop, and gently placed it up.
Upon seeing the long box, Qin Chuan's heart skipped a beat, sensing that what he was looking for might finally appear.
“That’s the arrow—it’s quite valuable, but I already have a few, so I’m going to sell one to raise some money.”
Enya slowly opened the long box, and sure enough, inside lay an arrowhead made of meteorite, with a wooden shaft that was obviously installed later.
Although it is not an extremely special "insect arrow", this arrow is undoubtedly the kind of "arrow" that can awaken a Stand!
Qin Chuan's heart pounded, and he thought to himself that it was good he had asked one more question and hadn't left immediately.
It seems that Kira Yoshihiro hasn't bought the arrow yet. In the original work, he probably asked one more question, just like Qin Chuan, which is why Enya took out the arrow.
Chapter Thirty-Four: Still Not Enough Power
"Oh? This arrow is nice. How much?"
Qin Chuan pretended to be seeing the arrow for the first time, and unceremoniously reached out and took the arrow out of the box, playing with it in his hand.
By the way, could you tell me the price of this arrow? Although Qin Chuan knew that the price of this arrow would definitely not be cheap, in order to break even and make a profit, Enya would definitely ask for a price several times higher than the purchase price.
At least Qin Chuan only had the money he had stolen from those thugs... and he had even spent a little on bus fare, so it was impossible for him to have any money left.
"This arrow is not cheap at all, because it cost me a lot of money when I bought it."
Enya watched with a smile as Qin Chuan picked up the arrow, but made no attempt to stop him. She simply uttered the usual lines merchants use to inflate prices.
In fact, Enya wasn't lying; he did spend a lot of money to buy the five arrows from Diablo.
How much exactly?
To put it simply, Diablo used the seed money he received from Enya to establish an organization called "Passion," which then grew into a massive organization capable of manipulating the political, business, and underworld spheres.
While Diablo's methods played a role in the organization's growth to such a massive scale, the substantial initial funding was also essential for its success.
Qin Chuan was prepared for the astronomical figures to be announced.
What Qin Chuan was even more concerned about was that Enya didn't seem to care at all that he was handling the arrow.
Keep in mind that Enya is a short old woman. If she were an ordinary old woman, Qin Chuan would have simply run away with the arrow, and Enya would have no chance of catching up.
However, Enya was completely unconcerned about Qin Chuan's action of taking the arrow, which meant that Enya was absolutely confident that she could capture Qin Chuan before he could escape.
“A Stand... Enya’s misty Stand, ‘Justice,’ is her source of confidence.”
Qin Chuan knew very well where Enya's confidence came from. To be honest, Qin Chuan didn't have a good way to deal with Enya's substitute at the moment.
Qin Chuan's combat power of 40 is strong enough for an average person, and even enough to overwhelm most Stands in terms of strength and speed, but the mist-like Stand "Justice" happens to be immune to physical damage.
If Qin Chuan's combat power were a little higher, and he unleashed a high-intensity ki blast, any mist-like substitute would evaporate along with the mist.
But Qin Chuan can't do it now; 40 points of combat power isn't enough for him to unleash that kind of high-intensity energy wave—if he learned the Kamehameha, maybe he could give it a try.
As a type of energy blast, the Kamehameha is arguably one of the energy blasts with the greatest power amplification, but unfortunately Qin Chuan cannot learn it for the time being.
Why add "one of"? Because there's an even more powerful energy wave, which can even be life-threatening, called the energy cannon.
As for teleportation... a teleportation with a synchronization rate of only 1% is not enough to allow Qin Chuan to move directly out of this market.
Judging from the original work, Enya's Stand "Justice" is enough to cover the entire town, making it quite difficult for Qin Chuan to escape directly from the range of Enya's Stand ability.
"For this price... I'll sell you this arrow."
Sure enough, under Qin Chuan's gaze, Enya slowly uttered an extremely exaggerated number, making Qin Chuan's eyelids twitch.
As for exactly how big it is, I won't go into the specific amount, but it's a price that most people simply can't afford.
Upon hearing this number, Qin Chuan was also shocked. He couldn't help but think of the old man, Yoshihiro Kira—the Kira family had never uttered a word, yet they were able to spend so much money on a craft item.
However, if you think about Yoshikage Kira's self-introduction in the original work, he seems to have mentioned that his ancestors were once a samurai family, which means that his ancestors were wealthy and left his family with a considerable fortune.
But spending so much money to buy a "work of art" is too ridiculous. It's impossible that Enya took a fancy to that old man Kira Yoshihiro and asked for a much lower price than Qin Chuan.
"It's too expensive. I don't have that much cash on me." Qin Chuan calmly put the arrow back into the box, then pretended to be very interested in the arrow and said to Enya.
"But I am really interested in this piece of art. Could you please hold it for me? I will bring the money to you by tomorrow at the latest."
The main reason for saying this is that they are worried that Kira Yoshihiro might come looking for the arrow, just like in the original work, and become interested in it as well, since Kira Yoshihiro bought the arrow in the original work.
Therefore, he hoped that Enya would keep the arrow and not sell it to anyone else.
"Hehe, I can tell you really like this arrow... No problem, I'll keep it for you. I won't sell it to anyone else before this time tomorrow."
Qin Chuan's interest was genuine, and En Ya noticed this as well. Therefore, she did not suspect that Qin Chuan had any other motives, and simply smiled kindly and nodded in agreement.
If someone were unaware of the situation, they might genuinely believe she was just a kind old lady, but Qin Chuan knew very well that this woman could kill without even blinking.
“Just like I said, this arrow has a very special power. It will choose a specific person… I can feel that not only you like this arrow, but this arrow likes you too.”
Enya looked at Qin Chuan as he put the arrow back into the box, her tone carrying a dull laugh, speaking like a charlatan.
"If you still haven't raised enough money by tomorrow, you can come to me. Maybe I can find another way for you to pay on your behalf."
It is certain that the arrow will choose its target, especially since this arrow is very likely the same arrow that Kira Yoshihiro used in Part 4.
In the fourth installment, this arrow will actively choose people with potential, and can even help those who already have a Stand awaken new abilities when needed.
The final boss of Part 4, Yoshikage Kira, once used this arrow to awaken new extra abilities in his Stand.
Although the arrow was lying in the box and not pointing at him, Enya seemed to have figured something out and gave Qin Chuan a creepy smile.
Qin Chuan knew very well that the "other method" she mentioned probably meant making him swear allegiance to Dio and help Dio deal with the main characters and their group in the third part.
If he could get the arrow simply by pretending to be loyal to Dio, Qin Chuan wouldn't really care. As long as he could get the arrow, pretending to be loyal to Dio wouldn't cost him anything.
The problem is that Dior has methods to control his subordinates.
As a vampire, Dio can use his own flesh and blood to create special flesh buds.
By implanting flesh buds into his subordinates' bodies, he could not only control their thoughts and actions, but after Dio's death, these flesh buds would also transform them into undead monsters with low intelligence.
If Qin Chuan chooses to pretend to be loyal to Dior, he will most likely be asked to have Dior's flesh buds implanted—something he cannot accept.
It would be better to be controlled by Babidi, at least that one could actually resist through his own willpower.
Therefore, the best solution is to acquire a large sum of money in the coming days and buy the arrow directly from Enya.
As for whether Enya will change her mind? At least judging from the fact that Kira Yoshihiro is indeed holding that arrow in the fourth part, Enya is indeed going to sell the arrow, so Qin Chuan is not worried about this.
"Sigh, if we could just bring more fighting power out of the Dragon Ball world, there wouldn't be this much trouble."
After leaving the market, Qin Chuan sighed – it's only because they lack the strength that they have to resort to such scheming and infighting.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Episode That Makes Me Miss the Beautiful Country the Most (
After leaving the market, Qin Chuan first tried to stay as far away from Enya's location as possible to ensure that he would not be seen by Enya's stand-in before he began to raise funds.
While claiming to be raising funds, Qin Chuan's approach was actually the same as many male protagonists who had just gained powerful combat abilities—he would first engage in a double-cross.
"This...this is all the money I have..."
In the dark alley, a strangely dressed thug knelt on the ground, trembling as he took out all his valuables and handed them to Qin Chuan.
Judging from the bruises on his body, he had clearly suffered inhumane treatment before this.
Qin Chuan casually pocketed the money, but instead of letting the thug go, he asked the same question he had already asked several other thugs:
Are there any places around here where you can make money quickly?
"Places where money comes in quickly... I don't know."
The thug paused for a moment, then shook his head ignorantly—if he knew where to make money quickly, would he need to be a thug?
"What I mean is, are there any places to make quick money like underground boxing matches? You're a petty thug, you should know something, right?"
Qin Chuan frowned and pressed for more details—he was currently in dire need of money, and the funds these petty thugs could provide were negligible.
"No, that's not true... or maybe it is, but I don't know."
The thug was almost in tears. Although Qin Chuan didn't look particularly tall, the scene of him kicking through the stone wall had left him with considerable psychological trauma.
He was now very afraid that Qin Chuan would be dissatisfied with him and then kick him, leaving a hole in his body.
"And what about the Cairo underworld? You should know how to find them, right?"
Qin Chuan had already heard this answer from several other thugs, so he wasn't discouraged and asked again.
