The next moment, Qin Chuan opened the system panel—sure enough, the synchronization rate on the panel had changed once again.

Chapter 45 Cleaning Up the Mess
Look, this is what progress looks like. This is what progress looks like.
On the first day of entering the JOJO world, it took about 4 hours to push the synchronization rate directly to 50%.
In comparison, the synchronization rate in the Dragon Ball world only reached 1% after two days, the difference is simply too great.
However, it must be said that the 40 points of fighting power synchronized from the Dragon Ball world were indeed a great help in this battle against Vanilla.
Without this power, it would be impossible to punch through the ground to avoid spatial obliteration, nor would it be possible to break one of Vanila's arms and one of his legs in one blow.
In the end, they couldn't pull Vanila out of the miasma's mouth like they would pull a chick.
As long as his combat strength is strong enough, many troublesome abilities can be easily resolved, and his powerful strength and speed alone can help him avoid a lot of damage.
So although Qin Chuan seemed to be complaining about the synchronization rate of the Dragon Ball world, he actually wanted a higher synchronization rate with the Dragon Ball world.
"What a mess! Vanilla doesn't care about his surroundings at all."
Qin Chuan looked around at the mess. Since the fight had taken place at the entrance of the hotel, the commotion must have attracted the attention of people in the distance.
However, Qin Chuan couldn't leave immediately; he needed to find the hotel's registration book first—his name was still recorded there.
If the register isn't disposed of, Dior's men will definitely find their names in it.
Just now, Vanila used the sub-vapor miasma to swirl around the hotel entrance and used spatial annihilation to create wind pressure that sucked out many things from the hotel lobby.
It's like being next to a train track at a train station. If a train passes by, it will create a pressure change, which will suck people next to the tracks into the gap between the train tracks.
Vanila's sub-aerial miasma produced a similar effect as it moved at high speed, eroding space, resulting in the ground now being covered in all sorts of mess.
However, it was precisely because it pulled the hotel owner's corpse out of the hotel lobby that Qin Chuan came up with the plan to use the half-corpse to lure Vanila into peeking out.
In a sense, Vanila has brought this upon himself.
"Found it. It wasn't torn apart by the sub-space miasma... Luckily, I didn't take any chances."
After a few minutes of searching, Qin Chuan found the hotel's registration book next to the telephone booth that had been cut in half.
I don’t know if it was good luck for this register, but it wasn’t wiped away by the sub-space miasma—or rather, it wasn’t wiped away completely. Only one corner of the register was wiped, as if a corner had been cut off by scissors.
Qin Chuan opened the register, tore off the piece of paper with his name on it, and then casually threw the register on the ground.
He had actually thought to himself, "So many things were torn apart by the sub-space miasma, maybe the register is gone too," but thankfully he still looked for it, otherwise he would have really missed it.
Sensing that someone would be coming to check on the situation soon, Qin Chuan summoned the black bird, then merged his entire body into the black bird's dark shadow, finally letting the black bird slip into another dimension and disappear from the spot.
The spatial ability of the sub-void miasma allows him to hide inside and move within the alternate dimension, which is indeed a very useful way to conceal himself.
……
"Dio... Lord Dio! It was my fault!"
An hour later, at Dior's mansion, Enya knelt before Dior with a look of fear on her face, letting out a shrill apology that sounded like a scream.
Just now, news of the tragedy that occurred at a hotel in a small town on the outskirts of Cairo has reached Dio and Enya's ears.
What appears to be a horrific hotel massacre should be a headache for the Cairo police, not for Dio and Enya.
However, based on the information from the scene, the ground appears to have been sliced off by an incredibly sharp spherical object, and the mysterious situation remains unresolved, with no trace of the removed cement found...
Without a doubt, it is Vanilla Ace's ability of "Void Miasma"!
And now, Vanilla Ace has not returned. He clearly had a battle at the hotel entrance, but he has not yet returned to Dio's side.
This was almost impossible for that fanatical Dior worshipper.
The only thing that comes to mind is that Vanilla is dead. No matter how fervently he worships Dio, he can never come back to see Dio.
When the news of this reached them, Enya was naturally the most terrified.
Vanilla's mission after leaving this place was to monitor the whereabouts of the arrow she sold and determine whether it would cause trouble for Dio.
The result is already obvious... The boy who obtained that arrow is indeed a huge problem. He had just awakened his Stand when he killed Vanilla Ace, who possessed terrifying abilities!
"Vanilla is dead... What a pity. He was so loyal to me and a very useful subordinate."
On the large bed in the room, Dio was completely immersed in the shadows, his voice low and deep.
Before encountering the Joestar family, Dio had always been this calm and ruthless.
However, after encountering members of the Joestar family, Dio gradually becomes deranged, his emotions completely different from when he is alone in his room.
“Raise your head, Enya. It doesn’t matter that Vanilla is dead. The important thing is the boy who bought the arrows from you… where is his information?”
Although Dio regretted Vanilla's death, he was not saddened by it—after all, Vanilla was just his subordinate, and he would not grieve for his subordinate.
What he cares about more now is the boy who bought the arrow that Enya mentioned, namely Qin Chuan.
From Enya, he learned that the boy who bought the arrow had an Asian appearance, which reminded him of the Joestar family who were on their way to Egypt.
Jotaro Kujo seems to be Japanese, so could the boy who bought the arrow, who also has an Asian face, be related to him?
"I...I don't know."
Enya's face showed fear and unease, as if she was afraid of being blamed by Dio—for her, who had always admired Dio, losing Dio's trust was a huge blow.
Although she sold the arrow to Qin Chuan, she didn't actually know anything about him. In fact, one of Vanilla's goals in this operation was to investigate Qin Chuan's other information on behalf of Enya.
Vanilla did indeed do it; he confirmed Qin Chuan's name in the hotel's register.
But he was killed by Qin Chuan before he could send this information back.
Later, although someone found the hotel's registration book, Qin Chuan's name was no longer on it, so Dio and Enya naturally couldn't find anything out.
As for fingerprint recognition technology... this is the 80s, and Qin Chuan is well aware of this, which is why he doesn't shy away from sticking his fingerprints on the registration book.
The biggest obstacle in Chapter 46 is not being able to find the person.
"This isn't it either... Damn it, which room is Dio's...?"
Qin Chuan stood on a street in downtown Cairo, looking at a house in front of him, wearing a hat he bought from a roadside stall, his face full of anxiety.
After dealing with Vanilla, Qin Chuan began searching for Dio's mansion.
But when he started searching, he realized there were so many similar houses in downtown Cairo!
To avoid being recognized by Enya, Qin Chuan put on a hat, covering most of his face in the shadow of the brim.
As a result, Dior's other men would basically not recognize him based solely on his "Asian boy" appearance.
But even a good disguise is meaningless, because Qin Chuan's main mission is not to "hide for 4 hours while being searched by Dio's men," but to eliminate Dio.
The problem is that he has been wandering around downtown Cairo for several hours.
With eight hours of my time in the JOJO world coming to an end, I still haven't found Dio's mansion.
Unfortunately, there are just too many similar houses in downtown Cairo. Dior's mansion style is not particularly outstanding in Cairo; there are similar houses everywhere.
Moreover, Qin Chuan had no way of confirming whether Dio actually lived in these mansions. The only thing he could do was to use the ability of "Blackbird·Void Miasma" to sneak into the houses and check.
When "Blackbird·Subspace Miasma" moves within the alternate dimension, it is accompanied by spatial erosion, so Qin Chuan has to control it carefully to avoid accidentally eroding load-bearing pillars or something.
He came to see Dior, not to carry out demolition work in downtown Cairo.
Under such cautious methods, the progress of the infiltration and search was predictably slow.
After more than three hours of slow infiltration, Qin Chuan had barely managed to check about ten houses that looked somewhat similar, but there was no trace of Dior in any of them.
In the original work, the protagonists located Dio's mansion thanks to Iggy, a dog who was very intelligent and joined the group.
Qin Chuan, however, didn't have a dog's nose, nor did he possess the Joestar family's ability to sense Dio's bloodline from afar. So, he was almost driven mad just searching for Dio's mansion.
Qin Chuan is now extremely eager to eliminate Dio.
On one hand, it's about completing the main quest and taking your Blackbird out at 100% power.
On the other hand, he was also very envious of the abilities of Dio's Stand, "The World".
The ability to stop time, although it only lasts for a maximum of 9 seconds in the original work, is still a powerful skill that can be enough to win a battle.
In Dragon Ball, time stopping is also a powerful ability to fight opponents of higher levels. Gudu of the Ginyu Force, with his ability to stop time for a few seconds, managed to infiltrate an elite team despite having very low combat power.
In Dragon Ball Super, Hit from Universe 6 became the strongest assassin in his universe by using a similar "time-skip" technique that could only affect events for a fraction of a second, demonstrating the immense power of his abilities.
After all, this ability comes from a battle manga, not from some minor manga—if it were from a minor manga, then this time-stopping ability would probably have no limitations.
Now that Qin Chuan knows that Blackbird can gain power by devouring other people's fragments, he will definitely devour Dio's Stand "The World" without hesitation.
As for whether or not to eat the fragments of Dio's original body... Qin Chuan thought about it and decided against it.
After all, Dio's original power comes from the power of vampires. If the black bird were to swallow it, it would probably only inherit the weakness of being afraid of sunlight, besides gaining some recovery power.
While vampires are physically stronger than ordinary people, it is insignificant to Qin Chuan, who is already backed by the Dragon Ball world.
In addition to Dio's "world," Qin Chuan also wanted to devour the abilities of some of his Stands.
For example, he really wanted Enya's "Justice" ability, which was the one that sold him the arrows.
However, he had just gone to the market and found that Enya's shop was deserted.
He must have received a summons from Dior and rushed off to meet with him.
After all, the fact that Vanilla was killed by Qin Chuan was, in a sense, also closely related to Enya.
It's possible that they'll summon Enya to interrogate her or to extract more information.
"But if we can't find Dior's mansion, it's all for nothing."
Qin Chuan stood on the street and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Who would have thought that the biggest obstacle to defeating Dio in the main quest wouldn't be strength, but finding someone?
Qin Chuan now possesses not only immense power but also the ability to eliminate spatial miasma in the sub-space, making him absolutely capable of defeating Dio. However, he simply cannot find anyone to help him.
"There's not enough time. The rewards will be zero in just over ten minutes. I can't wait until the rewards are zero before I fight Dio."
Qin Chuan looked at the playtime display on the panel with a pained expression. It clearly showed that Qin Chuan's playtime had reached 7 hours and 47 minutes.
In other words, he will trigger the anti-addiction system in 13 minutes, at which point all his gains in this world will be wiped out.
Although he doesn't have to leave this world immediately after the anti-addiction system is triggered, he can't exactly go find and kill Dio while under the debuff of zero rewards.
If you manage to defeat Dio, but the main quest isn't completed due to zero rewards, and the synchronization rate is permanently stuck at 50%, that would be a huge loss.
"Forget it, there's not enough time left to search the next mansion."
After standing on the street for a while in a daze, Qin Chuan decided to leave this mission world.
"Moreover, if Dio is found at the next mansion, it will be even more troublesome, and we may not have enough time to kill him."
Although quitting the game now means that the synchronization rate of the JOJO world is only 50% and Blackbird's strength can only be taken out at 50%, that is enough.
Even if Blackbird can only inherit half of his power, plus half of the "sub-vapor miasma", it is still a pretty good combat force.
He wanted JOJO's Stand mainly to enhance his mental and spiritual power, and now he has achieved his wish.
Once he gets outside, he'll probably be able to see the evil spirits, and with the help of the black bird, he'll be able to deal with them.
Maybe that way we can also help Yotsuya Miko clear away the evil spirits at school, so she won't have to live in fear there.
Qin Chuan was quite considerate of his alumni.
Chapter 47 50% of Stand Power
Having exhausted his eight hours of sleep, Qin Chuan woke up directly in bed after exiting the game.
However, upon waking up, Qin Chuan was startled by the shadow beside him—upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was actually an evil spirit standing next to his bed.
Just like the evil spirits that Yotsuya Miko saw, this pitch-black evil spirit was distorted in shape, barely recognizable as human, and seemed to be composed of black lines.
Perhaps sensing that Qin Chuan, who had just gotten up, was looking at it, the black evil spirit suddenly turned its head to look at Qin Chuan—only then did Qin Chuan find where the evil spirit's head was:
