After sacrificing more than 190 years of Will's life, Dio was depressed to find that this trick didn't work.
But he has used up all the metaphysical means he prepared, and now it is time to compete with real money and hard power.
After completing four hundred consecutive draws, Dio lay back on the bed exhausted.
Paying for games with krypton gold is not something that most people can afford. The mental pressure is too great, especially for Africans.
However, the final result was acceptable. Apart from the two substitutes that were temporarily unusable, some useful things were also obtained.
It includes two pieces of [Arrow] fragments, plus the previous piece, it is just enough to synthesize a complete [Arrow]. Next, it is a good choice to use it for the second evolution of the stand, or to use it together with the golden pet card.
Then there are three one-time temporary experience cards, namely [Evil Squadron], [Youthful Years] and [Silver Chariot] which have already been drawn once.

After taking a short rest, Dio stood up again, sighing as he counted his gains.
To say that I lost money, it’s not that bad. Not counting the huge pile of ripple beads, the two substitutes and three temporary experience cards alone are enough to make back my investment.
But to say that he made a huge profit, the stand he drew this time cannot be used for the time being. Those temporary experience cards can replenish his inventory to some extent and provide some help for the subsequent New York battle, but the specific effects are still hard to say.
The [Bombing Space] he wanted the most at the moment was so small that he couldn't even see its shadow, which was also intoxicating.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have agreed to set the drop rate of those SSR-level stand-in cards to 0.016%. With such a drop rate and no guarantee mode, what should a non-African like him do? (FGO is like this, it's uncomfortable)
From this we can see that the reason why he was able to draw [World] in the early stage was definitely because his name triggered some metaphysical law.
"It seems that Will's value has been completely squeezed out. Who should we sacrifice next time?"
After Dio sorted out all his things, the remaining task was to eat up all the "candy beans" he had drawn. He felt that the ripple beads he had drawn with the twenty million US dollars he had spent this time were enough for him to open the fourth card slot.
This price is really not easy!
When the last ripple bead was thrown into Dio's mouth and converted into ripple energy, the value of the golden energy bar on the game panel also stopped at 633333.
More than 630,000 ripple energies are equivalent to doubling again, and successfully unlocked the fourth stand slot that can only be opened when the ripple energy reaches 500,000!
The ripple energy required to open the fifth and final substitute slot is one million!
Every time this happens, Dio feels that it would be a good idea to draw out a large number of Ripple Beads. Not only can it quickly enhance his own strength, but the sooner the Stand card slot is opened, the better.
The cost is just too high. From the beginning of spending money to now, I have spent tens of millions of US dollars to open the fourth card slot.
If I work honestly to earn money, I guess there will be no hope in this life!
There should still be some time before the upcoming New York War, and Dio is also preparing to save some money for one last try. With the war approaching, it is always good to be more prepared, even if it is just to draw out two more temporary experience cards. You can never have too much of this stuff.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the next few days, Dio maintained the restaurant's business while observing Will's situation from time to time.
After discovering that even after he forced Will to sacrifice his lifetime of sexual happiness and 190 years of life, Will was still alive and kicking, holding his phone and acting like a lapdog all day long, Dio felt relieved. It seemed that the power of metaphysics has not yet come true on Will. I hope that day will come later, Amenta.
By the weekend, Dio came to a hospital.
He felt deeply inadequate and had nearly killed Tony on the operating table last time, so he made up his mind to learn some surgical knowledge about the human body structure.
Because Tony and Coulson seemed to be avoiding him recently, he had to ask Pepper to find a good teacher for him, not the kind of 'good teacher' who just throws a book at him and lets him memorize it by himself!
His time is limited and he can only spare one day a week to study, so it is best to learn through practice.
And Pepper did not disappoint his trust. He quickly found a surgeon for him who was famous for his superb medical skills.
As the CEO of Stark Industries, he was naturally given great honor. Even the hospital gave him convenience and was willing to cooperate with Dio's studies in terms of time.
Of course, Dior had to pay the expensive tuition fees himself every time.
Although Tony owed him a lot of money, he would not make things difficult for Pepper. As the saying goes, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. Even if he hides to the ends of the earth, he can still catch him back!
So just like that, Dio followed the message Pepper sent him and went there.
In front of the lounge, he knocked on the door very politely. After all, he came here to spend money to charge his phone, not to cause trouble. If it weren't for Pepper's reputation, doctors of this level would never take the time to teach a layman like him. One must know one's own limitations.
But even though he had made sufficient mental preparations in advance, the first learning process was still very memorable for him.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
After Dio knocked on the door, a beautiful doctor with long hair opened the door and asked puzzledly.
"Hello, Doctor Stephen Strange. I have an appointment to come here for an internship today. Miss Pepper, the CEO of Stark Industries, should have already informed me in advance. You can call me Dio."
Dior gave a very charming smile, trying to leave a good impression on the beautiful woman in front of him.
