Fang Mo is a doer. Instead of just talking, he prefers to take action and get his hands dirty.
So, the next day, he decided to dive into studying the auto farming devices in Minecraft.
Auto farming is a technique where players use specific features in the game to build structures that continuously spawn and kill monsters, allowing them to collect a large amount of resources.
For example, one of the simplest structures for generating electricity is the zombie pigman tower. When built in the Nether, it spawns a large number of zombie pigmen. These pigmen are then gathered and killed in batches to collect their drops, including gold nuggets.
To Fang Mo, even the rotten flesh dropped by the pigmen is valuable.
In the Carpenter's Blocks mod, there is an item called a drying rack that can convert rotten flesh into dried rotten flesh through a drying process. Consuming dried rotten flesh doesn't cause hunger, and since it's considered a food item in the Carpenter's Blocks mod, it bypasses certain control systems and restores hunger bars more effectively than baked potatoes.
Fang Mo spent a significant amount of time understanding these features and mechanics in his Minecraft world, which lacks some specific version concepts.
However, Fang Mo faced a challenge with the Grimoire of Gaia mod. The mob spawning tower not only spawned zombie pigmen but also frequently spawned powerful creatures like Baphomet, Wither Cows, and Succubus.
Dealing with these mobs became a headache for Fang Mo.
Some of these creatures could attack from a distance and disrupt the normal operation of the mob spawner.
But Fang Mo was patient and determined. He gradually improved the mob spawners, finding ways to counter the disruptions caused by the powerful creatures.
When he took breaks from working on the mob spawner, Fang Mo would return to the main world to mine, study the Carpenter's Blocks mod, or go fishing. These activities helped alleviate his loneliness and provided him with a well-deserved meal.
Fang Mo also had a special bond with his dogs and ocelots.
Although he couldn't bring them to life in the Minecraft world, he named each of his dogs using name tags. The names he chose were inspired by his friends on the server, making it feel as though they were always by his side.
Fang Mo also named his ocelots and took care of them with love and care.
His time in the Minecraft world felt incredibly immersive, almost making him forget that he was not actually Steve, the player character.
Fang Mo explored different mods and discovered new things. For example, he brought back rubber seeds from the Industrial Age mod and tried his hand at making wooden faucets. He also found fruit trees in the Pam's HarvestCraft mod and created his own tree farm by hanging unripe fruits on the trees.
Whenever Fang Mo wanted to eat fruit, he simply used bone meal on the unripe fruits, and a mature fruit would drop from the tree. The unripe fruits remained intact, defying the laws of physics in the Minecraft world.
Although Fang Mo didn't have access to crafting recipes for certain mods like "Avaritia" or "Industrial Age," he made significant progress in his understanding and mastery of the mod "Tinker's Construct."
He crafted numerous weapons and tools, expanding his arsenal and abilities.
During his adventures in Asgard, he unlocked a mod called "Tinker's Artisan" and gained access to a wide variety of weapons in Tinker's Construct.
Apart from traditional melee weapons, he even discovered unconventional items like wands and laser guns on the Tinker's Construct forging table. However, he faced a challenge with operating laser guns as they required external assistance and energy.
Fang Mo hoped to explore worlds outside the Marvel universe in the future, where he could find a mod that provides crafting recipes and information for such advanced technology.
Among all the weapons available in Tinker's Construct, Fang Mo found several items that intrigued him, including the dagger, broadsword, and rapier.
The dagger, in particular, caught his attention. It could be thrown for ranged attacks, making it highly useful in combat. Although the official release of Tinker's Construct 2 removed the ability to throw the dagger, Fang Mo's version of the mod still allowed him to enjoy this cool feature.
As for long-range attacks, Fang Mo's arsenal was lacking. However, the thrown dagger's attack was considered melee damage, and Tinker's Construct added a life-stealing attribute to melee weapons. This meant that Fang Mo could steal life from monsters even at a distance, making the dagger even more appealing.
Who wouldn't love a life-stealing throwing knife?
In addition to the dagger, Fang Mo also has a fondness for the rapier.
Its appearance is reminiscent of the weapon used by the Blade Dancer in League of Legends, resembling an enlarged nail or needle. However, its unique characteristic lies in its ability to penetrate armor and cause true damage.
For example, a long sword made of iron would never be able to harm Thanos, but an iron rapier can. It can bypass the hardness of Thanos' skin and armor, piercing into his body.
Of course, if the opponent possesses a force field shield or something similar, that's a different story, as it is unrelated to defense.
Fang Mo also possesses another weapon in his arsenal - the broadsword from Tinker's Artisan, which happens to be his favorite.
The broadsword has an even larger model than the original version, making it a truly massive sword. It possesses the unique ability to inflict not only normal damage but also a percentage of maximum health damage on enemies, making it a formidable weapon against bosses. The broadsword represents the characteristics of a heavy sword without a sharp edge, yet showcases remarkable craftsmanship.
Taking realism into consideration, Fang Mo decided to craft two broadswords. Both were created with a Nihilite core, Cobalt handles, and blades made of a combination of Manyullyn and Imperomite.
The Nihilite core provides the attribute of Soul Eater, increasing the sword's attack power based on the number of creatures killed. The Cobalt handle allows for a faster swing speed, while the Manyullyn blade boosts the user's courage and inflicts higher damage the longer they fight. Lastly, the Imperomite blade can influence and even erase the thoughts and souls of living entities.
To enhance their power, Fang Mo also enchanted five durable plates, giving these two swords the attribute of indestructibility.
Through countless battles and slaying of Zombie Pigmen, the Soul Eater attribute of Fang Mo's swords became stronger and stronger. Now, only some top-tier monsters from the Grimoire of Gaia can withstand the might of his sword. (Soul Eater - Every kill using this tool adds ~+0.0375 damage to the tool. THERE IS NO LIMIT. I gave up at ~40,000 kills with ~+1,500 damage source: internet)
Suddenly, Steve surprised Fang Mo with a brand new golden-skinned book.
"Hmm? What's this...?" Fang Mo looked astonished at the golden-skinned book Steve brought back. Unlike the book that allowed him to cross over to the Marvel universe, this one had a series of English words written on it, saying 'X-Men.'
Fortunately, Fang Mo had already downloaded a Chinese translation mod, so he understood the meaning of these words.
"X-Men?"
Fang Mo stared at the golden-skinned book, and various related images flashed through his mind.
Although the X-Men could be considered part of the Marvel universe, they had their own separate storylines in the movie universe. So it was plausible for a book like this to exist on its own.
"It seems... possible..." Fang Mo's lips moved a little dryly.
He had been in the Minecraft world for too long. While Fang Mo had chosen to adapt to the feeling of solitude as quickly as possible, a new world was now right in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel tempted.
Fang Mo remembered the words he had said to the Ancient One.
"It seems... It's time to have some fun..."
With this thought, Fang Mo immediately controlled Steve to organize his belongings, packing up the essence berries and the Ender Hand.
This time, organizing his items didn't take long.
Soon, Steve stuffed everything into his backpack, then he picked up the brand new Book of Ages and right-clicked to open it.
In the next moment, Fang Mo opened his arms and embraced the endless black mist that poured out of the book.
A brief sense of weightlessness followed, and soon there were noisy voices all around. Fang Mo opened his eyes and looked around, only to find himself surrounded by a crowd of people in tattered clothes. They huddled together, trembling with fear and anxiety evident in their expressions.
"Huh?"
Seeing this scene, Fang Mo was also taken aback.
This was the first time he had encountered so many people directly after crossing over.
Fang Mo glanced around and realized that he was in a very cramped and gloomy space. The walls around him resembled steel, which left him a little confused. He couldn't recall the X-Men world having a place like this.
Could it be a smuggling ship or something?
After contemplating for a moment, Fang Mo decided to ask directly.
He approached a middle-aged man who was trembling and attempted to show a friendly smile, asking, "Um, excuse me, may I know where this is?"
The man looked at him nervously and then spoke the name of a place.
"Auschwitz…"
