When Fang Mo opened his eyes again, he found himself back on the bed in his main world.
"Back again, huh?" Fang Mo looked up at the glass skylight above him and let out a sigh without thinking.
But soon, as if he remembered something, he suddenly slapped his forehead, "Damn it, I was too hasty, I forgot to leave a golden toilet for Charles!"
However, it was already too late to mention it now.
The Book of Ages would randomly send Fang Mo to a major event in history.
If he were to flip the book and go back again at this moment, he might end up many decades later, and Charles could have transformed from James McAvoy into someone else like Patrick Stewart.
"Oh well, I'll mention it next time." Fang Mo shook his head, silently reminding himself to add "golden toilet for Charles" to his to-do list, so he wouldn't forget it next time.
After noting this down, Fang Mo slowly sat up on the bed and then walked outside to survey his territory.
Since he didn't have any means to activate chunks like the world anchor, everything remained the same as he left it.
Even the crops he harvested before had not regrown.
There were only young shoots of crops in the fields.
Fang Mo controlled Steve to return to the warehouse and tidied up the miscellaneous items he had with him, clearing out the alchemy bag and his backpack.
After that, Steve quietly picked up some tools and walked into the mine.
In fact, this had become a regular routine every time Fang Mo returned.
Steve would go underground to mine, while Fang Mo would sort out the new modules he had unlocked and see which ones he could utilize.
This time, when Fang Mo entered the X-Men world, he didn't unlock many modules.
Bamboo, Customized Steve, and Nuclear Engineering were the only ones.
Nuclear Engineering was definitely the first to be ruled out; it was too complex. Back when Fang Mo played on the server, even his partner, Xiao Yao, cursed and complained while dealing with this module. Besides, it seemed to involve radiation and other complexities, which Fang Mo definitely didn't want to touch.
As for Customized Steve, this module didn't require any research at all; it was just a reskinned tool.
Now, let's talk about the Bamboo module.
Fang Mo did have some impressions of it.
It seemed to be a decorative and lifestyle module.
It was not difficult, and some of the items in it were quite useful and suitable for him.
If Fang Mo remembered correctly, there was something called a Drawer in the Bamboo module, which only occupied one block but had a capacity similar to a large wooden crate. Meanwhile, bamboo in the module could be burned into bamboo charcoal, and bamboo grew quickly, which was much more useful than chopping trees to make charcoal.
In addition, there seemed to be a useful tool called a Stone Mill in the Bamboo module.
This device could grind wheat and rice, increase the production of blaze powder and bone meal, or grind cobblestone into gravel and sand.
Although other industrial modules had similar functionalities, such as grinding machines and pulverizers, Fang Mo didn't know how to create them and they also required energy to operate, making them less convenient than the Stone Mill.
Thinking of this, Fang Mo decided to study the Bamboo module thoroughly.
Although he really didn't like the workbench, he had a moment of enlightenment before, and he realized many things.
He tried to restrain his irritable emotions, increase his patience, and become calmer.
Now, he wouldn't lose control over trivial matters and erupt like an active volcano, only thinking about pulling his partner over. After all, that would be too selfish.
However, to say that Fang Mo didn't miss his home and his partner at all would be impossible.
But... well, how should he put it?
People had to experience ups and downs in life and learn to grow.
So, when Steve returned home with a bunch of minerals, Fang Mo immediately started researching the Bamboo module.
Since it was the Bamboo module, everything naturally revolved around the concept of "bamboo."
Thanks to the help of his friend, Fang Mo did have some understanding of this module.
After loading the Bamboo module, Minecraft's main world would introduce a plant called "Bamboo." This plant only grew into bamboo under artificial light and spread around, continuously proliferating.
It's worth mentioning that only a hoe could fully harvest bamboo.
So Fang Mo made a bunch of hoes and sent Steve out of the house to collect bamboo.
Fortunately, the Minecraft world Fang Mo was in was different from the game. As long as new modules were loaded, the entire world would change, instead of only generating new module-related things in the unloaded chunks, as it was in the game.
After wandering around for a while, Steve found many bamboo shoots on a hilltop and started harvesting them, taking all the bamboo shoots on the entire hilltop.
Fang Mo then separately opened a platform around his house to plant bamboo.
He casually placed the bamboo shoots on grass blocks and inserted some torches. Then, he just had to wait for the bamboo shoots to grow into bamboo.
During the waiting time, Fang Mo wasn't idle; he also studied some large-scale technology-related modules.
For example, Thermal Expansion and Industrial Age.
However, without the recipes, Fang Mo's progress was indeed very slow.
In Thermal Expansion, he first tried to make several metal gears according to his memory, then tried for a long time to combine glass, iron, and gears to make something called a Machine Frame.
But he couldn't figure out how the Machine Frame could be turned into a machine.
He had heard about technology modules from his partner before, such as how most modules' grinding machines required flint, and so on.
But what else was needed besides flint? This was Fang Mo's knowledge gap.
So he temporarily gave up on Thermal Expansion and turned his attention to the Industrial Age module.
This module had existed since ancient times, and Fang Mo had also heard of it, especially when accompanying his partner to build reactors and arrays, he couldn't help but remember some material names, such as circuit boards and mechanical casings.
Moreover, every time he played with her, he would always hear her complain.
She would say things like the creator of the Industrial Age learned bad things from the Creator of GregTech, and she had to smash the board and cut the wire for no reason.
Fang Mo recalled for a moment, fiddled with the workbench for a while, and unexpectedly figured out how to make a Pulverizer. Using the same method to deduce and explore, he also figured out the recipes for the Compressor and Extractor.
However, when Fang Mo wanted to make an Electric Furnace, it seemed like his luck had run out. No matter how he arranged the stone furnace, redstone, or cobblestone, he couldn't find the recipe for the Electric Furnace.
So he gave up and decided to study the generator's recipe instead.
He vaguely remembered that the generator required a battery and some other things.
But honestly, Fang Mo didn't even know how to make a battery, let alone other complex items, so it was too difficult.
After several days of unsuccessful research, Fang Mo felt his headache returning. To prevent his emotions from becoming irritable again, he decisively put aside his study of the technology modules and turned to read the Tinker Construct Codex while harvesting another round of bamboo.
Compared to the complexity of the Industrial Age module's crafting items, the Bamboo module was clearly much simpler.
Fang Mo put the bamboo into the workbench and tried it out.
As a result, placing three bamboo horizontally created paper, placing four together created bamboo blocks, separating them created bamboo baskets, arranging three in a V-shape created bamboo bowls, and arranging six created bamboo fences. Placing two vertically created sticks.
This was too user-friendly!
Fang Mo even accidentally discovered a recipe from the Bamboo module.
Of course, this was purely coincidental; he happened to have several books he wanted to enchant, and he absentmindedly placed them on the Tool Station in the Codex. However, there happened to be a piece of bamboo on it, and the recipe appeared inexplicably.
This really delighted Fang Mo.
This was his third tutorial book other than the Tinker' Construct Codex and the Tinker' Construct Armor Codex.
"Reading books brings me joy~"
Fang Mo was in a great mood, holding the book and reading it with relish.
Of course, Steve wasn't idle either; he continued to mine, slaughter animals, harvest crops, and burn a bunch of bamboo charcoal.
Time passed quickly.
When Fang Mo's crops overflowed again.
He had thoroughly researched some items in the Bamboo module.
The recipes for the Stone Mill and the Drawer were straightforward, and Fang Mo quickly made them. After that, he also figured out how to make something called a "Fireplace" in the Bamboo module.
This thing was somewhat similar to Pam's kitchen.
Many food recipes in the Bamboo module required this thing.
But its synthesis method was quite unique. Fang Mo could think of things like charcoal, flint, and bamboo baskets, but iron bars, who could have thought of that?
Fortunately, Fang Mo had the Cooking tutorial book from the Bamboo module; otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to figure it out.
It must be said that reading books indeed made people stronger.
In addition to the cooking recipes in the Bamboo module, Fang Mo also unexpectedly found several unique traits in the Codex.
Such as Brown's Magic, Honest Gentleman, and even the Book of Revelation, which instantly made his monotonous life full of fun again.
So he decided to delve into them thoroughly.
