In order to create his own modern, portable villa, Fang Mo had a serious discussion with Stark about the principles of the Geochest.
Stark was indeed smart enough to instantly understand the specific principles of this 'magical tool,' which roughly involves spatial transfer functions.
So, he immediately started designing the overall framework. According to the carrying capacity of the Geochest, Stark allocated reasonable positions for each box.
Then, he and Fang Mo exchanged ideas to see what kind of architectural style of villa the other would like.
Fang Mo had no strict requirements in this regard; he just said not to make it too high-tech. Unlike Stark's seaside villa, he was not interested in particularly trendy high-tech products. He just wanted it to feel like a normal home.
Upon hearing this, Stark nodded and delegated the decorating and design work to Jarvis.
As for himself, he made a phone call, purchased a vacant plot of land and some essential construction materials, and even took a large Ark Reactor from the storage room.
Since Fang Mo's house needs to be portable, it can't be connected to external power supplies or any other utility pipelines, whether for natural gas or water, so he mainly dealt with this aspect.
As for Fang Mo, while Stark was working on the portable villa, he also took some random stuff from Steve and started tinkering.
Fang Mo was still studying the Geochest, but unlike the portable villa, he was researching other things at the moment. For example, a portable forge or a portable beacon.
Both concepts are easy to understand. Taking the forge as an example, Fang Mo planned to set up an enchantment altar, iron felt, tool forging station, armor assembly station, mold processing station, part processing station, display cases, mold boxes, and similar items within an 11×11×11 range.
Although he had already tested in Nidavellir and found he couldn't use molten metal and molds to cast Tinkers' parts in reality, it was still feasible to simply coat certain equipment with layers of redstone, layers of obsidian, or add durability or infinity-like enchantments.
So, Fang Mo indeed needed such a small workshop. After all, he couldn't always be pulling out an enchantment altar or a tool forging station from within himself every time he helped someone with enchantments, could he? Although it's not impossible, it feels a bit low-class.
The importance of portable beacons is even greater.
As we all know, beacons can provide various buffs to players.
Speed, urgency, strength, resistance increase, jump enhancement, life recovery.
If Fang Mo creates multiple beacons and then puts them all in a "Geochest," he can just open the box whenever he wants to fight, and instantly get all kinds of buffs.
Easier said than done.
This has always been Fang Mo's way of doing things.
And today is no exception.
Fang Mo first greets Stark and then walks out onto an open area, controlling Steve to dig up a square meter of soil.
He then places the Geochest in the pit and right-clicks to open it.
The moment the Geochest opens, the ground within an 11x11 range disappears instantly.
Steve takes out a set of gold blocks to lay the floor, followed by placing iron mats, enchantment altars, tool forging tables, display cases, and bookshelves, among other things.
But what's worth mentioning is that,
After Fang Mo places the bookshelf,
Once reality triggers, he is surprised to find that these books are actually real.
Fang Mo casually reads a few books. Titles include things like advanced fishing techniques, 108 ways to cook chicken, dictionaries, comic character sketching manuals, parallel world codes, Captain America Rogers biography, disqualified from the underworld, deep tarot card interpretation, and quantum mechanics.
It's hard to say...
There's no logical connection between these books.
Fang Mo thinks this might be due to the triggering of the 'reality' ability. The world rules determined these things as 'bookshelves,' and then randomly pulled some books that exist in this world to put on them.
As for the content?
That doesn't seem to matter...
"Wow."
Fang Mo flips through these books and finds that because of a localization mod, he can understand all the contents, and some of the books are surprisingly interesting.
Fang Mo has awakened the Steve avatar for so long now,
He never thought that the 'reality' ability could still bring him surprises.
Shaking his head, Fang Mo puts the books back on the shelf and starts placing other items.
Aside from the bookshelf, the 'reality' of other items is nothing surprising. Quickly, Fang Mo sets up his little workshop and closes the Geochest.
In an instant, the small workshop disappears.
Replaced by the original piece of land.
Fang Mo doesn't stop, taking out another Geochest to place in the pit.
Opening the Geochest again, removing the original ground, Fang Mo starts laying stone blocks as flooring.
This time, Fang Mo doesn't use gold blocks directly because he plans to use gold as the base for the beacon. If the floor is also made of gold, it would look a bit strange when connected.
Soon, Fang Mo piles up a 9x9 gold base, then a 7x7 second layer, followed by a 5x5 third layer and a 3x3 fourth layer, stacking them to form a pyramid-like gold structure.
And on top of this pyramid, Fang Mo commands Steve to place a beacon.
But what Fang Mo didn't expect was,
The moment Steve places the beacon,
A white light column shoots up to the sky, slowly diffusing above, followed by a strange energy filling the sky and earth. Even ordinary people who know nothing could feel a warm sensation inside.
"Damn, this beacon is pretty awesome."
Seeing this, Fang Mo is also stunned for a moment.
But soon, Fang Mo starts studying the beacon in front of him.
The appearance of this beacon is quite similar to the one in the game, both being block-shaped objects.
Each side of this object is sealed with a layer of transparent glass. Inside the glass is a base made of obsidian, with numerous incomprehensible runes carved into it.
Above the base, a rhombus-shaped silver crystal is slowly floating.
Pure, warm energy continuously emanates from this crystal, bouncing and refracting off the inner walls of the glass, finally converging into a dazzling white light that shoots straight into the sky.
Fang Mo cautiously placed his palm on the glass, feeling the rhythm inside.
Before long, ancient and mysterious knowledge appeared in his mind.
It was about a dimension called the 'Nether,' where a powerful and forbidden undead being was sleeping. Waking and defeating it through an ancient ritual would crystallize its power and life.
This crystal would be brighter than the stars in the sky and could even illuminate the entire Nether.
Thus came the origin of the Nether Star.
After learning this strange knowledge, Fang Mo also gained a vague grasp of how to use this energy.
Unlike the forbidden, death-filled dark power of the Wither, the Nether Star gave off a warm feeling.
It seemed like a source of white magic that could enhance human strength, physical fitness, heal pain, and even affect or interfere with souls, resisting all external harm.
The shell of the beacon seemed more like a catalyst made of runes.
It could activate the inert energy inside the Nether Star, blessing most creatures in a particular area with this energy.
Of course, because this is reality, the beacon's output is entirely different from the game.
It could give a very small range of people god-like powers or extend its influence to make countless ordinary people healthier and less prone to illness.
As for the limit of this range...
If a base as magnificent as a pyramid could be constructed for the beacon, it would turn into a massive energy amplifier, eventually covering a quarter of the Earth.
Frankly, even Fang Mo himself was stunned by this.
"Damn, this is amazing?" Fang Mo looked at the beacon in front of him, somewhat astonished.
As a game boss, the Wither doesn't have a great reputation among Minecraft players.
Take Fang Mo, for instance. After summoning the Wither, Steve could kill it in less than ten seconds, counting its invincibility time.
Without invincibility, a max-level Wither-killing broadsword could kill one in a second.
In the mod "Avaritia," the number of Nether Stars needed is calculated by the group. Fang Mo had killed so many Withers while playing with his teammate that he was numb to it. Therefore, he never took the beacon and the Nether Star seriously.
But after being actualized into reality...
It turned out to be pretty damn powerful.
"..."
Staring at the beacon in front of him, Fang Mo's thoughts began to race.
If the Nether Star was actualized, it would essentially turn a dimension lord into a battery. If he could figure out how to use this energy, then filling up his storage space with Nether Stars would make him invincible, wouldn't it?
Excited by this thought, Fang Mo was about to perform further tests when suddenly, sparks appeared in the nearby space, followed by the opening of a circular portal.
Ancient One walked straight out of it.
She first looked at the continuously glowing beacon on the ground, then at Fang Mo, and fell into a brief silence.
After a long while, Ancient One finally spoke.
"So, which dim-witted dimensional demon god has offended you this time?"
