It must be said, Taneleer Tivan's efficiency is indeed high.
Fang Mo left here not long ago, and surprisingly, the Dark Star has already been taken care of by the Tivan Group.
Moreover, the most amazing part is that the Dark Star is not merely repaired; according to Tivan himself, he has also upgraded and optimized this battleship to a certain extent, eliminating the small necromantic fleet that was like flies and instead upgraded the armor and power transmission system.
The appearance of the Dark Star hasn't changed much currently.
But under Tivan's introduction, everyone found that there have indeed been many changes inside the battleship.
Previously, when Ronan was piloting this spaceship, many areas here were using the bio-technology of the Kree civilization, such as the area responsible for piloting the ship, where there were always a few necromantic soldiers lying there pulling the power balls.
But now it's different.
Tivan has transformed the Dark Star's power system into a semi-intelligent one.
That is, things like traditional holographic images, buttons, and semi-transparent operating screens.
Fang Mo didn't feel much about it; to be honest, he couldn't pilot a spaceship anyway. If he had to pilot, he probably would just use the gravity field of the void ring to pull the hull forward.
However, Rocket Raccoon really likes this new operating system; it seems very exciting.
In addition to this, there is also the energy system.
Before, the Dark Star used the most traditional nuclear elements and standard galactic spaceship liquid fuel, but the problem is that the Dark Star is too big, currently only second to Thanos' Sanctuary II. The amount of fuel such a large mothership needs is astronomical.
Considering Fang Mo has the Infinity Stones.
So, Tivan thought about it and simply commanded his subordinates to add a new power system to this ship, which can be directly powered by the Infinity Stones or other miscellaneous things.
That's really cool.
Fang Mo tried the power system a bit and found that it can not only use the stones for power but also compatible with electrical energy and the Light of Ego.
Even the NetherStar or Tailed Beast Chakra can barely be compatible.
It seems Tivan really has some skills, knowing that Fang Mo has a lot of things that can provide energy, so he specially created this highly compatible power system for him.
Of course, he obviously has his own ulterior motives.
"Hehe, Master Mage..."
After introducing the specific modifications of the Dark Star, Tivan also rubbed his hands expectantly, showing a sly smile: "This battleship was not easy to modify, its left wing was completely blown up by you, and it took twelve Titan-class docks of my subordinates working together to repair it so quickly..."
"What now?"
Fang Mo looked at Tivan and saw through his thoughts: "Have you finished all the cosmic meatballs?"
"Not at all, Master Mage." Tivan cleverly flattered: "Not to hide from you, Master Mage, I have lived too long... I have tasted all kinds of food in this universe, but the thing you sent me last time was truly wonderfully unique, a taste I have never experienced before."
"So..."
"Of course, Master Mage."
Before Fang Mo could finish speaking, Tivan immediately spoke up again: "If you have other foods I haven't tried, that's fine too. I seem to have rekindled my interest in gourmet food recently. It seems that in addition to collecting... tasting unknown foods is also an interesting experience."
"Food you haven't eaten?"
Hearing Tivan's words, Fang Mo also subconsciously nodded.
He pondered for a moment and then, with a thought, took several foods from Steve's hands and handed them to Tivan: "Take these and eat, don't be shy."
Tivan became excited at this scene.
He had only intended to make a small request, but it happened to coincide with Fang Mo in a good mood, and he actually got a bunch of food he had never seen before.
So, he quickly took out an instrument to preserve these foods.
"Master Mage, these are all...?"
Tivan swallowed, looking forward to Fang Mo's explanation.
"Oh, these."
Fang Mo smiled and began to introduce: "This is monster pan-fried dumplings, this is spider eye pie, and this is underworld grilled wings..."
"What about these two?"
Tivan curiously looked at a brown-red soup bowl and a small plate of rainbow-colored substance that clearly didn't look like food.
"These two are amazing, let me tell you."
Hearing Tivan's question, Fang Mo immediately showed a pleased smile and pointed to the small plate of rainbow-colored substance: "This is called Epic Bacon, or you can call it 'Rainbow Dazzling Spicy Strip from the school side ten years ago', made with seven kinds of natural dyes... When you encounter a rainbow, you conquer the rainbow!"
"Uh..."
Tivan blinked confusedly: "And the other one?"
"This one is even more amazing." Fang Mo picked up the wooden bowl and shook it a bit, the reddish-brown mysterious soup spread out, and the bottom of the bowl kept making a 'sloshing' sound: "This is Miner's Mishmash."
"Miner's Mishmash... what is that?"
Tivan said confusedly.
"It's literal," Fang Mo explained while holding a wooden bowl: "This dish originated from the miners in Minecraft. Initially, it was because the miners were hungry underground, so they dumped everything in their backpacks into a pot to cook and eat. Surprisingly, it turned out to be exceptionally delicious and has been passed down ever since."
"And its ingredients…"
"Very simple, iron, gold, coal, lapis lazuli, flint, diamond, redstone, rotten flesh, plus a pot," Fang Mo gave a thumbs up and praised, "It can quickly replenish a large amount of 'mineral' quality. It's a rare and delicious stew called mineral stew, although there's not a single vegetable in it!"
"This… Master Mage…"
Tivan hesitated for a moment, looking at the bowl of soup, then said timidly, "If you are unsatisfied with something about the Dark Star, you can just tell me..."
"I'm quite satisfied with it."
Fang Mo looked at Tivan strangely, "Why would I feed it to you if I'm not satisfied? Am I sick?"
"But this thing… It clearly doesn't seem edible, right?"
Tivan weakly retorted.
"So this thing can't be eaten?" Hearing this, Fang Mo directly took out a silvery white rhombus crystal from his pocket: "Then I ask you, can this be eaten?"
Saying this, Fang Mo directly hit a nearby metal plate twice with the Nether Star in his hand.
The Nether Star made a clanking sound against the plate.
"Such a perfect collectible..."
Seeing the Nether Star, the collector's eyes lit up, his old habits kicking in: "This must be the energy core of some dimension, right? Look at the pure luster, it's so beautiful."
"I'm asking you, can this be eaten?"
Fang Mo asked again.
"This thing certainly can't be eaten," Tivan immediately said, "Its hardness is probably higher than diamonds..."
"Come on, today I'll perform a trick called 'sandwiching the nether star between slices of bread,'" Fang Mo interrupted Tivan, casually stuffing the nether star back into his body, then took two square pieces of strange toast from Steve's hand.
"See, this is a nether star as well, right?"
Fang Mo opened the two pieces of toast to show that, in addition to a layer of thin butter, there was also a silvery-white, prismatic crystal sandwiched between them, obviously another nether star, identical to the one he had just stored away.
However, to Tivan's amazement, Fang Mo suddenly took a big bite, crunching down so that the toast and the nether star inside were bitten off in a large chunk.
"This...this..."
Witnessing this scene, Tivan seemed to have his worldview shattered, "How is this possible!?"
But unexpectedly to him, Fang Mo started chewing crunchily, even showing an expression of enjoyment, "See? Buttered bread sandwiching a nether star, after eating it, I'll go running to the Capital..."
Fang Mo wasn't eating recklessly.
In fact, all of this was authentic Pam's Harvestcraft cuisine he had made while bored, flipping through recipes with Steve—spider eye pie, nether wings, mineral stew, epic bacon, and now this star-studded toast. These were all real dishes from Pam's Harvestcraft mod, not something Fang Mo randomly invented.
However, after making these foods, Fang Mo just casually stuffed them into Steve's oversized backpack.
It was only because Tivan was pestering him to eat something today.
Otherwise, Fang Mo might not even remember these dishes.
But unexpectedly to Fang Mo, this star-studded toast was surprisingly delicious.
The nether star itself is tasteless and its crystal structure is extremely dense and hard, almost impossible to destroy with external force. However, for some reason, once sandwiched in bread and buttered, its properties suddenly changed.
As Fang Mo chewed on the nether star's crystal fragments in his mouth, he felt it was somewhat like sesame candy or almond crisps. Combined with the rich, milky butter and the soft, delicious bread, it was unexpectedly tasty, even addictive.
Moreover, after swallowing it, he felt a strange sense of connection.
It was as if a door inside him had opened, and Fang Mo vaguely felt that he had established some kind of connection with the nether, able to continuously draw power from that world.
"...?"
Even Fang Mo himself was stunned for a moment.
But soon he bit into another star-studded toast.
As the toast settled in his stomach, Fang Mo felt as if the 'gate' within him had expanded slightly, allowing him to mobilize more energy from the lower realms.
Upon realizing this,
A sense of clarity rose in Fang Mo's heart.
Essentially, the beacon power within him also draws energy from the lower realms. Now that he has eaten the star-studded toast, it's as if he has become a beacon himself, which is obviously much more convenient than a literal beacon.
After all, a beacon requires a massive amount of resources to build its base.
But this star-studded toast is different; all he has to do is mindlessly devour the stars of the lower realm, right?
"Good fellow."
After figuring this out, Fang Mo couldn't hold back anymore. He turned his head and said to the completely astonished Tivan beside him, "From now on, don't call me Master Mage anymore, please refer to me as Sir 'Star Devourer'…"
