Even though Fang Mo played Minecraft for a very long time.
He is not some kind of living, breathing Minecraft encyclopedia, so it's normal for him to be unclear about certain things.
Like this statue of Nyarlathotep, for instance.
Fang Mo only vaguely remembers that it might be an item from the AbyssalCraft mod, or possibly from some other Cthulhu-themed mod, but what exactly is it used for? Fang Mo has forgotten, but it seems like it might just be a decorative item.
After all, in Cthulhu-themed mods, it's quite normal to have eldritch statues for decoration, right?
And as for the other chemical X...
Fang Mo really has no recollection of it. He only remembers watching Powerpuff Girls with his sister, where they mentioned something about chemical X, so this can't possibly be a Powerpuff Girls mod, right? Fang Mo has never heard of such a mod.
Minecraft's inclusivity is indeed strong, even having a My Little Pony expansion mod.
But he really hasn't heard of a Powerpuff Girls mod...
"Alright, I'm content, at least it's not a GregTech bronze gear."
Fang Mo rubbed his temples, then sorted out these seventeen items. As usual, some were to be materialized in reality, and others left for Steve to use in the Minecraft world.
Among them, flesh, curse-wave cleaning sponges, toilets, toilet paper, and a universal neutron element compressor obviously can't be materialized.
The curse-wave cleaning sponge is a created item, which could be very useful if the Mystical Age is unlocked later. Mom won't have to worry about Fang Mo making soup all day, and the universal neutron element compressor is the only way to create singularities.
The rest, like flesh, toilets, and toilet paper, are useless in the real world.
Does Fang Mo really need another toilet now?
When he wants to relieve himself, he does it openly on planet Ego, turning the god Ego into his own personal toilet. Isn't that more awesome than a golden toilet?
Apart from the items mentioned above.
Fang Mo plans to take the opportunity to materialize the rest of the items for experiments.
Actually, the 'Botania' theoretically could be kept, but the problem is Fang Mo hasn't unlocked the plant magic mod, and he can't create a mana storage pool either, so what's the use of keeping a 'Botania' that produces mana?
And with the precedent of equivalent exchange, this 'Botania' might not even be able to produce mana if left in the Minecraft world.
After all, the concept of 'mana' might not even exist in the Minecraft world.
Because there are only seventeen items.
So quickly, Fang Mo categorized them.
But just as Fang Mo had finished categorizing and was about to pick an item for materialization research, suddenly there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it now?"
Hearing the knock, Fang Mo was a bit puzzled. Thor had just finished partying on Earth, so he probably wouldn't be looking for a drink. Heimdall had to guard the Bifrost Bridge and wouldn't come to him without a serious reason.
Could it be the goddess Frigga?
This late at night... isn't that a bit inappropriate?
Fang Mo, puzzled, walked to the door and gently opened it, only to find Odin in casual clothes standing outside.
"Hi, it's you."
Seeing this, Fang Mo let out a sigh of relief and invited him in: "Come in, sit down. What brought you here this late?"
"I heard from Thor that you've already collected five Infinity Stones."
Odin didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight in: "You must only be missing the Soul Stone now, right?"
"It's not that I have no clue."
Fang Mo closed the door, walked back to the sofa, then took out a pot of tea from the storage space and poured a cup for both Odin and himself: "The Soul Stone is simply about exchanging souls for souls. In theory, it forces you to sacrifice someone you love, but this thing also has its bugs. For instance, having someone else get it first, then I could just take it from them…"
"So, you're planning to lure Thanos to get the Soul Stone?" Odin asked, sipping his tea.
"Not exactly. His loved one is trapped on Earth by me. He probably can't get it even if he wants to," Fang Mo explained. "I'm just playing for now… I went to collect the Power Stone before, and it was like walking a dog, being led around the galaxy. Now I'm a bit sick of it and don't want to collect the stones for the time being. Whoever wants to go to Vormir can take it. I'll just steal it later. If no one wants to, I'll wait until I feel like it again."
"Our goals are different. I believe you can achieve your wish," Odin remarked with a sigh. "I backed down for love… and even created irreconcilable conflicts and distances with my own daughter. But you're different. You're collecting the stones for your loved ones and family. If possible, I'd love to see you fulfill your wish."
"Then just come and see. I'm not charging you an entrance fee," Fang Mo shrugged.
"It's not about the entrance fee," Odin shook his head, calmly saying, "I'm about to die."
"Oh, right, your time is indeed coming," Fang Mo nodded, realizing the situation. It was already the time of 'Avengers: Age of Ultron.' The next big events should be 'Civil War,' followed by 'Doctor Strange'… The Ancient One will die first, and then in 'Thor: Ragnarok,' Odin turns to dust at the start.
Actually, according to the comic setting, the people of Asgard seem to grow stronger with age. The divine power in their bodies increases over time, eventually leading to their death.
But that's just a comic setting. In the current movie universe, there's no evidence to support this.
Instead, in the first 'Thor' movie, the Frost Giant King Laufey even mocks Odin for having weakened with age. So, Fang Mo suspects that in the movie universe, the Asgardians don't have this feature. They are just a race of powerful aliens who age and die like others.
"No worries, don't panic."
Thinking this, Fang Mo took out an enchanted golden apple and offered it to Odin: "Eat this first, a fruit for prolonging life…"
"That's not what I mean," Odin's expression was unusually calm, not taking the enchanted apple from Fang Mo. "I've done many wrong things in my life. Now, I want to do one thing right. I'm here not to seek a way to continue living, but to ask you for a favor, not as the King of Asgard, but as an ordinary father."
"What's that?" Fang Mo asked.
"For Thor, he has a long way to go and a lot to learn. But I'm not worried about him."
Odin's expression was complex: "But... Loki, I owe this child too much, and I don't want to make it difficult for you. Just save him once when his life is in danger, or you could try to be friends with him. He's never really had a true friend."
"Not that, can't you just live well..."
"As a price, I can give you my divine power."
Before Fang Mo could finish, Odin summoned the Gungnir spear: "I will infuse all my divine power into this weapon before I die, and set a curse on it. Afterward, this divine spear will be yours to use."
"Why do you guys all think about dying?"
Fang Mo also felt a headache after hearing this: "It's not that I don't want to agree, but you guys are too rash. I just killed Ego, and now you're seeking death. Later, I'll have to kill Thanos... So I am the leader of the 'Worried Fathers Alliance'? Specializing in killing kind fathers? Isn't this efficiency too high?"
"I am just following the guidance of my ancestors."
Odin slowly shook his head: "I will die a natural death, so you need not be sad or change anything. Our Northern deities, after a glorious death, will have their souls return to the Hall of Valhalla."
"If Thor knew..."
"This is also one of Thor's tests."
Odin said: "All this hardship and pain will make him a more qualified God King, a wise ruler. He is more suitable to rule Asgard than I am. And the palace is destined to have only one God King. If I were to consume your otherworldly gifts and gain an immensely long life, then his soul as the God King would never awaken..."
"Alright, fine."
Hearing this, Fang Mo knew Odin had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading him: "Anyway, I have to organize a funeral for the Ancient One soon. After I practice a bit more, I'll organize one for you too. Now that I have all five Infinity Stones, I can make the Nine Realms mourn and all tribes grieve..."
"...That's not necessary."
Odin couldn't help but say: "I'll just find a place in Midgard, Norway..."
"Who's dying, you or me?"
Fang Mo directly said: "If you don't want to die, eat the fruit yourself. If you want to die, just listen to my arrangement. It's us who will attend your funeral, not you."
"..."
Odin was silent for a moment, but soon he let out a helpless smile: "…Thank you, god from another world."
"Okay, okay, stop with the sentimental stuff, go back to accompany the queen of the gods."
Fang Mo waved his hand in dissatisfaction and said, "I am giving the order to leave, hurry up and go back. Don't you know that every glance at this costs you one less?"
"Well then, I shall take my leave now."
Odin nodded, then turned around and left Fang Mo's residence.
After Odin left.
Fang Mo sighed. He had originally planned to research a reality manifestation experiment, but the interruption from the other party left him with no mood to continue.
As everyone knows.
Emotions can be transferred to others.
Fang Mo thought for a while and decided to find a lucky "friend" to trouble. He took out his phone, opened the contacts list, closed his eyes, and randomly selected one. Soon, Fang Mo locked onto an unlucky victim.
"Tony Stark."
Fang Mo thoughtfully stroked his chin: "Hmm, it's decided then... it's you."
