"Is this One Punch Man?"
Fang Mo, upon seeing this, seemed a bit incredulous as well: "No way, right?"
Fang Mo was actually quite familiar with the One Punch Man franchise, which, like other anime, differed from series that torment their protagonists like Chainsaw Man or Re:Zero.
The protagonist of this anime is essentially invincible, as if unbeatable with a face.
The so-called "One Punch Man" actually refers to the anime's main character, Saitama.
Originally an ordinary office worker, Saitama became a hero after witnessing a monster attacking a child, reminding him of his childhood dream. So, he trained rigorously until he became inexplicably invincible, defeating all enemies with a single punch, which felt somewhat sudden.
However, this anime is somewhat controversial.
Because it actually has two versions: the first is a webcomic version created by the original author, ONE, which due to its freer drawing style compared to Fujimoto Itsuki, led to the production of a second version.
This is the remake version illustrated by Murata after discussions with ONE.
The remake features stunningly beautiful artwork and impressive expressiveness, naturally receiving a lot of praise.
The problem is... there are many conflicting settings between these two versions, for example, in the original version, Saitama's combat power is unparalleled, embodying the feeling that with one punch, all storms cease, and there are no gods over the seas. No matter how strong the enemy, they're defeated with a single punch, which is why the work is named One Punch Man.
However, the remade version introduced some strange settings later on, leading to a decrease in Saitama's prestige and intelligence, which became a point of criticism among many netizens.
"So the question arises..."
Fang Mo, looking at the Epoch Book inside the crate, wondered: "Which version of One Punch Man is this?"
"It would be best if it's ONE's version, but the remade version is surprisingly suitable for causing some mischief."
Fang Mo stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face: "I feel like I would get along well with Superalloy Darkshine... cough cough, Superalloy Black Light."
He reminisced about parts of the One Punch Man storyline.
Fang Mo seemed a bit excited.
When he was killed by a truck, the anime hadn't finished airing, and he had only watched up to near the end of the Garou arc in the remake.
As for ONE's version, it seemed to have just reached the Machine God arc, but was still in the setup phase.
"Damn, I kind of want to go..."
Fang Mo swallowed his saliva, his mind already filled with a bunch of ideas, such as sparring with Atomic Samurai and the loser has to change their name to Benzi Samurai, using a 1.3 meter long indestructible black rubber Benzi to perform Benzi Slash on monsters, nobly called slashing the body with the blade and the soul with Benzi.
He could also make an infinite-use cast-iron skillet for Pig God, named... um, Pig's Nemesis.
Besides, Fang Mo wanted to introduce a priest to Child Emperor or repackage Puri-Puri Prisoner, casually throwing a gold bar to Sweet Mask's company to transform Puri-Puri Prisoner into the Bulgarian Demon King, letting the whole world know what true terror... uh, sexiness is.
When it comes time to fight with the Deep Sea King and suddenly speak out, "I've already fallen for the old man at the door, and things like Billy's mom going nuts over eggs."
(TL: no clue)
Wouldn't the Deep Sea King have to kneel down and commit suicide after hearing this?
Of course, if you ask what Fang Mo really wants to do, it would be to check whether Tornado is really vacuum-packed or try sprinkling bone powder on Saitama's head or something... Speaking of which, Teacher Saitama has a pretty good temperament. If Fang Mo claims to be human, then he wouldn't just come at him with a punch, would he?
Honestly.
Just thinking about the tasks mentioned above.
Fang Mo is already feeling a bit out of control.
Under normal circumstances, he would have gone straight to it without a second thought, but now, he really can't delay things with Marvel. After all, this wish... it's something Fang Mo has been longing for a long time.
If the wish comes true, maybe he could take his family on a world tour in the One Punch world.
Of course, the possibility of failure is not ruled out.
When that time comes... just go find Teacher Saitama and have a fight.
"Phew, I hope everything goes well."
Fang Mo took a deep breath and then controlled Steve to continue exploring Omothol.
After wandering around here for a few hours, Fang Mo didn't find the second Book of Ages but found some items from the Abyssal Realm, like clusters of crystals.
These crystal clusters don't have too many uses, but they are essential for some rituals.
Like the resurrection ritual mentioned before... Of course, calling it a Forbidden Resurrection is also fine. The process involves writing the name of the deceased on a name tag, offering sacrifices, and preparing crystals of elements like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, which can bring a dead organism back to life.
It sounds... surprisingly reasonable, considering this ritual might be used later, so Fang Mo had Steve collect some crystal clusters.
Besides, Fang Mo also collected some antimatter.
Yes, this is the same bucket of antimatter Fang Mo poured over Ego's head while causing trouble in Marvel, which is quite common in Omothol.
However, it's worth mentioning that after reading the Book of the Abyss, Fang Mo discovered that this antimatter can be infinitely manufactured, and the method is very "MC": throw a cow into the antimatter to kill it, and then an antimatter cow will be generated on the spot.
This antimatter cow has no difference in AI from a normal dairy cow and won't attack people on its own.
But if a player uses an empty bucket on it with the right click, it will generate a bucket of antimatter out of thin air, which, if you think about it, seems quite logical. The milk squeezed out from an antimatter cow... would definitely be antimatter.
"So, what I initially poured on Ego's head was milk."
After understanding this, Fang Mo couldn't help but talk to himself: "Goodness, if I had known that cows could squeeze out antimatter, I would have prepared a few thousand tons first. If I encounter a world I don't like in the future, I could just perform a grand milk tipping..."
In short, after exploring Omothol for a bit.
Fang Mo quickly returned to the pocket space with Steve.
The progress in the abyssal realm has concluded. After Fang Mo collected the necessary materials, he had no desire to stay longer in this dark and cold world, so he decisively returned to research other modules.
Despite Fang Mo speedrunning through the Bleach's world this time, he unexpectedly unlocked a total of three modules.
Besides the synthesis conflict resolution, Fang Mo also unlocked the Cyclops and sleeping pills modules, and thus, he planned to try researching them.
So, after returning to the city,
It wasn't long before Steve continued to explore the main world.
Since Fang Mo had already unlocked quite a few modules, there was still a lot to be found in the main world. Steve collected resources while exploring, and when tired, he would return home to research at the workbench, which was quite efficient.
A few days passed like this.
Suddenly, Steve discovered a small island at sea.
Originally, Fang Mo hadn't noticed this island, but as he was about to pass by, a health bar suddenly popped up in Steve's view.
Seeing this, Fang Mo reacted and directly controlled Steve to go onto the island.
Following a pit in the middle of the island down, Fang Mo quickly encountered a monster with a godly and ghostly face, about a few blocks tall, wearing animal skins, with a huge head that had only one eye and a mouth, and holding a giant club in its hand—clearly, this was the Cyclops.
Thus, Fang Mo controlled Steve and killed the monster with a few strikes using a mythril weapon.
After the Cyclops died, it directly dropped an eyeball. However, after picking it up and examining it, Fang Mo couldn't figure out what it was used for.
At this point, there was no further research to be done on the Cyclops module.
So, Fang Mo thought about it and decided to focus all his attention on the workbench.
As mentioned before, the thermal expansion storage box was very useful, but the problem was that its storage capacity was limited, and upgrading it was necessary to increase its capacity.
So, Fang Mo began to test randomly again.
Several days passed, and Fang Mo finally succeeded in making an upgrade kit.
The thermal expansion machines and items have a total of five levels, including the basic machine made initially and four other levels: hardened, reinforced, signalum, and resonant.
This time, Fang Mo made a hardened-level upgrade kit.
Placing a bronze gear in the center of the workbench, surrounding it with invar alloy ingots on all sides, and finally adding two pinches of redstone, although it seemed simple, it was indeed not easy to make without a synthesis list.
Because of this, Fang Mo felt invincible, thrilled to no end.
"Ha ha, foolish Xiaoyao, I don't need you anymore!"
Fang Mo laughed loudly as he kicked the crafting table away, then happily upgraded the storage boxes at home, from the power generation devices to the ore storage area in the warehouse, strengthening everything possible to avoid future overflows.
He manually created an upgrade kit of the hardening level.
Fang Mo obviously felt a bit inflated too, so he quickly tried the enhancement level kits.
This time it was difficult. Fang Mo followed the same structure, using redstone + gears + metal ingots, etc., and ended up using almost all the materials available at home. He tried a lot of materials like gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, nickel, chromium, aluminum, zinc, lead, uranium, but ultimately failed.
"Damn Xiaoyao, I was wrong... I still need you."
A few days later, Fang Mo sadly said, "It's no good, next time I go to Marvel, I must have Mantis enter my dreams once. Without watching tutorials, it's impossible to play."
After this incident.
Fang Mo was indeed disgusted by the crafting table.
So, he thought about it a bit and directly traveled to his own dimension, planning to take a look at Ego Planet as a way to relax his mind.
With a slight movement of his mind.
Fang Mo already appeared on Ego Planet.
Currently, Ego Planet was still in a desolate state.
Originally, Fang Mo had planned to ask Ego to help transform the environment, but now his mind was completely distracted, so that plan was definitely completely ruined.
However, near the area where Hayakawa Aki and others lived, the environment had changed a bit. After all, they knew ninjutsu, so it was possible to slightly change the terrain or spray some water, and this was exactly where Fang Mo chose to stay, a place similar to a village.
This time Fang Mo came over.
Actually, he planned to slightly modify the environment here.
He had been busy with other things before and had neglected the construction of Ego Planet. Now, being disgusted by the crafting table, it was quite good to modify the environment a bit.
Fang Mo looked around and felt that compared to when he just left from Chainsaw Man, there were a few more buildings nearby. Initially, besides Hayakawa Aki's family, there was only the family of Quanxi and the demon girls, a huge planet with only two lonely houses, as pitiful as could be.
But now, Starrk and Ulquiorra were also brought in by Fang Mo.
Originally, as Vasto Lorde level Hollows, wandering in the Hollow world, they didn't need houses. They could rest just lying on the ground, but now there were unexpectedly two more buildings here, not sure if they built them themselves or if it was built by Hayakawa Aki or Quanxi's family.
There's also Fang Mo's own villa, which now stands not far away.
However, even so.
This place was still too desolate.
After all, the size of this Ego planet is almost catching up with the moon, but when these people are added together… it feels too forced to even call it a village; it's completely like a feeling of two or three households of holdouts.
"Hmm... At the moment, is it really because the population is too small?"
Thinking this, Fang Mo also subconsciously nodded his head.
It seems that if one wants to develop Ego planet, indeed, more popularity is needed.
With just these few people, let alone building a planet, it's feared that not even a Konoha Village could be built, right?
Thinking this, Fang Mo directly returned to the MC world once, dug out a huge pile of world boxes, and began to transport populations in bulk.
Things like the Twilight Forest's Redcap Goblins, Gnolls, Cave Trolls, Liches, Taurens, survivors from the Abyssal Realm, villagers from the main world, witches, and of course, a bunch of monster girls from the Gaia Codex, in short, anything Fang Mo could think of, he crazily packed into the world boxes, and eventually returned to Ego planet and released them all.
In this instant, the surroundings felt like a pot exploding.
Fang Mo stood in mid-air, looking down at the dark mass below, especially at the group of cute monster girls, which really looked very pleasing to the eye. For a moment, he felt as if he had even traveled to some anime in another world.
However, this large group of people seemed to have also alarmed the local residents here, which of course were the two families of Hayakawa Aki and Quanxi, as well as the two Arrancars. At this moment, they also slowly walked out of their houses, looking dumbfounded at Fang Mo in mid-air, not knowing what mischief he was planning again.
Fang Mo didn't explain to them but directly activated the Ring of Arcana.
The next second, the Harvest Goddess mode was activated, and a light green essence began to expand from Fang Mo to the surroundings. This was not an attack skill like the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees but purely a large-scale afforestation. The originally barren and poor Ego planet began to be covered with vegetation at a visible speed.
After this, Fang Mo directly flew to a nearby basin, casually pulling out a Hot Spring Sword preparing to create a sea first.
But what he didn't expect was.
When Fang Mo stabbed the Hot Spring Sword into the ground, a strange brown liquid suddenly spurted out wildly from the sword body.
"Damn!"
