[System Notification: New module feature detected, research to gain download rights.]
"Uh?"
Hearing the long-lost system notification sound, Fang Mo seemed to be startled as well, having done nothing just then, yet suddenly a module was unlocked?
However, before Fang Mo could figure it out,
The system notification sounded again.
[System Notification: Concepts such as "Greed," "Hatred," "Opposition," "Enslaving One's Kind" have been researched. You have gained download rights for a new module.]
[System Notification: The Tycoon Module begins downloading.]
[System Notification: Tycoon Module download complete. Load now?]
"...What?"
Hearing the notification sound in his mind, Fang Mo was completely stunned, even finding it hard to accept this fact for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
Ancient One, noticing the change in Fang Mo's expression, asked.
"Uh... I suddenly gained a new power," Fang Mo did not hide it, just subconsciously touched his head: "But how to say, the nature of this power is quite special, caught me off guard."
"Perhaps it's because you've gained a large number of followers on Earth."
Ancient One, not knowing the source of Fang Mo's power, thought it was due to his identity as a Dimensional Demon God, and curiously asked, "What kind of power is it?"
"It's a bit tricky to explain."
Fang Mo pondered for a moment before saying, "If I had to say, you could think of it as a power... of hanging street lamps?"
"...You have to understand, I'm just a human after all."
After listening, Ancient One first fell silent, then calmly said, "I hope next time you can try to explain these in a way humans can understand, rather than speaking in indecipherable eldritch whispers."
"No, I mean, even I TM can't understand this, okay?"
Fang Mo spread his hands, being reasonable this module was truly unplayed by him. If he knew about this module in his previous life, wouldn't he have played it?
But speaking of which, Fang Mo now really felt like complaining.
This was mainly because of two aspects.
On one hand, this module was just too bizarre; what's up with this Tycoon thing? Not knowing what goes on in the minds of those who create such modules, is this really something that could be made into a module?
Of course, that's just one aspect, and as for the other, it's that this new module unlocked rather too suddenly.
Even Fang Mo himself couldn't understand why he would unlock this module out of the blue. Logically speaking, he was just watching the show the whole time, how did he suddenly unlock the Tycoon module?
Could it be that it was unlocked unintentionally while he was using an alternate account?
After thinking for a while, Fang Mo felt that it might indeed be possible, especially since the system notification mentioned detecting concepts like greed, hatred, opposition, enslaving one's kind.
Probably, these were concepts triggered together with the citizens of New York while he was playing the role of a Dimensional Demon God.
General Ross, on the surface, wanted to combat the Dimensional Demon God, but in reality, this was just an attitude of the military, a way for those people to maintain their political system, and had nothing to do with saving the citizens.
Even if it means launching a nuclear missile at New York, they are willing to do whatever it takes to retain their rulers' rights.
It's clear that some citizens of New York City have also realized this, and having witnessed the greed of those in power, they are naturally angered. At this point, all concepts including greed, hatred, opposition, enslavement of their own kind, etc., have been gathered, and it was precisely these that Fang Mo's system detected, allowing him to unlock the Tycoon module by mistake.
But honestly speaking.
Fang Mo had never actually played this module before.
However, he was quite looking forward to it. Since the module is called the Tycoon module, it should probably include settings like street lights, the triangular trade, sugarcane, rubber, cotton, the New World, extermination of indigenous peoples, and the trafficking of... trafficking villagers, right?
After all, that's the tycoon for you, legendary Draculas aren't as bloodthirsty as they are.
Just thinking about it got Fang Mo somewhat excited.
After returning to the main world this time, he also decided to study this module carefully.
Thinking of this, Fang Mo silently uttered a confirmation.
[System Notification: Tycoon module loaded successfully.]
[System Notification: Because you have downloaded and run a new module, you have received a lucky cube, which will randomly draw an item from any known module.]
Soon after, the system also emitted a notification sound.
With the system's notification sound, another lucky cube appeared in the backpack of Fang Mo's avatar, Steve. After accumulating over time, he now has nine lucky cubes in hand.
Considering the mystique of drawing cards.
Fang Mo decided to take a trip to Asgard to open the awards in the next few days.
Of course, he had no choice. Fang Mo had tried drawing cards in other places, but no matter where he drew them, it seemed like he was cursed with bad luck, except for Asgard in the Marvel world. This place seemed to be truly his lucky spot, not only unlocking a large number of modules for him but also always bringing him incredible luck when drawing cards.
Many of the artifacts Fang Mo held were drawn in Asgard.
However, just as Fang Mo was contemplating a luxurious nine-draw, the surrounding scenery suddenly fell into a weird pause.
Then, the radioactive dust that had been sprinkling onto the earth suddenly reversed, with countless gray-white snowflakes starting to float back up to the sky. Of course, other destroyed buildings also began to continuously restore themselves, as if someone had pressed the rewind button on the entire world.
"Hmm?"
Fang Mo was, of course, all too familiar with this scene, given that he himself was a master of the Time Stone. At this moment, his attention was drawn back: "Time magic?"
"It's Strange."
The Ancient One spoke up: "He has once again used the power of the Eye of Agamotto, presumably intending to repair this city."
"Oh, I see."
Fang Mo nodded calmly, not saying much more.
Soon, the radioactive dust that had been falling from the sky reversed back into the sky, followed by a visible shockwave that began to emerge from the distance, quickly converging towards a central point, turning back into a huge fireball, and eventually, all the flames were reabsorbed back into the nuclear missile.
After the first nuclear missile appeared, a second nuclear missile was also reversed back into existence shortly after.
Seeing this, Strange quickly raised his hand and drew a portal in the air, and the two nuclear missiles disappeared on the spot, with no indication of where they were transported to.
"He succeeded."
Upon witnessing Strange's actions, the Ancient One's face unconsciously revealed a gratified expression, seemingly very satisfied with her disciple's behavior. However, she soon put her hood back on, stating, "I need to return. I can't let Strange find out I'm still alive, otherwise everything he has gone through would have been in vain."
"Then sit on it and make it move yourself."
Fang Mo said this and casually threw an Ender Greatsword towards her.
The Ancient One, albeit speechless after hearing this, still caught the Ender Greatsword. Being the Sorcerer Supreme, she studied it briefly before being absorbed into it as its core.
After absorbing the Ancient One, the appearance of the Ender Greatsword changed. Its originally dark green blade had inexplicably turned black, and the material of the greatsword shifted from metal to wood, resembling ancient ebony wood. The wooden blade was carved with countless magical runes, wrapping around the entire sword like the natural growth patterns of trees.
Fang Mo gestured with his hand, summoning the sword back to him.
The moment he held the sword, myriad specific uses for magic, such as magic whips, portals, and mirror spaces, instantly came to mind, as if he had learned them without a teacher.
Fang Mo then drew a portal in mid-air with his hand.
This time, the portal he created was not square but a proper orange circular portal of Kamar-Taj.
"Wow…"
Fang Mo laughed upon seeing this and then stepped into the portal.
On the other side of the portal was Nick Fury. Seeing Fang Mo approaching, Fury was about to speak when Fang Mo raised the magical longsword in his hand: "Hey, this thing is way more useful than a magic wand!"
"What did you just do?"
Nick Fury ignored Fang Mo's abrupt action and continued with his question.
"I went to poop."
Fang Mo pretended to adjust his trousers with his other hand.
"Cut the crap, don't tell me you conjured this sword while you were pooping." Nick Fury immediately retorted, "And if you really went to the bathroom, there's no way you could have returned this quickly, you'd have to squat there for at least two and a half years…"
"Two and a half years for a poop, huh."
Hearing this, Fang Mo felt a surge of excitement: "Hello, fellow Avengers, I am practicing…"
"Can you speak human language?"
However, Nick Fury didn't indulge Fang Mo and directly interrupted his casting.
"Alright… I just happened to run into an old friend unexpectedly, so I chatted with her for a bit." Fang Mo wasn't upset, just shrugged casually: "After all, the world has returned to peace, so I guess there's nothing for me to do now."
Nick Fury stared at Fang Mo with his one eye for a long while, then suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in Fang Mo's ear, "Be honest with me, did you play Sargeras?"
"Why don't you guess more boldly?" Fang Mo replied with a smile and patted his shoulder, also in a whisper.
"What do you mean?"
Nick Fury seemed stunned for a moment.
"Not only the Evil Titan Sargeras, but even the Crimson Demon Cyttorak…" Fang Mo first chuckled and raised a thumbs up, then suddenly pointed it towards his chest: "It was me, Fang Mo, who played them!"
"I remember when you persuaded us to leave, you had sworn not to cause any trouble."
Nick Fury's face darkened: "Is this what you call not causing trouble? Starting to spread cults all over the Earth as soon as we leave?"
"Hey, I did it for you guys."
Fang Mo smiled and spread his hands: "Who made this group of idiots come up with the Sokovia Accords? So, I just played around a bit, letting the whole world see what Earth would be like without the Avengers."
"What if they don't come to their senses?"
Nick Fury asked.
"I'll have a good talk with them." Fang Mo smiled and said, "I once heard a phrase, 'With great power comes great responsibility.' This indirectly led to the birth of another superhero. But I have my own opinion, which is, the greater the power, the greater the pp... cough, I misspoke, the greater the ambition."
"What do you mean by that?"
Nick Fury frowned upon hearing this, seemingly detecting a dangerous aura from the other.
"Those who stand at the pinnacle of power fear death the most."
Fang Mo said with a smile, "As long as I push straight through to Washington D.C. and corner the President of the United States in his office, telling him the moon will crash into Earth in 24 hours, what do you think he'll do?"
"I think..."
Nick Fury pondered and said, "Mr. President probably won't believe that."
"Do you believe it?"
Fang Mo asked with a grin.
"I believe it, I truly do," Nick Fury immediately responded. "I know you did it to reestablish the Avengers. As a friend, I'm grateful to you, but let me handle this..."
"The problem is that your methods are too soft."
Fang Mo shrugged and said, "Was I too nice before, making those government departments think I'm easy to talk to? You should have directly taken them out yourself and become the President of the United States, but you, this bald guy, wouldn't listen to anything."
"At least they were only targeting the Avengers."
Nick Fury explained, "I think those politicians wouldn't dare to provoke you, otherwise, according to Ross's character, he wouldn't let it go, um... right."
Having said that, Nick Fury also realized: "The ghost on Ross was your doing, wasn't it? How is he now?"
"Just bewitched by Cyttorak."
Fang Mo waved his hand, "It's nothing serious. He should wake up on his own soon, but he won't remember what he did before."
"Is there no danger?"
Nick Fury asked.
Fang Mo shook his head and then looked up into the sky. At this moment, Doctor Strange had already finished casting his time magic, slowly descending from the air in a wheelchair.
"Yo, the Wheelchair Hero is back?"
Seeing him in a wheelchair, Fang Mo immediately greeted him with a laugh: "You are now a big hero in New York City. I'm planning to have Stark Industries spend a fortune to build you a golden wheelchair statue to commemorate your great achievements."
"What kind of nickname is Wheelchair Hero?"
After landing, Doctor Strange immediately got down from the wheelchair: "As you can see, my legs have been healed."
"No problem, I can break them again for you."
