"Damn it! I forgot to unlock the Infinity Gauntlet mod!"
As Fang Mo recalled this oversight, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
His sudden action clearly startled the young girl who was pondering nearby, causing her to frown and look towards Fang Mo: "The Infinity Gauntlet mod?"
"Yes."
Fang Mo nodded with a look of misery.
In fact, this situation was ultimately Fang Mo's own fault. After he had defeated Thanos and found the Infinity Gauntlet among the remnants of Titan, the system did indeed remind him about it.
It hinted that researching it could unlock related mods.
But at that time, Fang Mo was too homesick, so he decided to go home first and study this darned mod later.
After that, with a snap of his fingers, and the use of magic jewels and insect arrows,
Even Nyarlathotep brought over the Yog-Sothoth bubble to forcibly give him a hand, and these actions combined indeed allowed Fang Mo to return to the universe he longed for day and night, albeit only in the form of a dream, but he was still very happy.
However, because his dream came true all at once, Fang Mo was too excited, and later, due to a misjudgment by his partner who snapped his fingers, his memories were entrusted to him.
After going through this series of events, Fang Mo temporarily forgot about the system.
Seeing his partner give everything to him, Fang Mo, in a moment of impulse, also snapped his fingers. It must be said that the Infinity Stones are indeed Marvel's divine artifacts; their power is indeed immense, creating a living being merely from a memory.
But what Fang Mo didn't expect was that his avatar, Steve, seemed to resonate with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet.
As a result, the Infinity Stones collectively exploded into powder.
At that moment, Fang Mo didn't think much of it, but now he realized, with the Infinity Stones gone, he couldn't study them anymore.
And without the ability to study the Infinity Stones, the progress of unlocking the Infinity Gauntlet mod naturally came to a halt.
This meant that he might never be able to unlock this mod again.
"Damn it..."
Thinking of this, Fang Mo really felt regretful.
"Aren't you supposed to have collected all the Infinity Stones?"
However, unlike Fang Mo's misery, the girl on the other side was not aware of the current situation. She asked with a puzzled face, "According to the mod unlocking method you just told me... just by touching the Infinity Gauntlet, you could unlock the mod, so it shouldn't be this frustrating, right?"
"I can't touch anything now."
Fang Mo said with a frustrated face: "In order to bring you here, the Infinity Gauntlet was overloaded, and all six stones exploded."
"Uh..."
Hearing Fang Mo's explanation, the girl was stunned at first, then pursed her lips, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
As a hardcore Minecraft mod player, she of course knew what the Infinity Gauntlet mod meant.
In Minecraft, the Infinity Gauntlet mod is indeed very outrageous.
The Power Stone can instantly defeat most bosses in the mods, the Space Stone allows for unlimited teleportation by inputting XYZ coordinates, the Time Stone can freeze entities... and of course, the most outrageous is the Reality Stone, which can activate creative mode with a right click.
However, now that he had lost this opportunity in order to bring her over,
"Um..."
The girl lowered her head slightly: "I..."
"It's okay, it's not your fault." However, before the girl could finish her sentence, Fang Mo saw her intent and waved his hand, saying, "Just creative mode, if we really had that damn thing, it wouldn't be interesting anymore. I still prefer the feeling of developing slowly with you."
"If worse comes to worst, how about trying the Quantum Realm from the original?"
The girl pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then quietly suggested, "Or we could look for the Time Variance Authority. They have Infinity Stones everywhere, we could just sneak over and grab one."
"Right, that's all we can do now."
Fang Mo nodded, finding the girl's suggestion similar to his thoughts, only a bit too cautious.
"Why do we have to act like thieves, sneaking around?"
Thinking this, Fang Mo waved his hand boldly: "Have you forgotten how we do it in Minecraft? Just rob them, that's it!"
"I haven't developed the technology yet. If we can't beat them..."
"Hey, what's there to beat?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Mo immediately burst into laughter, "The people from the Time Variance Authority can only manage characters on the timeline at most. We are block people, and not to mention our power system doesn't even come from Marvel. We can even jump out of the timeline, how can they fight us?"
"I don't even have a suit of armor right now," the girl couldn't help but say.
"You are a technical and logistical talent, there's no need for you to take action personally," Fang Mo waved his hand and said, "Leave matters like fighting to a brute like me. I, with one thrust of my sword... no, I can blow up their base."
"Alright then," the girl nodded reluctantly, but she seemed a bit uncomfortable, "But I still need to quickly develop our technology tree, at least get myself a quantum suit. Otherwise, I always feel insecure."
"Don't worry, I can protect you," Fang Mo confidently patted his chest and then sighed, "Ah, it's been so many years, it's not easy. Finally, I have the chance to take care of you."
"Tch, I'm not the kind of weak woman who needs protection."
Hearing Fang Mo's words, the girl was slightly annoyed and pursed her lips, "So, when can we return to the MC world? Once I grind out an automated production line, it'll be my turn to protect you..."
"Oh, you want to go back," Fang Mo stroked his chin, then said, "Just bear with it a little longer. I still have one last thing to do in Marvel, and once it's done, we'll go back. I now have several Books of Ages, from Re:Zero, One Punch, Bleach, Naruto, and X-Men. You can choose where you want to go, and I'll accompany you."
"You still have something to do here?"
The girl's curiosity was piqued, "Thanos has already been defeated by you, right? The storyline here should be over, shouldn't it? What else do you have to do?"
"You're making it sound like Marvel went bankrupt," Fang Mo complained.
"Is it the same?" The girl retorted directly, "The movies before Thanos died were food, the movies after Thanos died are shit."
"Damn, I can't even argue with that..."
Fang Mo's mouth twitched, then he spread his hands and said, "Okay, I won't pretend anymore. To be honest, I was planning to organize a seven-day memorial for the Ancient One."
"A seven-day singing competition for the king?"
The girl was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, I've got the WIFI ready." Fang Mo nodded, "The opera troupe is also ready. Nyarlathotep said he would come over with Nick Fury to carry the coffin, and then call his good brother Ghroth over to play the suona. Oh, and the audience, I successfully persuaded the Ancient One to attend this funeral."
"..."
The girl was speechless for a moment, overwhelmed by the absurdity, and finally managed to hold her forehead, "...It had to be you."
"Of course."
Fang Mo looked proud.
But before he could say anything more, the Milano suddenly shook slightly, and then footsteps were heard outside.
"Hey, buddy."
The next second, the voice of Rocket Raccoon came from outside, "I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
"Hm?" Hearing Rocket Raccoon's voice, Fang Mo turned to look outside the door. The door was still closed, and the person had not directly come in. Fang Mo thought for a moment and then asked outside, "What's up?"
"We've already arrived on Earth."
Rocket Raccoon outside said, "I saw you hadn't made any move, so I came over to ask, are you going to get off the ship or stay here a bit longer?"
"What? We've already arrived?"
Hearing Rocket Raccoon's words, Fang Mo was slightly startled, then instinctively turned his head to look at the girl.
Honestly, this was the first time Fang Mo felt that time could pass so quickly.
"That fast?"
Rocket Raccoon outside also sounded a bit surprised, "Our return speed was even slower than when we went."
"Well... Alright then."
Hearing this, Fang Mo could only stand up from the sofa, "I'll come out now."
"I'll wait for you outside."
Rocket Raccoon said, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
"We've already arrived on Earth?" After the outside was quiet, the girl also stood up from the sofa, looking somewhat expectant, "Hmm, the Earth of the Marvel universe, I'm really curious what it's like here... I've never even left the province in my whole life."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the direction of the cabin door.
However, contrary to what the other person expected, Fang Mo looked at the slender figure of the girl in front of him and, for some reason, memories of the past suddenly surfaced in his heart.
There was a time when he wandered alone in the endless worlds.
No amount of fun could dispel the loneliness in his heart. With every world he passed through and every module he unlocked, he felt his heart grow colder.
The stronger his power became, the more incapable he was of dispelling that feeling of emptiness in his soul.
Until now, finally, someone could walk alongside him.
This little one in front of him came from the same world as him. She understood everything he did, and she also knew what he didn't. This little, flesh-and-blood lunatic was willing to join him in his madness and in his troubles.
Even in the MC world, Fang Mo was no longer alone.
An immortal life is actually a curse, but looking at her petite figure, Fang Mo suddenly hoped that this curse would never end.
Thinking this, Fang Mo couldn't help but subconsciously start to speak, "Hey, that what…"
"Hmm?"
The girl, hearing Fang Mo's voice, also stopped and looked back at him.
"Uh…"
But at that moment, Fang Mo found himself embarrassingly stuck.
He opened his mouth but didn't know what he actually wanted to say, feeling like a fool: "That… little… uh… Yao…"
"You wouldn't be wondering what to call me, would you?"
The girl laughed lightly, her eyes seemingly carrying an indescribable light, seeing through Fang Mo's little thoughts: "Then you might as well call me Xiao Yao... After all, calling me by my name directly seems a bit embarrassing, doesn't it?"
"Oh... Okay then."
Fang Mo unconsciously nodded: "Xiao Yao."
"Yep."
The girl lightly responded, then tilted her head and looked at Fang Mo with a smile: "So, what should I call you?"
"Magic Cube? A-Fang?"
The girl, or rather Xiao Yao, blinked: "Or should I say… Fang Mo?"
"Whatever makes you happy."
Fang Mo didn't really mind.
After all, unlike her, his name was actually quite easy to pronounce.
"Then, I'll call you Fang Mo this time." Xiao Yao nodded, then waved at him: "Let's go, don't keep them waiting too long."
"Yeah, let's go."
Fang Mo nodded, then walked towards the cabin door.
However, it turned out that Fang Mo was still a bit late because by the time he and Xiao Yao descended from Milano, most of the Avengers had already left.
Especially Doctor Strange.
Now, as the Sorcerer Supreme truly concerned about the safety of Earth, he reportedly opened a portal and left as soon as he landed to check the status of the sanctum's barriers.
As for Captain America, Bucky, and Stark, they also left one after another.
Only Nick Fury was still standing there with a grim face, seemingly waiting to see Fang Mo's next move before deciding what to do.
Of course, the Guardians of the Galaxy… or rather the Rocket team, had no intention of leaving, since the spaceship was their home.
Seeing this, Fang Mo certainly didn't want to continue staying in place. After greeting everyone, he directly took his little partner back to the pure white space-time, planning to show her his territory and show off a bit.
But coincidentally, as soon as he took her back, they saw the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One reading a book.
"There she is, the living Ancient One!"
Before Fang Mo could speak, Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, and she ran over: "Hello, Ancient One, I've heard you've lived for several hundred years. Actually, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you…"
"Hmm?"
The Ancient One was momentarily taken aback upon seeing her but nodded subconsciously after seeing she was with Fang Mo: "Ask."
"Have you gone through menopause?"
The girl asked like a curious child, blinking her eyes.
