Steve Chapter 176

[System Notification: Twilight Forest mod is starting to download.]

"!?"

Hearing this sound, Fang Mo instantly became restless.

Honestly, he had been waiting for this mod so eagerly that he was almost going mad.

Although this mod isn't as powerful as the "Equivalent Exchange" mod, it can be said to be Fang Mo's favorite mod.

The Twilight Forest mod, as the name suggests, is an adventure-based mod.

It adds a dimension to the MC world, a dimension where there is no day-night cycle, everything is enveloped in eternal twilight in a tranquil forest.

According to the official setting of the Twilight Forest, this forest once nurtured a very prosperous civilization. However, now everything has declined and only eternal starlight shines over everything. You can find traces of this ancient civilization in the remains of broken walls, relics, and certain creatures.

Now, this forest has new rulers.

Magic traces can be found everywhere.

Mysterious castles on highlands, thorn forests surrounding them, trolls underground, giants above in the sky, nagas in the forest swallowing everything, enigmatic witches.

Of course, there's also the hydra lurking in the fiery marsh, and twilight wraiths atop the dark tower.

The Aurora Palace's Snow Queen and the tombs of Knight Phantom deep underground.

It's a dimension filled with adventure and the unknown. If you want to explore the ultimate secret in the highland castle, you must eliminate these magical creatures one by one, harness their power to overcome obstacles, and rule over all.

Of course, the above is just a description in the setting.

In fact, the difficulty level of this mod is not high.

With Steve's current gear, he can pretty much dominate this world without injury.

The reason why Fang Mo likes this mod is not because it's powerful or anything, but simply because he genuinely enjoys it. The content is interesting, the settings are exquisite, and the balance is good. He truly never tires of playing it.

Take the hydra boss, for example.

Fang Mo wasn't lying when he cheered for the hydra.

He genuinely loves the hydra from the bottom of his heart, after all, he needs to have it meal after meal.

Yes, a serving of hydra meat can almost instantly refill one's hunger bar. It's an indispensable main dish in the "Eternal Twilight Feast".

Fang Mo is really curious.

What would the hydra meat taste like in reality?

Just thinking about it, Fang Mo can't help but want to open the Linking Book and return.

"What's wrong?"

Nick Fury probably noticed that there was something off about Fang Mo's expression, so he asked, "What are you thinking about? Is there anything strange about these collectibles?"

"No, it has nothing to do with these collectibles."

Fang Mo slowly shook his head, an uncontrollable emotion evident on his face.

"What is it then?" Nick Fury inquired.

"You might not believe me if I tell you."

Fang Mo, with a subtle gesture, touched his face and said, "Right now... I suddenly really need to use the restroom. I hope you can stay here and not move. I'll be back after I go."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Nick Fury looked a bit perplexed. "Do you have a stomachache?"

"Mm-hmm."

Fang Mo quickly and seriously nodded.

"Well, go ahead." Nick Fury, oblivious to the peril of his words, said with a puzzled face, "How long could it take for you to use the restroom? We'll wait for you here."

"The problem is, I have a bad habit when it comes to this."

Fang Mo spread his hands and said, "Every time before I go, I have to return to Asgard to bathe, change, offer incense, and pray. Only then can I comfortably do my business."

"..."

Nick Fury stared at Fang Mo for a while, doubting his sanity, and finally commented, "What? Before you use the restroom... do you need to bless your behind?"

"Because I have constipation, I have to cast efficiency on the toilet and cover my behind with redstone every time," Fang Mo said, feigning helplessness as he touched his forehead.

"You..."

Nick Fury opened his mouth to say something, but he found himself at a loss for words. After a pause, he simply shook his head, "Alright, if you want to go, then go."

"Huh?"

However, after hearing their conversation, Tivan was utterly stunned.

Indeed, Tivan had keen eyes and could see that Fang Mo's true form was not human but some indescribable, eerie entity. Hence, the excuse of needing the restroom was obviously a lie.

But looking at the three gems embedded in the glove...

Tivan chose to play it cool.

"As a human, having physiological needs is normal."

So, Tivan, with a smile, said, "It's rare to meet a distinguished individual like yourself. I have many topics to discuss with you. If you don't mind, both of you can wait here, and I'll treat you with the utmost courtesy..."

"Wait!"

Before Tivan could finish speaking, Loki quickly interrupted, "Weren't you going back to Asgard to bathe and change? Take me with you. I don't want to stay here any longer..."

"Oh, alright."

Fang Mo nodded, then immediately grabbed Loki by the collar.

With a mere thought, a dark blue mist instantly enveloped the two of them.

"Sir, please let Karina guide you to the guest room."

After Fang Mo left, collector Tivan smiled at Nick Fury, who nodded in return. He was indeed quite curious about alien technology, and studying it by himself was worth a try.

But once Nick Fury left,

Tivan's initially smiling face immediately darkened.

He quickly walked to a communicator, turned it on, and shouted inside, "Immediately raise the bounty for the Cosmic Orb from forty billion to one hundred billion! Someone is collecting the Infinity Stones, the universe's treasures. I must find a way to collect at least one…"

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The space is dyed and filled with a blue-black mist.

Fang Mo, holding onto Loki's collar, slowly walked out of it.

"Thank heavens, I'm finally back."

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Loki immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Fang Mo and said, "Can you let me go now?"

"Oh, off you go."

Hearing this, Fang Mo let go of Loki's collar.

Seeing this, Loki quickly scampered off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After letting Loki go, Fang Mo hummed a tune and went back to his chamber, took a serious hot bath, and then used his customized ability from Steve to change into a new set of clothes.

Fang Mo did not guess Tivan's little scheme.

He just simply wanted to draw a prize and then play with the "Twilight Forest" module.

After all, the timelines of the Marvel Universe and X-Men are different. One big event follows another, considering there are so many movies. So he estimated that if he went back and then returned, it wouldn't take very long.

For this reason, Fang Mo did not bring Nick Fury back.

He still wanted to go to Xandar with this guy in the future. After all, he always keeps his word.

After bathing and changing,

Fang Mo, as usual, offered incense to Notch.

After that, with a snap of his fingers, Fang Mo summoned his stand, Steve, to draw blocks.

Unlike his previous minor draws, this time Fang Mo had a whopping eighteen lucky blocks. The quantity and scale were definitely formidable.

These eighteen lucky blocks came from various sources like the chisel unlocked in Asgard, redstone soldier factory, redstone armory, tinkering enhancements, and many more, including those unlocked after touching the reality gem in the void and those unlocked while randomly touching things in Tivan's collection, such as the "Twilight Forest".

"Phew, I can finally draw prizes again."

Fang Mo rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Due to the sheer number of lucky blocks, Fang Mo didn't choose to draw one by one. Instead, he confidently selected a ten-consecutive draw.

Ten bright white lights flashed.

Immediately, ten items appeared in Steve's inventory.

Fang Mo excitedly saw that these ten items were the Mercurial Eye, Atomic Dissembler, Neutron Collector, Helium-3 Queen Bee?, The Disenchanter, Bedrock Golem Spawn Egg?, Pedestal, Flesh, Quantum Sword, and Transmutation Table.

"Holy crap!"

Upon seeing the last item, Fang Mo's eyes widened.

An unimaginable ecstasy surged in his heart.

At this moment, Fang Mo was almost uncontrollably ecstatic, like performing an act of biting a lighter. No, considering his level, he'd probably go as far as to bite a gas canister.

But as Fang Mo was drowning in ecstasy,

He accidentally caught a glimpse of the void ring on his hand.

It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over him. A very ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Yes, Fang Mo had previously been overjoyed when he drew the void ring because it had the ability to decompose and transform matter, turning waste materials like rotten flesh, dirt, and cobblestone into iron ingots, gold ingots, diamonds, and the like.

However, when Fang Mo excitedly tested its function, he found out that the ability could not be realized at all.

It was not for any other reason.

It was because Fang Mo did not possess the main body of the equivalent exchange module.

Without the module's main body, it meant that the concept of 'EMC value' had never emerged in Fang Mo's world.

The transmutation table's ability is simple. Throw something in, and it will be decomposed and recorded on an alchemy array. The item itself would then be decomposed into EMC value. Later, you can use EMC value to freely create any item you have decomposed.

But if a world doesn't have the EMC setting at all...

Would the Transmutation table still be useful?
