Waiting for the Right Moment!
In some movies with a long time span, Chen Mo's time travel will be at the very beginning of the story. If the things or characters Chen Mo needs appear in the early stages, it's fine. He can just get them early and leave without worrying about the later plot.
Just like in the world of "Underworld," Chen Mo was directly transported back to the Middle Ages, the origin of the undead race, while the main plot of this movie takes place in modern times.
However, what Chen Mo needed was Alexander Corvinus's Pure Blood, which could be obtained directly in the early stages of the story without having to wait until the modern era. So, after successfully obtaining the Pure Blood, evolving his body into an immortal one, gaining Eternal Life, and unexpectedly learning the extraordinary swordsmanship honed by Alexander Corvinus over hundreds of years of battle, Chen Mo chose to leave immediately.
However, if what Chen Mo needs has not yet appeared at the beginning of the story, or if the conditions for obtaining it are not met until later in the story, then a considerable amount of time will be wasted in the long wait between his entry and his final departure.
In fact, Chen Mo had this worry as soon as he learned it was this movie, and he didn't expect that he would actually guess it. Just like the previous times, he arrived at the beginning of the plot.
Fortunately, Chen Mo had previously obtained Eternal Life from the world of "Underworld," so he didn't have to worry about dying of old age before the plot he needed arrived. If that were the case, he would have had no choice but to painfully give up this world and leave prematurely.
However, this also served as a reminder to Chen Mo that obtaining what he wanted in some worlds was not so easy; certain innate conditions were required to achieve it successfully.
For example, in this world, if Chen Mo hadn't obtained the Pure Blood and possessed an immortal life beforehand, he wouldn't have been able to wait until the future plot matured to get what he wanted.
For example, in the world of Iron Man, if he hadn't entered the world of Captain America before and formed a deep friendship with Howard Stark, becoming Tony Stark's godfather, it wouldn't have been easy for him to obtain the Iron Man suit, given his arrogant and conceited personality.
Without subduing HYDRA beforehand and without Eric Killmonger's assistance, gaining control of Wakanda and acquiring Vibranium, Nanotech Combat Suit, and Wakanda's cutting-edge technology would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, Chen Mo needs to learn more about the worlds that he is interested in and that he may visit in the future, and make corresponding preparations in advance, so as not to waste the hard-won opportunity if he has the chance to travel there but fails to achieve his goal for various reasons, or simply has to give up.
After all, the worlds that appear each time are completely random, and many of them are not very valuable. It is not easy to encounter the movie world you want. Once you do, you must seize the opportunity, otherwise you may not be able to encounter it again next time.
It was already quite an achievement that he was able to travel to the world he wanted at the moment he longed for most. Although it was a bit of a waste of time, he might as well make the best of it. After all, he had infinite life, so he could use the extra time to experience different lives.
Moreover, with this long period of time, he can slowly plan and strive to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
Chen Mo is currently in Alberta, in northwestern Canada, in 1845.
Not far from the manor he bought, there was another manor of considerable size, owned by a man John Howlett!
Chen Mo's target is that manor!
However, since there were still hundreds of years to go, Chen Mo was not in a hurry. He settled down in the manor and learned about the situation of this era while keeping an eye on the situation of the Howlett Manor.
At that time, Canada was still a Britain colony, and its economy was mainly based on agriculture, forestry and fishing. Alberta, where they were located, was close to the Rocky Mountains in the west and had abundant forestry resources, mainly engaged in logging and processing of timber. The east was a vast plain with fertile land, mainly used for agriculture and animal husbandry.
Chen Mo's manor is located at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
Meanwhile, the United States, which borders Canada, is experiencing rapid development.
The North and Central regions were undergoing the Industrial Revolution, with capitalist economies developing rapidly, while the South was based on a plantation economy rooted in black slavery.
At the same time, the United States acquired vast territories in the West by purchasing land from various Europe colonies, and subsequently established new states in the West.
Whenever a new state is formed, a struggle ensues within that state to allow or prohibit slavery.
The Northern bourgeoisie and peasants advocated for the abolition of slavery in New South Wales and demanded that New South Wales be designated a free state.
Southern slave owners sought to extend slavery to the west, advocating for the designation of New South Wales as a state that would allow slavery.
Because the Industrial Revolution was still in its early stages, the bourgeoisie had limited power in the United States. Congress and government. The slave owners, taking advantage of their dominant position in Congress and government, achieved successive victories, which aroused the indignation of the people in the North.
The existence of slavery in the South severely stifled the development of industry and commerce in the North, and the conflict between Southern plantation owners and Northern capitalists intensified.
Chen Mo knew that in a few years, the conflict between the two sides would intensify and might even break out into armed conflict. The world-famous large-scale Civil War, the American Civil War, was not far away!
This era was chaotic, but for Chen Mo, it was also a good thing, greatly facilitating the execution of his plans.
Having grasped the current situation through various channels and compared it with the history and movie plots in his mind, a plan gradually took shape in Chen Mo's mind. Chen Mo was full of confidence in achieving his goal!
With the plan set, Chen Mo did not rush into action, but patiently waited for the right opportunity.
Based on past experience, even if he makes some minor changes to the plot, it won't disrupt the overall direction of the story. However, if he completely alters the plot, the subsequent developments will become uncontrollable.
Chen Mo didn't care if the plot was changed, but that would only happen after he achieved his goal.
If he rashly intervenes before some key plot points occur, he could very well change the plot, and things that were supposed to happen might be delayed or even never happen again. He doesn't want to take that risk.
He is now facing such a situation. What he needs has not yet appeared. If he intervenes too early, it may disrupt the original plot trajectory and create unknown variables.
