Choosing the Main Mod

Fang Mo actually wasn't sure.

Which mod the Return Scroll he had drawn had come from.

But that wasn't important, because he had now returned to the embrace of the MC world's Overworld.

Looking at the blocky mossy stone, Chests, and the Zombie beside him that kept growling, Fang Mo felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity.

It was like a severely socially anxious 2D shut-in being dragged outside for a full day of intense socializing, then finally returning home, stuffing himself with greasy fried junk food, collapsing onto his bed beneath the air conditioning, and playing his favorite game in bliss.

"This feeling is just too damn good..."

After cutting down the Zombie beside him in a few slashes, Fang Mo nearly couldn't stop himself from throwing back his head and howling at the sky.

But he was still in an underground mine, and even if he looked up, he wouldn't be able to see the sky. Fang Mo still had to hurry back to the surface first.

"Nothing here has changed at all. It feels like time stopped."

Fang Mo looked around and found that not a single thing had changed. The Monster Spawner was still suppressed by Torches, the Age Book lay on the ground, and everything was exactly the same.

Of course, this was also a game mechanic—the so-called Chunk setting. Once a player left, that Chunk stopped updating. Whether machines or creatures, everything inside remained in a state of Time Stop unless the player used certain mods to forcibly keep the Chunk active, such as Railcraft mod's World Anchor.

"I really didn't expect The Lost Cities Mod to send me to the Marvel world..."

Seeing the Golden Book on the ground, Fang Mo couldn't help sighing.

Yes, he was gradually beginning to understand everything. A string of English was printed on the Age Book's cover lying on the ground, something like "Marvel Comics." Didn't that mean Marvel?

Shaking his head, Fang Mo had Steve pick up the Age Book from the ground before heading straight back to the surface.

By normal logic, Fang Mo should have rested for a while after just finishing his journey through the Marvel world. But the MC world was like a paradise to him. Controlling Steve to build and explore here was like playing a game; not only was it not tiring, it was actually relaxing.

So after Fang Mo returned to that crude basement, he barely paused. He stuffed Steve's backpack with a huge pile of stone pickaxes and immediately headed back into the mine.

There was no helping it. After all, Fang Mo had fought Abomination in the Marvel world and dealt with Obadiah and Iron Monger, so Steve's equipment had lost durability rather quickly.

The Iron Sword and shield especially were practically about to fall apart, so he needed to mine some ore and gear himself up. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.

But honestly, vanilla Survival Mode was indeed far too easy for Fang Mo.

In less than half a day, Steve had dug up a huge pile of ores from underground.

Steve mined six or seven stacks of coal alone, two and a half stacks of Iron Ore, over a stack of Gold Ore, a massive pile of Lapis Lazuli and Redstone, plus Copper, Tin, Aluminum, Lead, and other ores added by IndustrialCraft and Tinkers' Construct.

Fang Mo even found nearly half a stack of Diamond.

Thankfully, Fang Mo had drawn the Alchemical Bag from Equivalent Exchange during the Marvel lottery. Otherwise, the Cobblestone he mined alone would have forced Steve to make several trips back and forth. It seemed the Alchemical Bag was somewhat useful after all, not as useless as Fang Mo had thought.

After mining enough minerals, Fang Mo waved his hand and directly controlled Steve to make more than ten furnaces, smelting minerals on one side while baking Cobblestone into stone on the other, preparing building materials for the house he would make next.

And while Steve was busy smelting minerals and crafting armor.

Fang Mo's real body began to consider his next path of development.

After his brief trip to the Marvel world, Fang Mo had gained several more mods. He now had More Furniture, Tombstone, Moving Portals, The Lost Cities Mod, Pam's HarvestCraft, ExtraBiomesXL, JourneyMap, Avaritia, Chinese Language Pack, Tinkers' Construct, Mutant Creatures, and IndustrialCraft.

Of these, the first mods Fang Mo gave up on were IndustrialCraft and Pam's HarvestCraft.

The reason for Pam's HarvestCraft had been discussed before, and Fang Mo's reason for abandoning IndustrialCraft was similar. As a large tech mod, its crafting recipes were extremely complex. Fang Mo currently had no auxiliary mod to view crafting recipes, so playing a large tech mod like this was practically impossible.

Forget the Quantum Suit and Nano Sword.

The Wood Battery Box alone was enough to kill him on the spot.

Of course, Fang Mo also abandoned mods like More Furniture, Tombstone, and Avaritia.

The reason was simple. More Furniture was mainly a decorative mod and wasn't particularly useful. He couldn't exactly rely on More Furniture when fighting in the Marvel world, could he?

Pull a chair out of the Alchemical Bag and beat people with it?

Give him a break...

Did he think he was Jackie Chan in a furniture store?

As for the Tombstone mod... honestly, although Fang Mo already knew his last words had been turned into a Modpack, and although he was currently in Survival Mode and could revive at his spawn point after dying, if it were you, would you really dare to try dying once?

And as for Avaritia.

Fang Mo subjectively wanted to play it, but the mod simply consumed too many resources.

What was more, its crafting recipes were basically Meng Po cooking shit—hellish beyond hellish. Without being able to view the recipes, it was completely unplayable.

After discarding several mods, Fang Mo finally sorted out a rough development path in his mind.

First, he was definitely going to play Mutant Creatures.

The Ender Hand was just too useful. Fang Mo figured he would first kill a few Mutant Ender Man Kings, then bring their Ender Hands with him the next time he went to the Marvel world and see whether they could strengthen his Ender Field.

Of course, the Mutant Zombie King's drops were also quite good.

The Giant's Hammer and such... having it clash head-on with Thor's Mjolnir sounded pretty interesting too.

And aside from Mutant Creatures.

The mod Fang Mo thought most highly of right now was Tinkers' Construct.

This mod added many powerful weapons and tools to the game, but that wasn't the most important thing. In fact, the most important thing was that it was genuinely easy to learn.

It had even thoughtfully given Fang Mo a Tinkers' Construct Smeltery.
