After wasting a long time and a huge pile of ores,
Fang Mo finally succeeded in making himself a set of Tinkers' Construct Tools.
There were not actually many tools in the set—just a Broadsword, pickaxe, Shovel, Hammer, and Lumber Axe—but even so, Fang Mo was already completely satisfied.
After all, Fang Mo truly had no patience for crafting and assembling things.
In Fang Mo's words, who the hell would consider this normal-person gameplay? Even if he racked his brains, he could not understand why his friends and teammates had enjoyed this stuff so much back then. Was there something seriously wrong with their heads?
Honestly, just to make this set of tools,
Fang Mo had nearly burned himself out.
Even though Tinkers' Construct thoughtfully gave him a tutorial guidebook, some alloys were not mentioned in the book. Since it was Fang Mo's first time researching them, he still ended up utterly confused.
To the point that he was even starting to have hallucinations.
Open the book: Aluminum Brass.
Close the book: Aluminum Spirit.
Open the book: Aluminum Brass.
Close the book: Manyullyn Aluminum.
While casting: Aluminum Brass.
After casting: Aluminum Brass.
It disgusted Fang Mo so badly that he practically wanted to vomit. He had been numb for days, so much so that he did not touch the crafting table at all over the next several days.
That did not mean he had been slacking off the whole time, though.
In fact, Fang Mo had been collecting the resources needed to build a house these past few days.
When he had made his Tinkers' Construct Tools earlier, Fang Mo had already gone to the Nether once to find Cobalt and Ardite. In his view, he had now made it through the early game. With resources in abundance, it was time to build himself a nice big house.
After all, continuing to live in that dark basement would only make him feel worse.
To be honest, Fang Mo was not actually good at building.
But how should he put it...
Building a house was still better than studying crafting recipes, right?
Choosing the lesser evil, Fang Mo decided he would go build a house. So what if it was just a matchbox? He was the only living person in this world anyway. Surely nobody would laugh at him.
As soon as he decided, he got to work.
Fang Mo immediately controlled Steve and started working.
Although he was going to build a house, he first needed to level out the terrain.
The place Fang Mo had been living in was originally a forest, but he had almost completely cut it down by now. The terrain had turned into something like a small hill, and what Fang Mo needed to do was dig away the high spots and fill in the low ones.
Simply put, he needed to make a large flat stretch of ground first.
This was no small project.
Fortunately, Fang Mo now had Tinkers' Construct Tools. His pickaxe used Aluminum Brass as its Tool Rod and had a Cobalt Binding installed. Cobalt's innate lightness gave his tool greater efficiency.
As for Aluminum Brass...
This pink alloy, smelted from Obsidian, Aluminum, and Iron, came with Durability III by default.
Fang Mo then added the Durability enchantment to the tool twice, giving it Unbreaking V. It had directly evolved into an indestructible attribute; no matter how roughly Fang Mo used it, it would no longer lose durability.
With this set of equipment that simply would not lose durability, Fang Mo quickly leveled a large area of land.
Afterward, he surrounded the entire flat area with Fences and filled it with Torches before slowly beginning construction on the main house.
Fang Mo planned to build himself a two-story structure with an attic and two basement levels.
However, his talent for building was truly lacking. After using up a huge amount of Planks, stone, and Stone Slabs, the house was finished—but its appearance was honestly hard to praise.
How should he put it...
Even the houses built by Villagers might have looked better than this.
But Fang Mo did not dislike it at all. Instead, he greatly admired the big house he had built with his own hands. Humming a little tune, he moved everything from the basement into the new house.
He also cleared three plots of farmland outside and planted them full of Potatoes.
The Potatoes had dropped from Zombies Fang Mo killed. He had originally only had one or two, but his inventory held a huge pile of bones dropped by Skeletons, so he simply used Bone Meal to speed their growth. After several rounds of planting, he had three large potato fields.
Once all that was done, Fang Mo finally turned his attention to the bosses of this world.
Fang Mo might not have been good at crafting, but when it came to combat, he was absolutely one of the top players on the server.
The first to suffer was the Wither.
Fang Mo specifically made a Manyullyn Cleaver, then reinforced its blade three times with Holy Soil to gain the Undead Slayer effect.
After that, he brewed several potions using the Brewing Stand and gulped them down.
After the Wither was summoned, it did not even last a few minutes before Steve stabbed straight through its chest with one blow. It screamed as it turned to ash, leaving behind only a crystalline, gleaming Nether Star.
After dealing with the Wither, Fang Mo immediately began searching for an End Stronghold.
Before long, the Ender Dragon followed in the Wither's footsteps.
Fang Mo used a piston to take the Dragon Egg, then built a two-block-high platform on the End Island and hid beneath it as he slaughtered Endermen like mad.
In truth, Ender Pearls were not very useful to Fang Mo now, but he was already used to doing this. Every time he defeated the Ender Dragon on the server before, his teammates would always ask him to bring back some Ender Pearls. Fang Mo did not understand what they were for, but he guessed some mods probably used them. In any case, he might as well gather some now in case he needed them later.
What if he unlocked a mod that required Ender Pearls in the future?
Because of their characteristics, the Endermen could not attack Fang Mo beneath the platform, so he quickly collected several stacks of Ender Pearls.
Afterward, Fang Mo headed to an End City.
He first killed a huge number of Shulkers, then took an Elytra from an End Ship.
At this point, Fang Mo had thoroughly conquered the entire vanilla MC world. Other than crafting recipes, nothing remained that dared stand against him.
After putting the last Sculk Shell into his Alchemical Bag, Fang Mo raised his head and looked around.
The void at noon was still dim. Countless Endermen wandered and roamed across this isolated island. For some reason, an emotion called loneliness suddenly rose within Fang Mo's heart.
He had painstakingly built a Smeltery and made himself a powerful set of equipment.
He had his own big house and a Potato Farm.
His Alchemical Bag was already filled with all kinds of rare materials: Gold Ingots, Diamonds, Ender Pearls, Nether Stars, Elytra, even a Dragon Egg and Sculk Shells.
But this time, there was no one left to be happy for him.
