Overnight Clearance of the Original Survival

After wasting a long stretch of time and a mountain of ore, Fang Mo finally managed to craft a set of Tinkers' Construct tools.

The set wasn't all that extensive—just a Broadsword, a Pickaxe, a Shovel, a Hammer, and a Lumber Axe—but even so, Fang Mo was perfectly satisfied.

After all, when it came to crafting and smelting, Fang Mo really had no patience for it.

To put it in Fang Mo's own words, this shit simply wasn't something a normal person would willingly play. No matter how hard he racked his brain, Fang Mo couldn't figure out why his friends and partners had once been so obsessed with this kind of thing. Were they just mentally ill or something?

To be fair, Fang Mo had poured everything into making this set of tools.

He'd nearly burned himself out completely.

Even though Tinkers' Construct had thoughtfully given him a tutorial guide, some alloys weren't mentioned in the book at all, so Fang Mo, tackling this for the first time, still ended up completely dizzy.

To the point where he even started having hallucinations.

Open the book: Aluminum Brass.

Close the book: Aluminum Spirit.

Open the book: Aluminum Brass.

Close the book: Manyullyn.

While pouring: Aluminum Brass.

After pouring: Aluminum-Containing Brass.

This honestly made Fang Mo sick to his stomach. He was numb for days, and for the next several days he didn't touch the crafting table at all.

That's not to say he was slacking off, though.

In fact, Fang Mo had spent those days gathering resources needed to build a house.

Earlier, while making the Tinkers' Construct tools, he'd already gone to the Nether once to find Cobalt and Ardite, so in his mind, he'd already passed the early game. With plenty of resources on hand, it was time to build himself a nice big house.

After all, staying cooped up in this dark basement was only making his mood worse.

To be honest, Fang Mo wasn't really good at building.

But how should he put it...

Building a house was still better than studying the crafting recipes, right?

Choosing the lesser of two evils, Fang Mo decided he'd just go build a house. Even if it ended up as a plain old box, so what? There was only him alive in this world anyway—no one was going to laugh at him.

No sooner said than done.

Fang Mo immediately made Steve start working.

But even though he was going to build a house, he still had to level the terrain first.

The place Fang Mo was in had originally been a forest, but by now he'd chopped down most of the trees, and the terrain had turned into something like a small hill. What Fang Mo needed to do now was dig away the high spots and fill in the low ones.

Simply put, he had to flatten out a large area first.

This was no small task.

Luckily, Fang Mo now had his Tinkers' Construct tools. His Pickaxe used Aluminum Brass for the handle and a Cobalt binding—Cobalt's natural lightweight property made his tools much faster.

As for Aluminum Brass...

This pink alloy, smelted from Obsidian, Aluminum, and Iron, came with the Durability III trait.

Fang Mo applied two Durability enchantments to the tool, giving it a total of five levels of Durability, which evolved it into an unbreakable property. No matter how roughly he used it, it would never consume durability again.

With this set of gear that never wore out, Fang Mo quickly flattened a huge area.

After that, he fenced off the entire flat area with Fence, stuck Torches everywhere inside, and then began building the house structure bit by bit.

Fang Mo planned to build a two-story building with an attic and two basement levels.

But his architectural talent was really lacking. After consuming a huge pile 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 were probably better looking than this.

But Fang Mo didn't mind. In fact, he was quite proud of the big house he'd built with his own hands. Humming a little tune, he moved everything from the basement into the new house.

He also cleared three farm plots outside and planted them all with Potatoes.

The Potatoes came from killing Zombies. At first he only had one or two, but since his inventory was full of Bones dropped by Skeletons, he just used Bone Meal to speed-grow them. After a few rounds of planting and harvesting, he had three big Potato fields.

After finishing all that, Fang Mo finally set his sights on the boss of this world.

Fang Mo might not be good at crafting, but when it came to combat, he was definitely one of the top players on the server.

The first to suffer was the Wither.

Fang Mo specially crafted a Manyullyn Cleaver and reinforced it three times with Holy Soil to get the Undead Slayer effect.

After that, he used the Brewing Stand to brew a few potions and chugged them down.

After the Wither was summoned, it couldn't even last a few minutes before Steve stabbed it through the chest with one strike. It shrieked and turned to ash, leaving behind only a single shimmering Nether Star.

After dealing with the Wither, Fang Mo immediately set off to find the End Stronghold.

Not long after, 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, hiding beneath it as he slaughtered Endermen relentlessly.

To be honest, Ender Pearls weren't all that useful to Fang Mo at this point, but he'd gotten used to doing this. Back when he played on servers, after taking down the Ender Dragon, his partner would always trouble him to bring back some Ender Pearls. Fang Mo never really understood what they were for, but he figured some mods probably needed them. Anyway, he'd just gather them now, just in case.

What if he later unlocked some mod that required Ender Pearls?

Thanks to the game mechanics, the Endermen couldn't attack Fang Mo beneath the platform, so he quickly collected several stacks of Ender Pearls.

After that, Fang Mo headed to the End City.

He killed a bunch of Shulkers, then grabbed the Elytra from the End Ship.

At this point, the entire vanilla MC world had been thoroughly conquered by Fang Mo. Aside from the crafting recipes, nothing dared to oppose him.

Stowing the last Sculk Shell into his Alchemical Bag, Fang Mo looked up at his surroundings.

The void at noon was still dim, countless Endermen wandering aimlessly on this lonely island. For some reason, a feeling called loneliness suddenly rose in Fang Mo's heart.

He had painstakingly built the Smeltery and crafted himself a set of powerful gear.

He had his own big house, his own Potato Farm.

His Alchemical Bag was now stuffed 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.
