Another Trait

"Hmm?"

After seeing the items in Steve's backpack, Fang Mo's face showed a trace of realization. "So that's how it works. That's the setting, huh?"

Yes, Fang Mo had figured it out now.

The blocks Steve absorbed into his body were just like Thor's Hammer from before. The item name was Dirt, but everything else, including the suffixes, was garbled text.

Fang Mo had Steve dig into the ground beside them again.

Soon, another perfectly square pit appeared in the ground, and Steve successfully picked up another dirt block. But this item was also full of garbled text, and more importantly... it couldn't even stack. Every dirt block took up a separate slot in the backpack.

Fang Mo carefully examined the two dirt blocks.

He found that the two blocks really were somewhat different. The first dirt block seemed to contain more Sand, while the second appeared to have tiny pebbles mixed into it.

Seeing this, Fang Mo had more or less figured out the principle behind it.

First of all, Steve's pickaxe was a Tinkers' Construct pickaxe reinforced with Fine Jewelry, and it came with the Silk Touch trait.

Fang Mo guessed that resources in the real world were not impossible to collect. They simply had to be mined with Silk Touch; otherwise, the blocks would only be destroyed, like digging snow barehanded in the game and getting nothing in return.

Besides that, real-world resources possessed uniqueness.

This was different from the MC world.

Items in the MC world were extremely pure. Gold blocks, Iron blocks, and the like all had 100% purity.

The same went for blocks like dirt and Sand.

In real-world terms, that meant blocks in the MC world possessed almost atomic-level repeatability. Every drop of liquid, every soil aggregate, even every tiny grain of dust had exactly the same internal structure. Only then could Steve's backpack stack them together.

But the real world was different.

If Steve started digging downward in New York, he would first dig up concrete and asphalt, then the soil layer, which would also be mixed with cables, pipes, construction debris...

Steve's backpack could not stack those things together because their internal data simply did not match.

They might both be dirt blocks, but one could be mixed with huge amounts of construction waste while the other was full of mud and Sand. How was Steve's backpack supposed to stack those two together? And how would it separate them afterward?

"Wonderful. I'm gradually beginning to understand everything."

After figuring all this out, Fang Mo immediately felt a surge of satisfaction. He had not expected to understand another one of Steve's traits.

"Looks like our Technical Consultant has grasped the secrets of Witchcraft."

Seeing Fang Mo's delighted expression, Nick Fury finally could not resist chiming in. "How does it feel? Want to say, 'My Divine Skill has reached perfection,' too?"

"Anyway, I did solve a problem."

Fang Mo was in such a good mood that he did not bother taking issue with Nick Fury's jab.

"You look like you're in a great mood." Nick Fury suggested, "Then let's discuss this Hammer again. I think you'd better not destroy it."

"It's just a lousy Hammer. I couldn't care less."

Fang Mo casually waved a hand. "No matter how awesome Thor's Hammer is, can it be more awesome than a Tinkers' Construct Hammer? Ever heard of the Infinity Hammer? One swing and it'll smash Pluto to pieces, scatter the planetary core everywhere..."

"And what terrifying thing is that?" Nick Fury asked, rubbing his forehead. "Is it also a weapon of those gods?"

"No."

Fang Mo shook his head. "It's mine."

"..."

Nick Fury fell silent for a moment. "...Are you sure?"

"Of course, though I can't make it yet." Fang Mo waved his hand. "That thing isn't something ordinary people can make. I've played MC for so long, and I've never seen any veteran dare grind Infinity by hand. You simply can't make that thing without an assembly-line setup..."

"It sounds like something very dangerous."

Nick Fury asked, "So this is your real goal, right? To create that wizard artifact called the Infinity Hammer?"

"Relax. I have no intention of becoming some big villain."

Fang Mo naturally understood Nick Fury's little concern. He smiled and reassured him, "I mainly came here to enjoy the evil capitalist lifestyle. Destroying the world and all that... there's absolutely no benefit in it. Other than brain-dead idiots, who would do something like that?"

"Aliens may not see it that way."

Nick Fury could not help retorting, "The struggle for interests across the universe is chilling. I've seen that terrifying sight with my own eyes. Honestly, they don't even need a reason to destroy us."

"While you're not wrong, can we really blame it all on those aliens?"

Fang Mo suddenly said.

"Why not?"

Nick Fury was somewhat puzzled. "If not them, then who? Are we supposed to blame ourselves for being too weak?"

"That's not what I mean."

Fang Mo shook his head, then slowly said, "Have you ever thought about it... with so many planets in the universe, why do villains always love invading Earth? Rather than blaming others, maybe reflect on yourselves. Maybe you usually act too obnoxious and draw the aliens' attention."

"That argument..."

Nick Fury's face darkened after hearing that. "I'm being serious here. Can you stop arguing just for the sake of it?"

"This isn't arguing for the sake of it."

Fang Mo said directly, "Of course I've heard of the Kree, but as far as I know, Earth really is the planet most vulnerable to invasion. After all, humanity keeps repeating the same mistakes. Didn't your agent training include history? You don't even understand something this basic?"

"That's why S.H.I.E.L.D. has to find ways to protect Earth."

Nick Fury immediately said.

"Oh, give me a break." Fang Mo laughed as soon as he heard that. "Your S.H.I.E.L.D. is practically being infiltrated into Serpent S.H.I.E.L.D. already, okay? Who knows how much of the gold I gave you will be swallowed by Hydra. How about I just catch you a live Hydra? There are plenty of those things in the Twilight Forest. Just raise it at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters... then you'll see exactly how many people salute Hydra every day."

"What did you say?"

At that, Nick Fury's pupils suddenly contracted.

Even Hawkeye, who had remained silent at the side, could not help frowning deeply.

"Are you sure what you said is true?"

Nick Fury was genuinely serious now. His entire presence seemed to change as he asked with a dark expression, "Is there any way to get a list of their members?"

"Getting a list, really?"

Fang Mo could not help mocking him. "Have you ever seen a fortune-teller predict the winning numbers for the next lottery drawing?"

"Then find a way to locate them first..."

Nick Fury frowned, but just as he opened his mouth to continue, the System Prompt sounded in Fang Mo's mind once again.
