[System prompt: Tinkers' Construct More Alloys Addon download complete, load now?]

Hearing this, Fang Mo automatically tuned out Nick Fury's words and silently confirmed in his mind.

[System prompt: Tinkers' Construct More Alloys Addon loaded successfully.]

[System prompt: Because you downloaded and ran a brand new mod, you have obtained a lucky block, which will randomly draw an item from any known mod.]

Accompanying the electronic sound in his mind.

A lucky block directly appeared in Steve's inventory.

Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately focused his attention on the lucky block. As a player, he definitely couldn't resist the temptation of gacha and loot boxes.

However, Fang Mo was about to enjoy his lucky draw.

But Nick Fury was not doing so well. Fang Mo's habit of stopping mid-sentence was truly wicked.

His mind was filled with the fact that his home base had been overrun by Hydra agents. What made him even angrier was that he still had to pay them. The thought made him restless.

"Can you find a way to get information about their leader?"

Nick Fury couldn't help but ask, "Like his name, what he looks like, or his position. I'll find a way to investigate myself."

"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."

Fang Mo was busy with the lucky draw and had no intention of paying attention to the other person. At this moment, he directly had Steve right-click to open the lucky block.

However, perhaps due to Nick Fury's resentment, after a flash of white light, Steve did not receive any artifact of equivalent exchange in his hand. Instead, a U-shaped magnet appeared.

"Huh? What is this..."

Fang Mo was stunned and immediately checked the item.

It was an item called a mineral magnet. Fang Mo recognized it because it was an item from Twilight Forest, his favorite mod.

Its function...

Was to right-click on the ground and suck ores buried underground to the surface.

At first glance, it sounded quite powerful, being able to attract ore.

However, this thing actually had durability. After a few uses, the entire magnet would explode. Moreover, its suction range was very small, only able to pull up a few iron ores at a time.

If he were to rank useless items in the MC world, this thing would definitely be T0 tier.

It was truly the king of trash.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but curse.

The next second, as if remembering something, Fang Mo directly looked up at Nick Fury in front of him.

"It must have been you."

Fang Mo stared at Nick Fury's dark, egg-like face and couldn't help but rub his forehead. "I knew it, drawing cards next to an African would turn me into someone without luck. I really should have prayed more next time..."

"You seem to have failed at something again."

Nick Fury said, "According to your Eastern saying, this is the price for revealing heavenly secrets?"

"I've revealed heavenly secrets more than once or twice. If I were to face retribution, the heavens would have struck me down with lightning long ago." Fang Mo rolled his eyes. "Judging by my constant spoiling, it's clear this can no longer be called revealing heavenly secrets. I'm practically poking the heavens' backside with a stick..."

"So, what you said earlier, is it true?"

Nick Fury was clearly very bothered by the previous topic and repeatedly asked, "Are there really many Hydra agents lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.? Do you have any evidence?"

"Would you believe everything I say?"

Fang Mo asked curiously.

"It's at least worth considering."

Nick Fury was straightforward and told the truth. "We've analyzed your personality. You never tell meaningless lies."

"Oh? You've analyzed my personality?"

Hearing this, Fang Mo became a little interested. "Tell me about it."

"Belligerent, attention-seeking, holds grudges." Nick Fury said, "According to the analysis reports from multiple psychological agents, you are an extremely arrogant and conceited person with no mercy for your enemies. However, because of this, you disdain lying and wouldn't resort to schemes. Of course, it's not impossible that you are planning something huge, like destroying the world."

"I've already said I'm not interested in destroying the world."

Fang Mo rolled his eyes. "What's good about killing everyone? I wouldn't be able to spend my tens of thousands of gold coins anywhere, so it's better to keep them and enjoy the sinful life of capitalism..."

"If you have too much money to spend, you can give me a few more gold coins."

Nick Fury glanced at Fang Mo and couldn't help but say.

"No, even if a sugar baby asks her sugar daddy for money, shouldn't she at least send a couple of selfies first?" Fang Mo said, "You just open your mouth and ask for money... Even your own child wouldn't get this treatment, right?"

"Then what do you want? Should I send you a couple of selfies too?"

Nick Fury asked.

"Get lost." Fang Mo imagined the scene and felt like he was going to die. "If you have nothing else to do, go back and catch Hydra. Don't disturb my study of witchcraft."

As it turned out, Nick Fury was indeed very busy.

After failing to get any information from Fang Mo, he quickly departed in a Harrier jet.

This was quite similar to the original story. After all, the only agents present in Thor were Agent Coulson and Hawkeye. Nick Fury was probably busy with other matters, like looking after Captain America, who had just woken up. If Fang Mo hadn't contacted him this time, he likely wouldn't have shown up at all.

After Nick Fury left, Fang Mo found himself a room nearby.

He had nothing else to do, so it was a good opportunity to interact with Thor and, at the same time, continue his experiments on materializing MC items.

Soon, the night passed.

The next morning, Coulson arrived to find Fang Mo with a large stack of documents.

"Mr. Fang Mo, we've found some clues."

Coulson handed the documents to Fang Mo. "The nearby Old Bridge Town has limited police resources and no surveillance cameras. However, we received a report this morning about a strange man who tried to buy a horse at a pet store. He had also previously injured hospital staff, and after drinking his coffee, he slammed the cup to the ground..."

"That's him."

Fang Mo nodded. "Have you caught him?"

"That guy is fast."

Coulson shook his head. "But following the Director's orders, we've spread information about the hammer. If that guy... uh, if he really is Thor, he should come here soon after hearing the news."

There was a slight plot hole in the previous chapter, which has been slightly modified. Friends whose plotlines feel inconsistent can refresh the previous chapter.
