Thinking About Eating Farts

"Hmm? This is..."

Feeling the faint warmth inside his body, Fang Mo was stunned.

Ever since Fang Mo had awakened Stand-in Steve, he had not experienced this feeling for a long time due to his body becoming digitized.

"Could this thing actually work?"

Fang Mo eyed the puddle of green pulp on the floor suspiciously.

After Fang Mo had chewed them, the Essence Berries seemed to have lost their original vitality. The green pulp on the floor looked sticky and mushy, no longer possessing that dazzling, translucent appearance.

"..."

Fang Mo stared at the green goo on the ground and thought for a long time before finally making up his mind.

"Damn it! One more try!"

With a thought, Steve handed him another glittering cluster of Essence Berries.

Fang Mo took the Essence Berries, held his breath, and stuffed the entire cluster into his mouth. He did not even dare chew them. Tilting his head back, he swallowed whole.

After Fang Mo swallowed the Essence Berries, they turned directly into a stream of cool juice that flowed down his throat.

Then, an unusual sensation of strength welled up through his body.

It was like standing outside his girlfriend's apartment all night in the dead of winter and getting nowhere, only to plunge into a hot spring bath the next second. Slightly scalding water soaked through his entire body, melting away every trace of physical and mental exhaustion, replacing it with an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Fang Mo did not know whether his digitized body still had concepts such as muscles, blood, or cells.

But he could clearly feel that something inside him was cheering with joy, as though welcoming its rebirth. It was an incomparably wonderful feeling that made him unable to resist indulging in it.

The feeling came quickly and faded just as quickly.

After only a few minutes or so, the warmth inside Fang Mo gradually disappeared.

"..."

Fang Mo hesitated slightly.

He had to admit, that feeling just now was truly worth savoring.

But... getting addicted to sniffing farts was a serious problem. He had no idea why Essence Berries looked so beautiful yet tasted so disgusting. They were practically like Devil Fruits.

Still, disgusting as they tasted, they had confirmed Fang Mo's guess.

Essence Berries manifested in reality really could make him stronger.

Although he had only eaten one Essence Berry, Fang Mo could still feel that he had become a little stronger than before.

"Well, this is bad. I'm actually thinking about eating farts..."

At that thought, Fang Mo could not help facepalming. "Everyone laughs at Lao Ba, but everyone is Lao Ba..."

The Essence Berry Bushes in the MC world had a fairly high yield. This time alone, Fang Mo had brought over an entire stack of Essence Berry Bushes.

But when he thought about having to swallow an entire stack of something that tasted so vile, he still found it hard to accept.

So he repeatedly weighed the choice in his mind.

In the end, his desire for power overcame his taste buds' protests.

Fang Mo viciously pinched his nose shut, then began shoving handful after handful of Essence Berries into his mouth. Soon, the entire room echoed with horrifying swallowing sounds.

After stuffing himself full of Essence Berries, even Fang Mo was clearly having a hard time enduring it.

In the end, he had Steve take out two baked Potatoes. He chewed them while feeling the changes in his body.

He had to admit, after eating an entire stack of Essence Berries, Fang Mo's changes were quite obvious. He could clearly feel that surging sense of power within himself.

Right now, he felt stronger than ever before.

"Hmm, I should test it."

After thinking it over, Fang Mo decided to test it on a target. With a thought, he directly summoned Steve.

Having received the order, Steve silently placed a stone on the floor.

The next second, Fang Mo suddenly threw a lightning-fast punch. With a thunderous boom, the hard stone was instantly covered in countless deep cracks. Then, with a crash, it shattered apart. Countless fragments shot out like cannonballs, smashing the room's partitions to pieces.

Hearing the tremendous noise from this direction, a great many hurried footsteps soon sounded outside.

"What happened?"

Agent Coulson rushed in first. "Mr. Fang Mo! Are you all right?"

Hawkeye rushed in after him with his bow in hand. The moment he entered, he cautiously surveyed the surroundings as if searching for an enemy, his face filled with vigilance.

A group of agents soon flooded in as well, but they likewise found no enemy and looked utterly baffled.

"Did that guy come to attack us?"

Coulson looked around and seemed unable to find any signs of a fight. Confused, he turned to Fang Mo. "Mr. Fang Mo, did he... get away?"

"Uh, well..."

Fang Mo rubbed his chin. "I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet..."

"How can I not be?" Coulson asked nervously. "Did he come for the Hammer? How strong is he? Were you hurt?"

"I told you, I'm invincible."

Seeing how serious Coulson looked, Fang Mo felt a little embarrassed to keep teasing him. He explained, "Anyway, Thor hasn't come to steal the Hammer yet. This was a new Witchcraft spell I just developed: Flowing Rock Crushing Fist..."

"That name doesn't sound much like Witchcraft."

Hawkeye could not help saying, "Isn't that clearly martial arts?"

"Don't sweat the details." Fang Mo waved a hand. "Anything science can't explain is Witchcraft!"

"I thought that guy had shown up."

After hearing Fang Mo's explanation, Coulson finally relaxed somewhat. "After all, he calls himself Thor. I was really worried that he would fall straight from the sky, pick up his Hammer, blast us into ashes with lightning, and then fly away stylishly..."

"Don't worry. That guy's power is sealed right now. He's nothing."

Fang Mo smiled and reassured Coulson. "He's probably only a little stronger than an ordinary person. A gun could kill him, so you don't need to worry too much."

"His power is sealed inside this Hammer?"

Coulson curiously speculated, "So that's why he's been trying every possible way to get it back? Because only then can he regain his divine power?"

"Relax. He can't lift this Hammer."

Fang Mo said, "That guy got too full of himself and was punished by his dad. It's basically a trial of some kind. If he can't complete it, he won't be able to recover his divine power."

"Then why did he come here?" This time, Hawkeye could not help asking.

"He doesn't know any of that himself."

Fang Mo spread his hands. "Do you think everyone can tell fortunes? How many big shots like me are there in this world—those who understand heaven and earth, know yin and yang, foretell blessings and calamities, hear the voices of heaven above and reach the depths of the underworld below?"

"..."

Coulson did not even know what to say after hearing that.

Just then, however, an agent suddenly ran over and whispered a few words in his ear. Apparently, they had discovered a suspicious vehicle parked on a nearby hillside and were asking Coulson how to handle it.

"All right, now that guy really has come."

After hearing his subordinate's report, Coulson looked up and spoke directly to Fang Mo.
