"This..."

Seeing the Bifrost completely intact, Thor's jaw nearly dropped. "No, it's fixed already?"

"This thing wasn't broken in the first place."

Fang Mo shrugged.

"Huh?"

As Fang Mo moved, Thor suddenly noticed the dagger on his chest and froze slightly. "What's going on with you? Did Loki... again?"

"Kids can be foolish, it's no big deal."

Fang Mo said as he pulled the dagger from his chest and casually tossed it aside. "The atmosphere was a bit tense just now, but after I had a heart-to-heart talk with him, we're good friends now."

"...Really?"

Thor looked at Loki with suspicion.

"Of course, brother." Loki quickly nodded at the sight. "Fang Mo and I hit it off immediately, feeling like we've known each other for ages. We're close friends now."

"You're not playing any tricks, are you?"

Thor seemed a bit unconvinced and asked again.

"How could I possibly be?" Loki spread his hands with a look of sincerity. "I've truly repented. You have to believe your brother."

"Alright."

Thor still felt something was off, but he didn't dwell on it. "The Teleportation Chamber is damaged, so the Bifrost's teleportation function is temporarily unusable. Loki, you've caused such a huge mess while I was away, I have to report this to Father."

"Father isn't awake yet. I think we can find another way to resolve this."

Upon hearing this, Loki offered an awkward yet polite smile. "Brother, what if we tell Mother? After all, Father... he's been through so much. We shouldn't bother him all the time."

"Mother won't forgive you either."

Thor rolled his eyes. "Do you really think destroying Jotunheim is a small matter?"

"I'm just using you as an example." Loki never held back when speaking to his unfortunate brother. "Didn't you defeat them with your bare hands back then? What's with this new attitude? Have you really thrown away all your past bravery and glory?"

"I..."

Thor was momentarily speechless. Yes, he had indeed been like that before being banished to Earth. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Brother, I've changed."

"Oh, what a coincidence."

Loki smiled. "So have I."

While the two were bickering, a large number of soldiers soon rushed over from the other side of the Bifrost, surrounding Thor and Loki.

Seeing this, Loki seemed about to say something, but then a green light flashed, and Frigga's illusionary clone stood directly before them. Loki had just been using Frigga as an excuse, but upon actually seeing her, he immediately fell silent, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Mother."

At this critical moment, Thor stepped forward instead. "Everything has been resolved. Please don't worry."

"Come to Odin's chambers."

In front of the guards, Frigga couldn't say much. She directly commanded, "I have something to say to you both."

What happened next was quite simple.

It was essentially a child misbehaving, followed by parental scolding.

However, Fang Mo was too lazy to get involved, so he simply greeted Frigga. She was very accommodating and had the Asgardian Warriors escort him to arrange his accommodations.

It couldn't be helped. Although the Bifrost wasn't broken, the Teleportation Chamber was truly on its last legs. The thing had been spinning at an insane speed before, and then Fang Mo's Cleaver hit it. It was a miracle it hadn't exploded. Repairing it would take a few days, so Fang Mo would have to stay in Asgard temporarily.

Of course, staying in Asgard for a few days was indeed Fang Mo's objective.

This place was practically a mod paradise. In just a short while, Fang Mo had already discovered five mods. This was simply too awesome.

Since Loki and Thor didn't destroy the Bifrost as in the original story, Odin didn't wake up early to save his sons. He only appeared in the palace on the third day to start handling various matters and clean up the mess his two precious sons had left behind.

In addition, Odin also met with Fang Mo in private.

Perhaps it was because he helped resolve the mess between Loki and Thor, or because he gave Frigga an Enchanted Golden Apple, but Odin's attitude towards Fang Mo was quite polite now.

As for Fang Mo.

He also expressed his requests to Odin.

That is, he wanted to freely touch and dig around in the palace. After all, he had already paid for the ticket, and he wouldn't break anything. Odin probably thought Fang Mo was a mage from Midgard and might be interested in the unknown, so he nodded in agreement.

After several days of research, Fang Mo successfully unlocked two more mods.

One was unlocked by touching monsters in Asgard's wild forests, and it seemed to be called the Gaia Lexicon mod. The other was unlocked while drinking with Thor and the Asgardian Warriors, leading to the Pam's HarvestCraft Drinks mod.

As for Loki.

Fang Mo took some time to visit the dungeon.

After Loki demonstrated his storage spells several times, Fang Mo's system notification finally chimed, unlocking a mod called Extra Large Backpack.

However, it was worth noting.

This mod was different from the other mods Fang Mo had unlocked previously.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of mods add extra items to the game. Take IndustrialCraft, Botania, or Thaumcraft, for example. They all add entirely new processes, items, and gameplay mechanics to the game.

However, there are also a small number of lightweight mods that simply add a certain function to the game without introducing any new items.

The most typical example of this is the MiniMap Mod.

Besides that, mods like highlight display, chain mining, monster girl conversion, faster leaf decay, and recipe viewing mods are all similar.

They don't add any items to the game, but they still make things more convenient for players.

As for the Extra Large Backpack mod that Fang Mo has now unlocked, it's actually one of these lightweight mods.

It doesn't add any items to the game, but it does introduce a feature that allows Steve to increase his backpack capacity by consuming experience points. It can even increase Steve's backpack capacity by more than ten times, which is truly a very convenient function.

However, for Fang Mo, if this mod only had this function, it wouldn't be enough to shock him.

In fact, what truly caught Fang Mo off guard was...

That after loading this mod, a space suddenly appeared out of nowhere in his mind.
