Chapter 643: Mod go Brrrr!

Chapter 643: Mod go Brrrr!

When Fang Mo reluctantly dragged Xiao Yao to a research base of Metal Knight, he finally realized just how deeply this seemingly unserious character had concealed his true capabilities.

Initially, Fang Mo thought Dr. Genus' House of Evolution was already quite extensive. However, after circling Metal Knight's base a few times, Fang Mo found that the House of Evolution and even the previous Monster Association were nothing but child's play in comparison to Metal Knight's underground base.

Despite Metal Knight's deeply hidden power, he was surprisingly cautious. Even during the current tour of the base, he was remotely controlling a robot.

As they toured, Fang Mo discovered that Metal Knight's stockpile was vast, not just in terms of weapons but also in a complete set of resources to rebuild civilization, including various factories, infrastructure, and advanced equipment.

According to Metal Knight, he had prepared these resources to take over the world. However, his concept of world domination was not through force like an evil scientist, but rather as a genuine hero. He aimed to step in and restore order and civilization after a world-ending catastrophe, such as a god-level disaster, as predicted by Shibabawa.

Fang Mo found himself unexpectedly agreeing with Metal Knight's perspective, acknowledging that some problems could only be solved by a complete overhaul of the current system.

Due to their shared views, Fang Mo and Metal Knight started conversing. Meanwhile, Fang Mo's reluctant partner, who was initially dragged away from an exciting game, had a change in attitude upon entering the base. The dim lighting of the base made her eyes shine with excitement.

"This base is amazing," Xiao Yao frequently exclaimed. "Clear divisions, simple wiring, nearly perfect functionality—this is the charm of industrial technology."

Fang Mo, overhearing this, facepalmed. Despite just being a dabbler in the Minecraft world and not a real scientist, his partner's interests aligned with Metal Knight's, both enjoying building fully functional underground bases.

"So, who is this person to you?" Metal Knight asked, intrigued by Xiao Yao.

"Oh, she's my wife," Fang Mo calmly introduced her.

"..." Metal Knight was momentarily silent, then observed Xiao Yao with his robotic eyes. "I thought she was your daughter. I see this is your standard for choosing a partner. This explains why you..."

Before he could finish, Fang Mo suddenly yelled while pressing his hand against a machine, "Unlock, my module!"

Nothing happened.

"...What are you doing?" Xiao Yao, startled, looked at Fang Mo in confusion, as did Metal Knight.

"Just trying something," Fang Mo calmly explained. "I had a feeling I could unlock a module."

"You're crazy," Xiao Yao retorted, lightly punching Fang Mo. She had been engrossed in the surrounding high-tech items and hadn't heard Metal Knight's earlier comment.

"Oh, I won't do it again," Fang Mo replied, then shot a warning look at Metal Knight to keep quiet.

Metal Knight noticed but did not respond.

The rest of the visit followed a similar pattern. Led by Metal Knight, they explored the base. Fang Mo attempted to unlock technology modules, thinking they would be the best gift for his partner. After all, technological modules would solve many problems, like mining resources.

After some exploration, they unlocked several modules: Architecture, Box Mover, Railway, Immersive Petroleum, Large Veins, Ender Storage, and Industrial Age Reactor Turbine Extension—seven modules in total.

Fang Mo felt it was a substantial and satisfactory outcome.

However, after the two of them studied it a bit more seriously, they found that these modules weren't all technology-oriented. There were some strange things mixed in.

First, there was the building module.

It could be considered a classic module.

Strictly speaking, it also had some technological content. For example, the oil well block that Fang Mo had drawn earlier came from this module. In addition, this module included tools like quarries that could dig out chunks and liquid pumps that could drain the Nether, making it overall quite decent.

The railway module was also pretty good, a classic large-scale tech/decorative module.

Although the essence of this module was railway transport and logistics, to be honest, the most well-known item in the server was a block-like item, the World Anchor.

Of course, according to that little gadget's story.

After Fang Mo was killed, this item seemed to have been renamed to Realm Anchor.

Besides that, the railway module also had grindstones, void chests, coke ovens, blast furnaces, and flint, among other things.

Yes, literally, creating mines.

Fang Mo found that as long as he wanted to, by touching the ground, he could somewhat control, influence, modify, or even generate a vein from nothing.

This was utterly absurd.

Frankly, when Fang Mo realized this ability, he almost got carried away.

This was infinite mining. If resources could be transported back to the MC world, wouldn't endless ingots be crafted in no time?

However, he quickly calmed down, recalling his alter ego Steve's characteristics. Resources couldn't be transported back; even if blocks were forcibly put into Steve's backpack, the workbench there couldn't recognize them, rendering them useless.

Thinking of this.

Fang Mo couldn't help but sigh.

He shook his head, not bothering to explain this to Xiao Yao.

Normally, Xiao Yao, being a player too, should have the same abilities as him, but after unlocking these functional modules.

It seemed only Fang Mo could instantly understand how to use these functions.

Honestly, even he didn't understand why this was the case... Perhaps it was a server owner privilege?

Overall, the exploration of the Metal Knight's base this time.

The harvest was quite good.

However, the base was too large, and after touring it, it was already late, so Fang Mo decided not to stay longer and started trading directly.

Towards the Metal Knight, Fang Mo generously gave him some gadgets. These things might not mean much to him, but they could violate the laws of physics or give scientists a headache.

The Metal Knight would likely lose a few brain cells trying to figure them out.

After the trade, Fang Mo couldn't be bothered to talk further. Apparently, the Metal Knight felt the same, eagerly wanting him to leave, likely a common trait among scientists who get engrossed in interesting research items.

So Fang Mo straightforwardly initiated the return.

But this time, he didn't use that creepy portal.

Fang Mo couldn't understand why his deviations were so significant; he feared that next time he might teleport inside someone, especially dragging Xiao Yao along, which was even less acceptable.

So decisively.

Fang Mo took the little thing and returned to the Pure White Space, planning to traverse back to KING's apartment through the dimensional gate.

However, to Fang Mo's surprise.

When he returned to the villa in the Pure White Space to traverse the dimensional gate.

He found a large group already partying there, with someone even hanging a banner on a tree saying, "Warmly celebrate the priest's resignation."
