Chapter 183: Steve Chapter 182
Fang Mo never imagined this.
He actually found two Book of Ages in a dungeon chest.
After all, the drop rate of this item is too low. Apart from the dungeon chests, whether it's the various chests of the Twilight or any other chests, Fang Mo had never seen a trace of this thing.
Fang Mo even doubted whether this item had been modified.
But today, he was quite lucky.
These two Book of Ages.
One of them has the word 'BLEACH' written on it.
As for the other one, it has the English letters 'JOJO' written on it.
"Wow!"
Upon seeing these two Book of Ages, Fang Mo was instantly shocked.
Thanks to the localization mod, he instantly understood the meaning of the first Era book. Although the original meaning of the word should be something like "bleach", who hasn't heard of the famous 'Big 3'?
And this Era book named BLEACH.
Corresponds to the world of Soul Reapers (Shinigami).
"Amazing! Shinigami!"
Upon seeing this book, Fang Mo immediately set an ambitious goal for himself: "I've decided, I'll personally hand over hair gel to Aizen!"
Of course, apart from this Era book of the Shinigami world.
Fang Mo also saw another book.
However...
I believe there's no need to introduce the four letters 'JOJO' too much, right?
Steve's concept of 'Stand' and the stand users that Fang Mo often mentions actually derive from this anime.
Unlike other anime, this anime spans a vast period of time internally. The concept of 'Stand' only starts to appear in the third part. Before that, the anime is more about the epic battles between humans and vampires, and the ultimate beings.
Some people are not interested in this anime because of its unique art style.
But whether it's the famous quotes or the iconic scenes, many netizens have heard of them.
Phrases like 'I'm throwing away my Humanity, Jojo, 'Ora Ora', 'ordinary office worker', 'Oh, you're approaching me', 'But I refuse', 'Old man, your stand is the most useless', 'Do you remember how many breads you've eaten', 'Za Warudo' and such memes are really everywhere.
"Tsk... It feels like both of these worlds are quite fun."
Fang Mo looked at the two books in Steve's backpack, feeling a bit indecisive for a moment.
The JOJO world is more fun to mess around in.
Judging by the nature of the time-traveling books Fang Mo used before, he probably would start with the first generation JOJO, which is Jonathan Joestar, and progress the storyline from there. Perhaps he could even tease a young Dio Brando.
For example, performing a castration surgery on him, becoming the greatest fear in his heart.
In fact, Fang Mo quite likes Dio, the villain. He's very thoroughly evil and possesses the unique charm of a villain. But... his liking for Dio has nothing to do with wanting to see Dio suffer, right?
Besides, the JOJO world has the advantage of a more compact storyline.
Typically, each season of JOJO covers a short period, like the first season's battle against vampires, or the second season's fight against ultimate beings, or the third season's trip to Egypt. These plots last a few days to a few months at most. With Fang Mo's patience, he can easily follow along with the storyline.
Once the story concludes, he can comfortably return to the MC world.
When he re-enters the JOJO world next time, it will probably be about the stories of the new generation of JOJOs, and he can enjoy another full round of the plot.
As for the world of "Bleach" (translated as "Death God" here).
Honestly, the fun in the Bleach world isn't as much as JOJO's.
But...
Bleach is damn cool!
Who didn't want to chant a kido spell or perform a bankai during their adolescent years?
In terms of coolness, Tite Kubo never bowed to anyone. Drawing comics is just for fun, but writing poetry is the real goal.
Because of this excessive emphasis on style and coolness, many netizens joke that the characters in Bleach don't fight with spiritual pressure, but with their sense of fashion. Whoever shows their big move first loses. Thinking about it, it seems to make sense.
Fang Mo really wants to give Aizen some hair gel.
Or help Tosen pick at his eyes, letting Steve try clicking left and right buttons on Komamura with a bone.
Among the three anime series "Big 3", the boss with the most oppressive aura is definitely Aizen. Maybe other bosses are stronger, but when it comes to showing off, no one can compete with him.
"Damn, why is it so hard to choose?"
Looking at the two books of time, Fang Mo was genuinely torn.
Both worlds have what he wants.
One is the Stand Arrow (translated as "insect arrow" here).
The other is the Hogyoku (translated as "burst orb" here).
The significance of these two items to their worlds is comparable to the Ten Tails' impact on the Naruto world.
With such great items, Fang Mo definitely won't miss them.
But which one to collect first?
Fang Mo hasn't decided.
"Forget it, I'll decide later."
Unable to make a decision, Fang Mo decided to set it aside for now.
There's still a lot to do in the current MC world. After returning several times before, Fang Mo's mentality has gradually settled and become stable. He's not in a hurry to go to a new world.
He carefully stored the two time-traveling books.
Fang Mo quickly resumed his work.
Steve is currently still mining furiously in the underworld. Of course, he's mainly mining for new Tinker Construct materials, and incidentally bringing back some stones as building materials.
It can't be helped.
Large assembly lines just use up a lot of materials.
The Minotaur Tower is the easiest to build. Place the monster spawning cage, then use water to push the monsters down. In the center of the tower, Fang Mo made a simple sticky piston device that can trap monsters there.
If you want to spawn monsters manually, just open the piston. A stone will block the central passage, so the Minotaur will stand on this stone and then be mercilessly slaughtered by Steve.
Of course, you can also spawn monsters automatically.
Just close the piston and the stone disappears. The structure below is somewhat similar to an iron golem farming machine, but considering the characteristics of the Minotaur, which floats in lava, Fang Mo thought about it and replaced the lava with Flame Flowers from various biomes.
This flower, harvested from the Nether, burns everything that steps on it, but it doesn't burn the items they drop.
It's a typical situation of "you step on me today, I step on you tomorrow."
Thus, the Minotaurs are like being thrown into hell, being burned alive in fiery hell, suffering immensely before being allowed to die in pain.
After being roasted, the meat that falls off these Minotaurs is cooked.
This also saves Fang Mo a significant amount of coal expenditure.
Besides the Minotaur Tower,
Fang Mo also replicated the iron golem machine using Tower golems from high towers.
He had no choice, after all, these villagers began summoning various underworld puppets, so Fang Mo had to find a way to get a lot of iron from elsewhere.
Of course, the same goes for Redcap Goblins.
These creatures can spawn coal and also iron. Although the iron-spawning rate is low, they produce a lot of coal, so it feels like killing two birds with one stone.
Last but not least,
The mini-phantom monster spawner.
Fang Mo was almost driven crazy by this thing.
It's called a mini-phantom, but in reality, it's just a super scaled-down version of the Twilight Wraith. They fly around aimlessly in the sky, and gathering them together for the kill is too hard.
If they were as big as the original wraiths it would be okay, but these creatures are too small. They don't get stuck easily, and they have a wide spawning range. If the spawning tower is too small, they spawn outside and fly everywhere, truly giving Fang Mo a headache.
Fortunately, in the end, Fang Mo thought of a devious method.
Fill the monster cage with damage-inflicting blocks.
Like Twilight Thorns.
Some people might think that Twilight Thorns cannot be mined, but don't forget, Fang Mo has the Box of the World, which can collect some of the Twilight Thorns.
Using the characteristic of Twilight Thorns, which can spread infinitely when mined, Fang Mo filled the spawning room with thorns and then burned the excess parts with Lamp of Cinders one by one.
This way, many vertical thorns were created in the spawning room, each separated by a few blocks.
Small Twilight Wraiths, when they spawn, will fly aimlessly in the sky and then get stuck on these thorn columns. In a few seconds, they will be killed by the thorns, and their drops will be collected by water streams into a funnel and finally stored in a box.
It's said that playing too much with redstone will make you lose your humanity.
But Fang Mo refuted this with his own actions.
He stated that losing humanity has nothing to do with redstone. If you stay in the MC world for a long time, you'll lose your humanity sooner or later.
For adventurous players like Fang Mo,
Making him study redstone technology would be more painful than killing him.
Anyway, using his own crude methods, Fang Mo made several monster spawners without redstone structures. He happily read the updated Tinker Construct Manual while listening to the various monsters' screams and cries.
He read it for three full days.
Even Fang Mo was a bit shocked.
There were too many updates in the Nidavellir Tinker Construct add-on, and now even he was a bit confused.
Just the metallurgy mod alone added thirty-four new materials to Tinker Construct, many of which are alloys, which overwhelmed Fang Mo.
Moreover,
Because of various Tinker Construct integrations,
Fang Mo's Tinker Construct tools can now not only be upgraded automatically or manually without limits but are also compatible with materials from almost all mods.
Not to mention the Twilight Forest, there are Naga Scales, Steel Leaves, Ironwood Ingots, Fiery Iron, and Knight Metal that can be used as materials. In addition to a lot of industrial metals like Bronze, Lead, Iridium, Platinum, Aluminum, Nickel, Yin Steel, Elementium, Luminium, Amber Gold, Fine Iron, High-Strength Alloy, Hard Carbon, Cubic Boron Nitride, Redstone Amber Gold...
Fang Mo even saw Applied Energistics' Certus Quartz, PSI metal, Astral Ingots, and the Red and Dark Matters from Equivalent Exchange, as well as Blood Magic's Bound and Sentient Ingots in the book.
But he hasn't even unlocked these mods yet, right?
Even rubber, advanced alloy, carbon fiber, energy metal, and UU metal from the Industrial Era were listed.
Of course, there's also Redstone Arsenal and Redstone Armory's Redstone Crystal, Extreme Cold Ender, and Redstone and Amber Gemstones from some unknown mod.
This is just after reading the material list.
Fang Mo was completely baffled.
