Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 694: OP Mod?!

After Logan's explanation, Scott finally understood that he had already died once.

Moreover, the one who killed him was none other than the woman he deeply loved, Jean Grey, or rather, the dark persona within her, the Dark Phoenix.

To be honest, although Scott comprehended the entire situation, he still found it difficult to accept the reality. He even doubted whether he was having a nightmare.

From Scott's perspective, he had merely been taking care of the comatose Jean. Then, when she finally woke up and he tried to get close to her, the scene abruptly changed, and suddenly a group of people stood before him, informing him that he had died once.

Scott did not care much about his own death. After all, he didn't feel it, and hadn't he already been resurrected?

What Scott found hardest to accept was Jean's sacrifice. This was a devastating blow to him, and he could hardly believe it.

Even in front of everyone, Scott couldn't hold back his emotions. His feelings for Jean were indeed profound, and upon hearing the bad news, he almost lost control of his emotions. After being stopped by everyone, he sat on the ground helplessly, as if his soul had been drained.

"Jean..."

Scott sat dazed on the grass, looking utterly lost.

"Scott."

Seeing Scott in pain, Logan was reminded of his former girlfriend, Silverfox. When he learned of her death, he too was deeply grieved. Sighing, he tried to comfort Scott: "Actually, Jean is not dead. She's just sealed. We still have a chance."

"What?"

Scott looked up suddenly, as if grasping at his last straw of hope: "Really?"

"As long as you don't give up."

Alex patted his brother's shoulder sympathetically: "Things are already as fortunate as they can be in this unfortunate situation. You should thank Fang Mo; he saved you, Scott... Only by staying alive can we have any chance. Do you understand?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"I... I understand."

Hearing this, Scott seemed to regain some confidence. He turned to Fang Mo, who was sitting in a chair, and sincerely thanked him: "Fang Mo... thank you."

"Hey."

Fang Mo smiled and waved his hand: "We're all friends here."

"Fang Mo."

Scott hesitated for a moment but quickly asked: "You said Jean is just sealed. Can I ask where she is sealed? I really want to see her."

"Well, you might need a plunger..."

Fang Mo chuckled.

"Huh?"

Scott was momentarily stunned by this, but Logan quickly interrupted the conversation between the two. He didn't want to see Scott crying over a toilet: "Alright, Scott. I know you're very upset right now, but the X Academy is facing a severe crisis. We must first address the external threats."

"Alright, I understand."

Taking a deep breath, Scott knew he had to compose himself. He was, after all, a member of the X-Men. Seeing Sean and the others made him realize the gravity of the situation, so he nodded.

"So... what do you need me to do?"

After being resurrected, Scott quickly threw himself into the urgent work at hand.

Unlike the overwhelmed X-Men, Fang Mo, having just completed the trilogy's storyline, found himself with rare leisure. Instead of planning more schemes, he indulged in reading the Tinker' Construct Manual.

The module he unlocked during the battle with the Dark Phoenix, which included more crafting materials, proved unexpectedly powerful and interesting.

Even when compared to modules with special materials like 'Adamantium,' 'Uru,' and 'Zero Element,' this additional materials module did not fall short.

For example, the 'Sun Steel' unlocked earlier not only had strong material properties but also four characteristics: flammability, overheating, density, and auto-smelting. Its mining level was so high it could directly extract Vibranium, with durability, mining speed, and attack power all exceptionally high.

If he could reforge a Levitan with it, its power would certainly be significantly enhanced.

Additionally, this module included many other materials like Void Crystal, Blood Stone, Temporal Distortion, and Ender Alloy.

Of course, those were impressive enough, but Fang Mo even saw materials like Rune Steel and Gravitium.

This is a bit absurd. If I remember correctly, Gravinium is a material from the Marvel universe, and it's supposed to be quite rare, isn't it? And this Runesteel has a distinctly mythical feel. I wonder what it would look like in reality.

Unfortunately, the Tinker's Manual only records these materials.

As for how to actually make them, it doesn't go into much detail.

"Damn, does this mean I have to go through endless trial and error again?"

Flipping through the Tinker's Manual, Fang Mo looked at the numerous new materials listed and felt a headache coming on. Squatting next to the Tinker's Furnace and using brute force to keep crafting materials is even more painful than listening to him complain. This is something I want to avoid...

But after a brief moment of frustration,

A sudden idea came to him, and he thought of a brilliant solution.

"Well... if it doesn't work out, I'll just leave it to Xiao Yao."

Fang Mo clapped his hands and stood up from the bench, walking towards his guest room: "Since it's come to this, let's eat first."

Humming a little tune,

Fang Mo cheerfully returned to the guest room.

It was just noon, and Ah Xue was in the kitchen preparing lunch.

As for his daughter, Xiao Momo, she was lying on the floor, wagging her tail and playing chess with the little lazybones, Cheems. Fang Mo glanced over; it looked like they were playing chess, maybe international chess? He had no idea who taught them, but they seemed to be enjoying it.

But what Fang Mo didn't expect was,

When he looked up, he suddenly saw a familiar small figure sitting on the sofa.

Of course, this was his unlucky partner. She was sitting on the sofa with her head slightly lowered, and beside her, Alex was holding a book, which was undoubtedly the Tinker's Manual. It looked like she was reading through it.

Probably noticing Fang Mo entering the room,

Alex raised her head and then quickly disappeared from the spot.

In her place, Xiao Yao seemed to snap out of it, her previously blank eyes regaining some light, and she turned to Fang Mo: "You're back?"

"Oh, I was just out in the sun."

Fang Mo gave her a surprised look: "That's rare, you actually came out on your own. Could it be... we ran out of resources at home again?"

"There's still some left, but it's almost gone."

Xiao Yao said, "But this time I came out just to get some fresh air. Grinding for too long made me a bit tired."

"Mm, mm, mm, that's right." Fang Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Work is never-ending. If you're tired, come out and get some fresh air. I'll relax you, and we both can unwind..."

"?"

But hearing Fang Mo's words, Xiao Yao immediately raised an eyebrow and retorted: "Can you stop thinking about such dirty things? Do I have to transform into a bull for you to behave?"

"Hehe, a tomboy isn't bad either."

Fang Mo said cheekily: "Once they're exhausted, you can just throw them aside. They'll die off on their own, no need to worry..."

"Can't talk to a pervert, I'm leaving."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go."

Seeing Xiao Yao about to get up and leave, Fang Mo quickly reassured her: "I'm kidding... I won't bother you, alright? Stay the night, and I'll go back with you tomorrow."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yao looked at Fang Mo in surprise: "You want to go back? It's only been a short while, where are you in the storyline?"

"Don't mention it, I think I've finished it."

Fang Mo said, wiping his face in frustration.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was also puzzled: "What do you mean by finishing it? I just started grinding, you can't be at the Twilight storyline already, can you?"

"Twilight seems to be a separate timeline."

Fang Mo explained with a shrug: "What I mean is... I've finished the old trilogy storyline. The Days of Future Past storyline shouldn't appear anytime soon, so I plan to go back and rest for a bit. I've got some new ideas for crafting weapons recently that I want to try out."

"Oh, speaking of which."

Xiao Yao recalled and said: "I saw you unlocked the MTC mod, right?"

"You mean More Tinker's Construct materials?"

Fang Mo nodded in agreement, remembering his earlier plan to have the other party grind alloys. It felt like a perfect opportunity had presented itself, so he asked directly, "Have you played it? It looks quite challenging..."

"I played it during the earlier versions."

Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said, "After you left, I didn't play much MC either. This mod seems to have been constantly updated... but I checked the Tinker's Construct Manual, and it seems pretty similar."

"Can you craft the materials inside?"

Fang Mo asked.

"Which one do you want?"

Xiao Yao glanced at him, seemingly puzzled. "The endgame material of this mod isn't that special. The practical value of the alloy is actually less than that of the Void Metal. Of course, if you unlock the Draconic Evolution later, this material becomes even less impressive. The only useful trait is probably its ability to dig through bedrock, right?"

Xiao Yao tilted her head, thinking for a bit. "But we have the Gluttony mod, so we can just have Steve chew through it, no need to make a separate tool..."

"I know about what you said."

Fang Mo nodded, "But you're considering everything from the perspective of the MC world. Some materials, when applied in reality, can become incredibly powerful."

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing Fang Mo's explanation, Xiao Yao understood. She leaned on her chin, looking thoughtful. "In that case, the strongest aspect of this mod wouldn't be its materials, but the tools it adds, like that ring."

"Huh?"

Fang Mo was stunned, "Ring? What ring?"

"You don't know?"

Xiao Yao asked.

"If I knew everything, why would I need you? Hurry up and explain," Fang Mo urged, waving his hand.

"Alright then."

Xiao Yao rolled her eyes at Fang Mo but began to explain in detail, "This mod seems to have crossover features with Dimensional Doors, Aether, and Twilight Forest, but we only have Twilight Forest now. Because of these crossovers, it added a lot of new tools, like a whole set of tools and weapons specifically for Dimensional Doors, and a Tinker's Construct accessory called a ring."

"What does that ring do?"

Fang Mo nodded, recalling some items from Tinker's Construct 1, like the Heart Canisters. "Does it increase maximum health or add extra storage space?"

"Is your imagination that limited?"

Xiao Yao gave Fang Mo a mocking look. Just as he was about to retort, she continued, "Since it's a Tinker's Construct ring... of course, you can DIY its attributes."

"What?"

Fang Mo was taken aback, "Wait, do you mean..."

"Exactly what you're thinking."

Xiao Yao leaned back on the sofa, her small feet propped up on the coffee table. "The ring is made up of a base and a gemstone. Once worn, you can benefit from all the materials' enhancements. These enhancements cover both the Tinker's Construct Manual and the Armor Manual..."

"Let's take Chaos Metal from the Draconic Evolution as an example."

"In Tinker's Construct armor, Chaos Metal grants flight and heaviness. If you add it to the armor, you can fly freely and won't be knocked back. I used to make this for you often; you haven't forgotten, right?"

"So now, using the same principle, I can make a ring with Chaos Metal, and you can still fly."

"But Chaos Metal only covers one part; you can choose another material for the gemstone, like Emerald. It can even have a third attribute through engraving. Imagine engraving an Infinity Component: Gale, Flight, Omniscience, Emptiness, Eternal Immortality..."

"Following your theory of reality, you'd have a ring that grants flight, regeneration, and eternal life, and you can even enhance it with the tool forge."

"And lastly, the most crucial point."

Xiao Yao smiled at Fang Mo, "You are a human with ten fingers..."

"Damn!?"

Wtf
