Steve Chapter 132

Accompanied by the gradual dispersion of the black mist.

Fang Mo once again returned to the main world—Minecraft.

After the experiences from the previous occasions, Fang Mo didn't express much surprise. He simply got up from the bed smoothly and proceeded to inspect his territory.

As for Steve...

Naturally, he continued his routine of changing outfits in the warehouse and then went on to mine.

During his time in the Naruto world, Fang Mo accidentally obtained a mod called the "Geochest" while manipulating Uchiha Obito's Sharingan. As a result, he also inadvertently obtained the mod, allowing Steve to go out and find Geodite. Fang Mo intended to gather a few Geochest to experiment with.

If this thing could become a reality, he would have even more extravagant possibilities to explore.

However, despite being called Geodite, these items weren't particularly rare.

In fact, they occasionally respawned even on the surface of rocks in the high mountain biomes.

Moreover, if he couldn't find these items, he could also synthesize them by combining emeralds with pink dye. While it might sound unreliable, it actually worked.

In about half a day, Steve returned with a considerable number of Geodite.

Standing in front of the crafting table, Fang Mo briefly recollected the procedure. He placed the Geodite and trap chests on the table, surrounded them with a circle of white carpet, and swiftly crafted the smallest version of a Geochest.

Subsequently, Fang Mo placed this new Geochest onto the table, added Geodite, encircled it with a yellow carpet…

And so on, continuing the nesting process.

After numerous iterations of crafting and nesting...

Fang Mo eventually obtained a Geochest as black as ink, with internal dimensions measuring 11x11x11 blocks.

Upon careful consideration, this capacity wouldn't even be considered large in the real world.

However, the Geochest possessed a very unique ability.

It could be stacked on top of each other.

If, within the transfer range of one Geochest, another Geochest existed, then at the moment of transfer, all the Geochestes within the range would activate simultaneously.

By placing three more Geochestes at the edges of the transfer range in three different directions, the internal volume could be tripled. This process could be repeated, nearly infinitely extending the transfer space.

Although concepts were often criticized, this particular item was genuinely useful.

As long as the placement of the boxes was reasonable, Fang Mo could indeed transfer an entire villa, estate, or even an entire castle from the real world into his own chest.

Well, it seemed like he was performing the technique of multiplying Geochestes, right?

False otaku perks: Unfamiliar 3D women, wearing nauseating fake smiles, maliciously obscuring content on reading or anime websites in the form of ads, enticing otakus' gazes with revealing outfits.

Real otaku perks: Regardless of your location or the challenges you face, as long as you open the box, you can return to the harbor known as "home." Comfort your nearly exhausted soul with chilled cola, air conditioning, new anime episodes, figurines, and gacha.

This was one of the few mods that Fang Mo could thoroughly explore.

To pass the time, Fang Mo practically hollowed out the surrounding mountains, consuming a substantial amount of emeralds and pink dye.

The final result was that he created hundreds of the largest Geochestes. He used his own home as a testing ground and, after several failed attempts, he finally succeeded in fitting his entire home into the Geochest's range. With a gentle Shift+Right Click, Steve made the entire home vanish in an instant.

In its place remained an exceptionally neat pit, extending four or five blocks deep.

"Ahahaha, let the journey begin."

Witnessing this scene, Fang Mo also happily left the area.

Now, he truly became a wandering player. When night fell, he would open the box, return home, eat, sleep, wake up, close the box, and resume the journey with Steve.

After traveling tens of thousands of blocks, Fang Mo stumbled upon a village.

As it's commonly known, the villagers in the MC world are entirely distinct from the familiar game NPCs. MC villagers are creatures that lack thought, speech, or any form of intelligence. Aside from trading and breeding, they are no different from pigs, cows, or sheep in the game.

Fang Mo took a quick look around and found that the villagers were, as usual, quite unhelpful.

Six emeralds for a pair of leather pants?

Heh, interesting.

Upon seeing this trade request, Fang Mo smiled and instructed Steve to take out an EnderSword. He captured the adorable villager, tossed him into the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery, and incinerated him.

After all, the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery...

When villagers are smelted within it, there's a chance of producing molten emeralds.

So Fang Mo cheerfully caught a group of villagers, pushed them into the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery, and soon obtained some molten emeralds, along with a pile of blood. He then used gem molds to shape them.

These villagers emitted odd moans within the furnace. Before long, they fell to the ground lifeless.

The damage they sustained in the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery quickly transformed into a pile of blood and molten emeralds, which were respectively cast into emeralds and blood clots.

After a while, only a few villagers remained in the village.

Fang Mo no longer had the heart to kill them.

The remaining villagers had favorable trade conditions—exchange a pile of paper for an emerald or a pile of potatoes for an emerald.

With the Bamboo mod, paper was quite common.

After all, a few bamboo shoots could yield an abundance of paper.

As for potatoes... After integrating mods like Pam's HarvestCraft and Tinkers' Construct, using Tinkers' Scythe on them could harvest a 3x3 area and automatically replant. It was quite convenient.

After some contemplation, Fang Mo decided to temporarily reside here.

Thus, he opened the Geochest, relocated his territory next to the village, and settled in.

As mentioned earlier, Fang Mo was getting a bit bored alone, so he planned to explore auto farming. The Zombie Pigman Tower had already been constructed, albeit somewhat unstable, it was usable. He had plenty of gold and rotten flesh now.

And upon encountering the villagers—no, this valuable asset—Fang Mo naturally wouldn't let them go.

Setting up an Iron Farm, Soap Factory, and Cremator immediately, right?

First, the Iron Farm.

Its principle was simple—exploiting villagers' fear of zombies.

When villagers encountered zombies, they would flee desperately, experiencing fear. Consequently, a special area of the village would generate an Iron Golem to protect them.

Once the Iron Golem was defeated, it would drop iron ingots.

Simplifying the process, allowing villagers to coexist with zombies, immediately killing the Iron Golem as it spawned, and collecting the drops would automate the process and complete the Iron Farm.

Next, Fang Mo pondered how to optimize the pipeline to enhance efficiency and reduce space usage.

Creating the Iron Farm was quite straightforward.

Fang Mo managed to set it up quickly.

Even though efficiency wasn't at its peak, time was on his side for optimization.

Then...

Fang Mo intended to explore the Emerald... well, let's call it the Emerald Generator.

He came up with a plan to breed villagers en masse and then burn them in the furnace, but he realized this method was quite inefficient. So, he changed his approach.

In the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery, villagers wouldn't only drop emeralds upon death. Instead, molten emeralds and blood would be generated in the furnace each time they were injured.

This was rather straightforward. Fang Mo sent Steve on a mission to find the Fountain of Life.

This was a unique item in the Biomes O' Plenty mod, known as the Sacred Spring. Curiously, it was translated as a Hot Spring in the mod. It was a clear blue liquid that, upon contact, restored creatures' health.

In the Biomes O' Plenty mod, the Sacred Spring's healing effect was incredibly potent, even surpassing Hot Springs from other mods.

However, there was a catch...

They were exceedingly rare.

Despite the Biomes O' Plenty mod introducing nearly a hundred different terrains to the game, only the "Alps" and "Magic Forest" biomes could spawn Sacred Springs.

Fortunately, Fang Mo was extremely patient.

After a few more days, Fang Mo discovered a pool of Sacred Spring within a cave in a massive snowy mountain.

He built a hot spring for himself.

And he drew out a bucket, aiming to create a perpetual-motion machine using villagers.

Fang Mo set up a single-tier Tinker'S Construct Smeltery, placed a hot spring pool in front of it for healing, and used water flows or slime channels to transport villagers into the furnace. He sealed off other exits and stationed Zombie Overseers on both sides of the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery.

This way, when villagers fell into the furnace, they would be terrified by the zombies, run away, and avoid the furnace. However, in the process, they would be smelted in the Tinker'S Construct Smeltery, resulting in molten emeralds and... no, molten emeralds and some blood splashing out. When they emerged from the furnace, they were almost burned to death. After bathing in the hot spring, they would revive.

Once these villagers were fully restored...

They would be transported away again through the conveyance channels, undergoing another cycle of roller coasters, Tinkers Construct Smeltery haunted house adventures, and hot spring leisure and wellness services.

Fang Mo labeled this the Villager Amusement Park.

Fang Mo and his terrible naming skills...

btw there's a joke I forgot to put on Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo... and it's same day delivery. oh well late.
