"Fang Mo, I have something I'd like to ask you."

During the afternoon break, Boros suddenly pushed open the door to Fang Mo's bedroom and walked straight in from outside.

"… I mean, big brother, can't you respect others' privacy?"

Fang Mo was originally chatting intermittently with Xiao Yao when this guy unexpectedly walked in… This habit of not knocking really made it hard for him to adapt, so he immediately retorted, "What would be your first reaction if someone suddenly pushed the door open while you were using the toilet, trying to sell you a Toilet Paper?"

"I would kill him on the spot," Boros said without even thinking.

"Do you believe I could kill you on the spot too?"

Fang Mo retorted.

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Boros, on the contrary, showed a surprisingly pleased expression: "Are you finally ready to fight me again? That's great!"

"I…"

Fang Mo also felt a headache coming on and wiped his face: "Never mind, I was just joking."

"Ah, so we're not fighting?"

A look of disappointment flashed across Boros's one eye, but he quickly waved his hand dismissively: "Fine, then I'll just come back when you're using the toilet."

"You…!"

Fang Mo was instantly furious, not expecting Boros to still be so full of tricks: "Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. You said you had something to discuss with me, right? What is it?"

However, what he didn't expect was.

After thinking it over, Boros once again made a shocking statement: "Oh, can you lend me your wife to fight?"

"???"

Not just Fang Mo, but even Xiao Yao, who was leaning against the window sill, was clearly taken aback.

"You this…" Fang Mo was silent for a long while before he couldn't help but speak, "I'll give you another chance to rephrase that."

"But I'm really bored."

Boros waved his hand irritably: "The creatures on this planet are too weak and utterly boring. I just learned a new combat technique and was looking forward to having a good fight with you, but you said you were busy and then just holed up in here… What am I supposed to do?"

"Although you might not believe it, she might actually not be a match for you…"

Fang Mo rubbed his temples and said, "I've been working on technology since I was young and have now mastered it… But my partner is not quite proficient yet, and fighting her would purely be a death wish for you."

Indeed, he was not lying about this.

Just moments ago, Fang Mo had also discussed quite a few things with Xiao Yao.

Based on some information she had described, Fang Mo had deduced Xiao Yao's current condition.

Although this little creature had indeed unlocked the endgame gear, which is the Quantum and Antimatter Ring, quantum theory is extremely complex. If she really understood it all, she might instantly become an intangible source of power, or a monster like Doctor Manhattan.

Thus, for Xiao Yao, the Quantum Ring.

Seemed more like a god-level tool without any instruction manual.

And because of this, Xiao Yao was also in the process of exploring and researching.

Currently, she was probably able to interfere with some basic microscopic particles, altering, dismantling, and controlling parts of particles' shapes and structures. If you must, asking her to rub a water droplet by hand seems feasible too.

Even though this little creature had never eaten a single essence berry, it would still be difficult for Boros to challenge her.

After all, the path of mechanical ascension is straightforward; having strong equipment is enough... Unlike Fang Mo's side, where essence berries and cosmic meatballs are necessary for self-deification, eventually surpassing everything and transcending the multiverse.

However, the path chosen by Xiao Yao also has its obvious disadvantages.

Taking Fang Mo himself as an example, his power to directly modify physical laws… Wouldn't it just be a matter of minutes to confront her directly?

All in all, compared to Doctor Manhattan's near-omnipotent abilities.

Xiao Yao clearly still has a long way to go.

"You're saying I can't defeat a woman?"

However, Boros's thoughts were different from Fang Mo's. After hearing his explanation, he couldn't help but frown: "I don't believe it... let me try!"

"No, big brother, can you take a good look for once?"

Fang Mo sighed with a worried expression and pointed to himself and Xiao Yao, saying, "We really have important matters to attend to. If you don't have anything else to do, maybe you could go and shoot a few commercials for soap, or write an autobiography or something... Don't interfere with us, okay?"

"What could you two possibly have to do?" Boros asked.

"Intimate affairs, okay?"

Fang Mo blurted out without thinking, and the next second he felt something hit the back of his head. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yao kicking him hard with her right foot.

"I beg you to think of something healthy."

Xiao Yao sat on the window sill, looking disgusted, kicking Fang Mo's arm restlessly with one foot: "No wonder you can't remember the crafting list... Is it because all your emotions are spent on these things?"

"Sorry, can't do that."

Fang Mo leaned back on the bed, a proud look on his face, occasionally unrepentant, and hoped for his sister's understanding.

"Getting excited now, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yao put her hands on her hips and kicked Fang Mo's arm a couple more times.

However, unexpectedly, Fang Mo suddenly grabbed her white-stockinged foot and tossed it aside, complaining: "Enough with the kicking, this is an arm, not something else..."

"Are you sick?"

Xiao Yao cursed, reflexively retracting her leg.

"Wuhu." Fang Mo chuckled, then turned his head to look at Boros nearby: "Okay, just now we were joking, but actually, we've foreseen something related to you."

"Prophecy? You guys can do that too?"

Boros seemed a bit curious: "I thought only my people knew how."

"Hey… we've got lots of tricks up our sleeves."

Fang Mo laughed heartily, then casually dodged an alloy ingot thrown at him by Boros: "Anyway, we did a little divination and found that there might be a human freak born on Earth soon, possessing strength not unlike yours."

"Hmm?"

Boros's eyes lit up at this revelation: "Really!?"

"Of course, it's true."

Fang Mo nodded cheerfully. He wasn't deceiving Boros; the power level of the 'Garou' was indeed comparable to that of Boros. Moreover, there were rumors that the prophet spoken of by Boros's people, who could match 'King Boros' in strength, was indeed the 'Garou.'

It's just unfortunate that Boros was too eager and arrived too early, only to be beaten to death by the bald superhero.

"Hahaha, that's great!"

Hearing Fang Mo's confirmation, Boros laughed heartily: "Finally, I can have a good fight!"

"So can you leave us alone for now?"

Fang Mo looked at Boros, whose big eyes were flickering, and somehow, they seemed to glow more and more like big light bulbs.

"Are you sure you don't want to fight me right now?"

Even though Fang Mo had said so, Boros still looked at him reluctantly: "Honestly, you didn't enjoy that last fight, did you?"

"But right now, I only want to do bonding, not fighting."

Fang Mo sighed, realizing that Boros was unexpectedly hard to communicate with, reminiscent of Zaraki Kenpachi.

With this thought.

Fang Mo also reached behind him.

A jet-black, blunt heavy sword was drawn by Fang Mo, and with a thought, a sharply defined bedrock golem appeared instantly in front of everyone.

"If you really want to fight, then fight this."

Fang Mo pointed at the bedrock golem, speaking dismissively to Boros: "Anyway, its defense is about the same as mine. Beat it first, then you can challenge me."

"Hmm?"

Boros looked dubiously at the distant bedrock golem.

Truth be told, this thing did look peculiar; to Boros, it didn't seem like a creature at all, but rather more like some kind of stone sculpture, doll, or robot, devoid of any aura of strength.

This thing really was just standing there like a block of stone, motionless.

And what concerned Boros the most... its eyes seemed a bit cross-eyed, exuding a bizarre sense of stupidity, making it appear very foolish.

"?"

As if sensing Boros's gaze, the bedrock golem also lowered its head, studying him for a while... then scratched its head in confusion.

With a grating sound, sparks flew from the back of its head.

"This thing…"

Boros opened his mouth to comment, but the words stuck in his throat, feeling that fighting this thing might actually make him dumber.

After a moment's thought, he turned back to Fang Mo grudgingly: "You mean what you say, right?"

"Of course."

Fang Mo declared solemnly: "Defeat him, and I promise you three hundred rounds of battle."

With that, Fang Mo even patted the bedrock golem's body, introducing it to Boros: "This is Brother Screech, a master I've hired to give you a massage. I see you've been staying in the sword too long, it must be tiring, let him relieve your fatigue."

"…"

The bedrock golem seemed to think for a moment, then suddenly nodded, apparently quite happy.

Then it turned to face Boros, patting its own chest.

"Are you ready?" Seeing this, Boros thought it was a challenge and began to gather energy: "Bursting Star Roar…"

"Stop, for heaven's sake!"

Fang Mo quickly intervened: "Take this thing to the Ancient One, let her open a mirror world for you to fight in... I still need this house!"

"Your little house can't be that important, can it? Didn't I already give you a battleship?" Boros retorted, slightly annoyed. Despite his complaints, he picked up the bedrock golem and headed towards the door: "The Ancient One is that bald guy, right? Then I'll go find him."

"You better hurry up..."

Fang Mo listened to the creaking sounds coming from the floorboards, heavily burdened by their weight, and felt a headache coming on. It was fortunate that the house was constructed using nanotechnology. After Saitama had shattered the entryway with a single kick, Fang Mo had enchanted the house to enhance its durability. Otherwise, the floorboards would have collapsed the moment the bedrock golem was summoned.

With a suitable punching bag provided, Boros left satisfied.

Once Boros was gone, Fang Mo shoved the heavy sword back behind him and resumed his discussion with his partner.

The majority of their earlier conversation had revolved around the Quantum Ring.

Now that Fang Mo had a good grasp of her current abilities — she was essentially at the stage of slowly mastering her endgame artifact — he moved on to inquire about the developments in the Minecraft world she mentioned.

According to Xiao Yao's explanation, the industrial setup in the Minecraft world had begun to take shape on a basic level.

This included, but was not limited to, several room-temperature/MOX nuclear reactors, high-temperature fluid reactors, and high-pressure wind turbine arrays, molecular machinery, and of course, things like immersion engineering's grinding arrays, forestry tree fields, automated farms, and even multi-module ore batch processing lines were all in place.

In short, the current situation was as follows:

As long as Steve tossed the mined ores into a chest.

The production line would automatically activate, transporting all ores through pipes or conveyors for classification, delivering them to the appropriate machines for grinding, calcining, and refining, before finally transporting them to storage areas for automatic storage.

It had to be said, this tech giant was indeed impressive.

Up to now, Fang Mo had not unlocked any storage or logistics mods, like Applied Energistics — he was utterly clueless about it.

Yet this little device had managed to use materials from the thermal expansion and immersion engineering mods to cobble together an automatic logistics system...

Although Xiao Yao had done a lot of work and had also created a multitude of machines,

She had also brought some bad news to Fang Mo.

That was…

The home's resources were almost depleted.

While there were some Tinkers' Construct minerals like ardite and cobalt left, the metals needed for industrial purposes like gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead had been completely used up, and she didn't have time to mine for more. 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶

That's why she had taken the initiative to come out from the Minecraft world.

"I see…"

Hearing his partner's explanation, Fang Mo also understood the current situation in the Minecraft world. However, he wasn't worried about the ore; after all, Steve could mine it himself without him having to do it personally.

But just as Fang Mo was about to say something else,

A knock on the door interrupted him. It wasn't Boros this time, but his maid, Ah Xue: "Master, are you there?"

"Oh, it's Xue."

Hearing it was Ah Xue's voice, Fang Mo felt a sigh of relief — after all, who could have expected Boros to be such a clingy creature? "Come in, the door's unlocked."

Hearing Fang Mo's permission, Ah Xue pushed open the door and entered.

"Master… oh?"

However, when Ah Xue saw the two people in the room, she also seemed a bit surprised. Blinking her bright yellow eyes, she said, "It seems like Ah Xue has come at an inconvenient time."

"…Damn, now you're making me not sleepy."

Fang Mo, who had been reclining on the bed, suddenly sat up upon hearing Ah Xue's comment, then, taking advantage of Xiao Yao's distraction, quickly pulled her into his embrace.

"Woah!?"

Caught off guard, Xiao Yao was clearly flustered.

But at that moment, Fang Mo took a deep breath, his expression suddenly changing, the usual joy fading away, replaced by a tender smile, looking deeply at the door where Ah Xue stood: "No, you've come at just the right time…"

"Ah?"

Seeing this, Ah Xue seemed a bit stunned.

"Damn! You bastard!"

Before Ah Xue could react, Xiao Yao, having quickly grasped the situation, started to struggle wildly in Fang Mo's arms, her white-stockinged legs kicking about: "You're trying to play with me, huh!?"

"… Come here!"

Fang Mo forcefully restrained his partner with one hand while hurriedly waving Ah Xue over with the other: "Hurry up!"

"Master, this doesn't seem right…"

Ah Xue looked a bit bewildered but, unable to disobey Fang Mo's command, approached nervously, only to be firmly embraced by Fang Mo.

"Hahaha, this is the feeling I want!"

At that moment, Fang Mo, with an arm around each companion, though the little creature in his arms was about to explode in rage, was himself thoroughly enjoying the moment, laughing heartily: "You both are my wings!"

"Who the hell wants to be your little wing!"

However, the one in his arms, who was quite temperamental, immediately drew out a vajra staff: "Today, I'll let you taste the bitterness of this Landry staff!"

"Cough, cough, alright, alright…"

Fang Mo managed to release them with ease, coughing slightly before quickly letting go of both, instantly resuming a serious demeanor: "Alright, Ah Xue, what did you want to see me about?"

"It's like this, Master."

Ah Xue looked worriedly at the two, and upon seeing her mistress cursing while putting away the vajra staff, she finally felt reassured to speak: "Just now, Mr. Saitama and his disciple came to visit you, and also that guy who angered you last time, he came along too…"
