Tony Stark's life took a drastic turn when he was ambushed during a routine military exercise and captured by terrorists. Confined to a dark cave, he discovered an electromagnet implanted in his chest, a lifesaving measure against bomb fragments.
Tormented by the relentless demands of the terrorists, Stark's hope dwindled. Then, a self-proclaimed Stand User named Fang Mo appeared, swiftly neutralizing the terrorists and offering Stark an escape route.
Caught between skepticism and desperation, Stark weighed his options. However, his immediate priority was to flee. Fang Mo assured him that the terrorists had been eliminated, granting Stark his freedom. Yet, Stark knew the risks posed by the electromagnet. A malfunction or short-circuit could prove fatal.
Survival required a new power source. With the assistance of Dr. Ho Yinsen, Stark began the process of extracting palladium from a pile of missilesa vital step in creating his new energy supply.
Just as they were about to proceed, Fang Mo suddenly froze, distracted by an electronic notification that interrupted their progress.
[System Prompt: New Module Detected. Downloading]
"New Module?"
Fang Mo's curiosity was piqued by the appearance of the new module, prompting him to seek answers. However, the electronic sound remained unresponsive, serving solely as a system-generated notification without any interactive capabilities.
Perplexed, Stark paused his work with the crucible and turned his attention to Fang Mo's inquiry. "Are you talking to me?" he asked, visibly confused.
"In a sense," Fang Mo replied, approaching Stark with a hint of suspicion. Sensing a possible connection between Stark's activities and the new module, he asked directly, "What are you working on?"
"I'm melting these palladium metals," Stark explained as he positioned the crucible over the fire. "I need to cast a palladium ring for a small-scale reactor."
Fang Mo's mind was suddenly flooded with memories of accidentally handling a Uranium-235 pellet while experimenting with the Industrial Mod, which resulted in debilitating radiation effects. Almost instinctively, he blurted out, "Wow... Are you planning to share some radiation enjoyment?"
Stark was taken aback by the unexpected remark. "What did you say?"
At that moment, Dr. Ho Yinsen approached, holding a sand casting mold he had just finished making. "What's going on? I thought I heard you discussing something."
"Fang Mo, please don't distract us with your comments," Stark said, dismissing Fang Mo's playful remarks.
It was the Glass Sword, a unique weapon from his favorite mod, the Twilight Forest Mod. This sword could only be obtained with a certain probability in the Aurora Palace of the Glacial Cavern.
The Glass Sword boasted an impressive 40 Attack Points, but its durability was a significant drawback, with only 1 point. While it was exceptionally sharp, it was equally fragile.
However, Fang Mo's focus wasn't solely on the sword.
"Could it be that the Lucky Block has the ability to draw items from all mods?" Fang Mo pondered, stroking his chin. "Even though I haven't loaded the Twilight Forest mod, I managed to obtain the Glass Sword. It's fascinating."
If the Lucky Block truly had the ability to draw items from all mods, its power would be extraordinary.
Minecraft had an extensive library of mods, offering a vast range of capabilities, from infinite multiplication with the Bacteria mod to destructive bombs and world-flooding hot spring machines. The potential rewards were boundless.
However, as the Lucky Block was provided by the system, Fang Mo remained uncertain about its criteria for judgment.
Would it continually grant new rewards each time he ran a different mod? Or was it a one-time reward that would leave him empty-handed once claimed?
To address Fang Mo's speculation, a sudden burst of electronic sound resonated in his mind.
[System Prompt: Tinker Construct module download complete. Load it?]
"Oh, this..."
Fang Mo was momentarily taken aback but quickly agreed, saying, "Load it immediately."
[System Prompt: Tinker Construct module loaded successfully.]
[System Prompt: By downloading and activating a new module, you have obtained a Lucky Block that randomly pulls an item from any known mod.]
Accompanied by a series of system prompts, a Lucky Block reappeared in Steve's backpack.
"Really?"
Fang Mo's excitement soared upon seeing the vibrant Lucky Block.
Filled with eager anticipation, Fang Mo wasted no time in instructing Steve to open the Lucky Block. As the block was activated, a brilliant white light flooded their surroundings, revealing a peculiar purple claw-like object now resting in Steve's hand.
Curiosity piqued, Fang Mo closely examined the newfound item. It was an Ender Hand, an unmistakable artifact from the Mutant Creatures mod. Familiar with its capabilities, Fang Mo recalled its various functions. Left-clicking allowed for direct monster attacks, right-clicking granted control over a floating block, and it could be thrown to strike enemies. However, the most astonishing feature was the SHIFT + right-click move, which bestowed upon the player the incredible power of teleportation.
"This... is truly an extraordinary stroke of luck." Fang Mo marveled at the purple claw nestled in Steve's hand, amazed by its unique properties.
