Chapter 445: [Sponsored]: Meeting up with Nick, Stark, and others

Due to Thor's desperate resistance.
The Mjolnir was ultimately not strengthened through the use of enhancement experience.
Fang Mo, after all, is the God of Pure Love in battle. This Tauren matter was mostly talk, and he truly couldn't bring himself to act upon it, especially considering Thor's personal wishes. Hence, Fang Mo simply switched to another method.
As is well known, tools and weapons in the Tinker' Construct have a durability feature.
Except for enhancing them with the "Indestructible" attribute, all tools and weapons will wear out with use. However, unlike the original tools, those from the Tinker' Construct won't disappear after their durability is depleted but will enter a "damaged" state instead.
Damaged tools cannot be used.
But they can be repaired by consuming certain materials.
According to the setting in the Marvel Universe, Mjolnir is forged from the mythical metal Uru, and the Tinker' Construct's additional module, the Tinker' Construct More Alloys Module, includes metals like Vibranium, Meteorite Iron, Adamantium, and Uru.
In the game, players can place damaged weapons into the tool assembly station, and then place metal ingots of the same material as the tool to restore its durability.
Fang Mo tentatively placed Mjolnir on the tool assembly station.
Then he took out a few Uru metal ingots, trying to hammer these ingots into Mjolnir. Just hearing a few "ding" sounds, the Uru metal ingots suddenly melted, turning into a pool of metallic liquid that seeped into the interior of Mjolnir.
And right after that, the handle that was bent at ninety degrees immediately returned to normal.
"Done, here you go."
After repairing Mjolnir, Fang Mo also handed it back to Thor.
"I knew you could do it!" Thor, excited like a 1500-year-old child, exclaimed: "Fantastic, Mjolnir, we can finally fight side by side again!"
"As a favor to a friend, this repair is free."
Fang Mo glanced at Thor, who was a bit simple-minded, and reminded him: "If your hammer has problems again next time, then you must fulfill the contract, climb to the highest point of Asgard and shout 'All eyes on me, I announce something, I am a big fool...' Remember to shout it out loud, or I absolutely won't lift a finger."
"Don't worry."
Thor nonchalantly said: "I won't let this kind of thing happen again."
"Ah alright, alright."
Hearing this, Fang Mo laughed and didn't quibble with Thor any further, casually packing up the Tinker' Construct workshop: "Let's go, see what Nick and the others are up to..."
"Yeah, let's go."
Thor nodded and then swung his hammer, flying into the sky.
Seeing this, Fang Mo also followed, and after flying a short distance in the air, probably over a mountain, they finally arrived at their destination.
This was a flat terrain area, different from the desert in other locations, as it was often moistened by water vapor, and was already covered with various plants, though cotton was predominant. In the very center of the cotton field stood a semi-destroyed research base.
The research base looked quite flashy, seemingly expanded several times compared to the initial relocation of Stark Tower.
But it is called a semi-destroyed research base because it had just been attacked, and the top of the research base was completely blown off, leaving only a pile of architectural debris. However, fortunately, it seems no one was hurt, as they were gathered together discussing something.
Nick Fury immediately said.
"Did I even mention the word 'black' just now?" Fang Mo retorted with widened eyes: "I didn't say it myself, so how can you be so sure I was talking about black people?"
"I should have a pretty good idea of what the situation is like in America, shouldn't I?"
Nick Fury said with a stern face.
"Hello, Nick Fury, I'm the technical consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D, Mr. Fang Mo. I now suspect you of racial discrimination, please come with me." Upon hearing this, Fang Mo also broke into a smile: "Please raise your hands over your head now, and place them on the wall."
"Is that so?"
Nick Fury surprisingly complied by raising his hands.
"I meant for you to place your hands on the wall." Fang Mo said: "What do you mean by placing them in the air? Huh? Planning to draw a gun? I'll immediately neutralize you, you criminal..."
"I did indeed place my hands on the wall just now."
Nick Fury said calmly: "But sorry officer, because I'm black, I couldn't help but steal the wall for a moment, does this explanation work for you?"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Fang Mo burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Damn, it has to be you, I can't take it anymore, this is too funny..."
Even Stark, Thor, and Rocket Raccoon beside them couldn't help but rub their foreheads in headache after listening.
After Fang Mo had his moment of laughter, Nick Fury then continued: "Are you satisfied now? Can we get down to business?"
"Alright, let's get down to business then."
The laughter passed, and Fang Mo returned to normal, looking around: "Hmm, where is Banner?"
"He's been injected with a sedative, currently unconscious."
Stark explained: "Fortunately, when Dr. Banner falls unconscious, Hulk disappears too, which is easier to handle than when he's out of control. However, this might become a weakness for him in the future..."
"No problem, just let his original body also pilot Veronica."
Fang Mo waved his hand and said: "What's the damage here, is everything we were researching destroyed?"
"The biggest losses are the Mind Stone itself and Ultron's AI program." Stark said with a headache, massaging his temples: "As for other things, there should still be data backups here. Oh right, your energy crystal should still be here, but we'll have to dig through these ruins..."
"The Lamberton crystal?"
Fang Mo nodded, recalling the item, which was a high-grade material from the Industrial Craft 2 mod he had won in a lottery.
"Oh, yes, the Lamberton crystal."
Stark nodded: "Do you still have it? It's quite special, if you have any spare, could you... sell me a few?"
"What do you want it for?" Fang Mo curiously looked at Stark.
"Because it... uh..."
Stark hesitated for a moment but then honestly said: "Alright, it can store the energy of the Infinity Stones, so I want to use it to make a few anti-series armors."
