Reborn with Steve Stand - Chapter 701: Mystcraft, Full Uses

“Isn’t this… What the hell!?”

Seeing the Book of Ages frantically falling around Alex, Fang Mo was genuinely stunned, standing still for quite a while in a daze.

In the end, he didn’t know what to say and just subconsciously opened his mouth: “Huh?”

However, Alex didn’t notice Fang Mo. At that moment, she was still continuously swiping at the strange blocks in front of her. It wasn’t until she ran out of leather and intended to return to the warehouse for more that she turned around and saw Fang Mo not far away.

“You…”

“Wow, amazing!”

Before Alex could finish speaking, Fang Mo practically flew over. Staring at the Book of Ages on the ground, his eyes were gleaming: “How on earth did you do this? What kind of machine is this? Is it a glitch? Duping items? Can you help me dupe something else?”

“Could you… calm down first?”

Alex was clearly startled by Fang Mo: “This is all done through legitimate means, not a glitch.”

“Uh? It’s not a glitch?”

Fang Mo felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

“It seems your Minecraft world can’t exploit glitches,” Alex said, casually placing a chest on the ground, apparently organizing her items: “I’ve tested several severe bugs before, but they all failed without exception… It seems reality and the game still have some differences. Your world must be fully patched and very refined.”

“Is that so?”

Fang Mo nodded instinctively: “Then let’s call it the perfect world…”

“Playing with too many memes will only harm you.”

Alex retorted casually while organizing her backpack. Soon, her backpack was emptied, and the Book of Ages around her were instantly absorbed into her body.

“Alright, no more memes.”

Seeing the large number of Book of Ages in Alex’s possession, Fang Mo uncharacteristically conceded, driven by his envy: “So, tell me, how exactly did you get these Book of Ages?”

“Are you… serious?”

Alex sounded a bit surprised.

“Of course.” Fang Mo rolled his eyes: “You know I hate fiddling with a block for half a day. Just explain it clearly to me…”

“Fine.”

Alex sighed but still began to explain earnestly. She pointed ahead: “The Mystcraft mod isn’t just about the Book of Ages. Do you see that row of blocks over there? Those are its core elements.”

“Hmm?”

Following Alex’s direction, Fang Mo looked ahead.

Not far from Alex, there indeed were several strange-looking blocks. They looked somewhat wooden and resembled original game elements like bookshelves, workbenches, or enchantment tables but with slight differences. Fang Mo had never seen these before.

As mentioned earlier, Fang Mo couldn’t interact with item GUI pages.

So, he quickly summoned Steve and controlled him to fiddle with those blocks.

Steve went over and right-clicked each one.

Through the block’s GUI pages, Fang Mo learned their names: Ink Mixer, Writing Desk, Book Stand, Lectern, and Book Binder.

The Book Binder was the block Alex had been frantically swiping.

“These are…”

Seeing the names of these items, Fang Mo vaguely recalled something, but he wasn’t interested enough in these mechanical blocks to remember clearly.

“These are all items from the Mystcraft mod. Their suffix is Mystcraft.”

Seeing Fang Mo’s confusion, Alex helped to explain: “The Mystcraft mod’s purpose is adventure and exploration. Although I don’t know why your Mystcraft can traverse other worlds, its original intent is to randomly create a bunch of different worlds for players to explore.”

“Oh, I know that.”

Fang Mo nodded: “When we played version 1.6, didn’t we find a coal mine world? The entire sky and ground were filled with coal ores…”

“Yes.”

Alex responded accordingly, “But what I want to say is… The Book of Ages of the Mystcraft is not only obtainable through reward boxes; we can actually make it ourselves.”

“With this set of equipment?”

Hearing this, if Fang Mo still didn’t understand, he would be an idiot.

“Yes.”

Alex took out a few pieces of leather from somewhere, rubbed them twice, and with a ‘pop’ sound, another Book of Ages dropped out.

“You see, just like this.”

Alex said, “I originally had a bunch of work to do and didn’t think of this, but you successfully used Kelly to provoke me. I really want to go to the Arad Continent and smash that woman to death. The problem is your efficiency with Steve running the map is too low. Even if I want to go, I don’t know how long it will take…”

“Ahem, it seems that technology is indeed the primary productive force.”

Hearing this, Fang Mo subconsciously turned his head and coughed twice.

“That’s right, this is the charm of technology… Huh?”

Alex originally felt a bit proud, but as soon as she said this, she suddenly sensed something unusual. Immediately, a Book of Ages appeared in her hand, and she quickly lowered her head to study it. “Something’s not right…”

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing this, Fang Mo’s attention was also attracted.

“This Book of Ages… seems a bit off.”

Alex’s tone was strange, “Where’s your Book of Ages? Throw me one to study.”

“Oh, okay.”

Fang Mo quickly nodded upon hearing this and controlled Steve to throw the Marvel Book of Ages over.

Alex took a step forward, absorbed the Book of Ages on the ground into her body, and then began studying it. She quickly discovered something wrong, raised her head, and said, “As expected, something’s off… it seems we’ve been tricked. What has your mod been turned into?”

“Huh? I don’t know?”

Fang Mo touched his head in confusion, “What’s happening?”

“See for yourself.”

Alex, looking a bit displeased, threw two golden books to Steve. Seeing this, Fang Mo immediately controlled Steve to pick them up.

He then opened his backpack to take a look.

And just by looking, Fang Mo indeed discovered something wrong.

The golden Book of Ages in his hand had the name ‘Marvel Comics’ on it, obviously referring to the Marvel Universe.

However, the Book of Ages just made by Xiaoyao had ‘Descriptive Book-Ages001’ written on it. Due to Fang Mo having a localization mod, he understood it to mean something like Book of Ages-001.

This made it clear.

This book had nothing to do with those multiple dimensions.

“Emmm…”

Seeing this, Fang Mo fell into deep thought. Alex directly threw another book at him. After Steve picked it up, Fang Mo saw it was ‘Descriptive Book-Ages002’, which gave him a bad feeling.

“This can’t be…”

“Obviously, it’s exactly what you’re thinking.”

Before Fang Mo could finish, Alex started speaking unhappily, “This damn mod seems to have been modified. Only by running the map and opening boxes can you unlock the real Book of Ages… the books we make ourselves have issues.”

“Uh, this…”

Seeing this, Fang Mo didn’t know what to say. He hadn’t thought of this before.

After all, he didn’t know the Book of Ages could be made by oneself. Even if he did, he wouldn’t make it, so he subconsciously thought it could only be obtained by running the map.

But Fang Mo didn’t expect this.

His little partner could even make the Book of Ages.

However, now faced with this problem, it’s clear the homemade Book of Ages is unusable. Seeing his partner’s unhappy face, Fang Mo instinctively tried to comfort her, “So… why don’t we go in and take a look first? Maybe it will work?”

“Tch…”

Alex indeed looked very unhappy, “It’s clearly marked on it, it definitely won’t work, going in is useless.”

“Ah, come on, don’t be so upset.”

Seeing the other person looking troubled, Fang Mo continued to think of ways to appease him: “Even if this Book of Ages can’t travel to other worlds, expanding the alternate worlds in MC is great too. This isn’t a game, it’s reality; there’s no issue of server lag. Wouldn’t it be thrilling to explore all these alternate worlds?”

At the end, Fang Mo added, “We can also have a rendezvous in another world and enjoy some delicacies…”

“But I want to fuck Kelly…”

“Damn, I want to fuck her too, okay?”

Hearing this, Fang Mo immediately pounded his fist indignantly and said, “That detestable heavenly woman, she’s someone everyone wants to kill… Back then, which of the eight million warriors didn’t want to fuck her?”

“Alright, alright, calm down first.”

After cursing the NPC, Fang Mo reached out to pat Alex’s head, but it wasn’t as comfortable as the original form of the little demon, with its sharp and hard head. So, he withdrew his hand and spoke again.

“No worries, buddy, I’ll go map running soon. I’ve unlocked the combat tower module, making it super efficient to open boxes. I can kill a puppet with two slashes and open a box, which is much faster than finding wild dimensional doors on the ground.”

“But…”

“Besides, the original Book of Ages is quite good too.”

Before the other person could say anything, Fang Mo suddenly thought of something and said, “I just thought about it, you really should make more Books of Ages. Then I’ll go run the maps. If I create a uranium world or a fluorite world for you… wouldn’t you be thrilled?”

“Just add the ‘Solar Power Generator Biome’ directly.”

Alex sighed but quickly regained his spirits, “Yeah, that works. Besides, we can still get some alternate world crystals from the Mystcraft dimensions.”

“Let’s go, let’s get started.”

Compared to his methodical partner, Fang Mo was the practical type. He grabbed the other person, ready to set off: “Let’s explore and see, maybe we’ll be super lucky, and the first world we hit is a diamond mine world?”

“The thing is, we don’t lack diamonds…”

Alex first grumbled, then added, “But I remember the Mystcraft dimensions read server data and build worlds with blocks and fluids.”

“What do you mean?”

Fang Mo asked, a bit confused.

“Basically,” Alex thought for a moment before explaining, “any fluid or block could be used to construct alternate worlds, including molten metals from Tinkers’ Construct. If you’re lucky, you might even find molten Bedrockium…”

“Well, damn.”

Hearing this, Fang Mo’s eyes lit up, “So, the original Book of Ages is like a lottery ticket? Wishing for a world with molten Bedrockium seas, giant floating uranium, coal, iridium, fluorite, platinum, tungsten, diamond, and redstone ore spheres…”

“You’re customizing worlds now?”

Alex sighed, “What you’re describing can’t even be done with the FR toolbox… but I guess you wouldn’t understand that. Anyway, let’s just go first.”

“Let’s go.”

Fang Mo cheerfully waved his hand and then controlled Steve to open the ‘Descriptive Book-Ages001′ Book of Ages.

As boundless black mist poured from the book, the two of them quickly vanished.

When Fang Mo opened his eyes again, as he expected, he was not in any real-world location. Everything around him was still made of blocks, but the sky, terrain, and environment all felt unfamiliar.

Fang Mo looked around.

He found the sky was a strange cyan color.

The ground was an endless rocky wasteland, occasionally dotted with Nether bricks. There were some ashen soils and Twilight Highlands’ rich soils, twisted growths from the Twilight and Nether realms growing on them.

In addition, there were scattered blue unidentified blocks and pools, though the pools were filled not with water but molten liquid glass.

“Ah, this…”

Fang Mo was momentarily stunned, realizing this was indeed an alternate world.

Thinking of this, Fang Mo planned to speak to his partner, but as he turned, he saw that the other person had already run off, busy mining those blue blocks with a pickaxe.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing this, Fang Mo curiously asked, “What’s that?”

“Mystcraft crystals can be used to make a portal-like thing for the Nether.”

The other person replied sullenly, “This is a huge loss, but I just thought, can’t you turn dimensions into reality? Why not do that for all dimensions? I want to make you the king of the multiverse.”

“… Huh?”
