Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 47:

Thor stood in awe as he beheld the fully restored Bifrost Bridge. His jaw dropped in astonishment. "No way, it's already fixed?"

Fang Mo shrugged casually. "This thing wasn't even broken in the first place."

Thor's attention was seized by Fang Mo's gesture, and he suddenly noticed the dagger on his chest. He paused for a moment and inquired, "What's the story behind this? Did Loki...?"

"The kid didn't know any better. It's not a big deal," Fang Mo replied, removing the dagger from his chest and nonchalantly tossing it aside. "Things got a bit tense earlier, but after having a heart-to-heart talk with him, we're good friends now."

"Really?" Thor regarded Loki skeptically.

Loki quickly nodded. "Of course, brother. I feel an instant connection with Fang Mo. We've become close friends."

"You're not playing tricks on me, are you?" Thor asked again, still harboring doubts.

"How could I?" Loki raised his hands sincerely. "I've changed for the better. You have to trust your little brother."

"Alright," Thor relented, sensing something amiss but choosing not to dwell on it. "The Bifrost is temporarily out of order due to the damage caused. Loki, you've made such a mess while I was away. I need to report this to Father."

"Father is still asleep. I think we can find an alternative solution," Loki suggested, wearing an awkward yet polite smile. "Brother, what if we inform Mother about this? After all, Father... he's exhausted, and we shouldn't bother him."

"Mother won't forgive you either," Thor retorted, rolling his eyes. "Do you think destroying Jotunheim is a minor issue?"

"I'm just following your example," Loki mercilessly replied to his unfortunate brother. "Didn't you defeat them barehanded? What's with this newfound attitude? Have you forgotten your past bravery and glory?"

Thor found himself at a loss for words. Yes, he had been like that before he was banished. After a prolonged silence, he finally spoke slowly, "Brother, I have changed."

Loki smiled cunningly. "Oh, how convenient. So have I."

While the two engaged in their argument, a large group of soldiers swiftly approached from the other side of the Bifrost Bridge, effectively encircling Thor and Loki.

Loki seemed as if he wanted to say something, but before he could, a green light materialized. An illusion of Frigga manifested before them. Loki, who had just mentioned Frigga, fell silent immediately, assuming the demeanor of a guilty child.

"Mother," Thor interjected, stepping forward in a crucial moment. "Everything has been resolved. Please rest assured."

"Come to Odin's chamber," Frigga instructed, unable to say much in the presence of the guards. "I have something to discuss with both of you."

The subsequent events were rather straightforwarda case of misbehaving children receiving a lecture from their parents.

However, Fang Mo couldn't be bothered with any of it. He directly greeted Frigga, who reciprocated by arranging accommodation for him with the Asgardian warriors.

There was no other option. Although the Bifrost Bridge had not sustained damage this time, its teleportation function was temporarily unavailable. Thanks to the insane spinning speed and the impact from Fang Mo's Cleaver, it was a miracle that it hadn't exploded. Repairing it would take a few days, necessitating Fang Mo to stay in Asgard temporarily.

Staying in Asgard for a few days was indeed Fang Mo's intention.

After all, this place could be described as a mod paradise. In just a short while, Fang Mo had already discovered five mods. It was truly astonishing.

Since Loki and Thor hadn't directly destroyed the Bifrost Bridge this time, Odin didn't awaken prematurely to save his son or intervene in any way. It wasn't until the third day that he appeared in the palace to address various matters and clean up the aftermath left by his two beloved sons.

Furthermore, Odin also had a private meeting with Fang Mo.

Perhaps it was due to Fang Mo's role in resolving the conflicts between Loki and Thor, as well as presenting Frigga with an enchanted golden apple. Regardless, Odin's attitude towards Fang Mo had become rather courteous.

As for Fang Mo...

He also expressed his own requests to Odin.

Specifically, he desired the freedom to explore and investigate the palace. After all, he had paid the entrance fee and had no intention of causing any damage. Odin likely believed that Fang Mo, being a Midgardian Sorcerer, might have an interest in the unknown, so he granted permission.

Over the course of these few days, Fang Mo successfully unlocked two mods.

One was unlocked by encountering monsters in the wilderness forest of Asgard, a mod known as the Grimoire of Gaia. The other was unlocked during a drinking session with Thor and the Asgardian warriors, and it was the Pam's HarvestCraft Add-on mod.

Now, with regard to Loki...

Fang Mo took the opportunity to visit the dungeon.

After Loki had performed several storage spells for him, the system prompt finally sounded, unlocking a mod called "Super Backpack."

However, it's worth noting that this mod differed from the ones Fang Mo had previously unlocked.

Typically, most mods introduce additional items to the game, such as the Industrial Age, which bring forth new processes, items, and gameplay mechanics.

Yet, there are also a few lightweight mods that merely enhance certain functionalities of the game without introducing new items.

The most typical example would be the Mini Map mod.

Similarly, mods like Player Highlight, Chain Link, Metamorph, Fast Leaf Decay, and JEI share a similar nature.

They don't introduce new items, but they provide convenience for players.

In the case of the "Super Backpack" mod that Fang Mo had just unlocked, it fell into this lightweight category.

It didn't add new items to the game; instead, it introduced a setting that allowed Steve to increase his backpack capacity by consuming experience points. At most, it could expand Steve's backpack capacity by more than tenfold, truly a remarkably convenient feature.

However, for Fang Mo, it wasn't just this mod's functionality that surprised him.

In fact, what truly astonished Fang Mo was...

After loading this mod, an additional space inexplicably emerged within his mind.
