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.

Seeing everyone gathered, Fang Mo also smoothly landed there.

"So you finally deigned to come back?"

As soon as he landed, Nick Fury immediately started speaking, "Hurry and take me back to Earth. I've already picked several hundred pounds of cotton, and now there's an emergency situation that needs to be dealt with."

"Really picked it?"

Fang Mo was also a bit surprised upon hearing this: "Where did you put it? I'll turn it into a few cotton quilts to give away."

"It was burned by that guy called Thanos with the Infinity Stones," Nick Fury said without hesitation. "If you're looking for it, go ask him. Anyway, I've finished my part."

"And mine too."

Stark immediately added, "Also burned."

"I suspect you guys didn't pick any cotton at all," Fang Mo said with a twitch in his eye, "but I have no evidence."

"You know, I really did pick some."

Stark immediately said, "Although I'm researching artificial intelligence, don't forget that I have that what's-it-called substitute. I had it wear nanotech armor to pick for me. Listen, Fang Mo, I'm thoroughly fed up with this godforsaken place. Let me return to Earth now; I miss my Pepper."

"How about I let some birds poop here, and you stay a couple more days?"

Fang Mo asked with a shrug.

"...Do you think that's the point?" Stark was almost speechless, "That Thanos, who's as cunning as a purple cabbage, just appeared. He almost destroyed all our research achievements. Now, we must hurry back to Earth to find a solution."

"Yes, Fang Mo."

Even the Rocket Raccoon couldn't help but chime in, "You know? When I saw that purple-headed glove... and the blue gem, I thought something happened to you. I just charged at that lump of purple dog poop with all my might!"

"I can vouch for that."

Nick Fury said, "If I must speak the truth, I can assure you that Rocket really did charge. If it weren't for Stark covering him, all you'd see now would be a tuft of fur."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Fang Mo was somewhat surprised as he looked at Rocket Raccoon, "The Space Stone was an accident. I was planning to temporarily leave the spaceship to Star-Lord and the others. I didn't expect Thanos to have the guts to go to Earth to snatch the stones. But it's not a big problem. His goal is to use the six stones to make a wish, so he has to pass me anyway. But to be honest... whenever he comes, he's going to die."

Saying this, Fang Mo's face also showed a righteous indignation, "Damn it, he dared to come here to bully my friends. Wait until I catch him; I'll directly execute him on the spot, letting you guys take turns to vent your anger by smacking his purple butt. This is a punishment I invented called the Purple Butt Punishment..."

"Uh, my God."

Rocket Raccoon said with an unbearable look, "Please no, that's just too disgusting, mate..."

"Sorry, I'm not interested in that stuff," Stark also hurriedly shook his head. "Maybe Hulk would be interested, but not me. I only love Pepper now, and I even call her for intergalactic long-distance chats every night."

"Thanos was supposed to be the villain who wanted to destroy everything, but hearing you say this... suddenly makes me think you're much more evil than him."

Nick Fury said, "We're supposed to be the superhero members of the Avengers. Can't you act a bit more humane? I know it's hard for you, but at least pretend a bit? Even if a pervert is interested in a woman, he wouldn't drop his pants at the first meeting; he'd express his interest more subtly..."

"It then depends on the guy's nationality and skin color."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Fang Mo immediately interrupted: "In the kingdom I once lived in, such a thing would not happen, but here... I'm not too sure."

"Do you do anything other than disparage us black people?"

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."
