"It'll take three to six months to make? What a joke."
As Yang Tao drove Peter away from the Lamborghini sales center, he said to Peter beside him, "With three months, I could scavenge in other worlds and pick up a top-tier sports car for you."
Peter, who had just left the Lamborghini dealership, hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the luxury car's price. He knew Lamborghinis were expensive, but he never imagined that merely choosing a color would add over ten thousand US dollars to the cost.
If one were to name the poorest superhero in the Marvel world, Peter might not be the absolute poorest, but he would definitely be in the top three.
"Pick up?"
Can luxury cars just be picked up like that?
Peter thought such a world must be great.
"There's a world where, due to a virus, humanity is almost wiped out. Luxury cars there are no different from scrap metal."
Upon hearing Yang Tao's words, what came to Peter's mind wasn't luxury cars, but the virus and the near-extinction of humanity.
"Oh my god, how did the virus come about?"
"Of course, it was developed by humans, just like those disaster movies you've seen."
Peter fell silent.
Just then, a series of disturbances suddenly broke out ahead, and an armored car was careening wildly.
Peter, who had been feeling a bit down, immediately became excited when he saw the man driving the vehicle. He said, "Mr. Yang, that's him…"
Actually, Yang Tao didn't need Peter's reminder; he had already seen Sandman, wearing a striped sweater.
"I'll park Harry's car first…"
Shifting gears and reversing, Yang Tao controlled the car like a nimble fish, weaving through the oncoming traffic, with honking horns echoing all around.
Until he drove the car into a small alley.
"Peter, you go first. I'll be right there."
Peter, carrying his backpack with his suit, nodded, then opened the car door and stood in the alley, manually donning his suit. To be honest, this version of the Spider-Man suit was really poor.
It started as modified pajamas.
Later, when he worked in the lab, he finally got a high-polymer suit.
Yang Tao put the car into his backpack, took out a Wither Skeleton Head to conceal his identity, and then flew towards the source of the chaos.
He effortlessly leaped between buildings.
By the time he arrived, the armored car had already been overturned by Peter.
Sandman's strength is considerable, especially his near-immunity to physical attacks. In a desert, he's practically immortal.
Unfortunately, this was in the city.
Peter and Sandman were locked in a fierce battle, evenly matched, and for a time, neither could gain an advantage.
Yang Tao looked around and quickly spotted a fire hydrant standing by the roadside.
He walked over and distorted it open with force. A stream of water gushed out from the fire hydrant due to the pressure. Seeing this, Yang Tao held a Battlesign against the water flow.
Instantly, the powerful water stream changed direction and rushed onto Sandman's body, scattering his sand-composed form.
The strong impact even knocked Peter to the ground, and Sandman's body immediately lost its ability to control the sand.
He opened his mouth wide, forming a silent plea for help, but unfortunately, under the action of the water flow, he lost the ability to vocalize, only able to struggle weakly as he flowed with the water towards the sewer.
Yang Tao naturally wouldn't let Sandman leave so easily. He tightened the fire hydrant again, walked to the accumulated water, and looked at Sandman, who had melted into a puddle.
Seeing Peter return to his side, he quietly said, "Let me take him away… There are too many people watching here."
Whether to let Sandman go or kill him, it had no impact on Yang Tao, but it would greatly affect Spider-Man, as this was Spider-Man's home.
He took out a bucket and aimed it at the Sandman on the ground, scooping him in. The bucket, only the size of a human head, managed to contain all of the fragmented Sandman.
Looking at Sandman in the bucket, Yang Tao tried to put the bucket into his backpack, but the bucket full of sand didn't react:.
'Sure enough, I can't be a slacker… I remember there's a mod that lets you put creatures in buckets… If only I had that mod, I could totally bring out Ender Dragon, Ice Queen, and the Lich…'
Currently, he could only carry the bucket by hand, using his Moonwalk ability to jump onto a nearby tall building. Seeing this, Peter also shot out his web and followed behind Yang Tao.
The two circled around and returned to the laboratory.
He poured the wet Sandman onto the ground, patted Peter's shoulder, and said, "He's in your hands… Whatever decision you make, I'll support you."
With that, Yang Tao left the space to Peter and Sandman. In fact, he had already guessed how Peter would choose. Peter's personality was too kind, but isn't that precisely why he is Spider-Man?
Arriving at the lab and seeing everyone busy, Yang Tao felt that it would be difficult to have a breakthrough in the experiments without at least one or two months.
'I should have accumulated enough materials. I'll go back and check…'
More than half a day had passed, which should be enough time to produce two material fabricators.
Summoning a wooden door, Yang Tao returned to the world of "Girl's Last Tour" via the Overworld.
The grinder was still running, emitting a piercing hum.
He walked over, opened the chest, and took out the ground copper, tin, and coal dust inside, then opened the crafting interface.
'First, make alloys and carbon plates. Oh, and circuit boards and advanced circuit boards…'
IndustrialCraft 2 consumes a lot of materials, and they are materials that require processing and synthesis, which severely tests one's thinking and planning.
If not planned in advance, there would be no time for mining after playing the Industrial mod.
It took a few more hours.
Yang Tao finally produced the UU-Matter generator and two recyclers.
A recycler is a machine that has a chance to recycle most items into scrap. Each item has a 12.5% chance of being recycled into scrap, and it can even recycle blocks like bedrock.
Scrap can be used to help produce UU-Matter, make fertilizer, and scrap boxes…
Fertilizer is similar to bone meal, while scrap boxes are similar to lucky blocks, except that most of the items drawn are some of the most basic original materials, such as sticks and wooden pickaxes…
The best you can get are emeralds and diamonds.
Compared to the materials and energy invested, it's purely a losing business; what's left is simply idle time.
Yang Tao sat by the UU-Matter generator, like a man waiting outside a delivery room, excitedly anticipating the arrival of UU-Matter.
Because of the fertilizer, a pink, Terraria-like slime-shaped UU-Matter quickly entered the chest through the hopper.
"It's finally born… bah, I mean, produced."
The beginning is always the hardest. Now, all he had to do was wait quietly. He took the UU-Matter out of the chest. It was slightly smaller than a fist and felt squishy and elastic in his hand.
"One Iridium Ore requires seven UU-Matter…"
"Looking at it this way, the quantum suit will only take half a day!"
