Chapter 706: Mom's Love Module

"Eh!?"

Hearing this inexplicable system notification, Fang Mo couldn't help but be taken aback.

What surprised him was not just this mod but also how Xiao Momo just addressed him.

"Daughter, what... did you just call me?"

Fang Mo glanced down at the adorable young dragon girl and hesitantly asked.

"Daddy," Momo blinked in confusion, seemingly not understanding why Fang Mo cared about this question, "What's wrong, Daddy?"

"Um..."

Fang Mo was at a loss for words.

So, this little one has been calling me "Mom" for decades without unlocking any mods, and now she calls me "Dad" once and unlocks a Mom's Love mod. Even Fang Mo didn't know how to react.

If he recalled correctly, it was a domestic mod, similar to "Wildly Eat," and there was a ranking list on the MC Wiki forum where this mod ranked quite high.

Mom's Love mod, as the name implies.

This mod can effectively prevent players from being killed by the dragon...

Alright, that's all nonsense; it can't prevent anything. In essence, it's a no-death-drop mod.

Of course, compared to the traditional no-death-drop, this mod is quite interesting because many servers, for balance reasons, do not easily enable no-death-drop.

For veteran players like Fang Mo.

He could almost complete an entire playthrough without dying.

But the problem is... there are always some adorable newbies whose skills are far inferior to Fang Mo's, not even understanding some basics. They might pick up U235 particles discarded by industrial players or enter the Nether portal wearing leather armor.

Of course, the consequences of such actions are dire.

That is, being corpse-camped.

Either they abandon everything in their backpack and start over or go through an endless cycle of deaths, which is too harsh for a newbie.

Thus, the Mom's Love mod came into being.

This mod provides specific players with a series of commands to let them experience having a mother.

With simple commands, server admins can grant some players a "mom" and set a related keyword. If these players get corpse-camped, they can enter the keyword, like "Mom, help me," to trigger commands granting no-death-drop privileges.

Overall, it's a quirky and humorous mod.

But it does have some functionality, such as helping newbies. Unfortunately, in Fang Mo's MC world, it's just him and Xiao Yao, and no-death-drop is already enabled.

So, for him.

This mod seems useless... not really.

Yes, despite it seeming useless in MC, you should know this is a functional mod. Fang Mo has experienced firsthand how outrageous the domestic "Wildly Eat" mod is, with its concept-level erasure power, right?

And because of this, Fang Mo was a bit curious about this mod.

So he directly muttered to confirm, and soon, a system notification sounded in his mind again.

[System Notification: Mom's Love mod successfully loaded.]

[System Notification: Since you have downloaded and run a new mod, you have received a Lucky Block, which will randomly draw an item from any known mod.]

Accompanied by the system notification.

A large amount of related information poured directly into Fang Mo's mind.

"Hmm..."

Fang Mo was slightly dazed but quickly understood how to use this ability, a flash of joy in his eyes, "As expected?"

"Expected what?"

Beside him, the voice of the female magician sounded: "You've been standing there dazed for a while now. Is something wrong?"

"Not sure, but I suddenly feel overwhelmed with Mom's Love..."

Hearing the mage's question, Fang Mo turned to look at her, "I urgently need to find a child to nurse. Do you have such an inclination?"

"???"

The female magician was stunned: "Aren't you a man?"

"Gender is trivial," Fang Mo waved his hand indifferently, "Just open your mouth; my Mom's Love is about to overflow."

"...Kill me, please."

The female magician sighed helplessly, "Really, I'm begging you."

"What's wrong with you?" Fang Mo said reproachfully, "Have you ever seen a mother harm her child? Seriously, you don't appreciate kindness... You're so short; did you drink milk as a kid?"

"Whose mother puts a child in cotton clothes in the middle of summer?"

The female magician couldn't help it, pointing at her snowman costume, "If I didn't know some ice magic, I'd be dead from the heat by now, okay?"

"There's a kind of cold that comes from your mom worrying you're cold."

Fang Mo said affectionately, "By the way, this is actually wool, so you're wearing a sweater I made myself..."

"Alright, enough, stop talking."

The female magician turned her head disdainfully, "In any case, it's about to get dark. I'd like to see how you plan to get to Hendon Myre."

"I'll ride my daughter," Fang Mo said, holding the little girl in his arms, "Didn't I just say that?"

"Daddy~"

The little girl, seemingly happy, laughed affectionately.

"Good girl," Fang Mo lovingly patted her head. "Ah, I was mistaken earlier. How could a man like me be overflowing with maternal love? It should be a doting father role for me... By the way, would you like to be my daughter too?"

As he spoke, Fang Mo glanced at the female magician not far away.

"Sorry... I don't want to."

The female magician sighed deeply. Before she could say another word, Fang Mo sighed dramatically, "What a pity, you've lost your father."

"You scoundrel!"

She couldn't hold back any longer.

"Oh, sorry, let me perform a summoning spell for you." Fang Mo made a random gesture with his hand. "There, now your father's spirit can return, but as a ghost father..."

"You're sick..."

The female magician opened her mouth to curse, but realizing it was pointless to argue with him, she understood that the more she engaged, the more excited he would get.

Thinking of this, she changed her approach.

"So... where did you abduct this poor girl from?" she asked, trying to shift the conversation. "Even though she's a dragonborn with wings, can she carry both of us? Don't you know that after the apostle Bakal left the female magician realm, all dragonkin were..."

"Little Momo, come, transform for Auntie."

Before she could finish her sentence, Fang Mo patted the little girl and then tossed her into the air.

"Roar!"

The little girl transformed, black-purple flames shooting skyward. In this apocalyptic breath, her small body rapidly changed, becoming mighty and imposing, with bone spurs protruding from her body, followed by thick, tough dragon scales.

Finally, as she resumed her true form, her giant triangular wings spread out, causing a howling wind and casting a massive shadow over everything around.

A terrifying aura rose from her, not just the majesty of the dragon race, but the absolute dominance of an Ender Dragon ruling over the End for eons.

"This... this is..."

The female magician, who had her arms crossed moments ago, was speechless at the sight.

At this moment, the Ender Dragon suddenly raised its head, its cold purple eyes fixating on her.

"!"

The female magician felt as if her blood had frozen, her pupils dilating, her consciousness filled with a chilling sense of death. In this daze, she remembered the legend of the female magician realm.

The original Ninth Apostle, Dragon King Bakal.

Though she had not witnessed the Dragon War, the tales from her predecessors painted a grim picture of those times.

Seeing this fearsome dragon now, she felt as if she were facing the legend itself.

"Ba... Bakal?"

Instinctively stepping back, she fell to the ground in shock, "Bakal?"

As she trembled in fear, Fang Mo suddenly patted the Ender Dragon, as if scolding a child. Instantly, the terrifying pressure vanished without a trace.

Fang Mo helped the female magician back up and dusted her off, "Don't worry, it's Macabaca."

"..."

The female magician, still shaken, glanced warily at the Ender Dragon again.

"Hmph..."

Feeling the mage's gaze, the dragon flicked its tail in annoyance.

Though living for several decades, Xiao Momo was still young for a dragon and often had a simple mindset. To her, her parents were always right, and anyone who badmouthed them was her enemy.

She wouldn't kill them outright, but she felt she needed to intimidate these enemies at the very least.

"You…"

Upon being helped up by Fang Mo, the female magician appeared visibly shaken. She quickly looked up at Fang Mo with suspicion and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"I've already told you, haven't I?" Fang Mo replied casually. "I'm just an ordinary Arad warrior."

"Stop lying."

The other party clearly wasn't buying it this time and immediately retorted, "Dragons are creatures that ordinary people can't tame. They're magical creations of the Apostles, and according to rumors, Bakal has long been dead in a place called the Heavenly Realm, causing dragons to become extinct."

"Extinct my foot."

Fang Mo raised his hand and randomly pointed in a direction. "Isn't there an ice dragon, Skasa, among the tribe in the north?"

"You're pointing south."

The other party reminded him.

"Ahem, close enough." Fang Mo retracted his hand and walked towards the Ender Dragon. "If you walk all the way south, you'll eventually end up back in the north, so it's fine…"

"Your dragon feels quite extraordinary to me."

However, the other party wasn't about to let it go and pursued, "You definitely aren't an ordinary person. I felt something was off when you threw that stone, and you seem to know everything. So… who exactly are you?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Fang Mo stopped halfway, turned around, and looked at the other person.

"…"

Although she didn't speak, her eyes revealed everything.

"Well, since you've asked so sincerely, I'll kindly tell you." Fang Mo shrugged. "Actually, I'm from another dimension. You should know that the Apostles of your female magician realm also come from other worlds, right?"

"I know."

Upon hearing this, the other party nodded. "According to the elders, Bakal seems to come from a world called Drakwald."

"My situation is similar. I also come from a very distant world, and of course, my world is far superior to those of the Apostles." Fang Mo responded. "As for my name…"

At this point, Fang Mo pondered for a moment.

Then he suddenly sighed, covering his forehead.

"Sigh, I actually have many names, like Allah, Jesus, etc. But last time when I was Jesus, I accidentally let a monkey escape from my palm, which was quite embarrassing. So this time, I decided to play a different role."

"What do you mean?"

The female magician was somewhat baffled.

"Yes, I've decided. Just call me Tathagata!" Fang Mo clapped his hands. "Next time you hear a hellish joke, you'll have Buddha to laugh with you. And look, you're a newcomer, a novice, while I have great wisdom. We complement each other perfectly."

"Who wants to complement you!"

The female magician couldn't help but shout again but quickly shrank back when she saw the Ender Dragon raise its head. "No… can't you choose another name?"

"Tsk, what a bother."

Fang Mo frowned slightly, annoyed. "Alright then… you can call me Jade Emperor."

"Jade Emperor?"

The other party frowned, thinking for a moment, but she hadn't heard of this name in any legend. She couldn't help but ask, "Does your name have any specific meaning?"

"Oh, its full title is something like Supreme Celestial Lord…"

"Alright, alright, stop."

The other party couldn't help but cover her forehead upon hearing this. "If you don't want to say, just leave it. Don't try to fool me with words I don't understand. Let's just head to Henomarl for now, and we can discuss any issues on the way."

"Alright." Fang Mo nodded and then patted the Ender Dragon. "Come on, my girl."

"You ride it yourself."

The other party timidly took a step back. "I-I'm scared…"

"Then let's ride together."

Fang Mo thought for a moment and extended another invitation.

"Can I walk there by myself?" The female magician was clearly scared, her eyes darting around. "Can you lend me the map to copy?"

"No."

Fang Mo was speechless. "What are you afraid of?"

"I…"

"Universal Pull, come here."

Annoyed, Fang Mo raised his hand and forcefully pulled her over. Holding her, he climbed onto the Ender Dragon's back, gently patted it twice, and said, "Come on, dear, let's take Dad to the sky."
