Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 74 Completion
"Clang, clang, clang~"

The perspective has now shifted to a dark and oppressive cave.

At the end of this deep cave, a flickering light could be seen, accompanied by occasional clanging sounds.

As you get closer, you can see a bird about the size of a pigeon, holding a pickaxe bigger than its body, frantically swinging and hammering at the rocks in front of it.

The next moment, with a "crack" sound, the rock shattered, and the fragments quickly shrank and entered Lü Gu's backpack.

He then became impatient.

As the torchlight shone, one could see that as the stones were dug out, a patch of dry soil was revealed behind them.

This kind of geology was one of the situations that Lü Gu hated most when playing games in his previous life.

I don’t know if it was because I chose the wrong location, but less than 100 meters from the farm, Lü Gu dug straight down.

After digging to a depth of about three or four meters from the ground, they began to widen the trench laterally.

The underground structure turned out to be completely different from the previous ones; it was neither rock nor soil, but a mixture of both, making it extremely difficult to dig.

If it weren't for the noise, Lü Gu would have liked to pull out TNT and blow it up directly, which would have been much easier than constantly switching between tools to dig.

Thinking this, he didn't stop what he was doing. He switched to the shovel and started digging up clods of earth.

Every few meters they dug, they would put up a scaffold behind them to support them and prevent collapse.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

While it's true that switching tools for mining is troublesome and time-consuming, that's only relative to the performance in the game.

In the game Minecraft, sunrise and sunset take only 20 minutes, but time in the real world moves much slower.

They dug out the largest cavity in the Hell Gate, and then left two more spaces above and below it. It took less than half an hour in total.

However, this is also thanks to Lu Gu's current abundance of enchanting materials, although diamonds are not enough to make a set of armor.

However, these work tool sets have long been replaced with diamond materials and have all been given basic enchantments.

Finally, the excavation was completed. Lü Gu stood in the corner, looking at the huge cave he had dug in a short period of time, and felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Since it was just a pre-excavation of space to place the Nether portal, no decorative work was done.

The overall area looked rather dark and gloomy, with only a few scattered torches stuck in the ground to prevent obstruction of the surroundings.

Moreover, in this vast underground space, every few meters there is a scaffolding structure that resembles a pillar, extending from the ground to the soil above for support.

Finish these.

The rest of the work is much simpler.

For ease of operation, Lü Gu was still in his bat form.

Because it has only a one-block collision volume and can float, it is very convenient to build blocks.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, the tools in his hand quickly switched and changed, finally settling on a dark, cold-looking object.

Although it becomes much more detailed and realistic in reality, the color and texture are still the obsidian commonly used in games.

Although half a set had been used up in the previous small-scale Hell Gate setups, Lu Gu still had about two sets of obsidian reserves.

After building this large Hell Gate, if you use it sparingly, you can make 2 to 3 smaller ones.

Including the previously set up portals, there can be nearly ten Nether portals, but due to the characteristic of merging Nether portal coordinates nearby.

The spacing between them cannot be too close; this quantity is barely enough for now.

But if that's not enough, we'll have to make another trip to the Hawaiian volcanoes.

I saw on the news that there was a volcanic eruption there, so it should be easier to mine obsidian now, right?

My mind is full of random thoughts.

This has always been Lu Gu's habit when playing Minecraft. As a building enthusiast, repeatedly building and dismantling through trial and error is extremely tedious.

Once you become proficient, your speed will increase, but the feeling of loneliness will only become stronger.

Therefore, Lü Gu gradually developed a way of relieving boredom by having random thoughts in his mind during the game.

And it won't interfere with your hand movements.

This is perhaps a necessary experience for many people who play the game alone.

No matter the time, MC always seems to exude a sense of emptiness and loneliness.

This is how it was before I traveled through time, and it seems that nothing has changed after I started playing the real-life version of Minecraft.

My mind is "idling," but my hands are moving at lightning speed.

Amidst a series of "duangduangduang" sounds as blocks were placed, a massive 23x23 obsidian Nether portal gradually took shape.

Then, Lü Gu decorated the door frame and four corners with hellish rock flowing with dark red hues and soul sand that constantly twisted and changed, densely packed with ghostly faces.

With the completion of the project, the originally ordinary black door frame suddenly took on a "hellish" appearance.

The final work.

Lu Gu smiled slightly, took out a flint and steel, and tapped it twice.

As a spark appeared, particles gathered into a thin, purple curtain in the empty space of the doorway.

It was still slowly rotating, constantly spreading purplish-black dust in all directions.

Due to size issues.

Standing in the center, Lü Gu felt that the special effects under his feet were like the summoning circle for the demon king to descend in a fantasy story.

After standing in the dazzling purple light for a while, Lü Gu returned to the spot where he had dug underground, removed the clods of earth that were obscuring him, and flapped his wings to fly back to the ground.

...

At that moment, a brightly colored robin emerged from a gap in a haystack on the ground.

He looked around furtively, then turned back and, with a "duang," blocked the path with a clod of dirt.

Then, as if nothing had happened, it flapped its wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the next "location of death".

After several hours of busy work, Lü Gu was left with only 4 pieces of obsidian, which foreshadowed a grand "welcoming ceremony" about to unfold in this seemingly peaceful area.

As for what is welcome?
Lu Gu remembered that in his previous life, there were quite a few Satanists and cults that believed in hell in the United States.

Hell has appeared! They must be overjoyed, right? How can this not be a celebration?

Furthermore, the existence of hell is also a form of proof of their country's belief that God exists. I guess all Americans would be very excited about that.

Thinking this, Lü Gu, who had returned to human form, revealed a serene smile.

He rose from the oak steps beneath him and stood before the last, standard 4x5 Hell Gate that had been erected.

As the flint struck, a flash of purple light appeared, and the Gates of Hell were activated.

Lu Gu stepped inside directly.

Although the Nether in Minecraft has undergone numerous updates and its art style is already quite hellish with an exceptionally rich variety of scenery, it still feels somewhat lacking in refinement.

Automatically generated terrain can sometimes be too random and bland.

Lu Gu planned to spend an entire day beautifying and decorating the locations where the various gates of hell opened.

Striving to enhance the immersive and engaging experience without compromising the original beauty of the scenery, we aim to provide the most realistic hellish landscape for the "audience" who arrive later.

I just hope they'll like it.
