Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 1 Transmigration! ? Did I kill the system?

Chapter 1: Transmigration!? Did I kill the system?

【Ding--】

You have a new "Kill Me?" order pending processing.

[Target location has been located, navigation is enabled, please eliminate the target as soon as possible]

Shi Qian had a headache, and before he could recover, he heard an electronic voice, which sounded like he was being told to kill someone or something.

He only remembered that he opened Minecraft, which he hadn't played in a long time, created a new save file, and while the world was loading, his computer suddenly started flashing.

Then he lost consciousness.

He opened his eyes to find a blue panel in front of him, displaying the words he had just heard.

Startled, Shi Qian slapped himself. When he opened his eyes again and found that the thing was still there, he realized that he was not hallucinating.

"What is 'Killed'? What kind of system is this?"

After clicking the panel a few times, I found that apart from opening and closing the interface, nothing else popped up.

Shi Qian then took a look at his current surroundings.

It was dusk, and he was on a plain. To the upper left of his field of vision was a small pixel map, and to the lower left of his field of vision were a row of pixel hearts, and to the right were a row of pixel chicken legs.

There are two markers on the minimap. The white marker in the middle should be yourself, and there is a red marker about 200 meters northeast of yourself, which looks like the kill target mentioned on the panel.

"Have I... time-traveled? Or is it Minecraft?!"

Shi Qian was both surprised and delighted. He had never imagined that he would actually experience time travel, something that only happened in novels.

It's getting dark. This is a plain, and there's no wood or anything nearby. It seems the only option is to dig three sections and fill in one.

As Shi Qian thought this, he didn't stop what he was doing.

A few seconds later, the grass block under your feet shrank and turned into a dirt block that fell to the ground.

Shi Qian continued digging, but even as he was about to dig out the second clod of earth, the first clod of earth still hadn't entered his backpack.

"Uh-huh!"

"Holy crap! Where's my inventory?!"

Seeing the two blocks wobbling on the ground, unable to be picked up, Shi Qian was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

"Who's a good Samaritan who got their inventory banned while playing Minecraft?!"

Unconvinced, Shi Qian dug up soil in different places and even dug up grass seeds.

But he was able to pick up none of the dropped items.

"No way, we really can't play anymore—"

After his attempts failed and darkness fell, Shi Qian decided to lie down.

Looking up at the pixelated moon, he noticed that the red dot on the minimap suddenly started moving in his direction.

"Oh right, how could I have forgotten about this?"

When God closes a door, He always opens a window.

Even though he can't use his inventory, he still has that panel.

That thing is probably an essential cheat code for time travel, and it seems to be used for killing.

After thinking it through, Shi Qian jumped up and ran towards his destination.

Upon getting closer, Shi Qian realized that it seemed to be a player.

"I'm not the only one in this world after all. I just don't know if he's a native player or someone who transmigrated like me."

Shi Qian circled around to the back of a sloping hill and observed the player from the side. He noticed that the player seemed to be being chased by something, and his health bar had already dropped by a quarter.

"Is anyone there?! There are zombies! Help!"

The player was running and shouting, but he was probably not very full, so he was getting slower and slower.

The player was hit twice more by the zombies that caught up from behind, and their health instantly dropped to zero.

Seeing that his target was about to be killed by the zombie, Shi Qian didn't care about anything else and rushed over to headshot him with his hand speed.

Then run away quickly, leaving the zombie that lost its target and the pile of dirt scattered on the ground in a daze.

Zombie: Roar—Where am I, a living person?

【Ding--】

Congratulations on completing the beginner's quest – defeating a player!

[Did you kill it? System upgrade in progress...]

Shi Qian hid in a relatively safe place, and when he opened the panel, he heard these words.

"Newbie quests? Looks like I'll be killing even more people from now on..."

"I wonder if it will make me kill any creature other than the player."

This world should be on hard mode; when the zombie attacked the player just now, his health bar dropped very quickly.

The zombies have high attack power; I estimate I won't be able to withstand more than a few hits.

Moreover, because of running, my satiety level has dropped by two bars. If I can't find a way to replenish it, I'm afraid I'll starve to death.

As everyone knows, time travelers only have one life.

Shi Qian didn't dare to gamble on whether he could withstand the curse in MC.

Furthermore, without an inventory, it seems impossible to equip the Totem of Undying, which puts my life in danger.

Just then, the system upgrade was completed.

【Ding--】

[Killed? Update complete]

【Hello host, I am Xiao Sha】

"Holy crap, we can talk now?"

【Yes host】

Shi Qian looked at the blue panel with curiosity. There was a small, blinking pixelated knife on it, which he guessed was the system image.

"Where am I? Who am I? What do you do? Why don't I have an inventory? How am I supposed to survive?"

[Hello host, this is a virtual game in a parallel universe similar to your original world. Just like your Minecraft, there are players and various creatures here.]

You are the host selected by %$-@.

What made you choose me?

It was a string of gibberish. Shi Qian heard what Xiao Sha was saying, but he couldn't understand it.

[I am Xiao Sha, your system]

Since you did not log into this world as a player or creature, you do not have any data information here. Health and hunger are for your convenience in monitoring your own situation.

If I'm not a player or a creature, then what am I?

What would it mean for me if my health bar were to reach zero?

You gain energy by killing players and creatures in this world. Energy can be used to provide you with items needed for survival, such as food and skills.

What an unoriginal name! I seriously suspect that Xiao Sha is terrible at naming things.

The next stage of the task has been updated for you.

"Oh?"

Shi Qian looked at the panel and found that there were new functional areas.

These are [Quests], [Shop], and [Backpack].

There is also a grayed-out "Skills" section.

He first checked his backpack, which was empty, but at least now he didn't have to worry about starving to death because he couldn't find food in Minecraft.

The store is filled with a dazzling array of items, and the prices on the homepage vary wildly.

From bread with 10 energy points to custom blocks with 100 million energy points.

There are even a few modules with extremely high prices, but they are all grayed out and locked.

Shi Qian quickly checked and it seemed that only food was currently unlockable. Did he have to spend energy points to unlock it, and then spend more energy points to buy it...?

He glanced at his current energy level.

【-twenty four】

"Why is my energy level negative?"

Shi Qian was genuinely bewildered when he saw this number.

[Both system activation and upgrades require energy points, dear!]

...

"A rip-off."

[It's no use for the host to scold Xiao Sha, sob]

"What the hell is this whiny girl!"

[Ahem...it seems the host doesn't like this approach.]

[A reminder to the host: activating Xiao Sha also requires energy. The longer you chat with Xiao Sha, the more negative your energy will become.]

"Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
