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

On the player's side, two aggrieved individuals from the forum contacted each other privately.

The coordinates were found to be very close together, because the victims could understand each other's feelings.

Both sides had lost some of their supplies, so they decided to develop together.

We'll also gather more players to brainstorm ways to deal with Shi Qian.

They chose to locate their new home on the banks of a river between the two sides.

The riverbanks are plains and forests, ideal for building and resource gathering, and the coordinates were posted on the forum.

Many players who lived nearby were drawn to Shi Qian's mysterious nature and came to see what was going on.

Feng Ning also compiled the information about Shi Qian from both sides and listed all the abilities he has shown so far.

It was posted on the forum with pictures to warn players in the area to be vigilant.

Because Shi Qian has been playing alone so far, there is no information about other similar players on the forum.

Furthermore, players from Fengning's side had attacked Shi Qian before, so they concluded that he was not invincible and that as long as there were enough people, they could definitely kill him and avenge him.

The three players who were digging up the abandoned mine tunnels on the plains also saw the post on the forum.

Since the respawn point was nearby and their only losses were a few pickaxes, they brought all their supplies and came straight there.

The plains officially began to become a gathering place for players.

After completing two more tasks, Shi Qian decided to go and grind monsters again.

He was finding it hard to keep up with the increasing number of target players for the mission.

Moreover, the players were already on guard as soon as they saw him.

If players don't stick together, the battle can't be resolved quickly.

Shi Qian had long since finished the bread in his newbie gift pack, and even his iron sword only had three points of durability left.

He decided to grind monsters anyway to upgrade his skills.

I've returned to my happy hometown.

This refers to the spider spawner in the abandoned mine tunnel.

The players were unaware that the person they had been worried about was actually just a short distance away from them.

The mine that Shi Qian entered has also been explored by other players.

However, players usually go straight down to mine and rarely enter abandoned mine tunnels.

As one of the guides on the forum said, the abandoned mine tunnels are extremely dangerous and should never be explored without strong abilities.

He also attached a screenshot of the death.

Besides the huge "You are dead" sign, the background of the picture is filled with countless spiders.

Not only ordinary spiders, but also green poisonous spiders.

Players who saw that post, even those without insect phobia or trypophobia, were scared out of their wits.

This image has been widely circulated among players, and it's been posted in various groups whenever someone mentions going mining.

From then on, apart from the brave few who dared to peek out from the outside, no one else ever went into the abandoned mine tunnels.

Shi Qian also enjoyed a period of peaceful monster-exploding.

After upgrading Poison, Explosion, and Poison Arrow to level two, I farmed a bit more before finally climbing out.

[Poison Level 2: Inflicts a level 2 poison effect on the target for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds (cannot be fatal)]

[Can be upgraded to level 3 by consuming 4000 energy points]

【爆炸2级：消耗自身血量上限50%进行一次以自身为中心5*5*5范围的爆炸，冷却时间50秒；或消耗自身血量上限90%进行一次以自身为中心6*6*6范围的爆炸，冷却时间100秒】

[Note: Can destroy stone, but cannot destroy minerals; damage is halved in water.]

[Can be upgraded to level 3 by consuming 5000 energy points]

[Poison Arrow Level 2: Fires an arrow without a bow, inflicting a level 2 poison effect for 4 seconds. 10-second cooldown (the poison effect is not fatal)]

[Can be upgraded to level 3 by consuming 4000 energy points]

The explosion range has increased after the upgrade, and the cooldown time is also shorter.

Although the cooldown time for both poisons remains the same, the damage is higher.

Shi Qian looked at the difference between level 1 poisoning and level 2 poisoning.

It's basically the difference between a Poison Potion and a Poison Potion with 2 single-target damage per second.

The next upgrade will probably be a cooldown reduction, but that's too expensive.

The cheapest level 3 card costs 4000 points, which Shi Qian simply cannot afford.

After unlocking, Shi Qian unlocked the clone skill.

I plan to go out and do the mission myself, while my clone stays here and slowly grinds monsters to accumulate energy for me.

Although the clone only inherits 30% of the original's abilities, it's enough to fix the spider's feet.

Shi Qian tried operating the two bodies simultaneously and found it quite novel.

After all, it's about seeing yourself from a different perspective.

Moreover, you don't need to be fully focused to create a clone; you just need to think about what the clone will do in advance.

It's essentially a "robot" that can check its field of vision at any time.

However, one cannot retain all consciousness on the main body, otherwise the clone will freeze up like a computer crashing.

Shi Qian pinched the clone's face and found that it actually felt pretty good.

But I don't feel that way when I pinch my own face.

After turning off the clone's ability to feel no pain, Shi Qian left some consciousness here to control the monster-fighting.

Then another mission started.

After all, the knife is already sharpened; how can it not be used to cut the flesh?

【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 glanced at it and realized that the target was actually very close this time.

It was even not far from the entrance of the mine.

However, when Shi Qian returned from there, there were clearly no players gathered there.

And this time the target was actually moving.

He had only seen this situation during the beginner quests.

"Could it be... that this mission is with a player?"

Shi Qian couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one.

However, since the system upgrade, Shi Qian has been constantly assigned to multiplayer tasks.

Even before he started farming monsters again, his target number of players had already reached 20.

"What exactly happened...?"

Shi Qian emerged from the mine with a skeptical attitude, gradually approaching his target.

"It really is the same person... Could it be that they have some extraordinary abilities?"

Shi Qian was not careless at all; after he leveled up, those who could be marked as targets by the system were definitely not ordinary players.

But just as Dang Qian rushed over, intending to engage this player in a direct confrontation, he suddenly turned around.

"hello."

"?"

Shi Qian slowed his pace; he sensed something was wrong.

This player saw someone running towards him with an iron sword in hand, but he wasn't afraid at all; he even smiled and greeted him.

This is not something a normal player would do.

Shi Qian raised his guard against this player to a new level.

"You're that guy who's really popular on the forum, right..."

"forum..."

It seems that someone had previously posted their own story on the forum, which attracted his attention.

Since he knew what I was going to do, why didn't he avoid it or run away?
