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

"Oh? Since you knew it was me, why didn't you move away?"

Shi Qian looked at the player in front of him with great interest.

Although I don't know what he's up to, with my current abilities, I definitely won't die from dealing with a player.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ran Xiao. I'm here to make a deal with you."

"Ah."

Shi Qian laughed when he heard this familiar phrase, and Ran Xiao naturally knew what he was thinking.

He glanced awkwardly to the side.

"Well, how about you listen to what I have to say first?"

Shi Qian nodded slightly, waiting for him to continue.

He wasn't in a hurry. Although the player's items were useless to him, he was still a little curious about what Ranxiao would say.

"You're hunting players, aren't you?"

"I like the word 'hunting,' but please get to the point."

Shi Qian showed a hint of impatience, and Ran Xiao knew she couldn't waste any more words.

"I want to be with you, but you have to fight me and beat me."

"?"

Shi Qian was a bit confused. Was this player out of his mind? Why was he so eager to die?

Seeing his expression, Ran Xiao quickly added:

"You can't use those monster-like special abilities of yours to fight me as a player."

"But I'm not a player~ and with my abilities, it seems I don't need you."

Shi Qian casually shrugged, as if to say, "You can't do anything about it."

Now it was Ran Xiao's turn to be confused. Could this thing really be a spider demon?

Thinking of this, he immediately took a step back.

"Don't be so nervous. It's not a bad idea to have a fight with you, after all..."

"You're my target this time."

Ran Xiao felt that although there were some mistakes in the process, the result of the duel with Shi Qian was still achieved.

I'm very curious about Shi Qian, but things might not be as good as I think...

Shi Qian saw Ran Xiao ready to attack and charged straight at her.

Without using any skills, their single-target damage is exactly the same.

It's just that Shi Qian has five more drops of health, and his attack speed is the same, so he won't die.

Shi Qian was also very confident in himself.

"If you can't even beat one player, you might as well not live."

Although previous missions relied on skills to easily defeat weaker opponents, some players also resorted to sneak attacks and ambushes.

His movement skills have improved somewhat.

Moreover, he is here in person, unlike the players who are connected via data.

However, since he was going to fight seriously, Shi Qian still recalled the little bit of consciousness he had left behind on his clone.

The battle is about to begin.

After Shi Qian rushed over, he first placed a block in front of Ran Xiao to block his advance.

"?"

A question mark popped up above Ran Xiao's head, and then she immediately realized what it meant.

Next, a cluster of sweet berries was placed in the next spot and allowed to ripen quickly.

"Wow, you're doing well."

However, Shi Qian had already changed direction long before Ran Xiao planted the sweet berries.

The sweet berries that Ranxiao offered did not prick Shi Qian; instead, they brought him even closer.

At this point, there's no need to use items or props to fight anymore.

Both sides drew their weapons.

Shi Qian noticed that Ran Xiao was holding a stone sword, in order to save some of the durability of the iron sword.

No.

To ensure fairness, the stone sword was replaced with the one we bought earlier.

At first, the two of them fought cautiously with their swords.

Attack, blocked; attack, blocked.

After two rounds, Ran Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly lunged forward and slashed down.

However, Shi Qian dodged it by flanking him.

She also exposed her back.

Shi Qian seized the opportunity and secured the first blood.

However, Ran Xiao did not reveal any weaknesses after being injured.

The two remained deadlocked for a while longer.

Shi Qian took out a snowball with his left hand and threw it directly at Ran Xiao.

As expected, the snowball landed on Ran Xiao due to the 100% hit rate passive attribute.

He shivered from the cold, but he was not about to back down.

Seeing that Shi Qian didn't intend to end the battle purely with a sword, he took out a stone pickaxe.

Shi Qian kept a close eye on his hand movements, ready to defend himself at any moment.

But unexpectedly, Ranxiao used the stone draft as a boomerang.

The wooden pickaxe handle struck the back of his head.

"I still throw pretty accurately."

Seeing that she had finally managed to attack Shi Qian, Ran Xiao smiled.

But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Shi Qian pulled out a door.

Yes, a wooden door.

It came crashing down on Ran Xiao's head.

Ran Xiao was still in shock and was hit several times.

Wooden doors have a bonus to falling attacks, making them much stronger than manual attacks.

Moreover, it can't be damaged even if you cut it directly with a sword.

When Shi Qian lifted the door panel again, Ran Xiao finally realized what was happening and rolled to the side.

He took out his bow and shot two arrows at Shi Qian.

However, only one arrow hit the mark, causing Shi Qian to lose three drops of blood.

Then he got up, cut out the stone sword, and charged at Shi Qian again.

However, Shi Qian calmly twirled his sword and raised his hand to block the attack.

Then, with a backhand thrust, he stabbed into Ran Xiao's chest.

Using that force, he pushed Ranxiao to the ground.

Just as he was about to pull out his sword and finish him off, he logged off.

"Stop! It's like a puja! It's like a puja! I'm going to die!"

Shi Qian didn't stop, but his movements slowed down a bit.

"But my mission is to kill you."

Without hesitation, he drew his sword and stabbed Ran Xiao in the neck.

But just as Ran Xiao closed her eyes, ready to accept reality, the scene of death never came.

He quietly opened his eyes and found that Shi Qian seemed to be thinking about something with his head down.

Just as Shi Qian's sword was about to touch his neck, Shi Qian's "Kill Me?" system popped up a notification that saved his life.

【Ding--】

[The target host has been detected to have an intention to submit]

[The Respect Panel is now open for the host]

[Click to view details]

"Hmm? Something new?"

Shi Qian stopped killing the first player because of the system, which gave him a notification right in front of him.

Let's go see what this "Respect Panel" is all about.

After examining it, Shi Qian discovered that this thing seemed to be something like a contract.

wrong.

It's more like a contract.

You can form a contract with other players.

Once a player signs a contract, they become his subordinate.

However, such a contract requires the player to genuinely approve of Shi Qian.

Seeing that the system offered three free contract object checks, Shi Qian simply scanned Ran Xiao.

The match rate was found to be as high as 89%.

Once the contract matches at a 60% match rate, you can sign it.

The higher the matching degree, the higher the conversion rate of the energy value collected by the player from the creatures and monsters killed.

Furthermore, players can also obtain a new energy source called Respect Value.

However, Shi Qian has not yet obtained it, nor can he see what this energy value can do.

After studying the new panel, Shi Qian glanced at Ran Xiao, who had run to the sweet berry bushes to heal.

"What did you say you were going to do in the first place?"

Suddenly called upon, Ran Xiao looked up, somewhat bewildered.

"what?"

"I won the deal you made. Don't tell me you've forgotten what you said..."

Shi Qian glared at Ran Xiao.
