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

As Shi Qian was running towards the plain, a voice suddenly came from his left rear.

"Shi Qian! Are you still taking on underlings?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Qian slammed on the brakes.

"What the hell?"

Turning around, I saw three players walking over together.

"Shi Qian, Shi Qian, can we be your little brothers like Ran Xiao?"

"...?"

These words really stunned Shi Qian, but then he remembered what Ran Xiao had mentioned about the player forum.

That tells us he probably posted about being recruited.

Shi Qian didn't really want to deal with these guys, so he chose to increase his mission progress by 3.

【Ding--】

[Congratulations, host, on surpassing the 100-person mark! Here's a 100-person reward for you!]

[You have already saved it to your system inventory]

Looking at the large pile of debris on the ground, Shi Qian felt he should thank them.

The 100-person award didn't give out energy points or unlock items, but the items were still quite useful.

血量上限+5、基础攻击力+3、系统面板坐标显示功能、20耐久铁剑*1、面包*20。

The coordinate display function is like an upgrade to Shiqian's minimap.

He can now view his own and his clone's real-time coordinates.

After confirming that he hadn't gone the wrong way, Shi Qian continued walking towards the plains.

Just then, I saw on the auxiliary panel that Ranxiao had gone online.

He sent a message to Ran Xiao, asking her to go to the entrance of the mine where they had met.

Since Shi Qian can now fight monsters, the iron sword is not very useful.

I didn't use the iron sword I had last time, so I'll just give it to Ranxiao this time.

Ran Xiao is considered a model worker.

Basically, logging in means doing tasks.

And here I am, online as soon as I got up.

After Ranxiao became popular on the player forum, her live streaming business also took off, with many people flocking to her streams as soon as she started.

I received a message from Shi Qian as soon as I went live, so I greeted him in the live stream and rushed to the mine without stopping.

When Shi Qian arrived, Ran Xiao had already drawn several circles on the ground.

This made Shi Qian chuckle.

Just as he was about to offer to give him the iron sword, he realized he could see through Ranxiao's field of vision.

"Are you live streaming? Turn it off."

"Ah good."

Before Ran Xiao could even process what was happening, her body moved first, and she ended the live stream without even saying goodbye to the viewers.

How did you know I was live streaming?

Ran Xiao scratched her head, looking a little lost.

Like a child caught doing something wrong, seeing Shi Qian's expression, he wondered if he would be expelled from the team.

Shi Qian didn't know why he could suddenly see Ran Xiao's vision and know that he was live streaming.

Looking at the panel, I realized that Ranxiao's contract compatibility was already over 90%.

The "Respect Value" column is no longer empty with a value of 0.

"So that's it..."

Shi Qian didn't think much of it and gave the iron sword to Ran Xiao.

I then asked him what he thought of the skills.

"Speaking of this makes me wide awake!"

"This thing is so useful! Do you know how satisfying it is to launch a sneak attack?"

"And it won't hurt when you get hit."

"You have no idea how satisfying it was for me to take on multiple opponents and suppress them... No, you killed more than me."

"Can you tell me if you felt good when you killed them?"

"To be honest, I'm starting to regret not choosing the explosion option, even though it would have been really satisfying to launch a sneak attack."

"But I want to just explode at them!"

Hearing the rapid-fire sounds, Shi Qian couldn't help but rub his forehead.

How did you live to be so old?

"what?"

"...It's alright, tell me about the current situation in that settlement."

Shi Qian's current target is the player community he nerfed.

Although we're not going to fight right now, it's still very important to understand the enemy.

"Oh, you mean that valley side?"

"They posted the coordinates on the forum many times, and the current number of people..."

"There should be several hundred people."

"The one leading them seems to be called Ling Mo. He's pretty good; it seems he defeated the first two small groups."

"Then he became the leader, and it's said he even founded a guild."

"I wonder if Ling Mo is as strong as he's said to be. I really want to fight him."

"Are you asking this because you're going to fight them? When? Can I come along too?"

"I want to fight that leader!"

"But isn't it a bit too few for just the two of us?"

"Many people on the forum have asked me if I still need people."

"How about we organize a competition? I'll call all those players over and have them fight me. Those who are about my skill level can stay."

"I don't care about people who can't beat me."

...

"stop!"

Shi Qian was really annoyed by the noise.

Aside from the number of players and the leader, there's nothing else of note.

"Here's a task for you: find out what stage they've reached in their development."

"Yes, sir! I guarantee it will be done!"

Then Ranxiao logged off at lightning speed.

"I always felt this kid's work ethic was no less than that of that yellow sponge..."

However, the number of people is indeed a problem.

Even if he can control the monsters now, their numbers are still too few.

"How can I increase the range..."

Shi Qian flipped through the system panel, and for a moment he was also a little troubled.

Although the three starter Pokémon make up a large proportion of the total, their attack power is still somewhat lacking.

Facing hundreds of players, even if each player fires an arrow, he'd be helpless.

Having no evasion skills is really a problem.

"However... it seems there is a way."

After reviewing the interface, Shi Qian decided to go and grind monsters.

However, do not farm with the clone.

I went to the abandoned mine shafts to find other mob spawners.

After Ranxiao logged off, she went straight to the player forum.

They completely ignored the screams and cries of "Why won't you let me watch!" from the live stream's backend.

The guild established in that player gathering area is called [Moon Half Guild].

The information Ranxiao had before wasn't actually obtained through a search.

It was recommended on the homepage.

Aside from killing players, he doesn't really care about anything else.

I learned about Ling Mo because someone left a comment in his live stream asking who was better, him or Ling Mo.

He didn't know who this person was before that.

I only found out after asking the comments.

This time, being assigned a task meant that it was the first time I had taken the initiative to get to know other players.

Searching for "Moon Half Guild" yields posts that are half related to Shi Qian.

The other half is related to Ling Mo.

There are even some videos of Ling Mo and Feng Ning's matches.

Ran Xiao was the first to click on it.

I did some research on these players' fighting styles.

They euphemistically call it "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

It wasn't that he didn't want to see the composition of the Moon Half Guild.

It's not so much the player-versus-player combat that's so appealing.

Ran Xiao watched the video twice.

I've discovered that Ling Mo is actually quite something.

And I bet he's watched a lot of his fight clips.

The move was very unexpected.

They would also smash doors.

Ran Xiao was startled when she saw it.

I'm reminded of the fear of being dominated by the wooden door again.

However, after watching the battle video, Ranxiao got down to business.
