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

Just as Ran Xiao was searching for information, in the game...

"Boss!"

This time it's not the leader who got killed in Mission 1.

Instead, he was calling for Ling Mo.

"What's going on?"

Ling Mo sat on the chair made of steps and asked the player who had barged in.

"Boss, you know Ran Xiao, right? She's the one next to Shi Qian, the one who's not human."

"I know, what's wrong with him? Is he coming to hit us?"

"No! He liked our video!"

"..."

An eerie silence fell over the room.

"That's it?"

Ling Mo was somewhat confused.

He thought Shi Qian and Ran Xiao had attacked directly, and this person had come to him to take command of the battle.

I didn't expect that Ran Xiao would make such a fuss just because she liked his video.

"Boss, isn't this serious enough?"

"Then tell me where it's serious!"

Ling Mo was so angry that she leaned back and slumped into the chair.

“He’s getting to know us. Someone asked you about it during Ranxiao’s live stream before, and he said he didn’t know.”

“He doesn’t know you’re so famous, so he’s obviously not interested. But now that he’s liked my video, it means he’s searching for us and learning about you.”

The player finished speaking in one breath and waited nervously for Ling Mo's reaction.

Ling Mo burst out laughing after hearing that.

He stood up, one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead.

"Isn't this normal? I'm so handsome, isn't it normal for him to search for me?"

"Besides, it's just research, it's not like we're going to attack directly."

"Even if he attacks, there are so many of us, we're not going to back down."

Ling Mo walked up to the player and patted him on the shoulder.

"We don't need to be so worried, relax."

"But..."

"But what but? You're not listening to the boss anymore? Haven't you gained enough experience yet? Go find some monsters and mine!"

As Ling Mo spoke, she pushed the player away.

The player opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

After leaving, I glanced back at the closed room, my mind racing with thoughts.

Then I went to find the two groups of people who spoke out for the first time because of Shi Qian.

But we have no way of knowing what they talked about...

Shi Qian's side.

After saying goodbye to Ranxiao, he went straight down into the mine tunnel.

This time we took a different direction.

After going deeper down, monsters started to spawn.

Shi Qian immediately gathered all the newly spawned monsters and led a large force forward.

He planned to hoard these monsters in one place for later use in sieges.

Abandoned mine tunnels usually have a spacious area filled with mud, and Shi Qian planned to put the monsters behind him there.

After circling around in the mine tunnels, Shi Qian finally found this place, and there was a mine cart box not far away.

Shi Qian first stored the monster there, and then used blocks to block the exit.

"Let's open the box!"

Although I know the contents are useless to me, if they are good, I can give them to Ranxiao next time.

After all, he's the only one around right now.

Has any player been here...?

The contents of the box were all piled up in the upper left corner; they were all useless junk.

It's clearly the work of a player.

If other players have been here, it means this place is not safe.

Ranxiao had previously sent a message to Shiqian about that post on the forum.

Shi Qian guessed that the player had walked near his monster spawner.

Unexpectedly, some people are now defying the superstition and coming in to explore.

They probably came in a group.

I've been playing the game for a few days now, and quite a few players have already acquired ironware.

There are always people willing to explore the unknown.

"Let's move on to another location after we finish this big one..."

After thinking it over, Shi Qian decided to move.

After this battle, he won't lack energy anymore, and he can build his own monster-spawning tower.

It's a bit of a shame that the mob spawner had to be dismantled before we left.

Shi Qian didn't touch the box again, and planned to check if there were any other monster spawners in this mine tunnel.

Ahead lay a downward road, and Shi Qianzhi walked down it.

But they found themselves in front of a rather large lava pool.

"This magma pool was actually formed together with the abandoned mine tunnel."

Shi Qian was wondering whether he should also go to hell.

Let's see if we can get some skills from hell monsters.

The monsters in Hell are mostly capable of using fire, which is currently a very good way for players to attack.

And if all goes well, we might even be able to unlock a Withering event.

Although Shi Qian's shop has Netherworld Stars, it doesn't seem to have any heads.

Based on previous experience, it might drop from Wither Skeletons.

The Withered should have the ability to fly.

If you can fly, why would you walk?

With that in mind, Shi Qian no longer hesitated.

I simply built a few blocks, took out a bucket, and used a pouring method to build it.

LOL, obsidian is so expensive, who would just spend energy points to build it?

The bucket cannot be placed on the ground; it must be held in one's hand at all times.

So it can also be put back into the backpack.

Shi Qian's previous door-smashing incident was the same.

As long as he doesn't place the blocks he buys from the store on the ground, he can still put them back into his backpack.

After pouring out a 2x3 door, Shi Qian took out a lighter.

The obsidian was ignited.

However, the purple, distorted portal failed to appear in the frame.

"Strange... I didn't get the wrong number."

Shi Qian checked it over and over again, extinguishing the flame and relighting it, but the result was still the same.

Undeterred, he poured the concrete twice more in several other directions.

Still no use.

"call..."

"Could it be that something's wrong with Hell too?"

Shi Qian sat on the ground, looking at the lava pool in front of him, lost in thought.

"If this world doesn't have any generative structures... then what exactly is this abandoned mine shaft I'm in?"

For the first time, Shi Qian was lost and confused.

He genuinely didn't know this time.

The sealed-off Illager villagers, the lost giant pit of the desert temple, the unlit Nether portal, the never-before-seen Endermen, the monsters of the future spawning at the start of the game, and the witch without a house.

What's wrong with this world?!

Shi Qian slowly recalled everything that had happened since he came to this world, trying to understand it using the Minecraft experience from his original world.

But it doesn't make any sense at all.

Shi Qian felt like his head was about to explode.

He felt trapped in a mystery he couldn't unravel.

Surrounded by one problem after another, yet utterly helpless.

"If Hell is like this... then what about the End?"

"If we can't even go to the End... then what is our ultimate goal?"

Shi Qian was deep in thought.

"Wait, the End, the Ender Dragon!"

This world has players, and a game is designed to serve players.

If even the final boss like the Ender Dragon is gone, why would players still want to play this game?

Even without the Ender Dragon, this world, as a game, still needs to have certain bosses.

Perhaps I just used the wrong method.

This world is different from the Minecraft I've played before.

"This is a new world..."
