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

However, what if Furong left immediately after seeing him enter...

Shi Qian would panic and run away immediately.

In that situation, I'm not entirely at ease; it's like they're about to send troops out.

He wouldn't believe anyone would trust outsiders who weren't of his race.

This kind of defensiveness is normal.

Moreover, when Shi Qian returned after taking a short stroll after leaving, he found that there were troops stationed at the portal entrance. Although there weren't many, it truly put Shi Qian at ease.

Because if a strange stranger appears in my house, I will be on guard against them. And if the stranger inquires about my behavior, I will definitely have someone watch the door after the stranger leaves to prevent them from coming back.

Since Shi Qian left this dimension, he has never revealed his true form and has been staying inside the cube.

Although it cannot be sensed by individual abilities, Zero Nine Order should have an energy core in his possession.

Although it is unclear why the other party is able to use the core, it is known that the energy core can observe the situation within a dimension.

In other words, if he has an energy core, then once Shi Qian appears, the other party can "see" him directly.

If you manage to control yourself, it won't be fun...

This is the real body; I absolutely dare not take any risks.

In the past few days, Shi Qian has not been able to figure out why the lighting has a strange atmosphere.

He's definitely not a professional in this area.

However, due to his sensitivity to psychology and emotions, Shi Qian still noticed something amiss in this dimension.

This dimension is perfectly normal, no matter how you look at it.

But this is from an outsider's perspective.

If we consider ourselves as a crystal being within a dimension...

Things will start to get strange.

After looking through the entire dimension, Shi Qian decided to spend a day with the Crystal Man.

I chose the Starlight Crystal area, which is more eye-catching, since the crystal figures are all sparkly.

Following along is a great way to both observe the situation and enjoy the view.

Moreover, the Star Crystal area is located to the left of the portal leading into the palace, making it very close to the outside world.

If you're lucky, you might even hear some historical details.

At midday in the dimension, the light source in the center of the Crystal Empire began to slowly become brighter.

For Crystal people, it's time for morning.

From the moment it started to light up, the entire dimension seemed to come alive.

Since the transparent blocks reflect light, when the center lights up, the entire dimension lights up as well.

Not long after, someone slowly opened the door and came out.

The crystal figure itself is relatively clear and transparent, making it even more dazzling in bright light.

After they went out, they greeted each other warmly, their faces filled with anticipation for the new day.

Looks very energetic...

At a certain point in time, the light source in the central area will flash briefly.

At this point, most of the people came out and gathered on Zhongjie Street.

Each of the eight districts has a main road running through its center, leading to the central area.

There are also very straight roads between the areas, but they are far smaller than those in Zhongjie.

It seems that those roads are only used to divide areas; I don't usually see anyone walking through them.

Each area has a passage leading to the next area. Shi Qian waited underground for a while and then saw the crystal-wielding people from the next area pass by.

Further on, Huang Jingren stopped on the main street of Xingguang District and then walked towards the edge of the city. They were going to work in the mine.

Shi Qian soon arrived at the destination of the Starlight Crystal People: the mine in the Amethyst region.

Comparatively speaking, the mining sites here are clearly more realistic in style.

It's not the kind of thing where you dig with a pickaxe a couple of times and it immediately turns into a block that drops. Instead, you have to clear the stone and peel out the crystals little by little and put them into the minecart chest.

The box has a realistic feel; it's not in the form of an inventory, but rather a physical container for storing items.

Although the Crystal Empire doesn't seem very large, in reality, the entire empire is enormous.

If those miners get up in the morning to work, clock out at the mine, and then go straight home, they probably won't get home until the next day.

Moreover, this should still be in a neighborhood relatively close to the mine.

The closer they get to the main urban area, the more time they need to spend on the road.

So it seems that the miners here work shifts every few days, but there are always people on duty every day.

Shi Qian noticed something new but familiar on those miners: storage bags.

Logically speaking, this thing shouldn't exist in this dimension.

Since this content was recently updated by the game's official team, and the game has only just opened, it's clear that it wasn't imported from outside.

That means this dimension must have always existed, and it seems the storage bag has been in this dimension for a long time.

I'm just not sure if the functionality is the same as the storage bag officially released...

These miners only use them to store food and tools; they don't seem to have an inventory like players do.

Mining doesn't just require a pickaxe. Even though this is Minecraft, the tools used by those crystal people still look professional.

The small hammer, the small chisel, and the tools specifically used to pry open crystals (but whose names Shi Qian couldn't recall) are all adorable pixel-style items.

Although the crystal mines in this dimension are very similar to those in the main world, upon closer inspection, they exhibit characteristics similar to bone fragments in the Frozen Dimension.

It has become more detailed.

It's like it suddenly evolved from 64 pixels to 256 pixels.

Despite its pixelated style, it looks like it didn't come from Minecraft.

Shi Qian specifically chose the Starlight Crystal People because their destination was the Amethyst Zone.

The mine is similar to the Amethyst Cave in the Overworld, but the Crystal People only mine the crystal clusters and the crystals buried by rocks and sand.

What Shi Qian found strange was not their work or the ore.

Rather, it's these crystal people themselves...

How to describe it?

Too optimistic?

Whether it's walking for long periods with almost no rest, starting work immediately upon arriving at the mine, or the crystal breaking while prying it out of the cracks in the rocks, etc.

Things that easily evoke emotions in people don't seem to be a big deal to them.

They are all unrelated.

If it were just one or two people, that would be fine, but...

What Shi Qian sees now is everyone, everyone who is in front of him.

That's how it is...

They almost always have a smile on their faces, constantly radiating good emotions and moods.

In Shi Qian's own perception...

These emotions are all real, all stemming from the heart...
