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

The current situation is visibly tense.

Players from the Moon Half Guild have been very cautious when going out to hunt animals lately.

They were terrified of encountering Shi Qian seeking revenge.

Everyone is frantically hoarding supplies and upgrading their equipment.

They've almost hollowed out the area beneath the guild base.

Most people now have iron pickaxes and iron swords.

Some players were lucky enough to find a lot of minerals and already had some iron armor.

Many players unlock the shield recipe as soon as they get iron.

Because it's really practical.

It can block the arrows from the little white bird and also block some of the explosion damage from the creeper.

Everyone likes this thing.

Both sides are preparing for battle.

The atmosphere on the forum grew more and more oppressive each day, with everyone waiting for the battle cry to sound.

Some people even started a thread on the forum specifically to bet on the time limit.

“I’m pressing down an iron ingot, tonight. He must have come out yesterday to give us a warning.”

"That's not necessarily true. I feel it will take at least two more days. It seems he wants to give his monsters practice, so it can't be that quick."

Immediately, someone objected, feeling it was too fast.

"Two days is a bit late, isn't it? I'll bet an iron sword on you. If I lose the bet the night after tomorrow, come find me here."

They were naturally talking about a day in the game.

"The people upstairs seem very confident, like they're determined to win."

"Hehe, just a rumor. The Great Demon King is making preparations inside. Anyway, it'll only be a few days. Just guessing."

"Stop guessing, Yueban said he would strike first, and they've all split into teams to look for Shi Qian's whereabouts."

"Wow? Is it that exciting?"

Some people clicked on the link and found that it was a group of players with pretty good equipment.

From the main perspective, they are all talking about Shi Qian, and they look like they are looking for something.

Even the live stream title was "Searching for the Great Demon King".

This is a live stream hosted by a player named Mo Niao from the South team.

He stood at the back of the line, explaining the current situation to the people in the live stream.

“We are all people who know Shi Qian very well. Look, the one at the front of the line is a well-known person on the forum. Like me, he studies Shi Qian.”

"You should all recognize the rest of the team; they're very active on the forums."

Mo Niao pointed and spoke.

They also mentioned the plans of the Moon Half Guild.

Let them spread out and search for Shi Qian; aren't they afraid of sending themselves to their deaths?

He shook his head as he said this.

"I feel like our team is unlikely to find any. Few people migrate from the south; most are in the north and the plains."

"He only showed up here twice last night."

"It's unlikely we'll ever meet again..."

Mo Niao looked at the sky, which was beginning to turn red, and then at the group of people who were still searching for clues. He suggested that they take a break.

Let's put the matchboxes together, since it's getting dark.

It's still a bit unsafe to farm zombies at night.

Seeing that it was almost time, Shi Qian led the elite monsters, who were already wearing hats, and set off.

Ran Xiao has completely turned into a miner, and he has almost hollowed out the area around the abandoned mine tunnels.

They didn't collect enough minerals, just enough for a full set of iron armor for elite zombies and a diamond sword for elites. The rest were made into iron swords and helmets for other monsters.

The probability of mineral formation in this world is ridiculously high.

If you're just digging, you might not find a single iron ore even after digging hundreds of blocks.

The mine shafts and tunnels are somewhat better, since there are exposed ore deposits.

But it's also very rare.

Shi Qian himself has no inventory and cannot synthesize or fire items.

Moreover, the prices of manuscripts in the system's store are extremely high.

He had always been intimidated by it.

Never bought it.

They were afraid of spending energy points to buy a manuscript with a durability of 5.

It exploded after digging twice.

That's such a bad deal.

When Shi Qian was hoarding monsters, he tried to find those that came with their own equipment.

The elites are all equipped.

But we simply couldn't raise any more.

Shi Qian himself is helpless; he doesn't dare to buy anything now.

If you want to fight in close combat, take out your trident.

Anyway, the damage is high and there's no durability limit, it's just time-limited.

...

Having quickly completed another mission objective, Shi Qian looked at the clean-skinned Jiang Dayi and nodded in satisfaction.

"I have to say, he's really handsome."

Shi Qian learned from Ran Xiao that his zombie had been praised for being handsome, and he made a special observation about it afterward.

It turns out that this is indeed the case.

It made him feel quite proud.

Moreover, the more players the monsters kill these days, the fewer corpse spots they get.

That makes him look even more handsome.

Shi Qian felt that his eye for oddities was pretty good; none of them were ugly.

"Next target..."

Shi Qian started another mission, which, coincidentally, happened to be in the same place where Mo Niao and his group were.

As Shi Qian arrived with the monster, Mo Niao and the others repaired the matchbox.

They took out food supplies and chatted while eating.

"Speaking of which, it's nighttime now, the Great Demon King should be out looking for players at this hour."

"It should be. I'll go down and check."

The player logged off immediately after speaking, giving no one else a chance to react.

"Um, actually, since I'm streaming, I could just ask the viewers in the live stream or ask them for information on the forum..."

Mo Niao raised his hand and said weakly.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he lowered his hand shyly.

The player next to him saw him rubbing his hands together and guessed that he might be a little nervous.

He then went over and asked Mo Niao.

"Speaking of which, is it okay for you to start broadcasting like this? What if the people around you find out within half a month?"

Seeing Mo Niao's worried expression, another player couldn't help but chime in.

"They didn't say we couldn't broadcast, so we can broadcast if we want. By the way, why didn't you say you were live earlier? That person wouldn't have had to log off."

At this point, someone in the live chat revealed what they were talking about.

"Shi Qian has indeed come out; buddy, he just died."

[Coordinates Attached]

"Wow, this is breaking news! By the way, it seems the streamer is not far from this guy."

After seeing the comments, Mo Niao immediately reported the information to everyone.

After comparing the coordinates, it was found that the two places were indeed not far apart.

"Hey, we're not the first team to find the big bad guy's trail, are we?"

One player said.

He was still somewhat tempted by the promise Yueban had made.

The executive who brought them together said that whoever found any trace of Shi Qian first would get a pickaxe.

"Let's not. If we run into them, it means we're both going to get our hands on something. What about our gear?"

"good question."

Some suggested digging a few blocks down on the spot, putting all their supplies inside, and taking them away at dawn.

This method has been unanimously approved by everyone.

They made boxes and put most of their belongings inside, leaving only a few items behind.

At this moment, a clever commenter in the live chat posted:

"If the big devil comes out any second from now, and you all die and your coordinates are exposed, then your stuff will just become wild?"

"Holy crap, how come I didn't think of that! Anyone remember the coordinates? Share them, let's loot the corpse together!"

"What a talented person! I've noted down the coordinates. Check your private messages."

Mo Niao turned off the live stream immediately after seeing the chaos in the comments.

Out of sight is pure.
