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

Ran Xiao stood beside Shi Qian, looking at the chaotic scene on the ground.

It felt like I was in heaven.

"Boss, you didn't say coming to war would be this fun—"

Before Shi Qian came, he only told him that he could fight whomever he wanted.

Come back when you're done playing, and he'll take care of the rest.

All he had to do was place and remove a few slime blocks from the interlayer, and incidentally, place two TNT blocks after he gave the signal.

Ran Xiao originally thought that he wouldn't have to lift a finger, and that Shi Qian would take the lead in fighting the monsters.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were content just enjoying watching the live performance up there.

Ranxiao's live stream saw an unprecedented number of viewers.

Many viewers were originally in the live streams of casual gamers.

After their deaths, there were virtually no more live broadcasts of them while they were still alive.

So everyone gathered at Ranxiao's place.

"Boss! I really don't know what to say. Do you know how many people I've recruited!"

"Five hundred thousand—do you understand? That's equivalent to almost half the game's players watching my live stream."

"Boss, I'm going to cry..."

Shi Qian thought he was going to say something, but he just kept talking nonsense.

She turned around and walked to the other side, ignoring him completely.

Because the live stream's perspective is always facing the ground.

So nobody knows what Ranxiao is howling about.

Only a faint sound could be heard.

"Someone translate what the little devil is saying. This wailing and howling... could he have been beaten up by the big devil?"

"It shouldn't be that bad, isn't his pain tolerance very low?"

"Who cares? I just think his statement that art is an explosion is absolutely right."

The first battle in the history of Minecraft was something no one expected would end this way.

They had all been guessing that Shi Qian might bring out hundreds of monsters to fight.

But I never expected there to be so many.

Someone with nothing better to do did a rough estimate and came up with an astonishing number.

There are tens of thousands of monsters here.

Moreover, many of the monsters are well-equipped.

Especially those ten elite monsters.

It's all diamond-encrusted.

You should know that they've only seen diamonds a handful of times.

I've only ever seen it made into equipment in strategy guides.

And in front of them, not to mention Ran Xiao, who was a follower, even these monsters were all wearing complete sets of diamond equipment.

This must have an incredibly strong backup energy source to dare to use it like this.

Some players even believe that Ranxiao disappeared for a few days because Shiqian called her to go mining.

Many players remain skeptical, but the facts are undeniable.

This player has hit the nail on the head.

Players who failed to kill elite monsters posted their death screens on the player forum.

He truly is in control of everything.

The post details how they went from fear, courage, and hope to utter despair.

After reading their posts.

The comments were overwhelmingly filled with expressions of condolence.

However, Shi Qian's smiling and waving picture also circulated.

Some people even took a screenshot of the area where Shi Qian was located, restored it in high definition, and used it as a screensaver.

After that, I became a die-hard fan of Shi Qian.

I watch Ranxiao's live stream every day.

Just to catch a glimpse of Shi Qian.

Of course, Shi Qian was unaware of these things.

What he's concerned about now is...

Deep in the forest, who exactly is that player hiding in the tree?

Because they were too far apart, and the player was behind the leaves.

Shi Qian couldn't see his face clearly.

As for the players on the ground, none of them have broken through the encirclement yet.

Those who escaped by digging underground tunnels all ran in other directions.

Shi Qian asked Ran Xiao to go to the live stream room and ask if anyone was still broadcasting the situation there.

The answer was that, apart from Ranxiao herself, all the other players who were originally streaming here were there.

They were all annihilated by his monster army.

After listening, Shi Qian narrowed his eyes.

If that player wasn't there for the live stream view, then what was he doing there?

Even if you record the screen, without night vision, everything here will appear completely black to the player.

They weren't players who escaped from inside the base, nor were they doing this for a live stream.

So was he observing?

What to observe...

Shi Qian threw a highly poisoned arrow as a warning.

Whatever he's doing, he should leave.

With a 100% hit rate, this arrow naturally did not miss its target.

The player seemed to realize that he had been discovered.

He stood up and waved to Shi Qian.

It climbed down from the tree and ran away.

"What the hell..."

Because the trees in the forest were quite dense, the player was completely hidden from view after climbing down from the tree.

He shook his head and ignored it.

Players are players after all; it's normal for them to have some curiosity.

Bar...

By this time, the players on the perimeter had been cleared out.

Only a portion remained inside the base, too afraid to leave.

However, these players don't dig tunnels to escape.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Shi Qian has now destroyed one-third of their entire base.

He specifically targeted the reserve areas and areas with many player houses to bomb.

Try not to leave them anything.

This place will probably just end up as a huge crater.

It will become the site of the first battle.

This plain will probably be rarely visited in the future.

After the battle, all the players here will definitely run away and find a new place to develop.

Because there are no longer any resources left underground in this area.

The players have already dug it all out.

After Shi Qian's bombing, all their belongings will disappear.

There's no room for development here, so naturally no one will come back.

Unless they're idiots.

The players on the ground were as insignificant as ants in front of Shi Qian, and were completely unable to withstand his offensive.

The monsters outside had all gathered at the edge of the wall.

Shi Qian and the elite monsters controlled the Creepers to blast open gaps in the wall.

Because Shi Qian is bombing this area.

The remaining players in the base all ran to the other side, only to be met with the arrival of the monsters.

They resisted to no avail and then died by their swords.

Finally, things turned out exactly as Shi Qian had imagined.

It was completely razed to the ground.

Apart from a few lucky and clever individuals like Feng Ning, all the remaining players became loot.

Then these dropped items were also reduced to ashes in the TNT explosion.

Until the last section of the wall was blown to pieces.

After the stones buried deep in the soil were exposed.

Shi Qian stopped the bombing.

The throne was positioned directly above the entire base.

Seeing the devastation all around, Shi Qian returned to his seat.

Ran Xiao also sat down next to her.

Adjust the live stream camera to point at them.

The entire throne and the ruins beneath it were captured in the photos.

At that moment, no one spoke.

Even the live stream chat has become less frequent.

Ran Xiao took a picture in front of the live stream camera and then turned off the live stream.

Then she quietly looked at Shi Qian, waiting for him to speak.

Shi Qian seemed lost in thought.

When the entire base was halfway through the battle.

His "Did you kill him?" task panel showed him that the task one progress had been updated.

In other words, he has already killed 1000 players.

It's time to think about what will happen next.

About the remaining monster species in this world, and about the portal to that unknown dimension beneath the sea.

Ran Xiao followed by him, inquiring about the whereabouts of the monsters on the ground.

He should really think about this...
