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

However... we should still prioritize the mission.

As for Ran Xiao, he didn't plan to take her directly to that new dimension.

As for the main world, he can leave his clone here.

Those monsters...

For cannon fodder monsters that haven't killed players, just recycle them to increase their energy value.

His elite monsters all had notifications indicating that they had reached intermediate-level thinking.

Perhaps we could let him go out and explore?

Just like other leaders, give your subordinates some opportunities.

Then pair them up in pairs, and then assign them a few who have killed other players.

It's a good opportunity to train my subordinates and build up my own troops.

Since it gained sentience because of me, and cannot betray its master, let it go.

As for Ran Xiao, his current equipment is top-tier, so he can probably upgrade it himself.

Anyway, there's a control panel, and there's also a clone in the main world.

Nothing bad will happen.

After that, I'll go find the remaining monsters.

After finishing his thoughts, Shi Qian let out a breath.

Tell Ranxiao to go to the player forum to find the coordinates of the nearest mountain and snowfield.

If possible, the best place would be a snow-covered mountain.

Ran Xiao thought that Shi Qian had been holding back for so long, so he would explain to her what he was supposed to do.

I never expected it would just be checking coordinates.

It seems he's not planning to go underwater for the time being.

Then he had nothing to worry about, so he pursed his lips and logged off.

The vast space was now empty except for Shi Qian and the bunch of monsters below.

Shi Qian jumped into the water and led the monster to a relatively flat area.

After landing, Shi Qian realized that he hadn't unlocked his slow descent ability, so he used energy points to unlock it.

Before him stood the dozen or so monsters he favored most.

Because of the armor issue, Shi Qian brought a few more zombies with him to kill the players.

He raised all these monsters himself.

"You guys pick your own teammates."

"Roar--"

"His-"

"Hmm—"

These monsters have all awakened intermediate-level thinking; they were with Shi Qian when they had lower-level thinking.

They were all familiar with each other and quickly chose their partners.

Seeing everyone standing in twos and threes, Shi Qian nodded slightly.

"You can each choose the monsters that follow, but bring them back exactly as you took them there. Don't leave anyone out."

"I won't say anything polite. You all have your own thoughts, so you should be able to understand what I mean."

"Roar--"

Jiang Dayi stepped forward first, seemingly to accept an order or to persuade him to stay.

Other monsters followed suit.

Speak in your own language.

At this moment, the sky began to lighten with the first light of dawn. Shi Qian turned his back and waved to the monsters.

"If you don't go now, it will be too late. Remember to bring yourselves back safely."

After speaking, Shi Qian released his clone to control the area.

Then left.

All the monsters present watched Shi Qian leave.

Only after his figure disappeared into the forest did they gradually withdraw their gaze.

Shi Qian's clone watched as Jiang Dayi and the others selected some monsters from those that had awakened low-level thinking or had successfully killed players, and took them with them.

Then he ran back, bowed to his clone, and left with his soldiers.

The remaining cannon fodder monsters were all gathered together by the clones and taken to the shadows beneath the throne.

Kill them one by one to recover energy.

After Ranxiao came online, all she could see was Shi Qian's clone.

"Boss, you have so many weirdos! You can't all die from the sun, can you...?"

Ran Xiao circled around but didn't find any other monsters, which was a bit strange.

"They've all been sent out on missions, just like you."

Shi Qian left quite a bit of consciousness for his clone this time, enough to answer questions normally.

"Oh oh oh."

After receiving the answer, Ran Xiao stopped worrying and shared the coordinates she had found on the forum.

There are three areas in total: two relatively far snowfields and one high mountain terrain, and the last one is the area between the two, a relatively close high mountain snow-covered terrain.

He specifically chose a place opposite to the seabed.

And none of them are close.

This was so that Shi Qian could stay here a little longer.

No one has ever seen that underwater object, and the authorities have not released any information about it.

However, he could sense that Shi Qian must know what it was for.

He's definitely going to that place.

And it's highly unlikely they'll take me along; I'm still too weak. I wish I were stronger.

Then I can truly stay by Shi Qian's side and go to unknown territories with him.

Shi Qian naturally understood his meaning, but he didn't expose it.

The clone headed directly towards the coordinates given by Ranxiao.

Seeing this, Ran Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started a new task.

If Shi Qian hadn't said anything, who would have thought he could split himself into two?

By using his clone, he avoided Ran Xiao's suspicions.

Shi Qian's true form headed in the direction of the suspicious person he had seen at night.

The reason for not killing him outright was naturally to see what he was planning to do.

Humans always leave traces, and Shi Qian wanted to see if he could find this person.

However, Shi Qian didn't hold out much hope of finding it.

If you find it, interrogate it thoroughly; if you don't find it, go directly to the seabed.

Shi Qian arrived at the place where the player was at night.

There are ladders on the tree trunks that lead directly to the top of the tree.

The leaves in the middle have been hollowed out.

After climbing up, Shi Qian looked around.

He discovered that the throne he had chosen was still quite conspicuous in this position.

Especially the light-emitting organism he showed when he watched Ran Xiao's game at night.

It's morning now, and that thing looks very bright. I can't imagine what it would be like at night; it would be absolutely visible at a glance.

Perhaps that player didn't come because of him, but was just curious about why there was a glowing block there that they had never seen before?

but...

Is it a bit ostentatious to place one's throne on this?

And it seems he forgot to destroy the bombing equipment inside when he left.

It's fine if no one comes, but it's not fun if someone gets curious, climbs up, and studies the structure inside.

Shi Qian narrowed his eyes, not intending to do it himself.

After all, theoretically speaking, he had already headed towards the snowfield.

If I go up there myself, and Ran Xiao remembers to come back and look, she'll find the internal structure is empty.

They might just start making a scene.

After thinking about it, Shi Qian still sent a message to Ran Xiao about it.

He explained that he had forgotten to dismantle the structure and asked the other party to clean it up when they had time.

I immediately received Ranxiao's wonderful calligraphy.

Shi Qian looked around again and found that he couldn't find any clues about that player on it.

They climbed down from the tree and explored the surrounding area.

There were no signs of damage to the surrounding ground...

Did that player come from somewhere else?

Shi Qian explored deeper into the forest but found no relevant clues.

"If only we could switch to spectator mode..."

Shi Qian now desperately wants to uncover everything and find the source of the problem; he should have just killed that player...

Just then, the sound of a door opening and closing suddenly came from the pool on the right.
