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

"Boss, is my computer infected with a virus?"

"Wait, boss, do you even know what a virus is...? Boss, your kind of life form in a game... wouldn't you consider it a virus too...?"

"No, no, that's not the point. The real issue is why I can't find anything about swamps!"

Shi Qian's CPU burned out as early as when Ran Xiao said the first one didn't exist.

It wasn't until the computer virus came back to life that I recovered.

Even after Ran Xiao finished speaking, Shi Qian was still in shock.

He had many possibilities in his mind, but he dared not and could not ask Ran Xiao.

Is there some kind of extraordinary urban legend in this world, or is it really some kind of virus...?

Shi Qian sorted out his thoughts and said:

"I have an idea. It shouldn't be your problem. You can leave this world now and look for information about that person's name. I'll tell you the answer when you come back."

Ran Xiao didn't expect Shi Qian to come to a conclusion so quickly, even though it was just a hint.

He originally came here just to vent his emotions, but he didn't expect that the root cause of his emotions could be solved directly.

This surprised him somewhat.

As for why not talk to someone in real life...

Ran Xiao's former friends have all drifted away because he was too noisy and always put his emotions first.

After starting to play this game, he initially looked for people to team up with and play together.

But even though they had made plans online, he was immediately stood up after the game launched.

The reason the other party gave it to Ranxiao was that they had found a quiet friend to play games with.

Ran Xiao had no choice but to rely on the PVP skills she had developed in other games to go on retaliatory challenges against nearby players every day.

He killed players back then simply because he was stood up; no one could play with him in the new world.

Killing players can stimulate their thoughts and emotions, preventing them from falling into a depressed state. Moreover, no matter how you chat with players at this time, they will not leave directly because they are annoyed by your talk, since they cannot log off while in combat.

But after playing against other players and getting their equipment, a sense of emptiness gradually returned.

It wasn't until he stumbled upon a game forum and saw those posts about Shi Qian that he seemed to have a goal.

At that time, he saw people who did similar things to him.

Therefore, no one delved into what kind of creature Shi Qian was or why he killed the players.

They just wanted to find like-minded people and seek a sense of belonging because they did the same thing.

Then, without thinking twice, he went to find Shi Qian and happened to find him.

He was recruited even on his deathbed.

Furthermore, he was given skills that are currently unique among all players.

Incidentally, this move made him famous in the entire gaming community, and he became able to support himself well through live streaming, game recordings, and video editing.

To be honest, if Shi Qian had actually stabbed her with that last sword...

He Ranxiao might really be quitting the game and going to get a job.

He used to make a living by taking on online gaming boosting or game companionship jobs, and also by taking on video editing jobs.

However, due to the unstable income, even his biggest boss quit the game.

He used to take jobs intermittently, but now that his source of income has dried up, it's impossible for him not to return to reality.

But Shi Qian did give him hope indirectly, at least he could support himself.

After being recruited, I realized that I seemed to have found a boss in the game, but I didn't care too much about it.

The most important thing about games is that you can have fun playing them.

But he never expected that this would be such a statistic in the game.

He could actually understand what he was saying and listen to him, even though he was sometimes a bit perfunctory, he could tell.

However, he also knew that most of what he said was nonsense, and that he didn't need to listen to much of it.

Moreover, the game data actually provided correct feedback based on what he said.

He's a chatterbox, just with a strong desire to share; nobody used to enjoy listening to him.

This is the first time I've experienced warmth in a game...

Shi Qian looked at Ran Xiao, who was in a daze, and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Could this child have really been hacked by some kind of electronic data and is now stuck?

After regaining her senses, Ran Xiao seemed to suddenly realize something.

"Boss, are you going to go and catch those viruses?"

"I'll go down and search Feng Ning right now!"

He logged off after saying that, not giving Shi Qian a chance to explain...

Shi Qian only wanted to get Ran Xiao away so he could call Xiao Sha out to ask about this world; he never thought he could eliminate her directly.

After all, he didn't seem to have any ability to invade reality, nor could he crawl into their player forum through the game.

Shi Qian shook his head and went to Ran Xiao's basement.

No other players will come here; it's very well hidden.

There shouldn't be any chance of being discovered here as a time traveler with a system.

You have consumed 1000 energy points.

[System Killer reporting for duty, what's wrong, host?]

Shi Qian spoke the words he had prepared in his mind, still feeling somewhat nervous.

"Does this world contain creatures or related urban legends from my original world, such as 'Herobrine,' '303/entity 303,' or 'NULL'? Don't tell me you can't find this out."

[System searching for world information—]

[Reporting to the host: No related creatures or legends were found during the search.]

Hearing this, Shi Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

The system isn't entirely useless.

The fact that this world doesn't have those ridiculously powerful fan-made creatures from the original world makes things easier, but it also means that I'll be facing the original world's side.

Moreover, the enemy's information is practically completely unknown...

"Are there similar creatures in this world? I need all the information, whether it's their abilities or their location."

[System searching for world information—]

[Sorry, host, you do not have permission to know.]

Ugh, here we go again. Just how low is my access level?

Shi Qian felt that as a system host, he was probably the most pathetic one.

I can't access any information because I don't have the necessary permissions; I can't find out anything.

However, it can be confirmed that something similar to "those things" does exist, but we don't know where it is.

Shi Qian pondered for a moment, then asked:

If you were to rank the relevance of [entities], [swamps], and [monster gathering areas that attract players], how would you rank them?

[Swamp - Entity - Monster Gathering Area]

Shi Qian understood; there was something strange in the swamp.

It's probably to turn these two players into physical entities, in order to attract other players to them.

"Tell me everything I know about the swamp within my permissions, then close the small killer."

[Okay, host, we are packaging information for you.]

[Information transmission complete]
