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

Shi Qian farmed enough energy at the spider spawner to unlock his last remaining skill.

That means Xiaobai's 100% accuracy has been unlocked.

Then I bought a bunch of commonly used items and put them in the system inventory.

As long as he doesn't upgrade his skills, he can be considered quite wealthy now.

When Shi Qian came out of the mine, the sun had already risen.

But this time he didn't rush to start the mission.

After all, we have enough energy now, and we start missions for the sake of energy and mission objectives.

He felt that his current skill set was too narrow, limiting him to close-range attacks.

Moreover, traveling is very troublesome, as you have to walk the whole way.

I've already collected all the common monsters in the plains, but I haven't seen an Enderman yet.

Shi Qian plans to explore other biomes to see if he can encounter Blackie and other monsters, preferably those with ranged attacks.

He now has some understanding of this world and the players.

This world is quite different from the PC version of Minecraft that I'm familiar with.

The players seem to feel pain, and their movements are not rigid.

I imagine that in their real world, this game is similar to VR.

It should be a gaming headset or gaming pod that's linked to.

Moreover, the overall difficulty of this world seems to have been increased significantly. To craft items, you must first spend experience to exchange for recipes before you can craft them at the workbench.

The probability of minerals being generated and food dropping is lower.

Shi Qian now regrets it a bit; the diamonds and golden apples in that box in the abandoned mine tunnel were extremely precious.

Even if you can't take them, you shouldn't just let them disappear.

Using these two items to bribe players, gathering more people to let him kill a round before taking them, is definitely a good idea.

Unfortunately, when he came out this time, he dug up the place and found it was already empty.

It was a waste of his stone.

Shi Qian said no, hehe.

Thinking and walking along, casually killing the animals nearby, they finally arrived at a new biome.

He also encountered two unlucky players along the way, who passed away peacefully without suffering.

Shi Qian saw that patch of green even before he got close.

"Was the first thing we encountered a swamp?"

Shi Qian was pleasantly surprised. He had originally thought it would be a snowy desert or other terrain with few new monsters, but it turned out to be a swamp.

Swamps are guaranteed to spawn slimes and witches, which means you can gain two new abilities at once.

Moreover, if one of them doesn't require an absurd number of points to unlock, Shi Qian has more than enough to exchange for it now.

Excited, Shi Qian immediately rushed over.

"New skill! Here I come!"

After searching and fighting, Shi Qian successfully defeated both monsters.

Just as Dang Qian was about to go and see what was going on, a monster he had never seen before appeared under a tree not far away.

The monster looked a lot like Xiaobai, wearing tattered clothes similar to those of a dwarf, and carrying a bow and arrow.

"Aren't stray skeletons supposed to spawn in snowy areas? How come there are some in the swamp too? Wait, they're not stray skeletons..."

Shi Qian slowly crept over, wanting to see what kind of monster it was.

Upon closer inspection, this "fake little white" was covered in green moss-like algae, and even had mushrooms growing on its head.

"It's a small, unique, and quite interesting thing."

As expected, Shi Qian was discovered by the "fake Xiaobai" as he got closer, but he didn't rush to kill the monster.

I want to see what abilities this unfamiliar thing has.

Then he was shot with an arrow, and a poison effect mark appeared in the upper right corner of Shi Qian's field of vision.

However, Shi Qian did not lose any health except for the basic arrow attacks. After observing this "fake newbie" for a while and finding no other means of attack, he killed him.

Monster defeated: Swamp Skeleton

[Gained Ability: Poison Arrow]

"So it's called Numako. It looks like it's a variant of Shiro, just like Ryudo."

Before his transmigration, Shi Qian hadn't touched Minecraft for a long time, and he didn't read the official updates.

Since emerging from the underground cave, he has actually become somewhat indifferent to life.

By the time the Dark Realm appeared, Shi Qian hadn't opened Minecraft again.

Although I still occasionally watch those familiar streamers play, I don't know anything about the content they update later.

I guess this swamp skeleton is a later update, but why was it released in this world so early?

After reading the details of the three skills, Shi Qian was in a dilemma because he only had enough energy to exchange for two of them.

[Level 1 Clone: ​​Consumes 99% of the user's maximum health to summon a clone. The clone inherits 30% of the user's abilities.]

[Note: Only one clone can be summoned. After the clone dies, the main body's maximum health will be reduced by half for a certain period of time.]

[Can consume 4000 energy points to upgrade to level 2]

【使用药水1级：消耗3点生命值或30能量值自身饮用水肺药水、抗火药水、治疗药水、迅捷药水其中之一，冷却时间180秒；消耗4点生命值或40能量值投掷喷溅型治疗药水、喷溅型再生药水、喷溅型迟缓药水、喷溅型剧毒药水、喷溅型虚弱药水、喷溅型伤害药水其中之一，冷却时间240秒】

[Can consume 4000 energy points to upgrade to level 2]

[Poison Arrow Level 1: Fires an arrow without a bow, inflicting a 4-second poison effect. 10-second cooldown (the poison effect is not fatal)]

[Can consume 1500 energy points to upgrade to level 2]

Both the witch's and slime's skills require 800 points to unlock, and Shi Qian's current energy level isn't even enough to exchange for both of them together.

Swamp Skeleton's ability is ranged attack.

In other words, Shi Qian now needs to unlock either the witch's or the slime's skills, plus the swamp skeleton's skills.

After much deliberation, I finally chose the witch.

He doesn't actually need the ability to create clones right now; one body is enough, and he doesn't have the energy to control a second one.

In addition, the death penalty for creating a clone is quite severe, so Shi Qian gave up on unlocking clones now.

Let's talk about it when we need it later.

Then there's why Shi Qian didn't lose any extra health after being attacked by the Swamp Skeleton; it was all thanks to the Cave Spider.

After he unlocked the poison skill, he actually tried letting cave spiders attack him.

However, it seems that because he can release poison, he has become immune to poison of the same level.

The poisoning effect of the swamp skeleton is the same as that of the cave spider.

It's just that one is melee and the other is ranged.

He can now poison two people at the same time, and the cooldown of Poison Arrow is faster than manual poisoning.

The attack frequency has increased.

After testing the power of the poisoned arrow on an innocent frog, Shi Qian then wandered around the swamp.

They were trying to find Xiao Hei.

"That's really strange. Why isn't Little Black anywhere? It can't be hiding underwater too..."

Throughout his journey, whether in plains, forests, or now swamps, Shi Qian has not seen a single Enderman.

Furthermore, I have not seen any structures such as abandoned portals.

Even on such a vast plain, there wasn't a single village. He didn't even find his witch at the witch's hut; he didn't see the witch's hut at all.

"This is so strange..."

It seems like this world now only consists of him, the players, animals, and monsters.

The monsters are not all there yet.

Are the update progresses different?

But he also has things from a very late stage of the original world...

"If only Little Killer were here—"

...
