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

Chapter 9 Player Forum

Just as Shi Qian headed to the swamp, a considerable discussion had already taken place on the Minecraft player forums because of him.

Shi Qian was completely unaware of all of this.

If he knew so many people were talking about him, he'd probably applaud.

It all started when A Yuan's video went viral and was featured.

The video of Shi Qian's actions and the items he used attracted comments from many strategy guide experts.

These expert explanations also attracted some newbies.

Keep in mind that this game has only been open for two days, yet it already has over a million players.

However, many players were discouraged because the official game didn't provide any hints and the game was too difficult.

The way Shi Qian operates in the game has made many people realize:

"So this game can be played like this!"

Some people are also curious about Shi Qian.

Based on the coordinates provided by many players in the comments section and A Yuan and others, they discovered that the nearest coniferous forest was extremely far away.

Unless Shi Qian was born on the edge of the coniferous forest and his target was absolutely certain that it was their group, there was no way he could have run there.

Moreover, the data obtained from this guess is extremely limited; practically no one would do this.

However, Feng Ning and his friends responded that they only met after the promotion of Minecraft began, and that they had not offended anyone during that time.

Moreover, the coordinates of their residence are known only to them; no one tells anyone else.

This made everyone think: if Shi Qian chose to kill them because he was so close to them, then where did he get his sweet berry bushes?

Moreover, this is not the only point of contention in the whole affair.

Why can he poison others and release things like spider webs?

One player who enjoys exploring said that he had only ever seen spider webs in what looked like dilapidated mines.

Moreover, destroying the spider web only drops the thread, and the thread cannot be reassembled into a spider web.

The poisoning effect only occurs after encountering and being attacked by a type of greenish spider.

At this point, someone commented:

"You mean, a spider demon transformed into a player in the mine, went to the taiga to collect sweet berries, then killed a wandering merchant with two powerful alpacas on the way to get the rope, and then ran to the camp of these players at the last minute, killing many animals and monsters along the way to unlock the stone sword recipe, then killing the four of them, and then waiting in ambush for the remaining two survivors in the camp?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

"The person upstairs is right, this thing is a bit outrageous. This shouldn't be something a player would put on."

"But if he's not a player, why is his model the same as ours? It can't really be an official spider demon, right? @MinecraftOfficial"

"This conclusion is so abstract, but why does it seem so reasonable to me? Is it something wrong with me...?"

Just as everyone was speculating, a new comment caught everyone's attention.

"Stop arguing! There's another victim! See here → [Why some players can play themselves like suicide bombers]"

"New fun? Here I come~"

This post includes not only a single video, but also pictures and a detailed explanation of the process, making it easier for everyone to follow the story.

The post content is roughly as follows:

They were playmates, and when they were all at home, one of them said he wanted to make a deal and needed to find their leader.

When their leader came out, the man gathered everyone together, saying he was going to show them something.

As a result, after he placed a block, it exploded like a Creeper, without even the pre-explosion time of a Creeper, and several people who were nearby died on the spot.

After the explosion, the person didn't die; instead, he ran away.

Then the block that the player placed flashed twice and exploded, and all the remaining players died.

After the explosion, the man didn't leave. After his remaining companions came out, he detonated himself again.

They even found their underwater secret chamber and went in to kill and torment their last two players.

When they checked the supplies in their camp after respawning, they found that nothing had been touched.

The last two players were not killed by an explosion; they were trapped and slowly killed.

One of the players even experienced a strange poisoning effect.

This person lured them out under the guise of a trade, but it wasn't for supplies; it seemed he was there purely to kill them.

The person who posted this message is naturally a victim of Shi Qian's second mission.

After reading the post, someone recognized the person as the same one in A Yuan's video and immediately directed the author to go and watch it.

Some people also came from A Yuan's comment section.

"Holy crap, are these two posts from the same person? The other group never used explosives, but they've upgraded it?"

"I'm curious about what that cube he placed was. It says TNT on it. Could it be the same kind of explosive as in real life?"

"I've never seen them before. I'm actually quite curious about how much difference there is between the coordinates of the two victims."

"Upstairs +1, I'm curious too. Their schedules are similar. If they live nearby, I'd like to go over and see if I can bump into them."

The comments section was also filled with laughter. These players didn't lose much, and they posted it to ask who it was and to warn others to stay away.

However, many people take it seriously.

"You mean, he's not only a spider demon, but also a creeper demon?"

"How does he always manage to pull out items we've never seen before?"

"@Minecraft Official What is this thing? Can you explain it?"

...

Shi Qian, who was at the center of the discussion, had already headed to his next mission location.

I still walked there.

Are there any monsters that can increase movement speed?

The objective remains the vicinity of his spawn point, so Shi Qian has to run back from the swamp.

He was starting to regret starting the mission to test his new skills.

However, without starting the quest, he can't find the player.

Although many monsters spawn in the swamp during the day, the most spawning slime will only have its energy value calculated after all the smaller slimes it splits into have been killed.

Grinding monsters is still too slow.

It's unrealistic to ask him to go down into the swamp and find another monster spawner.

We still have to do tasks.

"Does this mean the mission area is expanding little by little? Do I have to wipe out that entire area before I can get out?"

Shi Qian doesn't laugh, Shi Qian cries, Shi Qian is miserable.

Although his mind and body were extremely unwilling, Shi Qian still went back.

The punishment for refusing a task is rather severe, and he can't afford it right now.

He always checked the penalty for refusing a task after accepting it.

The punishments became increasingly severe with each instance.

These were all periods when he simply couldn't afford them.

Shi Qian felt he needed to think twice before accepting any missions in the future.

Thinking this way, I walked and got closer to the target area.
