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

Chapter 181 Snowfield Creatures Apologize

Shi Qian hadn't expected that the snowfield creatures would discuss this matter for so long.

However, the final result should be considered good.

The snow creatures came up and apologized, and there was no further demand for energy cores.

It seems that marine life is quite reasonable.

I just don't know why the fish in the water could hit the fox on the shore; maybe they were using the water as a whip to lash it out...

Although Shi Qian didn't understand the little quirks of these creatures, he still generously forgave them.

Anyway, nothing major happened, and my part was just a matter of talking.

If you can't even forgive such a small thing, wouldn't that make you seem too heartless?

That would have made things more likely to go wrong; things are fine as they are now.

If there are no major problems, Shi Qian will naturally set it up as much as possible, and then give the dolphins and the others extra chicken legs.

Well done, marine life!

After sending away those protozoa, Shi Qian couldn't help but cheer in his laboratory.

It feels so good to not have to keep arguing.

And then, even happier times were yet to come.

Although the "pure white crystal rock" needed for the "crystallization of the life wave" could not be found, he discovered the white crystal rock used for etching people.

And it wasn't dug out of the ruins, but was growing wild underground!

However, due to his personal attributes, Shi Qian chose to bring Ran Xiao over and put him in charge of digging this white crystal rock.

Go and guard the entrance yourself.

Anyway, Ranxiao's live stream is always locked on, so it doesn't matter whether he's there or not.

This body hasn't seen any players for several days.

Currently, all the players entering the dimension are behaving normally; at least they are following the rules and paying their entrance fees.

Occasionally, one or two people wearing iron armor would come in, but they would win the fight against the monster at the entrance. Ran Xiao didn't stop them after they came in and let them leave normally.

The few ugly, somewhat frightening creatures that I created, which also caused considerable damage, have been placed in the ruins I designed.

The forums are buzzing with people saying these monsters are freaks.

Shi Qian was quite pleased with himself for a long time because of this.

Since it's meant to guard the gate, the stronger it is, the better, ideally able to intimidate the players.

Moreover, during this period, the Ocean Heart recovery project has already reached approximately 60% completion.

It's much faster than Shi Qian expected, but that also means the progress will slow down as time goes on.

I don't know why there are so many Heart of the Ocean...

There were far more Ocean Eyes than Guardians.

But Shi Qian confirmed it many times and it was indeed that astonishing number, so he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, the goods are all bought from players, so I don't have to do anything myself.

and...

Perhaps because what Ranxiao and the others asked for was too demanding, most players chose to give Ocean Heart.

The beaches and islands surrounding the ocean have almost been dug up...

Players are now too lazy to even look for treasure maps; they just go and raid their hometown's chests.

Although the accuracy rate is relatively low, the advantage is that it is highly efficient.

Finding a shipwreck and then searching for its location according to a treasure map is too troublesome.

Why not just dig around on the beach when you see it? You might just find it yourself.

Moreover, although Shi Qian's self-made levels are very difficult, the prizes are very generous.

Diamonds, diamond products, enchanted diamond equipment, various enchantment books, golden apples, and the like.

It is indeed everywhere, but only in the ruins within the dimension.

Other places aren't as good.

Shi Qian also searched some small ruins beneath the seabed in the main world. These places were not difficult to find, so Shi Qian did not allow any valuable items to be placed there.

But compared to the outside world, this place has more abundant resources.

Furthermore, since Shi Qian possesses an energy core, the player's dropped items do not belong to the player; they are normal dropped items.

Therefore, within this dimension, once a player dies, all their dropped items will be directly collected by Shi Qian.

Players initially thought that dying in this dimension meant losing even the chance to loot their corpses, which caused a slight drop in the number of players entering the area.

After Shi Qian, he simply left a few dropped items in place randomly, while the rest were collected by himself for the next round of relic deployment.

To date, very few players have successfully reached the end and exited the hydrothermal vent challenge zone he set up.

Everyone wants the new equipment, but their strength doesn't allow it.

However, among those successful players, the first one was a professional strategy master with extremely strong skills.

After successfully passing the test, he immediately released a strategy video.

Moreover, he also livestreamed himself while completing the challenges.

The others who followed him basically succeeded only because of his strategy.

Even with a guide, the difficulty level remains, and novice players will still struggle to pass the level.

After all, this set includes, but is not limited to: puzzle-solving, parkour, monster fighting, extreme survival, and some elements that test luck.

For example, one level requires you to dig through gravel to find flint.

But this isn't something you can just get whenever you want; item drop rates in Minecraft are always based on luck.

Shi Qian referenced the Wither Skeleton in his own monster design.

Brushing your head is the most agonizing thing.

Luck is also a part of skill. Some people might break on their first try, while the person next to them might have already demolished it ten or more times...

When Shi Qian had nothing to do, he would go and watch the various ways these players died.

He created an automated program for collecting dropped items, eliminating the need for manual operation.

He placed many boxes and funnels near the collection device, not far from the portal entrance, just a few steps away for Ran Xiao.

After all, the ocean he controlled was relatively limited, and he needed to frequently fill the empty relic chests within that dimension.

Then change the appearance of the ruins and put them in a different place.

The ruins might disappear the moment a player posts a walkthrough.

So players discovered that this dimension was not static, which actually fueled their desire to explore even more.

However, due to the large number of ruins and players, Ran Xiaokecheng and Huanye had to go inside to stuff things into the boxes before the Dimension opened each day.

Then Shi Qian moved those boxes into the ruins and rearranged them.

However, recently, because Shi Qian has increased the difficulty of the ruins, their work has become much easier.

Each day, only one person is needed to go and stuff the boxes, so everyone is happy to have a leisurely time, except for those players who are being tortured by monsters.

However, the time spent waiting for the resurrection cooldown must have been quite relaxing.

Shi Qian guarded the gate himself, and he put the dummy back into the laboratory, to be put back in when Ran Xiao returned.
