Chapter 354: Cyber ​​Version of Digging Your Own Grave: Repeat After Me, Dig Three and Fill One (Subscribe)

As we all know, no matter how Taiping Dao develops, hardcore has always been its gaming feature.

Games like Kerbal Space Program, Oxygen Not Included, Cities: Skylines, Digital Combat Simulator World, and Squad.

Even in hardcore, there are at least tutorials for beginners.

Even the beginner tutorials of these games are either equally hardcore or very brief.

But at least it exists, right?
Good guy!
How come in Minecraft, even the beginner tutorial was cancelled?

Little do people know that this is one of the reasons why Minecraft can attract countless players.

Players can play freely and at their own pace in the created world. There are no novice tasks and no restrictions. They can play the game however they want.

Generally speaking, a game will have many levels waiting for players to break through. When the player breaks through the last level, he has completed the entire game.

But My World is a special case. In the eyes of players, this game has no end, and there is no such thing as completing the game. The player’s road of survival and adventure is endless.

However, there are also many players who like to set some standards for themselves to pass the game in order to motivate themselves.

One of the more mainstream and widely recognized standards for passing the game is to defeat the Ender Dragon.

Because the Ender Dragon is the biggest BOSS in Minecraft, players’ goal at the beginning is to defeat the Ender Dragon.

From chopping trees to survive in the beginning, to gradually strengthening equipment and weapons, finding the fortress, activating the end portal, fighting the ender dragon, finally defeating the ender dragon, looking for the ruins of the end, and finally reading the poem of the end.

In the eyes of most novice players, this is considered a clearance.

But when they actually reach this step, they will find that this can only be regarded as a small goal, or the most basic level of clearance.

When the player defeats the Ender Dragon, should all the game achievements be unlocked?
The game achievement has been unlocked, do you want to build a huge building complex?

All of these are different.

It can be said that Minecraft is a game that has only a midpoint but no end point as long as the player wants.

There is always a lot of people passing messages in the live broadcast room. Some players who have watched Minecraft in other live broadcast rooms have posted comments one after another:

"Eggplant, this game has no novice missions, let alone novice guides. You can play however you want."

"Yes, you are now at the first level of Freud's hierarchy of needs theory - survival needs. First rely on your own abilities to meet your survival needs."

"Fuck, the guy above, you are awesome. I watched a live broadcast and you even brought up Floyd. I admire you."

"Eggplant, although you don't have any tools now, you can pull down trees with your bare hands. With wood blocks, you can make weapons, armor and tools."

"Pulling a tree with bare hands? Interesting, really interesting." Liu Peijia pondered for a long time before coming to his senses:

"If you want to be rich, you have to pull down trees first, right?"

"You old thief are really skilled and bold. All right, I will weigh the weight of this game."

Liu Peijia manipulated the keyboard's movement keys, walked over the hillside, and followed Steve's devilish steps to a big tree made of brown blocks.

Liu Peijia held down the mouse, and Steve stretched out his hands and started to stroke the tree frantically.

After a while, a square stump of the big tree shrank to the size of a Rubik's Cube and was automatically absorbed into the inventory by Liu Peijia.

[New recipe unlocked: please check your recipe book]

Unlocking a new formula should be an exciting thing, but Liu Peiqia had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Because the big tree in front of him had a middle area cut in half by Liu Peijia, but the tree did not fall down completely.

Instead, it still stands in the same place, even the upper part which is cut off in the middle is still floating in the air, motionless.

Liu Peijia: “…”

What the hell?

Physics no longer exists?
"Can we still play like this?" Liu Peijia walked under the tree and looked up at the intact tree trunk above:
"Newton's coffin lid is about to burst."

The viewers in the live broadcast room burst into laughter when they saw this, and it felt like they were watching Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

In fact, when they saw this scene for the first time in other live broadcast rooms, they had the same expression as Liu Peiqia.

I even thought of a line from the science fiction novel The Three-Body Problem:

Physics no longer exists!
Later, when players played the game themselves, they found that in this block world, everything is possible, even in survival mode.

"Eggplant, you are a big anchor after all, don't act like an inexperienced person!"

“Sprinkle some water! Newton never played Minecraft, otherwise he would have lamented that physics is dead.”

"Kennedy: My World? What a mind-blowing game!"

"I've given you all the skills to pull up trees with your bare hands. Hurry up and pull them up well, or you'll be in trouble at night!"

When Liu Peijia saw this comment, he suddenly came to his senses.

at night?

Is there anything good for me?

yes--

If it's not dangerous, then what is survival mode?
If there are no enemies, what is the use of the health bar?
night?

Liu Peijia turned his head and found that the sun had already set. Not only was there not much time left for the Chinese football team, but there was also not much time left for him either.

"Let's do it, let's do it!"

He clicked the mouse frantically and pulled the tree hard, and soon he harvested a lot of wood.

Next, Liu Peijia called out the character interface and found that there were four equipment slots and one weapon slot in the character column, and there was also a grid-like synthesis column on the right consisting of four small slots.

Crafting allows players to create new tools and blocks using items in their inventory.

Players can craft in the 2x2 grid in the inventory, or in the 3x3 grid provided by the workbench.

The synthesis function is a very important game function in Minecraft. Only by mastering the synthesis function and various recipes can you gradually get started and understand the fun of Minecraft.

After checking the recipe book, Liu Peijia used one log to make four wooden boards, and then used four wooden boards to make a workbench.

The shape of this workbench is a cube, with patterns wrapped around the eight corners and a nine-square pattern in the center.

Liu Peijia placed the workbench on the ground and made more wooden boards and sticks. According to the recipe instructions, he finally made a wooden pickaxe.

【Name：Wooden Pickaxe】

[+2 Attack Damage]

[+12 Attack Speed]

The emergence of tools heralded more efficient production efficiency. Liu Peijia dug all the way down, collecting soil and stones.

[Progress has been achieved - Stone Age]

"Eh? Interesting!"

When Liu Peijia saw the prompt, she couldn't suppress her joy.

He was intoxicated by the charm of My World, where he created a kingdom from nothing with bare hands.

The most important thing is that while Liu Peijia collected stones, he also unlocked a new formula.

Liu Peijia continued to explore on the workbench, using wooden sticks and stones to make a more efficient tool - a stone pickaxe!
[Name: Stone Pickaxe] [+3 Attack Damage]

[+12 Attack Speed]

"I'll just upgrade my muskets!" Liu Peijia said with a smile:

“I didn’t expect that I would have such a high talent in the game Minecraft.”

"Let me see, what else can I make with the current recipe? Stone axe? Okay, with a stone axe, I can avoid having to chop down trees with my bare hands. Need more stones? No problem!"

Liu Peijia dug underground and obtained enough stones to make a stone axe.

【Name: Stone Axe】

[+9 Attack Damage]

[+0.8 Attack Speed]

The attack power of a stone axe is much higher than that of a stone pickaxe.

With weapons in hand, the world is mine!
Liu Peijia put away the workbench, stood on the hillside and looked down at the surroundings.

He discovered that there were many animals on the plains. Although they were all abstract animals constructed with blocks, he could vaguely distinguish between chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and other animals through their appearance.

"food?!"

Liu Peijia's eyes lit up. He did not forget that he had chosen the survival mode. The hunger value would decrease and he would not survive without food.

Liu Peijia held a stone axe and started killing animals on the plains. The animals were unable to dodge and fell to the ground howling, becoming his food supply.

During this period, Liu Peijia discovered another tool, the furnace, which could be used to make various foods by consuming wood and raw meat.

With food and weapons, Liu Peiqie's face was almost filled with the word "hang" and he was just about to shout, "Who else?"

At this moment, the setting sun has completely sunk into the mountains, the sky is gradually getting darker, night is about to fall, and the player's vision is also disturbed to a certain extent.

Liu Peijia had just made a bed using the workbench when he saw two red dots flashing and moving not far away. He looked carefully and found that the two red dots were actually the eyes of a huge spider.

The moment it saw Liu Peijia, the big spider danced its limbs and took the initiative to attack.

"Hey, you little brat, are you still excited? I don't know how many chickens, ducks, cows and sheep my men have died. What do you have to gain? In my eyes, you are nothing!"

Liu Peijia brandished the stone axe in his hand and launched an active attack bravely: "Today I will let you see my chaotic cloak axe skills!"

That’s what I say, and that’s what I do.

But after the actual battle, Liu Peijia found that the big spider's attack speed was very fast, it moved more flexibly than the player, and it had high damage. It could also jump and attack.
Shenfa!

It’s definitely body skills!
Good spider, you don’t want to learn how to weave a web but instead learn how to move your body, right?

You think you are Spider-Man?
I fight, I fight, I fight!
Liu Peijia gritted his teeth and chose to fight head-on. As the saying goes, a random punch can kill a master, and the axe is not a vegetarian.

After finally getting rid of a big spider, the materials it dropped were the first time Liu Peiqia had seen them.

But before Liu Peijia could be happy for long, he found that there were several zombies behind and in front of him rushing towards him.

"Your mother's kiss, bullying the minority with the majority? Are you still human if you bully the minority with the majority?"

Liu Peijia smiled bitterly and said, "Well, you are really not human."

"No, what should I do now? In my current state, if the zombies hit me, it would be like hitting my son."

In the live broadcast room, fans saw such a popular scene and posted comments one after another:

"Big Spider: Killing my brothers and sisters? You monster, I'll kill you!"

"Three Cyber ​​Heroes vs. Cyber ​​Lu Bu? What a spectacle!"

"What are you afraid of? Why can't you fight a giant spider?"

"I didn't expect that Eggplant's first time would be given to the big spider like this. You can't do that?"

Liu Peijia glanced at the health bar. His health was still recovering slowly. Zombies and giant spiders were right in front of him. He suddenly had an idea.

Liu Peijia took out a stone pickaxe and started digging underground. He quickly dug out three grids that could accommodate himself, jumped down, and used soil to fill the grid above his head.

When the earth blocked the only remaining gap, the cave became pitch dark and pitch dark.

Liu Peijia listened carefully and could even hear the sounds of zombies and giant spiders moving above the cave.

They wandered around unwillingly, but they could do nothing about Liu Peijia and could only rage helplessly.

Player: "!!!"

Water friend: "!!!"

Cyber ​​version digging its own grave?
I rely on!

See you a long time!
I've seen people fighting one against a hundred, I've seen people with extremely swift movements, but this is the first time I've seen someone dig his own grave and fake his own death and escape.

"Eggplant, you have changed. You have refreshed the offline players."

"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of this trick? Damn, didn't I die in vain?"

"Yes, physics no longer exists in my world, so this method is feasible. Doesn't that mean that building castles in the air is also feasible?"

"The person above, your method is quite interesting. Let me try it."

Seeing the comments from netizens, Liu Peiqia said defensively: "What do you know? How can this be considered digging one's own grave? This is clearly a way to protect oneself."

"To be or not to be, that is the question, do you understand?"

"I'm alive now, that's awesome! If I wasn't born at dusk on the first day, leaving me with so little time, how could I be in such a mess?"

"As long as I survive the first day safely, with the resources I have collected and the formula I have unlocked, I will build a shelter during the day tomorrow and let you see how powerful I am."

Liu Peijia made a solemn promise and said a lot. In the end, he looked at the pitch-black environment in front of him and asked in great depression:
"By the way, brothers, how long is a night in my world?"

The live broadcast room fans laughed and said:

"Why do you care about this? Can't you just stay in your cyber paradise?"

Liu Peijia shook her head and said, "That won't do. The early stage is the critical time for snowballing. How can I waste an entire night for nothing?"

Liu Peijia looked around, took a look at the reserves in the inventory, thought for a while, and decided not to waste any time digging from the ground to collect various soil, stones, and mineral resources.

He vaguely remembered that there was a downhill slope due north. Maybe he could keep digging and dig a tunnel from there to avoid the monster above his head.

Liu Peijia did what he said and spent a whole night digging underground. He not only harvested a lot of soil and stones, but also obtained a lot of minerals.

Before he knew it, Liu Peijia was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

An unknown amount of time passed before he dug the stairs all the way to the ground, dug out the soil above his head, and looked out.

Liu Peijia found that the sky was bright, the blue sky was flawless, and a few white clouds dotted the sky. It was already daytime.

Liu Peijia crawled out from underground and said with great confidence:

"Okay, guys, it's now!"

"Watch me build a super awesome shelter!"
