Minecraft: The Kingdom of Yuanshen

Chapter 43
"Boom!" There was another thunderclap, and a tall jungle tree in the distance was chopped and burned, black smoke billowed, and flames sprang up.

"Is it raining?" Bu Xin asked me after throwing the wood into the furnace.

"Thunderstorms, it's really rare that there is only thunder without rain. I'm afraid there will be a forest fire this time." I shook my head, took out my fishing rod and sat down, fishing with a line.

The sky was gradually getting dark, but the lightning continued, and the flames caused by the thunder fire below had gradually expanded. Most of the rainforest was engulfed in flames, and the pungent burning smell became stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, not long after, the entire forest was on fire, and the lake where we stayed was surrounded by a wall of fire. The night sky was illuminated red, and the scorching heat from the lake shore could be felt from a long distance away.

"Plop!" With a sound, the float fell, and I hurriedly closed the rod. A big fish was pulled out of the water by me, splashing a lot of water. Its tail was still shaking vigorously, trying to break free.

I unhooked the hook from the mouth of the fish, put it in the backpack, baited again, and continued fishing.

The sky is full of lightning and thunder, and the ground is a sea of ​​​​fire and purgatory, but I am fishing quietly in it. Comparing the two, it is really a strange picture.

Bu Xin and Chen Xiaolin took pickaxes to dig through the floor of the temple and went down to the mine.Bu Xin had nothing to do, so he decided to go down to have a look because he had a few torches; but Chen Xiaolin couldn't stand the deafening thunder, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide.

"Who will fight to the death with me?!" Chen Xi suddenly shouted in the public channel.This is the password I made an appointment with him before, which means that he has arrived at the appointed place.

There was laughter from other teams on the public channel, and someone mocked him, thinking that he was losing his mind.

"Okay, you wait! But I still advise you to develop for a while, so as not to be defeated!" I replied.The meaning is obvious, literally, let him continue to develop and wait for us to pass.

"Chenxi and the others have arrived?" Bu Xin sent a message to ask me.It seems that he also received the news on the public frequency.

"Yes, you and Xiaolin also dug there. I can dig the minerals that come across on the road. If there is not enough torches, we can burn wood. We have plenty of wood." I said.

……

Early the next morning, the thunderstorm subsided and the sky returned to clear, but instead of the refreshing smell of early morning, the air smelled of burnt wood.

I rubbed my waist, which was sore from fishing, and put away the fishing rod.I caught 21 fish in one night, I was lucky, no garbage was caught.

"Where did you dig it?" I sent a message to Bu Xin.

"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush. You've been digging for so long, your hand is almost broken!" He replied impatiently.

"It's dawn outside now, I'll go there right away."

After sending the message, I heard the sound of water outside, and it seemed that someone was swimming, so I quickly peeked out from the door.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, this look almost scared my heart out of my mouth!

A lightning creeper, surrounded by electric lights, crackled, sinking and floating in the water under my feet!

"Wow!" I yelled in fright, and hurriedly backed away. I just wanted to get the sword out of my bag, but I couldn't find it. Then I remembered that I hadn't made a sword yet-it was a moment of negligence.

Unexpectedly, the creeper outside also screamed "Wow", and it was a girl's voice!
"I'm going, I really hit a ghost." I heard the voice of Creeper and felt that the world view had been subverted, and hurriedly fiddled with a stone sword from the workbench.

With a sword in hand, I have enough confidence. I thought to myself that the big deal is what to do. I can’t kill people in the water. Don’t waste the experience of sending it to your door.

I walked out of the temple gate, and saw that lightning creeper was actually hiding in the water, shivering, and swam desperately towards the shore.

When she saw me coming out, she was so frightened that she almost choked on a mouthful of water. Her four short legs kicked around in the water, and the water splashed everywhere.

"This... creepers are afraid of people?!" My world view was refreshed again.This is really unheard of and unseen. Cats are afraid of mice and snakes, and creepers run away when they are afraid of people.
"You...you don't come here...come here again and I will..." She turned around, looked at me in horror, and uttered something, like a little girl who saw a big bad wolf, her voice was sweet and cloying Man, it makes it difficult for me to kill it.

It seems that it is another advanced artificial intelligence born with intelligence.

"Hey, Creeper, can you talk?" I thought this little guy was quite funny, so I put away the stone sword.

"Of course!" The creeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me put away his weapon, "Also, don't call the creeper, he's a noble creeper, oh no, I'm a noble lightning crawler now!"

"It's so ugly, it's better to call it creepy." I teased.

"You..." The creeper's green face actually showed a little redness, this is the first time I've seen a creeper blush.

interesting!

She seemed to be angry, and yelled at me: "He has a name, my name is Xiaoye! Listen up—Xiaoye! Don't call me a creeper in the future!"

I have black lines all over my head.What happened to this world?Is this still Minecraft?Creepers can speak, even if they have a name.

……

Outside, in the game live broadcast hall, the commentator just cut the screen to me, and saw me chatting with the creeper named Xiao Ye.

"Lightning Creeper!" The audience exclaimed.

"...It seems that player Yi Ouyi is really lucky. He first encountered the jungle temple, and then encountered an extremely rare high-pressure creeper." The commentator commented.

The sound of me talking to Xiao Ye did not come out of the speaker, and everyone watching the game thought I was confronting her and was about to kill her.

But the judging panel can hear the conversation between Xiao Ye and me.The four judges had different expressions, Jeb frowned, Set was expressionless, Huahvi raised his mouth slightly, and Microsoft's technical director Nick (Nick) clapped the case.

"Help me connect with this Chinese player named Yi Ouyi!" He shouted to the staff beside him.

The staff hurriedly fixed the equipment and handed the microphone to Nick.Nick grabbed the microphone and put it to his mouth, and a few short and powerful words popped out of his mouth:

"Contestant Yi Ouyi, kill her!"

……

In the game world, I was making fun of Xiao Ye, and she was talking to me with great interest about how she came here to play, about how she was born in the dark, and learned the first sentence - "Don't kill me!"

She has no malice towards human beings, she just wants to live quietly and visit every land in the MC world.

At this time, a strange voice suddenly sounded in my mind, asking me to kill Xiaoye.

"Who are you?" My interest was disturbed, and I felt uncomfortable.Just listening to it fascinated!
"I am one of the persons in charge of this competition, Nick, the technical director of Microsoft Corporation, and also a member of the judging panel of this competition. I now ask you to kill this crawler immediately!" His voice was cold, unquestionable. An air of arrogance aloof.

I looked at Xiao Ye, she was still talking on her own, unaware that someone was telling me to kill her.

"Why?" I asked back.Xiaoye is fairly friendly to humans. I don't have any reason to kill her, and I can't think of killing her. Just because of his words, let me kill Xiaoye. Why?
"There is no reason, this is confidential." He did not explain to me at all, but began to threaten me, "Contestant Yi Ouyi, what I can tell you is that if you don't kill her, you will be banned forever. I have the right !"

I sneered after hearing this.I hate it when people threaten me!
"I'm not a professional player, so the suspension doesn't matter. I came to compete this time because of the post-match treatment. If I can't make it through, I can go back to China and continue working. There is no need to stay in the United States at all." I confronted, "The moon in foreign countries is not round!"

"Oh? Really, what about your teammate Bu Xin? He is a professional MC player, and MC is now our Microsoft..."

He actually wanted to have Bu Xin's idea, and I felt an unknown anger in my heart.

"You can try..." I said coldly, "If you don't have a reason to convince me, I can tell you directly, I won't kill her!"

"Then I'm sorry, you are going to retire." Nick cut off the communication.

I cursed angrily, and the more I thought about it, the more inexplicable I became.It's really a big fuss that a high-level artificial intelligence can actually make the director of Microsoft's technical department contact me and order me to kill him.

……

On the other side, Nick threw the microphone on the table with a "bang" and shouted at the staff beside him: "Go to the A2 compartment, turn off his virtual machine, and bring the virtual machine over. Now, immediately!"
