Minecraft: I'm Really Not a Monster

The next day, at dawn.

In the ruins of De City, the sounds of gunfire had gradually subsided overnight. Apart from the occasional shot or two, there were no other sounds.

The once noisy environment was now, at this moment, eerily silent.

Yang Bo strolled along the dilapidated road. After the major earthquake, the monster invasion, the mutant creature attacks, and the artillery bombardment,

the fact that any buildings in De City were still standing could only mean that the construction companies here hadn't cut corners.

"Squeak, squeak…"

A mutated rat with blood-red eyes emerged from a crack in the ruins ahead, scurrying towards him on its short legs.

He didn't hold back, kicking it with all his might. Watching the mutated rat trace a perfect arc through the air, he remarked with some emotion:

"I wonder if this mutated rat knows Jerry…"

Shaking his head, he continued forward, following his memory. Beside him was Aria, fully armed.

Aria wore leather armor of an unknown material, wielding a long spear and a wooden shield, with a meter-and-a-half-long hunting bow slung across her back.

The bowstring, as thick as a little finger, made it clear that the weapon's lethality was definitely off the charts.

"Yang, why are you looking for those Abyss spores? They are weak. With proper protection, any tribal warrior can eliminate them."

Gazing at the distant apartment building crushed beneath the surrounding collapsed high-rises, Yang Bo smiled as he answered Aria's question.

"They are useless to you, but they are very important to me, especially their reproduction rate."

Spore creatures = Hairballs = Infinite loot bags = Training subordinates = Puppet upgrades

Although they were weak, usually only dropping white or green loot bags,

their other aspects were not to be underestimated. As long as he could find a way to create a suitable environment for them, they could mass-produce [Energy Stones] and experience points in the future.

"Reproduction rate?"

Aria blinked in confusion, then said, "Although those spore creatures reproduce quickly, they are also very harmful to the land."

"The reason why the Abyss environment is unsuitable for planting is closely related to spore creatures."

Yang Bo stopped walking, then revealed a look of realization.

"Damn, I thought spore creatures were perpetual motion machines. I forgot, they are plants…"

Their reproduction must require the absorption of something, even hairballs need heat to reproduce, a lot of heat.

Everything has a clear price tag.

Whether it's hairballs or these Abyss spores, these seemingly unimportant things might be the native creatures of the Abyss.

"I wonder if these spore creatures like farm fertilizer…"

The hospital's sewage relies on the eternally burning flames on the [Hellstone] to clean it up. Looking at it this way, it's a complete waste.

"Let's catch one and take it back first. If we can't afford to raise it, we'll just clean it up."

Continuing forward, he soon arrived at the apartment building where Yang Bo had transmigrated, but the apartment building was no longer the way he remembered it.

The once-tall apartment building had now been reduced to ruins, with only two and a half stories still standing on the ground.

Scanning the ruins, the entire first and second floors were covered in white light. The [Fluorescence] effect was working.

"As expected, there are still some…"

These spore creatures were indeed tenacious.

"Aria, this building is full of spore creatures. Be careful not to get infected."

Aria nodded lightly, naturally familiar with the characteristics of these spore creatures.

Yang Bo took out his pickaxe and gently tapped the wall of the ruins.

Dong, dong…

The crisp sound spread into the ruins, and the 'mushroom people' living inside immediately stirred.

A piece of the wall fell off, and the pale little mushroom people inside immediately crowded over with their mouths open,

but the next moment, the little mushroom people scattered as if they had seen something dirty.

Even though these guys didn't make any sound, Yang Bo still felt the words 'bad luck'.

"? ? ?"

"Damn it, explain yourself clearly!!"

Feeling discriminated against, Yang Bo didn't use the pickaxe anymore. He directly kicked the wall hard, and a large piece of the wall flew into the dark space on the first floor.

Puff.

A little mushroom person was crushed by the wall.

But the other little mushroom people still hid in the corner, unmoving, their attitude clear.

'Do whatever you want!'

It's no wonder these little mushroom people are like this. When other creatures attack them, they at most tear them apart and eat them. Even if a little bit of debris is left behind, they are not completely dead.

But when the man in front of them attacks them, it will make them die completely. Every spore will lose its activity and turn into ashes that scatter in the wind…

Yang Bo strode into this space resembling monster entrails. The walls and even the ceiling were covered with dense white vines.

In the center of the room were also incubation chambers, but because of his arrival, these incubation chambers were constantly shrinking.

Because of the [Fluorescence] ability, he could clearly see that these incubation chambers were moving, moving upstairs.

Reaching out, he grabbed a little mushroom person in the corner that looked relatively pleasing and said, ignoring its struggles, "I need seeds to reproduce in other places."

Yang Bo didn't know if these spores could understand his words, but this kind of existence with a collective consciousness should also have its own intelligence.

As soon as he finished speaking, the constantly wriggling vines suddenly stopped, and the little mushroom person held in his hand also stopped resisting.

Two seconds later, the vines on the ground in front of Yang Bo wriggled and rose, and soon something resembling a flower bud appeared in front of him.

The flower bud slowly opened, revealing a fist-sized 'jade stone' inside.

"This is your seed?"

He threw away the little mushroom person in his hand and reached out to grab the constantly wriggling 'seed'.

This 'seed' was crystal clear, and he could clearly see an [Energy Stone] inside emitting a blue light, making the seed look even more beautiful.

The soft, waxy feel was somewhat like jelly.

"Consider yourself sensible!"

He tried to put this 'seed' into his backpack, but found that it actually went in.

This shows that this thing is really a 'seed', and not a clone of the spore collective in front of him.

After all, things that have given birth to self-awareness cannot be put into the backpack.

Of course, there are corresponding modules except.

Now that the goal had been achieved, Yang Bo turned and left. As for the spore creatures here, he didn't have any other thoughts.

"Aria, since the gunfire has stopped, let's go to the rift and see what's going on."
