Minecraft: I'm Really Not a Monster

There was no need to aim deliberately; all the monsters were clustered around his feet, struggling to climb over their companions' bodies.

Yang Bo only needed to grip the cleaver tightly and throw it down with force.

In an instant, he was using both hands simultaneously, throwing sharp cleavers that flew from his hands and struck the monsters below.

Because of the height advantage, the cleavers mostly hit the tops of the monsters' heads.

But as the monsters revealed their health bars, Yang Bo realized that the damage the cleavers inflicted on these monsters was even less than that of a brick, generally only 2 to 3 points, even when hitting the head.

[Health: 19 / 22]

[Health: 22 / 25]

...

"The monsters have become stronger..."

The bodies of the monsters below were noticeably stronger than the few he had killed last night.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He looked up at the sun, which had already peeked out halfway, and thought:

"Could it be because of the sunlight?"

If these monsters were truly a type of spore creature or plant, then it would be understandable for them to become stronger in the sunlight.

As he was pondering what kind of creature this was, a hoarse roar came from inside the security door, and Yang Bo's attention was immediately drawn to it.

A monster that looked no different from the other plant-like humans rushed out of the building.

Yang Bo's eyes filled with surprise.

"This... monsters can actually make sounds??"

This surprised him greatly. Neither the monsters from last night nor the ones currently playing stacking games at his feet had made a sound, only knowing to wave their hands or open their mouths to bite.

But this newcomer was actually able to make a sound.

After the curiosity passed, the red flying brick appeared and accurately struck the monster's head.

However, contrary to Yang Bo's expectations, the head, which should have been blown apart, only caved in slightly.

A health bar appeared above the monster's head.

[Health: 37 / 42]

"Not only has the health increased, but the defense has also increased?"

This brick only dealt 5 points of damage to the opponent, but he wasn't too worried. He had collected quite a few throwable items in his backpack.

"Roar..."

The monster's roar was dry and hoarse, even a bit weak, like a patient with asthma, making the originally tense atmosphere on the rooftop somewhat comical.

"Listening to your voice, I'm really afraid you'll kick the bucket yourself..."

Bang...

The brick struck the special monster's head again, this time directly cracking it open, and some dried-up tissue flowed out.

Yang Bo's throwing motion froze, and the smile on his face disappeared. Looking at the special monster that was still trying to climb up, a word immediately popped into his mind.

'Parasite!'

It was obvious that there should be a human inside. Looking at the tissue flowing out of the head, it was clear that the person was already dead...

This reminded him of the video he had seen in his previous life about 'zombie' cicadas.

The throwable items in his hand flew out again, and the monsters died one by one, their bodies turning from white to gray.

Finally, they turned into dust and dissipated on the rooftop, except for that special monster.

Just as he had guessed, after the monster died, the white outer layer dissipated with the wind, revealing the person inside.

Putting away the wooden plank, Yang Bo stood on the rooftop, looking at the corpse whose age could no longer be determined.

The thin body was like a dried corpse, with many penetrating wounds on the chest and abdomen, and a lot of gray dust remained inside.

"Sigh..."

Yang Bo sighed softly, not knowing whether it was for the other person or for himself.

Putting all the items dropped by the monsters into his backpack, Yang Bo didn't look at the corpse again and opened his backpack to check the gifts this wave of monsters had given him.

[Gray Mushroom] × 21

[Red Mushroom] × 18

[Ordinary Loot Bag] × 4

[Level 1 Energy Stone] × 5

"These mushrooms really drop a lot. Could it be that I'll be drinking mushroom soup every day in the future?"

Suddenly thinking of the delicious taste, Yang Bo smacked his lips, feeling that it wasn't a bad idea.

Opening all the loot bags, in addition to the guaranteed [Pebble] and [Oak Wood], he also got some miscellaneous materials.

To his surprise, he even obtained an iron ingot.

"There's iron!"

Yang Bo held the silver-white iron ingot in his hand and, without any hesitation, took out the workbench, placed it on the ground, and used this precious iron ingot to make a shield.

The shield was very simple to make—arrange 6 wooden planks in a "Y" shape in the crafting grid, and then place an iron ingot at the top of the "Y".

Equipping the shield on his off-hand, a shield more than one meter long and half a meter wide appeared in his left hand.

After trying to raise the shield, he felt his body become somewhat 'heavy,' or rather, 'as steady as a rock,' and his movement speed was greatly reduced.

However, the feeling disappeared the moment he put down the shield.

"With a shield, the safety is greatly improved."

With a thought, the shield that was originally in his left hand immediately disappeared, but when he raised his left hand to make a shielding gesture, the shield reappeared in his hand.

"This is so much more convenient!"

The shield could block all defensible attacks from the player's front, thereby negating all damage. Even if 99,999 points of damage hit the shield, it would only empty the shield's durability.

Using wooden planks to make two boxes, Yang Bo put away the workbench, went downstairs, found a room closest to the rooftop, and put the boxes down.

This would be his temporary shelter. If he had a better choice in the future, he would move.

Stuffing all the unused items on his body into the boxes, the originally full backpack immediately became refreshed.

"It would be great if there was a one-click organization feature."

Although he didn't have any obsessive-compulsive disorder, he would occasionally go blind, knowing that the item was in the backpack, but just couldn't find it.

Looking at his hunger value, which had decreased by 4 points, he took out a can of ham from his backpack, also known as luncheon meat.

Easily opening the can, he took out a spoon and sat on the sofa to eat.

Just as he finished eating a can of luncheon meat, with a ding, two lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Delicious food makes your body and mind feel a burst of joy.]

[Maximum Health + 1]

Seeing the prompt, Yang Bo's hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air, and he widened his eyes and murmured in disbelief:

"The Spice of Life: Carrot Edition mod????"

The [Spice of Life: Carrot Edition] mod is a mod that rewards players for constantly searching for new foods.

After using different amounts of food, you can get rewards that increase the maximum health.

The purpose of this mod is very simple.

To make the player's diet more colorful.

Instead of just relying on some roasted meat, steak, and bread to get through a long game life.

As the maximum health increased, Yang Bo felt some slight changes in his body. He clenched his fist and murmured:

"The power... seems to have become greater..."
