Minecraft: I'm Really Not a Monster

Underground base, second level.

Nearly thirty meters underground, Yang Bo was leading Xu Ling in labor within the spacious 'Mystic Farm'.

"Xiao Ling, just take this watering can and water these crops. When it's empty, go to the pool over there and refill it."

Yang Bo placed the [Beginner's Sprinkler] into Xu Ling's hands. It could accelerate the growth rate of crops within a 3x3 area.

This was something Yang Bo had obtained after spending a lot of materials, especially the [Magical Fertilizer]. One diamond could only synthesize 3, which was simply highway robbery.

But Yang Bo was just starting out, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it, no matter how difficult it was.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be people coming to help in the future."

Xu Ling looked at the farmland that occupied the entire second level of the underground space and felt a little numb. She couldn't help but mourn her future life.

She didn't know why, but she felt like a black top hat was appearing above Yang Bo's head, just short of carving the words 'Capitalist' on his face.

"I'll try..."

Holding the dark green [Beginner's Essence Sprinkler], she carefully sprinkled it on the ground. Clear water flowed from the sprinkler onto the ground.

In an instant, the originally dry-looking [Farmland] immediately became moist. What surprised her even more was that not only the [Farmland] she watered became moist, but even the surrounding [Farmland] became equally moist.

"This..."

Looking at the surprised Xu Ling, Yang Bo liked her naivete.

The originally sprout-like crop plants grew visibly. Yang Bo's eyes lit up. If it grew at this rate, even if it couldn't keep up with the speed in the game, it wouldn't be much slower.

Two minutes later, Xu Ling and Yang Bo were both staring at the already mature crops, but their expressions were completely different. One was questioning life, and the other was ecstatic.

"Damn, it's ripe already?? I thought I'd have to wait at least half an hour!!"

Yang Bo took out a light green [Lower-grade Essence Scythe] from his backpack and gently waved it at the mature crops on the ground.

The mature crops automatically flew out of the [Farmland] and landed on the ground.

"Haha!"

At this moment, Yang Bo finally couldn't contain the joy in his heart. He turned his head to look at Xu Ling, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably, and said, "Next, I'll have to ask you to take care of me!"

Xu Ling couldn't help but shudder. For some reason, Jerry, who was lying down and sleeping on the first floor, suddenly woke up and looked around blankly.

Just now, it felt an extremely strong malice sweeping over its entire body.

… …

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Bo had been on the second underground level for a full half month.

The originally empty farmland was now planted with various essence crops.

Yang Bo waved the [Beginner's Essence Scythe] in his hand, collecting and cultivating the essence crops on the ground.

However, Xu Ling's figure was not here. She didn't have a BUG-level body like Yang Bo. During this time, she always felt like she couldn't hold on anymore. Yang Bo saw that she was indeed overworked, so he gave her a day off.

Standing up straight and stretching, Yang Bo looked at the completely harvested crops and Jerry, who was holding the [Sprinkler] and watering, and a special sense of satisfaction rose from the depths of his heart.

"I wonder if there are any recovery-type evolutionaries. Even if they can't recover injuries, just recovering stamina and spirit would be fine..."

At least 18 hours of work a day. Otherwise, how could he survive in this apocalyptic world without hoarding more supplies?

Black-hearted??

No, no, no! He himself worked 23 hours a day, only giving himself one hour to eat.

He had never seen or even heard of such a self-disciplined boss before he transmigrated.

Flutter, flutter...

The sound of flapping wings came from the spiral staircase.

『Something happened outside!!』

Yang Bo turned his head to look at the little chick lying on his shoulder and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

During this time, other than the occasional one or two mutated animals running over to deliver him meals, nothing unexpected had happened.

The same was true for the new gathering place. The construction of the city wall was in full swing.

『There's a big fog outside!』

Yang Bo: "..."

Making such a fuss, he thought someone was coming to steal eggs.

"It's nothing to make a fuss about fog," he said, putting away the scythe and beckoning to Jerry. "Jerry, take a break. The growth crystals below aren't growing too slowly. Let's go up and take a look."

Following the spiral staircase, Yang Bo arrived on the ground.

What came into view was the thick fog.

"It's not a spore cloud..."

This made him breathe a sigh of relief. The spore cloud in De City had left him with an extremely deep impression. Although he wouldn't be affected, the bees, Jerry, Xu Ling, and even the humans in the gathering place would be affected.

Now that he thought about it, those spore lives could be considered ubiquitous.

"How did such a big fog suddenly appear?"

Could this be a characteristic of this world?

The visibility in the fog was very low. Even Yang Bo could only see within a ten-meter radius. Just as he was pondering the fog, a burst of footsteps came from behind him.

Xu Ling didn't know when she had woken up and climbed up to the second floor from the stairwell.

"Such a big fog... Wait, why is it so cold?"

Hearing Xu Ling's words, Yang Bo frowned. Because of his digitized body, he wasn't sensitive to temperature. Even if he stood naked in a blizzard, he wouldn't be affected.

"Cold?"

"Yes, the temperature has dropped by at least ten degrees compared to yesterday..."

Xu Ling's eyes were filled with solemnity. This sudden drop in temperature would cause a series of problems.

Yang Bo nodded slightly, already having the idea of finding a thermometer in the direction of the city. At the same time, a feeling of unease rose in his heart.

'Hopefully, the temperature drop is only because of the fog...'

"Xu Ling, it's cold outside. Go stay downstairs and don't get sick."

Although humans' resistance has greatly improved after evolution, they can still get sick, and the treatment effect of ordinary drugs will be much worse.

Just then, a middle-aged man's voice rang out from the walkie-talkie on the table on the second floor.

"Mr. Yang, the fog is too heavy this morning. I might be a little late."

"Don't worry. The fog is a bit abnormal today. I'll have Wang Cai pick you up at the edge of the city later. By the way, can you bring me a thermometer?"

"No problem, Mr. Yang."

This person was the chef Wang Hongbin had found for him. Before the cataclysm, he was a head chef in a restaurant, and his skills were very good.

What troubled Yang Bo was that the dishes he made were not recognized by the golden finger, so they could not increase health.

It seemed that he could only hope to obtain some cooking modules in the future.

… …

[I thought for a long time and couldn't think of any way to cause the Earth's temperature to drop suddenly other than a meteorite hitting the Earth...]

[So I'm going to use some more fantastical methods.]
