Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

Little did Yang Bo know that Wilson had already begun his speech, and Yang Bo was currently basking in his own self-satisfaction on the school playground.

'A dozen or so spoilsports will be teachers. We'll see if any homeless people come, at least to get the school running smoothly. Once the shops open, we can collect some lodging fees, food fees, and tuition fees…'

Not paying? Get out! My school provides a safe haven; if you don't like it, then don't stay!

Arriving at the sandpit, this long jump sandpit is only about 8 meters long and 3 meters wide, which is considered a standard sandpit for a typical school.

However, the sand inside is very clean, much better than those sand pits in the front hall that are actually dirt pits instead of sand pits.

"Sand...this exit must be at a level related to sand!"

Several desert and beach-related levels flashed through his mind, but he couldn't be sure where this place would lead.

"Never mind, we'll just go and take a look."

With a light leap, he jumped into the sandpit.

In an instant, the surrounding environment underwent a dramatic change, followed by a wave of scorching heat blowing in our faces.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, relentlessly showering down its heat.

Yang Bo stood on a sand dune and looked at the surrounding environment: "It really is related to sand."

In fact, many levels of the back room have signs at the entrances and exits. Some are marked on the doors, some are stairs leading up or down, and some are like sandpits, using elements as cues, such as a swimming pool in a school.

He took out Eric's legendary notebook from his backpack.

Once opened, the information for the current level is displayed on the paper.

Level 46 Arabian Desert

Survival Difficulty: Level 2

[Insecure][Stable][Small number of entities]

Level 46 looks like an Arabian desert; it is very dry, hot during the day, and freezing at night.

Level 46 has three states:

Daytime: When the sun is in the sky, the temperature can reach as high as 70 degrees Celsius, which is fatal to humans.

The way to withstand such high temperatures is to use the ruins as shade, places that seem to have special properties.

Nighttime: Nighttime here is equally deadly, with temperatures dropping to -30 degrees Celsius. Without adequate warm clothing, people can suffer from hypothermia.

Just like during the day, the ruins can also serve as a safe place at this time because they have the property of retaining heat.

Dawn: Dawn is the best time to explore Level 46. At this time, the temperature will be around 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, and although the light is dim, the environment is more than enough for exploration.

In addition, Level 46 does not follow a 24-hour day-night cycle, but rather has a period between these three states, and their changes over a period of time appear to be random.

However, regardless of the state of Level 46, a sandstorm may occur, covering the entire environment.

Dust storms are just as dangerous as dust storms in the front hall.

In addition, a highly hostile entity, the Sand Spirit, will be generated during sandstorms.

After reading the message, Yang Bo closed his notebook and looked up at the sun in the sky.

"This level isn't worth much..."

It's not that it has no value, it's just that he can't use it given his current situation.

"Well, since we're already here, digging some sand to take back won't be a wasted trip."

The 70-degree heat was only the temperature of direct sunlight; the sandy ground was even hotter. However, Yang Bo only felt hot and didn't experience any other negative effects.

Take out a shovel and gently tap the sand dune beneath your feet.

The dunes are shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

"Sand x 64"

"Regular blocks can be chained together? Wait, what's that?"

The sand dunes disappeared, but a special patch of sand was revealed.

"Suspicious sand"

Chapter 152 An Unlucky Wanderer

Yang Bo squatted down on the suspicious sand, holding a "brush" and gently brushing it.

Suspicious sand is a block in Minecraft that can be used for archaeology. It usually generates naturally in cellars inside desert temples, at the bottom of desert wells, or in tropical underwater ruins.

Although it's unclear why the sand in the dunes was deemed "suspicious sand," it didn't stop Yang Bo from farming items.

As the brush moved, cracks appeared in the suspicious sand, and a gold nugget the size of a fist emerged from one of the cracks.

"Gold nuggets?"

Yang Bo looked around again. Besides the endless desert, there were some scattered desert ruins and broken walls.

"Isn't this thing something that can only be spawned in the suspicious sand of tropical underwater ruins?"

Suspicious sand will spawn corresponding items depending on its location.

Gold nuggets are one of the items that can only be obtained by scavenging suspicious sand in tropical underwater ruins.

"Could this level have been the ocean before?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Yang Bo immediately dismissed the thought. Even if this place was once an ocean, what remained shouldn't be a desert; it should be a salt flat.

Half an hour later——

"Egg hatching! Egg hatching! Ah—"

Yang Bo threw the brush in his hand onto the sand, complaining irritably, "Another pottery shard? This shouldn't be happening. Even if the probability of finding a beast egg is low, it shouldn't be this low..."

Put the brush back into your backpack.

"There's probably a problem with this block. Let's try another location..."

He slid directly down the sand dunes and walked towards the dilapidated ruins of the buildings that had 'grown' out of the desert not far away.

"Huh? There are still living people?"

There was clearly a person lying in the shade, avoiding the scorching sun. As soon as you entered the ruins, the sweltering air instantly became cooler.

Although it was still hot, it was much better than the conditions on the sand dunes.

"It's not just the shade that has a cooling effect; we'll have to look into that later."

The thick stone walls and broken archways in the ruins intertwine to create large shaded areas, effectively blocking most of the scorching sun.

The person Yang Bo saw was lying under the widest section of the broken wall.

The other person was around thirty years old, looked Russian, strong and robust but with a bluish complexion and chapped lips, appearing dehydrated.

"Hey friend, you're not allowed to sleep here..."

Hearing his teasing voice, the man struggled to open his eyes and said, "Water—save...me."

His voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and his few words sounded like shattered glass, causing him to look pained.

"Fortunately, my hearing is still pretty good."

He took a bottle of almond water out of his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into the man's mouth. As soon as the almond water was poured in, the man's condition improved at a visible speed.

'As expected of almond water!'

It helps restore energy, treat minor internal and external injuries, and increase satiety and nutrition. If it weren't for the weight issue, this almond water would be absolutely worth the effort.

"How about it?"

"Thank you."

The man struggled to sit up, his eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal and worry about the future.

"This place is absolutely terrifying. I felt like I was going to faint after just a few minutes in the sun..."

That's true. An ordinary person would experience heatstroke symptoms within 5 minutes at this temperature, and if they're unlucky enough to faint, they could become a dried-up corpse.

How long have you been here?

"Six days."

The man pursed his chapped lips, and seeing this, Yang Bo took out a bottle of almond water and handed it to him.

"you…"

The man stared at the almond water bottle that had appeared out of nowhere in Yang Bo's hand, feeling a bit disoriented and wondering if he was hallucinating due to dehydration.

"Take a couple of sips first, take your time. My name is Yang Bo, and I'm a businessman."

"My name is Jaeger."

Jaeger tentatively took the almond water Yang Bo handed him, and the cool touch made him realize that this was not an illusion.

He looked at Yang Bo's young face and gave a bitter smile.

“I’ve basically searched this place thoroughly. There are very few supplies, and no water resources at all. If we can’t find a way to leave here, death is just a matter of time.”

Level 46's day and night conditions are so extreme that it's difficult for unprepared people to survive.

Only the temperature at a special evening hour allows wanderers to explore freely in this level.

"Have you seen anyone else besides me these past few days?"

Jaeger gently shook his head:

"No."

"You should rest first."

It seems the investment in those two bottles of almond water is going to be lost. This guy is clearly just an unlucky fellow who accidentally ended up at this level, and we can't get any information out of him.

Yang Bo stood up, and Jaeger quickly spoke up:

"Where are you going?"

"Looking around, I'm quite interested in the ruins on this level."

"Watch out for the sun..."
