Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

"I will."

That's the only advantage of the back room: after going through several levels and physical screening, the homeless people who remain are basically people with strong wills.

There won't be any overgrown children or super-males.

Yang Bo walked to the broken stone wall a few meters away, reached out and touched the patterns on the stone wall. Although he didn't know how many years had passed since this level, the patterns on these stones were still clearly visible.

'Are the stones used in these buildings made of a special material, capable of absorbing or releasing heat?'

With a thought, he took the cobalt pickaxe out of his backpack and gently tapped it on the stone wall.

"Carved with special runes to solidify sandstone"

"PS: The special runes are the underlying 'code' of level 46 Arabian Desert..."

'Special runes? Code?'

I took the solid sandstone I had just dug out from my backpack. The patterns on it were very complex, and it was impossible to tell what use it was from a single piece.

'We need to find a large wall... Right, most of the ruins are buried in sand, so... let's clear the sand out of these ruins first and see if there's a basement, an intact wall, or anything like that.'

Put the block that was just dug out back in, and the damaged wall will be restored to its original state, with no trace of the block that was dug out.

I switched to a shovel and gently tapped the fine yellow sand at my feet twice.

The sand vanished instantly, gradually revealing the parts hidden beneath the sand in the ruins. Not far away, the sand beneath Jaeger suddenly disappeared, but he didn't react at all, just staring blankly at the figure wielding a shovel to clear the sand.

More than ten minutes later...

Yang Bo used Soul Devourer to gently carve a complex pattern on a piece of sandstone.

"Sandstone bricks engraved with runes"

When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, it absorbs heat and lowers the surrounding temperature; when the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, it dissipates heat and raises the surrounding temperature.

"PS: This only works at level 46, the Arabian Desert level!"

"Level 46 rule runes can only be used here, which makes sense, but... creating puppets!!"

As the thought arose in his mind.

A sandstone golem with its own rune effects appeared beside him.

"Starting today, you're officially called an air conditioner!!"

Chapter 153 The Terrifying Sandstorm

"3...2...1!"

On the school playground at level 52, Yang Bo, who had just returned from the Arabian desert, jumped into the sandpit again.

The moment you enter the sandpit, the surrounding environment changes immediately.

"Sand dunes, ruins, and air-conditioning golems... it really is a fixed exit."

If the exit location of the Arabian Desert is fixed from the level 52 school level, then the value of the Arabian Desert at level 46 is different.

"Let's make some minor modifications first."

He took a bucket out of his backpack and poured it onto the sand dune at his feet. In an instant, a torrent of clear water flowed down the dune, and the dry sand instantly became wet.

"Holy crap? Water seepage?!"

Sand in Minecraft doesn't seep water, and looking at the clear water constantly gushing out of the water source block, he felt something was about to happen.

'Fine, let it leak, let it leak for two hours. It's not like there'll be a flood in the desert, is it?'

This shows Yang Bo's limited knowledge. In fact, deserts do experience floods, and it's not uncommon.

Although deserts are arid, they can experience short-term, intense floods under certain conditions.

Ignore the issue of water flow.

He took some cacti from Minecraft out of his backpack.

These crops, specifically grown in the desert, should be quite effective at preventing wind erosion and fixing sand dunes, and cacti grow very quickly.

"But this desert is so undulating, it's not as satisfying to look at as a completely flat area... How about we fill in the blocks?"

Looking at the golden sand dunes, even with the chain of mining operations, Yang Bo felt a headache coming on.

'This kind of reckless approach won't work; you'll exhaust yourself and still not get much done. We need to find someone to do the actual work…'

His gaze fell upon the ruins not far away, where he had already cleared a large area, uncovering at least most of the ruins buried under the sand.

'Ask that guy if he'd like to…'

Life in the Arabian desert is tough, but with proper development, it should be quite good.

At this moment, Jaeger, who was hiding in the shade of the ruins, looked at the clear water flowing down the hill in the distance and the green blocks that were gradually appearing, and fell into a state of self-doubt.

'What exactly is he? A special entity?'

He didn't believe that a person could move freely in the desert under temperatures of 70 or 80 degrees Celsius, nor did he believe that someone who could create special 'puppet entities' at will was an ordinary person.

"Jaeger, right?"

Upon entering the ruins and seeing the stunned Russian man, he chuckled and asked, "What are your plans now? Are you going to try to reach other levels to survive, or stay here?"

Jaeger looked at Yang Bo, who had this "I have a good idea" look on his face.

"I...I don't know. I'll die if I stay here, but I'll also die if I leave..."

One is to die of thirst or starvation, and the other is to die of dehydration.

"Obviously, you don't want to die, so why don't you listen to my suggestion?"

Jaeger nodded; he had no other choice.

"Work for me, risk your life for me, and I'll give you immense power and ample supplies, and you'll be responsible for..."

Yang Bo pointed to the surrounding yellow sand: "Help me guard this level and transform it into an oasis city, gathering some wanderers willing to risk their lives for me!"

"Transforming an oasis? I don't know how...shit! Sandstorm!!"

Before Jaeger could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically, and he pointed to the sky behind Yang Bo.

The horizon turned a yellowish-brown, and the clear blue sky seemed to be stained with a layer of murky fog, spreading overhead at a visible speed.

The two gazed at the natural disaster approaching from afar.

Yang Bo's expression remained calm.

"I was just thinking of giving you time to think it over, but it's clear now that you don't have much time left to think about it."

Jaeger: "..."

Sandstorms are terrifying, but the chances of surviving by hiding in these ruins are high. However, what's terrifying isn't just the sandstorms, but also the unique entities found only in the level 42 Arabian Desert.

Sand essence.

"They mainly appear in the entire Level 46 area, with desert dunes, abandoned ruins, and quicksand areas being the most frequent locations, and their numbers surge during sandstorms."

"Sand spirits are naturally derived entities, formed by the condensation of layers of sand and dust, desert resentment and environmental energy. They have no fixed intelligence and are driven by the instinct of wind and sand."

"Their size is not fixed, but most are about the size of an adult, loosely clustered into a humanoid outline, with vague limbs and a head, but no facial features."

"Fine sand constantly slides off the body, leaving faint sand tracks on the ground when walking. The movement is silent and can blend into ordinary yellow sand for camouflage."

"Small sand spirits are only the size of cats and dogs, and they roam in groups. Large individuals can reach two or three meters in height and have a bulky and heavy body."

"When it is sunny and windless, their activity level is extremely low. They mostly lurk deep in the sand dunes, in the crevices of ruins and in the dead corners of accumulated sand, and are in a dormant state, rarely taking the initiative to attack."

Once the wind picks up and a sandstorm occurs, they will collectively awaken and enter a berserk state, increasing in size, strength, and defense.

"They do not feed; they only instinctively drive away or harm intruders."

It will engulf the target in quicksand and sandstorms, burying and abrading them until they lose their ability to move.

In the distance, yellow sand surges and forms walls, rapidly engulfing sand dunes.

What's your decision?

"I…"

Jaeger looked at the young man before him and finally said seriously, "If you can let me live, my life is yours."

"A wise choice. Come on, eat it first."

Yang Bo took out a piece of cake and handed it to Jaeger.

Although becoming a male servant doesn't increase loyalty, it does prevent you from harming him.

In addition, as long as he and the other party are at the same level, he can locate the other party's position.

Even if you can't find them, you can use a secondary account to teleport them directly over.

Betrayal? I'll just teleport them over with my alternate account and kill them permanently with one strike.

Jaeger looked at the sandstorm that would arrive in no more than two or three minutes, took the cake, and swallowed it in a few bites.

After he finished eating, a lot of information came to his mind.

For example… he became a servant, and the young man in front of him was his 'master', along with a magical backpack and the idea of ​​'stealing food'.

"I…"

"Wait, there's this too."

He took the yellow cactus he had brought from his backpack and threw it to Jaeger.

"Sand-sand Fruit"

"If you eat it, you will have the ability to control sand and be immune to physical attacks, but you will be afraid of water. Of course, being afraid of water means that your abilities will be countered by water, but it will not cause you any harm."

There is no place in the back room more suitable for the "Sand-Sand Fruit" than level 46 Arabian Desert, not even comparable to One Piece.

There is no sea stone factor here!

"By the way, this fruit tastes a bit awful; you only need to take one bite."

Jaeger gazed at the peculiar fruit in his hand, this time without any hesitation.

The information that appeared in his mind had proven that the young man who had become his master was very special, extremely special.

Ignoring the sharp thorns on the fruit, he opened his mouth and took a bite.
