Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

What bug? It's simply because the account owner was still asleep, so the clone wasn't responding.

He quickly typed a reply in the chat box.

[The Only One in the World: Yes, I was just testing the voice module code in the background and didn't check my phone messages.]

He replied almost instantly.

[Little Blackie: Okay, since you're here, things will be easier. I've designed two sets of blueprints, one for the MC Home and one for the Eshilia Outpost. They've both been submitted through the NPC. Take a look.]

[The Only One Under Heaven: Okay, I'll go up and review it now]

Meanwhile, in a simply decorated upscale apartment.

Yang Qinyu was lazily nestled in the soft fabric sofa, wearing the futuristic dark blue helmet on her head, with a few strands of long hair sliding down the backrest and scattered messily on the sofa.

On the coffee table in front of her, dozens of A4 sheets of paper were scattered about, covered with sketches of various architectural structures and line drawings of spatial layouts.

This is the result of working through the night.

It wasn't until 5 a.m. that she finally finalized the plan.

As a perfectionist, she considered not only the functionality of the game but also its aesthetic design.

Xu Tian logged back into the game, and his consciousness directly descended into the NPC clone named "Conquering the World".

As soon as I logged in, the backpack notification bar started flashing.

He opened it and saw two scroll-shaped items lying quietly inside.

[Item: Homestead Blueprint (MC Edition)]

[Item: Outpost Blueprint (Aisheria Edition)]

Xu Tian unfolded the first document.

This is a very detailed planning map.

It not only divided the area into residential, storage, and agricultural zones, but also designed a ring of walls and watchtowers with firing ports.

The architectural style is practical yet aesthetically pleasing, making full use of the characteristics of Minecraft blocks.

Let's look at the second one, the Asheria version of the outpost.

This is a small stone fortress.

Taking into account the defense requirements of the actual physical environment there, Yang Qinyu specially thickened the walls and designed an entrance structure similar to a barbican, making it watertight.

"That's professional."

Xu Tian exclaimed in admiration.

"That's the benefit of finding the right person; it saved me so many brain cells."

Since the drawings are fine, it's time to proceed with the formalities.

"System, calculate the total amount of building materials required based on these two blueprints, and then send them to begin the construction task."

[Scanning the structural drawings...]

[Calculation complete. The player's existing resources in the warehouse and inventory have been detected to meet the requirements for the first phase of construction.]

[Should the resource collection task be settled?]

Xu Tian nodded.

"Settle the accounts and tell them to stop digging. The important thing is to get the house built quickly."

Deep in the forest.

Chen Xu was wielding that stone axe, which he had probably replaced 100 times, as he was about to execute a huge birch tree.

The terrain here is very different from when he first arrived.

What was once a chaotic primeval forest has now been transformed into a neat and orderly man-made forest.

Suddenly, a golden light exploded in the center of his vision.

Chapter 12 Craftsmanship

[Server-wide Announcement: Resource Reserve Phase Has Ended]

[All players, please submit any remaining resources and settle your rewards.]

"Huh? It's over?"

Chen Xu stopped what he was doing.

"Finally, we don't have to cut down trees anymore..."

He opened the task panel and selected "Submit and Settle".

As the mountain of wood disappeared from the backpack, a crisp sound of gold coins being put into a bag rang out.

[Settlement complete. Received 1 gold coin. Current balance: 8 gold coins]

Meanwhile, the voice channel also became lively.

"I've settled my account too."

A voice filled with confusion and bewilderment came through.

"We've been hacking away all night, and we only got 8 gold coins? That's incredibly stingy!"

How many of you are there?

Chen Xu asked.

Niu Niu, who was digging stones over there, chuckled.

"Sorry guys, I just settled things with Hei Zi and I have 12 gold coins now. It seems like the other side of 'Life is Like the First Meeting' also has 12."

"what?!"

Chen Xu stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"Why should we get 8 trees? We have to cut down trees, run around everywhere, and plant saplings. We work ourselves to the bone for just 8? You can just find a hole and dig straight down and get 12?"

He complained loudly in the voice message.

"Damn, if I had known that mining stones would be so lucrative and so fast, I would have been out of my mind to become a lumberjack."

Niu Niu added insult to injury.

"Indeed, the cost of logging is too high. As for rocks, you can just find a spot and dig straight down, and you'll find all the resources. You don't need to think at all. Even if you set up a forest farm, it will take time for the trees to grow."

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been relatively silent spoke up.

"Now that the mission is complete, does that mean we can start the construction phase? After all, we've collected so many materials just to build a home."

Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their agreement.

"It should be."

Yang Qinyu's voice carried a hint of anticipation.

"I've approved the blueprints. Now it's time for us to get started. Everyone, head back to your starting point and get to work."

Chen Xu sighed, put away his axe, and exchanged a glance with Liu Shenwuzhu.

"Let's go, Lao Liu, let's go back and build a house. I never want to be a lumberjack again."

He gave a bitter laugh, feeling utterly lost.

"Let's go, let's go, I hope the reward for building a house will be more generous."

Six figures began to converge on the spawn point from various corners of the map.

Xu Tian listened to Chen Xu and the others complaining about the imbalance between the profits from timber and stone in the voice channel, and nodded to himself.

"It was indeed an oversight."

He made a mental note of it.

"At the time, we only considered the quantity and didn't take into account the time cost of collection and the distance to travel around the map. Next time we issue a task, we need to appropriately increase the gold coins according to the collection speed and difficulty. Otherwise, who would want to be a lumberjack? If everyone goes to dig for stones, will all the houses be built of stone in the future?"

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Xu Tian controlled the [Conquer the World] NPC and led the six players to a high mountain near the spawn point.

There is a small river flowing in front of us, and the view is wide open; it is a place with excellent feng shui.

Xu Tian cleared his throat and spoke in that authoritative NPC tone.

“My dear people, you have proven your diligence. This is our future home. Now, let us level this land and let our civilization take root here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a new task pop-up appeared in front of everyone.

[Task: Level the land]

Objective: To level the high ground within the designated area and fill in the low-lying areas to create a flat surface.

Reward: 30 gold coins (distributed based on each player's contribution).

Looking at the task panel, everyone quickly did some mental calculations.

"30 for flat ground, plus 20 for the previously mentioned construction task, for a total prize pool of 50 gold coins."

"If it's divided among six people, each person can get quite a lot on average."

The group exchanged glances. Although they had all been playing all night and their eyelids were drooping, no one said no to the blatant temptation of gold coins.

"Let's begin then."

Chen Xu sighed and took out a stone shovel from his backpack.

"I think I won't be able to keep playing for much longer. Staying up all night is really bad for my health."

Yang Qinyu rubbed her throbbing temples, her voice tinged with fatigue.

"Indeed, I'm exhausted after drawing all night, but this is just a small base. If everyone works together, we can finish it in a few hours."

Just do it.

Six Steves instantly transformed into bulldozers, shovels flying and dirt flying everywhere.

Just then, the system notification sounded again.
