Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"War, dimensional invasion..."

Chen Xu swallowed.

"That sounds exciting. Okay, let's not worry about the details. Let's build the wall first. Thickness is justice."

If we can't pursue refinement, then let's pursue grandeur.

The group stopped arguing and began frantically piling up round stones.

For the sake of security, they forcibly increased the original three-layered city wall to nine layers.

The thickness was a full nine meters, almost like a small dam lying across the edge of the forest.

Another four hours of intense labor.

As the last capping stone fell, a pleasant notification sound finally rang in Xu Tian's mind.

[Congratulations, host, the mission base construction (Aishilia) is complete.]

[Reward: 100 Energy Points]

At the same time, a golden results panel popped up in front of all the players who were exhausted to the point of collapse.

[Task Completed]

[Rewards have been distributed]

"Finally, it's over..."

Chen Xu plopped down on the grass.

Everyone eagerly opened their backpacks to check their gold coin balance.

Yang Qinyu (Xiao Heihei): 21 gold coins.

Niu Niu: 24 gold coins.

Life is like the first time we met, Xi Xi: 22 gold coins.

The group of people smiled with relief; they had finally bought the 20-gold-coin module.

However, some people share a common sorrow.

Chapter 14 This is too much

Chen Xu (Little Cat): 18 gold coins.

Completely lost: 18 gold coins.

The two stared at the awkward number and fell into a deathly silence.

"no……"

"I will never cut down trees again!"

After saying that, Chen Xu looked up and stared at Xu Tian with a blank expression.

"Tianxia, ​​is there something wrong with the system? Why didn't you allocate any gold coins to yourself?"

Xu Tian shrugged, thinking to himself.

"I'm an official, I don't need to buy mods, why would I need gold coins?"

He then said with a magnanimous expression.

"No need, I'm just here to test it out. You can keep the gold coins."

Yang Qinyu looked at the two unlucky guys and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but was immediately interrupted by the overwhelming drowsiness.

"I can't take it anymore, I really can't hold on any longer."

She yawned in the voice message, her voice weak.

"I stayed up all night and worked all morning. My brain feels numb. I'm logging off now to catch up on some sleep. You guys can work on the module stuff. I'll come back online tonight."

"I'm leaving too."

Niu Niu also looked exhausted.

"This game is too hardcore, it's like being treated like a beast of burden, I'm outta here."

Although Chen Xu and Liu Shenwu were unwilling, they had indeed reached their physical limits.

"Forget it, I'm logging off too. This stupid game, I'll grind for those two coins again after I wake up."

The real world.

Yang Qinyu took off the heavy helmet and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She stood up with some difficulty, shook her dizzy head, walked to the French windows, and drew back the curtains.

The afternoon sun was a bit too bright.

"call".

The moment she took off her helmet, the jarring feeling of returning from another world to reality left her in a daze for a long time.

"This is absolutely a groundbreaking game."

She murmured to herself.

"No competing product on the market can beat it. This is not only a technological crushing, but also a dimensional attack."

As a designer, she has a keen business sense.

"Once this game goes into open beta, it will definitely be a global sensation. Can I use this advantage of being ahead of the curve to do something?"

She looked out at the city, her eyes gradually brightening.

"A video blogger? Specializing in architectural design tutorials for this game? Or a documentary about exploring other worlds?"

"My major is architecture. If we can recreate those wonders in the game, or design a fortress that is both practical and beautiful, it would be a huge opportunity."

Filled with endless daydreams about the future, she turned and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

In the game, as most people logged off, the once bustling base instantly became deserted.

Xu Tian glanced at the two who were still gesturing at the air, and thought, "Life is like our first meeting" and "Xi Xi."

"First meeting, Lao Xi, aren't you going to sleep?"

Xu Tian was somewhat surprised.

"You've been online for over ten hours straight, can your body handle it?"

"Life is like the first time we met," he waved goodbye.

"It's alright, I'm young and healthy. I'll go buy that module and figure out how to use it first."

Xi Xi nodded in agreement.

"This game is very interesting, I want to explore it a little longer."

"Okay, you guys have fun. I'm logging off now to grab something to eat."

Xu Tian bid farewell to the two true cultivators and chose to exit the game.

As consciousness returned to reality, my stomach immediately began to rumble in protest.

Xu Tian tidied up quickly and went downstairs to find something to eat.

Walking down the somewhat noisy street, his mind was far from idle.

"system".

He silently recited it in his heart.

"They all bought mods. How many of those recycled gold coins could be exchanged for a new player slot?"

[Answer to host: The current exchange rate is 30 gold coins to 1 soul]

"Currently?"

Xu Tian keenly grasped this word.

"Does that mean the price will go up again?"

【Yes】

As the number of players increases in the later stages, the total amount of gold in the game will surge, resulting in inflation. In order to maintain energy conservation, the exchange price will be dynamically adjusted upwards.

Furthermore, as the player base expands, the costs of maintaining server operations and patching world bugs will also increase accordingly.

After hearing this, Xu Tian couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his mind.

"That's really outrageous; they even factored in inflation."

But complaints aside, as long as it brings in more people to work for him, he'll gladly accept the increased fees.

After thinking for a while, Xu Tian realized that the capitalist seemed to be himself, but no, he was more like the middleman.

"Looks like we need to find a way to get them to earn more gold coins quickly, otherwise how long will it take for these hardcore players to save up 30 gold coins per person?"

As Xu Tian pondered his new plan to fleece people, he walked into a noodle shop.

In the newly built, simple homestead on the MC continent.

With most players logging off, the place felt rather empty.

Only two energetic cultivators, 【人生如初见】 and 【习习】, remained standing in the same spot.

The two exchanged a glance and almost simultaneously opened the mod shop, pressing the buy button firmly under the expensive "Artisan Craftsmanship" icon.

"Ding".

The crisp sound of gold coins being deducted rang out.

Their once-fairly-off wallets shrank instantly, leaving them with only a single gold coin.

Purchase successful. The module has been loaded into your personal account.

As soon as the notification sound ended, the two immediately looked up and around.

The blocks are still the same blocks, the sun is still the same sun, and not a single blade of grass has grown on the grass at my feet.

"Forehead……"
