Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

The pet care module has been successfully added to the current world.

New minerals and new creatures have been scattered across the world; players are encouraged to explore on their own.

Hearing the continuous system notifications in his mind, Xu Tian immediately opened the module shop on the player system panel, intending to check what kind of pricing the system had given for the two newly added modules.

Soon, the store page refreshed, and two new modules appeared at the top of the list.

Industry 1.0

Price: 100 Gold Coins

[Description: Upon purchase, you will unlock the crafting recipes and user guides for all machines in Industry 1.0...]

[Pet Breeding and Capture Guide]

Price: 100 Gold Coins

[Description: Upon purchase, you will unlock the Pet Ball crafting recipe, Pet Food recipe, and the Pokédex of currently known tamable creatures in the world...]

"One hundred gold coins..."

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the prices listed.

Each module requires 100 gold coins to unlock.

This is no small sum.

Even players who just had a great haul from yesterday's BOSS battle will feel a pang of regret if they want to spend 200 gold coins to unlock both modules at once.

"It seems that the system is about to force the differentiation of modules in the later stages of the game to take effect."

Xu Tian analyzed it to himself.

This pricing strategy is clearly designed to limit players' all-around development.

It's estimated that after a few more large-scale modules like this, players will be able to specialize in one path based on their financial resources and specialization.

Those who choose to buy industrial equipment will become engineers, responsible for automated production in the rear.

Those who choose to buy pets will become animal trainers and so on.

However, Xu Tian didn't care about this.

This specialization actually enhances team cohesion and player interaction in transactions.

What excited him even more was the emergence of Industry 1.0.

This is indeed a pivotal moment that fundamentally changes the entire game world and the way all players fight.

In the past, although players were known as the Fourth Calamity, the penalty mechanism of dropping equipment upon death made them somewhat hesitant and timid when facing powerful enemies. They were afraid of dying and losing the top-tier enchanted equipment they had painstakingly accumulated.

but.

Once industrialization is achieved and automated production lines are established, players will have a continuous and absolute guarantee of their standard equipment.

When equipment is no longer a scarce resource, and when losing items upon death no longer causes significant financial pain, players' mindset will undergo a fundamental change.

Then you will no longer have any fear of death.

At that time, the true terror of the Fourth Scourge will be revealed in this group of players who are reckless, fearless, and even treat death as a quick way to return to town.

Previously, they were afraid of losing equipment, so their tactics were relatively conservative.

Now that their equipment is gone, it's alright. Their true madness is about to be revealed to the world without reservation.

With that in mind, Xu Tian no longer hesitated. He immediately opened the large group chat where all players were present, used his privileges, and @ed everyone.

[The Only One Under Heaven: @All Brothers, the game has been updated, and the new mod has been unlocked and distributed to the mod shop. If you're interested and have enough gold, you can log in and check it out yourself.]

[The Only One in the World: By the way, just a side note, the module called Industry 1.0 is very special and very hardcore. Brothers who like to do research should definitely check it out; you'll be pleasantly surprised.]

As soon as this message came out, the players who were discussing how to build the railway in the group chat instantly went into an uproar.

[Little Blackie: New mod? This game updates like crazy, but Industrial Revolution 1.0? Judging from the name, it's something about the Industrial Revolution?]

[Unique in the World: This can be understood as the automated production of various resources, the doubling of mineral processing capabilities, and specialized machinery that can greatly improve efficiency.]

Upon seeing the words "automated production," the players in the group were green with envy.

At this moment, Fengxue, who had been lurking and observing the group chat, immediately and keenly caught the key information.

[Wind and Snow: Automated production? To what extent can it be produced? What kinds of things can it produce? If so, can magic crystals also be produced automatically?]

The issue of wind and snow is spot on.

Magic crystals are currently the scarcest strategic resource. If this stuff could be automated, our strength would undergo a dramatic transformation.

[The Only One Under Heaven: That depends on your own skills and imagination. Theoretically, as long as you can design a production line using industrial machinery, you might be able to farm any basic resource that this world can produce.]

Chapter 152 Poké Ball

Xu Tian didn't give a definitive answer, because he himself didn't know.

[Wind and Snow: I understand. But compared to cold, impersonal machines, oh right, that pet-raising module... I checked the description in the shop, I think I'll look into that first and see if I can use the items in this module to boost the stats of Little White and the others.]

As the queen of the wolf pack who tamed a large number of wild wolves, Fengxue was naturally more interested in pet modules.

After giving them a brief explanation in the group chat, Xu Tian closed the chat window.

He couldn't wait to experience the charm of the new module for himself.

On a whim, he ran straight into the portal and entered Minecraft.

A flash of white light.

Xu Tian opened his eyes and looked around.

Looking at the familiar spawn point in front of me, it has completely changed.

As more and more players flock in, more and more of their territory is being carved out.

Everyone gathered around the spawn point, and the area became increasingly densely populated.

Gradually, everyone began to feel that even though it was in a game, it was still a home.

If it's still like when the server first opened, with people sleeping under the open sky, it's a bit unsightly.

So, Old Cat and his friends also modified their spawn point, dismantling all their previous matchboxes.

The current situation is that the entire spawn point area has been built up into a huge complex resembling a medieval castle by various smooth stones, bricks, and wooden planks.

Towering watchtowers, wide city walls, and even streets adorned with fluorite.

Although it still uses the blocky mosaic style, the sense of grandeur with its staggered arrangement is already beginning to take shape.

On the city wall, there were even pixelated flags hanging, fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, Xu Tian strolled through the home built by the players themselves, heading towards the outside of the city wall.

His goal is clear: to go out into the wild and see if he can catch a cool pet from the newly added pet module.

He had clearly seen in the detailed description of the system's modules that among the newly added species were strange creatures that could fly.

As he walked out, Xu Tian carefully examined the core capture mechanism of the module, his brows gradually furrowing.

"If you want to catch a pet, you need to make an item similar to a Poké Ball before you can catch it?"

Xu Tian read the instructions carefully.

"Moreover, it's not 100% guaranteed to succeed just by throwing it; you must first find the target pet and then engage in a battle with that pet."

"You have to defeat it in battle, reduce its health to low or weakened state, and then throw a Poké Ball for it to be captured by the Poké Ball."

"The worst part is that if you throw the Poké Ball when you've already lost the battle, or when your Pokémon's HP is still high, the Pokémon will just smash the Poké Ball to pieces. And a Poké Ball isn't cheap..."

Looking at this strangely familiar setting of crippling and capturing pets, Xu Tian felt a headache coming on and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"I just want to get a pet, but they insist on making me get a Poké Ball and make it feel like a ritual."

However, despite his complaints, Xu Tian knew he shouldn't dwell on it too much.

Since that's the rule, we have no choice but to follow it.

So he started looking up the crafting materials for Poké Balls in the guide.

"Let me see, besides the common materials, the core material is something newly added called an Elf Core?"

Xu Tian looked at the blue, square-shaped core in the illustration, with a line of small text below it.

[Pokémon Core: A core containing faint spatial and soul power. It can be obtained with a small chance by defeating certain new creatures, or found in some newly generated ruin chests. Only by possessing this can you craft a Poké Ball.]

"Well, it seems I'll have to try my luck in the wild first, maybe go hunting or exploring."

Xu Tian put away the guide, quickened his pace, and began walking towards the wilderness outside the castle.

He planned to wander around the neighborhood first, collect some basic items needed to make a Poké Ball, and also look for the so-called Poké Core.

Xu Tian walked out of the city gate and wandered aimlessly in the wilderness.

As he was at the edge of an oak forest, hammering away at an open-pit coal mine, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure emerging from the woods in another direction.

The man was holding a sword and looking around; it was Fengxue, who had been chatting in the group not long ago.

Feng Xue had obviously also seen Xu Tian not far away. She quickly walked over, a hint of surprise on her face.

"Brother Tian, ​​what a coincidence, you're out here too?"

Feng Xue sheathed his sword and asked with a smile.

"Are you wandering around here alone, collecting materials to catch a pet?"

Xu Tian stopped what he was doing, put the coal he had dug into his backpack, and nodded.

"Well, I'm planning to get a Poké Ball first, catch a few of the new Pokémon and see how it goes. What about you? Are you also here to find Pokémon Cores?"

Feng Xue nodded and said.

"Yeah, I looked at the modules at the base and found that the materials are quite hard to get. Since we've run into this, how about we go together that day? Two people searching together will be more efficient, and if we encounter any powerful new monsters, we'll have someone to look after us."

Xu Tian nodded happily.

"No problem, let's go together then."

The two then walked together deeper into the oak forest.

As they walked, they kept an eye on their surroundings.
