Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Just over ten minutes ago, he was in that hall, speaking in the most calm tone, outlining a terrifying blueprint to Xu Tian and the supreme commander of the Chinese military, a blueprint to completely annihilate and assimilate trillions of innocent alien lives in the surrounding star systems.

At that moment, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was such a bright and peaceful world on Earth.

Here, there are no antimatter cannons, no void behemoths capable of tearing an entire planet apart. People are still busy with work, arguing about what to eat for lunch, and children are carefree preparing for their upcoming final exams.

The immense sense of rift between the brutal extinction of the macrocosm and the gentleness of the microcosm struck Yang Feng hard, causing his breathing to quicken.

"Dong dong dong".

Just as Yang Feng was standing by the window, lost in thought, a series of urgent knocks on the door suddenly rang out without warning, instantly pulling him back to reality.

Outside the door, a young and energetic voice came out in a carefree manner.

"Brother, brother, come out and eat! Mom made your favorite braised pork and steamed sea bass today. Hurry up and stop spending all your time playing games."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the coldness and profundity on Yang Feng's face vanished in an instant, replaced by a faint smile.

The person calling from outside the door was none other than his younger brother, Yang Ming.

Yang Ming is the vice president of the Chou Shen Guild, and his ID is Dian Feng.

In the game, he is a vice president who wields a big sword and charges into battle behind his brother. But in reality, he is just a college graduate who is full of youthful passion and a touch of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).

"Okay, I'm coming."

Yang Feng responded to the doorway, casually pulled a loose-fitting home T-shirt over his shoulders, then reached out and opened the bedroom door, stepping towards the dining room outside.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, a rich aroma of food wafted towards me.

In the cozy restaurant, four dishes and a soup were already laid out on a solid wood round table, steaming hot.

Yang Ming was slumped in a chair, completely unladylike, scrolling through game forums on his phone. As soon as he saw Yang Feng come out, his eyes lit up and he straightened up.

Chapter 473 Goodwill

"Brother, you've finally come out."

Yang Ming eagerly pulled out the chair next to him, gesturing for Yang Feng to sit down. Then, unable to contain his curiosity, he lowered his voice and said...

"Bro, when I logged off to rest just now, I casually checked the official forum, and holy crap, the entire forum is completely in an uproar."

"The official announcement of a major server-wide update is so domineering it's unreasonable. They're even banning ender chests from ordinary players and sealing off large galaxy clusters in the surrounding area."

Yang Mingming stared intently at Yang Feng, his expression filled with a deep sense of inquiry.

"Moreover, I heard from several brothers in the guild who were keeping watch on the front lines that shortly before the announcement was released, someone saw several figures from behind outside the Zhutian Guild."

"It looks like you're in there, brother, and also that mysterious Dragon Soul Guild Master from the Huaxia Guild... Brother, did you personally go to the headquarters of the Zhutian Guild today?"

"What earth-shattering event is going to happen that you top-tier leaders of the entire server have suddenly gathered together?"

Yang Feng's expression remained unchanged in the face of his younger brother's barrage of questions.

He slowly pulled out a chair and sat down, casually picked up the rice in front of him, picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fatty but not greasy braised pork into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Yang Feng turned his head and looked at Yang Ming, who was looking anxious. He then gave a calm and inscrutable smile and said in a casual tone.

"Alright, put away your vivid imagination. What could be so big of a deal? It's just that the game has reached a certain stage, and the developers feel that the development speed and resource monopoly of our top guilds are getting a bit out of control. So they specifically summoned the leaders of our guilds to discuss the balance issues for future versions."

Yang Feng picked up a soup spoon and ladled himself a bowl of soup, then continued to explain, addressing Yang Ming's questions.

"The next thing, the Void Contamination Forbidden Zone, is a main epic storyline that the official team is preparing to promote, involving the entire server."

"To prevent ordinary casual players and small guilds from rushing in with their warships to their deaths without warning, causing a meaningless and precipitous drop in the overall combat power of the entire server, the official team reached a secret agreement with our five major guilds, allowing us to join forces and temporarily lock down the large star clusters surrounding that dangerous area."

"Once this major update event is completely over and the mechanics of the Void Monsters are figured out, those areas will naturally be reopened. There's no need to make a fuss about it."

"Ah? I see..."

After listening to Yang Feng's seemingly flawless and logically consistent explanation, Yang Ming scratched the back of his head in disappointment, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"No wonder the official major update announcement specifically mentioned that our five major guilds must jointly carry out the Star Blockade, and even allocated all the bandwidth of the Ender Chest to us."

"So this is the result of a discussion you big shots had at the round table beforehand. I thought it was some kind of cross-era civilization war going to happen in the game. I got excited for nothing."

Just as the two brothers were sitting at the dining table talking, the sliding door to the kitchen was slowly opened, and a kind-faced middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out carrying the last plate of stir-fried vegetables.

This is the two brothers' mother, Yang's mother.

As Yang's mother watched the two of them huddled together talking about games, a somewhat helpless yet extremely kind smile appeared on her face.

She stepped forward and skillfully placed a large piece of braised pork and a tender piece of sea bass belly into each of her two sons' bowls. Then, with a hint of reproach but also deep concern, she interrupted them.

"Alright, alright, the two of you only talk about games and guilds when you meet. Can't you talk about something more serious in real life?"

"Mingzi, you just graduated from university and you're always fighting and killing in that online game with your brother. You need to take care of your health. And Afeng, stop sitting in that chair all day. Come on, stop talking about the game and eat while it's hot. Try the braised pork that Mom made today and see if it's flavorful."

"Okay, Mom's cooking is absolutely the best in the world, I guarantee we'll eat it all."

As soon as Yang Ming saw his mother come out, he immediately dropped his previous seriousness and put on a somewhat ingratiating, sunny smile. He picked up his chopsticks and began to devour the food on the table.

Yang Feng smiled and nodded at his mother, without saying anything more.

The two brothers maintained a warm and tacit silence at the dining table, quietly enjoying the lunch prepared by their mother.

Yang's mother sat to the side, watching her two sons eat with relish, her heart filled with immense joy and pride.

She never objected to her two sons spending all their time playing games; in fact, she was very supportive.

Yang Feng streams his games online every day.

Although his tactical style was too dark and his methods too ruthless, causing countless players to frantically call for his birth in the live chat, his skills and the entertainment value of the show were undeniably top-notch.

Every day, the gifts sent by fans and haters who come to watch the live stream, as well as the signing fees from various sponsors, amount to several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan in real currency.

Yang Feng's hard work in the game alone has enabled him to buy this large house for his whole family in the heart of Shanghai, where land is incredibly valuable.

Now, the two brothers are jointly leading one of the top five guilds in the game. In the eyes of their real-life neighbors, they are the epitome of bringing honor to their ancestors and being young and promising.

However, what Yang's mother and Yang Ming could never have imagined was...

At this very moment, Yang Feng, sitting at the dining table quietly eating braised pork like an ordinary young man, is hiding a grand secret beneath his calm face that could overturn the fate of the entire Earth.

The versions of balance and large-scale events he just told his brother were nothing but a huge, well-intentioned, deceptive lie.

There were no version updates or monster mechanic balancing.

Above us all, a super alien star destroyer fleet, its fuse already pulled, hangs in the air, ready to annihilate humanity on Earth at any moment.

After finishing his meal, Yang Feng put down his bowl and casually pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

I don't know why, but looking at the warm sunlight in the restaurant, watching my mother's busy washing dishes in the kitchen, and then at Yang Ming picking his teeth and sitting on the sofa watching TV in a lazy manner, I felt a strange urge to stay awake.

Chapter 474 is a bit of a contrast.

Yang Feng felt as if an extremely heavy boulder was pressing on his chest, and a strong sense of suffocation and loneliness surged into his heart like a tide.

He needs to go out and see for himself the real world he is protecting with his sins.

"Mom, I'm full. The sun is nice outside. I'm going out for a walk to get some exercise."

Yang Feng stood up, turned around and called out to his mother in the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming, who was leaning back on the sofa scrolling through his phone, immediately jumped up and shouted excitedly.

"Hey? Bro, you're going out? Perfect timing, I'm getting all sore from staying home all the time, I'll come with you, we can grab an iced Americano from the drink shop outside the complex and chat about the fleet route deployment after we log in..."

However, Yang Feng simply turned his head slightly, looked at his eager younger brother, waved his hand lightly, and spoke calmly.

"Fine, you stay home and keep Mom company. I want to be alone for a while, just take a walk, I don't need anyone with me."

After saying that, Yang Feng didn't even give Yang Ming a chance to refute him. He changed into sneakers, grabbed the keys, pushed open the door, and walked out.

With a crisp click as the security door closed, the laughter and chatter inside the house were instantly shut out.

Seeing Yang Feng leave alone like this, which was unusual, Yang Ming, who was standing in the living room, and Yang's mother, who had just come out of the kitchen, exchanged a glance, their eyes both revealing deep doubt and worry.

Yang's mother wiped the water off her hands with some unease, walked to the sofa, looked in the direction Yang Feng had left, and said to her youngest son with a slight frown.

"Mingzi, don't you think your brother seems unusually heavy-hearted today?"

"Although he is usually quiet and reserved at home, I felt that there was something very important on his mind while we were eating this meal today."

"His calm demeanor seemed too unusual; it wasn't like him at all."

Yang Ming also put away his playful smile and his expression became somewhat serious.

He recalled the rumors he had seen online that day, and the overly calm look in his brother's eyes when he mentioned the core meeting of the All Heavens Guild, and began to have doubts.

"Mom, I noticed it too. After my brother attended that meeting in the game today, he came back looking like this."

"What exactly happened in the meeting room? He absolutely refuses to tell me a single word. Mom, do you think my brother encountered some insurmountable obstacle in the game, or that he was targeted by the leaders of several other super guilds because of a dispute over profit distribution, and suffered a great injustice?"

Upon hearing Yang Ming's analysis, Yang's mother's heart clenched.

Although she didn't understand games or guilds, she knew that her eldest son was always strong-willed and would bear all his hardships alone, never showing any sign of them at home.

The thought of her eldest son possibly enduring immense pressure and grievances alone outside made Yang's mother unable to sit still any longer.

She patted Yang Ming's shoulder anxiously and said in a pleading tone.

“Mingzi, I feel uneasy and a bit uneasy. Why don’t you quietly put on your heels and go out to check on your brother? See where he has gone.”

"If he's in a bad mood and something happens to him outside, or if he's drinking alone, having you, his younger brother, by his side to talk to him will at least make him feel a little better."

Yang Ming hesitated for a moment, scratched his head, and said with some difficulty.

"Mom, is this going to work? You know how temperamental my brother is. He said he wanted to be alone for a while. If he gets really stubborn, and I secretly follow him like this and he finds out, who knows what he'll say to me when he gets back."

"Besides, my brother is a grown man, he definitely won't get into any trouble."

However, Yang's mother's eyes were still filled with persistence and unwavering maternal love. She stared intently at Yang Ming, her tone becoming somewhat harsh.

“Just go when I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense. He’s your own brother. He’s risked his life for this family. He’s in a bad mood right now. What’s wrong with you, as his younger brother, going along to check on him? If he comes back and dares to yell at you, Mom will back you up. Go now.”

"Okay, okay, Mom, don't worry, I'll go right now, I'll go right now, alright?"

Faced with his mother's inviolable command, Yang Ming had no choice but to surrender.

He sighed helplessly, quickly changed into his sneakers, opened the door, and quietly slipped out, taking the elevator down and hanging far behind Yang Feng.

……

At this moment, Yang Feng was unaware that his younger brother was following him from a distance.
