Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

With that thought in mind, Xu Tian logged off and went to sleep peacefully.

Tomorrow is destined to be a busy and fulfilling day.

In the real world, it's early morning.

After a whole night of fermentation, coupled with Lu Chen's 10,000 yuan of targeted traffic, Niu Qingyang's video completely exploded on the Douyin platform.

Views: 120+

Likes: 8.5

Comments: 2.3

When Niu Qingyang groggily opened his eyes and habitually reached for his phone to check the group messages, he was startled by the eye-catching 99+ red bubble on Douyin.

"Holy crap? What's going on?"

He instantly snapped out of it, checked his account, and saw that his follower count had increased by more than 10,000 overnight.

The comments section of that video was even more lively.

Holy crap! This is incredible graphics! The lighting and shadow effects are absolutely amazing!

Who are these people? The men are handsome and the women are beautiful; isn't this some kind of film crew shooting an idol drama?

I need the name of the game and all the information about it within three minutes.

Niu Qingyang looked at the comment praising his good looks, smoothed his hair in front of his phone screen, and felt secretly pleased.

"Of course it's cool! Everyone spent hours creating this character, how could it not be handsome? Who would play a game with an ugly face?"

He typed a reply with lightning speed.

[Niu Niu Da Niu Niu Hen Niu: Thank you for your attention. This is a niche game that is still in closed beta, and we are just the first lucky players.]

However, such realistic scenes have naturally attracted a lot of criticism.

[Fun: Haha, a beta game?]

Do I look like an idiot to you?

What game engine can achieve this level of physical interaction and lighting? Even Unreal Engine 6 wouldn't dare to boast like this.

Niu Qingyang frowned and replied.

[Niu Niu Da Niu Niu Hen Niu: This is a first-person, unedited recording.]

[Funny: LOL, I've played so many AAA games and never seen such detail before. This is obviously just a video shot in real life with some UI filters added, used to attract traffic and promote products, right?]

[Funny: My friend is the CTO of a big company, and he could tell at a glance that this picture was photoshopped.]

Since you say it's true, send me the installation package so I can test it.

【NiuNiuDaNiuNiuHenNiu: @FunDo I look like an idiot?】

The onlookers below were amused.

[Mingyue: @Fun, too bad bro, you got greedy this time. You should have asked Gala for the installation package first.]

Chapter 41 Craftsmanship & Enchantment

Seeing the comments section gradually turn into a battle of wits, Niu Qingyang got tired of trying to outwit these people anymore.

He finally posted a pinned comment.

【NiuNiuDaNiuNiuHenNiu: Just a regular player, not responsible for distributing slots or providing installation packages, will only share daily gameplay updates】

After sending the message, he threw his phone aside, put on his helmet, and continued logging in.

On the other side, after finishing breakfast, Xu Tian also checked the video data.

He nodded in satisfaction as he watched the ever-increasing popularity and the heated arguments in the comments section.

He then entered the game.

With a flash of light, Xu Tian appeared in his territory.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically. The once barren territory was now half covered with neat stone brick floors, and half of the houses had been built.

Clearly, this is Yang Qinyu's achievement.

He turned his head and looked around.

Most players' territories still consist of classic matchbox-style buildings—square wooden houses, designed primarily for those who simply want a place to live.

But among these rough-hewn buildings, one house stands out from the crowd.

That was Yang Qinyu's home.

This is a typical Japanese-style villa, constructed entirely with delicate pink cherry blossom wood panels.

Two blooming pink cherry blossom trees were carefully transplanted in front of the house, their petals falling gracefully to separate the house from the outside world.

Through the windows, you can see that the interior layout is also well-organized and full of a warm and cozy atmosphere.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder he graduated with a design degree."

Xu Tian exclaimed in admiration.

"This aesthetic sense really blows us away."

Not far away, the house in the snow was also under construction.

However, the progress is obviously much slower, and the style is also imitating Yang Qinyu, probably because Yang Qinyu's tutorial has not been fully released yet, so they can only ask questions and build as they go.

After looking around, Xu Tian opened the group chat and issued today's combat orders.

[The Only One Under Heaven: Everyone, let's hurry up and develop our character this morning, get our equipment and enchantments ready, and meet at 12 noon sharp. Objective: Slay the Dragon]

[Little Blackie: Received, the house is just finished]

[Morning: Hmm, I'm almost there too]

Seeing everyone's response, Xu Tian stopped interfering.

He returned to his warehouse, retrieved the Ender Pearl he had traded with the Piglins for gold ingots in the Nether, and also took out Blaze Powder.

The two are combined.

[Obtained: 16 Ender Eyes]

"The equipment is complete, and the supplies are sufficient."

Xu Tian looked at the white warhorse that he had tethered in his territory.

"Let's go explore the continent of Eshilia one more time before we gather."

He mounted his horse and galloped off toward the teleportation portal.

Since everyone is busy with final preparations, he can take the opportunity to go over there and relax, while waiting for the newbies to fully develop.

On the continent of Eshilia, the first light of dawn breaks.

Xu Tian rode his white horse through the portal without stopping at the bustling outpost.

He saw Old Cat leading several people, fully armed, heading deeper into the forest, seemingly doing their final pre-battle warm-up.

Xu Tian didn't disturb them. Instead, he spurred his horse and galloped straight in the opposite direction towards that unexplored area.

Meanwhile, in MC continent.

Yang Qinyu brought various kinds of timber and stone bricks she had taken from the warehouse to Xu Tian's territory.

She adjusted the recording angle and began to set up and explain at the same time, putting her heart and soul into the design fee of 5 gold coins.

Not far away, Fengxue also came online, secretly watching Yang Qinyu's actions while clumsily adding bricks and tiles to his own house.

Let's turn our attention back to Xu Tian.

His warhorse lived up to its reputation as a divine steed with high favorability ratings, traversing the rugged mountain forests as if it were flat ground.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding trees gradually thinned out, and the view suddenly opened up.

Ahead was a precipice.

Xu Tian reined in his horse and stood still, looking down from his vantage point.

Below the cliff lies a vast plain. A gentle breeze blows, and waist-high wild grass undulates like waves, creating a magnificent yet desolate scene.

"A good place".

Xu Tian exclaimed in admiration, then spurred his horse and charged down the gentle slope beside him.

A man and a horse gallop freely across the plains, enjoying this moment of tranquility and freedom.

until

At the foot of a secluded mountain wall, Xu Tian discovered the entrance to a deep cave. Even in the daytime, he could vaguely see faint, shimmering blue light emanating from the depths of the cave.

"That is……"

Xu Tian's heart stirred.

He dismounted and first tied the horse to a dead tree next to the cave entrance. After thinking for a moment, he realized that although he was immune to falling upon death, if he really died, the horse would probably be gone too.

So he removed the diamond horse armor from the horse and put it into his backpack.

"Old buddy, just stay here and eat grass. Don't wander off. The situation inside is unknown. If I lose you, I'll have no one to cry to."

After settling his warhorse, Xu Tian gripped his spear tightly and cautiously entered the cave.

The cave was cold and damp, and a strange energy fluctuation permeated the air.

The further in he went, the more dazzling the blue light became. Soon, Xu Tian saw the true nature of the light source.

They were crystals growing on the rock face, deep blue in color, radiating a soft and mysterious glow, as if they contained some kind of pure magic.

Xu Tian stepped forward and tentatively touched it with his hand.

The system notification sounded instantly in his mind.

[High-energy substance detected: Tier 1 magic crystal]

Immediately afterwards, a new task panel popped up.

[New Quest Triggered: Energy Recovery]
