"That makes sense."

Xu Tian stroked his chin and analyzed.

“If there is competition, it will stimulate their dedication. If all modules are shared by everyone, it will become a communal meal, and they will probably get bored in a few days.”

Looking at the screen full of grayed-out, locked icons in the system store.

Xu Tian seemed to see a group of excellent workers frantically grinding tasks to unlock new modules.

"By the way, System, is this why you asked me to design an in-game currency system before? This module purchase mechanism is essentially used to recycle the currency in players' hands, forming an economic cycle, and ultimately increasing the efficiency of soul energy collection?"

【correct】

[The host issues tasks and rewards players with corresponding currency. Players use this currency to purchase module access or resources. All the currency consumed will be converted into pure energy and returned to the host to maintain server operation and attract new players.]

"A perfect closed loop".

Xu Tian exclaimed in admiration.

"Even capitalists would have to admit they're experts."

Now that the mechanism is clear, let's get down to business.

"So, what's the new task?"

The system panel flickered, and two new lines of text appeared.

[New Mission 1: Temporary Home]

Objective: To travel to the world of Eshilia and establish a simple temporary base.

[Reward: 100 Energy Points]

[New Mission Two: Base Construction]

Objective: To establish a formal main base for Minecraft.

[Reward: 100 Energy Points]

Xu Tian looked at the two tasks and made a decision in his mind.

"Looks like I need to go to that so-called world of Eisheria first. I can take these newbies with me and let them see what 100% realism looks like. They can also be used as material for a promotional video."

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated.

"System, log in to the game."

Unlike Chen Xu and the others who needed to wear helmets, Xu Tian, ​​as the host, simply lay on the bed with his eyes closed, and his consciousness instantly sank.

MC, the spawn point.

Xu Tian felt his vision blur for a moment, and when it cleared again, he was already standing on that familiar blocky continent.

He looked around and saw five Steves with different IDs awkwardly punching tree trunks on the grass not far away.

"Only five?"

Xu Tian felt a little disappointed, but then he thought about it again.

"Forget it, it's a game that suddenly launches in the middle of the night and has no promotion or marketing. It's already good that there are five active players online. Besides, these are all old acquaintances from the group, so they can be considered core seed users."

Since we're going to be in charge of planning, we have to make a big splash.

With a thought, Xu Tian directly invoked the permissions.

A striking golden notice instantly appeared in the center of Chen Xu and the other four people's field of vision.

Chapter 6 The Continent of Eshilia

[Server-wide Announcement: The Server Owner's Ascension to Supremacy Has Arrived]

The group of people who were focused on chopping down the tree were startled and stopped what they were doing, looking towards the spawn point.

A flash of light appeared, and a Steve with the ID "Ascension to the World" appeared out of thin air.

Although its appearance was also that of a blocky person like them, its ID emitted a faint golden light, making it seem out of place.

The chat channel immediately became lively.

[Little Cat: Tianxia, ​​you've arrived? This game's tutorial is so vague! I have to figure out so many things on my own.]

[Little Blackie: By the way, how do I get to that real-world place mentioned on the official website?]

Upon seeing their inquiries, Xu Tian did not type a reply in the chat box.

Since he is a god in this world, an official NPC, he must have the prestige of an NPC.

Although the player does not currently have a voice module, that does not mean he is without one.

Xu Tian cleared his throat, and his voice, through system permissions, rang directly in the ears of the five people, carrying a solemn echo.

"Dear people, welcome to this world."

The sudden sound startled the group of people who were typing.

Xu Tian continued in that aria-like tone.

"This place is wonderful, this will be our home from now on, but yesterday when I was resting, I suddenly felt an unusual spacetime fluctuation."

He slowly raised his blocky arm and pointed it into the distant void.

"That is the call of another world. Now, please follow me and set foot on that unknown land."

The chat channel was silent for a second, then it was flooded with messages.

[Completely bewildered: Holy crap? This... this is NPC storyline?]

[Niu Niu: The voice is definitely Tianxia's, but his tone... it sounds like his account was hacked? Or is his company using his voice acting?]

[Little Cat: The World still has voice acting? It must be the story mode, right? He said he'd take us to another world]

[Life is like the first encounter: Who cares, let's go, let's go see, the world used to be said to be 100% real]

Although the group joked around, their actions betrayed their words. While chatting, they manipulated Steve to gather around Xu Tian.

Once all five people had arrived, Xu Tian said no more.

He pressed his hands together lightly, communicating with the system through his thoughts.

Suddenly, the space in front of them rippled like the surface of water, and then a purple light tore through the air of the blocky world.

An ancient portal, radiating particle effects, appeared out of thin air.

But this isn't the obsidian door from Minecraft; it's more like a vortex from a spacetime rift.

The five people watched this scene and instinctively held their breath.

Xu Tian turned around, looked at the five fledgling Fourth Calamities, and said in a deep voice.

"Follow my people, let us conquer that world together."

Without hesitation, he stepped directly into the purple vortex, and his figure vanished instantly.

The remaining five people exchanged glances.

[Kitten: Brothers, charge!]

[Little Blackie: For the sea of ​​flowers, let's go!]

Five cube-shaped figures rushed toward the teleportation portal in a frenzy.

His vision blurred for only a moment, and then a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Skin module loaded]

[Host detected entering the real world for the first time. Please customize your character's appearance.]

Xu Tian looked at the semi-transparent interface that appeared in front of him, somewhat surprised.

The screen no longer showed the boxy Steve, but a basic model with normal human proportions.

"Pinching faces? That's not bad."

Xu Tian was making plans in his mind.

"Although I'm still playing the role of an NPC now, if I want to play it myself in the future, I can't just have a blocky head, can I? It's obvious that I am the official."

With this in mind, he made a slight movement and began to adjust the model.

As a seasoned looks-obsessed person, he didn't hesitate to use his own face shape to maximize his handsomeness.

"Done."

As the character creation was completed, the surrounding white light quickly faded away.

Loading the dimension of Eshilia...

The next second, Xu Tian felt his feet become solid, and a moist air carrying the fresh scent of grass and trees rushed towards him.

He slowly opened his eyes and was so shocked by the sight before him that he stopped breathing.

This is a dense primeval forest.

The sunlight overhead was no longer a white square, but a golden, real ray of light, filtering through the gaps in the layers of leaves.

The distant birdsong was crisp and melodious, and you could even hear the rustling of the wind blowing through the treetops.

"This feeling, this atmosphere... it's even more real than reality."

Xu Tian looked down at his body, which was still the familiar blocky Steve figure.

Just then, the vortex behind them rippled again, and several figures emerged one after another.

Four men and one woman.

They are no longer the blocky characters from the Minecraft world, but have become real humans with flesh and blood, wearing matching blue T-shirts.

This is the effect after the skin mod is loaded. In the other world, players will appear with a realistic appearance.

Chen Xu was the first to come out. As soon as he landed, before he could even see his teammates clearly, his eyes were drawn to the surrounding scenery.

"Holy crap..."

He blurted out a curse word without thinking, his voice trembling with excitement.

"This is so realistic! The lighting, the texture of the tree bark... Is this really a game that humans could make?"
