Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Immediately afterwards, the others also came to their senses, and the channel exploded with messages.

[Little Blackie: Holy crap! This game is amazing! Unbeatable graphics, plus that hardcore gameplay in the beginner's area alone, if this game doesn't become popular, I'll jump off a building!]

Yang Qinyu controlled the tall female character named Xiao Heihei, who spun around twice in place, her long hair flowing naturally with the movement, without any clipping.

[Little Blackie: Can I touch these? I'll go try them out]

She walked quickly to a huge ancient tree next to her and raised her hand.

No longer a square hand, but a slender, fair palm, she tentatively placed her hand on the rough bark and gently stroked it.

"It feels real...it's so real, exactly like a real arm."

Yang Qinyu muttered to herself.

Then, her eyes narrowed, and she slammed her fist into the tree trunk.

"boom!"

The tree trunk swayed slightly, and a few leaves slowly drifted down.

"There is no pain, but there is resistance feedback."

She typed rapidly in the channel.

[It seems that's how the mechanism works; it's both realistic and hides the pain—perfect!]

[Six Gods Lost: Awesome! This game is truly invincible! Blackie, I support you! If this game doesn't become popular, I'll jump off a building with you!]

[Niu Niu: How do you take screenshots in this game? The scenery is so beautiful, I'll post them in the group chat and brag about them, it'll make all the guys who didn't get a spot green with envy.]

Chapter 7 Let's get to work!

[Kitten: It seems there's no screenshot system... Wait, I found it! The menu has built-in screenshot and video recording functions, and it's even in 8K resolution.]

Watching the group of players explore the place like country bumpkins visiting a grand garden, Xu Tian didn't disturb their enjoyment.

After all, even he himself was surprised by this place.

However, as a guide, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

Xu Tian controlled Steve to slowly turn around, facing the five people, and cleared his throat.

“My people.”

The NPC's voice rang out again, instantly silencing the group who were still taking screenshots.

"Welcome to the continent of Eshilia."

Xu Tian pointed to the vast forest, his tone impassioned.

"Our goal is to conquer this continent, but I have a premonition that more crises await us in the shadows. Now, let us take the first step toward conquest."

As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Xu Tian's mind.

[Host intent detected. Issue newbie quests?]

"release".

Xu Tian silently recited in his heart.

The next second, a golden task panel popped up simultaneously in the center of the five players' vision.

Main Quest 1: Build Your Minecraft Home

Subtask 1: Resource Reserves (Timber)

Objective: To collect various types of logs, including oak and birch.

[Reward: 1 gold coin for every 10 stacks of logs submitted.]

[Subtask 2: Resource Reserves (Stone)]

Objective: Collect cobblestones.

[Reward: 1 gold coin for every 10 sets of round stones submitted.]

[Note: Gold coins are the universal currency and can be used for player-to-player trading or to purchase advanced mod privileges.]

[Subtask 3: Blueprint Design]

[Objective: Design the blueprints for your homestead (requires server owner approval).]

[Reward: 5 gold coins.]

Main Mission Two: Establish a Temporary Outpost

[Subtask 1: Outpost Blueprint Design]

[Objective: Design temporary defensive outpost blueprints for the continent of Eisheria (requires server owner approval).]

[Reward: 5 gold coins.]

[Subtask Two: Construction]

[Note: Once the collection is complete, construction can begin. Players will share a total prize pool of 20 gold coins based on their contribution.]

Upon seeing the suddenly pop-up task list, the players immediately became excited.

[Kitten: This game seems to have a lot of freedom! They don't give us ready-made blueprints, but let us design it ourselves? And there are two bases?]

[Completely bewildered: Not bad, one is MC's main base, and the other is an outpost here. Interesting. Looks like we're going to have to run between the two.]

[Niu Niu: So, who among you can design blueprints? I can only lay bricks.]

[Xiao Heihei: I know architectural design and have built main cities in other games before, but I don't quite understand the physics of this game. After all, the load-bearing logic of these blocks might be different. I need to study it some more.]

Seeing that they were discussing it enthusiastically, Xu Tian spoke up again to add to the discussion.

"The mission has been assigned, my people. Hurry back to the Minecraft continent to gather materials and begin construction. Every action you take will determine our future in this world."

After saying this, Xu Tian stopped talking and simply stood there quietly, maintaining his unfathomable NPC persona.

The group of people were taken aback for a moment.

[Little Cat: Is that all there is to the story?]

[Life is Like the First Meeting: It's probably over. Let's go, don't just stand there. Didn't you see what the quest says? We need to go back to MC to collect materials.]

The group glanced longingly at the real forest before turning and heading towards the whirlpool.

At this moment, the other end of the portal was no longer a purple void, but a clearly visible blocky continent.

Passing through the vortex, the realistic fleshy sensation vanished instantly, replaced by the peculiar tactile sensation of a cube-shaped body.

The five of them turned back into Steve with his square head and boxy appearance.

Only then did everyone have time to carefully examine the rewards for the task they had just completed.

[Confused: Wait... ten stacks of wood for only one gold coin?]

[Niu Niu: I noticed that too! The guide says one set is 64 pieces, so ten sets would be 640 pieces of wood. The game developers are really greedy!]

[Kitten: There's no way around it, resources are bound to be scarce during the early stages of development, and these gold coins can be used to buy modules, so they're definitely worth a lot. Stop complaining and let's divide the work.]

[Kitten: Okay, let's split into two groups. One group will cut down trees, and the other group will dig for stones. Since we're building a house, we need both.]

[Little Blackie: What are we digging for? None of us even have a pickaxe right now. Didn't the guide say we need to farm first?]

[Completely bewildered: That's true, having equipment will definitely be more efficient; sharpening your axe won't delay your work.]

[Niu Niu: What are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and go, let's pluck this whole patch of trees bald first.]

After a brief discussion, the five Steves, with an air of indifference, charged towards the oak forest surrounding their spawn point.

The sound of chopping down trees echoed throughout the entire blocky continent.

Watching the five Steves, like industrious worker ants, carrying their rudimentary tools, rush into the forest, Xu Tian nodded in satisfaction.

"This kind of self-awareness is exactly the kind of perfect employee that capitalists dream of."

Now that the players have already started working, there's no need for him, the official NPC, to stand there pretending to be aloof.

Xu Tian controlled his Steve body and turned to walk towards the continent of Eshilia, a different world that was also full of unknowns for him.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating his blocky head, and each step he took on the pile of fallen leaves produced a crisp sound.

"Feels nice to the touch."

He explored the edge of the forest and, after confirming that there were no dangerous high-level magical beasts nearby, he teleported back to the MC continent with a thought.

In this blocky world, those five people had long since disappeared.

Xu Tian opened the chat channel and saw messages scrolling by rapidly.

[Kitten: Here, here's the manuscript. Lao Liu and I are going to cut down trees. You guys dig up some stones first.]

[Completely bewildered: I've given you mine too, it still has half durability left]

[Life is like the first time we met: Here's the axe, I'll go check over there for other resources]

[Xiao Heihei: No, this is too slow. How about we switch to voice chat? Typing and operating at the same time is just inhuman and slows down the pace.]

[Niu Niu: Sure, I see this helmet system even has a built-in browser and social media interface, so we can log in directly to our accounts. Shall we log in and start a voice call in the group?]

[Kitten: Okay, I'll go open it.]

Upon seeing this, Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"These companies are really good at coming up with ideas; they've actually come up with a full-service package."

He shook his head, marveling at how comprehensive the company's services were indeed excellent.

Chapter 8: I'll eat it even if I'm not number one.

A few minutes later, in the group chat where everyone was focused solely on the game.

As soon as the kitten initiated a group voice call, the originally quiet late-night group chat instantly became lively.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

"I can hear it, very clearly."

"No... Old Cat, why are you on voice chat so late at night? I thought something serious had happened."
