Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"We need to pursue sustainable development and replant saplings in areas where trees have been cut down or in planned forest areas."

Suddenly, something sparked in his mind.

“That makes sense. This is what they mean by ‘one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.’ Okay, I’ll take care of collecting all the fallen saplings. After we’ve cut down this area, we’ll find a place together to replant them.”

Meanwhile, in a natural mine cave not far from the spawn point.

The environment here is much more oppressive than on the ground.

The dim light made the surrounding stone walls appear somewhat eerie, with only the occasional dripping of water echoing in the empty cave.

Niu Niu was carrying a stone pickaxe with half its durability gone, and was digging hard at a stone wall.

"Ding".

As a round stone broke off, a cluster of unusual minerals was revealed behind the stone wall.

Its base color is the same grayish-white as stone, but it is inlaid with a few brown metallic spots.

"Hey? Something doesn't look right with this thing."

Niu Niu stopped what he was doing and leaned closer to take a look.

"The official website didn't even provide a picture of the actual product for reference, it's all text guide, how would anyone know what this thing is?"

Yang Qinyu, who was clearing away rubble nearby, came over and glanced at it by the dim torchlight.

"It looks like metal ore, why don't we give it a try?"

"Row".

Niu Niu raised his stone pickaxe and smashed it down hard on the ore.

With a final, crisp cracking sound, the ore shattered, revealing an irregularly shaped brown metal block.

Yang Qinyu stepped forward, and the little thing was immediately sucked into her backpack.

She exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the name displayed in the inventory.

"It's crude iron, this is the iron ore mentioned in the guide."

"Now that we have iron, can we make a pickaxe?"

Niu Niu asked excitedly.

Yang Qinyu recalled Xu Tian's rudimentary document.

"I remember the guide said that crude iron cannot be used directly; it must be smelted into iron ingots first."

"Then hurry up and make a furnace, I'll go and dig out the rest of these pieces."

Yang Qinyu gave the instructions.

"okay".

Niu Niu immediately took out a workbench from his backpack and placed it on the ground, skillfully arranging the eight round stones in a circle.

[Furnace synthesis successful]

He picked up the heavy stone furnace and placed it in the corner.

At this moment, Yang Qinyu also knocked down all the iron ore pieces that were exposed on the wall.

She went to the furnace, opened the operating interface, and stuffed several pieces of crude iron into the top raw material compartment.

However, the furnace did not respond.

"Hey, the guide says we need coal or charcoal for fuel, but this mine is so dark, and we haven't even found any coal yet. What does coal look like?"

Niu Niu scratched his head.

Yang Qinyu was also taken aback.

"I don't know either."

She suddenly remembered something.

"The guide seems to have mentioned that wooden tools can also be used as fuel, although it's very inefficient."

"Do you still have that nearly broken wooden pickaxe of yours?"

After being reminded, Niu Niu said.

"That's right, the guide does say that the wooden pickaxe's purpose is to dig up three round stones to make a stone pickaxe, and its remaining lifespan is to be burned as firewood."

He quickly rummaged through his backpack for a while, pulled out the old wooden pickaxe, and threw it into the fuel compartment below the furnace without hesitation.

"call".

Flames rose up.

The once cold furnace was instantly illuminated by the firelight, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

The two squatted in front of the furnace, their eyes fixed on the progress bar as it slowly advanced.

Soon, with a soft sound, the first silver-white iron ingot was freshly produced.

"It's done."

Niu Niu excitedly waved his fist.

However, a wooden pickaxe burns for a very short time; it goes out once the first piece is burned.

"Since there's no coal, let's use wooden planks for now."

Yang Qinyu made a quick decision and took out several pieces of wood and stuffed them in.

The flames rose again.

Soon, a total of six iron ingots were neatly arranged in the backpack.

Niu Niu looked at the iron ingot that gleamed with metallic luster and was somewhat eager to try it out.

"Six pieces are just enough to make two pickaxes. Shall we each take one? That way we'll definitely be able to dig stones faster."

"no".

Yang Qinyu resolutely shook her head and refused.

"Using a pickaxe to dig rocks? That's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Pickaxes have a limited lifespan, and every swing of the pick is worth money."

"Iron must be used where it is most needed, such as for making iron buckets, scissors, or weapons for when we go to Eishia. For rough work like digging stones, we can continue to use cheap stone pickaxes, since cobblestones are everywhere anyway."

Chapter 10 Design Drawings

Niu Niu thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he regretfully gave up the idea of ​​making a pickaxe.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's continue being laborers."

The two men picked up their stone picks again and continued to push deeper into the mine tunnel.

The clanging and banging of the excavator rang out again.

After digging for a while, Yang Qinyu glanced at the number of round stones in her backpack and realized she had collected a full ten sets.

"That's about it."

She put away the pickaxe.

"We have enough stones to complete the first round of tasks. You guys keep digging. I'll go back and study the game's building physics engine to design the blueprints for my home."

"Okay, go ahead."

Niu Niu continued to struggle against the stone wall in front of him without turning his head.

Watching Yang Qinyu's figure disappear at the mine entrance, Niu Niu turned to look at another fork in the road.

Over there were [Life is Like the First Meeting] and the newcomer [Xi Xi]. The two of them had also formed a team and were mining like crazy.

"These guys are all incredibly hardworking."

Niu Niu smiled and swung the stone pickaxe in his hand again.

After leaving the mine, Yang Qinyu ran straight towards the golden ID [World Domination] that stood quietly near the spawn point.

She opened the interactive panel and made a selection.

[Task Submission: Resource Reserves (Stone)]

As soon as the confirmation button was pressed, the ten neatly arranged sets of round stones in the backpack were instantly emptied.

Immediately afterwards, a pleasant sound effect rang out, and the number in the currency bar in the upper right corner of the field of view jumped from 0 to 1.

A golden coin icon flashed briefly on the UI.

"This is the game's first pot of gold..."

Yang Qinyu sighed.

"It's really not easy. You have to work like a dog to earn just one coin."

But now is not the time for lamenting.

Using the remaining stones and dirt, she began simple building tests on the open ground at the spawn point.

Elevated, suspended, extended laterally...

As a graduate in architecture, she has a sensitivity to spatial structures far beyond that of ordinary people.

After fiddling with it for a few minutes, she discovered that although the game's building physics engine seemed simple and crude, it actually had a very rigorous logic.

"This anti-gravity property would be a godsend for modern architecture or a fantasy-style floating city."

With a clear idea in mind, she immediately took out a piece of parchment, a drawing tool provided by the system, from her backpack and began to sketch out a blueprint for her home in her mind.

"Since it's a temporary base, it doesn't need to be too complicated. Practicality should be the priority, with aesthetics as a secondary consideration..."

After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized a crucial issue.

"That's how the blocks work in Minecraft, but what about in Ashilia? Their art style is realistic, so can you really play with the blocks like that there?"

If it weren't universal, and we had to build a wall in that real world brick by brick like in reality, the sheer scale of the project would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, she immediately turned around and rushed towards the teleportation portal.

After the dizziness of traversing dimensions subsided, real sunlight shone on me once again.
