Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

[That wolf is huge, is it the boss?]

Xu Tian looked at the comments and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't panic, everyone, this isn't a monster."

He explained.

"These are snow wolves tamed by our players in the 'Wind and Snow' game. They are now in charge of the logistics and transportation for the entire project."

He turned to the white wolf and called out.

"Little White, come here."

Upon hearing the call, the white wolf immediately stopped and turned around.

Two clear golden eyes shone like two bright lamps in the dim tunnel. It first placed the oak box on its back steadily on the ground, then walked gracefully to Xu Tian, ​​lowered its head, and let out a low and gentle hum.

"Take me to see what's ahead."

Xu Tian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped over and straddled Xiaobai's broad back.

The comments section went completely wild.

Riding wolves? Is the whole world riding wolves?

[That's so cool!]

Where did you catch this mount? I want one too!

[Reported! The streamer is cheating; he actually became someone else's werewolf...]

Xiao Bai stood up, carried Xu Tian, ​​and began to steadily move towards the depths of the tunnel.

Its steps were light and steady, yet its speed was by no means slow, and it quickly left the construction area behind.

The live stream then moved, gradually revealing the scenery deeper into the tunnel.

Ahead, the players are working together with astonishing efficiency.

On both sides, the villagers worked in pairs, one handing over the stone slabs and the other laying and securing them, their movements fluid and seamless.

The entire tunnel is stubbornly extending forward at a speed of several meters per minute thanks to the combined efforts of hundreds of hands.

[This is spectacular; it's unlike anything you'd see in a game.]

Hey Tianxia, ​​are you still hiring for your game? Do you accept all majors? I'd like to apply.

[Same request, I'm an architecture student]

Seeing the flood of registration requests on the screen, Xu Tian already had a plan in mind.

For the next recruitment drive, it's time to expand the scope.

The future of Eshilia needs more professional talent.

Sitting on the broad back of the majestic snow wolf Xiaobai, Xu Tian traveled smoothly through the dimly lit underground tunnel.

In front of him, a semi-transparent live stream chat panel floated, visible only to him.

At this point, as the live stream progressed, the number of people flooding into the live stream room had exceeded 100,000, and a dense barrage of comments scrolled wildly like a waterfall.

Looking at the messages on the screen asking how to get a spot, Xu Tian cleared his throat and spoke in a calm and magnetic voice.

"Thank you all for your continued support and attention to the game Conquer Online. Don't worry, the company will release more beta test slots soon."

He paused, then continued to explain the current recruitment mechanism.

"However, the next batch of slots will be allocated with some emphasis. We will select a group of professionals who have a significant impact on the development of the entire game. Of course, we will also reserve a considerable number of slots for ordinary players who play the game normally."

"For example, when we need to build a railway network that runs through the mainland, we will set aside more than a dozen places to recruit players with railway engineering-related majors. After all, professional things should be left to professionals."

Xu Tian smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed.

"For example, if the base expands in the future and urban planning is needed, we can recruit professionals to be responsible for urban planning and architectural design."

"To be honest, all the building blueprints and defense plans in our game were drawn up by a player with a design background who stayed up all night. It was really hard work for her."

As soon as these words were spoken, the barrage of comments that were originally discussing the allocation of quotas instantly shifted their attention, and the screen was immediately filled with new comments.

【Wow, Aibo, you didn't draw all those coolies yourself, did you?】

[Of course! I remember Xiaoheihei streamer always makes architecture tutorial videos, who else could it be but her?]

[Wow, one person got all the building blueprints for the entire server? Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare do that kind of work!]

Seeing that some people in the live chat had already figured out the truth, Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud and nodded in acknowledgment.

"That's right, everyone guessed correctly. The game is currently in the early stages of closed beta testing, and there is indeed a shortage of professional staff, so we can only entrust Sister Hei to draw it."

"The players' private residences, outposts, and the four large defense bases that will be built next are all being built by Sister Hei alone."

[66666, even capitalists would be moved to tears. You want to be my black sister's slave?]

[This world is terrible! I strongly condemn the official exploitation of labor. Please give me a spot so I can enter the game and rescue Blackie!]

[That's right, give me a spot, I'll come and rescue Sister Hei too. I may not know anything, but giving me a spot is definitely the right thing to do.]

[Run, Blackie! This game has no labor laws!]

Seeing the barrage of jokes about rescuing Sister Hei on the live stream, Xu Tian explained with a smile.

"Please understand, there are limited spots and few people with special abilities, so this important task naturally falls on Sister Hei."

"But don't worry, everyone. The gold coins given in the game are absolutely generous. Sister Hei is now the richest girl in our server."

Chapter 104 Construction

While joking around with viewers in the live stream, Xiaobai strode forward, carrying Xu Tian deep into the tunnel, and soon arrived at the front line of construction.

Xu Tian gently patted Xiaobai's neck to stop it, then flipped over and jumped off the wolf's back.

"Alright, everyone, that's enough chit-chat. Now let's take you on an immersive experience of how large-scale underground construction is carried out in our game."

As Xu Tian spoke, he focused his mind and turned the live stream directly towards the bustling excavation site in front of him.

As Xu Tian approached, the breathtaking scene of the entire underground construction was revealed to hundreds of thousands of viewers.

At the very front of the tunnel stood a row of fully armed players.

Instead of using large tunnel boring machines or excavators like those in reality, each of them held an enchanted pickaxe that shimmered with an eerie light.

A player raised his diamond pickaxe high and slammed it down hard on the solid rock wall in front of him.

"Ding".

With a crisp metallic clang, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

In just a few seconds, accompanied by a few tiny cracks, the solid rock, which was a full cubic meter in size, broke apart instantly with a muffled bang.

A neat gap, one meter long and one meter wide, suddenly appeared on the originally perfectly sealed rock wall.

Immediately afterwards, the player moved to the side and swung the pickaxe again, and another cubic meter of rock vanished instantly.

This incredibly efficient method of drilling, which defies the laws of physics, left the viewers in the live stream completely dumbfounded.

Everyone was stunned when they saw it, and the comments section even paused briefly before exploding with new messages.

[Holy crap, what kind of hellish digging method is this? A few light taps with a pickaxe, and you're telling me you've dug out a square meter of solid ground?]

[What the hell is this pickaxe? It's so overpowered! If this thing existed in reality, would we need those multi-million dollar heavy machinery for digging subways and tunnels? We could just pick up this pick and smash through the entire planet!]

Physics no longer exists; if Newton saw this, he'd jump out of his coffin and start cursing.

The visual impact is incredible! The scene is so realistic that you can clearly see the moss and water droplets on the rocks, but the digging method is as abstract as a sandbox game. The contrast is amazing!

Seeing the shocking comments flooding the screen, Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh and offered words of comfort.

"Don't overthink it, everyone. This is just a special game mechanic and shouldn't be taken as reality. This is how efficient we are at mining in the game."

[Haha, streamer, you're just making this up. The environment and lighting here look exactly like reality. Don't wait until you guys, the Fourth Calamity, actually invade Earth's reality, and the streamer tells me on the news that this is just a game.]

[Yeah, the realism is so good, I'd believe you guys were doing development work in another world.]

Xu Tian did not dwell on the topic, but instead zoomed out slightly to show the entire assembly-line-like production process.

While the group of players in front were frantically digging through tunnels and expanding the space, a dozen meters behind them was another group of villagers dressed in the same clothes.

These NPCs also worked in an orderly manner.

They took out smooth, fired stones from a wooden box beside them and then covered the uneven rock walls, the soil above their heads, and the ground beneath their feet with a layer of smooth stones.

With the application of smooth stone, the originally rough mine cave was instantly transformed into a clean and tidy underground passage.

Behind the smooth stone anti-collapse layer, the third group of villagers have begun laying railway tracks directly.

Xu Tian took a few steps closer, and the camera just happened to capture a group of snow-white creatures.

One could see large snow wolves lined up in neat rows, moving through the tunnel.

Two large wooden crates, filled with rubble and dirt dug out by the players in front of them, were tied to their backs with rough hemp ropes.

These wolves, carrying boxes of waste soil, ran out of the tunnel and quickly returned, their numbers approaching a thousand.

The sight of such a large and disciplined pack of wolves moving through the narrow underground passage was visually overwhelming.

[Wow, so many wolves? Streamer, doesn't this game have any pet adoption restrictions? Aren't most games limited to two or three pets?]

In response to questions in the live stream about whether there were any restrictions on pet adoption in the game, Xu Tian gently patted the smooth fur on Xiaobai's neck and spoke casually to the camera.

"No, in the game's setting, you can breed pets however you want in the starting village. The system does not set any limit on the number of pets you can carry or any pet slots."

He paused, looked at the barrage of question marks in the comments, and added with a smile.

"However, although there is no limit to the number, if the number is too large, the logistics supply will be a very troublesome problem."

"Because in this highly realistic world, pets get hungry and need to consume a lot of food to maintain their fighting ability, which is something that ordinary people simply cannot feed."

At this point, Xu Tian seemed to remember something, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"However, there is indeed a ruthless person in our server. I remember that the player Fengxue, who is in charge of logistics and animal taming, has raised more than 5,000 snow wolves of this size after these few days of crazy feeding and breeding."

"This is all thanks to her huge ranch that provides her with a massive amount of food every day to help them reproduce. Once she goes to Eishia, she still needs to eat every day to maintain her condition."

"The transport team in this tunnel is just the tip of the iceberg of her wolf pack's reserves."
