Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

Upon hearing this, there was a two-second silence in the live stream chat before an even more intense outburst of comments followed.

[Holy crap, over five thousand? Streamer, are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?]

[Wow, over five thousand wolves that big! They're not pets, they're a fully-organized army!]

[Are you crazy? Letting these five thousand wolves go free, they can bite whoever they want. What boss can withstand five thousand mouths biting it at the same time?]

This game is insane! One person can raise an entire army of monsters. Is this the true value of the Fourth Calamity?

Xu Tian looked at the screen full of shocked comments and didn't offer any further explanation.

He gently squeezed the wolf's belly, and Little White understood and quickened his pace.

"Alright, now that we've shown you the hard-hitting excavation work, let's move a little closer and take a look at the track laying work behind it."

Chapter 105 Suspension Bridge

As Xiaobai approached, the live stream camera smoothly shifted to the back of the tunnel.

There, a group of villagers dressed in uniform coarse cloth work clothes were standing in neat rows.

A villager took a section of railway track from a wooden box next to him.

Instead of measuring the track gauge, laying sleepers, and driving in spikes like a real railway worker, he walked directly onto the smooth stone ground.

He aligned the rail in his hand with the ground and gently placed it down.

"Click".

With a crisp snapping sound, the one-meter-long rail instantly and automatically adhered to the smooth stone ground, perfectly and seamlessly connecting with the rails laid in front.

There are no gaps, no deviations.

This scene once again stunned the 100,000 viewers in the live stream.

Xu Tian leaned forward slightly on the wolf's back, pointed at the construction site, and spoke to the live stream audience.

"Now you should have the answers to your previous questions, right? Many people think that laying a railway through all the major bases in such a vast alien world might take years or months."

"But in reality, it won't take long at all."

Xu Tian's voice carried a hint of the unique pride of a player.

"Because the construction method here has been greatly simplified and made more convenient by the game mechanics. As long as there are enough materials and the paving surface is flat, placing the rails is just a simple step of clicking, dropping, and forming."

He focused his gaze on the villagers who were constantly taking rails out of their backpacks and letting them fall to the ground like dominoes, instantly forming a straight, long steel dragon.

Holy crap, I've lived for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've ever seen such an underworld-like construction method.

[This speed is terrifying! No welding, no calibration, just place it and it's done?]

[Case solved, guys! No wonder the streamer dared to say he was going to build a railway that runs through the entire map. At this rate, as long as the players at the front break through the rocks fast enough, I feel like these NPCs could pave several thousand meters of track in an hour!]

Indeed, this method is a godsend for infrastructure builders; its efficiency would make even real-world construction teams envious.

Just as the audience was marveling at the speed of infrastructure construction unique to this virtual world in the barrage comments, Xu Tian patted Xiaobai on the head and prepared to turn the perspective around to show everyone the entire well-organized, brightly lit, and assembly-line-like underground construction panorama.

However, just as he turned his perspective...

At the end of the tunnel, which had been dark and deep with only torches providing illumination, a strange change suddenly appeared.

A blinding beam of light, with the unique color temperature of nature, shone in without warning from the very end of the front.

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment, squinting slightly to adjust to the sudden bright light.

"Light? This is dozens of meters underground, where would natural light come from?"

A sense of doubt welled up in his mind, and he immediately squeezed his legs together to encircle the wolf's belly.

"Xiaobai, speed up, let's go take a look."

The snow wolf let out a low howl, its four hooves suddenly exerted force, transforming into a white streak of light, passing over the villagers who were laying railway tracks, passing over the safety zone that had just been paved with smooth stones, and rushing straight to the front of the tunnel.

As the distance closed, the light grew larger and larger, accompanied by gusts of wind that howled through the gap and blew into the tunnel.

When Xu Tian rode his wolf to the front of the construction team, he noticed that all the players in charge of the excavation, including Chief Engineer Railway Brother Wang and the leader Chen Xu, had stopped what they were doing and were looking at the scene ahead.

"Old Cat, what's wrong?"

Xu Tian dismounted from the wolf and quickly walked to Chen Xu's side, following his gaze forward.

Upon hearing Xu Tian's voice, Chen Xu pointed to the huge opening ahead and spoke.

"Tianxia, ​​look for yourself, it seems we've dug through, we've dug all the way to the outside of the cliff."

"cliff?"

Xu Tian walked quickly to the edge of the tunnel and peered out.

The once solid rock face in front of them had completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a clear blue sky with no clouds.

The wind howled in the abyss, and a huge bird of prey glided past them just a few hundred meters below.

Xu Tian reacted instantly.

"This place should be the side cliff of the mountain we passed when we went to the goblin tribe."

Their tunnel was originally running straight underground, but the mountain's structure suddenly broke down here, forming a huge cliff.

They dug tirelessly all the way, and somehow managed to dig a hole horizontally through the mountain.

Now, the massive construction team, along with the railway that was only half-laid out, is awkwardly stuck on this cliff halfway up the mountain.

Viewers in the live stream instantly experienced the extreme fear of heights, like standing on the edge of a cliff, through Xu Tian's first-person perspective.

Wow, the visual impact is incredible! The streamer's team is on the verge of disaster!

Good heavens, they dug right through the mountain! Now look at this, there's no road ahead.

It seems a bridge needs to be built, but how can it be built across such a wide canyon? Without bridge piers for support, how will the railway cross?

Just as the chat was filled with speculation about whether the construction team would take a detour, Old Wang, who was standing at the very front, looked at the scene in front of him, suddenly turned around, and shouted to the players behind him.

"Attention all players, stop digging and immediately empty the dirt from your inventory and replace it with smooth stone."

"Prepare to lay blocks as a base and build a suspension bridge."

Upon hearing the words "suspension bridge," a barrage of question marks immediately appeared in the live stream chat.

[Suspension bridge? What kind of new term is this in civil engineering?]

[Newton: Are you being polite? Building a bridge in mid-air? Without piers, how are you going to build it?]

[The newbie above is so stupid, didn't you watch the video Niu Niu posted before? The blocks in this game can be suspended in the air. Except for sand and gravel, other blocks can extend by ignoring gravity as long as one side is connected.]

Brother Wang is definitely planning to build a suspended, high-altitude block road from the edge of this cliff, and then lay railway tracks directly on top of the blocks.

Seeing veteran players explaining things in the comments, Xu Tian nodded at the camera and smiled as he spoke.

"That's right, that netizen is absolutely right, this is the unique building method in our Conquer Online world."

"However, although the game mechanics allow blocks to float in the air without restriction, in order to maintain the overall visual aesthetics of the project and provide sufficient safety for future trains."

"After we finish building this flimsy suspension bridge, we will also arrange for people to build huge piers little by little below the canyon to support the bridge deck."

Chapter 106 The World Has Been Cheated On

As they were talking, the construction team ahead had already quickly adjusted their tactics.

Chen Xu took the lead and walked directly to the very edge of the cliff without any hesitation.

A bottomless abyss lay just ahead of his toes.

If you tilt forward even slightly, you'll be smashed to pieces.

But he remained unfazed and began to sneak up. His center of gravity was forcibly locked at the edge of the block, and no matter how far he leaned out, his feet were firmly rooted to the last smooth stone block.

"Brothers, watch me start."

Chen Xu crouched down, his back to the abyss, and positioned a smooth stone against the side of the block beneath his feet.

"Click".

A smooth stone appeared out of nowhere above the abyss, firmly attached to the edge of the cliff.

Then, Chen Xu carefully took a step back and stood on the smooth stone that had just been suspended in mid-air, and then aimed at the side again, making another tap.

"Click!"

The second suspended rock appeared.

The dozen or so players behind them followed suit, forming several rows and crouching on the edge of the cliff to begin a high-altitude operation.

One by one, blocks were pushed out into the void by the players along the edge of the cliff, as if they had grown out of thin air.

What was originally a bottomless abyss with no way to go has been inexplicably extended into a suspended road paved with stones.

The villagers NPCs behind them clearly had never experienced such an unconventional scene.

They stood there blankly in the safe tunnel, not daring to make any rash moves without receiving instructions, and could only watch the players with awe.

Watching the players ahead of him retreating while constantly piecing together blocks in the void to quickly build up barriers on both sides, Xu Tian felt an indescribable surge of pride.

He looked at the miraculous road stretching endlessly in the clouds and blurted out the words as he faced the camera in the live stream.

"When you encounter a mountain, carve it out; when you find a road, build it."

After saying that, Xu Tian took a deep breath, strode out of the safe cave, and stepped onto the newly built, suspended stone bridge that was only a dozen meters long and had nothing below it.

With the wind howling in his ears, he walked to the edge of the bridge and pointed the live stream directly downwards, allowing everyone to experience a breathtaking aerial view with him.

In the live stream, the viewer's feet were surrounded by swirling clouds and mist. Below the clouds and mist was a huge river that meandered like a silver ribbon, and a primeval forest as lush as a green carpet.

Those towering trees that once reached into the clouds now appeared as small as moss on the ground in everyone's eyes.

The mountains stretch endlessly, and the magnificent landscape gleams in the sunlight, offering a panoramic view of all the natural scenery.

[Holy crap! My fear of heights is acting up! Aibo, rewind!]

[This is spectacular! The scenery, the modeling, the lighting and rendering—any screenshot could be used as a computer wallpaper.]

Is this really just a game? I feel like I'm watching a National Geographic aerial documentary!
