Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"Creating a road where there's no other way! This is so inspiring! This is true infrastructure powerhouse!"

Xu Tian stood above the clouds, listening to the wind and watching the gifts and comments popping up everywhere, and spoke calmly.

"Okay, that's pretty much what you've seen about the excavation of the underground tunnel and the construction process of this high-altitude suspension bridge."

"This is why we need a large workforce and professional planning."

He turned and walked back, clapping his hands.

"What else would you like to see? Today I'll take you on a tour of the world of Asheria."

Sharp-eyed viewers immediately spotted the blind spot in the live chat and started making fun of it.

[Wait, Aibo, I've noticed something. Everyone else is risking their lives to build bridges and do the work, but as the official person in charge of this game, why didn't you go and help?]

[Yeah, why is our Aibo (a live streaming platform) riding around on a big white wolf, taking us all over the place? Is he supervising the project?]

[Capitalist, typical capitalist behavior. While his brothers are fighting to the death in front, he's making money off the show in the back.]

Xu Tian looked at these joking comments, but instead of getting angry, he straightened his chest with a sense of righteous indignation.

He spoke to the camera in a very serious tone.

"Why shouldn't I go to work? Because I don't lack gold coins."

"This railway construction task has a huge prize pool of 5000 gold coins. These guys are dirt poor. They have to scrape together money to buy a module. They are short of gold coins to develop their character."

"If I were to go down into the arena and compete with them for contribution points and gold coins, wouldn't that be bullying them? I'm giving them room to develop, understand?"

As soon as he said that, the entire live stream chat was instantly flooded with "hahaha" and various jokes.

[Spread the word: The world has cheated to get unlimited gold coins, and even boasted that gold coins are just numbers to him, completely useless.]

[Pass this on, and the official streamer will personally admit that he's a shill, not only not doing any work but also complaining about his teammates being poor.]

[This is hilarious! This streamer is so real, slacking off with such confidence. But to be fair, the game atmosphere is really great. Watching them build this world together makes me want to join in!]

In the following days, the entire continent of Eshilia was completely engulfed in an unprecedented wave of infrastructure construction.

The saying "To get rich, build roads first"—this infrastructure DNA ingrained in the Chinese people—is vividly displayed in this completely realistic alternate world.

Driven by the allure of the massive quest "Foundation of Civilization," with its prize pool of thousands of gold coins, all players and NPCs erupted in a terrifying frenzy.

The players are responsible for wielding enchanted pickaxes at the front, cutting through mountains with brute force.

The NPCs were laying smooth stone layers and rails in an orderly manner behind them.

Around them, the Snow Wolf transport brigade, whose numbers had expanded to an exaggerated extent, was tirelessly transporting soil and materials.

During this period, Xu Tian was not idle either.

Seeing the new players rushing to catch up by borrowing or earning gold coins to equip all the modules, his gold coin turnover in the backend experienced another surge.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Tian directly exchanged the gold coins he had accumulated from purchasing modules for another 100 slots through the system, and quickly approved and distributed them.

At this point, the total number of players in the closed beta of the game "Conquer Online" has officially reached 230.

As the number of game slots continues to expand and the in-game economy grows, the price of exchanging slots for gold coins has also risen accordingly, reaching a high price of 200 gold coins per person.

However, Xu Tian didn't care about this, because the player base had already been formed, and once the scale of the workers grew, the speed at which gold coins were produced would only become more and more terrifying.

Chapter 107 Construction Completed

In the past few days, Xu Tian did not personally go down to dig soil. Instead, he leisurely broadcast live, riding his alpha wolf Xiaobai, running around various construction sites, filming and narrating their magnificent construction process.

With these past few days of high-intensity, high-quality gameplay live streams, Conquer Online has truly broken through its niche online and officially entered the mainstream player community.

Whether it's the unparalleled lighting and shadow rendering, the realistic physical collisions, or the dimensional reduction gameplay of one person leading a thousand wolves and building a suspension bridge with bare hands, it all left netizens stunned.

Every day, countless people flood the live stream with messages, asking Xu Tian when he will release more spots.

At noon that day, Xu Tian rode his wolf to the forefront of the underground tunnel construction. Looking at the constantly refreshing barrage of questions, he cleared his throat and smiled at the camera.

"Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm for our game Conquer these past few days. Thanks to your tireless efforts over the past few days and nights, the railway line connecting our two frontline bases in the north and south of Eshiria will soon be officially completed."

"Today, I won't take you to see the excavation. Instead, I'll take you to see the end of our construction site, and by the way, I'll show you a big treasure."

As he spoke, Xu Tian dismounted and walked to the railway tracks that had been laid flat but were not yet open to traffic.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream, Xu Tian opened his virtual backpack and took out a miniature model that he had prepared in advance.

He gently placed the model in his hand down onto the railway tracks beside him.

"Click".

Accompanied by a dull thud.

Right before everyone's eyes, the palm-sized model swelled up in the wind the moment it touched the rails.

"boom!"

A cloud of white steam suddenly erupted, and a small, green steam locomotive, three meters high, three meters wide, and five meters long, appeared out of thin air in the deep underground tunnel.

The heavy steel armor, the massive mechanical linkages, and the boiler radiating scorching heat all contribute to the realism of this steel behemoth.

Seeing the train appear out of thin air, the live stream chat exploded like a nuclear bomb!

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What's going on with this train? Did it magically appear out of nowhere?!]

[This is insane! This is some kind of space-folding technology, isn't it?]

[Hey, Aibo, hurry up and take us for a spin! I want to see the train from a first-person perspective!]

Physics has vanished! One second it's a model, the next it's a solid locomotive weighing several tons? How much stuff can the backpack in this game actually hold?!

Xu Tian looked at the shocked and incoherent comments on the screen and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't rush, everyone. There's still a short section of track that hasn't been repaired yet, so this train can't go directly to the destination. When it reaches the middle section, I'll get off and walk across. Now, let me give you a sneak peek at our first train in Asheria."

After saying that, Xu Tian nimbly stepped on the pedal and went straight into the train's driver's cab.

The dashboard, pressure valves, and levers inside the driver's cab are extremely realistic.

Xu Tian sat down in the driver's seat, pointed the camera at the window directly in front of him, and then gripped the thick control lever with both hands.

"Attention passengers, the Eshilia is departing."

Xu Tian suddenly pulled the control lever downwards.

"Clang, clang."

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the boiler, followed by the entire massive steel vehicle beginning to tremble violently.

As steam billowed out, the massive steel wheels began to rub and rotate on the rails, propelling the train slowly forward, its speed increasing rapidly.

Holy crap, it actually runs! The quality of this train and the sound effects are pretty impressive.

[666, this game gives me a feeling that's both real and unreal, it's so disjointed.]

[The person upstairs is wrong. What's realistic is the texture of this world, the lighting and shadows, and the physical collisions. What's unrealistic is that the players' abilities are too overpowered.]

Who would have thought that a locomotive several meters long and weighing over ten tons could be stored in a backpack like a figurine when not in use, and then simply tossed on the ground to start when needed? Who could resist that?

The train sped through the underground tunnel, the torchlight on both sides forming golden streaks outside the windows.

Looking at the lack of scenery in front of him, mostly just dark underground rock walls, Xu Tian sighed slightly in the driver's seat and spoke to the live broadcast room.

"It's a pity that all we can see now is the dark tunnel. The main reason is that our players' overall strength is too weak. There are stronger monsters everywhere outside. If we built the railway on the ground, it would probably be torn down by monsters every few days."

"But don't worry, everyone. When we have cleared out all the monsters around here and completely taken control of this continent, we will definitely build the railway outside."

"When the sun shines brightly, you'll see vast grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and forests. As you pass by, you can sit on the train and enjoy the scenery of this other world."

Listening to Xu Tian's description, the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Indeed, after watching Niu Niu and the others' monster-fighting videos, the scenery outside of Aisilia is truly beautiful.

If I could ride a scenic train like this in this game, I'd die happy. Wouldn't that be better than visiting any tourist attractions?

Seeing the expectant comments on the screen, Xu Tian smiled dismissively, his tone brimming with arrogance.

"This is nothing! You think you can die without regrets just from building a railway?"

"When we are strong enough, and have fully mastered the technology and magic trees, and are able to traverse galaxies and wage interdimensional wars, then you will be able to see the real universe and myriad worlds created by our company."

Xu Tian's casually drawn-out vision of a vast universe left the viewers in the live stream completely stunned.

[Holy crap, streamer, you're not kidding me, we'll be able to fight our way to outer space in the future?]

I'm so envious! Just how big is this game? I hope that by the time I die, you've reached the interstellar age so I can see what aliens look like.

[Hey streamer, please, please give me a spot! I have a double degree in civil engineering, and I can still grind!]

With the roar of the train, the end of the construction project was not far away.

Xu Tian glanced at the coordinates, pushed the lever back to its original position, and the train came to a steady stop on the tracks with a screeching sound of brakes.

"Alright, everyone, the train can only go this far. The road ahead is still under construction, so we'll have to walk there."

Chapter 108 Pig Slayer is Back

Xu Tian pushed open the driver's seat door and jumped out.

Xu Tian calmly pulled out a diamond pickaxe that shimmered with purple light from his backpack, and then began to smash it against the several-ton steam locomotive that had just carried them at breakneck speed.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A soft thud.

After being hit by three pickaxes, the massive steam locomotive exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of white smoke.

Then, the palm-sized model train fell onto the tracks again.

Xu Tian stepped forward, bent down to pick it up, casually stuffed it back into his backpack, and then continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

There was a three-second silence in the live stream, after which the chat went completely wild.

【? ? ? 】

Am I blind, or has the world gone mad? A train weighing several tons, turned back to normal after just three taps?

[Newton: I can't stand this world for another second, let it be destroyed]

[By the way, Aibo, I have a question. When the game is released, will players still be the drivers? Wouldn't that waste a lot of players' time doing manual labor?]
