Chapter 1 Tree Chopping, Stone Brushing Machine, The Root of the Sky Island
Fang Yuan never expected that as a senior MC architect, he would fall down while repairing the main building in the server.
Although this is a VR version of MC, it is a game after all, so it should be able to be resurrected no matter what, right?
Yes, he was indeed resurrected, but he was resurrected on an island in the sky with no horizon in sight. The most important thing is that he could not exit the game from this island!
Exiting a VR game is very simple. Just pull off the VR helmet on your head. There is no difficulty at all.
But after Fang Yuan fumbled for a long time, he realized that there was nothing at hand that could be pulled off. Where was the helmet? Only the tall grass next to him could hold it.
"But... if this is not a game, what is this box?" In front of Fang Yuan, there was a box like an inventory floating in the box. He subconsciously wanted to click on it, but found that his hand went directly through it.
It's like he's still in the game.
But there is no such terrifying abyss-like height in the game!
"I've traveled through time!" Fang Yuan sighed, it's not bad, at least it's not a zombie apocalypse or a mysterious world, and it won't lead to death without a burial place just because he made a sound.
He is an old MC player and knows the characteristics of the original MC. As long as he does not seek death, it is actually unlikely that anything will happen to him.
"Then... let yourself survive first!" Fang Yuan sighed, then put away his inappropriate fantasies and observed the surrounding environment in a down-to-earth manner.
A very standard MC sky island, not the particularly magical single-block-changing sky island, nor the particularly deceptive and most difficult sky island in history, just the small L-shaped island with a tree and a box.
"Crunch!" A very clear sound came, and another densely arranged square box appeared in front of Fang Yuan, with seven rows of nine boxes in each row.
The top three rows are boxes, the bottom three rows are your backpack, and the bottom row is your shortcut bar.
"It's exactly the same as the game!" he muttered, observing the items in the box.
"A piece of ice, a bucket of lava, five loaves of bread, strange fungus, crimson fungus, mycelium, and two books?" Fang Yuan guessed what he was doing, and after putting all these things on himself, he knocked down the box.
"Da da da da!" He counted six times. Under his rapid tapping, cracks soon appeared in the box, and then it fell down and entered Fang Yuan's body without any stagnation.
"It is indeed the original version!" There was no real drop or similar mod effect. Fang Yuan found this box in his inventory.
Sky Island is a very strange place where all materials are scarce, so most of the materials need to be collected by himself.
But once the material collection system is implemented, this empty island will become very rich again, at least much richer than the original survival.
Fang Yuan observed the island - that is, lying on one end of the "L" shape and looking at the other end.
The entire island has six layers, each layer is made of pure soil, and the bottom is a layer of gray-black squares that appear to be bedrock.
"There are 5 layers of soil, and each layer is 48 pieces of soil. In other words, if I hollow out the entire island and leave only the bedrock, I can get 240 pieces of soil!" Fang Yuan smiled slightly, "Not a bad start!"
But he is not ready to start digging now. The first thing that needs to be done on the empty island is always to ensure its own survival. Other construction or transformation must come after this.
First, he had to solve his own feeding problem. The five loaves of bread in the box could only guarantee his survival within two to three days, so Fang Yuan had to find a way to survive in these short three days.
.
The famous writer Lu Xun once... Forget about persecuting Lu Xun. MC players once said that if you want to get rich, you must first plant trees.
No matter how it is born and started, a tree is always indispensable. If there is no tree, at least the original survival will be impossible.
"Ta-ta-ta!" Six more times, Fang Yuan knocked down the bottom block of the tree. He looked up at the big tree in front of him with some concern. It shouldn't fall down, right?
Although in the game Fang Yuan is a tough guy who can get a diamond in the game within ten minutes, in reality, he has to think about his own life.
If the tree fell down and he was accidentally hit, there would be a cliff next to him!
Fang Yuan was a man who cherished his life, so he quickly knocked down the seven pieces of wood one by one and broke them down into 28 wooden boards.
This in itself is the ability he possesses. These wooden boards were stacked into a group in his backpack, and then he grabbed them in his hand, pulled out four of them, and pressed them in place.
A one-meter-square wooden workbench with a nine-square grid on it appeared in his hand. This thing is the core of MC. No matter what kind of items and blocks they are, most of them must be synthesized through this workbench.
After the tree is cut down, the leaves will not disappear, they will disappear little by little, and there is a certain chance that some special drops will be regenerated.
This is also the purpose why Fang Yuan hurriedly assembled the workbench. One piece of wood can be synthesized into four planks, and three planks can be synthesized into six wooden steps.
The area of wooden steps is exactly the same as that of wooden boards, both are 1*1 square, but the volume is only one-half. It is one of the best flooring materials on the empty island.
In the middle of this "L" shaped island, there was a hole of about 16 cells, which was quickly paved with wooden steps by Fang Yuan. The island became a large 8*8 platform, about the size of a living room.
.
The next step is to wait for the tree crown above his head to disappear and drop saplings and apples so that he can proceed with the next step.
Of course, he was not idle now. Instead, he sat on the workbench, opened his backpack, and took out the two books in the box.
These two books are very popular. The appearance of the books in MC is just shining, and they seem to be enchanted books, but there is no specific enchantment shown, only two names.
"World Rescue Manual, Contact Person?" Fang Yuan looked at the words written on it and was confused.
Opening the "World Saving Manual", there is only one very short line in it: "Congratulations, you have become the owner of the gap in the world. Different worlds will be connected here. If you can save the world and be recognized by the world itself,
, you will get a special reward.”
"Similarly, if you fail to save the world, you will need to bear the impact of the failed world."
"Whether the linked door is hope or despair, it all depends on your thought!"
"Good luck to you, my successor!"
As the book was opened and the words inside shone one by one, the book turned into an ordinary book, making Fang Yuan grit his teeth.
This man behind the scenes is really not a human being. Just leave him in this empty world without giving him any benefits, and then put such a big burden on himself? Is this really appropriate?
After staring at the sky speechlessly for a long time, Fang Yuan could only continue flipping through the "Contacts". The name didn't look like a book, but more like an address book.
There is no text description in the book. There is only one person who keeps sending messages. The last message he sent was three days ago: "Hello? Hello??????? Bonjour? Привет?"
His head is like a German shepherd, but his name is "Robert Neville", which sounds like an Englishman or an American.
"Hello!" Fang Yuan didn't know how to talk to him, so he had to leave his answer below.
His avatar is a square man, but his name is his own name - Fang Yuan.
He had a hunch that this "Address Book" would be the thing he would use most in the future.
"What address book is the right one? Chat group!" Fang Yuan smiled and put it away and placed it in the last position of the shortcut bar so that he could pick it up and check it at any time.
It didn't take long. When he put down the book in his hand and stood up from the workbench, the leaves above his head had disappeared.
There were also some debris left on the wooden boards and grass in front of them, waiting for Fang Yuan to collect them.
"Good luck!" Fang Yuan's face was full of joy. He collected three apples and two saplings. In every sense, he became the European Emperor this time.
He planted the two saplings without any hesitation. Kongdao’s resources are scarce, so all resources must be used well. Even if there are a hundred saplings, Fang Yuan will plant them without hesitation. Kongdao needs the resources.
The quantity is quite terrifying.
"Gugu..." After working for a long time, he felt hungry in his belly, so he gnawed an apple, which increased his satiety level from not much to full.
"It's not bad. I don't feel thirsty. This may be the only good news!" Fang Yuan complained incidentally. It seems that this world has inherited the characteristics of the game and has not left anything disgusting such as hunger value and thirst value.
People's stuff.
Plant the two trees as far apart as possible, and make sure that both trees are in the center of the empty island, so that there will be no problem of saplings or apples falling into the void next time you cut down the trees.
"Next..." Fang Yuan sat on the workbench, looking at the sun in the sky, "Let's start painting the rocks!"
Readers who were Steve in their previous life should know that on an empty island, no matter what you do, you have to paint stones.
It was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, and he was painting stones. Usually, he would go to the group to find two permanent workers and instruct them to paint stones. Otherwise, he would make a simple pickaxe projector and use the button wizard to hang up and paint stones.
It's a pity that this is a real world, and Fang Yuan has no use for the above two. In order to survive on this empty island, he still needs to do many, many things by himself.
The stone brushing machine is something that every Sky Islander must learn, and Fang Yuan has his own experience.
A stone brushing machine, as the name suggests, is a machine that refreshes stones in a way that can make a lot of stones out of nothing.
The characteristic used by the stone brushing machine is actually the infinity between water and magma.
Although both can be consumed, they can flow downward indefinitely without consumption.
The flowing liquids will collide with each other to produce stones. This process is cost-free. As long as you have enough patience, you can fill the entire world with the excavated stones.
He only has a piece of ice and a bucket of magma. Once the stone brushing machine is placed incorrectly, whether the water disappears or the magma turns into obsidian, this is something he cannot accept.
So he first dug a two-square hole in the original grass, and then dug one end of the hole downward to form a very unique triangle.
Put the ice at one end of the pit and break it gently. The ice will turn into a block of water and flow into the deeper block along the hole.
The advantage of this is that the water will not emerge because the surrounding soil disappears, but will only flow into the hole steadily, avoiding the trouble caused by digging soil in the future.
Then, Fang Yuan took out the magma bucket, and the hot air rushed to his forehead, making his face turn red immediately.
"Hiss, it's so hot!" He was a little surprised. He usually couldn't feel the temperature while playing games, but now he actually felt the heat wave. If it were poured on a person...
Fang Yuan couldn't help but tremble, it was better not to have such thoughts.
But his work could not stop. He walked a few blocks in the parallel direction of the water flow and dropped magma on the edge of the island. Of course, he would not pour the magma into the void.
In games, you can play like this. Pour a bucket of magma and a bucket of water into the void to quickly create a stone pillar. This is much faster than a stone brush machine. After digging, you can go up through the water pillar, which is quite convenient.
But this is reality. Who knows if he can be resurrected after death? Fang Yuan is not prepared to make such an attempt.
So he put the magma down two spaces apart. There was a pit that had already been dug. The magma needed to flow to create a stone brushing machine, so it couldn't be a simple descending pit like water.
Soon the magma began to flow, and it slowly stopped when it hit the piece of soil in the middle. Fang Yuan took a deep breath, and the hot magma was flowing around his hand. It was a shiver to see whether it would succeed!
He dug up the soil under his feet, and then scratched at the block in front of him. Soon the soil broke into pieces and was sucked into his inventory. He left the hole directly with his hands.
If it gets touched by lava, death will really be imminent!
"Bah!" The sound of water and fire began to appear, and where Fang Yuan had just dug up the soil, a square stone appeared that seemed to be covered with traces of fragmentation.
"Yes!" Fang Yuan was overjoyed. As long as there is no problem with the stone brushing machine, other things will not be a problem!
What he needs now is to make a wooden pickaxe. In the MC setting, only pickaxes can dig stones, and a stone pickaxe requires three cobblestones to make.
So many people like to call wooden pickaxes: three frames of durability.
This means that as long as three stones are dug out, the wooden pickaxe has completed its mission.
Fang Yuan also knows this trick, but supplies are scarce on the empty island, so he won't do it.
He just used four planks to make the workbench and nine planks to make the wooden steps. Now he still has fifteen planks left in his hand.
Using two wooden boards to make four wooden sticks, and then using two wooden sticks and three wooden boards to make a wooden pickaxe, Fang Yuan jumped into the pit and started digging his first stone!
