Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 150 The Development of Village Exchanges

The area around the portal soon returned to calm, and Ran Xiao returned in her Phantom Wing.

At this moment, only the three of them and various monsters remained around the portal.

There were also the low-level undead players who were left behind, and Huan Ye, the player who was initially used for testing.

Unlike players with intermediate or low-level awareness, Huan Ye wasn't assigned any tasks, so when the monsters arranged for the players to leave, they didn't take him along.

At that moment, he was huddled together with three other people in the activity room.

Shi Qian meant that he should wait until he found the new portal before letting Ran Xiao release the edited video.

Lure all the players into the Frozen Dimension, and even if he opens a portal, nothing serious should happen.

After finding the portal, Shi Qian will have one or two of them ride the Phantom Wings there.

The specific choice has not yet been decided; it depends on the appearance of the portal.

So, things have quieted down around the underwater portal again.

However, four people are just enough to make a mahjong table.

Although there's no mahjong in Minecraft...

"Since we're free now, why don't we go into the portal and find the boss?"

"That works too. There's a bus and Xiao Si here at the entrance, but what if no one leaves a note if everyone goes?"

"Then I'll stay here. Going through the door makes me too dizzy, I can't stand it every time... I'd rather stay in the activity room that the boss specially built for us."

Finally, Mo Niao Ranxiao greeted Da Ba Xiao Si with Huan Ye and went inside to find Shi Qian, leaving Ke Cheng to guard the gate.

However, it seems no one remembers that Ke Cheng only went through the portal with them once...

"This thing can teleport?!"

"Yes, I've tested it, but it does cause bleeding, and it still hurts quite a bit..."

Fan Ting and Lan Yin huddled together, studying the village items they had recently acquired.

There's only one brewing station, and they cherish this unique priest.

They also successfully confirmed the respawn time of the zombie villager in the basement of the snow house. A new zombie villager can be produced every morning at 6:00 AM in game time, which is efficient enough for them.

The villager exchange is already taking shape; they have successfully developed ten types of blocks that can be used to provide villagers with jobs.

The problem is that some of the villagers spawned in the basement are mentally challenged; they can't do anything that the other villagers can do.

They had no idea about the villagers' reproductive mechanisms.

However, they did not lose any faith in the villagers.

Trading with villagers can yield many novelties.

A large portion of the content was something they had never seen before.

All sorts of strange new props and blocks, as well as items of different styles.

And now they have a stable source of enchanted diamond tools.

It must be said that among these villagers, only three types left the deepest impression on Lan Yin.

The first type is the priest, which cannot be replicated. They searched through all the available item blocks but couldn't find anything related to the brewing stand.

The second type is the arrow maker who uses an arrow-making table as a work block, and the enchanted bows and crossbows they produce are simply the best at range.

The third is the toolmaker who uses a forge as a work block; an enchanted axe can be used as a regular weapon.

Blue Seal initially thought that villagers wouldn't provide much of a boost to the player, until he traded an Enchanted Bottle for one from the priest.

The enchanted bottle is full of experience points; it's incredibly useful.

Then, they discovered that the tool maker was an extremely conscientious villager.

He's giving out enchanting tools!

Furthermore, this toolmaker gave Blueprint a hypothesis.

That is, since there are toolmakers, shouldn't there also be villagers who make weapons and armor?

However, he hasn't yet figured out what the working block is.

The extra villagers were all turned into toolmakers and arrow makers, since these two types of villagers were the most useful, second only to the priests.

The presence of farmers also gives players a new route: Mystery Stew.

They've figured out part of how to make the mysterious stew, and frankly, it works very well.

However, after seeing so many villagers with different professions, Blue Seal had a tiny bit of doubt about the priest's profession.

The reason is that the items he can exchange for are extremely rare.

Or rather, apart from those minerals and creature drops, they had never seen anything else.

Fluorite, Ender Pearl, Nether Wart, Enchanted Bottle.

These items have never appeared in the main world...

These things sound like products of another dimension, but neither of them have been seen in the two areas where the doors have been opened...

It's really hard not to associate him with the Great Demon, after all, only the brewing stand left behind by the Great Demon can make him appear.

Therefore, they were extremely cautious about this pastor.

I always observe unfamiliar items before using them.

After all, there are precedents of people who, out of ignorance, boldly showed off mysterious stews and ended up getting poisoned.

What if these items turn out to be an instant-exploding TNT...?

I really can't even imagine it.

However, before meeting the villagers, they never imagined that even stones and wool could come in so many varieties.

After discovering the enchanted bottle, Blue Seal hid the priest.

The villager exchange only offers nine professions, but that's enough to attract all sorts of players.

They just lack the ability to trade minerals...

However, the priests' mineral trading ability is currently not really useful to Blue Seal and the others, so they always exchange the minerals themselves and put them outside for interested players to exchange.

In the game, Blue Seal and his ilk are arguably the wealthiest group of private players.

...

The atmosphere in the main world has been relatively harmonious recently, because a large number of people were wiped out by the underwater portal, and the players are developing themselves after resurrecting.

It's still the same routine: mining, developing, sticking together for warmth, getting killed by monsters, and running away to a new place.

However, compared to before, this gathering place for non-guild players is somewhat unstable.

They were the same group that had been surrounded by the sophomores, juniors, and elementary school students.

After failing to reclaim their territory after several feints following their launch, they moved to a different location to gather players.

However, it wasn't too far from their original aerial fortress, and they planned to retake their old base once they had a sufficient number of players.

Being surrounded and killed by monsters was really too humiliating, and they all wanted to regain their pride.

Even if we don't wipe out the monsters completely, we should at least drive them out of the player's territory.

Anyway, the monsters are all there, and they hardly come out anymore. All we need to do is wait and see, gradually wearing down the monsters' teams that go out to fight the players each time.

Once the number of monsters has decreased, they will launch a full-scale attack, resulting in a very good plan for the players.

And they are carrying out their plan...
