Chapter 509: Chapter 492: Even Stealing the Ceiling???
âScratching the ground three feetâ, this is the true portrayal of the behavior of most players at this moment. fĐłeewŃbnoŃ”el.cÏm
For the first time, everyone found out how easy it is to âalter terrainâ and âmove mountains and fill the seaâ; itâs simply nothing compared to the sturdy houses in Metropolis and Night City, even the mountains here are like mud.
In the first ten minutes of the game, there were hardly any decent architectures.
Everyone was cutting trees, mining, and looking for foodâThere was a hunger value in survival mode.
A large number of players were somehow turned into hoarders, wanting to fill their backpacks with everything, without worrying about the weight.
This joyful atmosphere continued for 20 minutes.
There were no disputes or conflicts among the players.
When they met, they greeted each other; those who liked making friends gathered together and those who didnât chose their separate ways to continue their respective games.
Anyway, the world was big enough and the supplies were abundant, so they could move in any direction they wanted.
Until the sunset and night approached.
To adapt to the virtual worldâs game experience, the day and night alternation time was doubled.
Skeleton archers appeared.
It was fine for the players in teams. They had nothing to worry about. They swarmed up and chopped the skeleton with their swords.
But individual players were surely out of luck, especially those who encountered it for the first time.
Famous whiny anchor Nandong was happily cutting trees. When she heard a âswooshâ sound, she didnât get to react before an arrow hit her.
As she turned around, she saw a skeleton staring straight at her in the gloomy night.
Although Cloud Dream had made the skeletons less frightening as possibleâthe skeletons had a pure white body without any impurities, and only their eyes burned with a little phosphorescence. Compared to those sanity-dropping monsters in Terraria, these were simply cute.
But a skeleton was still a skeleton, and timid players would still be scared when they saw it.
âAh~â Nandong screamed and ran away.
But the skeleton archer shot another arrow, and she shuddered again. The force caused her body to sway severely.
Looking back, she saw the skeleton archer relentlessly chasing her.
âNo! Mom! Save me!â Nandong was so frightened that she spoke incoherently as she ran and shouted.
She just wanted to build a house to play; why did she have to be chased by a skeleton?!
So Nandong screamed and ran, while the skeleton chased and shot arrows at her back.
This silly girl, either out of fear or something else, kept running in a straight line, never turning a corner, and her life hung by a thread.
At this critical moment, the heroine finally arrived on the scene!
âHa!â Nishino Chizuru appeared suddenly with a stone sword in hand, slashing the skeletonâs head from underground.
Then, without stopping, she circled around the skeleton archer and continued to cut it with her sword.
In less than five seconds, she had taken care of the skeleton.
Nandong had run quite a distance away when she realized the attack had stopped. She turned to see a valiant girl, killing the skeleton with one strike of her sword.
And casually picking up the fallen bones from the ground and throwing them into her backpack.
Nandong finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest anxiously. Just as she was about to go over and make friends with her, a familiar sound reached her earsâ
âSwoosh!â
Chizuru was about to invite Nandong to her underground shelter when she saw Nandong scream âAh!â as an arrow pierced her head. Nandong fell to the ground, stiff, and disappeared.
Following the direction of the arrow, another skeleton archer emerged.
âAh!â Chizuru was a bit embarrassed, âIs this⊠mine?â
For solo players, during their first night, there was basically one archer for each one of them.
However, Chizuru had participated in the closed beta test, and as soon as night fell, she went underground, sealed the entrance of the hole, and didnât come out until she heard Nandongâs scream. Naturally, the skeleton archer could not find her.
As a result, Nandong ended up taking the arrow for herâŠ
Chizuru felt guilty, so she jumped back into her underground base, closed the surface, and sat down to operate the panel. She then jumped to the external link and entered Nandongâs live broadcast room.
In the room, she saw Nandongâs face full of grievances, while the audience appeared to be having a great laugh.
Actually, Chizuru wanted to laugh too.
But she held it back.
Contacting Nandong through the Live Streaming, she cordially invited: âDo you want to come to my place? Itâs quite spacious, you can rest if youâre tired, and itâs very safe.â
Nandong wanted to thank Chizuru for saving her, so she happily agreed, joined the team, and came to Chizuruâs underground shelter.
Just in case, Chizuru went out and killed that skeleton archer, then brought Nandong back.
This underground shelter didnât have anything particularly surprising; it was just a big square hole in the ground with torches on the walls and a crafting table, furnace, and chest in the corner.
And a bed that looked very soft.
The live streaming room immediately buzzed up:
âWhatâs the deal with that bed?!â
âSo sinister!â
âNandong! Beware of bad guys!â
âSpeaking of which, does this room even count as big? Isnât it just a grave?â
Nandong didnât mind, but Chizuru wasnât convinced. She pulled Nandong to a corner and knocked on a piece of floor and said, âLet me show you whatâs big! Nandong, let me take you on a tour of my basement!â
Nandong stood on the edge, looked down at the bottomless vertical shaft, and unconsciously took a step back: âNo, no need⊠This place is good enough.â
âHow can that be! Iâm telling you, thereâs a lot of good stuff down there. Iâve already dug over a hundred meters deep. As long as we avoid the zombiesâŠâ
âZombies?!!â Nandong unconsciously raised her voice and took another step back in resistance.
âItâs okay, when we hear the zombiesâ sounds, we just need to move back a bit and block the path.â Queenie grabbed Nandong.
âCanâŠcan we not go down?â Nandong asked cautiously.
âOf course, we donât have to.â Queenie responded generously, âBut gold mines and diamond mines are all underground, we will have to dig eventually.â
Obviously, Queenie hadnât given up: âLook, if we go now, at least I can accompany you!â
Queenie unabashedly showed her true intentions: going down the mine with a timid beautiful girl was like going to watch a horror movie together, achieving the same effect.
Such an opportunity was hard to come by!
Seeing Nandong still hesitating, Queenie showed her backpack: âLook, I have 58 torches here, we can put more torches, so it wonât be dark at all!â
Under Queenieâs persistent invitation, Nandong finally agreed and followed her down the narrow ladder.
The completely vertical passage made her walk cautiously for fear of falling accidentally.
Finally, they reached the end of the ladder and found a very spacious mine, but the torchlight was limited, and the space in the distance was still pitch black.
Nandong plucked up her courage, took out her wooden pickaxe, and prepared to dig some materials with Queenie.
But before they could take any action, a chilling growl came from below.
âAh~~~â Nandong immediately trembled in fear, dropped her wooden pickaxe, turned around, and hugged Queenie tightly. She buried her head in Queenieâs embrace, closed her eyes, and didnât dare to look at anything.
âHeheâŠâ Queenie couldnât help but laugh, but soon realized that Nandong was still live streaming. She quickly stopped her lewd laugh and patted Nandongâs shoulder gently, âItâs okay, donât be afraid, the zombie is several meters below us, and Iâve already blocked the path; it canât come over.â
Although when Queenie was digging earlier, she accidentally dug through the mine and almost had her face screamed at by the zombie. She was so scared that her heart nearly jumped out of her throat.
But now, looking at the zombie again, it seemed to have its cute side!
Nandong was badly frightened, her legs trembling, and if it hadnât been for holding onto Queenie, she would have probably sat down on the ground.
Queenie thought that if she could go down and kill the zombie at this moment, Nandong would probably worship her instantly.
But the problem wasâŠshe was also afraidâŠ
In the end, amidst a pile of comments in the live broadcast room like, âI get it! Letâs invite the goddess to the mine!â Queenie half-supported and half-carried Nandong away from the zombie.
After recovering, Nandong finally began trying to mine under Queenieâs guidance and quickly felt the fun of opening a blind boxâ
âThereâs coal here!â
âCopper mine! I got copper!â
âYay! I have an iron pickaxe now! Efficiency has greatly improved!â
âAh ah ah! Gold! Itâs gold!â
Watching Nandongâs continuous surprises, Queenieâs tinge of guilt vanished, and they both happily started mining.
UntilâŠthey encountered a zombie again.
Visibly, Nandongâs body stiffened, but at least this time she turned around and ran, without dropping her iron pickaxe.
Queenie quickly ran over and, with a series of quick moves, sealed the hole with dirt blocks once again.
Afterward, the two quickly left the area.
âShall we go back?â Nandong took a break and suggested.
She felt that she needed some sunlightâŠ
Queenie agreed: âYeah, letâs go. Weâve dug up so much stuff, itâs time to store it in the chest.â
So, the two girls returned the way they came, climbing up the completely vertical shaft.
With an experienced demeanor, Queenie confidently invited Nandong to play together, âNandong, letâs build a house together? Iâve saved a lot of materials; we can build a luxury villa! We can also plant a field outside the villa. Iâve saved quite a few wheat seeds.â
âHmm, okay.â Playing with Queenie, Nandong was also very happy.
Although Queenie was a bit mischievous, she was not malicious. She was more like a friend joking, which made Nandong feel very close.
âNot only will we raise cows but also chickens. This way, we wonât lack food, and we can eat both meat and vegetablesâŠâ
Queenie was daydreaming about the beautiful life while climbing up, until half of her body emerged from the hole and entered the secret base againâ
Suddenly, she froze in place.
âWhatâs wrong?â Nandong looked at Queenie with confusion, as half of her body was sticking out of the hole, while the other half remained stationary on the ladder.
Queenie didnât respond.
âQueenie?â Nandong called again.

Unexpectedly, Queenie suddenly shouted in angerâ
âWho did this!!!â
Queenie climbed out of the hole in a rage.
Nandong followed, puzzled, only to find that her secret base had turned into an ordinary dirt pit.
There was no bed, no crafting table, no furnace, and the chest for storing supplies was gone too.
Even the torches on the walls were gone!
In other words, Queenieâs belongings were all gone.
But that wasnât the most outrageous part, the most outrageous thing wasâ
The ceiling was gone too!!
âWas thisâŠrobbed?â Nandong was a bit confused.
What kind of thief would steal even the mud ceiling???
Queenie and Nandong didnât know that while they were happily mining in the underground cave, chaos was rapidly spreading on the surface.
In just less than an hour, their world had quickly ended its beautiful pastoral era, and enteredâ
The Era of Conflict!
