Chapter 510: Chapter 493: Catastrophe
Camille Victoria was filled with anger and was about to start gathering people.
Naturally, it was because her ranch had also suffered a devastating attack that caused the veteran anchor to be so upset.
She originally only invited familiar friends, and in the end, there were only six people who joined.
Camille Victoria thought to herself that playing with close friends would be more relaxing for everyone, and she wouldnât have to work too hard to coordinate and control the situation.
Moreover, since everyone was so familiar with one another, the live broadcast would not be affected.
Thus, feeling justified, she invited her five friends, including Xiaomei, to join the Public World and build houses together.
Why the Public World?
Of course, because itâs lively with many people! Meeting and playing games with strangers is also a happy thing, right?
Thatâs how she initially met Shuihua in âTraveler of the Windâ and became good friends.
However, this choice led to severe consequences this timeâ
Under the guidance of Camille Victoria, the Closed Beta Test player, her friends quickly got the hang of it and built small houses before nightfall.
Since they had a clear goal of building a âranch,â they specifically searched for a location with a water source and built their base alongside a river.
While building their houses, they also constructed cow and sheep pens.
Two people were specifically in charge of farming; one was cultivating farmland along the river, while the other was clearing grass and collecting wheat seeds.
Camille Victoria,âthe only one who had participated in the closed beta, took house building seriously, but had not studied the game mechanics thoroughly. She wasnât a qualified farmer and only knew how to plant crops along the riverside.
She still didnât know that with one water source, itâs possible to cultivate a 9Ă9 farmland.
The secrecy requirements during the closed beta greatly limited the exchange of information among players.
Everyone only knew their own little tricks, unaware of others, making it a bunch of scattered puzzles, filled with limitations.
Super Tomato, who was most enthusiastic about exploring various game mechanics, possessed very one-sided skills and had a severe bias towards certain aspects.
Xiaomei saw a teammate collecting seeds while clearing grass and asked Camille Victoria in confusion, âWhy do wheat seeds drop from the grass?â
Camille Victoria blinked: âXiaomei, youâve found a blind spot.â
She realized that during the closed beta, she naturally accepted this setting without feeling anything was wrong.
Now that Xiaomei had brought it up, she realized: Yeah, why do wheat seeds drop from grass? Shouldnât it be grass seeds?
However, this question didnât bother her for long, as night soon approached.
Although they had built houses and could have stayed inside without coming out, they still left their homes to cooperate and fight against skeleton archers.
In the process, they suffered a tragic death eight times.
Fortunately, Camille Victoria had experience and reluctantly killed a sheep and crafted a bed to place inside the house, allowing everyone to set their spawn points.
Otherwise, some people would have to return to the initial spawn point.
As for why six people died eight timesâŠ
Itâs because one unlucky person contributed an astonishing five deaths.
There were only four skeleton archers in total!
This player averaged 1.25 deaths per archer and was completely devastated.
After a lot of effort, they managed to deal with the skeleton archers that appeared one after another and used the six bones they dropped to make 18 bone powders, which they promptly scattered in the wheat field to harvest their first batch of wheat.
Afterwards, they continued to search for cows and sheep throughout the night and lured them into their pens using wheat.
They had thought about using force before, but cows were impossible to push and struggling sheep were too strong, so they had to give up due to low efficiency.
With wheat, things became much easier.
On the second day, they ran around the area, gathering every cow and sheep they could see and lured them into their pens.
They filled the small cow and sheep pens, and even the chickens they caught on the way were thrown into the sheep pen.
Before the second night arrived, the earliest batch of wheat in the fields had matured successfully.
They left only a small portion to make bread, and the rest was fed to the cows and sheep.
Then, just after a few seconds, one after another, little cows and lambs appeared next to their parentsââbouncingâ into the world. This harmonious, simple, and efficient method could be considered animal reproduction.
âYay!â
âGreat success!â
âA miracle of life!â
The six of them were thrilled, celebrating excitedly as their farm began to take shape.
But at that momentâtheir happiest momentâ the attack arrived.
A group of more than ten people took advantage of the night and raided their ranch.
These people didnât attack them directly but swung their iron pickaxes, frantically mining everything in their field of view.
Camille Victoria and her friends were shocked and hurriedly made weapons to fight back.
However, since they were solely focused on construction, they only had wooden and stone weapons that were no match for the terrorists wearing iron armor and wielding iron shields.
The wooden swords barely inflicted any damage, let alone causing the opponentsâ blood to drop, or even reducing the durability of their shields!
They were completely powerless.
They could only watch as these people flooded in, destroying their houses, farmland, cow pens, sheep pensâŠeverything.
They didnât even attack them directly, forcing them to watch helplessly as their self-built homeland turned into a wasteland.
What enraged Camille Victoria the most was that all these people had iron helmets covering their heads. Some didnât even have iron pants, but prioritized getting an iron helmet, obviously not wanting to be recognized.
As a result, it was impossible to tell their appearance, and she even didnât know who to hold a grudge against.
As for their names?
[One Cake], [Two Cake], [Three Cake]âŠ[One Tiao], [Two Tiao], [Three Tiao]âŠ
All are Mahjong tile names!
They canât be blamed for holding a grudge against the Bandits, right?!
In the end, the group quickly finished their destruction, and before running away, they didnât forget to shout, âSister Camille Victoria! Iâm your fan!!â
That shout completely broke Camille Victoriaâs defenses:
âFan your mom! I donât have a fan like you!â
âDonât let me find out who you are! Or youâre dead!â
âDonât go if you have the guts!!!â
But they ran off at lightning speed, disappearing without looking back.
Camille Victoria was so furious her chest was about to explode. If the psychological endurance was worse, quitting the game on the spot wouldnât be out of the question, and she definitely wouldnât feel like playing the game properly anymore.
The two girls in the team were also a little intimidated, âShall we go back to our Personal World and play?â
âNo way! Isnât that like admitting defeat to them?â Camille Victoria wasnât easy to defeat, âI wonât accept it!â
She immediately started recruiting people in the live broadcast room and made up her mind to never stop until she had recruited a hundred people!
Then build the house to the sky!
She wants to have farms, ranches, and villas, leaving only one path up and down, and dozens of muscular men and women dressed in armor guarding the entrance. She doesnât believe that anyone can still cause destruction like this!
Moreover, just in case, when recruiting people, she still followed the ranking of her hardcore fans, and invited them one by one in order.
Determined to eliminate bad elements!
Shuihua, who had finished school, and Queenie, who was staring at the disappearing ceiling, were both pulled by Camille Victoria to boost their momentum.
Nandong also joined them.
Shuihua originally wanted to play the game alone, but seeing Camille Victoriaâs tragedy in the live broadcast, she couldnât bear it and accepted the invitation to help.
While Camille Victoria was pulling people, she was also planning ambushes: âAt that time, we will only use ten people to build the ranch, and the rest of us will hide underground and dig mines, creating good weapons and armor. When these people come again, Iâll break a glass as a signal!â

âOur army will emerge from underground, capturing all these people alive!!â
âAfter seeing their true colors, weâll kill them all and loot their supplies!â
âLet them know that thereâs a price for destruction!â
But soon, Shuihua interrupted her daydream: âItâs not likely to work with an ambush.â
âWhy?â Camille Victoria unwillingly.
âBefore I logged in, I had seen that the live anchors with bigger names on various live streaming platforms were basically attacked during your attack. Many anchors were like yours, and all their efforts were wiped out.â
Hearing this, Camille Victoria hadnât said anything, but Nandong widened his eyes on the side, and then immediately apologized to Queenie in a low voice with a guilty face.
âSorry, it seems I got you involved.â
âNever mind.â Queenie shook her head, not minding at all.
In fact, she realized long ago that if there were no live broadcast rooms to guide her, how could anyone easily find an underground shelter?
âAll the anchors?â Camille Victoria was shocked.
âWell, not all of them.â Shuihua added: âThere are also some small anchors, with low popularity, and no one caresâŠâ
âOn the other hand, there is no problem with Super Tomato. He started by assembling a large team of 108 people. Wherever they went, they just pushed everything aside, so those who tried to cause trouble had to walk around them.â
Camille Victoria was silent for a moment but soon cheered up again: âNo ambush, no ambush, just do our own thing.â
Camille Victoria then raised her arms and shouted-
âFriends! Our goal is a large-scale project, I call it â [Sky Garden]!â
âA manor in the sky! All of us can build our own houses up there, and there will be endless cattle, sheep, and grains!â
âBut before that, we must dig down! We need stronger armor and weapons! Only with powerful enough weapons can we preserve the fruits of our labors!â
The hundred or so people gathered around raised their stone or iron pickaxes in agreement with Camille Victoria.
These were the hardcore fans she pulled in, of course they gave her face.
In their own words: Who can bully our anchor?
So, the large-scale digging movement began.
Camille Victoria, Xiaomei, and Queenie subconsciously gathered around Shuihua. Wherever Shuihua dug, they followed suit and dugâŠ
Among the many anchors, there is a special case.
Yi.
His uniqueness lies in the fact that he didnât build a base at all.
From the moment he logged into the Public World, he chopped down a few trees and punched a few cattle and sheep to gather food before burying his head and digging down.
Even the title of the live broadcast room was changed to [Gold Miner].
No matter how you look at it, Yi was a closed beta test player, and he was very efficient. Besides, he had no fear of the underground mines whatsoever.
By the time he had dug to the zombies, he already had an iron sword in his hand. He easily killed the zombies with terrain advantage and continued digging for gold deep underground.
More than half an hour passed, and he had mined a long way underground.
As a result, when someone tried to catch him through the live broadcast screen to visit him, they couldnât tell where he was at all.
Not to mention ill-intentioned players, even the fans who had watched the entire live broadcast and Yi himself didnât know where he had ended upâŠ
