"Your humor is even higher than mine." After a moment of silence, Number 42 spoke slowly, his tone full of distrust.

Think about it too.

Not to mention the record that the world's first person can't challenge 48 million times.

Just a random challenge, none of the 48 million ordinary people can succeed, and at this time, a person said that he can not only succeed, but also increase the difficulty by a hundred times and succeed fiercely.

If you don't get scolded, Shar Pei is already considered to be kind to others.

Number 42 was clearly amiable, for after a moment of surprise, there was a hint of childlike coaxing in his tone.

"A, my friend, you're really awesome...... I'm sorry I didn't hold back, but I can guarantee that this mockery of the savior won't happen a second time, and now I should give you more courage, come on, you must be the strongest player I've ever seen! ”

Ignoring No. 42's hard laughter, Xu Mu quickly started to act.

Raise your legs and go straight forward, walk to a square tree, and start masturbating without saying a word.

As long as you have played MC for a while, you should have heard of this sentence.

If you want to be rich, you must first pick up trees.

As a major consumer of consumables in MC, trees are very versatile.

A large amount of wood is consumed to build houses, make wooden weapons, make torches, make charcoal, make gates, make fences, and so on.

Of course, it has a more critical purpose.

Make a workbench.

The workbench is arguably the most central gameplay in Minecraft.

In this world where everything is in its most primitive form, players can make almost any items they want.

The player will initially carry a small crafting table, with a space capacity of only 2x2 squares, and can only do some of the simplest wood and stone work.

If you want to be more advanced, you need to use the upper workbench.

The space capacity of the workbench has been expanded by a circle, which is a 3*3 nine-square grid.

Players can use their imagination to place the corresponding starting materials in nine slots and create the corresponding items.

The first step of Xu Mu's action was naturally to make a vital workbench.

Unlike in the original game, the frequency of freehand tree picking in the dungeon world is slower and takes longer.

It takes about 20 strokes with your bare hands to knock a log off a tree.

After picking it up, Xu Mu quickly opened the small workbench that came with him and disassembled a log into four wooden blocks.

Then put all four compartments of the small workbench on wooden blocks.

The tooltip on the right will pop up with a new pattern square.

It was a dark brown block with spots, but because the pixels were too pasty, Xu Mu couldn't see what this workbench looked like even in the dungeon world.

After confirming the production, just take out the workbench and place it on the ground.

"Huh?" Number 42 let out a cry of surprise.

He looked at the chronograph panel.

From the time Xu Mu started to act to the landing of the workbench, a total of 19 seconds had passed.

In the more than 48 million dungeon records before that, it took the fastest player nearly 5 minutes to figure out the workbench.

Although the workbench is not difficult to make, a log can be disassembled into 4 pieces of wood, and then 4 pieces of wood are stuffed into the temporary workbench in one go, and the finished product can be obtained.

But here's the thing.

How did he know......

In the 42nd's own data database.

In the first 48 million quest attempts, about 70% of players didn't discover the small workbench panel for the first time until half an hour after the start of the game.

Of the players who have already found the workbench, only 28.3% of them realized that this thing can help them survive in this world after opening the small workbench for the first time.

In the end, only 0.96% of players will land a finished workbench after opening it for the second time.

And these players are all world No. 1 in different periods.

If you are an ordinary player, I am afraid that you will not be able to toss the finished workbench all day.

But what about Xu Mu?

Xu Mu started the game directly with the tree, and then opened the small workbench and made the finished product in one go.

It was as if there was a right answer in front of him......

"Your talent seems to be a bit unexpected." Number 42's tone was not as frivolous as it had just been.

Originally, in His opinion.

Xu Mu is just one of the 48 million players who have reached the top, just like other world No. 1s.

But now that the workbench was completed in only 19 seconds, 42 saw something different.

"However, it is too early to say this, and it is still impossible to find and defeat the ender dragon in an hour." Number 42 thought.

He also didn't know what the final answer would be to this quest, as he hadn't seen any player achieve the Stealth Achievement.

But he's seen countless records of regular playthroughs.

In those playthrough records, the items you need to prepare to defeat the ender dragon are very complicated to carry out alone.

If you have to use an analogy, it's like building a computer from scratch.

But the parts in the computer, the chips, and even the screws, all need to be made, and there are no ready-made ones.

There is still a lot of demand for every material.

Therefore, it is necessary to start assembling this series of machines that can produce screws, parts, and chips.

Xu Mu is currently making a workbench in 19 seconds, but the total progress is only a screw on the machine that makes accessories.

It's too far, too far.

Xu Mu didn't know what kind of shock No. 42's mental activity had just passed.

The moment he put down the workbench, he began to race against time to bury himself in a new round of tool making.

In MC, there is a setting where there are monsters.

Since there are monsters, players naturally have weapons and tools to match.

The tools with the worst properties are made from wood.

This is followed by stonework, then copper, then iron, and finally the ultimate weapon crafted from the Diamond series.

Of course, if you want to beat the ender dragon more consistently, it's best to enchant the diamond artifact again.

However, these are useless to Xu Mu, he only needs the most primitive tools.

I got up again and went to the tree, and after collecting about three or four logs, I made them into blocks and sticks.

Then, place two sticks in the lower two squares in the center of the nine-square grid.

Arrange the three pieces of wood towards the upper left corner of the grid.

The tooltip on the right side shows the pattern of the [Axe].

After confirming the production, Xu Mu successfully harvested the first wooden axe.

Then, Xu Mu did the same, placing two wooden sticks at the bottom and a wooden block at the top.

[Congratulations on crafting item: Wooden Shovel!] 】

Then arrange the sticks and blocks on the workbench in a T-shape.

[Congratulations on crafting item: Wooden Pickaxe!] 】

Of course, if the player is to start the game normally, more tools will be needed.

However, for Xu Mu, these three weapons were enough.

He switched the wooden axe from his inventory and hurried under another tree.

Cut!

Although it is a wooden axe, the sharpened face of the axe is much stronger than an angular square hand.

The efficiency of felling has also been reduced from more than 20 times with bare hands at the beginning, to only 10 times to remove a log.

More than double the efficiency!

After chopping for a full five minutes, dozens of logs were collected in the backpack, and Xu Mu gave up.

No. 42, who continued to watch from the sidelines, has also slowly stabilized from the initial surprise.

Because he found that what Xu Mu was doing was not much different from the other players who entered this dungeon.

The first thing they did after acquiring the axe was to cut wood, and then they began to try to use it to build a house for themselves.

Human beings' obsession with housing is too deep.

"Presumably, this kid should also be preparing to build a house, looking at his movements, or do you want to build a big house? It took more time to collect wood than 67% of players in the same period. Number 42 thought.

According to the records, 67% of the players only cut a few times to about two minutes, collected a dozen pieces of wood, and were attracted to other animals not far away, and then started hunting for food.

This kid is tireless.

It's a pity that he can't prompt Xu Mu.

Otherwise, No. 42 will definitely let Xu Mu build a matchbox-sized house, which is enough to live.

After all, in the setting of this dungeon, as long as the player can lock himself in a fully enclosed area and close the door, he will not be invaded by monsters.

It has nothing to do with the size of the house.

"However, if I need to remind him to find a more convenient way, it means that he is not a qualified savior." Heart Road No. 42.

But the next moment, Xu Mu's actions surprised No. 42.

After collecting dozens of logs, he didn't start building a house.

Instead, he switched tools, held the wooden pickaxe he had just made, and began to dig three feet into the ground!

Dig down!

The reason why MC has been popular for a long time and has been prosperous for a long time is because its degree of freedom is too high.

Not only can the player move on the ground, but they can even dig into the soil under their feet from any position with the tools in their hands.

What's more, the Underworld is as rich as the Underworld!

There are many valuable material yields that can only be obtained in the Underworld.

"Stop! You idiot! If you dare to go to the underworld in a pauper's costume now, you're going to die! Number 42 roared in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't say it.

He found out.

This stinky boy has a hand in torturing the audience.

Previously, other players, no matter how messy they were, were limited to the ground.

Well, the truth is, judging by the previous record.

Up to 100% of the people did not attempt to dig underground in the first half hour.

This kid is good, he hasn't got all the equipment yet, and he started digging directly into the ground in the first 5 minutes.

Although MC is a survival game, it is given time for players to build and develop during the day, and there are no monsters.

At night, monsters will emerge from various holes that lead to the surface and attack the player.

This is limited to the surface.

And underground, dim and dark, all kinds of monsters will exist in any corner.

And, something more terrible than monsters - the abyss.

The underground is not all rocky, but there is a chance that there will be large cavities.

If the player is stepping on a hole in the ground at this time, once hollowed out, the whole person will fall directly and then fall to death.

"According to the logs, about 0.013% of players fall to their deaths while digging holes, and hopefully you won't be one of them." Number 42 thought to himself.

But soon, he discovered that Xu Mu was different from other players.

When it's time for other players to explore the Underworld, they will dig straight down with a shovel.

They were unaware of the danger until they fell.

But Xu Mu's excavation method is different.

He never dug the stone that stood directly below him.

Instead, go forward and dig down in a stepped pattern.

Dig out the next block, go down again, and continue exploring.

In this way, even if a hole is dug in the ground.

The others are still standing on the upper level of rock, and they will definitely not fall by digging through the hollow cold.

"This kid is quite smart...... No. 42 was made to cry and laugh by Xu Mu.

You say he's cowardly, he's reckless.

Start plowing the ground in the first five minutes.

You say he's reckless, when he digs down, he will dig steps for himself, and he will take a step by step.

After a while, Xu Mu really dug a hole.

I continued to dig to the side for a while, and found a place on higher ground to fall.

Not far ahead, a lighting torch was embedded in the wall, illuminating the dark cave with some light.

"I'll see...... This torch is supposed to be left by Player 21786319. This is not a secret, and it does not have much impact on the customs clearance of the dungeon, and No. 42 spoke: "It's a pity that I couldn't clear the customs in the end and died at the hands of the ender dragon." ”

"Then I'll be silent for him." Xu Mu said casually, and walked straight to the wall to take down the torch.

"However, this player seems to be a very beautiful girl. So beautiful that I still have some impressions of her. ”

"Then there will be a second of silence." Xu Mu held a torch low and searched around the wall in a carpet style.

"What are you looking for?" No. 42 was very interested in Xu Mu's unexpected actions at every step.

"Look for iron ore."

"You know about iron ore?" Number 42 said in amazement.

"You seem to like to talk nonsense, there are a lot of survival dungeons, and the way of expression is relatively uniform, and it's no secret that iron ore can make tools, and players who have just entered the dungeon as an adult know it." Xu Mu showed a look of contempt.

"Well, it's the first time I've been scolded by a player, and it's pretty fresh." No. 42 laughed, and then said: "Aren't you afraid of encountering monsters, you will come down directly with your bare hands, and in this dim terrain, you can't run away if you suddenly encounter it." ”

"Then kill them all." Xu Mu didn't care.

The monster difficulty of the MC is really not too high.

And he knows the attack methods of each monster by heart, and he is not afraid at all.

"I'm pretty confident." No. 42 Le Road.

But fortunately, this cave did not encounter monsters, and it also saved Xu Mu a lot of time.

After another two minutes, No. 42 warmly reminded.

"My friend, I have to remind you that you have wasted 10 minutes of your life, and you have not done anything so far...... I mean, after you've made the workbench and tools, you haven't made any progress. In terms of progression, you have been surpassed by 89% of the players. And there are 5 ...... left before you fail the challenge Hey boy! Are you missing something? ”

Number 42's voice suddenly cut off.

Because he saw that Xu Mu was holding a torch, and gorgeously ignored the pile of cube ores dotted with sky blue that passed by him.

Diamond Mine!

It is a top-level material in MC.

The tools are so easy to use that they only take one time to make an axe to chop down a tree, and one thing to make a pickaxe to mine! The collection efficiency is greatly improved.

Making armor is equivalent to an extra life, and it won't lose blood even if it is beaten when encountering low-level monsters.

It can be described as an all-round invincible material!

I didn't expect this kid to be so lucky, and he encountered a wild diamond mine for the first time.

Once this is missed, it will be a loss of 100 million.

Number 42 had to give him a little help.

And Xu Mu's next sentence directly made No. 42 speechless for a while.

"Garbage, don't." Xu Mu continued to go deep into the ground without looking back.

Number 42: "......"

The book uses the pre-1.8 speedrun method, and the props and equipment are all used in the pre-1.8 version (because the player base before this version should be the largest, and it is also the version that old players are most familiar with.) Later, after MC was sold to Microsoft and NetEase developed a pirated mobile game, the popularity dropped a lot)

Therefore, the two-minute speedrun that can only be done in the subsequent version is not shown in the book, this kind of TAS racing is too fast, and it also needs to use a series of preparations such as seeds, backboards (back maps), etc., but loses the meaning of display, purely for the sake of being fast and fast.
