Chapter 40 Discovering the Village (Seeking Favorites and Recommendations!)
"Strange, there isn't much Sugarcane by this River…" Fang Bie casually broke off a Sugarcane, put it in his Mouth, and bit down. The sweet and crystalline taste spread from his teeth throughout his entire oral cavity.
He walked along this River for a long time, but didn't see anything particularly special or worth him taking action for. Fang Bie couldn't help but feel that today's choice of Road seemed somewhat wrong.
If he had gone towards the Grassland now, perhaps he would have already been driving two Sheep back Home. As long as he made some modifications to the fence he mentioned before, he could make a Sheep Pen.
And as long as Sheep are fed Wheat, they will breed, and soon a Lamb will be born. Whether it's killing them for Mutton or shearing Wool, both are good Gains.
Fang Bie glanced at the Sky again. At this Time, the Sun had not yet reached the middle of the Sky, and he hadn't spent half of his Time. He should still be able to walk a certain Distance further.
Since he had already chosen this Road, then he would go all the Way to the end. It's impossible to have Gains every moment. Having losses and Gains is the true Life.
Fang Bie continued walking forward. He wanted to see if this River could give him a bit of a Surprise. Although, in his Memory, he could clearly recognize that there weren't many noteworthy Supplies beside the River.
However, even if he came back from that World, the entire Base was in a state of disrepair and waiting to be rebuilt. Theoretically, even if he dug up some Soil and took it back, it would be useful. He didn't need to worry about not finding anything good.
"If it's really the most initial Version, then besides Sugarcane, there really doesn't seem to be anything particularly special by the River?" After searching for a while, Fang Bie also decided on the Thought that he would return after a certain Time.
He wasn't a Child. Of course, he knew that being stubborn for a moment wouldn't allow him to obtain more Things. On the contrary, it would waste his limited Time.
He decided to go back. Following the River also had a benefit, which was that he wouldn't lose his Direction Home. Now it was close to noon. He had spent half of his Time on the Way, and besides finding a few Sugarcane along the Way, he hadn't gained much more.
His previous annoyance wasn't without reason. It was really because his previous outings had all brought him some relatively important or praiseworthy Items.
Whether it was the Bow and Arrow and Bone obtained from killing the Zombie Skeleton, or obtaining Beef and Mutton, these could all be considered Necessities.
Fang Bie narrowed his Eyes and carefully scanned his surroundings. There really wasn't anything else. He had already walked out of the Forest where he lived, and arrived at a Grassland dotted with a few Trees.
Fang Bie realized at this Time why he always felt that this World was a bit off.
Although the MC World was very beautiful and very magnificent, it was, after all, just a Data World constructed by Imagination. Everything had a Fixed Number.
Compared to those bizarre and diverse Real Worlds, the MC World, which only possessed some basic Elements, would only give people a sense of Freshness at the beginning. For the rest of the Time, more of it was probably endless Emptiness.
Fang Bie himself also knew that the Motivation he generated in this World was more Curiosity and Freshness. But this wasn't the Motivation for a Person to live. If he really stayed in such a monotonous and boring World for a long Time, would he go crazy?
"It seems these Teleportation Portals are really Necessary Items…" Fang Bie muttered to himself. Was it because this World itself was exceptionally monotonous that Teleportation Portals connecting to other Universes appeared?
He seemed to have understood a bit of the true Meaning of the Teleportation Portal's existence. And it was at this moment, on his Way Home, that he saw a Color different from other Things on the Grassland.
It was the Color of Cobblestone!
Fang Bie suddenly turned his head. After setting up a simple Mark by the Riverside, he immediately ran towards that Direction.
If he hadn't seen wrongly, that seemed to be a Building, a Building that only Humans could make.
Because ordinary Materials couldn't have this kind of complex artificial hammering Trace. Only People like them could knock Stone into Cobblestone.
Fang Bie sprinted all the Way. Soon he arrived in front of this Building. And other Buildings on this Land also came into his Sight at this Time.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" Fang Bie panted heavily. This was the first Time he had run so fast since coming to this World.
He himself hadn't expected that this Body actually possessed such great Strength. The Distance from the Riverside to the Village was also a thousand meters, but he had actually run there in just a few dozen seconds.
He guessed correctly. In MC, apart from the Buildings built by the Player themselves, the few Buildings that could use this special Material were only Temples, Dungeons, and Villages.
Fang Bie had already thought of such a Problem at the beginning, so he ran over quickly, mainly to confirm whether there were any People in this Village.
Sure enough, as he expected, after he arrived at the Village, in this Area, he saw People who were somewhat different in Appearance from him, and whose Bodies were more like they were made of Blocks, walking in the Village.
They saw Fang Bie who had come from afar, but they didn't show much reaction, as if they had seen a Stone. Square Headedly, they turned back to what they were doing.
Some Villagers were doing simple Work in the Field, harvesting and clearing. Some Villagers were taking care of the surging Lava in the Smithy.
And some Villagers were still tidying up the Books on the Bookshelf in the Study in the Village. Apart from looking a bit Square, their Appearance was more like some Robots with simple AI.
Fang Bie knew that his guess was correct. Rather than saying they were People, it was better to say they were some Machines that could move. This also explained the Origin of those Villager Zombies.
Although this World looked absurdly ridiculous, everything had an explanation. Fang Bie seemed to have grasped a bit of the Mystery in it.
However, he didn't stay in the Village for long. Instead, he took out a Shovel and shoveled out a withered yellow Road on the Grassland. (In Versions after 1.9, right-clicking the Ground with a Shovel will shovel out a Road)
The Durability of the Shovel in his hand was also being rapidly consumed. When he shoveled this Road to the Riverside, the Durability of the Shovel was already only less than 10% left.
And the Sun was slowly tilting towards the West. Fang Bie rubbed his somewhat shriveled Stomach. He had actually walked for a whole morning without realizing it, and hadn't replenished any Food.
This World had Hunger Attribute. After he felt his Stamina rapidly declining, he hurriedly took out a Bowl of Mushroom Stew made last night from his Backpack and quickly stuffed it into his Mouth.
Then, he took out the Workbench from his Backpack, gently placed it by the Riverside, and put a Box next to it.
He put some less important Things like Soil and Stone all into the Box, leaving only basic Food, Tools, and Wood.
"Five Wooden Plank can craft a Boat…" Fang Bie felt that his Memory seemed to be a bit blurry. This wasn't a good Sign. If he lost his Memory, how could he craft those complex Items?
Fang Bie noted this down in his Notebook. It seemed he had to make a Crafting Guide early. Then, he stepped onto the Boat with one foot, and quickly rowed towards the Way back.
