Chapter 247 - Online Multiplayer (1/2)

The two of them spent some more time in the central city.

“Geez these buildings sure do look nice. I want to buy one of them now. Makes me mad to think about the den I built,” said Lin Xue.

“So that really isn’t a tomb then?” asked Chen Mo.

Lin Xue used an ‘angry’ emote, “Get out of here!”

Chen Mo laughed, “Although I really do hope you spend money on the game, but I recommend you hold off on that.”

“Why?”

Chen Mo brought Lin Xue to a rooftop of a tall building that overlooked the city.

“To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy these blueprints. Although it is a feature, I hope that everyone tries to build their own things and experience the joy of creating. The point of the game is lost if you bought everything.”

Lin Xue seemed to have understood that, “Huh, is that so.”

Chen Mo added, “Moreover, you’d still have to gather all the resources once you buy it.”

Lin Xue was shocked, “Huh? But don’t you have infinite resources in creative mode?”

“Sure you have infinite resources in creative mode, but even if you recreate one of these buildings, who would see it? How many others would join your world and look at it?” explained Chen Mo.

Lin Xue took a few seconds to process that, “That does seem to be the case.”

Chen Mo continued, “So if you want to show off a massive building you bought, you best go to a multiplayer server. But it’d take a lot of resources and a lot of gathering to build the building, so it’d be quite difficult to do that alone.

Lin Xue thought for a second, “So it’s best to start a gang on a multiplayer server before buying one of those?”

“… Must you use the word ‘gang’?”

“I understand now!” said Lin Xue, “How about we explore multiplayer mode?”

Chen Mo nodded, “Sure, I’ve been wanting to check how the players are doing anyways.”

The two of them quit Chen Mo’s world and entered ‘Everybody’s World’.

This time, the two of them spawned in a valley surrounded by massive trees with a river =in front of them.

There were quite a few players in this valley, at least thirty to forty players from the looks of it. They were all gathering wood and digging dirt. Some of them already crafted crafting tables and were using them.

Lin Xue looked around and noticed that she didn’t have anything other than the basic axe.

“Huh? How come I have nothing but the axe?” exclaimed Lin Xue.

“Of course,” Chen Mo said looking at her, “Everybody starts from nothing in multiplayer, so everybody should work together.”

Evidently, this valley was where the players spawned. But unlike other online games, there wasn’t even an NPC guiding players in Minecraft, nor were there tasks. The players spawn in this valley surrounded by trees with nothing else in possession.

There were many spawns like this. Chen Mo had set the spawns, terrain, and starting buildings, meaning the players will have to move around when they spawn.

A player named ‘Cool Gust’ walked towards Chen Mo and Lin Xue. He had a pickaxe in hand and appeared to have been mining before this.

“Nice to meet you two. If you guys are new, please join our guild. Strength in numbers. It’d make surviving and growing easier too,” explained Cool Gust.

Lin Xue looked at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded, “Sure, the two of us are newbies, please look after us guildmaster.”
