Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

After the introductions, the group stood there, stunned.

Lin Fan?

Why does that name sound so familiar?

Wait, what?!

Isn't this the guy who got two consecutive first kills and was even recruited by the Federation?

"Your name is Lin Fan?" Hu Tiancheng froze in place, disbelief written all over his face.

"Like Lin as in double wood, and Fan as in ordinary?"

"Yeah, that's me. Any issues?" Lin Fan gave them an unimpressed look, seeing their wide-eyed expressions as though they had never seen the world.

Hu Tiancheng's expression immediately changed, and he quickly shook his head.

"No, no, of course not!"

Crap. They'd just run into a big shot.

And not only that, but they'd also stepped right onto his toes!

Right now, the most famous person in the entire virtual world was Lin Fan.

On the very first night, he had consecutively slain a zombie and a skeleton—two monsters that had been causing headaches for everyone around the world.

And they— they'd just been disrespectful to him. Worse, they'd even tried to hit on his girl…

Even if they had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough for Lin Fan to kill them all!

"Brother Fan, we were too rude earlier. It's our fault. We deeply apologize to you and… sister-in-law. Please forgive us," Hu Tiancheng said as he bowed at a full ninety degrees in apology.

The sudden shift in attitude left Lin Fan a bit confused.

What's going on?

They're apologizing already?

Wasn't Hu Tiancheng just moments ago acting like he wanted to kill me?

"Apologies aren't necessary. We've got things to do. If there's nothing else, you all should head out," Lin Fan said, waving his hand dismissively. He had no intention of wasting more time on Hu Tiancheng and his group.

He grabbed Lillian, ready to leave, but before he could take a step, Hu Tiancheng blocked their way again.

"Uh… Brother Fan, please have mercy and tell us how to make that furnace?"

"Didn't you just say that you made it yourself?"

"I did make it, but teaching how to make it is too troublesome. I've got other things to do today," Lin Fan said, frowning.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to teach. The method of crafting a furnace was straightforward enough.

But teaching newbies like them would require explaining the basics first—what a crafting table is, what a crafting grid is.

After that, he'd have to explain the crafting recipes for other items that would inevitably come up in the conversation. All of this would take way too much time.

Lin Fan simply didn't have the energy or patience to explain all that to a bunch of strangers.

His attitude remained firm, which made one of the guys—a chubby man—unhappy.

"Tiancheng, forget it. I bet he doesn't even know how to make it. He's just pretending. That furnace is probably something he swiped from a village."

"Yeah, exactly. Look at how well-crafted that furnace is. We've only been in the virtual world for one day. How could he have had the time to make something like that? He's obviously lying."

"Right, Tiancheng, you don't seriously believe he made that furnace, do you?"

"And come on, it's just a furnace. Does he really have to keep it such a big secret?"

Their words became sharper and more aggressive. Since they didn't know much about Lin Fan, they didn't feel the need to show him much respect.

In their eyes, getting first kills on two monsters on the first day was impressive, but it wasn't enough to make them bow and scrape before him.

After all, they hadn't witnessed Lin Fan slaying the monsters firsthand. For all they knew, it could've been pure luck or some fluke that helped him secure those first kills.

To them, these two vaguely defined world-first kills weren't enough to inspire fear or reverence.

After all, they came from a world that valued equality, where ideals like "survival of the fittest" or "natural selection" were nothing more than theoretical concepts.

Most people still hadn't realized that Lin Fan's words would one day become the survival law for humanity. They still clung to the belief that this new world was like the old Blue Earth, where everyone was equal.

However, Hu Tiancheng had already sensed that something was off. He agreed with Lin Fan's words wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Lin Fan's actions proved his perspective: from achieving the two world-first kills to crafting roasted meat and a furnace, everything about Lin Fan struck Hu Tiancheng as extraordinary.

Hu Tiancheng believed Lin Fan had adapted to this world far faster than anyone else.

This wasn't just an experience for them anymore; this was the world where they would live for the rest of their lives.

The earlier someone adapted to this world, the better chance they had to dominate resources—whatever those might be.

"Shut up. If Brother Fan doesn't want to tell us, don't force him. Let's go," Hu Tiancheng interrupted the chatter of the others.

Hearing this, the chubby man grew even more displeased.

"Brother Fan? Really? I never pegged you as someone who sucks up to others. Honestly, I've lost all respect for you."

"Yeah, besides, how do we even know this guy is the real Lin Fan?"

"Why should we leave just because he told us to? We came here in good faith, and he gave us this cold attitude. Now we're just supposed to leave?"

"Shut your mouth!" Hu Tiancheng glared at the chubby man, frowning deeply.

Regardless of whether they could befriend Lin Fan, Hu Tiancheng had no intention of making an enemy of him.

But the chubby man wasn't so sharp. He continued to pester.

"It's just the method to make a furnace. If he really knows how to do it, then he should share it! Nine billion people in this world are starving. He can't just hog it all for himself, can he?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't hold back any longer.

He was usually patient and rarely lost his temper unless someone really crossed a line.

And this chubby man's words had crossed the line.

It was his crafting recipe, his method. Why should he have to share it?

If he chose to share, it was an act of kindness. If he didn't, who had the right to criticize him?

Sensing Lin Fan's shift in mood, Lillian also caught on. Her expression darkened as she reached into her inventory, pulling out a stone sword.

With ghostly speed, she appeared next to the chubby man, driving the sword into his chest without hesitation.

A sudden scream echoed through the air as the chubby man collapsed, clutching his chest and writhing in pain.

This wasn't a video game. This was a real world. Pain existed here, as real as in their old world.

Lillian's icy expression remained unchanged as she planted one foot firmly on the man's body, pressing the tip of her stone sword against his neck.

"One more word, and I'll send you straight to death," she said coldly, her golden hair whipping in the wind.

The chubby man glared at her in fury, but his eyes betrayed a flicker of fear.

"How dare you attack me! I'll report this! You'll go to prison!" he shouted, his voice trembling slightly.

"There are no police in this world," Lillian replied, her voice dripping with icy menace.

"Killing is allowed here. And you've already upset Master. Even if I kill you, it'll be a deserved death!"

"K-Kill me?" The chubby man, terrified of the blade at his throat, still mustered the courage to shout.

"You dare to kill me? What about the law?!"

"Not just murder—even for cutting me just now, I'll report you to the Federation! You won't get away with this!" he screamed at Lillian, his voice hoarse with desperation.

Lin Fan, his expression calm and indifferent, stepped forward.

"First, there are no laws in this world. Killing you wouldn't bring Lillian any legal consequences," Lin Fan said.

"Second, I am Lin Fan. The Federation couldn't recruit me because I hold survival secrets no one else does. You're just a useless piece of trash. It's obvious who the Federation would choose."

Lin Fan stepped on the chubby man's face, looking down at him with disdain.

"Third, this isn't the old world anymore. This world follows the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest. If I want you dead, you'll die right here and now."
