Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

"But sometimes, these wandering traders also build a house and sell their goods from within their shop," Lilian explained casually.

This was completely different from the Minecraft world Lin Fan was familiar with.

It seemed there were still many things about this world that Lin Fan didn't yet understand.

"How many resources did these two beds cost?" Lin Fan asked Lilian.

Lilian thought for a moment.

"Two stacks of dirt, I think. It's pretty rare to find a wandering trader who trades beds for dirt. I noticed the deal was a good one, so I asked him to wait while I dug up two stacks," she said sweetly.

Of course, her looks likely played a big part in this as well.

Otherwise, what wandering trader would patiently wait for someone to dig up two stacks of dirt?

But Lilian, being somewhat naïve, didn't realize this.

"Since the value of two beds is usually higher than two stacks of dirt, I suspect the trader was probably raising sheep and growing trees. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so cheap," she added cheerfully.

Lin Fan nodded as he listened to her chatter.

From what Lilian shared, Lin Fan gleaned an important insight:

In this world, non-monster creatures likely weren't randomly generated.

For example, animals were probably tamed or bred by people. If they were wild, they might need to reproduce naturally rather than simply appearing randomly.

This explained why he had encountered so few animals on the plains earlier.

As for villagers or wandering traders, they also likely weren't randomly generated.

They were real people, living in this world, going about their daily lives. They worked hard every day, just like anyone else. They needed to eat, sleep, and make a living.

Trade, commerce, and professions like wandering traders naturally emerged in such a world.

Wandering traders weren't like the randomly spawned NPCs in the Minecraft game Lin Fan had played before.

The goods they sold weren't preloaded or infinite. They had to gather raw materials, raise animals, grow plants, and craft items themselves.

At that moment, Lin Fan truly felt the depth of this world—it was a living, breathing reality.

After listening to Lilian's explanation of wandering traders, Lin Fan decided to go out and find one.

Not to buy anything, though.

After all, anything he could purchase, he could also make himself.

His goal was to observe their trading methods and learn more about them.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Hu Tiancheng was feeling conflicted after parting ways with Lin Fan.

Three of his other friends approached him.

"Tiancheng, we have to report this to the Federation!"

"Yeah, we can't just let Fatty's death go unpunished…"

"That woman is terrifying! She chopped Fatty's head off with a single strike…"

"We can't let her get away with this! If we do, who knows how many more people will suffer in the future?"

The more they spoke, the more agitated they became. Having witnessed Fatty's death firsthand, they were furious and filled with grief.

But Hu Tiancheng didn't want to join their cause.

"Do you really think the Federation will care about this?" he asked calmly.

"What do you mean?" The only girl in the group, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes, looked at Hu Tiancheng in disbelief.

Hu Tiancheng continued, "This isn't the world we used to live in anymore. Forget about functioning laws—this world doesn't even have basic societal rules. Killing someone… isn't a crime," he said indifferently.

The girl stared at him in shock. She couldn't believe Hu Tiancheng, after witnessing Fatty's death, could say something like that.

"Fatty is dead! Do you understand that, Hu Tiancheng?"

"How can you talk like this? He was our friend!" she cried out.

"That's his own fault," Hu Tiancheng said coldly.

The girl's tears streamed down as she shook her head and stepped back.

"Hu Tiancheng, you've changed. No matter what happened before, you always stood up for us. Now you're scared."

"You're afraid of Lin Fan, so you don't dare resist him. You're a coward! I never want to see you again!"

The girl turned and ran off, crying.

The two remaining boys stood there, their expressions awkward and tense.

"Tiancheng, is this really what you think?"

Hu Tiancheng nodded.

"I don't care what you all think or do, but I have no intention of offending Lin Fan."

"..."

"Alright, we understand."

"Tiancheng, take care of yourself."

The two boys exchanged glances, their thoughts seemingly scattered, and then ran after the girl.

Watching them leave, Hu Tiancheng let out a long sigh.

Truthfully, from the very beginning, he no longer wanted to associate with them.

In their previous world, he had done his best to protect them because he had the ability to do so.

But the rules for survival in this world were different.

What he needed to focus on now was how to stay alive.

His hunger bar had dropped to five, leaving Hu Tiancheng feeling troubled. He decided to chop down a couple of trees and wait for apples to drop.

He had barely taken a few steps when he came across a small 4x6 structure. The house, made of oak planks, had a 2x3 window carved into the front.

The building resembled a small newspaper kiosk.

Hu Tiancheng approached it. Inside stood a man wearing a brown leather jacket. The man, with a face full of scruffy facial hair, looked to be in his forties.

"Excuse me, sir. What is this place?" Hu Tiancheng asked politely, pointing at the small building, his curiosity getting the better of him.

The man lazily lifted his drooping eyelids, glanced at Hu Tiancheng, and then propped his chin on one hand, continuing to doze.

"This is a furnace shop. One stack of cobblestone per furnace. You buying?" the man muttered.

"A furnace shop?" Hearing this, Hu Tiancheng froze in shock before a wave of excitement washed over him.

Did he just say he sells furnaces?

Could it be the same type of furnace Lin Fan was using?

If so, this meant he could buy one—and if he could buy one, he'd finally be able to cook meat!

"The furnaces you sell here… are they the kind that can turn raw meat into cooked meat?" Hu Tiancheng asked carefully.

The bearded man looked at him impatiently and waved dismissively.

"What other kind of furnace could it be? Are you buying or not? If not, get lost and stop wasting my time!"

At that moment, Hu Tiancheng wanted nothing more than to say yes, he wanted to buy one.

But where could he possibly find an entire stack of cobblestone?

More importantly, he didn't even know how to gather stone properly in this world.

He had tried earlier to dig through the dirt and mine the stone layer below with his hands, but the blocks simply disappeared—there was no way to collect them…
