Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

While Lin Fan was still in shock, Lilian effortlessly eliminated the wave of zombies without suffering a single scratch.

Her skillful performance left Lin Fan in awe.

"You're actually this strong?" Lin Fan couldn't help but step forward.

Lilian flicked her golden pigtail and then stored her stone sword back into her backpack.

"It's nothing, just an unrefined sword technique."

"I finally understand how you managed to hold off so many zombies by yourself back then." Lin Fan gave her a thumbs-up.

He never imagined that Lilian, a full-time maid, would possess such formidable combat abilities.

That meant he essentially had a powerful bodyguard, so he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked.

Not to mention, she was always looking out for him.

"But what was that circle of wind around you just now?" Lin Fan's curiosity got the better of him.

Hearing his question, Lilian's body stiffened slightly.

"That's something from another world. You don't need to understand it for now."

"Another world?" Lin Fan was surprised by her answer. "Are you also from another world?"

Could it be some kind of cultivation realm or a world where spiritual energy was revived?

"It's not what you're thinking." Lilian saw the look on his face and immediately knew he had misunderstood.

"Actually, it's not exactly another world, just a place with some unique abilities. You'll be able to go there in the future too."

"But don't worry about that for now. Just focus on mining."

Lilian gave him a sweet smile, clearly unwilling to elaborate further.

Seeing that she didn't want to answer, Lin Fan decided not to press the issue.

Indeed, even if there were other places, it didn't really matter to him right now. His priority was mining, saving up gold coins, and surviving in this world.

After this brief interlude, Lin Fan and Lilian continued searching for minerals inside the mine tunnel.

As they walked, Lin Fan spotted a mineral on the rock surface that he didn't recognize.

"What's this?" He raised his pickaxe and approached.

Lilian glanced at it.

"That's a salt deposit."

"Salt?" Lin Fan was intrigued and switched his stone pickaxe for an iron one.

He started mining the salt deposit.

Although he was surprised, it made sense. After all, this world had various food mods.

Many recipes required salt, so finding salt deposits was completely logical.

Using his iron pickaxe, Lin Fan extracted the salt. Unfortunately, there was only one deposit with no additional veins.

"You actually knew to use an iron pickaxe? I thought you'd try with a stone one first." Lilian looked at Lin Fan with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lin Fan chuckled but didn't reply.

The two continued forward, unearthing a decent amount of iron ore and coal.

But what thrilled Lin Fan the most was finding three emeralds.

Emeralds were considered relatively rare among minerals.

If this were his previous life, Lin Fan wouldn't have thought much of them.

Emeralds didn't have many uses. However, in this world, finding emeralds made him very excited.

There were many wandering traders here, and most of them accepted emeralds for trade.

This meant that a single emerald could sometimes be exchanged for a full stack of building materials.

In other words, he had just saved himself three whole stacks of materials—how could he not be thrilled?

After storing the emeralds safely, Lin Fan took out some rotten flesh from his backpack and ate two pieces.

Even though he was used to eating rotten flesh, the bitterness was still hard to bear. The texture felt like chewing on a leather shoe, and it came with an additional 30 seconds of hunger.

Seeing Lin Fan's pained expression, Lilian felt a bit sorry for him. She took a baked potato from her backpack and handed it to him.

"Eat this instead. Stop eating rotten flesh. I'll go out tomorrow and find some animals. We won't run out of food."

"It's fine. Rotten flesh works for me." Lin Fan took out a glass bottle from his backpack, drank two sips of water to wash away the bitterness in his mouth, and then started heading back the way they came.

Both of them had a high level of daily activity, which meant they burned through their hunger bar quickly and needed a lot of food. The crops they planted grew too slowly to keep up with their needs.

As for going out to hunt animals, that was even more unrealistic.

The energy required to hunt animals couldn't be replenished with just a single piece of cooked meat.

So, until the food problem was fully resolved, Lin Fan would continue eating rotten flesh.

They headed toward the cave entrance, as Lin Fan had basically mined everything of value in this tunnel.

Climbing out, Lin Fan sealed the mine entrance with cobblestone.

"Let's head back. It should be morning by now." Lin Fan led Lilian out of the mine.

Sure enough, as soon as they emerged, he saw faint daylight through the trapdoor.

After staying awake for two days, Lin Fan was already exhausted.

This was a real world, not a game—since he was living in it, he definitely needed rest.

But he still had things to do today, so sleep would have to wait.

Crawling out of the trapdoor, he glanced at the sun's position and estimated that it had just recently risen.

Lin Fan then dug a hole directly above his basement and poured in a bucket of water.

He planned to create a farm above the basement and secure the land with a deed. Otherwise, if someone stole their wheat and potatoes, they'd face a serious survival crisis.

Taking out his stone hoe, Lin Fan tilled a 9x9 plot of farmland.

A single water block could irrigate up to four blocks in any direction, so a 9x9 field was the most efficient setup.

Once the soil was prepared, Lin Fan uprooted the underdeveloped crops near the river and replanted them in the new field.

Some potatoes were nearly mature, so he left them untouched. By nightfall, they'd likely be ready to harvest.

It would be a waste to replant them now.

After completing the setup, Lin Fan took out a land deed and marked the farmland within its boundaries, securing ownership.

With a deep breath, he finally felt relieved.

Then, he opened the game forum and began drafting a post.

He planned to start doing business with other humans in this world.

Ever since encountering the wandering traders, Lin Fan had considered this possibility.

If wandering traders could do business with humans, why couldn't he?

His shop offered a greater variety of goods at lower prices than the traders.

Given the current survival struggles, it was obvious that people would choose Lin Fan over the traders.

Lin Fan decided to sell furnaces and stone swords—both items that people desperately needed.

They lacked cobblestone, which meant they couldn't trade with the wandering traders for these essentials.

Without stone swords, they couldn't protect themselves at night. Without furnaces, they couldn't cook meat.

But now, Lin Fan was offering a solution: they could buy these tools from him using raw oak logs!

Once they had stone swords, they could start hunting mobs.

Killing mobs would earn them gold coins.

And since gold coins were useless to them, they would naturally spend them at Lin Fan's shop.

This was exactly what Lin Fan wanted.

Expanding his land required 10,000 gold coins per grid. If he relied on killing mobs himself, it would take forever.

The only way to accelerate his progress was to profit from others.

That was the key to developing his city and building his own commercial empire.

After typing out a detailed post, Lin Fan hit send.
