Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

For the next few days, Lin Fan and Lilian were busy managing their small shop.

As they settled into the rhythm of their business, the newcomers to this world also began adjusting to their new lives.

With stone swords and furnaces, they now had the ability to fight monsters and cook meat.

However, as their diets diversified, a new problem emerged.

"My thirst bar keeps running low! What should I do?"

"Yeah, I've been eating roasted meat, but I keep having to eat apples to restore my thirst!"

"Why can't we drink the water from the river? What's going on?"

"And a single apple only restores one thirst point. Sometimes my hunger bar is full, but my thirst bar is still half-empty."

"If that's the case, I might as well just eat apples all the time. It's more efficient."

"Sigh~~ I don't know what's happening."

"Lin Fan should know how to deal with this, right?"

"@Lin Fan, help us out here!"

"@Lin Fan, big boss! How do we increase our thirst bar? I need water!"

More and more people were tagging Lin Fan, all struggling with the thirst mechanic.

Lin Fan browsed the forums and, in the interest of making more money—

Oh, wait, no—in the interest of helping others—

He decided to open a new store selling glass bottles.

Early the next morning, Lin Fan left the shop in Lilian's care and set off for the market with 30 stacks of oak logs.

He traded with the market vendor and got 15 stacks of cobblestone and 15 stacks of sand in return.

Due to the high demand for stone swords and furnaces, his supply of cobblestone was always running low. He practically had to visit the market every day to restock.

After gathering his materials, Lin Fan returned home and crafted several additional furnaces, placing them throughout his house.

Then, he divided the sand into different furnaces and began smelting them into glass.

The furnaces weren't the problem—the coal was.

Lin Fan checked his gold count—he only had 2,520 gold coins. Earlier, he had asked a trader about coal prices:

One stack of coal cost 2,000 gold coins.

That was far too expensive for Lin Fan.

He immediately abandoned the idea of buying coal.

As night approached, Lin Fan instructed Lilian to close the shop early today.

The moment the sun set, Lilian ruthlessly kicked all the customers out.

That evening, Lin Fan harvested all the crops in his field:

✅ 15 potatoes

✅ 38 wheat

As for carrots, he had already fed them all to Lilian because they were taking too long to mature.

After harvesting, he replanted the potato and wheat seeds in the field.

Then, he closed the trapdoor, leading Lilian back inside their house.

Inside, eight furnaces were hard at work smelting sand into glass.

The crackling flames made the house noisy—there was no way he was going to get any sleep tonight.

Lin Fan rummaged through the storage chest and pulled out one leftover wheat, adding it to today's batch, bringing his total to 39 wheat.

✅ 39 wheat → 13 bread

✅ 13 bread → enough food for Lilian for a while

After handing the bread to Lilian, Lin Fan ate two pieces of rotten flesh to fill his stomach. He then drank some clean water to rinse out the awful taste.

After eating rotten flesh so many times, Lin Fan was almost used to the flavor.

With hunger taken care of, Lin Fan crafted several stone pickaxes and prepared to go mining with Lilian.

Buying coal from the market was far too expensive, so he decided to mine it himself.

The natural cave he had explored earlier was already cleared out, so this time, he decided to dig a straight tunnel in a controlled manner.

Compared to other ores, coal was much more common—he found some every few steps.

Aside from coal, there were some unexpected surprises.

At Y-level 11, he found iron ore and redstone quite frequently.

Occasionally, he even stumbled upon a few emeralds and lapis lazuli.

Lin Fan and Lilian continued mining for half a day, gathering around two to three stacks of coal.

This amount still wasn't enough to smelt 15 stacks of glass.

"Master, do we need to keep digging?" Lilian asked, her voice tired.

Seeing her worn-out expression, Lin Fan felt a little guilty.

"If you're tired, you can head back and rest. Tomorrow, I want to build a shop to sell glass bottles, and we still don't have enough coal," Lin Fan replied while mining.

Lilian plopped down onto the ground, clearly losing motivation.

Lin Fan gently rubbed her golden pigtails, urging her to go back and sleep, but Lilian refused.

She insisted on staying by Lin Fan's side.

No matter how much Lin Fan tried to persuade her, Lilian stood her ground—she wasn't leaving.

Seeing no way to change her mind, Lin Fan gave up and let her stay.

With Lilian sticking around, Lin Fan focused back on mining.

As he dug forward, he suddenly broke through into a new space—a tunnel entrance.

A faint light flickered from within, causing Lin Fan to pause.

Natural caves shouldn't have any light… unless there's lava.

Curious, he widened the hole, allowing more visibility into the area.

As his vision adjusted, he realized—

It was an abandoned mine!

The mine's structure looked exactly like the tunnels Lin Fan had dug—a 2×2 passage stretching endlessly into the distance.

The floor was lined with rails, with the occasional minecart sitting on the tracks.

The walls were reinforced with wooden beams, but cobwebs hung from the structures.

Torches were scattered throughout the tunnels, dimly lighting the path.

Mineshafts like these were known for having many spider spawners.

Lin Fan stepped into the mine, scanning his surroundings.

The stone walls were filled with ores.

✅ Coal

✅ Iron

✅ Redstone

"Lilian, let's start collecting these ores," Lin Fan called out.

Just as they began mining, a black spider suddenly rushed toward them!

Unlike zombies, spiders were much faster.

The moment Lin Fan spotted it, the spider was already leaping toward him!

Luckily, Lin Fan reacted quickly.

Dodge! He barely avoided the first strike.

Swap weapons! He immediately switched from pickaxe → stone sword.

Counterattack! He slashed at the spider.

[Spider HP: 27/32]

Unlike older versions where spiders had 16 HP, this updated version doubled their health to 32 HP.

But Lin Fan wasn't worried.

He continued jumping around, skillfully dodging the spider's attacks while counter-slashing with his stone sword.

Lilian had also noticed the spider but didn't blindly charge in this time.

She knew that Lin Fan could handle a single spider on his own.

As expected, within a few moments, Lin Fan killed the spider.

Suddenly, a world notification popped up:

[Ding~! Congratulations to Lin Fan for achieving the first spider kill! Reward granted!]

At the same time, Lin Fan's backpack suddenly gained 10,000 gold coins!

Lin Fan stared at the notification, stunned for a second, before excitement filled his face.

10,000 gold coins just for killing a spider?!

This was exactly what he needed!

Now, he finally had enough gold to buy a slave to help manage his shop!
