Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

"Hu Tiancheng?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Why is he still here? What's he doing?"

"I don't know. Last night, he built a small hut here and then stayed beside it," Lilian said, pouting.

"Master doesn't let me hurt people randomly, so I didn't do anything. But it looks like he probably wants something from you?"

"I'll go out and take a look in a bit." Lin Fan organized all the miscellaneous items from his backpack into the storage chest.

In fact, he had already discarded quite a few things while in the dungeon because there wasn't enough space in his inventory.

Lin Fan wondered if this world had more backpack mods. If there were, he planned to craft a backpack. Otherwise, every time he went out, he would have to throw away a lot of useful items.

There was no teleportation in this world. If there were, it would be much easier—he could transport one batch back first, then teleport again to bring another batch.

But since there was no teleportation, looting in places like this always meant leaving behind a lot of useful things.

After sorting out his backpack, Lin Fan handed over the sausages and wheat bread he had found in the dungeon to Lilian.

"These sausages taste pretty good. You should try them. I just ate one," Lin Fan said, rubbing Lilian's head. Lilian nodded obediently and started nibbling on the sausage.

Not far away, Chris looked at Lilian with envy.

After spending the past two days together, Chris realized that Lin Fan was particularly fond of Lilian, always giving her the best things first.

Especially when it came to food—Lin Fan himself ate rotten flesh, but Lilian always got the best food in the house.

Chris quickly averted her gaze.

Lin Fan took out fifteen potatoes from his backpack and placed them in the furnace to roast.

Once everything was in order, he opened the trapdoor and climbed out of the room.

It was early morning, and the sun had just begun to rise, so Lilian and Chris hadn't started working yet.

After washing up by the river, they noticed Hu Tiancheng emerging from his small hut.

Seeing Lin Fan finally show up, Hu Tiancheng's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Lin Fan, you're back?" He greeted him like an old friend.

Lin Fan looked at him and couldn't help but frown.

"Why are you living here?"

"I wanted to discuss something with you," Hu Tiancheng said directly, seizing the opportunity now that Lin Fan was finally talking to him.

Lin Fan splashed water on his face by the river.

"What do you want to discuss?"

"I want to stay here and help you. You don't have to pay me; I just want to stay here," Hu Tiancheng said seriously.

Lin Fan frowned upon hearing this.

"You don't need anything at all?"

"Yeah, nothing at all. If you don't provide food, I can take time to find some myself," Hu Tiancheng said firmly.

Lin Fan found this a bit puzzling.

"If you don't want anything, then what's your motive?"

Could it be… he's after my good looks?

"It's nothing like that. I just feel like I can learn a lot from you," Hu Tiancheng explained.

Lin Fan thought for a moment, then walked over to the farm and planted some wheat seeds and chili peppers.

"I don't need you," Lin Fan rejected Hu Tiancheng outright.

In truth, he was in great need of manpower right now, but he didn't want Hu Tiancheng's help.

He didn't know Hu Tiancheng well and didn't trust him.

His helpers were responsible for managing his wealth, so letting an outsider take on that role was inappropriate.

Compared to Hu Tiancheng, Lin Fan preferred slaves who had signed indenture contracts. Since he held their contracts, they would never betray him.

Hu Tiancheng didn't seem surprised by the rejection.

"Then I'll wait until you change your mind," he said before returning to his small hut, acting as if nothing had happened—without any intention of leaving.

Lin Fan had actually wanted to tell him to leave and camp somewhere else, but after considering that the land beside him wasn't technically his, he decided to just let it be.

At that time, if he wanted to build other structures or expand his territory, he could just drive Hu Tiancheng away.

Having figured this out, Lin Fan started working on the Redstone farm.

Lin Fan opened the trapdoor and returned to his room, checking his Redstone supply.

At this point, he had nearly two stacks of Redstone, which should be more than enough to build a farm.

However, a double-layered farm would require more resources, so he decided to construct a single-layer farm first and add another layer once he had more Redstone.

Lin Fan placed Redstone and sticks on the crafting table, combining them to make 10 Redstone torches.

After crafting the torches, he placed Redstone in the center, positioned the Redstone torches on either side, and laid a layer of freshly smelted stone underneath. This process created a Redstone repeater.

He made five repeaters at once, which should be sufficient.

In addition to that, Lin Fan also needed four pistons. The crafting method was quite simple:

He placed a row of oak planks on the top, put an iron ingot in the middle, Redstone below it, and cobblestone on either side.

Since he had mined quite a bit of iron this time, it wasn't a significant resource drain for him.

With all the necessary components ready, Lin Fan left his room.

By now, the glass bottle shop and Shop No. 1 had already opened for business, and quite a few people were lined up outside.

When they saw Lin Fan step out, they couldn't help but glance in his direction.

Ignoring the onlookers, Lin Fan began building oak staircases at the four corners, stacking them up to the fourth level before stopping.

Then, at the highest level, he used oak stairs to form a square shape, leaving a single open space in the middle when viewed from above.

Finally, he connected the four squares with oak stairs and placed pistons beneath them.

After completing one side, Lin Fan repeated the process on the other three corners.

By now, the people waiting in line had turned their full attention to him.

What was Lin Fan doing?

This didn't look like a fence to keep out thieves.

"What is Lin Fan up to? After all these days, there's no way he's just now setting up theft prevention, right?"

"What even is this thing?"

"No idea. If I knew, I wouldn't be starving right now."

"Fair point."

Everyone watched Lin Fan curiously.

Hu Tiancheng stood nearby with a serious expression, watching intently. He recognized most of the materials, but the piston was something he had never seen before.

"Lin Fan, what is that thing in your hand?" he couldn't help but ask.

Lin Fan glanced at him, then at the gathered customers, thinking for a moment before answering.

"This is called a piston. It can push water." His tone was calm.

Hu Tiancheng looked even more puzzled.

"A piston? Push water?"

"What's it used for?"

The customers in line were equally curious.

"Does farmland even need irrigation?"

None of them had experience with farming and had no idea what it required.

But hadn't Lin Fan's crops been growing just fine without water over the past few days?

Why did he suddenly need to water them now?
