Sky Island Survival

"Block Civilization has begun!"

"What, it's a Large Civilization this time?"

"Does that mean all the things we saw before were just Small Civilizations!"

"Even with just Small Civilizations, there were existences like the God of Parkour and Colossal Giants. What will Large Civilizations be like!"

"It's clearly marked as a significant increase, so the difficulty can be imagined!"

"Isn't that a certain death situation?"

Hearing "Large Civilization," the citizens of Kyushu Nation instantly erupted.

Zombies, Creepers, and Skeletons alone were troublesome enough. Would Large Civilizations introduce other monsters?

Fries frowned, his expression grim.

"How could it be a Large Civilization? Is it possible that even the heavens can't stand it anymore and want to destroy us?"

They had barely managed to conquer the Giant Civilization and the Parkour Civilization before, and now the difficulty had doubled.

Fries, who originally had a sixty percent chance of passing, now only had thirty percent!

And that was assuming extreme luck.

As others had said, this was a certain death situation!

Regardless of what Fries was thinking, the voice in the arena continued.

[Drawing complete, announcing the list!]

[Free Nation, Mark, Jet.]

[Big No-No, Lord.]

[...]

[Samurai Nation, Gangcun Kuzi, Yamamoto Rokuko.]

[Big Stick Nation, Park Sam-chang.]

[...]

Both the Player and the number of participants were drawn randomly. As name after name appeared, Fries let out a long sigh, as if accepting his fate.

"Dean Qi, I'm going!"

He had already used his item card. In Kyushu, he was the only one who could shoulder this heavy responsibility.

He closed his eyes and waited quietly. After one minute.

When he opened his eyes again, Fries found himself still in the same spot, with no change whatsoever.

"Fries, it seems you weren't selected this time," Dean Qi said, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Fries looked up and indeed saw the list being announced.

[Kyushu, Gu Yu.]

It wasn't him, but someone else!

"Gu Yu? How is that possible?"

Why was someone else drawn when he had used an item card?

Even if it wasn't him, shouldn't it have been someone else who had participated in the game before?

Gu Yu, he had never even heard that name before!

After a moment of surprise, Fries's expression changed drastically.

"Could it be that others also used items, and their effects canceled each other out?"

If someone else was randomly selected, they wouldn't understand the game content without special training.

He turned his head to look outside, but it was too late.

White light flashed, and the selected individuals had already been teleported into the Block Civilization.

"This is bad!"

"This is great!"

Arriving in a blank area, Gu Yu smiled.

He had been a bit nervous before the list was finalized, but thankfully, Fries's item had indeed worked.

He had successfully been selected for the game.

[Welcome to Block Civilization!]

[Each Player will be randomly assigned their own block upon entering a Civilization.]

[Based on size, blocks are classified into Micro Blocks, Small Blocks, Medium Blocks, and Large Blocks.]

[Each block is attached to a higher-tier block.]

[While striving to survive, strengthen your own block!]

Block Civilization is where Gu Yu was headed.

Like other civilizations, at least a Medium Block was required to have a chance to leave the civilization.

The difference was that because it was a Large Civilization, one couldn't just wait out the days to pass.

After explaining the rules, several different locations appeared before Gu Yu.

[You are number sixteen, please wait for the players ahead to choose a block!]

[Block 1: Mud Hut Cluster.]

[Block 2: Raw Stone Field.]

[Block 3: Mushroom Island.]

[...]

One small island after another appeared, and contestants needed to choose from dozens of areas on them.

After a quick glance, the differences were generally minor. Each island only had one or two, or perhaps two or three, resources.

As these islands were displayed on the screen, the audience outside gasped in shock.

"Such a difficult start?!"

"Holy crap, that small island is all stone. Going there means instant death, right?"

"There's no food at all, I can't even imagine how to survive!"

"Even more terrifying, you can't get a chance to leave by just waiting it out this time!"

"Heavens, is this the difficulty of a Large Civilization!"

"Can the Fries God make it back alive... Wait, Gu Yu?"

"The Fries God clearly used an item, who is he?"

Compared to the standard village starts in previous civilizations, this was already incredibly difficult.

And when the audience looked up, they were surprised to find that the participating contestant wasn't Fries.

Could it be that someone understood the game content even better than Fries?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"The rules of Block Civilization are so bizarre, how could anyone possibly figure them out easily?"

"Not necessarily, there's still hope if they pick a good starting point!"

"Right, you have to choose Food Mountain, it's all food, it's definitely the best starting point for development!"

"Damn it, it's taken. How about Horse Island? Fewer blocks, but it has armor and warhorses!"

"That's taken too? Then Mushroom Island..."

"Forget it, number sixteen is so far down the list, by the time it's Gu Yu's turn, all the good places will be taken!"

"So unlucky, even if the Fries God went in this situation, it would be hard to win, right?"

"It should be said that luckily the Fries God didn't go. I suspect this civilization doesn't leave any way out, going there means certain death!"

"It's just a pity for this Gu Yu, he looks so young, sigh."

"I can't even imagine what kind of torment he'll suffer!"

With a sigh, the Bullet Comments fell silent collectively.

Already at a huge disadvantage compared to other countries, and with such a difficult start, it made no difference whether it was Fries or Gu Yu.

They could already imagine the tormenting scenes that would unfold in the coming days!

"Island start, huh."

Gu Yu examined each block one by one.

It was indeed more difficult than a normal survival, but a qualified MC Player would never have only played the vanilla version.

The so-called increase in difficulty was just adding mods.

Having cleared most of the mods on the market, this difference had no impact on him.

After a few rounds of reorganization, by the time it was Gu Yu's turn, over a dozen spots had already been taken by others.

Although not comparable to a village start, there were still differences between the islands. Players would definitely choose places with more resources.

"Mushroom Island? No, although there's a lot of food, there are no key resources."

"The stone field has iron ore, which looks good, but the quantity is too small, not suitable for early development."

"Food Mountain? All food? Isn't that a ridiculous start? Someone actually chose it?"

After looking carefully, Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Most starting locations are a bit difficult, but not impossible to survive. But places like Food Mountain, Horse Island...

They don't even have wood or stone, a complete dead end!

And yet, people think these are good places and are fighting to choose them?

On the other hand, there was a place he'd seen before, a fantastic starting location he'd already decided on, but it had always been ignored.

"I choose Block 66!"

As he made his choice, a white light enveloped him, and the block world gradually appeared before Gu Yu's eyes.

Beneath his feet were lush green Grass Blocks, soft and comfortable to step on, exactly as he remembered.

Looking around, Gu Yu saw a single tree beside him, with nothing else.

The entire space was only a few narrow grids, and looking down revealed the endless Void.

[Selection Complete!]

[Your Block is: Block 66.]
