Monster Spawning Tower and Villager Zombie

"Has anyone entered the Nether?"

Gu Yu was slightly surprised by the announcement.

But that was all.

The rewards for unlocking the Nether weren't very generous, even a bit meager, and wouldn't have any substantial impact.

As for Yamamoto Rokuko, Gu Yu didn't know how he found out how to use Obsidian.

But even if he did, Gu Yu believed survival in the Nether would still be difficult.

It was indeed a new dimension, and certainly more dangerous. A single misstep could lead to being chased by Ghasts or falling into Lava.

There were also creatures like Blazes, Wither Skeletons, and Zombie Piglins.

Even an experienced Player could die from a single mistake, let alone a beginner.

Even if he was lucky enough to find a Nether Fortress, it would be difficult to retrieve anything from it.

The events outside didn't affect Gu Yu's actions. He had mined enough Iron Ore and wanted to modify his simple Monster Spawning Platform while he had the time.

There was no Diamond in the resource area, so the only way to obtain Diamond was from villagers.

There were no villagers outside, so Gu Yu planned to create some.

"First, stack Stone to a height of twenty-three blocks, then expand outwards in a square..."

With the Stone Generator available, there was no shortage of Stone on the Floating Island.

As he began building, the viewers in Kyushu watched anxiously from outside.

"What's going on? Great God, don't go back to the Floating Island!"

"Can't find Gold Ore, hurry and find Diamond!"

"A Diamond Pickaxe can even mine Obsidian, so a Diamond Sword must be good too!"

"Everyone else has time limits, we don't have to worry about that, so we're best suited for exploration!"

"Yamamoto Rokuko found it deep in the mining area. I guess Diamond should be reorganized in the deeper layers!"

"We didn't discover it before, it must be related to not exploring the deeper layers!"

"If we go too late, others will snatch it all, I'm in a hurry!"

Their worries were not unfounded.

The moment Yamamoto Rokuko took out his Diamond Pickaxe, many countries immediately sent reminders to their contestants through various means.

In the India Nation, a sudden notice board interrupted the busy Kapil.

He pulled up his pants and walked out with displeasure.

He could vaguely see a snow-white sheep in the room.

"Can't whatever it is wait a little longer?"

He muttered as he put on his clothes and came out.

Despite saying that, he knew the item wouldn't be used for no reason, so he carefully read the notice board.

It mainly conveyed two pieces of information: first, Obsidian and Flint could open a new dimension, and second, it was about Diamond.

"There's a mineral even more valuable than Gold!"

He couldn't mine Obsidian for now, but Diamond immediately energized Kapil.

The annoyance of being interrupted vanished, replaced by him mounting his warhorse, full of spirit.

"It's a shame the Diamond I found before was dug up, but it doesn't matter."

"Since it exists, I'll find it again sooner or later!"

His warhorse gave him an unparalleled advantage, allowing him to explore many places others couldn't reach.

Kapil hurried into the resource area, searching the depths of various caves.

Free Nation.

After killing a sufficient number of spiders, Mark and Jet respectively crafted their own bow and arrow.

"Twenty arrows should be enough to kill an Iron Golem?"

Even though he saw Piglins carrying away treasure chests, Gu Yu's Block was still a big prize.

Putting himself in their shoes.

With so many resources available, Mark would definitely build his base here, he wouldn't be willing to go back.

Compared to the starting Block, the resource area felt like the normal world; the ruined area couldn't compare!

Therefore, he was convinced that even if Gu Yu moved most of the supplies, there must be other rich resources in the small wooden house!

Otherwise, why would they send an Iron Golem to guard it?

Eager to attack the Iron Golem, Jet received a notification.

"The Samurai Nation has received new information: Diamond and Obsidian!"

Compared to Gu Yu, new equipment was certainly more appealing.

"Then let him live for two more nights and find Diamonds before coming back!"

Quickly reaching a conclusion, Mark also set off on the path to find Diamonds.

No reminder was needed; Gangcun Kuzi had already learned about the Diamonds from Yamamoto Rokuko.

Unless they absolutely had no tools, almost everyone had started to abandon Gold Mines and search for new resources: Diamonds!

Floating Island.

After more than half a day of effort, the Monster Spawning Platform had evolved into a Monster Spawning Tower.

Its height was just right so that monsters wouldn't die from the fall, but could be finished off with one blow.

Six Planks and one Stick; the signpost served no purpose in conveying information.

However, it could be placed at the top, and with vines, it could control the monsters' falling height.

Two layers in total, divided into four areas, utilizing the monsters' tendency to regroup in darkness and their random pathfinding mechanism.

Then, placing water streams nearby would wash each falling monster to the very bottom, where Gu Yu would finish them off.

The advantage was not needing to wait for nightfall; monsters would drop continuously at any time.

The disadvantage was the extremely low efficiency.

After observing for an entire afternoon, many Zombies and Skeletons had indeed appeared.

But for some unknown reason, the Villager Zombies he wanted had never shown up.

"Strange, how can the probability be so low?"

He pondered how to improve it, or if other factors were interfering.

Far away from the Floating Island.

Park Sam-chang drank Mushroom Soup, looking relaxed.

Thanks to that heavy rain, in two days he had only found a bowl and a Crafting Table; everything else was spent searching for Ender Pearls.

He found over thirty, so he wouldn't have to worry about travel for a month.

"Why is Gu Yu on the Floating Island instead of going to the resource areas?"

He couldn't understand the Monster Spawning Tower, but he could vaguely tell it had something to do with monsters.

Park Sam-chang could never figure out why Gu Yu was fighting with monsters here instead of finding resources.

The K-Nation audience also couldn't understand.

"What good stuff can monsters drop?"

"Besides Rotten Flesh for food, the most valuable thing is Iron Ingots, right?"

"We have Iron Mines; why not go outside to find Iron instead of looking for it here?"

"Forget it, don't mind him. Smida, hurry to the resource area!"

"Find Diamonds in the deep zones, get rich in one go!"

"Our K-Nation doesn't have signposts, so we can't remind you."

"Plus, there are digging restrictions, sigh."

After sighing, the K-Nation audience felt immense jealousy towards Gu Yu.

He had digging attempts and exclusive Blocks, yet he didn't go outside and just hid on the Floating Island!

What a waste; it would be so much better if they had the opportunity!

After simply filling his stomach, Park Sam-chang stood up and threw an Ender Pearl.

"I haven't used today's digging yet; I'll go find resources first!"

After a feeling of weightlessness, he arrived at the familiar resource area.

"Where did this snow come from on the ground? Useless stuff, why did it get into my backpack? Get rid of it quickly!"

"That must be Gu Yu's Block; what a large guardian, it looks really strong. Best not to get any ideas about those Pumpkins over there."

"Huh? Free Nation, Samurai Nation, what are they doing?"

Walking through the scenery along the way, he was once again intensely envious of Gu Yu's treatment.

Although he hadn't received a reminder, Park Sam-chang keenly noticed something was amiss.

Why were the other contestants looking for caves and going down to the deep layers instead of searching for Gold Mines?

He knew these people very well; there was only one reason that could drive them to do one thing.

Profit!

"There are treasures in the deep layers!"

He immediately reached this conclusion, and Park Sam-chang's eyes lit up.

"Let's go mining!"
