Searching for Food

"Gurgle..." Fang Bie rubbed his stomach as it emitted these unintelligible sounds, unable to help but feel a sense of annoyance.

He had been so obsessed with chopping trees yesterday that he couldn't pull himself away, and he had spent a massive amount of time building a house. Although he had four or five Apples in his hand, he hadn't felt particularly hungry.

It was a pity that such a situation couldn't last; the moment Fang Bie woke up, he felt a wave of weakness, and the warning from his stomach made it clear that he needed to eat.

Fang Bie had no choice but to pick up the last Apple by his bedside, finish it in a few bites, quickly attend to his personal hygiene, and set off on a journey to find food.

The bed in Minecraft is truly miraculous; no matter what time of night you fall asleep, the moment you wake up, it is just dawn, and your spirit is restored to its peak.

Fang Bie held the tools he had crafted from wood—the Wooden Axe, Wooden Pickaxe, and Wooden Sword—and felt much more at ease.

Based on his Personal Slot and Inventory, he could basically tell that this was a version of Minecraft prior to 1.9, as the iconic off-hand slot was missing, which meant there would be no such things as shields.

Fang Bie held the sword and swung it a few times; after all, he was just an ordinary person without any particularly powerful combat skills, and holding the sword was more about bolstering his own courage.

However, based on his understanding, the monsters in this game were actually quite clumsy and wouldn't pose too much of a threat to him, with the exception of the Skeleton Archer—commonly known as Little White—whose arrows could pierce half an inch into stone.

Fang Bie closed the door. He had spent all of yesterday finally building a decent house here. This hilltop was the highest among the surrounding slopes, so as long as he didn't wander too far, he should be able to find his way back.

Although this world was "My World," it actually didn't have any massive differences from a normal world; the soil was still sloped rather than being stepped like a grid as it was in the game.

However, the trees were exactly the same as in the game, though Fang Bie had yet to see anything particularly square—the sun overhead being the only exception.

This world felt just like the wilderness he had visited before; if not for the Wooden Sword in his hand, Fang Bie might have even been dazed, wondering if he had returned to the modern world.

Unlike yesterday, when he chopped trees while walking, his goal today was very clear: to find enough food to survive. Therefore, Fang Bie quickly walked toward the bare mountain and arrived at a seemingly very flat plain.

There were a few sheep grazing on the grass, their figures hidden by the grass that grew half as tall as a person. Fang Bie quickly raised his sword and quietly crept toward them.

Yesterday, he had used brute force to kill the sheep, but they hadn't dropped any Mutton or similar items; he wondered if it had something to do with the rules of this world.

If they hadn't dropped two pieces of Wool, he wouldn't have known where to sleep last night. Without a bed, he would have had to hide inside his house, listening to the howling of monsters outside.

He had fought sheep yesterday and knew they wouldn't just let you attack them, which was different from the situation in the game.

In Minecraft, animals start to flee after being attacked, but their flight patterns are often erratic, and their speed isn't particularly fast, so an average person can usually catch up to land a few more hits and kill them completely.

But in this real world, he didn't know if he was running too slowly or if these animals had a talent for speed; he often had to chase them for a long time before he could catch up to land the final blow.

So, Fang Bie learned from yesterday's lesson. He wasn't as energetic as he had been, so he had to achieve a one-hit kill on these sheep.

This brought up the difference between him and the characters in the game: the animals in this world seemed to have no vital points. Even though he had struck the sheep's head many times yesterday, it hadn't caused the sheep to die immediately.

But today, he specifically walked to a very strange corner where three sheep were silently grazing on the grass.

Fang Bie didn't attack them immediately; instead, he quietly harvested the grass around him. His hands possessed the magical power of this world's rules, and soon the surrounding grass turned into Dirt Blocks in his hands—seventeen or eighteen of them.

Then, Fang Bie slowly walked to a higher dirt slope and placed the blocks one by one, trapping the three sheep in a small, narrow 2x2 area.

In reality, this was another point where it differed from the game. Every block in the game was a standard 1x1x1 cube, and no matter what creature it was, they could easily step over such blocks.

But having arrived in a world similar to reality, it was far from that. A block was a full meter high; even Fang Bie had to struggle to climb up, so how could these sheep, which only reached his waist, escape from these one-meter-high blocks?

Fang Bie stood easily on these Dirt Blocks and finished off the three sheep with a few swings of his sword. The difference from yesterday appeared: in addition to a few pieces of Wool, Fang Bie also saw Mutton drop.

"This shouldn't be version 1.7.10, at least not the pure version," Fang Bie thought slowly. "Sheep in that version don't drop Mutton unless a Food Mod is added..."

Fang Bie thought about other things again, urgently wanting to know which version of the game this world belonged to, or if it was even a mixed-up world. This was extremely important to him.

"Since there is no way to know for now, I can only wait until I can make an Enchantment Table later..." Fang Bie thought to himself, putting the Mutton and Wool into his Backpack.

The Enchantment Table is a particularly useful item in this game for the mid-to-late stages. You can use the experience gained from killing monsters to enchant equipment with special attributes.

These pieces of equipment often possess very strange or powerful effects, which can be of great help to your life, survival, and exploration in this world.

Fang Bie could clearly remember that different versions had different requirements for the Enchantment Table. He only needed to click on it once the Enchantment Table was built, and he should be able to figure it out.

As for now, he needed to go find some more food.
