Chen Ze

Biodata

Background / History

Sponsored Minecraft Debut

Chen Ze first plays Minecraft as a sponsored segment after streaming Bicycle Simulator. He initially promises to try it for half an hour before returning to cycling, but chooses hard difficulty and becomes absorbed in discovering its crafting and survival systems 1 2.

His early attempts are clumsy: zombies kill him inside his unfinished cabin, and he survives the next night by following viewers’ advice to hide underground. Despite its missing roof, windows, and door, he proudly presents the cabin’s four walls as “deluxe decor” 2 3.

Defeating the Ender Dragon

After Starfield announces the Ender Dragon and a 100,000-yuan first-clear reward, Chen Ze investigates obsidian and begins mining. A lava accident destroys his equipment, forcing him to rebuild. Recognizing that other players are far ahead, he stops expecting to win the reward and focuses on enjoying the game 3 4.

Muyu defeats the dragon before Chen Ze reaches the Nether. Chen Ze enters the End the following day, destroys the dragon’s healing crystals, and alternates bow attacks with sword strikes. A Golden Apple saves him after the dragon launches him into the air; nearly half an hour into the fight, his final arrow kills it 4.

The victory letter leaves him feeling as though he has entered another world. His Minecraft streams also bring tangible career gains: his audience reaches 345,200 during his early playthrough, and he gains tens of thousands of followers 4 5.

Multiplayer and Community Events

After completing a quartz villa, Chen Ze begins feeling that he has exhausted the game’s possibilities. Starfield’s platform announcement and Lü Zhenghao’s invitation lead him to Utopia Adventure Journey, which he plays with Lü Zhenghao, Qiezi, Da Sima, and Xiao Dingdang. He proposes completing the modpack’s achievement tree and volunteers to handle construction 5 6.

The group’s first shelter is another hastily built wooden box, but Chen Ze subsequently constructs a two-story riverside house that earns his friends’ praise. When Starfield suggests a building competition, he brings the proposal to the group, who agree to try organizing it with official assistance. Their multiplayer video also encourages viewers to return to Minecraft 7 8 9.

Bed Wars

On the Rebuild the Homeland - The Lost World server, Chen Ze claims a 64×64 residential plot before trying Bed Wars. He joins Red Team with Laoda and Mai Senpai, while Xiao Dingdang appears on the opposing Blue Team 13 14.

Mini World Promotion

Chen Ze reluctantly accepts a paid Mini World stream because he fears Qisheng Games might blacklist him if he refuses. He regards it as a Minecraft imitation but restrains his criticism because he has accepted the sponsorship 19 20.

He pays 69.9 yuan for the game but refuses to buy its skins, including a 6,999-yuan flying skin. During play, separate one-yuan charges to unlock wood and planks further frustrate him and drive viewers away. Qisheng has promised to cover his in-game spending; after an hour, he closes the game and returns to Minecraft 19 20.

Starfield Building Cup

Chen Ze serves on the five-person judging panel reviewing the hundred most-liked competition videos. The entries include a giant cherry blossom tree, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, and a naval battleship fleet 23.

The judges save Zhang Sheng’s Old Summer Palace reconstruction for last and enter the map to examine it firsthand. They award it an average score of 100. Moved by the reconstruction and its cultural significance, Chen Ze declares that the competition’s romance, sentiment, and pride belong to all Minecraft players 24.

Hundred Days of Mutation Tournament

After several days of PUBG, Chen Ze concludes that his poor aim makes the shooter unsuitable for him. Remembering that the Building Cup produced his livestream’s largest audience, he begins planning a Minecraft competition and considers inviting Muyu, Zimin, and Jianan 48.

Starfield permits the event provided he follows its rules and submits a reporting form. He announces the tournament for the following week while keeping its format and participants secret from viewers 50.

Chen Ze abandons his original endurance-only format after discovering that some prospective competitors have already cleared the modpack, whereas he cannot survive past day twenty. By the end of the available account, the tournament has reached trending searches and its server is being prepared; the competition itself has not yet taken place 50.

Personality

Chen Ze is playful and boastful on stream, readily celebrating his own work even when his first house is little more than four walls. His friends tease him in return, particularly when his painstaking search for a scenic building site leaves him rushing to make an emergency shelter before nightfall 2 3 7.

He is willing to learn from viewers and more experienced players. Chat advice guides his early survival and mining, while watching other streamers prepares him for the Ender Dragon’s attack phases. He also acknowledges his limitations, describing exploration as a weakness and later recognizing that PUBG does not suit him 2 4 6 48.

His enthusiasm extends beyond winning. Multiplayer reminds him of childhood games with village friends, and the Old Summer Palace reconstruction moves him to tears as he praises its creator’s research and effort 6 24.
