When night fell, Sam chang immediately took his Mooshrooms and hid in the dirt house.
You couldn't feel it in the game. But actually living in a house built of dirt, he could clearly smell that earthy odor.
The room was narrow, and he also had to ensure the Mooshrooms weren't killed by monsters. Sam chang could only press his entire body against the wall. It felt just like being forcibly pinned to the ground by two burly men.
The difference was, what was pressing him down wasn't burly men, but two cows. And it was completely voluntary.
Theoretically, Sam chang could spend the night in the bed, but the thought of sleeping while hugging a cow... he really couldn't accept it.
The block world was too bizarre. Animals only needed two of their kind to breed a baby animal. If he really slept with a cow, who knew what kind of deformed creature would be produced.
Besides, if two cows pressed against him, Sam chang's small frame couldn't take it at all. He could only handle it the safe way.
"Monsters have spawned on the Mushroom Island!"
Watching the zombies appear one by one outside the house, Sam chang was glad he chose to hide inside.
'Monsters can even spawn on mushrooms. A large-scale civilization is terrifying, indeed!'
"Good thing Sam-chang-imnida had the foresight to go into the room early!"
"That was close! The zombie almost blocked the door!"
"It's a pity there are no weapons on the island, so he can't kill monsters to compete in the rankings."
"As the first trial, a high ranking must have benefits!"
"Forget it, just surviving is enough. There will definitely be chances to develop later!"
"Yeah, not like *some* contestant who thinks he's so great just because he made a cobble generator!"
"It's already so dark, and he's still not hiding in his house. He's seeking death!"
"With no equipment at all, he has no idea how terrifying the night is!"
Everyone knew that the higher the rank, the better the things you could get. But most contestants knew their limits. Without armor, weapons, and sufficient food reserves, they would choose to temporarily avoid confrontation.
Only those like Mark and Jett, who had abundant resources and strong personal skills, would go all out.
Sam chang's room was indeed cramped, but through the window, he looked at the skyblock opposite him. Lexon had clearly built a stone house, but he hadn't gone inside. Instead, he was just spacing out on the island.
'Lexon must be arrogant, thinking he can kill zombies just because he made a stone weapon. He's intentionally staying out of the house to fight for a ranking!' A cold sneer touched Sam chang's lips.
'Too ignorant! Stone weapons do deal more damage than wooden ones, so what? It's never just one zombie that spawns at night!'
'Without armor, if a skeleton appears, how will he deal with it?'
Every player who had entered the block world feared skeletons the most! The bows in their hands had an extremely long range, and their arrows were endless, as if created from thin air, never seeming to run out. Often, before a player could even get close, they would be shot into a porcupine, their health critical!
Only after Liberty Nation crafted a bow and arrow did they barely have a fighting chance. How to craft a bow was Liberty Nation's top secret and couldn't be easily leaked—that question aside...
'In such a difficult early game, where would Lexon get the materials to make a bow and arrows?'
'Not to mention... *that* kind of monster which has a chance to spawn at night!' Just thinking of it, Sam chang felt a shiver run down his spine.
'No, it's only the first day. Even a large-scale civilization, it's impossible for... *that* to appear...'
Comforting himself that he wouldn't encounter that kind of monster, Sam chang shifted his body slightly. Being squashed, the two Mooshrooms let out 'moo moo' sounds in protest and pressed back with even greater force.
Their weight, who-knows-how-many-tons, was not something Sam chang could contend with. He felt his breathing stop, and only recovered a moment later.
"Huu, huu..."
He quickly took two deep breaths so he wouldn't suffocate to death.
Although the space was small and he had to endure being squeezed by the Mooshrooms, at least he didn't have to be disturbed by monsters.
'No equipment, no food... it's impossible to survive with just a stone sword. I will watch through this window and personally see Lexon get torn to shreds by monsters!'
However, time ticked by. Under Sam chang's gaze, the Mushroom Island had long since become overrun with monsters, wandering and filling every nook and cranny. But the completely defenseless skyblock? Not a single zombie had appeared. It was no different from the daytime!
"That's not right! Where are the monsters?"
"Mark's side has already killed seven or eight zombies. Why hasn't a single zombie appeared on the skyblock?"
"Outside Sam chang's place, there must be at least ten monsters, right?"
"Something's wrong, definitely something's wrong!"
"How can this be?"
Following Sam chang's perspective, the audience voiced their confusion. Monsters were supposed to spawn at night, regardless of whether it was a test.
Logically, given the skyblock's area, a dozen zombies should have appeared by now.
Looking closely, Director kay was the first to discover it. "That's not right! It's not that monsters aren't spawning, it's that the monsters aren't spawning *on the skyblock*!"
Since night fell, Lexon had spent most of his time spacing out, only occasionally glancing back at the stone house. It was these few glances that allowed Director kay to spot the clue.
"The zombies... they all spawned inside the small stone house!"
"He knew all along that monsters would appear there!"
Eyes wide, Director kay found it incredible. Why wouldn't zombies appear on the skyblock, but only in the stone house? Why was this happening? What on earth had Lexon done?!
Skyblock.
Lexon gazed into the distance at the scene on the Mushroom Island. Skeletons and zombies were everywhere; it was completely occupied by monsters.
He remembered that monsters weren't supposed to spawn on Mushroom Islands. If development wasn't a concern, it was actually a very safe place to live. The current situation was probably related to the so-called test.
"Monsters have appeared already?"
Gripping the stone sword he had just crafted, Lexon looked at the mob-spawning platform made of stone.
At this moment, through the half-block space, he could clearly see many skeletons and zombies inside. He walked to the outside of the room with his stone sword. Sensing the player approach...
"Urgh!"
The zombies raised their arms slightly, and the skeletons raised their bows. All of them entered tracking and combat mode!
Their frenzied side was exposed. Lexon could clearly sense the killing intent from the zombies.
This was the first time he had come face-to-face with monsters from the block world. The stench of rot rushed over him.
"This is so much more real and exciting than the game!"
'No wonder so many people are afraid. Without Steve's physique, it's really troublesome for a normal person to handle them. But...'
He could tell the zombies desperately wanted to rush out and tear him to shreds, but they were constrained by the blocks. The hard stone, lacking any support, floated in mid-air in a way that perfectly conformed to 'block-physics,' trapping all the zombies in the stone house.
"Urgh! Urgh! Urgh!"
The zombies could only let out powerless roars of rage.
At this time, Lexon just needed to take his stone sword and swing it through the half-block space.
[-5!]
[-5!]
[-5!]
[-5!]
Unable to attack Lexon, the zombie died immediately after four hits. A dozen zombies were reduced to a floor full of rotten flesh and experience in an instant!
"Is he hacking?"
"No, seriously, bro?"
"Everyone else is fighting for their lives, and he's just insta-killing them?"
"Huh?"
"I suspect I'm still asleep. Let me punch you and see if it hurts."
"Holy crap, that hurts! Bro, are you crazy?"
"I felt the pain! It's not a dream!"
