"That... seems to make some sense?"
"I was confused before, but after Sam-chang-imnida's explanation, it's suddenly clear!"
"Those are the only things he's done. It must be that changing the blocks caused the monster spawn area to change!"
"Yeah, no one else replaced their blocks, only him!"
"So lucky! He just happened to build the stone house in the spawn area!"
"I really thought he was the player who understood the game the best. Turns out it was all luck!"
"Without luck, Lexon is just trash!"
"Right, he can't compare to our handsome and cool Okamura-kun at all!"
Following Sam chang's line of thought, the more the audience thought about it, the more correct it seemed.
He didn't know the dangers of the night, so he lingered outside, and he built his room so shoddily, lacking a proper entrance or door.
Isn't this the classic performance of a rookie?
Since he was a rookie, maybe he used some petty cleverness to make the cobble generator... but he definitely wouldn't understand the rules or how to use mechanics!
Understanding the cause of the situation, the audience turned to another question:
Why did Sam chang say Lexon wouldn't survive the night?
"Right now, he's suppressing the Samurai and Liberty Nations to become number one. He looks very impressive."
"Look closely. Is there any food on Lexon's island?"
"The only three apples he had were eaten long ago! It's all stone!"
Sneering, Sam chang's tone was sarcastic.
"Perhaps this Jiuzhou contestant just likes to eat abnormal food? Maybe he's swallowing rotten flesh and stones?"
Saturation consumption was related to what the player was doing, and when saturation hit zero, the player would suffer various negative effects, with a high risk of starving to death!
Fighting and mining were the things that consumed stamina and saturation the most!
Rotten flesh looked like meat, and eating it could increase saturation, but it would inflict the Hunger effect. The more the contestant ate, the hungrier they became, and it would even accelerate saturation depletion. It was no different from drinking seawater when thirsty—it just sped up death!
To maintain his first-place rank, he was constantly exhausting himself.
There was still a long time until daybreak. The only final outcome was a dead end!
"Replacing the blocks... that is indeed one of the possible theories. If we go by what Sam chang is saying..."
"Immersed in the thrill of killing and ranking, Lexon is in a very dangerous situation!"
Fries's expression changed dramatically.
When he first entered a civilization, he was also very afraid of zombies and the like, until he defeated them for the first time. An immense joy had rushed to his head. He understood that feeling very well.
Especially now that this was related to rankings, it was very easy for a person to get lost in that emotion and be unable to get out!
By the time he realized it, his stamina would be depleted, and it would be too late!
But his items had been exhausted in previous civilizations. He didn't have anything like a Sign on him. He could only worry in his heart.
They watched as Lexon killed more and more monsters, gradually going from one hundred to one hundred fifty, then breaking two hundred.
Despair gradually grew in the hearts of Mark and Jett.
At first, they could still compete. But at this rate, by the time the sun came up, Lexon might have killed over a thousand monsters.
What the hell were they even competing for?
A thousand zombies! Even if they worked themselves to death, they couldn't catch up to even half of that!
"Damned Jiuzhou!"
Just as they were thinking of giving up, a Sign suddenly appeared nearby. On it was a message of encouragement for them.
[Don't give up! The first-place reward is extremely important!]
[The Jiuzhou contestant is just lucky! He replaced the blocks on his island, causing a spawning error! He has no food left!]
Stopping in his tracks, Mark turned to look at the monsters.
He certainly knew that the difference between the first-place and second-place rewards for the trial was night and day. First place would gain an advantage that could secure victory over the others.
Since they were willing to use a precious Sign just to tell him this news, Lexon definitely couldn't last much longer!
"Jett, hold on! Jiuzhou Nation can't last much longer!"
"Victory will belong to us in the end!"
...
Just as Sam chang predicted...
After chopping, and chopping, and chopping...
After an unknown amount of time, Lexon felt his stomach rumbling. He was extremely hungry.
"That's over two hundred zombies killed already?"
Looking at the ranking data, he felt a little surprised.
'I take back what I said about there being few monsters.' The spawning efficiency was indeed much better than he had imagined.
Thanks to the Hand of Steve, if he had been using his previous body, his two arms would definitely be too tired to lift after swinging a thousand times like this.
But now, aside from being hungry, his condition was simply fantastic.
He wouldn't feel tired even if he chopped down another ten thousand zombies.
This... this is the power of us Block People!
"There really is no food on the original skyblock, nor any tools to produce food."
However, just because there was none on the island didn't mean the zombies didn't have any.
The drop rate was very low. Killing two hundred-plus zombies had only dropped a total of three potatoes.
Based on a drop rate of about 1%, it was almost as rare as an iron ingot.
Very few people had killed so many zombies at once. It was only when they saw the potatoes that the audience remembered.
"I remember now! Zombies have a chance to drop food!"
"I remember there are two kinds, carrots and potatoes, but the drop rate is extremely low!"
"He couldn't be thinking of using potatoes to stave off hunger, could he?"
"A nice thought, but it's too late!"
"After fighting for so long, I guess his saturation bar is already at rock bottom. And each potato only restores half a segment!"
"Without a furnace to cook them, three plain potatoes only restore one and a half segments. Compared to the long night... it's a drop in the bucket!"
"Haha, our Liberty Nation is the true and deserving number one!"
Lexon certainly knew that potatoes restored limited saturation.
So, from the very beginning, he had no intention of eating them directly.
If he could see the bullet comments outside, he would definitely ask a question.
'Have none of you ever farmed? Are you all just stupidly waiting for plants to mature naturally?'
'Even an idiot should know to use fertilizer and water, right?'
Minecraft didn't need fertilizer or water. It had an even more convenient material.
Bone meal.
He didn't even need a crafting table. He just had to take the bones dropped by the Rex skeletons he killed and put them into his personal four-slot crafting grid.
Very quickly, a model of concentrated white powder appeared in his hand.
A grass block was placed next to the water source of the cobble generator. Then, he used wood to make a hoe.
He tilled it a few times symbolically, and a perfectly neat patch of farmland took shape.
He planted a potato, and a small green sprout emerged from the surface.
At this time, he just needed to sprinkle the bone meal on it, and he could see...
The green sprout began to grow vigorously, from the initial green leaves to a small potato plant, and then the potato gradually grew and matured.
When the leaves and stems grew tall and he could clearly see the potatoes underneath, Lexon knew...
It was time to harvest!
He grabbed the stems and pulled. One potato planted, four potatoes harvested.
On average, each potato plant could yield three to four fruits. He planted the three.
In an instant, eleven potatoes were recovered.
He casually ate a few to restore his saturation to full, then planted the rest back.
Full of energy! Lexon was back at his peak condition!
The bullet comments that had been flooding the screen moments ago seemed to be hit by a pause button. The entire audience fell silent.
"Magic! It's magic!"
"Lexon has magic! He made the potatoes mature!"
"Yes! Those green sparkles are the manifestation of magic!"
"My God! I have seen a miracle!"
