"Everyone, keep up the good work!"
"I trust all of you. As long as it's for the sect, I won't limit your methods or approaches!"
"Keep it up!"
He Yiming gave the players an encouraging smile before heading toward the spirit fields. But deep inside, he was bewildered.
How were the players achieving such incredible results?
Even with his mastery of the Azure Emperor Longevity Body, it would take him at least ten days to speed up the sprouting of low-level spirit herbs. These players, however, had only barely grasped the basics of the technique, yet they'd somehow managed to get the seeds to sprout in just one day.
When He Yiming reached the spirit fields, the answer became painfully clear.
Not only were these players boiling SH (yes, dung), but they were also refining SH.
In a corner near the fields, Niu Roumian was busily tossing sack after sack of boiled dung into an ancient alchemy furnace. Moments later, the concoction was transformed into small, brown SH pills.
Watching as they ground the SH pills into a slurry and used the Azure Emperor Longevity Body to stimulate growth, He Yiming tilted his head in disbelief.
"This… is an actual method?"
His four years of formal education at the Haotian Academy were being overturned before his eyes.
Using dung as fertilizer was logical.
Using the Azure Emperor Longevity Body to enhance growth was also reasonable.
But combining the two to speed up the sprouting process from one month to one hour?
Somehow, it… made sense?
Seeing the players preparing to plant seeds across all 1,000 acres of the sect's spirit fields, He Yiming decided not to intervene. "The more spirit fields we cultivate, the better!"
A while later, He Yiming gathered all the players back at the sect square.
"Why is he calling us again?"
"Hey, look at that huge machine. What is it?"
"Shh, let's just listen."
The players' curiosity was piqued, especially as they glanced at the imposing Brick and Stone Cutter standing beside He Yiming.
"My dear disciples," He Yiming began, gently patting the machine beside him.
"You've done well cultivating the spirit fields and nurturing the seeds. I'm very pleased!"
"However, the sect remains in disrepair, and there's much more to do."
"This device is called the Brick and Stone Cutter. I will teach you how to use it."
"With this tool, I hope you will build and strengthen our sect's foundations!"
He Yiming then released a series of team-building quests, which appeared in the players' interfaces:
[Sect Quest: Build a Kitchen]
Type: Team Quest (Max Team Size: 10)
Objective: Construct a kitchen based on the blueprint.
Reward: 1,000 sect contribution points (shared among team members).
[Sect Quest: Build a Dormitory]
Type: Team Quest (Max Team Size: 10)
Objective: Construct a dormitory based on the blueprint.
Reward: 1,000 sect contribution points (shared among team members).
[Sect Quest: Build Main Roads]
[Sect Quest: Build a Fertilizer Refinement Room]
[Sect Quest: Build a Warehouse]
Each task served a specific purpose.
Dormitories would provide disciples a safe place to rest or log off.
The kitchen and warehouse would streamline daily operations.
Main roads would connect key buildings, with plans in place for future structures like an alchemy hall and forging workshop.
Most importantly, the fertilizer refinement room was designed specifically to contain the stench of SH production, sparing the rest of the sect.
"Whoa, construction quests?"
"Damn, we can actually build stuff? This is amazing!"
"Finally, my time as an MC player will pay off!"
"Team quests? I've been waiting for this forever!"
Excitement swept through the players like wildfire.
One player in particular, ID: MC Myth, had a glint in his eye.
A legend in the world of Minecraft 3, he was a renowned builder and strategist.
"This isn't just a Brick and Stone Cutter…" MC Myth thought to himself, "…it's a Creator's Machine!"
After quickly learning the machine's mechanics, he logged off, determined to retrieve some of his old design blueprints.
Players quickly began forming teams.
"Kitchen crew forming now! Join up!"
"Join Team Starry for efficient construction! Guaranteed to finish two quests!"
"Hey, hey, pick me!"
Within moments, the teams were organized. Their respective leaders grabbed the blueprints from He Yiming, while the rest began collecting materials.
Luckily, the sect was surrounded by rubble from its century-long disrepair. Players easily scavenged broken stones, and if they ran out, they simply mined more from the nearby mountains.
The players split into three main groups:
Monster grinders: A small group that continued hunting War Camel Beasts.
Farmers: Led by specialists like Niu Roumian and the Farming Master, these players focused on the spirit fields.
Builders: The largest group, enthusiastically working on sect infrastructure.
"Place that brick here. No, over there!"
"Hey, move faster on this side!"
"This road section is done. Let's start on the next!"
The construction effort was a marvel to behold. With the Brick and Stone Cutter, players effortlessly produced perfectly shaped bricks, which were incredibly lightweight and easy to handle.
Building structures was almost like playing with oversized LEGO bricks.
In just half a day, the players had completed the kitchen, warehouse, dormitory, and other structures.
"Their speed is incredible!" He Yiming said, utterly impressed.
But just as he was admiring their progress, several players emerged from the revival hall, faces pale and frantic.
"Boss! We're under attack!"
The words caught He Yiming off guard. "Under attack?"
The players nodded, their expressions grim. "Yeah! We were ambushed!"
