The world outside the "matchbox" has completely turned into darkness.

The moonlight shines on the junction of plains, forests, and coasts, adding a bit of coldness and loneliness to the world.

Team Leader Yang glanced at the scenery outside, then turned back indoors.

"This place is pretty good, with mountains, water and woods, and a wide view, which makes it easier for us to do more experiments."

She walked to the [workbench] and began to check her existing item synthesis list, "Stairs...steps...fences...what is this wooden pressure plate? Have you made it?"

"No." Fang Lingyan replied honestly.

"Then let me make a try... Well, I think it will be something similar to the [button]." As he spoke, Team Leader Yang had already placed the [wooden board] on the [workbench] and followed the instructions on the synthesis table.

stand up.

In less than three seconds, she made a [wooden pressure plate].

"I……"

"Roar--"

Team Leader Yang just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was suddenly interrupted by a low roar.

"What, what's the sound?" she asked in a panic.

"Well, 'Firebringer' said in the introduction that there will be some monsters at night in the game... Do they appear directly near the player?"

As Fang Lingyan spoke, he walked to the [wooden door] and reached out to close the door, "I don't know if this door can block the monster's footsteps. If it can't..."

"Why...why did this suddenly become a horror game?" Team Leader Yang listened to the roars of the monsters approaching outside, and his mood became more tense than ever.

If she had known that this game had horror elements, she would never have participated in the review.

Now if she wants to go back on her word, she will be embarrassed in front of her subordinates...

"By the way, I saw before that you can make wooden swords in the game. How about we make a wooden sword for self-defense first?"

When Fang Lingyan said this, he had already walked to the [Workbench] and quickly started making the [Wooden Sword].

"Do wooden swords work?"

"With the raw materials we have now, we can only make wooden swords...or we can wait until daytime and look for other raw materials that can be used to make weapons?"

"Okay." Team leader Yang responded, then walked to the [workbench] and nervously started working on the [Wooden Sword].

Fang Lingyan smiled silently and said nothing more.

In fact, Team Leader Yang is only eight years older than her.

She is 24 years old and Team Leader Yang is 32 years old.

Strictly speaking, both of them are still young people.

Noticing that the other person was showing some fear, she didn't feel that it damaged the other person's image. Instead, she felt that he was cute like this.

This will make her feel that the other person is just an ordinary person, not an "advanced creature" who is aloof and out of reach.

Hmm... She has been playing too many weird new types of games recently, and she feels like she has become a slut.

Back to business.

After the two finished making the [Wooden Sword], they still didn't wait for the invasion of monsters. They could only hear low roars lingering around.

"Could it be that...in fact, they can't get in at all?" Team Leader Yang hesitated.

"Well, it's very possible." Fang Lingyan responded.

"So, we just need to stay here until dawn?"

"That's probably it."

"call……"

Team Leader Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Then I will continue to study the item synthesis table."

"Then I..."

Fang Lingyan thought for a while and asked for her opinion, "Shall I try digging some distance underground?"

"Why are you digging underground?" Team Leader Yang became nervous again when he heard this.

At this time, if you make such a dangerous move... don't attract the monster back!

"Let's see if there are any usable raw materials underground. If so, we can synthesize new items."

Fang Lingyan explained, "We have nothing else to do anyway, so why not try more."

"emmm..." Team leader Yang fell silent.

He felt as if he had nothing to object to.

If you continue to stop the other party, it will easily make the other party doubt your own motives.

"Then I'll go dig?"

"……Be careful."

"Well, I promise to dig one step at a time." Fang Lingyan agreed.

After hearing this, Team Leader Yang stopped worrying and turned around to continue studying the item synthesis table.

Speaking of which, she seemed to be able to make a [box] by placing the [wooden board] on the [synthesizing table] and circling it around.

With the [Box], she can store all the [Saplings], [Seeds], [Flowers] and other items that may seem useless for the time being into the [Box], and then save space in her backpack.

Um……

Perhaps, she can also make a few more [boxes], and then classify the items into different boxes.

This way, it will probably be much easier for her to find items in the future.

The most important thing is that she discovered that there is something like [Notice Board] in the item synthesis table.

Put the [signboard] down and she can write a text on it.

By combining it with the [Box], she can get a [Box] with text descriptions!

Such gameplay...

Team Leader Yang feels that he has slowly discovered the fun of this game.

...The multiplayer online game without plot seemed not as unbearable as she imagined.

After a while.

Team leader Yang made two [boxes] and then erected a [notice board] next to them to explain the types of items stored in the [boxes].

After doing all this, she turned around with satisfaction and planned to see how Fang Lingyan was doing in digging the tunnel.

The next second, she saw a dark hole on the ground behind her.

The entrance to the cave was deep and dark, with no light coming out.

She swallowed subconsciously.

"Fang Lingyan?"

"Here, what's wrong?" Fang Lingyan's voice came from the side.

Team Leader Yang breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

She almost forgot that she was playing a game and not actually surviving in the wild.

This is so damn immersive!

"Are you in the hole in the back?"

"Well, I'm digging coal down there."

"Coal mine?"

Team Leader Yang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but widen his eyes, "There are coal mines in this game?"

"Yes, I just dug it up and was about to tell you!"

Fang Lingyan explained with a smile, "I first dug a few cobblestones with a wooden pickaxe, and then the system prompted me to synthesize new items, so I made a synthesis platform directly on the spot and found a lot of stones in the synthesis table.

How to synthesize qualitative tools.”

After a slight pause for half a second, she continued, "Then I made a stone pick and used it to dig out two boulders. I found that its digging efficiency was particularly high, so I started digging down non-stop.

"Not long after that, I found some rocks with many black spots on the surface.

"When I dug up these rocks, a few pieces of coal fell into my backpack."

While she was talking, she never stopped playing with coal.

In just half a minute, she had already dug out more than a dozen pieces of coal.

"Oh..." Team leader Yang responded thoughtfully, then asked, "Then what is the use of these coals?"

"More torches can be made!"

Fang Lingyan said excitedly, "With a lot of torches, I can just stick the torches on the wall. I no longer have to hold the only torch with my hands and dig out rocks in the dark passage!"

"Can't they be burned?" Team Leader Yang asked.

"burn?"

Fang Lingyan hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded, "Yes, when I just looked at the item synthesis table, I found that there is a new recipe for using cobblestones to synthesize a furnace... This furnace should be specially used to burn things, right?

?”

"The furnace..." Team Leader Yang muttered and repeated.

In addition to synthesized items, are there any fired items?

Does this mean that the item synthesis table in the game will become richer?

Emmm…

She found that she seemed to be increasingly unable to understand the game.

...How can "Firebringer" make the gameplay of the game so complicated?

In other words, is this what a plot-less game should be like?

"Eh?" Fang Lingyan suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong, are there any monsters?" Team Leader Yang came to his senses, tensed his nerves instantly, sat up straight, and switched the [Wooden Sword] to his hand.

"I just dug a piece of iron ore!" Fang Lingyan said in surprise.

"Iron ore..." Team Leader Yang fell into silence again.

"Well, I'll go back after digging these pieces of iron ore. We'll study these new things in a while."

"good."

As the two of them acquired more and more items, the surprises this game brought to them seemed to become bigger and bigger.

Perhaps, what the two of them have explored so far is just the tip of the iceberg of this game...

"And...team leader, what do you think of this game now?" Fang Lingyan asked.

"It's interesting." Team Leader Yang replied casually.

"Ah, is it just a bit interesting?"

Fang Lingyan murmured softly, "How do I feel that this game is more fun than "Portal"."

"The two games have different types and different gameplay. There is no comparison at all... If you think "Minecraft" is more fun, it may be because you prefer to play this type of game." Team leader Yang laughed.

"What about you, team leader? Which game do you prefer?" Fang Lingyan asked curiously.

"Hmm...probably this is the same one."

"The team leader also thinks that this kind of game where you can freely decide what you want to do is particularly interesting?"

"Yeah." Team Leader Yang responded without saying anything more.

She really didn't want to admit that she had been deeply attracted by the unique gameplay of this game.

She really wanted to end the review right now.

...but her body didn't want to, and neither did most of her consciousness.

She still has a lot of things to do in the game, and a lot of unknown content that she hasn't explored yet.

She... doesn't want to go against her true feelings.

Return to the game world.

Fang Lingyan returned to the surface with a large pile of [round stones], [coal], and [iron ore].

Afterwards, the two of them studied the new synthesis table for a while, and finally succeeded in using the [Smelting Furnace] to bake the [Iron Ingot].

This also means that the two of them have officially entered the Iron Age!

Team Leader Yang looked at the various new formulas unlocked because of [Iron Ingots] and fell into a state of complete confusion.

[Iron Bucket], [Rail], [Mine Cart], [Protective Gear], [Scissors], [Compass], etc.

With these items, the style of the entire game world has become completely different!

How many more surprises can this game bring her?

How much unknown content does this game still have?

Does "Firebringer" really want players to completely live in this game world?!

"At dawn, those monsters seem to have disappeared?" Fang Lingyan suddenly said in surprise.

"Disappeared?"

Team Leader Yang calmed down and listened carefully, and indeed he did not hear the roar of the monster again, "Well, it seems that there is no problem... If the monster does not disappear, then for novice players, it will basically be impossible to survive.

It’s a nightmare.”

After all, this is not a hardcore monster-killing game, but a survival and construction game.

If the "fire bearer" can't even understand this, then the other party is not a "fire bearer".

"That's right..."

Fang Lingyan muttered softly, then turned to ask, "Then what are we going to do today?"

"Let's decorate and expand the 'Matchbox' first... at least make it look like a room."

Team Leader Yang thought about it while checking the item synthesis table, "Then we will explore towards the plains to see if there are any sheep... Wool is a key material for making beds, we must get it as soon as possible."

"Team leader, are you sure the bed can be used for sleeping?" Fang Lingyan expressed doubts.

"So far, there haven't been any completely useless items in the game, right?"

Team Leader Yang said, "Since the Fire Carriers have designed such a thing, they will definitely give it corresponding value and use... Regarding this, I still trust them."

After a pause, she added, "Besides, how are we going to spend the long night without a bed?"

"We can go mining underground!" Fang Lingyan said without thinking.

"..."

Team leader Yang was silent for two seconds and said, "You can't go mining every night, can you?"

"I……"

Fang Lingyan opened his mouth and was about to say "I can", but he reacted instantly and agreed instead, "Then let's expand the house today and go find the sheep tomorrow?"

"Well, let's do it like this." Team leader Yang responded.

"Then...how long are we going to play?"

Fang Lingyan paused for a moment and deliberately emphasized, "I mean in reality."

"Just...before get off work." Team leader Yang said calmly.

She has completely given up on herself.

In other words, she has been completely conquered by this game.

How could those people from "Firebringer" make such an outrageous game!

Story-less multiplayer online game...

Who cares about this?

Games like "Minecraft" can already create a new era of gaming!
