Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

For a moment, Hu Tiancheng thought about Lin Fan.

Earlier, when he saw that Lin Fan not only had a furnace but also a stone sword, he couldn't help but wonder where all those things came from.

Did he trade with a wandering trader?

But how did he gather stone?

While Hu Tiancheng was deep in thought, his attention was drawn to a few new posts on the forum he followed.

[Discovered Wandering Trader] This world allows bartering—1 stack of dirt for 1 loaf of bread!

"Wow, I'm so jealous. I also came across a wandering trader, but mine wasn't selling food—they were selling emeralds."

"I'm crying tears of envy. Why didn't I meet such a generous wandering trader?"

"It seems that traders trading food are pretty rare. At least I haven't seen one."

"Trading 1 stack of dirt for 1 loaf of bread—is that even worth it? The hunger spent digging 1 stack of dirt might be more than what the bread restores."

"Yeah, it feels like a loss. You're better off eating apples."

"I just chop down a few trees every day, limit my movement, and I'm surviving just fine."

"This is the survival rule now? I love it—moving less to stay alive."

"Stop whining. Who isn't doing the same thing now?"

Reading the posts, Hu Tiancheng realized that wandering traders were fairly common in this world.

That was good—it meant he didn't need to debate whether to create a forum post about it.

After all, the wandering trader he met was selling furnaces. If he posted about it, Lin Fan might end up being ridiculed again.

As he scrolled through more posts, he stumbled upon a discussion about wandering traders trading furnaces.

[Furnace Source Revealed: Lin Fan's Furnace Isn't Homemade, It's from a wandering trader]

"I knew it! How could he have made a furnace himself?"

"He's clearly desperate to show off. Saying he made the furnace himself—does he really think we'd believe such nonsense?"

"Exactly. If he just admitted he traded for it from a wandering trader, we wouldn't even care."

"Uh… but it's 1 stack of cobblestone per furnace, right? How does one even gather cobblestone? Doesn't stone just disappear when you mine it?"

"Who cares? Either way, there's no way Lin Fan made it himself."

"Showoff. Trash."

The criticism of Lin Fan online grew louder. With the exposure of wandering traders, most people believed that Lin Fan's furnace couldn't have been homemade.

Whether Lin Fan's claims were true or false didn't really matter to these people.

In this world, they had too many grievances, and life was too harsh.

Seeing someone like Lin Fan living so comfortably triggered their resentment. Ridiculing him became a way to vent their emotions.

"Now that Lin Fan's reputation is so bad, do you still want to recruit him into the research division?"

"And with the news about wandering traders trading furnaces, it's almost certain that Lin Fan's furnace wasn't made by him," said a man in a blue suit and glasses.

The research division's director looked at the forum content with a calm expression.

"If we don't recruit him into the research division, are you going to come up with survival strategies? Can you do that?" He glanced at the man in glasses.

The man bowed his head in fear.

"I'm sorry. My skills are insufficient."

"Whether or not the furnace was made by Lin Fan doesn't matter. From everything we've seen about him so far, one thing is clear:

On the very first night he arrived in this world, he had a stone sword, killed zombies and skeletons, and received rewards we don't yet understand.

Those rewards might include something crucial for survival."

"Second, even if the furnace wasn't made by him but traded with a wandering trader, he still needed capital.

Trades with wandering traders generally require at least a stack of resources—64 units. Mining that much consumes an incredible amount of hunger. He must have a unique source of food.

Third, no one has figured out how to gather stone yet. Only he has managed to obtain it. Don't you think… he's qualified for recruitment into the research division?"

Li Cheng closed the forum page and turned to the man with glasses.

"We must recruit Lin Fan."

"But Lin Fan ignores us," the man in glasses said with some frustration.

"Then give him enough respect. The previous recruitment notice was open to everyone, so it's normal for him not to respond. Now, we'll post a special recruitment announcement for Lin Fan on the forum. Do you think he'll sit still after that?"

The man with glasses made a face.

"We're really going to recruit him with such deference? Isn't that over the top?"

"You can't catch the wolf without sacrificing the sheep. Do it!" Li Cheng seemed resolute.

The man in glasses could tell there was no convincing Li Cheng otherwise.

He had no choice but to let Li Cheng proceed with his plan.

About half a day later, Li Cheng drafted a recruitment notice and posted it on the forum.

"What's going on? Lin Fan didn't respond to their private recruitment, so now they're making it public?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. Isn't that guy really arrogant? Why so eager now?"

"Hey, where's the person who bet with me last time? Didn't you say Lin Fan would definitely respond? Looks like he didn't even acknowledge them."

"Wow, someone actually doesn't want to join."

"I love Lin Fan's attitude."

"Do you people even have morals? Lin Fan killed someone, and they're still recruiting him? Are we just ignoring that? Disgusting."

"Why are you so worked up? Of course they know about it."

"Like Lin Fan said, there's no societal structure in this world. Where would laws even come from? Don't bring the rules of the old world into this one."

"+1. I feel like this world is exactly how Lin Fan described it: survival of the fittest."

"I agree with that mindset, but I still don't like Lin Fan. And this whole recruitment move feels really off-putting…"

"The tone of the recruitment notice is so arrogant, like it's some massive honor for Lin Fan to join."

"To be fair, it is a huge honor. The only question is whether Lin Fan will care."

"Should we bet again? Will Lin Fan accept the recruitment this time?"

"I bet he will. He definitely will."

"I think so too. With this much effort to flatter him, he probably will."

"There's no shortage of people who want to join anyway. It's a big deal."

The recruitment notice sparked all kinds of debates, and Lin Fan's notification window wouldn't stop vibrating.

The forum's interface was flooded with activity the entire day.

Irritated, Lin Fan finally opened the forum.

He skimmed the content. Initially, he didn't want to deal with it, but the constant notifications were driving him insane.

Opening the recruitment notice, he started typing his response:

"Damn it, this is so annoying. The window's been shaking all day. Are you recruiting your dad?!"
