Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

The mineshaft Lin Fan had dug was exceptionally neat. As he descended, torches were placed every seven layers, a clear display of his obsessive attention to detail.

The evenly spaced torches made the entire shaft look aesthetically pleasing.

Lin Fan raised his iron pickaxe and mined the redstone he had spotted last time. He carefully filled the empty space with cobblestone to keep things tidy.

"You actually know that redstone can only be mined with an iron pickaxe?" Lilian said, surprised, as she watched his swift and precise actions.

Lin Fan stored away his pickaxe and continued forward with Lilian.

"Isn't that just common sense?"

"Not really," Lilian rolled her eyes at him.

"Think about the others who came to this world with you. Do they know these things? Most of them don't even know how to gather cobblestone, let alone crafting recipes or anything like this."

Hearing this, Lin Fan chuckled awkwardly and avoided answering.

Lilian gave him a curious look.

"That's why… you're really strange."

"What's so strange about me?" Lin Fan shot her a sideways glance.

Lilian thought for a moment.

"You're unusually smart, and you know so much. It's like there's nothing left for me to do."

Lin Fan glanced at her and smirked.

"Well, I am the only one in the world lucky enough to get a full-time maid. I can't be too shabby, can I?"

"That's true," Lilian agreed with a nod.

The two chatted as they walked to the end of the 11th layer.

"You follow my mining method. You mine the left side, and I'll take the right. That way, we can work faster," Lin Fan instructed before starting to dig.

The minerals on the 11th layer were indeed more abundant than other layers. After mining just a few blocks, Lin Fan had already found two iron ores and three redstone blocks.

Since iron ingots were still scarce, both Lin Fan and Lilian used stone pickaxes while mining. The iron pickaxe was only used for extracting redstone.

Not long after they started, Lilian uncovered a massive opening on her side.

"Master, it's a mineshaft," Lilian called out. Lin Fan immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Perfect! I was hoping to find one. Grab your stone sword; let's check it out," Lin Fan said excitedly as he jumped down into the opening.

Mineshafts were rich in minerals, with most ores exposed on the surface, making them much easier and faster to mine.

Aside from mining, Lin Fan had another goal for entering the mineshaft: monster hunting.

The land deed was crucial for Lin Fan. A 20x20 area was far too small, so he needed to save up gold coins to expand its boundaries.

From the moment he obtained the deed, Lin Fan had decided that he would establish his own empire in this world. To achieve that, he needed to find ways to accumulate gold coins.

This thought filled Lin Fan with excitement. He drew his stone sword, placed a torch by the edge of the opening, and began exploring.

The pitch-black mineshaft lit up as he placed torches along the way.

From where he stood, Lin Fan could see a trickle of water flowing through cracks in the stone, steadily heading toward his direction.

Meanwhile, Lilian observed the surroundings and swung her stone pickaxe to mine the coal beneath her feet.

Lin Fan continued forward cautiously, placing torches and scouting ahead.

After only a few steps, a white arrow shot out of the darkness, striking him square in the chest and causing him to lose two hearts.

Lin Fan clutched his chest in pain, tears almost welling up from the sharp sting.

Despite having been in this world for so long, this was the first time he had been hit by a monster, and he hadn't expected it to hurt this much.

Lilian, who had been mining nearby, immediately noticed what had happened. Her brows furrowed, and in an instant, she swapped her pickaxe for her stone sword.

Before Lin Fan could even figure out where the skeleton that attacked him was hiding, Lilian shot forward like an arrow, ready to engage.

Shortly after, Lin Fan heard the sound of bones clashing.

[Gold Coins +5]

Lilian held her stone sword, her golden hair flowing elegantly with her movements, her expression as cold as ice.

To Lilian, the most important person was Lin Fan.

If anyone—or anything—dared to harm him, no matter if it was human or monster, she would chase them down and eliminate them without hesitation.

Seeing Lilian's fierce demeanor, Lin Fan's expression softened.

"Don't get so worked up. It's just a skeleton, no need to overreact," he said with a chuckle.

"No, I can't allow anything to endanger your life," Lilian replied firmly. She was incredibly stubborn on this point, leaving no room for discussion.

Touched by her concern, Lin Fan felt a warmth in his heart.

"We came down here today to farm monsters. We'll run into plenty more later, and it's not like I can't fight," Lin Fan explained helplessly.

Even so, Lilian remained wary.

"If you want to farm monsters, let me build you one of those small shelters like yesterday. It's far too dangerous down here," she insisted.

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"There's no need for that. Don't underestimate me—I'm quite capable."

After a long back-and-forth, Lilian finally nodded under Lin Fan's persuasive words.

After all, she was only acting out of concern for him, so Lin Fan made sure to choose his words carefully to respect her feelings.

Killing the skeleton had yielded a bone and an arrow, which Lin Fan picked up and stored in his backpack.

The two continued deeper into the mineshaft, where Lin Fan found several iron and coal ores.

While the amount of iron might still be insufficient for all their needs, they had more than enough coal.

Between the coal Lin Fan had gathered and what Lilian had, they had roughly a full stack—enough to last them a long time.

Wielding his iron pickaxe, Lin Fan uncovered five or six pieces of redstone.

Just as he was about to stop mining, a group of green-shirted, blue-pants-wearing figures began stumbling clumsily toward him.

Their hoarse growls, sounding like wood being sawed, grated on his ears.

Lilian's sharp instincts kicked in. As the zombies neared Lin Fan, she drew her stone sword and charged at them.

Of course, Lin Fan didn't stay idle. He raised his own stone sword and swung it at the incoming zombies.

As a man, how could he let a woman protect him all the time?

However, zombies were tough, with 40 health points each. A stone sword dealt only 5 damage per hit, meaning it would take at least eight strikes to kill one zombie.

In situations where he could keep the zombies behind a barricade, Lin Fan didn't find them too troublesome.

But now, he was starting to feel the strain.

The slight knockback effect of his stone sword wasn't enough. As he struck one zombie, another stepped forward to take its place.

One after another, they pressed in, leaving Lin Fan overwhelmed. At one point, a zombie even managed to land a hit on him.

The scratch sent a jolt of pain through Lin Fan, causing him to momentarily lose grip of his sword—it nearly fell to the ground.

That was the last straw for Lilian.

Fury burned in her eyes as she gripped her sword tightly. A powerful gust of wind swirled around her, and she launched herself at the surrounding zombies with an unmatched ferocity.

Her speed and movements were astonishing. Lin Fan couldn't help but stare in awe.

Lin Fan: "…"

What the heck? Was Lilian even human? How could anyone fight like that?!
