Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The Small Shop Opens for Business



Lin Fan's face was still flushed red.

He really wanted to lecture Lilian about the fact that boys and girls shouldn't do things like that so casually.

But the little girl showed absolutely no self-awareness. She happily held onto her bread and skipped away to play by the river again.

Watching her, Lin Fan sighed affectionately.

"Forget it, let her be… It's not like I have a girlfriend anyway."

Shaking his head, he refocused on his small shop.

He decided to renovate the roof, changing it from a flat top to a triangular peak, making it look much more appealing.

Just as he finished the renovation, he noticed a group of people approaching.

"I think I see Lin Fan! Is this the place?"

"Look over there! There's a shop, and it has a sign selling furnaces and stone swords!"

"Damn, is this Lin Fan's territory? This looks way more legit than the wandering traders!"

"Legit? That's not even the main point! Look beside it—there's an entire farm! Look at how much he's growing! Don't tell me all of this belongs to Lin Fan?"

"What the hell?! We're still struggling to get the most basic food by chopping trees, and this guy already has a whole farm?"

"Man, this is so unfair!"

They grumbled in disbelief while making their way toward the shop.

As soon as they got close, they spotted Lin Fan busily working beside his small shop.

They had all seen his photo on the forum, so the moment Lin Fan looked up, they recognized him instantly.

"Brother Fan?"

"Wow, we finally get to meet you! We've heard so much about you!"

The group immediately started showering him with compliments, making Lin Fan feel a little awkward.

"If you're here to buy something, hurry up. I don't have time for small talk," he said coldly.

The group quickly realized they had been too over-the-top, so they got straight to the point.

"We want to buy some furnaces and stone swords. Do you have enough stock?" one of them asked.

Lin Fan glanced at him, then walked into his small shop and crafted five stone swords and five furnaces at the workbench.

"You can have as many as you need."

"That's great!" One of them grinned, pulling out a full stack of oak logs from his backpack and handing it to Lin Fan.

"I'll take one stone sword and one furnace."

Lin Fan remained expressionless, retrieving a stone sword and a furnace from his inventory and handing them over.

To be honest, trading an entire stack of oak logs for a stone sword and a furnace was a ridiculously bad deal.

But these guys didn't see it that way at all.

To them, getting a furnace and a stone sword in exchange for wood was something they never even dreamed of.

Plus, Lin Fan didn't have to worry about their supply—since their main food source was apples, they chopped a lot of trees anyway. Giving up a stack of wood wasn't a big deal for them.

All five players traded for a stone sword and a furnace.

In just a few minutes, Lin Fan had gained five stacks of oak logs—way faster than if he had chopped the trees himself!

He stored all five stacks in his chest.

The group wanted to chat with Lin Fan a little longer, but he completely ignored them.

Realizing he wasn't interested, they left together.

Shortly after they left, new posts started appearing on the forum.

One post was about Lin Fan's farm, and another was about his small shop.

At first, many people didn't believe they could actually buy stone swords and furnaces from Lin Fan.

But now that players had actually bought them and confirmed they worked, everyone believed it.

"Where are the people who said Lin Fan was lying? Say something now!"

"All you guys do is complain! Now let's see if you have the guts not to buy from him!"

"Thanks for the invite. Just got back from buying one. The furnace works great, and grilled meat tastes freaking amazing!"

"Waaah, I'm so emotional! I've been eating apples for days, and I finally get to eat real meat!"

"Stop showing off! You're making me jealous! I'm already on my way to Lin Fan's shop!"

"I think I need to hurry up. If he runs out of stock, that would be bad. So many people want to buy from him."

"Ah. now that you mention it, I better pick up the pace too."

That morning, many people still doubted Lin Fan, thinking he was scamming them. They didn't believe he was really selling stone swords and furnaces.

But now that others were actually grilling meat, they couldn't sit still any longer.

One by one, they gathered their stacks of oak logs and apples and rushed toward Lin Fan's shop.

Meanwhile, another heated discussion was unfolding in a different thread.

"What the hell is this? Is this entire field full of crops?!"

"I know what this is! I've seen it in villages before, but Lin Fan's farm is way bigger than any village farm!"

"I'm so jealous! I heard he's growing wheat and potatoes. Wheat can even be made into bread!"

"I'm crying. I've never eaten bread in my entire life. We all arrived in this world at the same time, so why is there such a huge gap between us?"

"I'm still gnawing on apples, but Lin Fan already has his own farm. I'm so jealous!"

"Does this make him a landlord? Can I go steal some crops?"

"Sure, if you dare. But just so you know, Lin Fan's 'girlfriend' doesn't hesitate to kill people."

"…Yeah, never mind."

"Do you guys think Lin Fan will start selling food in the future? He's growing so much of it."

"If he does, that would be amazing! At least we wouldn't have to struggle so much."

"Sigh~~ I hope Lin Fan has a kind heart and is willing to help others."

"I think he will. Selling furnaces and stone swords was already a way to help people survive, right?"

"Tch, you guys are overhyping him. This is just a business. It's not like we're not paying him for it."

"?? Are you stupid? Paying for things is normal. Did you expect him to give everything away for free? If he did, it would be total chaos."

"+1. Lin Fan's prices are already cheaper than the wandering traders'. Besides, what does he need so much wood for? Obviously, he's trying to help us out."

"Agreed. I can't believe there are still people blindly hating on Lin Fan."

By the end of the day, a steady stream of players had come to buy stone swords and furnaces from Lin Fan.

His business was booming so much that his original chest wasn't enough anymore. So, Lin Fan added two extra small chests inside the shop to store more supplies.

As the sky darkened, the number of customers dwindled.

Most people didn't dare to travel at night. Even if they were still on their way, they had no choice but to seal themselves inside small enclosed spaces and wait for morning.

Lin Fan did a quick inventory check—he had collected 26 stacks of oak logs!

He had played Minecraft for years, but he had never seen this much wood at once.

'This really proves the power of numbers,' Lin Fan thought.

Closing the chest, he made up his mind—tomorrow morning, he would use these oak logs to trade with the wandering trader for cobblestone.

Both he and Lilian had completely run out, and if they didn't restock, they might have to shut down the shop for a day.

But as he looked at his growing business, he felt a surge of excitement.

"My business empire is starting to take shape… It won't be long before it truly thrives."
