Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

Over the next two days, Shop No. 1's business continued to boom, and the glass bottle shop was doing quite well too.

Contrary to what the forums predicted, the glass bottle shop did not have to lower its prices due to lack of demand.

From the day it opened until now, business had been getting better and better.

Originally, the shop had stocked 960 glass bottles, and now half of them had already been sold.

Lin Fan's gold coin reserves had soared to an astonishing 300,000—a number he hadn't anticipated.

At first, he thought it might take one or two weeks to earn that amount, but to his surprise, he managed to do it in just three days.

That morning, Lin Fan woke up early and spent 200,000 gold coins to expand his land to 30x30.

With this new size, his land could now completely encompass the glass bottle shop as well.

After completing the expansion, Lin Fan decided to continue constructing more buildings.

So, early in the morning, he headed straight to the Slave Auction House and spent 50,000 gold coins to purchase a beautiful young woman.

Although she wasn't as stunning as Lilian, she was far more attractive than Chris.

Lin Fan assigned the new girl to manage Shop No. 1, while Chris took over the operations of the glass bottle shop.

Although the glass bottle shop was relatively easy to manage, the transactions involved large sums of money, so Lin Fan preferred to entrust it to someone he had more faith in.

Compared to the new girl, he naturally trusted Chris much more.

With all the responsibilities properly distributed, Lilian was now completely free from any work duties.

The girl tilted her head playfully, grinned mischievously, and then ran off to play in the river.

Recently, the forum has become more active than ever, with many new topics overshadowing the glass bottle discussions.

After skimming through the posts, Lin Fan realized that the Federation research division had recently integrated into a village and officially announced that they were now living alongside native inhabitants.

By coexisting with the original residents, they had finally discovered ways to survive in this world.

They then shared their survival methods through detailed forum posts.

Lin Fan checked some of the most popular threads:

🔹 "Stone Pickaxe Discovered! This is How You Accurately Mine Cobblestone!"

🔹 "How is Lin Fan Farming? Turns Out He's Using a Stone Hoe!"

The research division had purchased a large number of stone pickaxes and stone hoes from wandering traders and posted step-by-step guides with images explaining how to use them.

The posts immediately attracted widespread attention.

"Wait, cobblestone disappears because we weren't using a pickaxe?"

"I thought cobblestone was just impossible to mine in this world. Turns out we just needed the right tool!"

"Finally! Now that we can collect cobblestone, we can trade for more supplies with the wandering traders!"

"Shoutout to the research division and Li Cheng for actually doing something useful for once!"

"Yeah, say what you will about them, but this time, they really came through for us."

"I've had so many seeds but didn't know how to plant them. Turns out we need to till the soil with a stone hoe first!"

"I just bought one too—thank you, research division! Now I can eat something other than hunted meat!"

"Hahaha, we've finally moved from the Primitive Age to the Agricultural Age. This is a huge breakthrough!"

After reading these posts, many people immediately purchased beds, stone pickaxes, and stone hoes from wandering traders.

For the first time in a long while, they could finally get a proper night's sleep.

However, with the research division's recent exposure, Lin Fan also found himself under scrutiny.

"Lin Fan is too selfish! He bought stone pickaxes and stone hoes from the wandering traders and figured out how to survive on his own, but he never told us how to collect stone or how to farm!"

"And you guys were calling him a savior?"

"I used to think he was decent, but now it's clear he's been keeping a lot of things hidden from us."

"Back when no one could collect stone, he was the only one who could. He never even mentioned that we could buy pickaxes from the wandering traders!"

"Hah, I used to think he was the real deal, but now it looks like the Federation is actually doing the right thing."

"Disgusting. This is a life-and-death situation for humanity, and he chose to keep it secret and even profit from it. If this isn't exploitation, then what is?"

"Enough said. From today onward, I'm completely against Lin Fan!"

The forum was flooded with these kinds of posts.

Lin Fan wasn't surprised at all.

The moment he discovered wandering traders existed in this world, he knew that his business wouldn't last forever.

And he also knew that once the survival methods were exposed, he would inevitably be attacked.

However, he genuinely didn't know that the wandering traders sold stone hoes and pickaxes—because he had made all of his tools himself.

Now that a misunderstanding had formed, no amount of explanation would help, so Lin Fan didn't even bother trying.

Faced with all the insults and accusations, there was nothing he could do except ignore them.

Meanwhile, at the Federation research division

Inside a newly constructed office, Li Cheng sat at his desk. The dim firelight flickered, casting shadows across the room.

"What's the current discussion on the forum?" Li Cheng asked impatiently.

A man in glasses adjusted his glasses and calmly reported the situation.

"Right now, most forum discussions favor the Federation. People are thanking the research division and Director Li."

"That's not what I'm asking." Li Cheng waved his hand dismissively, clearly annoyed. "I'm asking about the discussions regarding Lin Fan."

Ever since Lin Fan humiliated him in public, Li Cheng had never let go of the grudge.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been a proud and arrogant person.

And now, Lin Fan had publicly embarrassed him—how could he possibly tolerate that?

He swore that he would make Lin Fan pay.

Hearing this, the man in glasses hesitated for a moment, seemingly caught off guard by Li Cheng's question. But after a brief pause, he quickly recovered.

"Lin Fan seems to have angered the masses this time. Most people are furious, calling him a profiteer who exploited the disaster for personal gain."

"Hmm..." Li Cheng's expression relaxed noticeably. He seemed very pleased with this answer.

"That's exactly what I wanted."

After a moment of contemplation, he turned to the man in glasses.

"Issue an order. Find someone unrelated to the research division to post on the forum. Make a thread attacking Lin Fan for profiting off the crisis—make it as harsh and ugly as possible!"

His voice was cold and sinister.

The man in glasses broke into a cold sweat. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after a long pause, he swallowed his words.

"Understood, Director Li. I'll handle it right away."

With that, he turned and left the room.

Not long after, a new forum post appeared:

[New Tools Exposed—Lin Fan Hid So Much, Profiteering Off a Crisis! Absolutely Disgusting!]

As soon as the post was published, the man in glasses mobilized a group of people to boost and share the thread.

Within minutes, it shot to the top of the forum rankings.
