Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

"I feel relieved seeing everyone cursing Lin Fan. He's really making a profit off a national crisis—absolutely disgusting, isn't it?"

"+1. I used to have a good impression of Lin Fan, but now I don't feel the same way at all."

"Profiting from a crisis, hiding the real situation from us just to make money—what kind of person does that? No need to say more."

"Where are the people who were praising Lin Fan as a savior before?"

Because of the recent exposure of stone hoes and pickaxes, many people had developed a strong dislike for Lin Fan.

After all, they had already been in this world for one or two weeks. Lin Fan had started farming from the beginning, while they had only just learned how to do it. It was naturally hard for them to accept.

However, despite the complaints, there were still plenty of people defending Lin Fan.

"I don't think Lin Fan is really profiting from a national crisis, is he?"

"Yeah, the tools he has are definitely made by himself."

"Oh, so Lin Fan's blind followers are here. Even after all this, you're still defending him?"

"No, this isn't blind defense. Think about it—Lin Fan hasn't taken a single coin from us, right? The wandering traders sell stone swords, hoes, pickaxes, and axes for 25 gold coins each, but Lin Fan sells them for 20. Do you think he's buying them from the traders and losing 5 gold coins per sale just to sell them to us? That's impossible, so these tools must be crafted by Lin Fan himself."

"The guy above makes a good point—I'm with you, brother."

"I agree. Plus, at the start, the only place where you could trade oak logs for stone swords was Lin Fan's shop. The wandering traders only accepted gold coins. If we hadn't bought stone swords from Lin Fan, how could we have killed monsters to earn gold and then buy pickaxes and axes?"

"Exactly! Think about it—if Lin Fan hadn't sold us stone swords, we wouldn't have been able to kill monsters, and we'd have nothing to buy now."

"So how is Lin Fan profiting from a crisis? He saw that we had no gold coins and let us trade with oak logs. Why aren't you guys considering this before attacking him?"

"Hah, who knows? Anyway, Lin Fan has made quite a lot of money from us."

"That's hilarious! Lin Fan's stone swords are 5 gold coins cheaper! The wandering traders are the ones really making a profit off you, but you're still mindlessly hating on Lin Fan?"

The forum was filled with various opinions. Some were criticizing Lin Fan, while others were defending him.

After all, these were simple facts—some people could understand them, but others just couldn't.

Lin Fan saw no need to argue with those who lacked logical thinking.

As he looked at the posts cursing him on the forum, Li Cheng couldn't feel more pleased.

He scrolled through the discussions while humming a tune.

'This is just a small lesson. You dared to humiliate me? I'll make sure you won't survive in this world!' Li Cheng sneered coldly as the dim torchlight in his room flickered.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan had no idea that Li Cheng was the mastermind behind this smear campaign.

To him, it didn't really matter how people insulted him—as long as his business remained unaffected, he didn't care.

The only thing he was slightly worried about was his glass bottles. He had set their price at 500 gold coins. If a wandering trader started selling glass bottles as well, his reputation in this world would be ruined forever.

But worrying wouldn't change anything—his shop still had to keep running.

Even though there was a lot of negative talk about him on the forum, many customers still crowded around Shop No. 1 and the glass bottle store. After all, Lin Fan's prices were much cheaper than those of the wandering traders.

After casually glancing through the forum comments, Lin Fan closed the page and climbed up the trapdoor ladder.

Hu Tiancheng, who had been waiting outside, immediately approached him anxiously.

"Lin Fan, you finally came out. I've been looking for you."

"What do you need?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Seeing Lin Fan looking so calm and relaxed, Hu Tiancheng let out a sigh of relief.

"Did you see the forum? Everyone is cursing you. I was worried you'd be upset," Hu Tiancheng said.

Lin Fan gave him a strange look before heading toward the farmland.

"Why would I be upset? If they want to curse, let them curse."

"You can't think like that! You should quickly make a post explaining everything. A lot of people still believe in you. As long as you clarify the situation, they'll definitely stand by your side unconditionally," Hu Tiancheng urged as he followed closely behind Lin Fan.

But Lin Fan remained indifferent.

"They can think whatever they want. It doesn't affect me."

Lin Fan walked to the edge of the farmland and looked at the crops growing in the field.

Several days had passed, and by now, the crops were fully grown and ready for harvest.

He stepped forward and pulled a lever. In an instant, the wooden planks attached to four pistons retracted.

Water flowed from the four designated slots, washing over the field and sweeping all the ripe crops into the center collection area.

Hu Tiancheng, who had been anxiously trying to persuade Lin Fan, was stunned by what he saw.

"What… what is this?"

Not only him, but the customers waiting in line nearby were also dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! What is that?"

"All the crops disappeared in an instant?"

"Wait, no—look at the middle. It seems like the mature crops and seeds have all gathered there."

"Let me take a look— Whoa…"

"Thinking back to what Lin Fan said a few days ago… this seems to be a redstone automatic farm!"

"An automatic crop harvester?"

Everyone exchanged glances in shock as they watched Lin Fan calmly switch the lever back. The water flow instantly disappeared, leaving the farmland intact.

Lilian, who had been watching curiously, also looked astonished. She understood how pistons, redstone, and redstone repeaters worked, but she had never seen them used in this way before.

"I get it now!" Lilian suddenly exclaimed and ran over from the riverbank.

"The water can wash away crops directly, making for a quick harvesting method!"

"Master, you placed pistons to hold the water in the four corners, then connected them all with redstone. Finally, you linked everything to a lever, allowing you to control the water flow with a single switch to harvest all the crops!"

"Master, am I right?" Lilian stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Lin Fan proudly as if she was seeking praise.

Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm. He reached out and gently ruffled her hair.

"Smart girl, that's exactly right."

Hearing Lin Fan's confirmation, the surrounding onlookers gasped in amazement.

"This is a redstone automatic farm?"

"My god, how did he even come up with this?"

"I suddenly feel like this is so complicated."

"Let's not even talk about the crafting process for pistons and redstone repeaters—just the ingenuity of this setup is already beyond what most people can imagine."

"And people are still arguing about whether Lin Fan made those simple tools himself?"

"If Lin Fan can create a fully functional redstone automatic farm, do you really think something as basic as stone swords and pickaxes would be a challenge for him?"

"Hahaha, I think so too."

"I really wonder what the people who were insulting Lin Fan are thinking right now…"
