After Rookie left, Notch then entered the game pod. After taking a deep breath, he finally opened this work that gave him the most sense of accomplishment.
He arrived at the character creation screen. Notch directly created a character that looked pretty much like himself. Bald head, kind eyebrows and good eyes, thick beard.
After confirming the appearance, he entered the name "Notch" in the name box.
Then entered the game.
———
At this moment, somewhere in the game's grassland.
A drowned holding a trident, a pufferfish, and a chicken were walking on foot across the grassland.
"Next target! The mountain forest village!!"
"There are five sheep and three pigs imprisoned by villagers over there! We need to go help them!"
"Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck!"
…
"Next next target! The player's base in the north!!"
"There are more than ten chickens cramped into a tiny space every day! Once the chicks grow up, they fall into lava and get burned to death! Too cruel!!"
"Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck!!!!!!!! Cluck cluck!! Cluck cluck!!"
"Uh… looks like this one is a bit more urgent, let's temporarily set this as the next target!"
…
"Next next next target!!…"
"…"
The pufferfish was hopping forward across the grass while constantly talking.
The chicken beside it also echoed the pufferfish's words. They seemed to be discussing the tasks they were about to carry out.
The drowned next to them, however, remained silent, quietly listening to the pufferfish and the chicken chattering away.
After walking for a while, the drowned suddenly stopped.
The pufferfish and the chicken took about ten more steps before realizing the drowned hadn't followed. Seeing this, they bounced back and saw that the drowned's face looked a bit tired, so they asked.
"Blue Demon, what's wrong?"
"Cluck… cluck cluck?"
Just as the pufferfish asked, before the drowned could respond, it again echoed with the chicken.
"I know, are you too tired?"
"Cluck cluck cluck?"
"We can rest for a bit, but we can't rest for too long, the upcoming tasks are all really urgent!"
"Cluck! Cluck cluck cluck cluck!"
"The rest of the Bio Association members are all working hard on tasks to earn points! We can't slack off either!"
"As the founders, we can't lose to the newcomers!"
"Cluck cluck cluck!! Cluck cluck cluck!!"
Looking at the state of the pufferfish and the chicken, it was hard to imagine the mental state of the drowned.
The tired look on his face seemed mostly due to the noise. The pufferfish and the chicken hardly gave him a chance to speak.
The drowned, seeing this, showed no strong emotion, seemingly used to it.
He stood still for a while, and once the pufferfish and chicken had finished talking, he finally found a gap to speak.
"I just feel confused about the future. Feels like we're doing pointless things. No matter how hard we work, there are still so many distress calls every day."
"This world seems like it'll never become what we imagined…"
"Everything we're doing feels meaningless. Conflicts still happen as usual, lives are still being harmed. We can save those lives, but we can't save the world…"
After hearing the drowned's words, the pufferfish and the chicken finally quieted down. They looked at the drowned. Just as the pufferfish was about to speak, it was interrupted by the drowned.
"This world is already in chaos. It needs a reset. To really solve the problem, we must find the source! Otherwise the problem will never be solved!"
After hearing the drowned's words, the pufferfish and chicken both looked extremely shocked.
"Something huge happened!! This is the first time Blue Demon has said so much in one go!!! Something huge happened!!!!"
"Cluck cluck cluck!!! Cluck cluck cluck!!!!"
This one drowned and one pufferfish were Blue Demon and Pufferfish Jio.
Since they met, they had always stayed together. While improving their strength, they also kept saving lives that needed help.
The chicken, just as talkative as the pufferfish, was one they rescued from a player's roast chicken machine.
The player had named it "Barbecue Sauce."
Probably because they wanted to eat barbecue sauce-flavored roast chicken, so they named it that. But Barbecue Sauce didn't seem to understand the meaning behind the name and really liked it.
From then on, Barbecue Sauce joined the team of one drowned and one pufferfish.
The group continued with their mission to save lives and rescue the world.
From the state of mind of Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce, they still seemed endlessly enthusiastic about what they were doing.
But on the rescue journey, Blue Demon's thoughts began to change. He started seriously thinking about why this world had become like this.
Why are there so many who trample on others' lives?
Why is there constant war?
Why do the immortals always stir up trouble?
These questions kept lingering in Blue Demon's mind. Until recently, he finally found the answer.
Thinking of this, he looked at Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce and said, "This world needs to be restarted. If there are no people causing trouble, there won't be any trouble."
"I will make it become what we hoped for! Will you come with me?"
After Blue Demon's passionate speech, the whole grassland fell into dead silence. He had thought his words would move Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce. But at that moment, the expressions on their faces were a huge slap to Blue Demon.
Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce both had utterly confused and clueless expressions.
(O.O)? (0.0)?
"Huh?"
"Cluck?"
From their clueless looks, it was clear their brainpower couldn't keep up with Blue Demon's thoughts. The atmosphere that had just started to burn instantly dropped to freezing point…
Seeing this, Blue Demon couldn't help but rub his forehead.
'Did I say it too deeply?…' Thinking this, Blue Demon gathered his thoughts and then explained to Pufferfish JIO and Barbecue Sauce.
"We've saved so many lives. Do you remember where we saved them from?"
After hearing Blue Demon's words, Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce finally stopped being frozen.
"Western mountain source player base! Northern forest player base! Southeastern tundra player base!…"
"Cluck cluck cluck! Cluck cluck!! Cluck cluck cluck!!"
"…"
Pufferfish JIO and Barbecue Sauce spoke for about five minutes before they finally finished.
Blue Demon nodded after seeing this, then said, "Most of our rescues took place at player bases."
Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce nodded in agreement.
"Yes yes yes! And also villages, but villages were fewer, and animals in villages were just imprisoned."
"Cluck cluck cluck!! Cluck cluck!"
Pufferfish JIO and Barbecue Sauce had good memories. They remembered every life they had saved. And most of the distress calls came from player bases.
Only a few came from villages. But without doubt, the situation for creatures in the player faction was much more dangerous than those in villages.
The village creatures were basically just imprisoned or forcefully tamed.
But creatures in player areas faced life-threatening dangers.
While Pufferfish JIO and Barbecue Sauce were thinking, Blue Demon continued, "Yes, most of the harm to life came from those players."
"As long as we get rid of those players, there won't be an endless stream of rescue calls anymore!"
Blue Demon racked his brain to make sure Pufferfish Jio and Barbecue Sauce could understand what he meant.
