05. More Mobs! The Great Hunger!

*Crack!*

A two block tall passage was created and a figure can be seen inside, two glowing white eyes shine throughout the darkness.

The figure was Vincent who was still underground mining.

He continued to walk and accidentally almost fall into the deep caves under but managed to recover back on the passage.

"Damn, this place is so faraway from the ground." He muttered to himself.

Before he could pull out a water bucket to MLG down there, Vincent noticed a moving thing down there.

A deep turquoise block with lighter colored dots all around it, a block that have a mouth-like thing on top of it, a block with a wavy thing on top of it, a block that have its lower half in whiteish color and on the nearby blocks there was also a vein-like structure that appeared on top of them.

All of these blocks give him an eerie feelings and then he remembered where did these damn block came from.

"Damn! I ventured into the negative Y-level? Well whatever, in my current state, I couldn't even last even a minute against a warden let alone defeating it to tame it." He muttered to himself.

'I think I've already collected enough materials,' He thought to himself as he looked at the three double chests tightly tied to his body "If only the Zombies barrack doesn't have that strange bug that only allowed Zombies to spawn and not others, I wouldn't have to get out of my way to create a new one…"

He closed the hole and went back from where he came from.

He need to create a new mob farm and the design he's going to choose is for the creepers, he wants to tame creeper as fast as possible so that he doesn't have to deal with those explosive bastards anymore in the night.

…

He finally arrived in the huge cave he previously entered.

It was the cave that have a hole from the surface leading to it, these world generation is thanks to the cave and cliff update.

*Boing*

*Boing*

Soon after arriving he was greeted with two huge slimes, one medium slime and one small slime.

"What's up you guys?" He said as he catch the small slime that jumped on his hand.

*Squish*

"Haha, now let's leave this place, we need to take the Zombies trio on the surface before continuing the journey!" He said with enthusiastic voice.

He jumped on the biggest Slime and the medium sat beside him while he hold the small one in his hand.

*Boing!*

The slime jumped to surface with ease followed by the other huge slime.

On the surface, there was a small floating platform that block the sunlight from reaching the Zombies trio below it and beside the Zombies there was also three spiders that was chilling with the Zombies.

After the Zombies noticed Vincent's presence, they were overjoyed to see their master back from mining.

…

"Hey Akshavak, you, Jawless and Left handed will enter the huge slimes body, inside them you won't be hurt by sunlight even if we were journeying in broad daylight and for the spiders you guys could ride the medium sized slime by sticking on the slime's body and I will ride this guy." He explained.

One of the huge slime quickly consumed the three Zombies and got slightly bigger due to its increased mass and the spiders crawled on top of the medium slimes as Vincent quickly jumped on the other huge slime and directed the way to continue the journey.

The slimes jumped through the forest as the sun was still perfectly bright.

Outside of the game, pocket dimension.

"Zen, how many people have already put the game on their wishlists?" He muttered to his AI assistant.

[Around 2.7 Billion people.]

"Hah… I really hope this game will not fail…" He said as his expression showed desperation.

He took a glance at a holographic panel on his left side of vision.

"God darn it! Why must the forced mission be so damn hard?! I constantly having a headache due to the need of thinking of new ideas for updates to keep the games entertaining and spoken about…" He muttered to himself as he was overwhelmed by stress of working on 100 games to not let any of them die or become unpopular.

"Hah… luckily all of my other 99 games at least have a stable position and was not going to run out of fans anytime soon but Minecraft… I hope it could do the same magic as it did in my past life…" He muttered to himself as he stared at the huge screen infront of him.

A huge screen that showed the progression of Minecraft then he looked at a calendar nearby to his table.

"One day left…" He left the pocket dimension to sleep.

'Well, I didn't expect to be able to tame a wolf too, I thought it only applied to hostile mobs… wait aren't spiders technically neutral too? Well whatever and the tamed wolf doesn't turn into a white dog with collar but remain a wolf… interesting.' He thought to himself.

Vincent Ho still jumped around the Taiga as the medium slimed that have the three spiders on top of it and the packs of wolf was inside it and the huge slime at the back that was bigger than ever due to the three Zombies and two Skeletons.

At the desert.

Steve was fighting against a creature in the middle of the desert.

Wearing a full unenchanted diamond armor and wielding an unchanted diamond sword, Steve was surprised as the creature infront of him have a quiet the fondness of enchantments.

"You take away all the enchantments of all my items that was the result of my hardwork… I'm going to fucking kill you, you damn glutton!" Steve said with a murderous intent as he lunged at the creature.

The creature then quickly burrowed into the sand making Steve missed his attack and it soon appeared behind him.

"This mob are quite agile don't you think?" Steve once again muttered to a gray cube beside him.

Before attacking Steve grabbed an enchanted book and threw it to the creature before him.

The creature saw the book and ate it.

Soon, the creature spat it out again and the book lost the enchantment.

"So… basically this mobs are a walking and worse grindstone? It doesn't even give experience! And now I know how to not have my equipment ruined by you gluttonous bastard…" Steve get into a fighting stance before he lunged at the creature and throwing an ender pearl behind him to anticipate the burrowing.

Like he predicted, the creature burrowed to the spot nearby to where his ender pearl will land and in a quick succession he decapitated the mob.

"Huh? Is this an item?" Steve picked up an item that looked similar to the head of the creature.

Putting in his inventory and throwing out some worthless dirt, Steve continued his journey in the world he saved thousands of years ago.
