Give Star Iron a little MC shock

After exchanging a few polite words, the group left the Twilight Forest. However, as soon as they stepped out of the portal, they were startled by the lively scene outside.

Outside, a group of people dressed in various styles were pushing and shoving the Silvermane Iron Guards, indicating that they wanted to go into the Duskwood to take a look. However, they dared not make any rash moves because of the weapons in the Silvermane Iron Guards' hands, not to mention that there were also company employees guarding the place.

Jepard, who was maintaining order at the scene, saw Xing He emerge from the portal and immediately went to him.

"Mr. Xing He, these people all wanted to enter the Twilight Forest but we stopped them. The Great Guardian would like to discuss the Twilight Forest with you. Do you have the time?"

"Bronya? She probably wants to ask me if I want to open up Duskwood, right?"

Looking at the crowd of aliens, Xing He didn't even need to think to guess what Bronya wanted to talk to him about.

He probably won't have time to complete Twilight Forest now; the game is quite long, and the underground labyrinths are particularly troublesome.

It would be better to use it as a tourism project to generate revenue for Belloberg. Bronya would definitely give him a share of the profits. Although these profits wouldn't be of much use to Xing He, they could at least serve as operating funds for the Starry Sky Train.

"Sister Himeko, Uncle Yang, could you please talk to Bronya about the Twilight Forest?" Xing He turned to the two heads of the train crew: "I still have to go to Hell, after all, I haven't gotten the bedrock I exchanged for the Split Coins yet."

"Us?" Himeko asked, somewhat surprised. "Can we really go? Xing He created this world... we..."

Xing He smiled and waved to interrupt Ji Zi before she could finish speaking: "We're family, what's the big deal? As for the profit sharing, let's just use the Starry Sky Train's account."

Hearing Xing He say that they were family, Walter and Himeko felt a warmth in their hearts and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, we'll help with that."

After entrusting this matter to Himeko, Xinghe prepared to return to his base to retrieve some obsidian to build a portal to hell.

Although there is bedrock in the Twilight Forest, it is in the lower layers, and Xing He cannot destroy the bedrock in this world to prevent it from falling. If it falls, the bedrock in the Twilight Forest will fall directly into the void and will be difficult to collect.

The best way is to go to the bedrock of the upper Hell, where you won't fall into the Void Prison even if the bedrock is destroyed.

Upon hearing that Xing He was going to hell, San Yueqi, who had originally wanted to follow, immediately ran to Ji Zi's side and said she would help him bargain.

She had already experienced the temperature of hell. Even with the six-phase ice, she still felt hot. Moreover, the environment there was far from pleasant and not suitable for a beautiful girl like her!

Black Tower, Screw Goom, and Doctor Truth really wanted to go, but their faces were blackened from the Wizard Boss's explosion. As members of the Genius Club, they still had to save face. Besides, Arilo was now attracting the attention of the entire universe, and they might run into old acquaintances there. It wouldn't be good to lose face in front of them.

In the end, only Emerald remained by Xing He's side. Despite the fear on Emerald's face when she heard the word "hell" on March 7th, she still chose to follow Xing He without hesitation in order to complete the mission.

"Then I'll leave first."

Xing He greeted everyone, grabbed Emerald's arm, and flew back to the base with her.

Back at the base, Xing He immediately used the conversion table to exchange for fourteen obsidian stones and built a portal frame on the spot.

Jade, watching the dark purple cube, couldn't resist touching it out of curiosity. The surface was slightly cool, but she could feel a faint warmth emanating from the inside.

"Director Xing He, what's this block called? Is it hard?"

If we can't get a lot of bedrock from Director Xing He, then finding some other alternatives is not a bad idea.

"Obsidian, with excellent explosion-proof properties."

Chapter 163 Pinocchio, Prepare to Welcome Your Creator (Second Update)

"Excellent explosion-proof performance?" Emerald's eyes lit up, and she was about to speak when Xing He immediately raised his hand to stop her.

"Stop, don't talk business at a time like this, it'll hurt feelings."

After saying that, Xing He immediately took out a flint and steel to activate the Hell portal, and then went in first. Emerald had no choice but to follow him in.

This time, Xing He entered through the Hell portal in a good spot. As soon as he entered, an achievement popped up.

[Unlock Achievement: Popular Attractions]

[Achievement Points Earned: 10]

The Piglin Fortress spawned right next to him, directly helping Xing He complete the popular attraction achievement. Unfortunately, this time his target wasn't the Piglin Fortress.

"Director Xing He, what is that building next door?"

As soon as Emerald entered, she saw the dilapidated Piglin Fortress standing to the side. Judging from its style, which was completely different from the deep red Nether Rock next to it, Emerald immediately knew that it must have been built by the local civilization.

"Piglin Fortress, the home of the piglins. If you're interested, you can go in and have some fun. Just remember not to die, I haven't gotten my Split Coins yet."

Breaking through the bedrock doesn't require Emerald's help; she can go wherever she wants, as long as she doesn't die before I get the Split Coin.

Although Emerald was somewhat confident in her abilities, upon hearing Xing He's instructions not to die, she chose to stay obediently by his side.

Listen to others and eat enough.

"Since you're not going, then let's go."

Xing He glanced at the lower rock layer above his head, grabbed Emerald's arm, and flew up with her. After arriving at the lower rock layer, Xing He opened a hole in it and took Emerald inside.

Once they found a place to stand, they released Emerald's arm and then opened the mini-map to check the altitude while digging around with their pickaxe.

"Director Xing He, are you looking for bedrock?"

"Pretty much, but I need to find a bedrock layer at a fixed height."

In the bedrock layer of Hell, there are some places where several bedrocks are stacked together. Such bedrock is not easy to break. Xing He found the bedrock at Y-axis 127. Bedrock at this height is only one block high and is easy to break.

Fortunately, bedrock at an altitude of 127 meters is not difficult to find; Xing He simply dug around and found it.

Next came simple preparations. Breaking through the bedrock wasn't difficult; all it took was a few pistons, levers, and TNT. If Xing He wasn't wearing the Dark Matter Suit, he would have also used a trapdoor to block some of the damage from the TNT explosion.

(I won't go into the details of breaking the bedrock; you can find video tutorials to watch.)

After placing the pistons in the correct orientation, Xing He put down the T-shaped NT as well. With everything ready, he turned to remind Jade.

"Stay away, I'm going to detonate this bomb in a bit, but not too far, this TNT isn't that powerful."

Jade nodded and hid about ten meters away.

Xing He glanced back to make sure Jade was in position, then pulled the lever. As the lever fell, the TNT exploded.

Thanks to the dark matter armor Xing He was wearing, otherwise, if he had faced the TNT explosion without any protection, he would probably have been resurrected in bed by now.

After the explosion, Emerald peeked out from behind a bunker ten meters away.

"Director Xing He, is this over?"

Xing He waved to her: "It's over, but I can't be 100% sure."

This is only a method to break through bedrock, not a method to obtain bedrock.

However, Xing He felt that if the rules of the two worlds were to merge, the bedrock should be able to fall after it was destroyed.

If it doesn't drop, then he'll have to buy some mods to mine bedrock directly.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Xing He and Emerald watched the piston close to the bedrock with bated breath. After Xing He dug it away, a blackish-gray pixel block, no bigger than the palm of his hand, fell down.

Xing He was overjoyed and quickly picked it up, stuffed it into his backpack, and glanced at the item name. It was indeed bedrock.

As expected, the bedrock, influenced by this world, does not disappear directly after being destroyed, but is transformed into dropped items.

This also saves him the trouble of spending achievement points to buy a module that specifically destroys bedrock.

"Here, here you go."

Xing He handed the bedrock in his hand directly to Jade. Bedrock was nothing special to him. Since it could be destroyed and dropped, he could come here to collect it on a large scale whenever he wanted. Of course, no matter how large the collection was, it would not be able to provide the exaggerated amount that the Amber King needed.

"Thank you, Director Xing He."

Emerald carefully took the bedrock from Xing He's hand. She was quite surprised when she held it in her hand. It was an unbreakable block, so she thought it should be very heavy, but it felt as light as a feather in her hand.

"Just a heads-up, you can't put the bedrock down, or you won't be able to pick it up again."

To avoid the embarrassing situation of Jade being unable to pick up the bedrock after placing it on the ground, Xing He kindly gave a reminder.

Emerald nodded repeatedly, keeping Xing He's reminder firmly in mind. However, looking at the pistons and levers that Xing He used to break the bedrock, she couldn't help but ask, "Director Xing He, how can these... simple machines break through the bedrock?"

Xing He stroked his chin: "This is a loophole in the laws of the world, just understand it this way. You wouldn't understand it if it were explained in more detail."

Jade nodded without asking further questions. This was a confidential matter for Director Xing He, and asking more questions would only cause him to feel resentful.

"Now that we have the bedrock, let's go back. Hell is no good place."

As Xing He flew back with Emerald, Emerald remembered another important matter she had to attend to.

"Director Xing He, you will also be traveling to Pinocchio on the Starry Sky Train, right?"

"Well, after all, I heard from them that Pinocchio is the star of the event, so I definitely have to go and see what's going on."

Moreover, Xing He was really looking forward to entering a dream in Pinocchio. It is said that anything is possible in a dream, so could he also activate the creation mode in a dream?

It would be so awesome to activate creative mode in real life! So Xing He would definitely go to Pinocchio no matter what, even if it meant putting Mu Se in the cold palace and not having to fight all the bosses.

Emerald understood, then cautiously looked at Xing He's profile: "Director Xing He, I have a few colleagues who also do some work at Pinocchio. If you happen to meet them, could you give these inexperienced colleagues some guidance? After all, you are their superior."

"Oh?" Xing He was somewhat surprised: "They'll listen to me?"

Jade smiled and said, "Of course, Director Xing He, you are one of the few shareholders in the company! Apart from the other shareholders, everyone in the company is your subordinate."

"Alright, alright, if we encounter them, I'll do my best to command them."

Chapter 164 New Script (Third Update)

"Hey...."

Sambo leaned against the entrance of the Etherfront competition venue, looking at the deserted scene inside and couldn't help but sigh.

Why doesn't anyone play Etherfront?

A masked man walked over and put his hand on Sambo's shoulder: "This is different from your script, Sambo."

"What can I do about this!"

Speaking of this, Sangbo also felt a little aggrieved: "Who knew Xing He would actually come to Yalilo, and then cause such a huge commotion that affected the entire universe! Sigh!"

The masked man shrugged: "There's nothing we can do. That poem has made 35% of the intelligent life forms in the universe question their existence. Who has the mind to play games? Either they're too busy making a living to pay attention to the poem, or they're people who are studying it like crazy. And those who came here because of its reputation have all gone to Twilight Forest. It's not surprising that no one is playing Etherfront."

Sambo couldn't help but sigh again, pointing at the silver wolf who was dueling with her opponent in the arena: "Look, the number of participants has dwindled to the point that there isn't even one person left who can defeat the Star Core Hunter. She's almost wiped out all the remaining participants by herself."

"Who knows~" The masked man shrugged and patted Sambo on the shoulder with a grin: "Your Ether Front is probably doomed, and Arilo doesn't need the Ether Front to save him anymore. I guess I'm out of the picture. I'm going to have some fun in the Twilight Forest. I heard couple tickets are 50% off. Want to come with me?"

Sambo simply gave him the middle finger, and the masked man shrugged and turned to leave alone.

Sangbo glanced at the deserted arena and sighed again.

"Hey!"

In the arena, Silver Wolf defeated the last challenger and suddenly felt a bit bored. He left the venue without even attending the awards ceremony.
