Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

Run to the lava-making area, scoop out all the lava from the alchemy pot, and stuff it into the charred storage tank of the charred furnace.

The charred tank is a miniature liquid storage container that can hold four barrels of magma.

Yang Bo looked into the charred furnace as he looked at the remaining excess lava.

"While there's plenty of lava now, let's make more obsidian."

Simply inject a bucket of water and a bucket of magma into the smelting furnace through the coke drain hole, and the two liquids will instantly alloy in the coke smelting furnace to form 288mB of molten obsidian, which is the quantity of one piece.

This would perfectly solve the problem of not being able to mine obsidian or other high-grade ores without diamonds.

Pour the excess lava into the furnace through the drain outlet, then add buckets of water in a 1:1 ratio.

A large amount of molten obsidian was obtained.

"1, 2, 3... seven pieces in total. Since we can't build a Nether portal, let's upgrade the pickaxe first."

If you don't upgrade your pickaxe to obsidian grade, you won't be able to dig anything when you put down the obsidian, which would be a joke.

After a flurry of activity, a black obsidian pickaxe was finally cast.

It waved gently twice.

"It does feel faster, I wonder how fast the cobalt pickaxe will be."

The remaining molten obsidian in the charred furnace is drained and processed into ordinary obsidian, which is then stuffed into a box.

I glanced at the time.

"Anna, you should get some rest. I'm going to go get some supplies."

"Boss, you... be careful."

"rest assured."

Yang Bo revealed a confident smile, then tidied up the things in his backpack and stepped into the mist that had appeared.

"They didn't even open the windows to let in some fresh air."

As soon as he emerged from the fog, Yang Bo couldn't help but complain.

Boom—

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded outside the office, and a light patter of raindrops pattered against the completely blackened windows.

The overall atmosphere of the abandoned office on level 4 became even more oppressive.

"It's raining?"

Yang Bo's gaze fell on the blackened windows on the wall, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

What's outside the window?

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat, and after this thought came to mind, it felt like a cat was scratching at his heart.

'Gather some resources first, and then try again when the time is almost up…'

If what's outside the window is 'emptiness' or a dangerous entity, wouldn't it be a waste of the whole night if he rashly ventured out?

As I walked forward on the gray carpet, some dust rose up from the carpet and then slowly settled down.

The rain outside showed no signs of stopping; in fact, it seemed to be getting even heavier, with occasional rumbles of thunder.

Put a metal desk into your backpack.

"This table takes up one square, and it doesn't actually have much iron; it's not even as good as the pipes in level 2."

He was really disgusted. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he could easily find some papers at level 4, he would really want to go back to level 2 to pull out the wires.

Just then, a dry, broken, low growl came from afar.

"hound?"

These guys' cries are illogical; even a couple of soft cries can travel a very long distance.

This is also the best way for homeless people to avoid it in advance.

boom--

A crisp gunshot rang out.

Yang Bo, who was originally going to check on the hunting dogs, was taken aback at first, then quickened his pace.

boom--

Another shot.

This time it's much clearer; it's obvious that someone encountered a physical entity earlier.

With a thought, the iron axe from his backpack appeared in his hand.

While the cleaver's attack power was indeed higher, he felt that the iron axe was more practical inside the building. Besides, taking down a mere hunting dog with an iron axe was already giving it enough face.

A sharp, piercing scream rang out.

'Hit?'

The sound was the sound a hunting dog makes when it is injured. After passing a load-bearing pillar, Yang Bo saw two people running for their lives.

A hunting dog followed closely behind them.

"Over here!!"

Yang Bo called out, and when the two men saw someone calling out to them, hope immediately ignited in their eyes, and a surge of power returned to their bodies, which were already nearing their limits.

"Help!"

Yang Bo gripped the iron axe tightly with a serious expression, staring at the disheveled hunting dog that was frantically chasing the two of them.

In an instant, the two people passed right next to him.

He raised the iron axe and brought it down swiftly.

puff.

The axe blade struck the hound precisely on the forehead, and the experience orb flew out of the hound's body.

Its body rolled forward several times along Yang Bo's body due to inertia. Yang Bo turned around, shook off the blood and some unidentified tissue on the axe blade, and looked back at the two people who had turned around to check the situation.

The two men slowly stopped, forced a smile on their faces, and then bent over, panting heavily.

Chapter 45 Object 14 Scarab

One of the two men was wearing a faded dark gray hoodie with the hood pulled down over his head, the brim of which covered most of his face.

The other man was burly and at least 1.9 meters tall. He was wearing a tattered khaki work shirt over a dirty white vest, which was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his back.

"Thanks..."

After catching his breath, the guy in the hoodie stood up, reached down and took off the hood, revealing a face that looked to be around 25 years old.

He took a thermos from his backpack, opened it, and took two gulps.

It looks like it contains almond water.

"I never expected to meet a hunting dog here. My name is Zero. It's an honor to meet you."

His gaze fell on the hunting dog on the ground, which had been almost split in two. His pupils dilated slightly, clearly indicating that his inner state was far from as calm as his face suggested.

He immediately labeled Yang Bo as inhuman.

Upon hearing the other person's self-introduction, Yang Bo couldn't help but inwardly scoff.

'Your name is Zero? Then is the muscular guy next to you named One?'

"You can call me a businessman."

Yang Bo observed the two men's bodies and clothes, trying to figure out which organization they belonged to, but unfortunately, there were no familiar markings on them.

"A businessman? You're from BNTG?"

The young man asked with some doubt, clearly indicating that he was the one in control between the two, which made Yang Bo feel wary.

It wasn't out of any malice.

The fact that he could team up with a muscular man and become the leader in a creepy place like the back room clearly shows that he must have something special about him.

"No, he's just an ordinary homeless person, but he prefers to trade supplies with other people."

BNTG – Non-Aligned Trade Group.

Is it considered a top-tier force within the inner circle? Core principles: absolute neutrality, business-based, never participating in the struggles of large organizations like MEG and ASP, and strictly adhering to neutrality.

The goal was to establish the largest trading network in the inner chambers, using resources and almond water to control order.

They will never initiate war unless attacked, believing that "harmony brings wealth."

Overall, BNTG has resources, manpower, and credibility, making it a kind of 'Wall Street' in the back room plus mercenaries.

"Excuse me, where is the nearest human settlement to us?"

“We don’t know either. Since arriving at level 4, we’ve been surviving on our own. We’ve managed to get by with the food and almond water we’ve scavenged, but we were just unlucky today and ran into the hounds.”

Seeing their dejected look, Yang Bo couldn't help but tease them, "I think you guys are really lucky to have met me."

"Indeed, if it weren't for you, we probably would have had to fight that hound to the death this time."

Hounds are tantamount to mad dogs.

Although they are very strong, two armed adults can definitely take them down, even if it means getting injured.

But the problem is... if you get injured, it's almost certain you're done for, and it won't be long before your body mutates and you turn into a new hunting dog.

Where are you planning to go next?

"Let's find a place to rest first."

"In that case, my friend, I'll go and get back to my work."

Ling was taken aback when Yang Bo left without any intention of taking advantage of his kindness, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"Hey, wait a minute."

"Is there anything else?"

"Don't you like trading? We found a dung beetle sculpture on level 1. Although I don't know its specific purpose, I know it's definitely not just a simple sculpture. It sometimes makes some soft chirping sounds. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
