Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

'Is this what you call imposing presence?'

Tanjiro's body did not explode with golden light, nor did it spew out air currents; even the hem of his clothes was only gently lifted by a breeze.

His feet were firmly planted on the super-flat grass blocks in Minecraft, his shoulders relaxed, his waist slumped, and his breathing was long and almost silent, making him look like a deep, still pool.

This is the precursor to the breath of water taking root in the physical body.

The cold light was drawn silently, without any fancy slashes, just the most basic First Form: Water Surface Slash.

The blade flashed straight as water, tracing an extremely smooth arc in the air. It was clearly just an ordinary swing of the blade, but in Yang Bo's eyes, it was ridiculously fast and terrifyingly steady.

The air above the grass blocks seemed to be flattened by an invisible flow of water, and even the sound of the wind paused briefly.

Yang Bo felt a tremor in his heart. He seemed to understand something. He raised the iron sword in his hand and, imitating Tanjiro's movements, slashed out with his sword.

A terrifying whooshing sound rang out, and with the added weight and speed, a terrifying wind pressure appeared.

"Almost there..."

The wind pressure was purely due to his overwhelming power; according to his understanding, the wind pressure shouldn't be this high.

Tanjiro, standing to the side, had beads of sweat on his forehead. He had just sensed an extreme danger from Yang Bo.

However, upon closer inspection, no one could sense anything unusual about Yang Bo's body.

"Mr. Yang Bo, is your sword technique that unleashes a whirlwind the Breath of Wind?"

Yang Bo: "..."

I suspect you're mocking me.

He reached out and flicked the blade of the iron sword: "My sword is called Cold Light. It is two feet and six inches long with a blade three inches wide. It is forged from refined iron and weighs one hundred and twelve kilograms."

He looked Tanjiro up and down.

"It's probably twice your weight."

Tanjiro: "..."

Watching Yang Bo effortlessly carry two of his toys with one hand, Tanjiro finally understood what the difference in skill level meant.

What's the point of playing this game? You might as well go find a ghost to play with, carrying a spiked club forged from gorilla crimson sand iron and gorilla crimson ore.

Breathing techniques are ruining your future.

"Transaction complete"

A new notification appeared before Yang Bo and Tanjiro, and a look of joy appeared on Tanjiro's face: "Mr. Yang Bo, I can go back!"

"Can we go back now?"

"Ah."

Tanjiro pointed to the air in front of him and said, "The message above indicates that I have obtained the goods and can leave at any time. Moreover, if I want to come back, I only need to wait a week to return here."

He can come back?! What the heck?! Could it be that Tanjiro Kamado is the real protagonist, and I'm just Tanjiro's cheat code?!

However, Yang Bo quickly came to his senses and looked at Tanjiro, instructing him: "This trial is very dangerous, so please be careful. Also, if you can come back here, please bring me some paper, pens, food... well, anything you can bring, I need it."

As he finished speaking, a new prompt appeared.

"Procurement Task Posting"

"Procurement of materials: Unlimited"

"Procurement fee: Negotiable"

Bonus Reward: 1 Power Potion II

'What's going on? I don't get any rewards for selling items in my shop, but I do get rewards for purchasing items? That doesn't make sense.'

This time, the cheat code didn't pretend to be stupid; a new prompt was shoved right in his face the moment his thoughts popped up.

"Small rewards can increase the motivation of purchasing staff."

oh--!!

Then I'm fine.

I'm penniless right now, so why should I let Tanjiro, who's not well-off to begin with, bring me things?

We can't do without some kind of reward.

"What kind of power potion is Mr. Yang Bo mentioning here?"

It seems that Tanjiro did not have the ability to see the properties of the items.

"A potion that can increase your strength by 4% in 8 minutes, with no side effects, is perfect for use when facing a strong enemy."

Yang Bo patted Tanjiro, who was only 15 years old, and said, "Live well in the trials. Your sister is still waiting for you."

"Ok!"

Tanjiro nodded with unwavering determination.

"Well then, Mr. Yang Bo, I'll be going now."

"Go."

As Tanjiro turned to leave, a cloud of white mist suddenly appeared. He hesitated for only a moment before striding into the mist.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the mist dissipated.

Tanjiro's figure also disappeared.

"Tsk, they're gone..."

Looking at the iron sword in his hand, Yang Bo felt that there was no harm in practicing his power generation techniques.

Chapter 11 Procurement Time

Lying quietly on the wool bed, watching the clouds drift slowly across the sky, he felt as if there was no other life in the world besides him.

"It's almost evening. I hope I can kill some monsters. I wonder if any new customers will come tomorrow."

Anyone who has played Minecraft knows that the main theme of Minecraft is loneliness—building houses, farming, mining, and adventuring all by yourself.

Therefore, people should go out more, make friends, and read more books. Only in this way will you discover...

It's better to stay home and seriously find an interesting modpack to play.

The sky gradually changed from sky blue to deep blue, and a pure white, pixelated moon rose from the horizon.

Yang Bo sat up and took the iron sword from his backpack.

There was still no one around, and apart from the sound of the breeze, there was no other movement.

"No monsters at all? Peace mode?"

Minecraft features Peace, Easy, Normal, Hard, and a Java-specific Extreme mode.

Normally, monsters will spawn in other modes, but not in Peaceful mode. In fact, Peaceful mode restores your health and fills your hunger bar.

Unless it's an instant-kill attack, it's difficult to commit suicide.

Yang Bo put the iron sword back into his backpack, leaned back, and gazed at the stars in the sky that seemed to have been deliberately placed on the night.

"Never mind, I'll get some sleep first and see if any new guests come tomorrow. If it's a nice world, I'll try to follow their fog to see if I can leave."

Minecraft is great, but it's not a game for him to live alone for the rest of his life.

Do not!

If he lives like this for a month or two, he'll probably develop a condition where he talks to himself.

Before he could even close his eyes, the chat box, which had been silent for half a day, popped up again, seeking attention.

"The day is over. As the store owner, you should go out and buy some supplies to restock the shelves."

"In 10 minutes, you will be taken to the place where you last made your purchase. You currently only have 12 hours left to make purchases. As you make more purchases, your purchase time will increase..."

Upon seeing the notification, Yang Bo sat up abruptly.

"We have to go to the back room?!"

But then he thought about it again. Since he got stuck in the back room from his own world, if he wanted to go back, he would have to find a way from the back room.

'Shopping at night, coming back during the day…'

Yang Bo opened his backpack, and because he was worried that he would be suddenly teleported away, he filled all the backpack compartments. He also dug up and collected some soil, red flowers, and yellow flowers for this purpose.

'Since we can still return to… no, this is the real base, all we need to bring are the workbench, furnace, tools, and weapons. All the other miscellaneous items can be left here.'

The ten-minute countdown kept ticking in front of me.

Yang Bo took out a "small crate" from his backpack and placed it on the ground, then put all sorts of random things from his backpack into it.

"A flashlight, a torch, and a can of food are all you need."

The supplies in the Level 1 Habitable Warehouse are quite plentiful. Although he can't roam freely with his current strength, he is much safer than the average homeless person.

As the countdown ended, just like when Tanjiro left, a cloud of mist appeared in front of him, and Yang Bo's gaze became unwavering as he gripped the iron sword in his hand.

"Let's get some iron first, at least enough to make the iron bucket and the iron suit."

Stepping into the mist,

Soon, he saw a glimmer of light in the mist. Following the guiding light for about a dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up, and the thick mist vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The faint hum of electricity from the incandescent light bulb on the ceiling brought Yang Bo back to his senses.

The stench of blood, which I had grown accustomed to, became clear again upon my return, as I gazed at the unchanging maintenance corridor before me.

"I'm back again... I wonder if the power's come back on outside."

He had already figured out the maintenance corridor by the time he left. Apart from some tools that he had burned into iron pellets and a workbench that he found very useful, there was nothing of value left.

We walked to the iron gate leading to the warehouse area.

'These iron gates are pretty good too. If the power comes back on later, I'll take these two gates with me; they're worth at least two iron filings.'

He reached out and pulled open the iron gate, but before he could react, a dark figure pounced from the darkness outside.

Yang Bo subconsciously raised his arm to shield himself, and the next moment a sharp pain, like being pricked by needles, came over him.
