Cold, trembling.
And a fragrance of earth and grass.
Jack shivered and slowly got up, opening his eyes in confusion.
Upon seeing his surroundings clearly, his pupils suddenly constricted.
This was a perfectly preserved forest ecosystem, with flowers competing for beauty and birds circling.
It would definitely be a nice place for a vacation.
But the current scene was completely different from Jack's memory of the previous second.
"I remember... a dump truck ran me over..."
Jack touched his forehead, the lingering memories still carrying a phantom pain.
At this moment, he probably understood what had happened.
It was nothing more than the clichéd transmigration to another world; it was simply happening to him, a corporate slave, nothing surprising.
Closing his eyes, Jack took a deep breath, feeling a healthy body he had never experienced before, his gaze shifting from its previous numb state to clarity.
"The top priority is to figure out what kind of world this is."
Jack walked to a large tree and lightly tapped its trunk, but an urge to "punch" the tree arose in his mind.
He looked at his fist, then at the old tree whose texture was as hard as rock.
For a moment, he hesitated.
"I have a strange sense of déjà vu."
Curiosity ultimately outweighed instinct, and Jack threw a punch.
Thud!
A crisp sound came, and Jack didn't feel any pain, but he had indeed hit the old tree.
Thump, thump, thump!
After several more continuous punches to the tree, the part of the trunk he hit visibly shrank by a circle.
"The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger."
Jack, holding a certain guess, continued.
Tens of seconds later.
When Jack broke the last "wooden stick" supporting the old tree, with a crash, the entire tree fell.
As it fell, it transformed into countless small brown blocks, small wooden sticks, and saplings.
[Achievement Unlocked: Lumberjack Lumberjack]
[Reward: world coin × 100]
The above text floated above Jack's head.
Silently, he bent down and picked up the scattered oak logs and other items on the ground. Jack "skillfully" opened his inventory and crafted dozens of wooden planks from the logs, then used 4 wooden planks to craft 1 crafting table.
He, Jack, a 21st-century corporate slave and civil engineering brother, absolutely loved playing MC World!
...
Half an hour later, on a dirt slope.
Jack was gnawing on a pristine apple.
"First, one thing can be confirmed: I have indeed transmigrated into the MC World. Although the current scenery can be understood as having ultra-high-definition shaders and realistic texture packs, all the basic rules still follow the original MC."
Thinking of this, Jack somewhat regretted not having learned electrical skills from his computer science friends back then.
As a civil engineering brother, he spent all his time in MC building magnificent Baroque-style architectural palace complexes, which was like re-employment in the game.
His best friend, who had played with him since childhood, studied computer science, so he would always say, "Why are you playing with redstone in an adventure modpack?" But then he'd dutifully go build mob grinders, Villager trading halls, and redstone technology.
Honestly, if his best friend had transmigrated into this world instead of him, he would probably be living a much more comfortable life.
At least he wouldn't have to worry about basic resources.
"Oh, and what about world coin? What is that? Is it my cheat for transmigration?"
With a thought, Jack's inventory interface was replaced by something that looked like a shop interface.
[Newbie Gift Pack: 100 world coin][Supporter's Red Potion (12 bottles): 100 world coin][Supporter's Blue Potion (12 bottles): 100 world coin][Bottle o' Enchanting: 1 world coin][Random Mod Pack (1st time): 100 world coin][Big Lotto (1 time): 100 world coin][Big Lotto (11 times): 1000 world coin][Big Lotto (120 times): 10000 world coin]
A nine-grid interface, with eight items arranged around the perimeter, and two options in the middle: one for purchase, and one for refresh.
"These are things not found in MC, but this crude interface... could it be some undeveloped web game?"
Muttering to himself, Jack directly placed an order for the Newbie Gift Pack.
In the past half hour, he had been engrossed in punching trees bare-handed, accumulating nearly 10 stacks of logs in his inventory, and was preparing to scout for a lakeside location to build a house.
The Newbie Gift Pack now was just right.
If it came with a Colonial Mod or something similar, he wouldn't have to build a house himself; he could just generate it with a blueprint template at the click of a button.
"Open Newbie Gift Pack!"
As he silently recited this phrase in his mind, the purchased package-like item in his inventory opened.
[Obtained Mod Integration Pack -- dragon adventure][Obtained Supporter's Red Potion 12 bottles][Obtained Supporter's Blue Potion 12 bottles][Obtained Building Blueprint -- Linjian Cabin][Obtained Maid Charm (Unused) 1 piece]
Ding-dong sounds of notifications rang in his ears.
A total of 5 items, but the surprise they gave Jack was no less than winning a huge lottery.
"dragon adventure, is it the modpack I'm familiar with?"
As an MC newbie player who had only been playing for 5 years, he had still played several popular large modpacks.
For example, Infinity, Fantasy Life, Godcraft, Journey to Nature, dragon adventure, etc. Each of these modpacks had its own characteristics; one could even say that each modpack was a new game, with surprises every time you started one.
"I just don't know which version it is. Each version adds different mods, and some versions even have bugs. Besides that, the seven curses ring within the mod is also a problem."
seven curses ring.
An unremovable accessory that players started with in a certain version of the dragon adventure mod integration pack.
While it brought powerful buffs to players, it also brought curses that were a source of early-game pain.
Neutral mobs becoming hostile, armor reduction, and double damage taken were truly discouraging for new players.
If one wasn't familiar with it, being repeatedly killed by a group of skeletons in the early game was very normal.
"I should develop for a while and get stable first. I don't know if there's a resurrection setting, but I can't easily try it. I'll take it one step at a time."
Jack placed the two potions in his quick bar for later use and continued walking to find a foothold.
Unlike before.
He had originally thought he would have to live as a caveman in the early game, with poor living conditions, and thus didn't have many requirements for the spawn point.
Now that he had building blueprints, he naturally had to choose a geomantically auspicious treasure spot.
1 hour later.
The sun was directly overhead, and Jack finally found his ideal base location.
This was a riverine alluvial plain.
A giant waterfall cascaded from the mountaintop, creating a fan-shaped large lake, and the lake's outlet flowed into the distance, reaching the ocean.
Less than 1 kilometer to the east was a birch forest, and to the west was a flat, open green area.
The good environment also nurtured many animal biomes.
Cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens were all visible everywhere.
"With such a large plain, farming should be enough. In the later stages, if I get a colony mod, I can use this as a center to expand outwards."
Thinking this, Jack took out the Linjian Cabin building blueprint.
Immediately, a massive holographic building blueprint appeared in his hand.
"??"
This giant manor, over 100 meters in length and width, you call it a Linjian Cabin?
Jack fell into contemplation.
