"Name!"
"Aellita Evihisita."
"Race!"
"Elf Race!"
"Age."
"18!"
Su Lin looked up, suspiciously appraising the blonde, twin-tailed girl in front of him.
Under the red glow of the magma in the mine, Aelita's face was filled with determination.
"A Level 59 Elf Race Elemental Mage… eighteen?"
"What's wrong with eighteen!"
Aelita, dusty but still beautiful, bared her fangs in annoyance.
"This Queen is the most outstanding Royal Candidate of the Elf Race! A true genius! Is there a problem with me getting stronger quickly?"
Su Lin chuckled, a deep, hoarse Zombie roar frequently echoing from the dark mine in the distance.
"Miss Aelita, if you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee I won't throw you in there."
"…"
Aelita snorted and turned her head away.
"183 years old."
Seeing Su Lin's knowing expression, Aelita became anxious.
"In our Elf Race, 183 years old is equivalent to just coming of age. From your human perspective, that's 18!"
"Understood."
Su Lin nodded.
"Why did you launch such a shameless terrorist attack on me? Is your Elf Race full of rude people like you?"
"Nonsense!"
Aelita retorted, her face flushed red:
"My personal actions should not be attributed to my race!"
"Besides, the Aetheram Continent has never seen such a bizarre Dungeon. With unknown intelligence, a tiny mistake is reasonable, isn't it?"
Watching Aelita stubbornly argue, Su Lin snorted.
"Didn't your Elf Race teach you to be vigilant when exploring an unknown Dungeon? And…"
He pointed to the huge pit not far away, where water mixed with magma had solidified into large obsidian blocks.
"You call this a tiny mistake? This was a shameless human bomb! It was a terrorist attack!"
"It was just a small mistake!"
Aelita waved her hand, a little guiltily.
"Honestly, This Queen traveled thousands of miles to save you! Don't be so petty, aren't you fine?"
Ha… heaven knows.
Full of beautiful aspirations for the future of building the Minecraft World into the Aetheram Continent's number one Dungeon.
Su Lin had been digging in the mine for three days, finally discovering a few diamond ores.
He was swinging his pickaxe and singing… when suddenly!
This Elf girl came rushing over, leading a Creeper.
As she rushed, she kept shouting something like "For the glory of the Elf Race!"
Heaven knows how desperate Su Lin was when he looked up and made eye contact with a flickering Creeper less than thirty centimeters away.
If he hadn't been holding his shield at all times, he would have started dropping gold coins on the spot without even being blown into the magma pool.
He scrutinized Aelita.
Although she was also covered in dust from the explosion, she was still clearly a beautiful, radiant Elf girl, just a bit… no! Not just a bit!
She was a shameful terrorist!
"How long have you been in this MC Dungeon?"
"Is this place called MC Dungeon? What a strange name…"
Without answering Su Lin's question, Aelita, as if she had a big heart, looked around by herself.
Her golden pupils were full of wonder.
"As strange as this Dungeon…"
Saying that, Aelita turned her gaze back to Su Lin's armor and longsword, which shimmered with purple light, and she became quite interested.
"This MC Dungeon actually has magic equipment? Could it be a high-level Dungeon? Native, what's your name?"
"You're the native!"
Su Lin rolled his eyes.
"Get it straight, you shameful terrorist are now my prisoner, and you have no right to ask me questions!"
"I said it was a small mistake! Don't be so petty! Human, were you summoned here along with this Dungeon?"
Aelita seemed very interested in Su Lin's enchanted equipment, her eyes sparkling.
"Su Lin, considered a native life form of the MC Dungeon."
The creator of the MC Dungeon… should also be considered a native life form, right?
He at least had Steve's physique, so no problem!
As for being summoned or not… neither from a moral nor a personal cultivation standpoint, he probably didn't meet the standards of a hero.
"Su Lin…"
Aelita thought for a moment, puffing out her meager chest.
"It sounds like a name from the Gustik Holy Empire. So, what was that creature just now? Why did it explode?"
Su Lin was a little puzzled.
"Don't you have such explosive monsters on your Aetheram Continent?"
"You mean those self-detonating snails, right? We have some, but not these strange creatures."
Aelita gestured.
"These blocky monsters, I've never seen them before, and they're cutely ugly…"
"This Queen walked all the way here just now, and that thing kept following me but didn't attack. This Queen thought it was a pet of this new Dungeon…"
"Who knew it would just self-detonate out of nowhere…"
The more she spoke, the less confident Aelita became, until finally, she was just muttering softly.
"Speaking of which, Su Lin, your Dungeon seems to be all blocky. Besides you, even the humans in that village outside are blocky."
"They seem to have no brains…"
Su Lin looked at Aelita with disdain.
"Someone like you, who comes to a strange Dungeon and dares to charge in with monsters without knowing anything, has no right to say others have no brains!"
"This Queen is…"
Aelita mumbled weakly.
"This Queen is just trying to restore the glory of the Elf Race…"
The current Elven Kingdom was not as glorious as it once was.
To the north, it bordered the Armed Empire Doragon, the most militarily powerful empire on the Aetheram Continent.
To the south, across the Beast Forest, was the Demon Lord Army's main base, which was currently ravaging the world.
On one side, it had to defend against the Demon Lord Army's invasion, and on the other, it was weary of the Armed Empire Doragon's aggression and slave-capturing teams.
The Orc Empire and the Demi-human Alliance in the west were constantly at war, fighting like dogs, and the flames of war occasionally burned the Verdan Eternal Forest where the Elven Kingdom was located.
The Elven Kingdom, struggling to survive, truly needed an opportunity for self-salvation.
At this time, this brand-new Dungeon that appeared near the capital of the Elven Kingdom naturally became the Elven Kingdom's last resort.
After all, the energy level reaction when this Dungeon appeared was at least comparable to the high-level Dungeon owned by the Magic Dynasty.
For the Elven Kingdom, and to share her sister's worries.
Aelita, feeling that she was the most outstanding Royal Candidate of the Elven Kingdom, had the responsibility and obligation to act as a pioneer to explore this brand-new Dungeon.
If this Dungeon could truly alleviate the pressure on the Elven Kingdom, she, as an exploration pioneer, would surely become a hero of the Elven Kingdom.
But as she thought about it, Aelita also felt a bit lost.
This MC Dungeon was indeed very mysterious; at least, its blocky nature was very strange, and it even seemed to produce magic equipment.
However, this alone was not enough to alleviate the current situation of the Elven Kingdom.
The monsters and Dungeon resources she had seen so far in this Dungeon seemed to have nothing that could be used for the development of the Elven Kingdom.
Watching Aelita go from being invigorated to looking like a deflated eggplant.
Su Lin sincerely stated… "I don't really understand the mental state of you terrorists."
However… if she wasn't mentally unstable, why would anyone want to be a terrorist?
Forget it.
Whether she was mentally ill or not didn't affect Su Lin's actions. Regardless, it was a good thing that someone came to explore the MC Dungeon as soon as it was established.
He should also arm himself before more people came to the MC Dungeon.
To be the guide of the MC Dungeon and exploit the adventurers of the Aetheram Continent, Steve's physique alone was not enough.
His physical defense and physical attack were maxed out, but his magic resistance and magic attack were severely lacking.
In this world where magic was rampant, not being a mage meant having no human rights.
Compared to those high-level Dungeons, which often had dozens or even hundreds of floors, the current MC Dungeon only had three floors: the Overworld, the Nether, and The End.
To continue evolving the MC Dungeon and make it the number one Dungeon on the Aetheram Continent, while he also became the strongest Steve in history.
He still had to exploit the labor of adventurers to help him accumulate development points and unlock new modules. This way, while he became invincible, he could also open up subsequent MC Dungeon floors.
As long as they got through this difficult period, everyone could have a beautiful future!
"Gurgle…"
A strange sound interrupted Su Lin's thoughts. He looked up.
"Strange… I'm all the way down in the magma layer, and I can still hear thunder?"
"It… it's me…"
Aelita muttered, blushing.
Su Lin was a little puzzled.
"Aren't you a Natural Elemental Mage? Can you cast lightning magic too?"
"…It's my stomach! I'm hungry!"
Aelita's shyness vanished, and she glared at Su Lin, pouting.
This Dungeon native was so rude, completely disregarding a young girl's dignity.
"Didn't you pass by a village when you came to the mine?"
"You mean the place where those block-headed block people live?"
"You're not much smarter."
"Damn it!"
Aelita gnashed her teeth and raised her staff, gesturing at Su Lin's head, but then she remembered the strength with which Su Lin had single-handedly subdued her.
Aelita deflated again.
"What good would passing by do? Those block people couldn't understand This Queen's words. I wanted to trade some food with them, but those guys didn't even want gold coins."
"This Queen came in a hurry and didn't bring anything…"
Hearing this, Su Lin was greatly surprised.
This reckless Elf girl, who could have launched a self-detonating truck attack on him with a Creeper.
Yet, she was so polite to those biological batteries?
"Su Lin…"
Seeing Su Lin silent, Aelita called out pitifully.
Su Lin sighed, opened his backpack, and took a look.
He had run out of meat. He had originally planned to return to the village after finding those diamond ores and making a diamond pickaxe.
All his efforts were in vain.
Fortunately, he had gathered quite a few wheat seeds from the bushes before going down the mine, which was barely enough to make some bread.
"Su Lin… This Queen has gold coins!"
Seeing Su Lin unresponsive, Aelita pitifully pulled out two gold coins.
However, after the Creeper explosion just now, these two gold coins… couldn't even make up one whole coin when put together.
Su Lin didn't refuse either; he was still very interested in the gold coins of the Aetheram Continent.
The gold ore he had dug on this mining trip, when synthesized, would be enough for one gold block, which would be nearly twenty tons on the Aetheram Continent.
If he moved the gold blocks out, without the influence of the MC Dungeon's laws, how many gold coins could be made after smelting?
Su Lin felt that he could at least achieve financial freedom on the Aetheram Continent for a period of time.
"Wait a moment."
Su Lin got up, found an empty spot, and started working.
Aelita watched obediently. Su Lin's building method, like stacking blocks, always seemed magical no matter how many times she saw it.
Speaking of which… if this was a feature of this MC Dungeon, she should be able to learn it too, right?
In her opinion, this method was no worse than those top-tier creation spells.
Perhaps this was the true value of this bizarre blocky Dungeon?
However, as she watched, Aelita finally realized something was wrong.
There was dirt, there was water, and Su Lin was even plowing the land with a hoe and planting seeds… "You're not trying to farm here, are you?"
Aelita stared at Su Lin, somewhat frantic.
"Please, not only is there no sunlight here, but this dirt you just put down is also strange."
"Even if This Queen uses nature magic to accelerate its growth, it would still take several days!"
"By then, we'll all starve to death!"
Su Lin turned to look at Aelita, smiling proudly.
"Don't you understand the value of MC?!"
"I only know that the food content in my stomach is zero right now!"
Su Lin rolled his eyes and took out a pile of bone meal.
He had collected too much of this stuff while mining.
"Just watch quietly. I'll show you what real nature magic is."
"What big talk, you fellow!"
Aelita snorted.
"This Queen is a Level 59 Natural Mage! No one understands nature magic better than I do!"
As her words fell, Su Lin evenly sprinkled the bone meal on the soil.
Accompanied by specks of green light flickering on the soil, a green wheat sprout broke through the ground at lightning speed.
Aelita suddenly looked like a goose whose neck had been squeezed, her face turning crimson.
She stared intently at the tiny new sprout in the soil.
And as Su Lin sprinkled more bone meal.
Aelita, the dignified Level 59 Natural Mage, suddenly felt like a fresh recruit.
From planting the seeds to harvesting the wheat.
It only took a few waves of Su Lin's hand, scattering specks of light.
Perhaps it took less than two seconds… these two seconds, however, completely shattered Aelita's worldview.
Even when Su Lin had already left to synthesize bread nearby, Aelita still stared intently at the soil where the wheat had been.
An underground mine, no sun, artificially placed one-meter-square dirt, freshly planted seeds… what did all this add up to?
"Here, bread. Conditions are limited, so just make do."
A plain, long piece of bread in hand, Aelita turned to look at Su Lin in a daze.
Her staff, which was never out of her hand, had fallen to the ground, and she didn't even notice.
A piece of bread… the fantastical conditions mentioned above, combined, resulted in a freshly baked bread, exuding the aroma of wheat.
Taking a small bite, she felt her satiety noticeably increase.
Aelita, under Su Lin's watchful eye, raised her hand and pinched herself.
"Hiss!"
The sharp pain told Aelita that she wasn't dreaming.
In other words… "You… you just…"
Aelita's voice trembled slightly.
"You just instantly ripened the freshly planted seeds and even made them into edible bread?"
Su Lin folded his arms and looked at the blonde, twin-tailed Elf before him with a disdainful expression.
"Don't you understand what real nature magic is?!"
A heavy gasp sounded. Su Lin watched as an astonishing light gradually erupted in Aelita's eyes.
"I know!"
Aelita excitedly grabbed Su Lin's arm.
"You must be the legendary Goddess of Nature!"
"?"
"Goddess! I want to learn nature magic!"
"Get lost!!!"
