Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

After unlocking[Creative Mode], it took less than half an hour for the crucial information that “Entering The End, defeating the Ender Dragon” could clear the game to spread throughout the player circle and become common knowledge.

Meanwhile, the news that the Ender Dragon couldn’t be defeated in Creative Mode was also spreading rapidly.

As a result, the number of players trying to challenge the Ender Dragon in survival mode, attempting to be the first to clear the game, began to grow exponentially!

Previously, only a few players pursued this achievement, as it was difficult and offered little return.

Now, due to the game’s unique mechanics, clearing the game not only comes with a first completion achievement trophy, but also the possibility of going viral overnight, which tempted many people!

The keyword[Challenge the Ender Dragon]began to take over the game zones on various live streaming platforms.

For the pioneering players who had been exploring before, this wasn’t a bad thing.

At the very least, the number of viewers in Warehouse Bird’s live broadcast room suddenly increased nearly tenfold!

Not only Warehouse Bird but also Xichuan who had once achieved the second-place finish in “Speed Chase,” saw a nearly tenfold surge in viewership.

Baekje, Southeast Asia, Australia, Russia, and even the newly emerged European streamers, several hardcore players who were always keen on challenges, all jumped to the top tier level in the gaming community!

Many streamers who were experiencing this for the first time felt so excited that they lost themselves, thinking their chance to soar had arrived!

Warehouse Bird, however, was different; compared to those who suddenly became popular, his mentality was incredibly stable.

He had already experienced similar situations several times and was familiar with the fleeting nature of the sudden influx of attention that faded quickly after the dust settled.

It was merely a tide of traffic.

With a calm mindset, Warehouse Bird set a new respawn point in survival mode, stored his equipment, donned the most basic iron armor, and picked up a bow and iron sword to enter the Teleportation Gate.

He planned to gather information first, understanding the BOSS’s behavior patterns and skill mechanics before launching an official attack, rather than blindly charging in.

After all, once in The End, death was the only way out; if he had brought his best equipment from the beginning, it would be like cutting off his retreat, and he would have to stubbornly fight on.

That wouldn’t be wise.

As for getting more help?

He didn’t have that idea yet.

If he could defeat it alone, then he would do so!

After all, doesn’t killing the BOSS alone sound much cooler than a group of people doing it, right?

Teaming up to kill the BOSS might at most grant him a few months of bragging rights, but clearing the game alone, helping tens of millions of players, that would be god-like! He could brag for a lifetime!

“Come on, Ender Dragon! Let’s see what you’re capable of!”

…

…

Half an hour later, the resurrected Warehouse Bird opened his friends list and began to call on his teammates from the “Assassins’ Alliance” offline matches.

Now the question was not about how long he could brag after winning but whether he could defeat the boss at all…

He couldn’t afford to practice repeatedly in this open competition; time was the most crucial factor now.

So, he could always challenge himself to a solo run after completing the first completion.

So—gather everyone!

When Shuihua logged in, she caught Camille Victoria’s attention and was invited to join the team.

Shuihua hadn’t figured out what was going on yet when she was pulled into Camille Victoria’s personal world in Creative mode.

Then she saw Camille Victoria opening her panel, taking out various items one by one and placing them on the ground.

Around Camille Victoria, Vivian, Xiaomei, Nishino Chizuru, and even Nandong, were all doing the same thing, taking items out of their panels.

Camille Victoria noticed Shuihua entering and immediately waved to her excitedly, “Shuihua, come on!”

“?” Shuihua was puzzled, “What’s going on?”

“We’re completing our pictorial books!” Camille Victoria explained matter-of-factly, “In Creative mode, you can only duplicate items you have obtained. So, we’re all taking out everything we have, checking for missing items and filling in the gaps to complete our pictorial books.”

“Great idea!” Shuihua immediately became enthusiastic and walked over, opening her panel to look for items.

Knowing that Shuihua had more academic pressure and had only played for a little longer than Vivian, Camille Victoria comforted her, “This is a good chance for you to complete your pictorial book.”

Her implication was clear; even if they already had everything in Shuihua’s pictorial book, she shouldn’t feel embarrassed, as they were all helping each other.

But Shuihua reached for an Ender Pearl and asked, “Do you all have this already?”

“?” Camille Victoria hesitated, “Ender Pearls? Don’t you need to defeat Endermen to get them?”

She had encountered an Enderman in the wild once and realized that they were like ghosts – one look, and they would charge at you the next moment, absolutely terrifying.

Camille Victoria couldn’t win at all, and she was killed by the Enderman. When she returned to the spot, both the Enderman and the items she had dropped had disappeared.

Was Shuihua really that powerful?

Shuihua shook her head, “No, I found it in the water.”

“??” Camille Victoria’s head was full of question marks, “You can find these too?”

Actually, it was possible; the drop rate was just too low. Endermen are afraid of water, so if there’s no place to take shelter from the rain within a certain range, they could die from being soaked.
