Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 544: Chapter 522: Judging the Belly of the Rich from the Heart of a Poor Ghost (Two-in-One)_2

“I don’t know, I picked it up while I was fishing in the water.” Shuihua said as she continued to take out more items.

“I also caught a lot of things: tropical fish, pufferfish, parrot shells, saddles, ink sacs, name tags, enchanted bows, enchanted fishing rods, and many enchantment books…”

“Wait, wait, wait…” Camille Victoria was a bit confused, “You caught all these while fishing?”

“Yes.” Shuihua nodded in confirmation.

“But, isn’t fishing supposed to yield items like bamboo, water bottles, rotten flesh, and bones, aside from cod and salmon?” Camille Victoria expressed her confusion.

Shuihua looked at Camille Victoria puzzled, as if Camille Victoria was the abnormal one here.

Camille Victoria waved her hand, not wanting to continue the conversation, and proceeded to exchange pictorial books with others present.

They exchanged books amongst themselves, and then sought help from the bosses in the live broadcast room, exchanging pictorial books, even adding ones they don’t have from The Nether.

And just like that, without even moving, Camille Victoria almost completed the whole pictorial book collection by just talking.

…

Afterwards, Camille Victoria, along with her sisters, threw Eyes of Ender, following the guidance, and quickly found the End Portal—a green, square teleportation gate, composed of 12 pedestals, with each of its sides formed by three pedestals.

At this time, two of the twelve pedestals already contained Eyes of Ender and were in an activated state.

“We’re lucky to have two random ones here.” Camille Victoria skillfully inserted the Eyes of Ender into the pedestals.

Shuihua, standing nearby, had a sudden idea, and took out a diamond pickaxe to strike the teleportation gate with a “clang.”

As a result, the pedestal actually shattered and turned into a small pick-up-able block—following Lincoln’s game-making concept, the game’s details are as intuitive as possible.

“?” Camille Victoria felt that the number of question marks she had produced in the past half an hour was more than in the entire week before.

Not knowing what to say, she saw Shuihua strike another activated End Portal pedestal with her pickaxe, making a “clang” sound.

Without any surprises, the activated pedestal was knocked off as well.

Unfortunately, the pedestal and the Eye of Ender dropped separately.

Shuihua then started skillfully replicating the portal pieces, not only fixing the two she had removed but also setting up a new teleportation gate on the side with a click.

Looking at the two identical portals in front of her, Camille Victoria felt she should rethink how to play Creative Mode…

However, that could wait. The priority now was to check out the inside of the portal!

Inserting the Eyes of Ender, activating the portal, and entering The End!

…

After passing through the pitch-black portal, they arrived at the final battlefield of the game, the Ender Dragon’s lair.

It was different from what Camille Victoria imagined. At first glance, it didn’t seem dangerous; all she felt was its vastness.

There was no vegetation or animals within sight, no trees, water, or architecture, not even any ups and downs, only the flat End Stone beneath their feet—perhaps it was an island.

They couldn’t see the edge of the land.

In the entire world, apart from the four torches thrust into the bedrock pillars and the End Crystals burning with flames on the Obsidian Pillars, there was no other light source.

The sky was an endless deep darkness as far as the eye could see.

This place didn’t resemble nighttime; rather, it felt like the bottom layer of the code world, or perhaps, as its name suggested, this was The End, the final destination of the world.

Everyone took out torches, sticking a few into the ground to illuminate a wider area.

“Where’s the dragon?” Camille Victoria and Shuihua looked up, puzzled.

Vivian, being shorter, didn’t look up at the sky but looked around somewhat scaredly. Suddenly, she saw a pair of crimson eyes in the distance, looking directly back at her.

“Ah!” Vivian was startled, taking a step back.

Fortunately, this was Creative Mode, and all the monsters were neutral, not attacking even if they made eye contact with an Enderman.

“It’s alright, I just got startled by the Enderman,” Vivian waved her hand, assuring her worried sisters that she was fine.

They looked at the wandering Enderman in the distance, shaking their heads and continuing to comfort Vivian.

Nandong, being quiet, didn’t join the conversation. Instead, she noticed that the flames on the torches suddenly started to lean in one direction.

Then she heard a sound, which felt like a distant wind but quickly came over their heads.

Nandong looked up and immediately saw a huge dragon, almost blending into the pitch-black sky because of its ink-like dark body, flying over their heads with flapping wings.

“Roar~~~~” A huge dragon roar echoed through the universe.

Instead of screaming like Vivian, Nandong was shocked, suddenly sitting down on the ground, trembling as she pointed in the direction the Ender Dragon flew away, unable to speak.

Everyone else also looked up frantically, staring at the departing colossal creature.

Camille Victoria patted her chest nervously, calming her mind, and then turned to comfort the others: “It’s okay, it’s a neutral monster, it won’t attack us.”

“Or you guys can go back to the surface first? I want to try and give it a beating.”
