Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 168 Crystal Man

At first glance, this city actually looks very similar to the city of the "King" in the Frozen Dimension.

But its scale is incomparable to that of the city.

The city before us is a bit too big.

If it weren't for the lack of block vision restrictions after entering Minecraft, Shi Qian felt he might not even be able to see where the center of the city was.

At most, you can only see the outer wall...

No, you might not even see the walls if you're at the portal entrance.

Although the empire is underground, it doesn't feel cramped at all.

Shi Qian felt that the ceiling height of the entire underground space was around one hundred squares...

The underground city's light source seems to come entirely from the central tower of the empire.

The top of the tower radiates a dazzling, enduring light, and the entire underground area is filled with those light-reflecting blocks.

Arranged precisely in various underground locations, they reflect the light from the tower, illuminating the entire underground city.

"Most life forms in our dimension are crystal beings, just like me."

"It's just that the crystals from which they are formed are different. For example, mine comes from rose quartz, while others may come from smoky quartz, rutilated quartz, etc."

Furong continued her introduction, and then led Shi Qian into the city.

"Our monarch has led us for a very long time."

"If we follow your logic... we are the only dimension without historical coverage, yet we have continued to this day."

At this point, Furong smiled and nodded at Shi Qian, showing extreme certainty about what she was saying.

But Shi Qian's heart was in turmoil.

What the hell?

The only dimension that was not covered...

Holy crap...

Is this something a human can do?

Furong was already used to seeing Shi Qian stop in his tracks due to shock.

She has seen this expression on the faces of many people in the past, and she is proud of it.

They were all shocked by the monarch and awestruck by our history, which is absolutely something to be proud of.

"What kind of person is your monarch?"

"A monarch who commands respect throughout the land, possesses great talent and ambition, and is diligent in governing for the people, is, in this dimension, the center of the world."

Furong's pride was palpable, leaving Shi Qian completely stunned.

Is that really how much you praise someone?

However, judging from the size of this empire, it certainly matches such praise.

The center of the world...that tower?

Could it be that the energy core of this dimension is in his hands?

Currently, everything seems fine in this dimension.

It would be even better if we could get the next dimension coordinates sooner.

Given their current state of development, it seems they won't need to stay here for very long.

As Furong introduced the city, she led Shi Qian into the city.

All the creatures around were crystal beings of various colors.

Moreover, it seemed that only the crystal people around the city wall were wearing armor, and there were no guards even at the city gates.

Is it only necessary to defend against external enemies?

It looks like a lot of strange things have come through the portal before...

Is it normal for Furong to be so enthusiastic towards me?

However, if we consider her statement that she "looks up to us, the sovereigns," then it would indeed be more reasonable.

Shi Qian learned about their social structure from Fu Rong.

It seems to be the kind of despotism of ancient times.

Their monarch holds all power, but judging from the description, their monarch seems to be quite good to them.

Moreover, it seems that crystal people have no time limit in their lives.

Their monarch has been the same person since the beginning of this dimension, and judging from the appearance of the inhabitants of this dimension, he is definitely not a tyrant in the traditional sense.

But whether he is a good monarch... Shi Qian felt he had to meet him first to see, and as an outsider, it seemed inconvenient for him to judge someone with a normal life order.

He had just asked Furong if she knew the coordinates of the other portals.

Hibiscus said she didn't know, but their monarch must know the answer to the question.

They still needed to see their monarch, so they were now walking up the tower of the palace.

Just outside the city, we could only see the tower, but after entering the city, we discovered that there was a palace beneath the tower.

However, it is actually a semi-open-air palace.

He does resemble that "king" from the Frozen Dimension...

However, based on current observations, these two are definitely not the same person.

That little space... ah...

You can tell just by looking at the residents.

Almost everyone in the Crystal Empire had a smile on their face.

Shi Qian could tell that they were all genuinely in a good mood.

Unlike professional receptionists like Furong, whose smiles are practiced.

But Furong's emotions are all expressed very genuinely.

This proves that, in the eyes of the native beings of these dimensions, their monarch was indeed a very good person.

However, due to differences in dimension and structure, it seems that the food of these crystal people is minerals of the same type?

Fu Rong said that after Shi Qian paid homage to their monarch, he should bring him some local specialties.

Shi Qian is not currently worried about any issues with dimensions.

Because the main part of this dimension is underground, these crystal people, whether it's their houses or the ground, are all made of deep slate and various stones.

His attachment ability is a natural enemy to these blocks.

Running away is absolutely easy; there's no need to worry about unfamiliar blocks, as those would prevent you from even burrowing underground.

However, there are often reflective crystals on the houses and roadsides, and the entire dimension is illuminated by the light source on the tower.

However, we don't yet know what kind of person that monarch is...

Moreover, the energy core is most likely in his possession.

The energy core is capable of probing all events in dimensions.

Shi Qian was a little worried. It wouldn't be good if this monarch detained him or monitored his actions because he came from the outside world and because of past events in the dimension.

Thinking of this, Shi Qian No. 1 specifically called out to Xiao Sha.

"Little Killer, am I a physical entity?"

[Yes, host. Since the clone is created through the conversion of energy data, it is indeed a physical entity in this world.]

"So, I could be detected by personal abilities or dimensional energy cores? In situations where it's not something that can be observed visually or aurally."

The host's physical body cannot be detected by this type of ability because the host's physical body is not a data-driven entity; to this world, it is nothingness.

However, the host's clones can be detected by data-viewing abilities due to their data-driven nature. But ordinary personal abilities, such as the Guardian's ability to search for creatures within a 16-tile radius sphere, cannot directly detect the host's main body and clones.

Shi Qian nodded and turned off Xiao Sha.

But from Xiao Sha's words...

He obtained a very important piece of information, information other than what he had asked...
