Chapter 7: Chapter 7: The World’s Only Omnipotent Maid
Lin Fan was so thrilled that he could barely contain himself, already imagining how he would play around with all those mods.
Standing nearby and busy farming mobs, Lilian tilted her head curiously at Lin Fan's unusual behavior.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Lin Fan turned around, grinning like a child, and began showing off the Lucky Block in his hand to Lilian.
"Guess what I've got in my hand?"
"A Lucky Block," she replied casually.
"You recognize it?" Lin Fan was surprised by Lilian's straightforward answer.
Lilian, unfazed, flipped her golden pigtails confidently and put her hands on her hips.
"Didn't I tell you? I can not only do anything but also know everything about this world." She gave a proud shake of her little braids.
Lin Fan was genuinely surprised.
"So, by that logic, you're omnipotent?"
"Of course," Lilian declared, tilting her head high with pride written all over her face.
However, this made Lin Fan think of something else.
"Doesn't that mean if someone else gets a maid egg from the world rewards, they'd also be invincible?" He frowned, a bit concerned.
Seeing his expression, Lilian chuckled mischievously, covering her mouth.
"That won't happen. I'm the only maid in the entire world," she explained. "Only the first world reward gives an omnipotent maid egg. After that, all subsequent world rewards will just be Lucky Blocks."
"Oh, I see!"
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Lilian was far too useful. If others could also obtain a maid as capable as her, his unique "cheat code" would be meaningless!
Lin Fan wasn't someone with noble aspirations to save humanity. His only goal was to rise above everyone else in this world!
Putting the Lucky Block back into his inventory, Lin Fan noticed that dawn was about to break. Meanwhile, the world chat was still buzzing with discussions about him.
"The forum seems to be up. I just received a long article from the research division."
"Wow, this world really is like a game. There's even a forum."
"This is definitely just a game, right?"
"I took a look. It's a recruitment notice for researchers."
"Lol, recruitment notice? That's just a fancy way of saying they can't figure out how to deal with the monsters or solve survival problems, so they're desperate."
"Exactly. They're so full of themselves, always claiming to be geniuses. Yet now they're forced to mingle with us."
"I heard from a friend that they want to recruit Lin Fan, but he didn't accept their friend request. That's why they're doing this."
"Trying to recruit someone but still acting all high and mighty? I bet half the people tagging Lin Fan in the chat are just shills."
"What else can they do? They're from the research division. They need to save face."
"Do you think Lin Fan will agree to join the research team?"
"I think he will. After all, it's a state-owned enterprise, and most people value that."
"True. Even if all these people trash-talking would love to join themselves, the moment they get the chance, they'd be the first to jump on it."
"I also think Lin Fan will join."
"I don't think so. Someone who talks about survival of the fittest and natural selection might not even respect the research division."
"Tch, what kind of person is he anyway? Just a regular guy who killed two monsters, and you all treat him like a god."
The debate over Lin Fan sparked different opinions, leading to heated arguments.
Of course, Lin Fan himself noticed it too. With so many tags filling the screen, it was impossible to ignore.
Curious, he clicked into the forum and browsed the recruitment notice. After reading it, he immediately lost interest.
Becoming someone's lackey? Not a chance.
Even if the research division were more than an empty shell—brimming with power, resources, and wealth—Lin Fan had no intention of being anyone's subordinate.
Joining the research division? Completely out of the question.
Though, if the one who leads the organization is someone like Technoblade, he would join without any hesitation.
But since this is a different world, he might not even exist.

Regarding the debates raging in the world chat, Lin Fan simply pretended not to see them.
He opened his friend request list and scrolled through it. To his astonishment, over ten thousand people had sent him friend requests.
With a single tap, Lin Fan selected "Ignore All" without hesitation. It didn't weigh on his mind in the slightest.
In his previous life as a small-time streamer, he had put in tremendous effort but remained utterly unnoticed. Yet now, in this world, his popularity had skyrocketed to unimaginable heights...
How ironic.
If he'd had even half of this popularity in his previous life, things wouldn't have been so miserable.
Closing all the interface windows, Lin Fan noticed the sun gradually rising.
As the sun climbed from the eastern horizon, the zombies surrounding his little wooden house began to catch fire, wailing in agony.
They struggled briefly under the sunlight before turning into rotted flesh and vanishing into the grass.
Lin Fan opened the door to find the sun now fully above the ocean's surface.
The wind was stronger today than yesterday, rustling the oak leaves noisily. The sea shimmered with silver waves, and the little red flowers nearby were blooming beautifully, exuding a fresh floral fragrance.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Fan savored the moment. This was a sight he could hardly witness in his previous life.
Blue skies, white clouds, forests, and rivers—it all felt like a vivid painting come to life.
This world wasn't the pixelated art style of Minecraft but seemed to have been enhanced with ultra-realistic texture packs and lighting mods. Everywhere Lin Fan looked was a feast for the eyes.
Even better, this texture pack and lighting mod didn't tax his graphics card; everything ran seamlessly!
Lilian followed behind Lin Fan and tilted her head in confusion as she watched her master enjoying himself.
"Master always gets happy over such strange things."
Lin Fan glanced at her and chuckled.
"You don't get it. This is called enjoying life."
Minecraft's charm lies in each individual's interpretation of it.
Some love building complex redstone machinery and megastructures, others collecting resources. Some revel in survival challenges, others in exploration. And then, there are those who simply enjoy the scenery.
Different people, different perspectives.
That's what makes this game so enjoyable.
After soaking in the morning sunshine for a while, Lin Fan realized it was time to get to work.
Even in this short moment, his thirst meter had dropped to two bars. Any further neglect, and he might not last much longer.
Picking up the rotten flesh near his house, Lin Fan grabbed his stone shovel and headed for the river, with Lilian obediently following behind him.
Sand typically spawns near water, so finding sand by the river was an easy task.
Spotting a sandy area, Lin Fan walked over and used his stone shovel to collect half a stack of sand before dragging his heavy footsteps back to his small wooden house.
With his thirst meter down to one and a half bars, he couldn't run anymore and was forced to walk slowly.
It seemed that eating rotten flesh indeed accelerated the rate at which his thirst dropped.
There was no time to overthink. Lin Fan added charcoal to the furnace, placed the sand inside, and started smelting it.
