Minecraft: I Am The Demon King

Right now, placed in front of him were two choices.

Either rely on the player camp, or rely on the monster camp. Although placed in front of Mustard were two choices, in Mustard's view, these two choices were both about the same.

As a member of the villagers, Mustard naturally held hatred toward the players.

Even though he was well-protected since birth and didn't witness his family members being slaughtered by players with his own eyes, he had stayed beside the Villager King and was influenced through constant exposure.

The Villager King's hatred toward players also subtly influenced Mustard.

The reason the Villager Kingdom ended up in this situation, the players cannot escape responsibility. They were the ones who started it all.

Looking at it this way, it was impossible for Mustard to choose to side with the player camp.

What remained was only the monster camp. But to Mustard, the monster camp was not much better than the player camp.

In the monster camp were the Illagers, Zombies, and Void-possessed Iron Golems.

These three forces were not much better than the players.

One side plundered and slaughtered villages, one side infected villagers, and one side took control of the entire Villager Kingdom.

Their behavior wasn't much better than how the players treated villagers. Looking at it like this, it seemed the whole world was against the villagers.

Mustard truly couldn't make a choice.

So he simply took a step back and settled for the next best thing. He planned to seek out those awakened animals to accompany him.

Mustard also knew clearly that he needed to form a group and warm each other as soon as possible. Born in a woodland biome, he also rushed all the way toward the nearby plains biome.

He planned to go over there and try his luck.

———

At this moment, the Trial Land had only been open for just over half an hour.

A miniature version of the camps of the main world's factions had already taken shape and been displayed in front of them.

Each faction was also pushing forward the progression according to a plan.

After exploring in the mining area for over half an hour, Xu Yuan slowly discovered the differences between the Trial Land and the main world.

Originally, Xu Yuan thought this Trial Land was the same as the main world. But now it seemed that the real HIM didn't just copy-paste the main world's settings, he had put a lot of effort into this trial.

For now, Xu Yuan had discovered two differences.

First was that the amount of minerals seemed to be far less than in the main world.

Although Xu Yuan hadn't gone mining for a long time, mining was how Xu Yuan had started originally.

Back then, the main world's mineral resources were still very rich. But in the Trial Land, minerals seemed to be a scarce resource.

Xu Yuan had played this game for eight years and could be considered an experienced miner.

But in this half hour, not to mention diamonds, even iron ore, he only dug up three pieces.

According to Xu Yuan's skill, it could be ruled out that the problem was his mining technique. Then there was only one possibility, the Trial Land had very little ore.

That is to say, a full diamond set in this world could be considered a top-level rare resource.

Next, Xu Yuan also noticed another thing. To go mining, Xu Yuan had killed three chickens.

He roasted two pieces of chicken meat, and one raw piece was still left in the furnace, not yet taken out.

When Xu Yuan came back to clean up, ready to roast that raw chicken meat again, he discovered that the raw chicken meat had actually rotted.

Seeing the chicken meat in the furnace had already rotted and gone bad, Xu Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Meat can actually rot?" Seeing this, Xu Yuan took the rotten chicken meat out.

As soon as he took it out of the furnace, Xu Yuan smelled a nauseating stench of rot. The entire piece of chicken meat had turned into a horrible green color, covered in mold.

It looked like an entire periodic table had formed on it.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan endured the disgust and glanced at the item description of the rotten chicken meat.

[Rotten Chicken Meat]

[80% chance of food poisoning when eaten]

[Food poisoning will give a 30-second hunger effect]

[02:58]

"Same effect as rotten flesh… But with looks like this… probably no one would risk eating it…" Xu Yuan couldn't help but complain.

Back when playing Minecraft, eating rotten flesh was a very normal thing. And rotten flesh looked kind of like spicy strips, so players weren't that resistant.

'Gotta say, this rotten chicken meat looked way worse than rotten flesh…'

This rotten chicken meat basically had the same effect as rotten flesh. Both had an 80% chance of causing food poisoning, and would give a hunger debuff.

But Xu Yuan noticed that under the item description, there was a countdown timer. The time was gradually decreasing.

To figure out what this timer was for, Xu Yuan patiently waited for over two minutes.

During the wait, Xu Yuan wasn't idle. He opened his backpack, took out the cooked chicken meat, and also looked at the item description of the cooked chicken meat.

[Cooked Chicken Meat]

[Restores 6 hunger points] (PS: 6 points = three drumsticks)

[02:23:14]

Under the cooked chicken meat's description, there was also a countdown.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan finally understood. "This is a spoilage countdown!"

Just as he was thinking that, the already rotten chicken meat confirmed his guess.

The timer on the rotten chicken meat had ended, and now it had become decayed chicken meat.

Its appearance also changed accordingly.

Xu Yuan took out the decayed chicken meat, the moment he held it in his hand, the lump of chicken meat directly turned into a puddle of rotten water.

Only a small amount of not-yet-fully-decayed meat chunks remained in his hand.

[Decayed Chicken Meat]

[99% chance of poisoning when eaten]

[Food poisoning will give a 30-second hunger effect]

[Can be used to catalyze plants]

Seeing the item description, Xu Yuan couldn't help but bitterly smile.

"He really thinks someone would eat this thing… even went out of his way to write an item description…"

With how it looked, no normal person would ever eat it.

As Xu Yuan was thinking, he noticed a new book had appeared in his inventory.
