Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 540
Chapter 540: Chapter 520: All This is for the Pleasure of the Players!
In the Nether, beds explode.
This pitfall, which could either be considered an Easter egg or a game feature, has trapped numerous unlucky pioneers of the Nether at the beginning.
Because of the concept that “bed = respawn point,” updating the respawn point in advance has become a habit when exploring new places.
In the Nether, not far from the Teleportation Gate, when players see the dangerous environment with rolling lava and monsters popping up from time to time, they instinctively start building houses, establishing bases, and creating a relatively safe respawn point for themselves.
As a result, without exception, these “pioneers” all get a face full of explosion from the bed.
After running back through the teleportation gate from their hometown on the surface, they find their bases have been blown to ruins.
So what do these people do then?
Post online and warn everyone to be careful and not to place beds in the Nether?
Of course not!
Over 90% of players choose to enjoy the show.
Some even open live streaming platforms right away, urging the anchors they often watch to explore the Nether, guiding them step by step in building the teleportation gate. After the anchor arrives in the Nether, they timely remind them, “The Nether is so dangerous; build a base and put a bed so that you can respawn closer if you die.”
This seemingly reasonable suggestion directly leads to a large number of anchors being deceived and being blasted into the sky by their own beds.
On Sunday morning, such scenes are everywhere, providing audiences with plenty of laughter.
Many people even make highlight videos of the anchors being fooled, which also have quite impressive view counts.
By the evening, almost everyone knows about this incident.
As a well-known prankster anchor, Yi was naturally the first to suffer. So when he hears Yelang say he wants to go to the Nether and throw a bed, he almost bursts out laughing on the spot.
Fortunately, he’s a professional, and he manages to hold it in!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to witness such a fantastic scene!
Both live broadcast rooms are filled with laughter from the audiences — only a few people remind Yelang of this bed explosion trick, as they watch him being blown sky-high.
After being blown away, they still throw in the towel with their comments:
“We who don’t know how to show tenderness thought that self-sacrifice was just an ancient rumor… ”
“Last time, after the Village Uncle died, he respawned and slept with you; this time you died and respawned, don’t you want to sleep with him?”
“That’s what brotherly love is all about, friends!”
…
Those audiences who were reluctant to spend money on conspicuous messages to remind Yelang, are now willing to pay for mocking him.
With a dumbfounded look, Yelang respawns and takes a while to understand what has happened after reading the barrage of mocking comments in the live broadcast room.
“F*ck!” Yelang gets furious, pulls out an iron sword from the chest, and rushes to Yi’s position.
Without saying a word, he swings his sword as soon as he arrives!
Yi runs from side to side, dodging continuously, “Don’t be impulsive! Listen to my explanation!”
“What’s there to explain?! I’m already so miserable, and you still want to trick me? Isn’t that rubbing salt into my wound? What kind of brother are you?!” Yelang is furious.
“What are you talking about?! Good brothers share both blessings and hardships! Otherwise, we all would have been tricked, and you haven’t. Wouldn’t you feel left out?”
Yi shouts with a righteous face, “I’m doing this for your own good!”
“For your mom!” Yelang refuses to listen, continuing to chase and kill Yi.
“Let’s talk it out, don’t use dirty words! Aren’t you afraid of Cloud Dream’s Super Administrator warning you?”
“I’ll worry about their warning after I kill you first!”
…
The two chase each other around for quite a while, until Yelang manages to slash Yi’s forehead, avenging himself a little and soothing his anger. Only then do they stop and have a normal conversation.
“What are you planning to play today? I’ll join you.”
“Me? Explore the Nether. I suspect this game can actually be won, and the clues might be hidden in the Nether. But aren’t you a farming type? Your hard-built village, aren’t you going back?” Yi is a bit surprised.
Yelang has a face full of painful memories, “Let’s not speak of that heartbreaking place!”
“Alright then, let’s get you some decent gear, and we’ll go on a One-Day Tour of Hell together.”
Yi opens the chest, checks the remaining diamonds, and decides to make Yelang a diamond sword first.
As for the armor, he still uses iron — considering how dangerous the Nether is, and without a respawn point, they’d hardly have time to run back and pick up their equipment if they accidentally died.
So better to save some up.
After crafting the diamond sword, Yi throws it to Yelang.
Yelang takes the sword, unable to help but take a close look at this gorgeous weapon.
Thanks to Little Chun’s Team’s meticulous polishing, this diamond sword isn’t some crudely pixelated weapon but a truly top-level cut. Each edge reflects dazzling light, and when held up against the sunlight, there is even a faint rainbow-colored halo around the edges. It’s so gorgeous that it fully deserves the title “Top-level Weapon.”
Yelang can’t help but hold it in his hands, admiring it from different angles and liking it more and more.
Meanwhile, Yi has already crafted iron armor and a shield, even enchanting a few [Protection] on them, and throws them all to Yelang.
“Ready to go?”
“Let’s go!”

Although “My World” is an open-world game, there has always been no shortage of players who tirelessly seek clues and try to “clear” the game.
Yi didn’t have this idea before, focusing on mining, until he learned about the existence of the Nether, and was killed once by a bed explosion, which gave birth to this idea.
