Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Timid Vivian and Nandong nodded in agreement, but the others were unwilling to leave.

Xiaomei and Queenie didn’t want to leave Camille Victoria alone, so they both insisted on accompanying her.

As for Shuihua, her thoughts were much simpler: the dragon had been so arrogant, scaring her, and she wouldn’t be able to swallow her pride without fighting back!

So Nandong and Vivian left first, while Camille Victoria, Shuihua, Xiaomei, and Queenie activated flight mode and chased after the Ender Dragon in the sky.

Unlike many new players, who have no flying experience and may panic at their first time in the sky.

With the experience of the games “Traveler of the Wind” and “Light Encounter” under their belt, they had no need for adaptation time and flew effortlessly and gracefully from the beginning.

However, the battle to catch the Ender Dragon did not go well—it flew too fast!

Not only fast, but extremely agile!

Intercepting it in the air for close combat would be nearly impossible.

As for long-range attacks, not only was it difficult to hit, but even if it did, the damage was as if tickling it.

After finally dealing some damage, the dragon would quickly recover—destroying the End Crystals only stopped the crystals from healing the dragon, but it could still heal itself…

The damage the group had dealt was not even enough to outpace the dragon’s self-healing!

After struggling for a while, the group had no choice but to give up the chase and leave The End.

Camille Victoria felt a bit dejected but quickly cheered up: “Do you want to try the survival mode challenge together?”

Xiaomei and Queenie decided to go, but Nandong, who didn’t like combat, refused.

Vivian wanted to log off—she’s only in 3rd grade and shouldn’t play for too long.

As for Shuihua, unlike Camille Victoria, she was in good spirits.

Although they didn’t kill the dragon, she was lucky enough to land a hit on the dragon’s head, releasing her anger, so she didn’t want to continue fighting.

So she refused, saying, “I won’t fight anymore, I’m a bit tired after a day of classes. I’m planning to wander around in the ‘Hunter’ world and see if I can catch one or two Albino Animals.”

Hearing Shuihua talking about the rarely encountered Albino Animals so casually, Camille Victoria wanted to pinch her face and tell her not to be so arrogant.

But, considering Shuihua’s “Where the Magic Animals Are” achievement progress at [6/10], which was the highest Camille Victoria had ever seen.

What’s even more outrageous is that Shuihua had achieved this in such a short amount of online time.

Eventually Camille Victoria could only sigh, saying: “Alright, good luck, and hope you complete the achievement soon.”

“Yeah, I’ll do my best!” Shuihua energetically nodded and logged out of the game.

Camille Victoria was left standing in place with a deflated expression, looking at her own progress of [2/10] and lamenting, “Can I really achieve this just by trying harder?”

…

On the other side, before logging into the “Hunter” world, Shuihua privately messaged Lance: “Lance, Lance, I’m going to find Albino Animals, do you want to join me?”

“I can’t, I’m a bit busy.” Lance replied immediately.

“Busy? Aren’t you already eliminated? What are you busy with?” Shuihua was puzzled.

Lance had given up on Mahjong during the first stage [Sea Selection Battle] and barely advanced to the second stage of the [Card King]—the [Gold Rush Battle].

Today, he got up early and started matching with a don’t-care attitude, quickly losing and ending his journey in the [Card King].

On the way to school together, Lance couldn’t help seeking solace from Shuihua: “Is my card-playing skill really that bad? I remember we used to be evenly matched in the past.”

Shuihua gently consoled him, saying, “I was just letting you win, you really aren’t that good.”

Lance felt as if struck by lightning and deflated immediately.

“Hahaha,” Shuihua laughed heartily, holding her belly with joy.

After finishing laughing, she started comforting Lance again: “Don’t be sad, being good at playing cards isn’t that great of a thing. It’s a good thing you’re not good at it.”

“Even though your card skills are weak, you have a good character when playing cards!”

“And you’re really good at playing games! I admire you so much!”

“Your marksmanship is accurate, and you’re great at fighting too…”

Shuihua comforted him all the way, eventually improving Lance’s mood.

Although Lance was choked by Shuihua’s blunt words, he no longer cared about the topic and moved on to serious matters: “Our Club is aiming for the ‘My World’ Ender Dragon First Kill.”

“Previously, the players in our Club have been in a semi-vacation mode, and management didn’t pay much attention to ‘My World’ as a casual game. But now, with the ‘Ender Dragon First Kill’ attracting the attention of millions of players and even ordinary netizens, our Club can’t just ignore it.”

“The players have all been urgently summoned, but since they’ve played so little, they are currently preparing the items needed to activate the Teleportation Gate.”

“Do you need help? I just beat the Ender Dragon.”

“???” Lance immediately sent a bunch of question marks. It took a few seconds for the phrase “just beat the Ender Dragon” to sink in.

“You fought the dragon in creative mode, didn’t you? That’s not possible in that mode. Many people have already tried and failed. We’re going to challenge it in survival mode. Can you help with that?”

—— Here a brief explanation is needed concerning how players’ supplies are handled when crossing worlds.

There are three scenarios:
