The guild members gathered around the girl, encircleing her as they made their way to Xu Yuan's door, reluctant to leave her side. Seeing this, Ken waved at the players.
**"Why are you still here? Haven't you started training yet?"**
The guild players saw Ken dismiss them and gradually dispersed, murmuring among themselves.
**"What do you think that girl is about?"**
**"I don't know, but I really want to hear her speak Japanese…"**
**"Neon girl, no wonder she's dressed like that… Hahaha."**
**"..."**
Ken led the girl into Xu Yuan's room.
**"Boss, people are coming,"** Ken reported.
Xu Yuan looked at the girl, whose presence he didn't recognize, and felt a bit puzzled. From Ken's tone, it seemed she was an important person.
He turned to Xiang Zidao and asked,
**"Is she here for something?"**
As soon as the girl saw Xu Yuan, her excitement was palpable. She hurriedly rushed forward, grabbing Xu Yuan's hand and speaking rapidly in a language he didn't understand.
Xu Yuan was caught off guard.
**"What's going on? What is she saying?"**
Seeing his confusion, Ken quickly explained,
**"Boss, she's from Neon and speaks Japanese. She just watched your operation through the live broadcast of the system, and she thinks you're incredibly smart and powerful."**
Xu Yuan was stunned by this revelation. He smiled at the girl and then looked at Ken.
**"Is she the one I'm supposed to meet?"**
He still didn't understand why Ken brought her here, considering this was a global game, and having foreigners was normal. Xu Yuan didn't think this girl was particularly special—just another player from overseas.
Ken signaled Xu Yuan to be patient and explained that he had spoken with her sister, translating their conversation in real-time.
Xu Yuan nodded and found a comfortable seat, gesturing for the girl to speak. She nodded back and began chatting animatedly.
Soon, an hour passed, and even Ken grew impatient with the translation effort. When she finally finished, Xu Yuan learned her name was Junko, a native of Neon Country.
Junko explained that she had initially logged into the game via VPN, browsing Chinese websites, and forgot to disable it. When she entered the game, she found that no one understood her language. Surprised, she asked her friends, who told her that her coordinates were far from theirs. She continued walking toward that point and was lucky not to die along the way.
Today, she had wandered near Xu Yuan's house, attracted by its impressive structure. As she observed it, the system's live broadcast prompt appeared again, allowing her to witness Xu Yuan's incredible operations firsthand. She was left speechless—she hadn't imagined such gameplay existed.
She wanted to share her experience with friends, but the game's content could only be shared within their region. Since they were in different regions, sharing was impossible.
Xu Yuan listened with interest, feeling a mix of curiosity and curiosity about the broader world. He asked her,
**"Can you ask your friend if the terrain over there is mostly oceanic?"**
Junko immediately asked her friend, eyes wide.
**"How do you know?!"**
Xu Yuan's conjecture was confirmed: the game "Minecraft" likely imitated Earth's scale, with regions corresponding to real-world continents. Players in each region spawn in their respective areas, just like Xu Yuan in Huaxia.
This meant the entire map was enormous—probably spanning the whole planet. Other regions in the game were developing at different speeds, and the regional announcements were probably limited. Some regions might be locked, others partially open, or players might cross boundaries at certain points.
Understanding this, Xu Yuan felt a new pressure. His initial goal was to establish a main city, but now he realized the scope was much larger—possibly a world-spanning empire. The early discovery of this map gave him an advantage—he could strategize resource development and expansion, especially by exploring other regions.
He thought about sending people to Neon Country, to help develop there, especially since they were still in the exploration phase and hadn't yet triggered guild battles. This could be a rare opportunity to gather resources, establish colonies, and expand influence.
If players worldwide used Xu Yuan's base as their main city, the scale and spectacle would be unimaginable.
He made a decision:
**"Let her rest first, arrange a room for her, and then come see me."**
Ken nodded, understood Xu Yuan's intent, and took the girl downstairs. After a while, Ken returned and asked,
**"What are your thoughts?"**
Xu Yuan smiled and replied,
**"It's just a guess for now—it needs testing."**
Ken grinned,
**"Let's talk more about it."**
Xu Yuan then considered,
**"I want to send her back to Neon."**
Ken looked surprised.
**"Send her back? To Neon?"**
Xu Yuan nodded.
**"You guessed right—the entire game map might be a scaled-down version of the real world. Regions are based on actual continents. If that's the case, then she should be in her home region."**
Ken nodded approvingly.
**"That makes sense."**
Xu Yuan continued,
**"This way, we can explore other countries and gather resources. The girls said their country is still initial stage, still figuring out the game. We could send some people over, help develop, and accumulate resources. The faster we expand, the better."**
He paused, contemplating the broader implications.
If the entire world map is similar to Earth, then the potential for development is enormous. The rapid growth in Huaxia was due to early kills, shared strategies, and Xu Yuan's leadership. Other countries might be far behind—so there's a huge opportunity.
He thought about the possibility of establishing global influence, building a network of bases, and expanding his power.
Ken listened, surprised at Xu Yuan's bold ambitions.
**"That's quite a plan,"** he said.
**"But isn't it too far off? By the time we get there, they might have already developed."**
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered with determination.
**"Even if it takes years, I'll find a way to speed things up. Maybe I can improve our movement speed—if only I had a speed potion…"**
Suddenly inspired, Xu Yuan's mind raced.
**"Speed potion… yes!"**
Ken looked curious.
**"What's your plan?"**
Xu Yuan's face lit up with a grin.
**"Go get me two pigs. Quick!"**
