Stories in the Mine
By: Jeason Lan
Chapter 5 The First Participant: Norch
Steve went everywhere to find a best person for his team. The only person will be trained and trained to accept their mine journey. Villagers reported about their first journey and payed a lot of people to attention. At first, there were a few people to apply for. Three days later, the message spread far and many people went to Steve’s to apply for. Herobrine was studying books at home at the moment and Alex came to help Steve. The recruitment office had been crowded all day. Steve found a place to test and train the people who came to apply for. Steve ate a few foods and was training them all day.
Herobrine was at home. It was raining dogs and cats outside. He was studying books for the map which they didn’t figure out, and that village’s library was almost empty – mainly all books had been moved to his house! Herobrine was studying all day, the village field fell into disuse. One day, Alex came back with a computer. 「Use this, Herobrine,」 Alex gave the computer to him, 「this will easily help you to find the answer.」 Alex then taught Herobrine how to use the computer and Herobrine scanned the map into the computer and start to search and study with data. 「Wow! This thing called computer is so great!」 Even Herobrine had seen a lot of various aspects of society, but he was still amazing.
Alex stayed for a few days and went to Steve’s. After several weeks, Steve had trained and chose 5 people. Steve asked Alex to choose. Alex said, 「We should choose the most hard-working and the strongest one.」 Then he looked at that 5 people.
「What’s your name?」 Alex began to ask a man.
「My name is Norch,」 that man said powerfully, 「I’m from the heaven.」
Then Alex said to Steve: 「Yes, I』ll choose this one.」
「Yeah,」 Steve answered and looked at a book, 「it says here, Norch is the creator of Minecraft. If he joins us, we will be unstoppable!」
The next day, Steve took Norch to his home.
「We are planning to find a mine,」 Steve opened the computer and said to Norch, 「but now, we had a problem. First, we couldn’t find a mine. Second, we didn’t know this map said. Third, we had been chased by a powerful man. We also found a book, it says if we find the explorers』 portal, we can transform us to a big mine. But, we didn’t know the map which in that book said.」 Norch took over the map to look and said, 「Do you guys know how to use the computer? The computers can do many things!」 He scanned the map into the computer, then downloaded a software, and searched as well.
「Is this the same?」 Steve said questioningly.
「No, it is a software,」 Norch said, 「it can search many other things you can’t see on the internet. Something had been blocked, because the country didn’t want to let other countries know its secret.」 And then, the software displayed a message: 「The document you searched has been blocked!」 Norch input a several number and the document was unlocked. Then he gave the computer to Steve.
Steve saw a few documents on the computer. He clicked a document random. 「Loading…」 and finally displayed!
It wrote clearly: 「[confidential] Find a map on Shang Xian Mountain, and study the map. Then, you can go to the mine on the map. It seems a little difficult to find, but, when you let everyone study together, you will find the answer which the old explorers』 portals did not provide. But if you find it, you see, there will be a lot of portals. Then you should study twice. You should let many people go with you, and then you can succeed.」
「Oh, don’t read these useless words!」 Alex turned the page to the end.
There was a sentence in which words』 font is very small at the end of the document. Norch took a magnifying glass to look more clearly, and it wrote: 「PS: The map wasn’t saying a mountain. It was a river!」
Steve took a tumble: 「Oh, so that’s a river! No wonder it’s wired!」 Then, he turned to Norch: 「Thanks to you, now the answer is clear! Let’s go, guys!」
