Hearing Rookie's summary, Greenie quickly nodded and said, "Right, that's exactly what I mean."
"And besides the rope, you also need your own mental strength to support it in order to successfully get here."
"Mustard and the others have very strong mental power, so they arrived here quickly."
"As for those other beings, although they already have sturdy enough ropes, their mental strength isn't as strong as Mustard's group, so they'll arrive a bit slower."
"Also, the number of beings involved in that standoff isn't actually that large. Many beings still don't even know what's going on, so naturally they won't appear here."
"But there's no need to rush. Just like Rookie said, all beings already have a rope in their hands. Coming here is only a matter of time."
After saying all this, Greenie let out a long breath, as if a weight had been lifted off his chest.
The information Greenie revealed meant that all beings could enter the inner world. Without a doubt, this was good news that delighted everyone present.
If the beings could come to the inner world, Xu Yuan would gain enough faith, and in turn obtain the power to control this world. Their safety would then be guaranteed.
They would be able to live peacefully in the inner world. No one could threaten their lives anymore. They would no longer have to live in fear. This was clearly the ending all beings wished for.
But after hearing this good news, among everyone present, only Rookie didn't show any joy on his face.
He glanced at Notch, who looked pleased, hesitated slightly, then lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
After weighing it over in his heart and hesitating again and again, he finally decided to speak out what he was thinking.
His gaze fell on Notch again, and he said in a somewhat tactful tone, "Players entering the inner world will probably also need to rely on a mental connection."
"There might be some difficulty and a certain threshold, but those players who truly love this game world will definitely be able to enter the inner world just like Steve and the others."
These words didn't seem to draw much attention from Notch. His excitement didn't fade in the slightest.
It was as if he hadn't noticed the hidden meaning in Rookie's words at all. Instead, he began listing things enthusiastically, like counting off treasures.
"That's great. The inner world won't have any restrictions. When the time comes, its development will definitely be amazing!"
"All kinds of mods can be rolled out all at once. No need to schedule releases at all!"
"And large-scale competitions like the Divine Domain Tournament and Trial Grounds can become permanent events."
"We can also open up creative mode in fixed areas for builders and redstone players."
"And for those who like single-player, we can set up a separate independent world just for them."
"As for those beings, they can finally enjoy life properly. Xu Yuan will definitely protect them. They'll be able to do whatever they want."
The more Notch spoke, the more excited he became. His eyes were filled with anticipation for the future of the inner world.
Seeing how fired up Notch was, Rookie couldn't help feeling a bit awkward. He muttered inwardly, 'Has this guy seriously forgotten who he is???'
At that thought, Rookie didn't bother beating around the bush anymore. He got straight to the point.
"Bald Boss, did you forget that besides being the Creator God, you're also the CEO of Zero Point Company?"
Hearing the nickname "Bald Boss," Notch froze for a moment. Before he could react, Rookie continued speaking, "You should be very clear about the most important reasons why 'Minecraft' is so popular, right?"
"First, the unremovable HIM."
"Xu Yuan added a layer of mystery to the game. He's already become an iconic figure. What do you think will happen if he disappears?"
"Second, the conscious beings."
"Besides Xu Yuan, those sentient beings are also a major reason players are drawn in."
"Without Xu Yuan and those beings, this game might quickly lose its appeal, fall from its pedestal, and not be much different from ordinary games."
At this point, Rookie even added a clarification, as if to avoid misunderstanding, "Of course, I'm not saying the game itself isn't well made. But that's just how things are. You understand, right?"
"So if they're really all gone, what happens to the game? What happens to the company?"
"Hm? Answer me!"
At this point, Rookie patted his chest and said, "As a programmer, I don't really care. I've already inherited Entity 303's legacy, so I don't have to worry about food or money. I'm financially free."
"And if things really go south, I'll just figure out a way to transmigrate."
After saying that, Rookie looked at Notch again. "But you, the company's CEO, won't be able to be as carefree as me."
Rookie thought he had already made things clear enough, but unexpectedly, his words still didn't stir any reaction in Notch. Notch didn't even pause to think before replying.
"When I first created Minecraft, my original intention was to make it a haven for all players, a world that belongs only to them."
"They could do anything they wanted in that world. Farming, fishing, adventuring, building, redstone… or doing nothing at all, just lying on the grass, watching the sunrise and sunset, lazing around for an entire day."
"That's the Minecraft I hoped for."
"But I never managed to achieve that goal."
"Commercialization of a game inevitably requires catering to many things. The game world that ended up being presented isn't the Minecraft I had in mind at all."
"I once thought the Minecraft in my heart would always remain an unreachable dream. But here, at this very moment, I see hope again."
At this point, Notch turned his gaze toward Xu Yuan and continued, "Maybe I can't create that ideal Minecraft myself, but I believe Xu Yuan can."
"I believe he will definitely shape this place into what I've always imagined. I believe he can turn it into a haven for countless beings and countless players."
"This will become a world that belongs to every one of them, every single being."
After saying that, Notch looked at Rookie with a relieved expression and said with a smile, "You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw."
"In the past, I gave up my dream in pursuit of fame and profit."
"Now that I've been given another chance to choose, I don't want to have any regrets this time. I'll firmly choose my dream."
"As for the price I have to pay for choosing that dream, I'll accept it all."
At this point, the serious look on Notch's face suddenly changed. He winked at Rookie, then gave a mischievous grin.
"If it really can't be solved… worst case, I'll just transmigrate!"
