Chapter 3

Chapter 3 SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF MINECRAFT.... Po wondered if his wizard face showed just how upset he was. Maybe the beard hid his frown? He didn't get angry very often. Usually, he tried to laugh about stuff that bothered him. But today, he was angry. "I don't understand how your parents could do this to you," he said. Ash's avatar just shrugged. "It wasn't really their decision. MY MOM'S JOB MAKES HER MOVE SOMETIMES."

第三章有些东西在我的世界....的状态中腐烂了 阿宝不知道他的巫师脸是否显示出他有多难过。 也许是胡子遮住了他的皱眉？ 他不常生气。 通常，他会对困扰他的事情一笑置之。 但是今天，他很生气。“我不明白你的父母怎么能这样对你，”他说。 阿什的化身只是耸耸肩。 “这其实不是他们的决定。 我妈妈的工作有时会让她搬家。”

"Could she get another job?" asked Harper. "Could she do her job remotely?" asked Jodi. "EVERYTHING IS VIRTUAL THESE DAYS!" Despite his anger, Po chuckled at that. Everything certainly was virtual, where they were standing. "My mom's definitely not going to get another job," Ash said. "And she has to work on-site, but she likes that. She's an engineer. It's her dream job." Ash had broken the news to them throughout the day, one at a time. They had decided to have a group meeting to discuss it…and to have their meeting in Minecraft, where they had some privacy. The group also had

“她能再找份工作吗？”哈珀问。 “她能远程工作吗？”乔迪问。 “现在一切都是虚拟的！”尽管很生气，阿宝还是笑了。 他们所站的地方，一切都是虚拟的。 “我妈妈肯定不会再找工作了，”阿什说。 她必须在现场工作，但她喜欢这样。 她是个工程师。这是她梦寐以求的工作。” 阿什一整天都在把这个消息一个一个地告诉他们。 他们决定召开一个小组会议来讨论这个问题，并在《我的世界》中举行会议，在那里他们有一些隐私。 这个小组也有

important work to do. "Now, who has the wither skeleton skulls?" Ash asked. "Ha!" said Po. "That's one way to change the subject." "I'VE GOT THE SKULLS," Harper said. "I picked them up along with lots of soul sand and other items when we were in the Nether. You never know when soul sand is going to come in handy." "We only need three," said Morgan. "You'll need to place them in a row on top of the soul sand." "But not until we're ready!" Ash said. "We're in for a real battle here." "IT'S A VERY STRANGE PLAN," said Jodi.

重要的工作要做。“现在，谁有枯萎的骷髅头骨？”灰问道。 “哈！”阿宝说。“这是转移话题的一种方式。” “我拿到骷髅头了。”哈珀说。 “当我们在地狱的时候，我把它们和许多灵魂之沙和其他物品一起捡了起来。 你永远不知道什么时候灵魂之砂会派上用场。” “我们只需要三个，”摩根说。 “你需要把它们排成一排，放在灵魂沙上面。” “但得等我们准备好了才行！”灰说。 “我们正在进行一场真正的战斗。” “这是一个非常奇怪的计划，”乔迪说。

"Are we really creating a monster that's going to try to destroy us?" "Well…yeah," said Morgan. "When you put it that way, it's a weird plan." "We need to talk to the Librarian," Ash said. "And I think building a beacon is the best way to get her attention." "AND TO MAKE A BEACON, WE NEED A NETHER STAR," said Morgan. "AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET A NETHER STAR IS BY DEFEATING A WITHER," said Ash. "And a wither is…what, again?" asked Jodi. Morgan looked sheepish. "IT'S A SUPER- HOSTILE, FLYING UNDEAD BOSS MOB WITH THREE SKELETAL HEADS." "Oh, good. I was worried it was going to be something bad," Jodi replied sarcastically. "Perhaps we should invite it over for dinner." "We can handle it," Ash insisted. "EVERYBODY GET YOUR WEAPONS READY. Harper, go ahead." Po held his breath. He watched as Harper placed three pitch-black skulls in a row. Then she took a

“我们真的在创造一个试图毁灭我们的怪物吗？”“嗯……是的，”摩根说。 “当你这么说的时候，这是一个奇怪的计划。” “我们需要和图书管理员谈谈。”阿什说。 “我认为建造一个灯塔是引起她注意的最好方法。” “要做灯塔，我们需要一颗冥星。”摩根说。 “获得冥界之星的唯一方法就是打败凋零。”阿什说。 “枯萎是……什么，再说一遍？”乔迪问。 摩根显得有些不好意思。“这是一个超级敌对的、会飞的、有三个骷髅头的不死族boss。” “哦,好。我还担心会是什么坏事呢，”乔迪讽刺地回答。 “也许我们应该邀请它过来吃晚饭。” “我们能处理好。”阿什坚持说。 “所有人准备好武器。 哈珀，去吧。”阿宝屏住呼吸。 他看着哈珀把三个漆黑的头骨排成一排。 然后她拿了一个。

big step back and drew her sword. Nothing happened. "IT'S NOT WORKING," Morgan said. "Typical!" said Po. "The one time you want to face a hostile mob, it doesn't happen." Ash poked at one of the skulls. Morgan kicked at the soul sand. Po had a sinking feeling. He still couldn't change his avatar skin. He hadn't mentioned it to the others, because it seemed like a minor problem in comparison to everything else they were dealing with. But now he wondered: broken wither, broken

后退了一大步，拔出了剑。 什么也没有发生。“这行不通，”摩根说。 “典型！”阿宝说。“当你想面对一群充满敌意的暴徒时，这种情况不会发生。” 阿什戳了戳其中一个头骨。 摩根踢着灵魂沙。 阿宝有一种不祥的预感。他仍然无法改变化身的皮肤。 他没有向其他人提起这件事，因为与他们正在处理的其他事情相比，这似乎是个小问题。 但现在他在想：破碎的枯萎，破碎的

skin library. Was it a coincidence? He pulled an ax from his inventory. He took a swing at a nearby tree. Again: nothing happened. Once, when Po had been new to the game, he'd tried to cut his way into a mountain using a wooden pickaxe. It had taken forever to even make a dent. Back then, he hadn't known that you were supposed to use a stronger tool to cut through stone. He swung again and again, but if the ax was doing anything, he couldn't tell. And this was a diamond ax that he was using. It should have cut through pretty much anything. It should certainly have been able to chop through a tree! He tried several more times to be sure. Still nothing. "Uh, you guys?" he said. "Am I doing this the right way?" "That's strange," said Harper. She pulled an iron shovel from her own inventory. She tried to use it to dig into the ground, but the shovel was useless. "I don't understand this."

皮肤库。这是巧合吗？ 他从清单里拿出一把斧头。 他朝附近的一棵树挥杆。 同样，什么也没发生。有一次，当阿宝刚开始玩这个游戏的时候，他试图用一把木鹤嘴锄在一座山上开路。 甚至连一个凹痕都花了很长时间。 那时候，他还不知道你应该用更有力的工具来切割石头。 他一挥又一挥，但斧子是否有动静，他看不出来。 他用的是一把钻石斧头。 它应该能穿透任何东西。 它当然应该能够砍断一棵树！为了确定，他又试了几次。 还是什么都没有。“你们呢？”他说。 “我这样做对吗？”“真奇怪。”哈珀说。 她从自己的存货中抽出一把铁铲。 她想用铲子挖地，但铲子没用。 “我不明白。”
