Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Where There's a Theo, There's a Way! Hmm…That Doesn't Sound Right. Maybe That's Someone Else. "I'm here!" Ash answered in Theo's headset. "So is Eek." "Hello, Theo! I have made you a boat." "He's made you a lot of boats." "Um, thanks!" Theo didn't waste any time trying to figure out what that meant; he dove right into the situation. "We got in trouble. We have to go clean the school—like detention. None of us can play till this big list is done—but I have an idea. Other people. When we were trying to

第5章哪里有西奥，哪里就有办法！嗯……听起来不太对劲。 也许那是别人。 “我在这里!”阿什在西奥的耳机里回答。 “埃克也是。”“你好,西奥!我给你做了一只船。” “他给你做了很多船。” “嗯,谢谢!”西奥没有浪费时间去想这是什么意思；他一头扎进了那个局面。 “我们遇到了麻烦。我们得去打扫学校式的关禁闭。 在这个大名单完成之前，我们谁也不能玩——但我有个主意。 其他人。当我们试图

save the Evoker King, during the storm, we had a bunch of friends help us, right? I'm thinking we do the same thing here." "We're in the Nether. We need to get those blaze rods!" Harper had put on her headset, too. "And if other people can log in with us, getting Eek to the End will be way easier. Starting tomorrow, we could have a whole computer lab full of players!" "That sounds amazing!" Ash said. "I would love to meet more friends," Eek added. "Tell them to bring additional wood…for more boats." Theo could barely contain his excitement. "The game won't let me, Harper, or Morgan log in because our avatars died—and it wouldn't let us make new accounts, either. I think the server knows who we are, somehow. But if we can find someone to test it—"

除了唤起者之王，在风暴期间，我们有一群朋友帮助我们，对吧？ 我想我们在这里也会这么做。” “我们在阴间。我们需要那些火焰棒！”哈珀也戴上了耳机。 “如果其他人也能登录我们的游戏，那么玩《week to the End》就容易多了。 从明天开始，我们的电脑室里就会满是玩家！”“听起来太棒了！”灰说。 “我很想认识更多的朋友，”埃克补充道。 “告诉他们带更多的木头来……好造更多的船。” 西奥几乎无法抑制他的兴奋。 “游戏不允许我、Harper和Morgan登录，因为我们的虚拟形象死了——也不允许我们创建新账户。 我觉得服务员知道我们是谁。 但如果我们能找到人来检验它——”

Someone knocked on the edge of the computer lab door. "Hey! You need someone for a test?" It was Will! Po, who had been unusually quiet since the principal's office, finally spoke up. "What are you doing here?! Principal Ferris said—" "Aw, who cares?!" Will stuck out his tongue. "He's always mad about something. I wanted to make sure y'all were okay." Wow, Theo thought. Will is brave. Po frowned. "If you're sure."

有人敲了敲计算机实验室的门。 “嘿!你需要找人做个检查吗？”是威尔！阿宝从校长办公室出来后就一直沉默寡言，现在终于开口了。 “你在这儿干什么？”费里斯校长说——“啊，谁在乎呢？！”威尔伸出舌头。 “他总是为一些事情生气。 我想确保你们都没事。” 哇，西奥想。威尔很勇敢。 阿宝皱起了眉头。“如果你确定的话。”

"I'm sure. And come on, it's Minecraft! I'm not going to miss the chance to actually play with you. What's the test?" This was perfect! Will was a great subject for the test: he'd never played with them, but he loved Minecraft—and Morgan had told him the whole story of their strange server the day before. "We want to see if more players can log in to help Eek. If they can, the rest of this week will be easy. We can find some of our other Woodsword friends to play instead of us today, and then tomorrow—" "A whole crew!" Will was excited, too. "Of course I'll help. Let me see…" Their Minecraft server was a large cube at the center of a round table. With their teacher Doc Culpepper's help, Theo and Harper had connected several computers and monitors to it in a web of cables and keyboards—the junk Principal Ferris wanted to get rid of. Will sat down in front of one of the monitors. He opened Minecraft. He typed in his username, WKNIGHT, and his password. Theo couldn't see the

“我确定。拜托，这是我的世界！我不会错过和你一起玩的机会的。 测试是什么？”这太完美了！威尔是一个很好的测试对象：他从来没有和他们一起玩过，但他喜欢我的世界——摩根前一天告诉了他他们奇怪的服务器的全部故事。 “我们想看看是否有更多玩家登录帮助Eek。 如果他们能做到，这周剩下的时间就很容易了。 我们可以找一些其他的木剑朋友今天代替我们玩，然后明天——”“一整个团队！”威尔也很兴奋。 “我当然会帮忙。让我看看……”他们的《我的世界》服务器是一个位于圆桌中心的大立方体。 在老师卡尔佩珀博士的帮助下，西奥和哈珀把几台电脑和显示器用电缆和键盘连接起来——这是费里斯校长想处理掉的垃圾。 威尔在一台显示器前坐了下来。 他打开了Minecraft。他输入了自己的用户名WKNIGHT和密码。 西奥看不见

password, of course, because it showed up as asterisks:*********. "Here goes nothing!" Will clicked the button to log in. <ERROR>. Everybody groaned. "Noooo!" Jodi cried. "NOOOOO," Po added dramatically. "No!" Morgan croaked. Ash sighed. "Sounds like it didn't work."

密码，当然，因为它显示为星号：*********。 “这里什么也没有！”威尔点击按钮登录。 > <错误。每个人都呻吟着。 “他!”乔迪•哭了。“不，”阿宝戏剧性地补充道。 “不!”摩根呱呱的声音。灰叹了口气。 “听起来好像行不通。”

"Maybe I typed my log-in wrong. Let me see…" Will tried again. WKNIGHT, *********. <ERROR>. Well, there goes that plan. Theo threw his headset off and was already pacing around the room. It didn't make sense! Keeping out players whose avatars were defeated was already confusing, but at least he could see some logic to it. The Evoker King wanted Eek to take the Minecraft world seriously and had added some rules to make sure the challenges and threats felt real.

“也许我的登录密码打错了。 让我想想……”威尔又试了一次。 WKNIGHT , *********.> <错误。 好吧，这就是计划。 西奥摘下耳机，开始在房间里踱来踱去。 这说不通啊！将角色被打败的玩家拒之门外已经让人感到困惑，但至少他能从中看出一些逻辑。 Evoker King希望Eek认真对待《我的世界》，并添加了一些规则来确保挑战和威胁的真实性。
