Chapter 1

CRACK IN THE CODE! MINECRAFT STONESWORD SAGR

破解密码！我的世界石字sagr

PROLOGUE Theo Grayson stood alone in the Overworld. He wasn't supposed to be here by himself. It was one of his friends' most important rules. Nobody went into Minecraft alone. There were monsters out there, after all. And he and his friends had souped-up goggles that let them actually enter the game for real. And that meant the monsters, the danger—and the unknown—were real. But today, curiosity had its hooks in him. He was here looking for something. Something new. Something…unusual.

西奥·格雷森独自站在上面世界。 他不应该一个人在这里。 这是他朋友们最重要的规则之一。 没有人独自进入《我的世界》。 毕竟外面有怪物。 他和他的朋友们戴着放大的护目镜，让他们真正进入游戏。 这意味着怪物、危险和未知都是真实存在的。 但今天，好奇心勾住了他。 他是来找东西的。 一些新的东西。那些不寻常的东西。

Theo saw all the most common mobs of Minecraft. He saw chickens and sheep. He saw pigs and cows. And then he saw something colorful out of the corner of his eye. Theo's digital avatar didn't have a heartbeat, but he felt like his pulse was racing. His avatar didn't have lungs, but he felt like he was holding his breath. He spun around and looked to the sky. There, fluttering in the air, was a single butterfly. "I've done it," Theo said out loud, even though he was alone. "I've created a new mob!" He hoped his friends would be impressed. He hoped they wouldn't be mad—even though he had broken a second rule that day. He wasn't supposed to mess with the code. But that was one rule he didn't agree with. He was just doing a little modding. What was the worst that could happen?

Theo看到了《我的世界》中所有最常见的怪物。 他看到鸡和羊。 他看到了猪和牛。然后，他的眼角看到了一些彩色的东西。 西奥的数字化身没有心跳，但他感觉自己的脉搏在加速。 他的化身没有肺，但他感觉自己在屏住呼吸。 他转过身，望着天空。 那里有一只蝴蝶在空中飞舞。 “我做到了。”西奥大声说，尽管只有他一个人。 “我创造了一个新的暴民！”他希望他的朋友们会对此印象深刻。 他希望他们不要生气——尽管那天他又违反了一条规矩。 他不应该乱动代码的。 但这是他不同意的一条规则。 他只是做了点改装。 最坏的情况是什么？

Chapter 1 THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY... NO. WAIT. THIS IS GOING TO BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Theo arrived early at Woodsword Middle School. For once, he was eager to start the day. After all, he had news to share with his friends. Big news. Big Minecraft-related news.

第1章事物变化越多，它们就越…… 否。等待。这将是完全不同的。 西奥很早就到了木剑中学。 这一次，他渴望开始新的一天。 毕竟，他有消息要和朋友们分享。 大新闻。我的世界相关的大新闻。

Theo was the newest member of an unofficial Minecraft club. On most days, the club met after school in Woodsword's computer lab, where they played Minecraft together on a shared server. But Theo couldn't wait until after school. He needed to find his friends right away. He hurried to the large oak tree where the group sometimes gathered before school. Today, only one figure stood beneath the tree. She wore a fedora and dark sunglasses. Despite the disguise, Theo recognized Jodi Mercado immediately.

西奥是非官方《我的世界》俱乐部的最新成员。 在大多数日子里，俱乐部成员放学后在Woodsword的计算机实验室见面，在那里他们在一个共享服务器上一起玩《我的世界》。 但西奥等不及放学了。 他需要马上找到他的朋友。 他急忙跑到一棵大橡树前，这群人有时会在那里上课。 今天，只有一个人站在树下。 她戴着软呢帽，戴着墨镜。 尽管乔装打扮，西奥还是立刻认出了乔迪·梅尔卡多。
