Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Every Ending Is a New Beginning. Thanks for All the Blocks! After relying on Doc's experimental VR tech for so long, Morgan felt relieved to load into their game of Minecraft the good old- fashioned way. He was using his own game controller, which was decorated with Minecraft stickers; it felt so comfortable and familiar in his hands that he almost believed it had been custom built just for him. He wore headphones to immerse himself in the sounds of the game…and to make it easy to chat with his friends. For a moment, he worried that the game would be gone. What if the Fault had spread over the Internet like a virus? What if every instance of Minecraft across the world had been consumed or warped by the crack in the code? But his worries lifted as soon as the game loaded. Here was Minecraft, just as he remembered it. The Overworld had reset. The sun was high in a blue sky. The ground was solid beneath his feet. And his friends were there at his side. Even Ash, who was back home now but able to connect from afar.

第十五章每个结束都是一个新的开始 谢谢所有的积木！在长期依赖博士的实验性虚拟现实技术之后，摩根感到放心，可以用传统的方式加载他们的《我的世界》游戏。 他用的是自己的游戏控制器，上面装饰着《我的世界》（Minecraft）贴纸；它在他手里感觉那么舒服，那么熟悉，他几乎相信它是专门为他定制的。 他戴着耳机沉浸在游戏的声音中，也方便与朋友聊天。 有那么一刻，他担心游戏会消失。 如果“故障”像病毒一样在互联网上传播呢？ 如果世界各地的《我的世界》的每一个实例都被代码中的漏洞所消耗或扭曲了呢？ 但当游戏加载完毕后，他的担忧就消失了。 这就是他记忆中的《我的世界》。 上层世界被重置了。太阳高高地挂在蓝天上。 他脚下的地面是坚实的。 他的朋友们都在他身边。 即使是阿什，他现在回到了家，但可以从远处联系。

"This is what I expected, from looking at the code," said Theo. "We plugged the hole in the game's programming when we put the Evoker King back together, but it caused a full reset. Our entire game has been rebooted." "Aw, but all our stuff!" said Po. "Our diamond pants! Our enchanted fishing rods! My huge library of skins!" "Sorry, Po," said Jodi, and she patted his head gently. "But look at it as an opportunity. Out with the old and in with the new." Po perked up. "Hey! You're an artist," he said. "You want to help me design some new looks? That half bee and half axolotl skin gave me some ideas." "I would be delighted," said Jodi, bowing.

西奥说：“这正是我从代码中所期望的。” “当我们将Evoker King重新组合在一起时，我们填补了游戏编程中的漏洞，但它导致了完全重置。 我们的整个游戏都重新启动了。” 阿宝说：“哦，但是我们所有的东西！” “我们的钻石裤子！”我们的魔法鱼竿！我庞大的皮肤库！”“对不起，阿宝，”乔迪说，她轻轻地拍了拍他的头。 “但把它看作是一个机会。 旧的去了，新的来了。” 阿宝振作起来。“嘿!你是个艺术家，”他说。 “你想帮我设计一些新造型吗？” 那张半蜜蜂半蝾螈的皮给了我一些灵感。” “我很乐意。”乔迪鞠躬说。

"I'm going to ask what everyone's thinking," said Ash. "Is the Evoker King here somewhere? Does he even exist anymore?" "He said he wanted to experience the game in a new way," said Theo. "He must be here somewhere." "Sounds like we have our first mission," said Harper. "But where do we start?" "We start like we always do," said Morgan. He struck a tree until it produced wood. "We gather resources. And we make tools." "And pets!" said Jodi. "We're going to need pets!" "Somebody grab that pig!" said Po, and he and Jodi chased a poor confused pig in circles. Morgan felt totally at peace. As he crafted planks and sticks from blocks of wood, he took a moment to

“我要问问大家在想什么，”阿什说。 “唤醒王在这里吗？” 他还存在吗？”“他说他想以一种新的方式体验比赛，”西奥说。 “他一定在这里的某个地方。” “听起来我们有了第一个任务，”哈珀说。 “但是我们从哪里开始呢？”“我们像往常一样开始，”摩根说。 他击打一棵树，直到它长出木头。 “我们收集资源。我们制造工具。” “还有宠物！”乔迪说。“我们需要宠物！”“谁来抓住那只猪！”阿宝说，然后他和乔迪绕着圈子追着一头困惑的可怜猪。 摩根感到完全平静了。 当他用木块制作木板和木棍时，他花了一点时间

appreciate the pleasure of starting a game from the beginning. Everything felt so simple all of a sudden. "Don't freak out," whispered Harper. "But someone's watching us from the trees."

欣赏从头开始游戏的乐趣。 突然间，一切都变得如此简单。 “别惊慌。”哈珀小声说。 “但有人在树上看着我们。”

Po and Jodi settled down, and Morgan looked up from his work. Harper was right. A figure stepped forward from behind a tree trunk. Morgan braced himself for a fight. But the figure wasn't any kind of mob, hostile or otherwise. It was a kid. "Hi," said the boy. "I really thought I was all alone here." "Who are you?" asked Morgan. "Are you a Woodsword student? Do you go to Ironsword?" "I'm not sure," said the boy. "I don't think so. I'm… new." "New in what way?" asked Ash. The boy shrugged. "Just…new." "Does he look familiar?" asked Theo.

阿宝和乔迪安顿下来，摩根从工作中抬起头来。 哈珀是对的。一个人影从树干后面走了出来。 摩根做好了战斗的准备 但这个人影并不是什么暴徒，无论是怀有敌意的还是其他的。 是个孩子。“嗨，”男孩说。 “我真的以为这里只有我一个人。” “你是谁？”摩根问。 “你是林剑的学生吗？” 你去铁剑吗？”“我不确定，”男孩说。 “我不这么认为。我…。” “什么方面的新？”阿什问。 男孩耸耸肩。“只是……新。” “他看起来眼熟吗？”西奥问。

"Yes," said Harper. "He definitely evokes a memory of someone we used to know." Morgan smiled. "Let me guess. You want to experience everything this world has to offer." "That's right," said the boy, returning Morgan's smile. "But monsters come out at night. I could use some allies. Maybe…maybe some friends." He took a hesitant step forward. "I don't know why. But I feel like I can trust you all." "You can trust us," promised Ash. "That's right," said Morgan. "You want to learn all about Minecraft? Well…" Morgan extended his blocky fist in greeting. "We've got a lot to show you."

“是的。”哈帕说。“他肯定让我们想起了一个我们曾经认识的人。” 摩根笑了。“让我猜猜。 你想体验这个世界提供的一切。” “没错，”男孩说，报以摩根的微笑。 “可是妖怪晚上出来。 我需要一些盟友。也许……也许是一些朋友。” 他犹豫地向前迈了一步。 “我不知道为什么。但我觉得我可以信任你们所有人。” “你可以相信我们。”阿什保证道。 “没错，”摩根说。 “你想了解《我的世界》吗？” 摩根伸出他粗壮的拳头打招呼。 “我们有很多东西要给你看。”
