Although he did attack, Stephen still couldn't figure out so things.
Why did Notch not make a move when he first encountered the little pig? It was obvious that the little pig did not have consciousness.
And later, after Notch continued to chase and arrived here, and discovered so many pumpkins, he still did not make a move, but instead let the little pig eat the pumpkins, while he harvested the other pumpkins himself.
Although Stephen couldn't understand Notch's thought process, he was very clear about Notch's pass rate at the ti.
Added to that, the Biological Association had always been in an opposing state with the players. So even though Stephen had many doubts in his heart, he still didn't want to let go of this opportunity.
That's why he launched an attack on Notch.
But after attacking Notch, Stephen had one more doubt in his heart.
Clearly, when he choked on phlegm, it was the best opportunity for Notch to counterattack. With Notch's 95% pass rate, when soone threatened his life, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up that opportunity.
But Notch didn't show any intention to counterattack.
'This player is really strange...'
Stephen truly couldn't figure out Notch's brain circuit, and just as he was preparing to continue attacking, Notch's actions once again refreshed his understanding.
He saw Notch take out a pumpkin from his backpack and toss it over toward Stephen.
Then he said, "You want this, right? Here… I'm giving it to you."
Although Notch was the ga creator, he hadn't been in the ga for long.
Moreover, Notch's long-standing wish had always been to make the ga a safe and happy haven for everyone.
Although Notch didn't really understand these animals and monsters who had developed consciousness within the ga, his original intention had never changed.
In Notch's eyes, these conscious monsters and animals were no different from the players.
He equally hoped that the ga he created could beco a shelter and a beautiful ho for them as well.
So Notch would not casually harm these beings who had already developed consciousness.
Unless, like the Wither Storm or the Wither before, they posed a threat to the overworld.
This was also why Notch, even after being attacked, had not drawn his weapon against Stephen.
He had not participated in the war between players and animals before, and did not know the grudges between players and animals.
Stephen's act of attacking, in Notch's eyes, he rely thought Stephen might want those pumpkins.
It had to be said, although Notch was already middle-aged, he had always maintained that sincerity and pure heart of his.
At this mont, seeing the pumpkin Notch threw out, and hearing Notch's words, Stephen's mind completely froze.
'?????? What is he doing?…'
'Could it be that he thinks I attacked him because of those pumpkins?...'
'No!… His pass rate is as high as 95%... this must be a trap he set up!'
From the mont he first encountered Notch, all of Notch's behaviors had been unfathomable in Stephen's eyes. He simply couldn't keep up with Notch's brain circuit.
Stephen truly could not understand Notch's intentions. This player with a 95% pass rate was just too strange. Every step he took was sothing Stephen had never predicted.
While Stephen was still thinking, the Notch in front of him, seeing that Stephen seed too afraid to approach, picked up the pumpkin he had just thrown on the ground and forcefully tossed it again in Stephen's direction.
Then he pointed to the side and said, "This one's for you. There are two more over there, I won't pick them, I'll leave them for you..."
"I also left three for that little pig..."
After Notch finished distributing, he was actually left with only two pumpkins in his hands. And one of them had already been riddled with holes from Stephen's spit attack.
But he still generously gave the pumpkins away.
The reason he was so generous was also because he didn't care about gains or losses, and had no desire to win or compete.
But he was very clear that these conscious beings ca here with a purpose. They wanted to change their fate.
Notch couldn't think of a way to change their fate for now, but ultimately, these conscious creatures being slaughtered by players, was also because of the ga's original setting.
Although the current dilemma faced by these conscious creatures wasn't directly caused by Notch, he still felt he could not escape the bla.
After all, the ga's original settings were made by him.
So what he could do now was try his best to make up for it. After encountering them, he could try his best to help them a little.
Hearing Notch's words, Stephen suddenly didn't know what to do. He had always held strong vigilance against Notch, and a voice in his head kept warning him not to trust Notch.
But seeing Notch's every move and hearing what he said, Stephen's mind suddenly beca a ss.
He didn't know what to do anymore.
'Let test him one last ti…' After thinking for a mont, Stephen had made up his mind.
He slowly approached the middle pumpkin that Notch had thrown over, then used his leg to move it under himself.
This was Stephen's final test for Notch, and also his final test for his own heart.
Seeing Stephen accept the pumpkin he threw over, Notch also breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Stephen and said, "Then I'll be going first. I've given you the pumpkins, don't sneak attack , okay!"
As Notch spoke, he turned around and walked away in the opposite direction.
It was obvious that Notch had passed Stephen's test. He had not set any traps, nor had he shown any intention to attack Stephen.
Watching Notch's departing figure, although the crisis had been resolved, Stephen's heart remained unsettled for a long ti.
Notch's behavior had completely overturned his understanding of players. He couldn't understand why Notch acted the way he did.
He had never thought a player would give most of his food to him while he was starving.
As Notch was almost out of sight, Stephen couldn't hold it in anymore and called out to him.
"Wait!"
Stephen's voice undoubtedly startled Notch. He turned around with a shocked expression and looked at Stephen.
"You… you can talk?!!"
Although Notch knew so conscious creatures could talk, it seed like only a small number could.
Notch had been in the ga for quite a while and still hadn't encountered any until now. Seeing a live one now, of course he would be excited.
Seeing Notch's reaction, Stephen couldn't help but feel speechless.
Notch looked like he had never seen the world before, and Stephen even began to doubt if he had mistaken him for soone else.
He didn't answer Notch's aningless question but asked him, "Why didn't you kill that little pig?"
Hearing Stephen's question, Notch shrugged and said, "Not all conscious animals can talk like you do. Since I can't tell, it's safer this way."
Hearing this, Stephen took a deep breath and asked Notch again, "I was the one who attacked you first… You didn't fight back, and even gave food…"
"Why?..."
Hearing Stephen's question, Notch continued to explain, "I don't think anyone would draw their weapon at a stranger for no reason."
"If you attacked , there must be a reason. After thinking it over, it must be because of these pumpkins."
Hearing Notch's words, Stephen's anger was ignited. "No one would draw their weapon at a stranger for no reason? You players don't count as 'people' then?"
It was obvious Stephen had been through a lot of hardship.
Just like he said, the ones who draw weapons at unfamiliar lives without reason the most, were the players.
And hearing such a sentence from a player's mouth now, was indeed very ironic.
Stephen's words were not pleasant, but they were honest.
Hearing what Stephen said, Notch sighed helplessly and replied, "You know, it takes 21 days to form a habit."
"A habit is sothing very hard to change. From the ti this world was born, to the ti you were born, to now, countless cycles of 21 days have passed."
"The rules set at the birth of this world have already been engraved deep in the bones of the players. To change it is a very difficult thing. One must break existing habits and rules."
"But there will always be soone who takes that first step, to break the rules."
Saying this, Notch looked at Stephen and said, "I believe, I am not a special case."
"Although I can't represent everyone, I'm willing to do my best to let more people join in. If we keep ignoring a problem just because it's hard, we'll never find a solution, right?"
