FACTS OR RUMORS

“Anna, what’s going on?” asked Edison.

“There are no mobs in the Overworld,” Anna explained, “and it’s causing a horrible effect on the universe.”

“We think someone is tampering with the hostile mobs in order to win the treasure hunt,” said Billy. “We were going to report them, but I wanted to go on with the hunt. I feel bad that I didn’t report them, but I was having so much fun being a part of the competition.”

Anna said, “But the competition is so small in comparison to what is happening across the Overworld. There are no mobs, which means there is no meat, and people have been stealing from farms in the middle of the night when nobody can see them. This lack of mobs has created a famine across the Overworld. The food shortage is intense, and people are starving. Do you have any food in your inventory?”

Edison looked through his inventory and found some chicken. “I have a piece of chicken.”

“You’d give me a piece of chicken? That is so rare. You can trade chicken for almost anything. I can’t take anything that valuable from you,” said Anna.

“I want to give it to you. You’re a good friend.” Edison handed her a piece of chicken, but she refused to take it.

“I will take anything else, but I won’t take a piece of chicken. Do you have a piece of bread or a cookie?”

Billy pulled a piece of bread from his inventory. “Is this good?”

Anna ate the bread in one bite. “Thank you. I was starving. This happened so quickly, nobody had time to prepare.”

“Now we have to find the person or people responsible for this, because we can’t let them destroy the Overworld,” said Billy.

“Do you really think it’s all happening because of the competition? Or is this something bigger? Is someone trying to ruin the Overworld?” asked Anna.

“It seems like too much of a coincidence,” said Billy. “There have been a few treasure hunters that ­haven’t followed the rules of the competition, and I think they could be behind this attack.”

“Are you talking about Sally and Herman?” asked Edison.

“I also wonder about Spencer and Aaron. I find it odd that they disappeared before the rainstorm,” said Billy.

“Yes, the rainstorm was the brief period when mobs returned, but nobody could hunt because there was a skeleton attack,” said Anna.

“We had to battle skeletons too,” remarked Edison. “This can’t go on. We have to put an end to this. We can’t let the people of the Overworld starve.”

Billy didn’t want to express his disappointment for the competition coming to an end when the Overworld was in such an awful state, but he had to admit that he was very sad to leave the treasure hunt. “We will find the people behind this. Anna, are you going to help us?”

“Of course. We always work together.” She smiled. “And now I can think because I have eaten. You have no idea how awful it is to have nothing to eat. I couldn’t think about anything else but getting some food into my stomach.
