-
Let's go. Open up. It's time for parkour.
-
Alright, time for my mandatory parkour
check. Sigh. Let's get this over with.
-
You're late. You know the deal. You can do
the one block jump for the raw chicken, or
-
you can attempt the one block vertical
jump for the beef.
-
Here, in parkour civilization, no one
chooses to jump for
-
the beef. It's better to be safe and do
the one block jump for the chicken rather
-
than risk your entire life for just half a
hunger bar more.
-
Tomorrow, you better not be late.
Or you'll be doing two block jumps as
-
punishment.
-
Yes, sir.
Sorry, I won't be late next time.
-
Down here, us parkour noobs only get fed
once a day.
-
One piece of raw chicken is just enough to
get you to the next day.
-
But that's the life of parkour
civilization.
-
If you wanna survive,
you have to parkour.
-
Every parkour noob has the same goal.
-
And that's to make it to the top layer
where all the parkour pros live.
-
Except most parkour pros are born on the
top layer.
-
If you're a parkour noob, there's only one
way up.
-
And that is through the Temple of Parkour.
-
The Temple of Parkour is the only
structure in the world that combines the
-
bottom layer to the top layer.
-
To make it up, you have to do an
incredibly hard parkour course that no
-
parkour noob has ever completed.
-
And that's assuming you even get the
chance to complete the course.
-
The inside of the temple is protected by a
barrier.
-
And the only way a parkour noob gets past
a barrier is if they've earned a ticket.
-
I've never even tried getting a ticket
before, but if I'm gonna rank up to a
-
parkour pro one day, I'm gonna have to.
-
In my neighborhood pretty much everyone
has fallen into the void and died
-
except for the guy who lives right
next to me.
-
He's been my neighbor for five years.
-
No! Why did you try going for the beef?
-
I guess I have to change my statement.
-
I now live in in this neighborhood alone.
-
In parkour civilization, only parkour pros
are allowed to break or place blocks.
-
For parkour noobs, it's strictly
prohibited.
-
And unfortunately, I found that out the
hard way.
-
A while ago I was searching around and I
somehow stumbled upon an oak log.
-
No one has seen an oak log in years since
trees don't exist in parkour civilization
-
so I had to try to take it.
-
Stop right now.
-
Oh no, I'm done for.
-
You really thought you could break that
without me noticing?
-
What, were you gonna try to cheat
parkour?
-
No, sir, I didn't try to cheat. I just
thought it would be super rare and I
-
wanted to collect it.
-
Stop talking. Give me two jumps now.
-
Two jumps in a row? Okay.
Sorry sir, I'll do it right now.
-
You know what? You seem a little too
happy about two. Let's make it three.
-
Okay? I'll do three...
-
You know what? Now let's make it four
jumps in a row.
-
Ah, four in a row? Come on.
-
In parkour civilization it should be no
surprise that all punishments were just
-
more forms of parkour.
-
And that was the last time I ever tried
breaking a block.
-
You're lucky you got a light punishment.
Don't forget you're at the bottom
-
so follow the rules.
-
It's safe to say that if you're at the
bottom level of parkour civilization
-
it's not exactly the best.
-
But not everything in parkour civilization
is that bad.
-
For example, I was able to use parkour to
buy the biggest house in the neighborhood.
-
In parkour civilization literally
everything is parkour
-
and that means parkour has replaced money.
-
Welcome. Choose which house you wanna buy.
-
It's pretty nice in parkour civilization,
all you have to do to buy anything is just
-
make more parkour jumps.
-
I'm not really sure why or how parkour
works as a currency, but all I know is
-
I basically bought a two-storey house for
free.
-
Somehow when I was buying my house I
convinced myself to go for the ladder jump
-
to buy the bigger house.
-
In parkour civilization parkour jumps with
trickier items like ladders are worth more
-
That's why this jump basically bought me
a mansion.
-
No way! Thank you for buying the big house
-
Let me take you right to it.
Just follow me.
-
Let's go! This is awesome, I just
bought my first house.
-
All houses in parkour civilization are
pre-built.
-
And they all have one thing in common.
-
It's a requirement that every single house
has a parkour jump inside to get to your
-
bed. This is a way to make sure everyone
in parkour civilization parkours
-
everywhere they go.
Even inside the house.
-
So, this is the neighborhood you'll be
living in. You're the only two-storey
-
house here. So if you'll follow me, I'll
give you a house tour.
-
This is so sick! That ladder jump
literally made me the richest one in the
-
neighborhood.
-
As you can see, you have a jump on the
top floor and a jump on the bottom floor.
-
Let me show you the upstairs and then the
house is all yours.
-
Alright, I mean everything looks good.
I just have to do this jump to my bed.
-
Uh, yeah!
I think I got everything figured out.
-
Perfect. Last thing, I just need to check
if your parkour jump is good.
-
How are you supposed to check if it's
good?
-
Wait, what the?
-
Did this guy for real just jump off?
-
Uh... I'm really confused. Is he alive?
Why did he do that?
-
Alright, just wanted to confirm that your
house is ready to move in.
-
The guy did in fact die so everything
should be good.
-
That guy seriously died?
-
Uh... don't worry about it. It's a part of
the job. Enjoy your house.
-
How is that a part of the job?
What?
-
No one really remembers how parkour
civilization started.
-
Most of the parkour noobs down here at
least think that the parkour pros were the
-
ones who started it.
-
But the truth is, I think I was the one
who started it.
-
For some reason, I can't remember the best
but I'm pretty sure this is how the
-
story went.
-
Yo, Seawatt.
-
Yo, hello?
-
Bro, you think I could get a diamond real
quick? I was mining for like three hours
-
and I only found two diamonds, and I just
wanna make a diamond pickaxe.
-
Uh, sorry. Don't have any to spare.
-
Bro, come on. Don't be like that, you're
literally just holding one.
-
Dude, just gimme one and I'll pay you
back later. I just need a pickaxe.
-
Alright, fine. Give me one second.
If you want a diamond, you gotta give me
-
something. Alright, watch out.
Back off for one second.
-
Look. If you can make this four-block jump
I'll pay you one diamond.
-
Make this four-block jump?
Wait, why? Why are you gonna pay me to
-
do parkour? What do you even gain from
this?
-
Uh, I don't know. I've just never seen
anyone do it before.
-
I'd pay to see it done.
-
Okay, I'll take the offer.
-
Ugh, this is so annoying.
Alright, just give me a second.
-
I know it's possible, I've done it before.
-
I told you bro, it's not possible.
-
Just stop talking and watch, I'm gonna do
it in like 30 seconds.
-
Aaaand, there we go. Finally.
Look, I told you it was possible.
-
No way, that was actually incredible!
Alright, well, I got my money's worth.
-
Let's go, I got paid for parkour!
-
If you want, I can keep making more
parkour to do and I'll pay you for it.
-
Are you kidding? Dude, totally.
Alright, I'll be back here tomorrow
-
I guess.
-
And this is basically how parkouring for
money started.
-
The next day I showed up to see Seawatt's
house, he offered me way more diamonds
-
this time and he constructed an entire
parkour course outside of his house to do.
-
But little did we know that this parkour
course would completely change the way
-
that the world works.
-
Soon after this event, the parkour
civilisation began.
-
Now that I think about it, there's kind of
an unexplainable gap between those events
-
and now, but... oh well!
-
Parkour check time, you got 30 seconds.
-
Ah, another beautiful morning and I have
to parkour for some more raw chicken that
-
will make me starve even more.
-
Alright, alright, I'm here.
-
One block for raw chicken, one block
vertical for beef.
-
What are you choosing today?
-
Considering my neighbor just died for
going for the beef, I'm just gonna go with
-
the chicken again.
-
Keep in mind, there's a ticket event today
-
It's gonna be about 200 blocks west.
-
This was huge news. If there actually was
a ticket event today, I would need to go
-
for the beef. Ticket events are usually
far away and I would starve by the time
-
I got there if I chose the chicken.
But luckily I got the beef.
-
No way, you made that jump?
You might become a parkour pro one day.
-
Wait, you really think I could rank up to
be a parkour pro?
-
Ha, not a chance. You're a parkour noob.
You guys never rank up.
-
It's important to know that parkour pros
have really big egos and they like to put
-
down the parkour noobs.
-
This was an important day. This was only
the second time I've jumped for the beef
-
and now, I have a chance to earn a ticket.
-
The ticket events are so risky because
they're located so far away.
-
If I wasn't paying attention, I could miss
just one of these one-block jumps and my
-
entire chances of becoming a parkour pro
would be over.
-
But luckily, I made it to the ticket event
-
When I got here, there were only three
parkour noobs in line to do the parkour
-
course. Most noobs don't even show up for
the courses anymore because if you miss
-
one jump, you end up like this guy.
-
And that's the price you pay if you want
a ticket to be a parkour pro.
-
I watched as the second noob fell to the
void.
-
Hey man, do you think you could go
already?
-
I don't know man, I'm kinda nervous I'm
gonna fall.
-
No, you don't need to be nervous.
I'm sure you're fine.
-
Oh, shoot... okay?
Never mind then.
-
Before going for it I wanted to study the
parkour course.
-
You see, every week, the ticket challenge
changes.
-
And it's completely random.
-
And this week's course was extremely
difficult.
-
There was a two-block jump to get to the
ticket and if you get it a two-block jump
-
to get out of it.
-
Here's the thing about parkour
civilization.
-
Parkour can be used for anything.
And that includes bribing parkour pros.
-
Check this out. If I do a parkour jump
with a 360 will you replace one of the
-
two-block jumps with a one-block jump?
-
You wanna do a one-block jump with a 360?
Fine. There's no way you're gonna make it
-
but I'll accept.
-
Let's go, the parkour pro accepted my
bribe and now I have another problem
-
I have to do a 360?
Have I even done this before?
-
Whatever, I'm just gonna go for it.
Please make it.
-
Oh, no way. I actually did it.
-
Alright, deal's a deal, right?
-
I'm not gonna lie, that was the coolest
thing I've seen a parkour noob do.
-
Well, deal's a deal. Here you go.
-
Let's go. Now there was only one
two-block jump in the course.
-
Still gotta make the first two-block
jump, noob.
-
Yeah yeah whatever, just let me do the
course, bro.
-
This was my best chance to finally earn a
ticket. If I actually get this ticket
-
I could access the parkour temple and make
my way up into a better life as a
-
parkour pro.
There was no turning back now.
-
I had to start the course.
-
Most parkour noobs aren't experienced with
diagonal jumps.
-
But somehow I got past it.
-
And now was the two-block jump.
This was life or death.
-
I closed my eyes and I went for it.
-
I expected to be falling thousands of feet
per second into the void but to my
-
surprise, I was standing on the platform
with the ticket.
-
And thanks to the deal I made with the
parkour pro, I only had a one-block jump
-
to get out of the course.
-
This was life changing. This was the first
time I've ever received a ticket to access
-
the parkour temple. And I promised myself
that I wasn't going to waste it.
