As Jiang Xuan delivered his final sword strike,
the villager who had tormented him for over half a year vanished into green smoke, filled with resentment.
Jiang Xuan put away his wooden sword and spat.
"You forced me to sleep on the ground! A village without even iron golems, what are you so arrogant about!"
The bitterness of half a year melted away in an instant, and Jiang Xuan felt a wave of joy, emanating from his soul, well up in his heart.
This village had no iron golems; Jiang Xuan had already figured that out beforehand.
Otherwise, Jiang Xuan wouldn't have dared to live here.
Although with iron golems around, there was no need to worry about zombies, skeletons, and the like.
But as the great Steve, how could he not kill villagers?
Jiang Xuan and the villagers would eventually come into conflict over the right to use houses and beds.
If Jiang Xuan, in a fit of anger, killed a villager, he wouldn't be able to withstand an iron golem's punch with his small body.
But now that he had killed this unlucky villager, Jiang Xuan could set about building an iron golem himself.
With his iron brother by his side, Jiang Xuan could sleep soundly.
He casually scavenged some carrots and potatoes from the nearby farmland, then turned around and planted the seeds.
It was a pleasing process, and clearly, Jiang Xuan was no stranger to "stealing crops" (a common term in Minecraft).
After dealing with all this, Jiang Xuan turned to look at Keqing and Ganyu.
The two still stared at him with blank expressions.
Jiang Xuan waved his hand, chuckling:
"You're here. Come with me quickly, we're going to build a house!"
Keqing and Ganyu exchanged glances. They stood back-to-back, one with a bow, one with a sword, wary of the remaining villagers.
"Jiang Xuan... even if you have a grudge, you can't be this reckless!"
Ganyu didn't blame Jiang Xuan for his casual attitude towards killing... people.
She only worried:
"What if you kill someone on their territory and get swarmed by the others? Besides, we still need to talk to the village chief here about buying land."
"This time, we've made enemies, haven't we?"
Seeing Ganyu's annoyed expression, Jiang Xuan found it amusing.
He pointed to the expressionless blocky people around them.
"These people... don't treat them as people. Their intelligence is very low; they can't be considered intelligent life. It's one of the magical points of this world, I suppose."
"Didn't I tell you? This world is a wild world."
"As for your talk of buying land..."
Jiang Xuan chuckled, then grandly waved his hand, pointing to the ground.
"Look around. Which spot do you like? We'll build a house right there. This, this is my world!"
Keqing and Ganyu exchanged glances, then cautiously said:
"So... is it really okay?"
Seeing Keqing like this, Jiang Xuan chuckled and shook his head.
He casually pulled out his wooden sword and gestured with it at a villager's neck beside him.
The latter remained expressionless, as if immersed in his own world.
Looking at the other villagers, they were still doing their own things.
But Ganyu and Keqing looked closely and found that these villagers seemed unconscious, merely wandering aimlessly around the village.
At this, they finally understood: this world truly and purely belonged to Jiang Xuan.
For some reason, Keqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is good too... No one will stop us from developing this land."
"Jiang Xuan, can you grant me a piece of land? I want to test out the city-building project of Guili Plains."
Jiang Xuan put away his wooden sword, turned, and motioned for Keqing and Ganyu to follow.
"Go practice wherever you like, but this world is also very dangerous, so don't stray too far from me initially."
"Your strength, I estimate, won't be of much use here."
"Let's go, let's go see our new home."
Although this village was small, some of its houses were quite good.
The house of the villager Jiang Xuan had just killed, if transported to Teyvat, would at least be a village chief's mansion.
After all, it was the only small two-story house in the village with bookshelves.
It would also be convenient for making an enchantment table later.
Of course, as a mature blocky person, after occupying this house,
Jiang Xuan's first thought was to dig an artificial mine shaft in the ground, and then build a basement to store treasure.
Then, he would build an aerial platform.
On the platform, he'd build a cobblestone generator, a mob farm, an automatic mining machine...
Thinking this, Jiang Xuan realized he had a lot to do.
The most urgent task...
First, claim a bed, then talk!
He continued deeper into the village with Keqing and Ganyu.
The two gradually understood what Jiang Xuan meant by the "strangeness" of this world.
Besides the pleasant scenery...
Villagers were blocks, houses were blocks, trees were blocks...
Even pigs, cows, and chickens were blocks!
Even more absurdly, killing animals here would directly drop meat of excellent quality.
Moreover, after Keqing weighed it, she found the quantity was quite substantial; it felt heavy in her hands.
This was another major discovery.
At the very least, the meat supply for Liyue's citizens could be solved once and for all.
The village wasn't large. Besides the five minutes wasted on killing chickens, it only took two minutes to reach the end, arriving at the former villager's, now Jiang Xuan's, house.
It was the only house in the village that wasn't perfectly square.
At least it had a pointed roof.
Built entirely of wood, it clearly wasn't very fire-resistant.
Jiang Xuan had also said not to light fires in the house.
In less than three minutes, the house could be reduced to nothing.
Pushing open the wooden door, Jiang Xuan entered with Keqing and Ganyu.
The first thing that met their eyes was a large table and four chairs.
Hmm...
Square.
Many torches were stuck on the walls. Strangely, these torches, which emitted light and heat,
didn't ignite the walls they were attached to.
Furthermore, burning didn't even affect the lifespan of the torches.
Even if Ganyu covered them with Cryo Element, and the torches fell, they would burn again when picked up!
"Torches that never go out, and never consume material by burning objects?"
Keqing's expression was somewhat grave.
"This kind of thing actually exists? It's too important! We must find a way to produce this!"
A torch that would never consume wood or go out.
It could do so many things.
Jiang Xuan smiled. This is just a torch. When they get a redstone torch, won't they be even more shocked?
Not to mention, later, when all sorts of mods are activated,
like acceleration torches, forbidden torches...
If placed in Teyvat, those would all be things that defy convention.
Simply put, it's anti-Newtonian mechanics technology.
"Jiang Xuan, there's a crafting table here!"
Keqing curiously touched the crafting table beside her. Next to the crafting table, there was also an anvil.
This was also why Jiang Xuan chose this room.
Rich!
Too rich.
He couldn't even find four iron ingots in the whole village, yet this prominent family actually had an anvil.
Even for Jiang Xuan, who now had Steve's physique, the presence of an anvil
saved him a lot of time.
The iron he dug up from the mines could also be used to craft tools and iron armor.
Don't look at how in the game, the first thing you do after digging up iron is make tools. If I were in the MC world,
I'd definitely prioritize survival.
Jiang Xuan didn't want to test if he could revive in a bed.
He thought that his world leaned more towards hardcore mode.
One life to win.
"Keqing, Ganyu, don't look anymore, come up here for a moment."
Jiang Xuan had run up to the second floor at some point.
Many bookshelves hung on the walls, but the books inside couldn't be taken out.
Besides that, there was just a small chest and a bed, very simple.
Even Ganyu's cave dwelling in Cloud Retainer's abode had more furniture than this.
Keqing and Ganyu quickly went upstairs.
It looked a bit more normal here, of course, except for the unextinguishable torches on the wall.
"Jiang Xuan, where do we start exploring?"
Keqing eagerly clenched her fists.
"This world is too amazing. I need to understand it simply, and then I can plan how to deal with it."
Jiang Xuan smiled, pointing to the only bed:
"Let's start from here!"
"???"
