Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Newtonian and Anti-Newtonian Mechanics in the MC World

Perhaps Jiang Xuan's words were too ambiguous.

Keqing and Ganyu instantly blushed deeply.

Seeing their reaction, Jiang Xuan also understood that he had probably said the wrong thing.

He quickly waved his hand:

"No, I didn't mean that. I mean, beds are very important in this world!"

"You'll understand once you lie down."

Ganyu breathed a sigh of relief. Having known Jiang Xuan for so long, she understood that he wasn't a frivolous person.

She was willing to believe Jiang Xuan.

However, looking at the bed, which was clearly a single bed,

Ganyu looked a bit troubled:

"Jiang Xuan, are we all going to sleep on this bed?"

Jiang Xuan spread his hands, smiling.

"This bed isn't for sleeping. Lying on it allows you to restore your spirit and vitality to their peak."

"For us, who are developing this new land, its importance is very high."

Saying this, Jiang Xuan looked at the bed, paused for a moment, then eagerly ran out.

"Wait for me. I'm going to take apart two more beds!"

Beds required wool to craft, and there were no sheep in the village.

But the villagers, his good brothers, had ready-made beds!

A veteran Steve, upon encountering a village, who would still craft their own bed?

Just borrow two.

Anyway, his good brothers could go their entire lives without sleeping.

Looking at Jiang Xuan's back, Keqing felt somewhat helpless.

"I always feel that Jiang Xuan, having come to this world, is like a horse let loose."

Ganyu pursed her lips and smiled, then tried the bed.

It was still soft. She quite liked it.

"After all, it's Jiang Xuan's world. It's like he's come home, right? Lady Keqing, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Keqing paused, then also sat on the bed.

She glanced sideways at the bizarre, blocky continent outside the simple glass window.

For a moment, she, who was always decisive, felt somewhat lost.

"I always feel it's unreal... Everything here is too..."

"Fantasy?"

Ganyu offered, and Keqing nodded.

"Exactly, it's like an imaginary place that shouldn't exist. Unextinguishable torches, leaves floating in the air, everything is blocky..."

Ganyu asked in return.

"But it truly exists, doesn't it? Lady Keqing, are you worried that Jiang Xuan might be detrimental to Liyue?"

Keqing decisively shook her head.

"No, I don't think so. It's not because Jiang Xuan is my friend and confidant. After a year of acquaintance, I can see through Jiang Xuan."

"He's a... very good person. And towards Liyue, he seems to have a lot of goodwill."

"Otherwise, with this world, Jiang Xuan could have completely overthrown everything in Teyvat a year ago."

Ganyu nodded in agreement.

This was why she and Keqing liked to come to Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan seemed to understand them very well, and his ideas were imaginative.

Whether it was Keqing's confusion about human governance or Ganyu's uncertainty about her own identity,

Jiang Xuan could always explain things to them in a joking manner.

Therefore, Keqing and Ganyu had always wanted to bring Jiang Xuan, this person whose thoughts were so different from others, back to Liyue Harbor.

But unfortunately, Jiang Xuan had always refused.

"Lady Keqing, what about your plan?"

Ganyu asked softly.

Keqing shook her head.

"Call me Keqing. As for the plan... this world still exceeds my imagination. Let's see how Jiang Xuan plans it."

"We also don't have the right to override Jiang Xuan in dealing with this world."

Ganyu covered her mouth and chuckled softly:

"So... now, we just need to act as friends and complete his preliminary planning with Jiang Xuan?"

"Exactly!"

Keqing nodded seriously, then pointed to the torches on the wall:

"But I still want to take this magical torch and the crafting table downstairs."

"For Liyue, these things are too useful."

As soon as her words fell, the wooden door was pushed open again.

Keqing and Ganyu immediately drew their weapons, looking warily downstairs.

Seeing Jiang Xuan return, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuan quickly walked upstairs to the second floor.

He found a good spot and decisively placed the bed.

Seeing this casual placement of furniture, Keqing and Ganyu were somewhat used to it.

However, Ganyu was still curious:

"Jiang Xuan, where did you get the beds?"

Jiang Xuan chuckled.

"A good brother gave them to me!"

"A friend's gift?"

Ganyu nodded gently, and softly said:

"Then we should thank him properly."

Jiang Xuan felt a bit awkward and argued:

"It's fine. I've already thanked them for you. My good brother is very happy to help me."

How could he not be happy?

To prevent his good brother from having no bed to sleep in and him breaking into his base,

Jiang Xuan had to "sacrifice Ma Su with tears" (a Chinese idiom meaning to take tough action for the greater good, even if it hurts).

Two good brothers had gone down the same path as the original villager.

"Jiang Xuan, what are we doing next?"

Having arrived in a completely unfamiliar alien world, Keqing also relaxed.

Lying on the bed, she looked at Jiang Xuan with curious, tilted head.

"Next, huh?"

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, then said with a serious expression:

"Remember my words, Keqing, Ganyu. In this world, there's an ancient saying."

"To get rich, first chop trees, then mine in three-by-three tunnels!"

Seeing Jiang Xuan's serious expression, Keqing and Ganyu repeated the phrase, nodding seriously.

"We remember!"

Jiang Xuan smiled broadly, waved his hand, and said:

"Let's go. Next, I'll first craft some tools for you, and then we'll go check out the mine."

"Oh right, come with me, I'll teach you some simple crafting recipes."

Saying this, Jiang Xuan jumped directly down from the second floor.

The moment he landed, he felt a bit of pain in his feet.

Jiang Xuan's face flushed with awkwardness.

Having been with Keqing and Ganyu all this time, he forgot that he had arrived in the MC world.

An unreasonable world that defied Newton, defied gravity, defied elemental forces.

This fall cost him half a heart.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan's hunger bar was full, so he would recover quickly.

However, this also served as a reminder to him.

In Teyvat, with his physique, he wouldn't die even if he bungee jumped without a rope from Celestia.

But not in the MC world.

Falling from a high altitude, even for the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles, if she dared to bungee jump without a rope from a high altitude in the MC world, it would be a dead end.

Hmm...

Unreasonably indiscriminate.

Even the physical laws in this regard were extremely strict.

Jiang Xuan was about to call out to Ganyu and the others to be careful, but then his vision suddenly darkened.

Ganyu also jumped down after Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan was greatly alarmed.

His physique could withstand a fall, but Ganyu and the others might not.

This was the MC world.

Anti-Newtonian, yet in some ways, extremely Newtonian.

Jiang Xuan quickly rushed to Ganyu's side and shouted.

"Don't jump!"

These words were meant for Keqing.

Keqing did brake, but Ganyu was already in the air.

Jiang Xuan had no choice but to predict Ganyu's position and run below to catch her.

A familiar faint pain struck again.

Hmm...

Lost another half a heart.

Reasonable. After all, there's fall damage from objects thrown from high places.

"Ganyu, are you alright?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at Ganyu on him, somewhat worried, and didn't bother with the soft sensation.

Ganyu's face was flushed, and she said shyly:

"Jiang Xuan... no... no need to worry about me like that. It's only a few meters, I won't get hurt."

Keqing looked at Jiang Xuan with a strange gaze, and mumbled:

"Even if you like Ganyu, you don't need to be like that, right? Ganyu is an Adeptus who fought alongside the Geo Archon in the Archon War..."

Instantly, Ganyu whimpered and lowered her head.

"What are you talking about!"

Jiang Xuan sighed, his expression turning serious.

"Don't take what I say lightly. This world is very unreasonable, but also excessively reasonable."

"Falling from a high altitude, a drop of more than three blocks, will definitely cause injury, whether you are the Geo Archon or an ordinary person."

"Under the laws here, everyone is treated equally. Falling from a high altitude will definitely cause injury! It concerns your life, so be careful!"
