"How could... there be such a bizarre world!" Keqing looked back at the height of the second floor, exactly four blocks high. Instantly, Keqing felt a chill run down her spine. Although falling might not result in death, if she got injured and couldn't go out to explore, that would be a huge loss.
Ganyu also felt a bit self-reproachful. "I'm sorry, Jiang Xuan, I was careless. How are you?" Hearing this, Keqing also hurried over, looking at Jiang Xuan nervously. The latter waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, my physique is special. As long as it's not an instant death, I can recover quickly."
"So... you really are injured?" Ganyu's large eyes suddenly filled with tears. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Seeing Ganyu's sad expression, Jiang Xuan patted Ganyu's head and smiled, "It's okay, I didn't tell you beforehand, so don't worry."
"Moreover, Ganyu also gave me a huge benefit, holding a Qilin in my arms. I bet countless people in Liyue Harbor wouldn't even dare to dream of doing that, right?" Instantly, Ganyu burst out laughing again. Her face radiant, her large eyes curved into crescent moons, lovely yet charming. Jiang Xuan, having seen many such beautiful sights, merely glanced in admiration, then retracted his gaze.
He released Ganyu and said, "I'll synthesize some things for you first. You can also take a look." With that, he turned and walked to the workbench. He casually took out a pile of wooden sticks and planks. "To develop this world, what's most needed are tools. First, an axe for chopping trees."
"Three planks, two sticks. This is how to synthesize a wooden axe. For axes of other materials, you just need to replace the planks."
"Then, pickaxes, essential for mining. So, we need to bring several sets. The synthesis method is..." Next, Jiang Xuan briefly introduced Ganyu and Keqing to the synthesis recipes for common tools. Keqing, pulling out paper and pen from who knows where, meticulously began to record them.
"And then... it's weapons and shields." Jiang Xuan took out three iron ingots, a hint of emotion in his voice. In the past year, he had only managed to scavenge three iron ingots. And even those were from his good brother's house, or more precisely, from his good brother who lived in a furnace house with lava.
"For swords, one stick and two planks. Similarly, replacing the planks with other materials gives you swords of those materials."
"As for shields, the hard requirement is six planks and one iron ingot. The placement order is like this. Don't get it wrong." Jiang Xuan ultimately gave up on his plan to craft an iron sword and shield for himself. He wasn't heartless, only caring about his own survival. If he had to say, even Zhongli might not be as good at surviving in this world as he was. Keqing and Ganyu had come with him; it wouldn't make sense to leave them in danger.
The two also noticed Jiang Xuan's reluctance when placing the iron ingots, but they didn't say much. They just secretly made a note, planning to help him find more of this material. Having organized a large pile of tools, Jiang Xuan handed them to Keqing and Ganyu, "Try them. They can't compare to your weapons, but they should be decent." After all, their weight alone meant that even just swinging them could easily kill Hilichurls.
Keqing and Ganyu exchanged glances, eagerly taking the shields from Jiang Xuan's hand. Ganyu was fine, just a little strained, clenching her teeth as she held them. But Keqing didn't have Ganyu's strength. With a clank, the shield fell to the ground. Keqing looked somewhat incredulous, then laboriously swung the sword in her hand.
"This... it's too heavy, isn't it? This sword must weigh at least four or five hundred kilograms..." "And this shield... it must be over a ton, right?" "Jiang Xuan, your strength is amazing..." Keqing, though somewhat disappointed, still looked at Ganyu and Jiang Xuan with envy.
However, Jiang Xuan fell into contemplation. To be honest, this was his oversight. The items in the Minecraft world were good. But the most important point to consider was... they were too heavy! He saw Steve carrying so many things without issue, but who was Steve? The God of Strength!
Keqing being unable to lift the shield meant that chopping trees and mining would also be difficult. It would even directly affect the synthesis of tools... This wouldn't do. Without help, Jiang Xuan alone couldn't handle such a large world. "System, is there any way to solve this?" Jiang Xuan asked mentally.
The system was silent for a moment, then suddenly sounded. "Ding, Physique Synchronization function activated. In the MC world, the host's selected teammates can share a portion of Steve's physique. Note: Only effective in the MC world." Hearing this, Jiang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He selected Ganyu and Keqing as teammates, but secretly cursed, "System, you're not playing fair. This is clearly your bug, and you're just glossing over it so lightly?"
"Other systems, when they have bugs, don't they offer some compensation?" Unfortunately, no matter how much Jiang Xuan complained mentally, the system remained stubbornly silent. Jiang Xuan could only mentally curse it as idiotic and give up.
Composing himself, Jiang Xuan smiled at Keqing. "Try again. I've temporarily bound your physique to mine. You should have a portion of my strength." Jiang Xuan's words were almost redundant. The moment the binding was complete, Keqing and Ganyu gasped in surprise, looking at their hands in disbelief.
"So... so much power..." Keqing looked at Jiang Xuan in shock. "I feel like, right now, with just brute force, I could directly smash the Jade Chamber!" "Jiang Xuan! Are you really that powerful? So, that huge crater really was made by you!" Jiang Xuan spread his hands and smiled, "I told you, but you didn't believe me!"
"But this power is too extraordinary... Even Rex Lapis might not be as strong as I am now..." Ganyu still couldn't comprehend. The wooden sword she had struggled to swing earlier could now be wielded with flourish. Jiang Xuan couldn't help but marvel. Who said Ganyu's sword skills were bad? Having lived for thousands of years, how could her sword skills be bad? She was already brandishing sword flowers.
However, Jiang Xuan didn't feel any envy. He wasn't interested in learning swordplay. The sword skills of the katana were enough for him. Other times... brute force conquers all! Possessing Steve's physique, Jiang Xuan dared to proudly declare that no one in Teyvat could withstand one of his punches!
Why learn swordplay then? Just beat the masters with wild punches! Never mind your Vision, your Gnosis. One punch from him would be colder than a Dragonspine Spear. Could you withstand it? Since no one could withstand one punch, then martial arts, swordplay... trivial matters!
"Is this just a portion of your power? It's incredible!" Keqing shook her head. Even though her worldview had been severely shattered today, she still found it somewhat hard to accept.
"My physique is special, you see!" Jiang Xuan waved his hand, smiling. "Try it. You should be able to pick up these things now, right?" Keqing nodded confidently. "No problem! Absolutely no problem!" With that, Keqing casually picked up the shield and wooden sword and swung them a few times. They whistled through the air. In Teyvat, she would probably be creating storms.
"Now, we can explore the world!" Jiang Xuan laughed heartily, pushed open the door, and greeted the morning sun, saying softly, "Of course... a new world..." "It's my world, and it will be your world..."
