Farming?
And farming underground in a mine?
Keqing and Ganyu were stunned by Jiang Xuan's words.
They originally wanted to say there was no sunlight, no water, and no one to tend to it, so farming wouldn't work.
But then they remembered, this world wasn't normal.
So, they remained silent.
"Going into the mine definitely requires a lot of food."
"If we bring food from outside, we definitely can't carry much. After we eat it, we'd have to go back up to get more. That's too much wasted time going back and forth."
"So, when I go into the mine, I must build a farm and ranch in the mine, for farming and breeding. That way, we can be self-sufficient in food."
Jiang Xuan spoke frankly. After all, this was a skill every miner needed.
Every experienced miner had to treat the mine as their home.
Treat every descent into the mine as a secluded cultivation.
Naturally, they had to ensure they had enough food and clothing.
It's just that this time, Jiang Xuan didn't bring an iron bucket for water, nor did he dig up any dirt.
Otherwise, Jiang Xuan would have already set up his primary farm.
He wasn't short on seeds. After all, he often stole... borrowed from his good friends' vegetable gardens.
But the seeds were all in the chest at home.
"I don't know why, but now, hearing Jiang Xuan talk about these fantastical things, I just feel like it's all perfectly normal."
Keqing mumbled to Ganyu.
"Even if Jiang Xuan told me he could grow Qingxin flowers in the sea, I'd still think it was perfectly normal!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan and Ganyu exchanged smiles.
Growing Qingxin flowers in the sea would be difficult. After all, there were no Qingxin flowers in this world.
But farming in the sea...
Jiang Xuan could really do it!
Before transmigrating, when he was bored, Jiang Xuan even started a new save file.
He used sponges to dry up the seawater and farmed.
Although...
It was only a small patch. After all, how big the MC world was, no one knew for sure before Jiang Xuan transmigrated.
As for the hardcore operation of sponges absorbing seawater, it wasn't unheard of.
Never underestimate an MC player who is bored stiff.
As far as Jiang Xuan knew, many other big players, when bored, would start new save files and vow to dig up every single block.
"Alright, the iron ore should be smelted. Let's go get it, then head back to the village to rest."
"Make some necessary preparations, then we'll return to Teyvat."
Hearing this, Keqing was somewhat resistant, muttering:
"Are we going back so soon? I still have many questions unresolved, and I want to gather more resources to bring back."
Jiang Xuan spread his hands, looking at Keqing with some helplessness.
"My Lady Keqing, you are the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. Aren't you going to do Liyue's business? You can come find me here whenever you want."
"Besides, I'm still waiting for you to go back and hold a meeting, to quickly bring people to support me in cultivating the world."
Perhaps it was the phrase "My Lady Keqing" that made Keqing a little shy.
Or perhaps it was because she was so engrossed in this world that she almost forgot Liyue, which made Keqing a bit embarrassed.
Anyway, in that instant, Keqing's face instantly turned bright red.
After stammering for a long while, she lowered her head and walked past Jiang Xuan towards the furnace area.
"Did I say something harsh?"
Jiang Xuan looked at Ganyu with some embarrassment. Ganyu pursed her lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but after a moment's hesitation, she shook her head again and remained silent.
"Alright..."
Jiang Xuan shrugged.
He quickly caught up with Keqing.
This time, Jiang Xuan didn't put away the iron ingots himself, but instead guided Keqing and Ganyu on how to use the furnace.
Soon, all the iron ingots were retrieved.
Finally, a tally.
Jiang Xuan, Ganyu, and Keqing had dug a total of forty-six iron ingots.
A great harvest!
But to say it was exceptionally great, not really.
It was just five iron blocks.
Making an iron golem still required four iron blocks.
These iron ingots were barely enough.
He simply gathered these materials.
Today, going into the mine.
After deducting the coal used for crafting torches, there were exactly three stacks left. He gave one stack each to Keqing and Ganyu.
He kept one stack for himself, which was enough. Anyway, it wasn't that precious. His villager buddies had lava at their homes, so coal wasn't very important.
Jiang Xuan had originally made more than two stacks of torches. He kept one stack, and the rest were placed in the mine.
Forty-six iron ore. Jiang Xuan had to keep these. He had urgent use for them.
He could give Keqing and the others some other blocks.
As for the stones and other materials harvested this time...
Countless.
It was also a fruitful trip.
He walked out of the mine with Keqing and Ganyu, chatting and laughing.
As soon as he stepped out, Jiang Xuan's face darkened.
Outside, the bright moon hung high, and the forest under the cold moonlight possessed a mysterious and dangerous beauty.
Faint sounds of insects and birds chirped in the forest.
The distant village lights flickered faintly.
Listening carefully, there was also the gurgling sound of a small stream. As for the scenery, it was a nice place for admiring the night.
But...
The danger level of the MC world at night was much higher than during the day.
At least, for a year, Jiang Xuan had never gone out at night.
Not even at the most critical moment of chopping trees.
As soon as he saw the sun setting and casting its afterglow, Jiang Xuan would charge towards the villager's house without a second thought.
This was his first time seeing the MC jungle at night.
It was indeed beautiful... my ass!
As far as Jiang Xuan could see, there were four zombies and three skeletons at the edge of the jungle.
Three or four spiders were clinging to the trees, and not far away, there was the characteristic slimy bouncing sound of slimes.
The most fatal thing was...
That hissing sound.
That was clearly a Creeper!
Wasn't this just a monster mash-up?
Fortunately, Jiang Xuan now had the Steve template, plus firearms and his drawing sword, so he could confidently say he could wreak havoc.
Provided he wasn't with Keqing and Ganyu.
Sighing inwardly, Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice:
"Keqing, Ganyu, listen to me."
Hearing Jiang Xuan's serious tone, Keqing and Ganyu immediately became nervous.
But their excellent combat training made them instantly quiet.
"Do you remember the way home?"
Jiang Xuan asked softly, his peripheral vision already seeing a zombie slowly walking towards them.
Hmm...
It was still holding an iron shovel...
"Jiang Xuan..."
Ganyu immediately knew what Jiang Xuan was going to do and anxiously grabbed him.
"I... we can't leave you..."
"It's alright, listen to me. In this world, I know better than any of you how to survive."
Jiang Xuan felt a little melancholic.
If it weren't for the need to wait a certain amount of time to activate the dual-world gate, Jiang Xuan would have opened the gate and sent them away immediately.
However, if he gambled, Jiang Xuan was confident he could attract all the monsters, and then take the opportunity to push an achievement mission.
"When I say run, you immediately run home without looking back, and then just wait for me."
"I'll be back soon."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xuan paused. He felt like he was setting a flag for himself, which wasn't a good omen.
Seeing Keqing and Ganyu still wanting to say something.
Jiang Xuan took out his shield, his gaze fixed on the first approaching zombie.
"Jiang Xuan..."
Ganyu still wanted to say something, but Keqing pulled her back.
Keqing shook her head, signaling Ganyu to listen to Jiang Xuan.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan also let go of his last worry.
Keqing and Ganyu might be greatly weakened in this world, with weak combat power.
But...
With one Lightning Stiletto and one Raincutter, their escape ability was definitely first-class.
Gathering his thoughts, Jiang Xuan stared silently at the approaching zombie.
When the zombie entered within three meters, Jiang Xuan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Run!"
As his words fell, Keqing immediately grabbed Ganyu and used Lightning Stiletto to dash two blocks away.
Jiang Xuan, meanwhile, drew his Drawing Sword, and with a downward slash, struck down the zombie.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuan was also somewhat surprised.
"As expected of Yamato... If I refine it further, wouldn't it be a one-shot kill for the Wither?"
However, this loud shout also attracted the attention of other monsters.
The trees in the forest rustled. A large group of monsters swarmed out and charged at Jiang Xuan.
Not far away, a skeleton drew its bow and aimed at Jiang Xuan.
Ganyu, who had run out of the monster encirclement, looked back and her eyes immediately turned red with fright.
"Jiang Xuan!"
"Bang!"
A clap of thunder sounded. Jiang Xuan, with an AK47 in his left hand and Yamato in his right, easily shot down the skeleton aiming at him.
He chuckled and waved his firearm.
Looking at the two skeletons still mechanically aiming not far away, he casually shot them down again.
"Did you think I couldn't fight long-range just because I don't have a bow?"
"Silly, I've got a gun!"
