This time, after Xiao cut down the blocks, Ningguang didn't feel comfortable saying they should be sent directly to the Qixing. After all, these were Jiang Xuan's resources. She could only ask Xiao to help move them to the courtyard.
Although Keqing had said that wood was extremely worthless in that world, found everywhere, since he hadn't given it to them, they couldn't just take it for granted.
Entering, they found Jiang Xuan indeed absent. Only a note, held down by a torch, lay on the table. It simply stated that Jiang Xuan had gone to build his base today and would return in the evening.
So, everyone took their seats. After all, it was Keqing's residence, and Keqing had the right to entertain everyone.
Looking at the sunset outside the window, Ningguang softly said, "How about I have some food sent over? We can eat and chat tonight?"
Zhongli nodded slightly, saying nothing. At this moment, under Keqing's introduction, he was becoming familiar with the strange workbench in front of them.
Just now, Keqing had thrown a Birch Blocks into it, and it instantly decomposed into four excellent birch planks.
After more tinkering, she made wooden doors, wooden swords, wooden axes, and so on. Incidentally, she also made one of those torches that wouldn't go out in front of them.
This sparked Zhongli's curiosity. He also elevated the importance of that world in his mind. Such miraculous operations were simply beyond common sense.
As long as one could obtain blocks, one could create wondrous items without spending any time. This saved a lot of manpower and resources.
In terms of convenience alone, it was enough to spark a technological revolution in Teyvat.
Keqing flipped through her crafting notebook, continuously throwing in wood to make tools. Ningguang watched, feeling a pang of heartache.
Those were excellent timber, they were Mora! A single plank could be processed into many more pieces of furniture for sale.
Yet, Keqing was lavishly using several planks to craft tools. Too wasteful! Did making an axe really require three excellent planks? No wonder the tools were heavy. The crafting process itself was wasteful, so how could they not be heavy?
However, Ningguang was still very interested in Keqing's crafting notebook. Although this method was wasteful, it was fast in making things,
and the quality was incredibly good. "Keqing, could I copy a few copies of this crafting notebook?" Seeing Keqing about to continue crafting, Ningguang quickly stopped her and asked.
"Crafting notebook?" Keqing looked at the scroll in her hand, then nodded. "No problem. For our cooperation, Jiang Xuan also wanted me to spread these crafting formulas."
"But I've only memorized a very small portion right now. Jiang Xuan said I haven't even finished memorizing one percent."
"There are also other special block combinations that can be used to build even more amazing things."
After saying a lot, Keqing noticed her old habit acting up again and quickly handed the crafting notebook to Ningguang.
"You can have someone copy it first, but it's best to be quick. Tomorrow, Jiang Xuan and I will continue to go to that world to record more crafting formulas."
As soon as her words fell, mystical light points flickered in the living room. "Lord Geo Archon, be careful!" Xiao's face changed, and his Primordial Jade Winged-Spear instantly appeared in his hand, blocking in front of everyone.
"Yaksha, Conqueror of Demons, don't be nervous," Ganyu quickly said.
"Jiang Xuan is back. Quickly put away your weapon!" Hearing this, Xiao first glanced at Zhongli, and only after the latter nodded slightly did he put away his weapon and stand behind him again.
Soon, a glowing gate appeared before everyone. Through the faintly visible images, everyone saw the somewhat blurry block world within the gate.
"Phew... I'm exhausted..." Jiang Xuan, carrying his pickaxe, returned to Teyvat through the gate, his face filled with fatigue.
He looked up and saw a group of people standing before him. At the very front was the man from the Seven Archons statue, and his little follower, Xiao. Jiang Xuan was startled for a moment, but he wasn't nervous.
He casually put away his pickaxe and smiled, "Quite a few guests have come... My apologies, have you been waiting long?"
"Jiang Xuan!" Ganyu called out in surprise, instantly moving past everyone and rushing to Jiang Xuan. Less than fifty centimeters from him, Ganyu suddenly remembered the crowd and quickly halted her steps.
"Jiang Xuan, you've worked hard today. How was it over there?" Hearing this, Jiang Xuan smiled and spread his hands. "Over there? It's pretty good. I did a bit of remodeling on the house today, so you'll have your own rooms next time you visit."
"By the way, did your meeting and discussion yield results so quickly? I thought it would take three or four days." Ganyu lowered her voice, her gaze drifting behind her.
"It was the Geo Archon... The Geo Archon highly values your cooperation invitation and personally came to finalize the cooperation."
"So, we handled it as a special case and rushed to find you." Jiang Xuan also followed Ganyu's gaze and looked at Zhongli.
Although a hooded robe concealed his face with divine power, Jiang Xuan still instantly saw Zhongli's face behind the divine power.
He smiled and waved. "Hello, Rex Lapis. And Miss Ningguang... It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. I am Jiang Xuan."
Zhongli nodded slightly. This was his first time closely observing Jiang Xuan. He was quite handsome and pure-looking.
Just by his appearance, there was nothing particularly special about him. The only thing to say was that his eyes were very bright.
If Zhongli hadn't been able to see the power surging within Jiang Xuan's body like a god of creation, he probably would have thought he was just a harmless, sunny boy.
"Mr. Jiang Xuan, forgive our intrusion, Yuheng and the others have told us about your cooperation invitation."
"From a universally rational perspective, Liyue has no reason to refuse." "Therefore, we are here to sign a specific contract." Jiang Xuan's heart stirred, and he was about to say something.
Ganyu, however, pouted slightly in dissatisfaction. "Lord Geo Archon! Jiang Xuan has worked hard all day. He hasn't even rested or had a drink of water yet. There's no need to be so rushed, is there?"
Hearing this, Zhongli's expression was a little strange. He felt as if his daughter, whom he had watched grow up, was about to go to someone else's vegetable garden. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Ningguang chuckled softly, stepping forward to mediate. "I've already sent someone to buy food. Liyue has a custom of discussing business over dinner.
How about we discuss the specifics while we eat later?" Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he nodded. "No problem! I haven't really tasted Liyue's specialties since I came to Teyvat."
"Don't laugh at me, I basically just roast meat and find some fruit to eat in that world every day. Now, I'm truly a bit greedy."
Hearing this, Ningguang covered her mouth and chuckled, exuding nobility. "Then it seems Liyue has been remiss in its hospitality.
Don't worry, Mr. Jiang Xuan, since you are our partner, Liyue will naturally not neglect your appetite."
Jiang Xuan rather liked talking to smart and generous women like Ningguang; at least it felt like a breath of fresh air. He immediately smiled and nodded.
"Just call me Jiang Xuan. I'm so young, I don't want to be called 'Mister' yet..." "You all sit for a bit. I'm going to wash up. Tsk... I've been fishing all afternoon, and I smell awful." Saying this, Jiang Xuan turned and walked into the house.
Bringing up fishing, Jiang Xuan felt a bit annoyed. Why could everyone else fish up enchanted books? When it was his turn, it was always crucian carp or bows with red durability? This was more frustrating than going home empty-handed!
