"I observed it."
Jiang Xuan greeted everyone and walked towards a nearby table.
"Perhaps because in this world, having spent a long time in the mines, you've become somewhat disconnected from the normal laws of the Teyvat material world."
Jiang Xuan sat down, looking at everyone with a smile.
Keqing opened her mouth, about to say something, but Jiang Xuan raised his hand.
"Don't be so quick to deny it."
"I understand that the unique nature of this world has been too impactful for you, and the consequence of this is that these unique features are deeply ingrained in your memory."
"So much so that, after spending a long time in this world, you will forget that the laws of this world are different from Teyvat."
"You've personally seen so many phenomena that would leave you dumbfounded, that you will absolutely develop the dangerous idea that these are not surprising, and that everything should be this way."
"Think carefullyā¦"
Jiang Xuan pointed profoundly at the ground beneath their feet.
"Can stones really grow out of thin air without any adeptal arts?"
"Should trees really grow normally after being chopped down?"
"Can a bucket of water really allow you to land unharmed, and even spread out so much?"
"Should all of this really be happening?"
Jiang Xuan's words echoed like an ancient bronze bell, resounding loudly.
This made Ningguang and the others somewhat alert.
They carefully recalled their actions during this period.
Although they still didn't understand many of the characteristics, butā¦
They had become skilled at building block platforms and proficient at mining with Vein Miner.
In fact, yesterday, when mining iron, Ningguang and the others felt they had mastered it perfectly.
Iron ore, they thought, should naturally be dug out with a single pickaxe.
And it should turn into top-grade iron ingots after a single burn in the furnace.
This phenomenon sent a chill down Ningguang and the others' spines.
Even Zhongli felt that his worldview, cultivated over six thousand years, was gradually collapsing.
Seeing that they seemed to have reacted, Jiang Xuan said softly:
"We often say, 'nothing strange under the sun,' 'used to it'ā¦ these phrases are actually a psychological defense mechanism."
"Just like now, you originally had a mature and stable worldview, but suddenly, I brought you to this world."
"In a short time, you witnessed countless unimaginable, strange world phenomena."
"There were too many of these phenomena, and you couldn't understand them. Moreover, because these phenomena kept coming one after another, you didn't have time to process them."
"So, your brain told you to abandon your original perceptions, first understand these phenomena, and get used to them."
"Therefore, you are not surprised when I casually throw blocks in the air now, and even find it normal."
Ningguang and the others didn't quite understand what Jiang Xuan was saying, but they could feel that what Jiang Xuan said was indeed the problem they were facing.
Because time was tight, Ningguang and the others didn't have much time to ponder the various unreasonable characteristics of this world.
They needed to utilize them, to master them.
So, they quickly familiarized themselves with these features.
This was a good thing, but only in the context of the MC world.
"I don't really support you staying in the MC world all the time, and I even suggest a rotation system for your miners."
"I was worried that you would come to view all phenomena in this world as normal, and then get injured by carrying those habits back to Teyvat."
"So, here, I'll ask again."
"Do you think these phenomena should really be happening?"
This time, Ganyu shook her head, asserting, "No!"
"That's not entirely right!"
Before Jiang Xuan could speak, Ningguang denied Ganyu's statement, saying seriously, "It should be said, not entirely!"
Meeting the somewhat bewildered expressions of the others, Ningguang looked at Jiang Xuan with full confidence.
"In this world, all of this should naturally happen; these are the laws of this world. However, in Teyvat, none of this is reasonable."
"What Jiang Xuan means is that even if we are completely familiar with these world characteristics, we must still maintain a sense of separation between Teyvat and this world."
"We must always remember what world we are in, and prioritize the laws of that world."
"This is the true mindset to maintain when exploring this wonderful world."
At this, everyone finally understood Jiang Xuan's fundamental meaning.
It wasn't that Jiang Xuan was exaggerating.
The MC world was no longer just a game; he and the others were physically there, gathering resources and exploring the unknown.
They were genuinely active there.
Everything wasn't like a game where you just clicked a mouse and typed on a keyboard, with low immersion.
What Jiang Xuan was truly worried about was that in the future, Ningguang and the others would become completely accustomed to the unique features of this world.
Things like water landing, boat landing, or dig three, fill one would be second nature.
It didn't matter in the MC world, but what if they were in Teyvat and brought their MC world habits with them?
Ningguang, adhering to the attitude of "unharmed with water," might leap from the hundreds of meters high Jade Chamber, freely plummeting towards the sea.
Then what?
This was what Jiang Xuan was truly worried about.
Confusing reality often leads to unexpected dangers.
So, Jiang Xuan wasn't doing something useless, but rather, at this early stage, when they hadn't become too familiar with MC yet,
He was giving them a safety fuse.
Of course, if it were just for this, Jiang Xuan wouldn't have bothered to call a small meeting for them.
Jiang Xuan smiled, his gaze gentle as he looked at Ningguang.
After a moment of silence, he said softly:
"Maintaining separation is just the most basic mindset to ensure safety."
"But if you only think about defense, don't blame others for invading you."
"What you should truly do is, after separation, and with a clear understanding in your heart, maintain unity between the characteristics of the two worlds."
These words once again stunned everyone, and even Ningguang was a bit bewildered, unable to grasp what Jiang Xuan truly meant.
The latter, somewhat helpless, snapped his fingers and pulled out many materials.
"For example."
Jiang Xuan pointed to the bucket of water in front of him.
"If you're falling from a high altitude in Teyvat and don't have a Wind Glider, what do you do? You can use this world's water landing technique!"
"Although water in your world doesn't have the concept of saving lives, water in this world does!"
"What if you encounter a dangerous enemy you can't defeat for now?"
"It's simple! Use stones to build up and jump! Even though stones are heavy."
"But, you must know, in Teyvat, the moment you take out a block from your spatial inventory, you can arrange its direction as you wish."
"What if Xiao encounters a powerful monster that's hard to contend with? Surround it with obsidian!"
"Hard obsidian can both ensure you're not harmed by attacks and trap the enemy."
"Later, if there's an enemy that can't be killed by force, you can simply deal with them with lava!"
"Lava in an iron bucket won't burn your hands!"
"Don't you really plan to utilize these unique features?"
Jiang Xuan spoke righteously, his gaze full of regret as he looked at everyone.
Until now, Jiang Xuan had only heard Xiao talk about utilizing the unique resources of this world.
Using lava's spreading ability to create defensive fortifications.
But, the idea was there, just too cautious!
Since they were going to utilize it, why not be bolder?
Osial is still sealed, right?
Go over there with obsidian and build a circle around him!
The hardness of obsidian, if it wasn't a god like Zhongli who controls the power of rock, would probably take ages to break.
However, since they've gone this far, why just contain him?
Osial, whom even the Geo Archon couldn't kill.
Just fill his sealing place with lava.
See if he dies or not.
If he can live perfectly fine, Jiang Xuan would personally go to Celestia and kick the Heavenly Principles off.
And support Osial to ascend to the Third Throne!
Wouldn't they even think of such simple applications?
Taking a step back, suddenly placing a few blocks in front of them to block an attack when fighting an enemy is also feasible!
Orā¦
Directly throwing obsidian on the spot, then tossing a TNT at the enemyā¦
Jiang Xuan felt somewhat disappointed by everyone's lack of creativity. They had already witnessed such outrageous world features.
Why couldn't they open their minds and come up with some shocking, bold ideas?
Without unleashing the wings of imagination, they would at most only follow Jiang Xuan's instructions step-by-step to build blocks.
But what Jiang Xuan wanted was for Ningguang and the others to use their imagination to create amazing items that would even refresh Jiang Xuan's understanding.
That would be a true MC pioneering team.
Jiang Xuan believed they had such potential, but 473, their ingrained impressions still needed to be broken.
This kind of thing takes time.
Everyone fell silent, and Jiang Xuan didn't disturb them.
He quietly got up and walked to the edge of the sky island.
He was currently thinking about how to fish up the villagers.
After all, the Mob Grinder and the Stone Generator were concentrated on the Sky Island, and the location for the Iron Golem Farm had already been reserved.
Naturally, the goal was to transform the Sky Island into a fully automated aerial industrial park.
Butā¦
How to get the villagers onto the Sky Island was an extremely difficult operation.
Suddenly, Jiang Xuan slapped his head.
"Damn it! I just told Ningguang and the others not to rigidify their thinking, and here I am doing the same!"
Jiang Xuan sighed helplessly.
When he was thinking about how to bring the villagers to the Sky Island, Jiang Xuan first thought of converting zombie villagers, but he immediately ruled that out due to resource waste.
After that, Jiang Xuan thought about fishing up the villagers, but the operability was too difficult.
But he completely failed to consider it at first.
World rules are static, and Steve has to follow the rules.
But he, Jiang Xuan, isn't Steve!
He's a normal person, flexible, much freer than Steve.
In that caseā¦
Why couldn't he just carry the villagers up?
"Jiang Xuan, we've figured it out!"
Ganyu and the others walked up behind Jiang Xuan, their faces somewhat relaxed.
"In future explorations, we will ensure that we can always distinguish between the two worlds, and we will also combine the unique features of both worlds to try more possibilities."
Ganyu's eyes were firm, and she clasped her fists lightly, saying softly:
"We will definitely be able to use our imagination to help you achieve more impossible things!"
Jiang Xuan turned around and nodded with a joyful expression.
"As for imagination, just keep that in mind. For now, I have something more important to ask of youā¦"
"Huh?"
Ganyu was a little stunned, tilting her head in confusion.
Jiang Xuan's gaze bypassed Ganyu and looked at Zhongli and Xiao.
"To be precise, I need Zhongli and Xiao to help me."
"Help meā¦ carry a few villagers up from below!"
