Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Real Diamond

In the MC world, time passes silently.

Three weeks passed quickly.

During these three weeks, Jack only did one thing: farming!

In the first week, he expanded from 20 plots of land to 80 plots, harvesting wheat four times a week, with a total value of nearly 10,000 world coins.

There are 80 plots of land, totaling 6,400 square meters, which is close to 10 acres.

It would take a lot of time for him and Keqing to harvest and sow alone.

Therefore, the rate of expansion of cultivated land has come to a halt.

At the end of the third week, Jack exchanged the money he had saved for 1 Eye of God and 2 teleportation anchors.

Perhaps because he had been dealing with farmland for the past few weeks, Jack awakened not the expected rock attribute, but the vibrant grass attribute.

[Role: Jack]

Level 45

[God's Eye: Grass]

This is the change in Jack's character panel after he obtained the Eye of God.

It only has the attribute of Eye of God, but lacks other elemental combat skills, elemental burst and constellation.

To Jack, it felt more like opening an accessories slot for the MC character.

Then he gained abilities related to the concept of "grass element", and he had to develop the specific combat skills and bursts himself.

The character level in it is slightly different from Keqing's. It is his own level in MC. The experience of upgrading is obtained through mining, smelting, harvesting and other behaviors. And when repairing enchanted items with iron felt, the system prompts him not to consume character experience, but to provide the enchantment bottle.

So, Jack made use of the infinite bow, stacking a bunch of enchantment attributes here and there, and finally combined it into a magical bow with strength IV, durability III, impact II and infinity.

As for Fire Arrows, after gaining the Grass Elemental ability, this enchantment would actually reduce the arrow damage, so we gave up adding it.

...

After completing the goals of farmland expansion and the Eye of God, Jack and Keqing began their boring life in the mines.

After several days of hard work, the two had explored a depth of more than 10km in the mine in the back mountain.

Early this morning.

Jack and Keqing, wearing iron sleeves, continued digging along the same mine as last time.

It may be that the version of Jack's MC world is relatively high, and it has the function of hiding the appearance of equipment.

Therefore, although both of them appear to be wearing ordinary clothes, they actually have iron-like protection.

However, although it is for protection, it actually does not affect either physical contact or perception of the environment. It is truly black technology.

"Jack, do you feel that the temperature around you has increased?"

"Really? I don't feel anything."

Jack thought for a moment, raised his hand, and a green fluorescent light bloomed as he explained.

"It's probably because of the grass element that makes me so sensitive to fire. If I'm not mistaken, this place shouldn't be far from the lava."

"Lava?! You mean..."

"Yes, there might be diamonds there."

After saying this, Jack couldn't help but get excited.

With diamonds, he can build a portal to the Nether and go to the Nether to obtain new resources.

You can also obtain a diamond set with better performance, so that you have the confidence to activate the Dragon Adventure Integration Pack that you have always been thinking about.

Jack couldn't help but hug Keqing and kiss her.

Keqing wiped her mouth in disgust and glanced at him sideways.

He didn't care and started digging the mine happily.

This went on for about ten minutes.

A gurgling bubbling sound came from behind a wall in front of him.

"Looks like this is it."

Keqing raised her pickaxe and was about to dig, but was stopped by Jack.

"Wait!"

"Let's build a platform first, dig a filtration channel in front, and then continue!"

Keqing imagined the scene of lava flowing after she broke through the wall, and her body shuddered.

"Sorry, Jack, I got impatient again."

"It's okay. With elemental powers, our survivability has greatly increased. Even if an accident occurs, we have ways to deal with it. But it never hurts to be cautious."

Pulling Keqing aside, Jack first dug a trough in front and poured two buckets of water into it.

Then he raised the edge of the tank and started digging again while standing on the wall.

Ding! Dong!

Ding! Dong!

The pickaxe struck rhythmically again and again on the deep slate.

His heartbeat followed suit.

Until there was a popping sound.

The deep slate broke into squares, and a bright light came from the hole that had been cut.

"hiss!--"

What came into view was an extremely large magma lake. The viscous lake surface was constantly bubbling like boiling water, and the high temperature caused the air to distort.

"This must be dozens or even hundreds of acres in size."

Jack stood on a high place and roughly estimated the area.

Keqing also nodded stupidly.

After all, she was a real estate boss, not a mining boss, and she had never seen such a magnificent sight in Liyue in her memory.

"Okay, stop lamenting. It's going to take forever to dig up diamonds from such a huge lava lake."

Jack came back to his senses and patted Keqing on the shoulder.

Keqing suppressed the shock in her eyes and asked, "Are we going to dig down bit by bit like before, and then spread out to the left and right?"

"That's not necessary."

Jack first dug a two-meter-high hole that was wide enough for people to pass through.

Extend two more blocks into the lava lake, dig out the block connected to your standing position, and a suspended cobblestone platform will be completed.

Then he took out the bucket he carried in his backpack and poured it onto the suspended platform.

Wow!

Infinite water gushed out from the platform and spread out in all directions.

Because of gravity, it continues to fall until it comes into close contact with the boiling magma.

Sizzle! —

In an instant, a large amount of liquid water evaporated, making a harsh sound.

White steam and purple-black obsidian blocks, like devourers, continuously devour the surrounding magma along the landing point of the water flow.

Seeing that the obsidian had almost spread, Jack took out an iron bucket to collect the water.

The source of the water disappeared, and what remained was a rootless source that soon dissipated.

"Look, just like this, let's just take the ladder down."

Keqing's throat moved a few times, but she finally swallowed the shock.

All I can say is that there are so many magical things in the MC world that she has become a little numb.

After landing.

Jack stepped on the obsidian under his feet.

It is very stable and no magma will burst out from any cracks.

Then the next steps are very simple.

Two words: start digging!

...

lapis lazuli?

Good stuff, a must-have for enchanted items, keep it!

Redstone?

It's also a good thing, but unfortunately it doesn't generate electricity, so I can only collect it and study it later.

Gold mine?

Although they are not very useful, the golden apples that can remove negative effects in the real world are worth collecting.

[Achievement achieved: Is this a diamond? ]

[Reward World Coins × 500]

Diamonds? Where are the diamonds?

The sudden announcement of the achievement left Jack a little confused, and then Keqing's exclamation came from a distance.

"Jack! I dug up a diamond!"

The lightning wedge kept flashing, and in a trance, a soft and delicate body crashed into his arms.

Keqing held up the small blue cube in her hand and said sweetly, "Jack, Jack, look! This is the diamond you wanted!"

The girl's bright eyes shine brighter than diamonds.

For a moment, Jack's attention was completely attracted by Keqing, who had bright eyes and a charming look, and the diamond he had been thinking about became less important.

"Well, this is indeed the diamond I want."

"Yeah...uh, why are you looking at me?"

"I'm looking at my 'diamond'. Is there anything wrong?"

Keqing's face suddenly turned red.

"Eh! You're so corny!"

"We're already an old married couple, but Qing is still so shy. She's truly my one and only diamond."

As he spoke, Jack's face moved closer and closer, and he stopped Keqing from speaking as she tried to continue.

Keqing did not resist.

She was already addicted to it, and when Jack teased her, she felt her bones soften immediately. She lay in Jack's arms, looking like she was ready to be taken advantage of.
