After nearly half a month of exploration, with the help of three young dragons as their means of transportation, Jack and Keqing have lit up the map within a 300km radius of the forest cabin.
Two villages were discovered among them.
The villages are settlements with only dozens of houses, where people live the most primitive farming life.
Moreover, the characters do not look like the block people in the game, but are closer to the appearance of modern humans and have a certain degree of intelligence.
This made Jack, who had normal human values, unable to be so cruel as to use the villagers as "props" in the game.
So whether it was deliberately letting the villagers become infected zombies and then rescuing them to get the buff of the village hero, or placing the villagers in a cramped space and making them the trading window of the Village Exchange, Jack felt guilty.
And the villagers' attitude towards him is also somewhat intriguing.
Some people show too much respect, as if they are treating gods.
This gave him a guess.
Could it be that this "Minecraft" game is really my world?
...
One afternoon.
Jack was riding his triangle alone on the edge of the map to open up a new map.
Triangle is the smallest of the three main world dragons that he and Keqing subdued.
He named the three baby dragons, from largest to smallest, Bighorn, Twohorn, and Threehorn.
Keqing was making new clothes for Xiaoju because he had grown too fat recently, so she didn't come for the task of expanding the map today.
"Alas, with Aqing gone, this expansion map has become boring."
Jack multitasked by controlling the grass elemental power in his hand, making it form numerical models from 1 to 10, in order to exercise his control over the elemental power.
"Ah~"
The young dragon whispered back to him.
"Yeah, you want to play with your brothers and sisters too, right?"
"Ah~"
"Uh, you said Dajiao always steals your food? Okay, I get it. Let's go back and teach this guy a lesson."
"Ahhh (～￣▽￣)～"
In the world view of the original God Teyvat continent, the grass element has the ability to control dreams and spirits.
During this period of time, Jack's character level has reached level 72. Although the level system is different from that of Teyvat, his strength growth seems very rapid to Keqing, so fast that she even suspects whether he is the reincarnation of a god like the Geo King.
At present, Jack can use the power of grass element to "communicate" with most animals and plants, which is comparable to the previous generation of One Piece Roger's ability to listen to the voices of all things.
After climbing over the hillside at his feet, a higher mountain appeared in front of Jack.
Halfway up the mountain, there stood a lonely house.
"Huh? Why is there a single building there? It doesn't look like a village... Oh, right, that's the gatekeeper's hut. I remember it's where you can travel to the other worlds of the Land of Eternal Dawn and the Land of Eternal Day."
The above two different worlds are as their names suggest.
It is a world of eternal night and eternal day.
You can buy Wind-Controlling Flint from the gatekeepers that spawn in different parts of the main world, and then use the Wind-Controlling Flint to ignite the portal in the hut next to the gatekeeper's residence to travel to these two worlds.
The rules of the two alien worlds are different from those of the main world, and the tools, weapons, and armor of the main world will be reduced there.
It is equivalent to accumulating resources again after going to another world.
"But with the other resources from the Dragon Adventure integration pack, it seems there isn't much to gain from the two alternate worlds, and the bosses in both worlds are pretty disgusting."
He used to play the Dragon Adventure integration pack because the main quest required him to defeat bosses in two worlds. Now that these requirements are gone, he is too lazy to go to the other world specifically to seek abuse.
Riding on the young dragon, Jack slowly walked towards the gatekeeper's cottage on the mountain.
Half an hour later.
After walking through the distance of Wangshan and running to the dead horse, he arrived at the door of the cottage.
A middle-aged man in solemn black priest attire stood respectfully before him.
"Greetings, great Creator."
"Creator? Interesting title."
Jack turned over and got off the dragon, looking at the gatekeeper in front of him with scrutiny.
With clean short hair, a short beard, and thin and resolute cheeks, he has the air of an ascetic.
However, this ascetic monk is a tough guy with 80 drops of blood, who can move like the wind among the zombies.
"Is there something that the Creator has come to visit?"
Looking at the humble gatekeeper in front of him, Jack couldn't tell what the other party was playing for a moment, so he asked directly: "Do you have anything here that can be traded?"
"Yes, Lord Creator, please follow me into the house."
Jack patted the young dragon's front paws and said, "Just stand guard outside the house. If I call you, just rush in and break down the door."
"Ah~"
The young dragon squatted there obediently, sticking out its tongue like a husky.
Jack laughed and scolded it, then threw out a few pieces of beef.
The gatekeeper leading the way didn't react at all when he heard Jack's half-threatening words.
It was as if he didn't care that his nest was demolished.
"Here we are, Master Creator. What items would you like to purchase?"
Similar to trading with villagers.
The gatekeeper brought out a box, and the props appeared in the form of physical objects wrapped in bubbles. It was not a sci-fi virtual store like a grocery store.
[Wind Control Flint: 6 Emeralds]
[Gate of Teyvat (Building Blueprint): 32 Emeralds]
Resisting the urge to put his sword to the gatekeeper's neck, Jack asked as friendly as possible: "What is this? Sell me half a set of emeralds?"
"My Lord Creator, this is the ticket to another world [Genshin]. I don't have the power to set the price; I'm merely the world's transporter."
"I have eyes and can see the instructions."
"But since you call me the Creator, is it okay for me to ask you a few questions?"
"Please, Lord Creator."
"How did this world come to be? What is my role in it?"
Jack's topics were sharp and went straight to the point.
What surprised Jack was that the gatekeeper actually answered every question in his low and steady voice.
"This world was created by a former creator, a world called Journey to Gensokyo. With the passing of the previous creator, the original world also fell into destruction."
"Your arrival has prolonged the life of the world, making you the successor of the Creator. However, the passing of the previous Creator has had a profound impact on the world. Only after you defeat the dragon of disaster can you regain authority over the world."
Jack had some impression of the name "Journey to Gensokyo".
It's not specifically referring to a certain out-of-date Che Wan, but is about himself.
One night before he was hit by a car in his previous life, Jack opened MC and created a world archive called Journey to Gensokyo.
The purpose at that time was that Dragon Adventure 3.4 was updated, and I was going to review it.
As a result, not long after I loaded the game, I received a message from my boss saying that I had to prepare a PPT report tomorrow. In a fit of rage, I deleted the world save file.
Then I quickly turned off the game and worked overtime all night.
The next day, due to lack of energy, he saved a little girl who ran a red light and was hit and killed by a truck.
Combined with the gatekeeper's words that the previous creator passed away and the world was destroyed.
Jack has reason to suspect that the two creators are actually the same person, namely him, the player.
"Is the dragon of Calamity the Ender Dragon? Can I unlock Creative Mode by defeating him?"
"Yes, my Lord Creator, although I am not sure what your creation mode means, if you defeat the dragon of disaster, you will gain the power to create and destroy the world."
"Who designed your AI? Why is it so childish?"
"Excuse me, Master Creator, what do AI and chuunibunji mean?"
The gatekeeper looked at Jack with some distress, as if he was ashamed of not being able to understand the language of the Creator.
Change the context.
It was probably during the era of miracles that an ordinary church priest saw Jesus, the incarnation of the Lord, and Jesus spoke words that he could not understand in the Bible.
"Wait for me here for a while."
After saying this, Jack walked out the door.
"Ouch!"
"Well, be good. Just stay here and watch over this gatekeeper. I'm going home to get the emerald."
"Ouch!"
Patting the dragon's legs, Jack took out the teleportation anchor and placed it in front of the gatekeeper's hut.
Tap to teleport the anchor.
A virtual image transmission network opens.
All the maps above that have been explored by Jack and Keqing are shown in real-time observation.
"Teleport to the cabin in the woods."
As the order came down, Jack was immediately wrapped in white light, and disappeared from the spot with a ding sound.
