MC World, a mountain gorge about three hundred kilometers from Linjian Cabin.
Keqing was currently carrying out an exploration mission with Lumine and Paimon.
"I wonder how Jack is doing. Is he eating well over there?"
"You're still worried about him? He's probably surrounded by beautiful women and having a great time right now."
"Hoo… I've already prepared myself mentally for that. Although love is beautiful, it doesn't last forever. In a long life, we will eventually develop a feeling that transcends ordinary kinship."
Lumine was a little surprised: "He told you that?"
"Yes, I didn't understand it much before, but after seeing the way you two interact, I sort of get it now."
Lumine unconsciously curled her lips: "What kind of interaction do he and I have? It's good enough if we don't constantly trick each other. And a long life… have you noticed that you're no longer human?"
Keqing nodded.
She summoned a sub-system interface similar to Jack's, exclusive to "maids."
"Gatekeeper Uncle and those Villagers are the citizens of the God and King, while I am a subordinate of the God, somewhat like the Adepti of Liyue. I will probably live for a very long time."
"No, you're wrong." Lumine corrected: "Jack is an existence equivalent to Heavenly Principles. As his subordinate, you should be compared to the likes of Morax."
"When you return to Liyue still carrying this 'divine' aura, perhaps that retired street bum will directly appoint you as the second Rock King Emperor on the spot!"
Lumine covered her mouth and joked.
But Keqing seriously imagined the scene of being Ningguang's superior.
Damn it! It seems a little tempting!
...
In front of a cluster of densely packed residential houses.
Jack saw the Gatekeeper Sebas supervising the construction.
Sebas had also seen people riding on the young dragons early on and waited for Jack and the others with two seemingly normal Villagers.
"Welcome home, Creator."
"Sebas, where are Keqing and the others?"
"Her Majesty the God-Queen is exploring the map in the east with Her Royal Highness the God-Consort." Sebas's manners were impeccable, but he couldn't change his chuunibyou habit.
"I swear, I really want to reset your language AI."
"I am terrified. If I have offended the Creator, please punish me!"
"Never mind, I'm taking my… girlfriends to see the specialties of this world. You do your work, don't mind me."
As Jack spoke, he glanced at the four girls, shamelessly using the word "girlfriends."
Fortunately, they had indeed temporarily accepted the path of becoming his wings.
Aside from blushing a little in embarrassment, there were no other adverse reactions.
As for Klee?
She couldn't move after seeing the huge waterfall impacting the lake.
She kept shouting, "Please, please, let Klee go play."
Jack couldn't stand it and just let her go fishing with bombs in the lake.
A few minutes later, Jack led them to a lush green field.
"This is the wheat cultivation base I previously opened up with Keqing."
Jack walked along the field path with one hand behind his back, pointing at the green seedlings in the field with the other.
"These are wheat, the raw material for bread. As Mondstadters, you should be very familiar with this crop."
Jean nodded: "Yes, we also grow similar crops in Mondstadt, but due to the rampant monsters in the wild, only large forces like the Knights of Favonius and Dawn Winery have the ability to open up large-scale plantations. The population of Mondstadt has always struggled to increase, and it has a lot to do with food."
"If that's the case, then my wheat should just about satisfy your appetites."
Jack opened his backpack and "magically" produced a loaf of bread in front of them.
"This is bread made from wheat. You can try the taste first."
Jean took the bread, then divided it into four equal portions, handing them to Lisa, Eula, and Amber.
Lisa lightly crumbled the bread, evaluating: "Dense yet soft, and when finely crumbled, it feels like silk. It's a top-grade white bread."
Eula glanced at Lisa: Is that a line that fits my character?
She simply didn't bother to show off her outdated noble knowledge again and took a bite to taste it directly.
"It's indeed good. It's very filling and should be very useful during missions in the wild."
Amber, who was about to speak, choked: That's a reconnaissance knight's line, although it applies to guerrilla knights too.
After thinking for a long time, Amber could only blush and blurt out, "Delicious!"
"Hehe, there's no need to specifically evaluate anything. I just want you to feel the similarities between the two worlds."
Jack wiped some bread crumbs from Amber's mouth and continued: "Currently, we have 50 farmers, and in the future, we can cultivate 100 mu of land. This wheat matures every 5 days, yielding about 67 tons of wheat each time, which is 400 tons a month."
"Thanks to the special rules of this world, once the population increases later, monthly production of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of grain will be no problem."
"Future?"
Jean caught the keyword in Jack's words.
Jack didn't care that she saw through his grand promises, "It is indeed the future, because I don't have that much grain in hand right now. Look, the existing seedlings are all in the ground."
"This…"
Jean was speechless. It was a good thing she thought of coming to see it herself.
Otherwise, if she really proposed to those people and then found out that Jack had no grain, she would have been completely screwed by her boyfriend.
Thinking of this, she shot Jack a resentful look.
"I admit I was a bit trying to pull a fast one! But I didn't expect our relationship to become this intimate, so what's wrong with withholding some information from a business partner?"
"You call this withholding some information?"
"Anyway, there's a lot of time between negotiating the contract and signing the agreement. With Mondstadt's administrative speed, it will take at least one or two months. By then, won't the grain be ready?"
Jean pouted.
She looked around and found that she couldn't find a reason to refute him.
Seeing her a bit disheartened, Jack patted Jean's back to comfort her: "Don't worry, Mondstadt's low administrative efficiency isn't your fault. It's Barbatos not doing his job that caused it. You, who constantly thinks of the common people of Mondstadt, are already a competent Grand Master of the Knights."
"You are not allowed to speak of Lord Barbatos that way. He… he has already done enough for Mondstadt."
"Then let me ask you a question: If Barbatos and I both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
"Eh? This, how can there be such a sharp question?!"
Jean was instantly torn.
See, that's how you comfort a girl. Watch and learn.
