Being honest with each other.
This is the best way to bring people closer.
Not just in business negotiations, but also in romantic relationships.
In Lisa's bathroom.
Jack sat behind her, washing her hair.
"Are you a little more sober now?"
"Mhm."
Lisa replied softly.
"That's good. I'm having a hard time telling if you or Keqing drank too much. Could it be that Lisa is the kind of person who gets drunk just by smelling alcohol?"
Lisa wrinkled her nose: "Am I that bad in your eyes?"
"I didn't mean to disparage you, it was just a metaphor."
"Hmph, smooth talker."
"This isn't smooth talk; I'm just being serious with every woman."
Splash!
A basin of warm water poured down from above, washing away the foam from Lisa's hair.
Then he picked up a bath towel.
Starting from the tips, he gently rubbed, drying Lisa's long hair.
Soon, a refreshed Lisa appeared.
"You're really skilled, how many times have you bathed with Keqing?"
"Isn't this good? At least you don't have to go through the stage of me pulling your hair and making you grimace."
Lisa imagined Keqing's expression when her hair was pulled, and a smile curved at the corner of her lips.
"Alright, now it's my turn to wash you."
Lisa stood up, preparing to get water to service Jack as well.
Only, she forgot that she was a delicate and frail mage. After squatting for too long, her legs went numb, and she accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.
Clang!
The basin and stool made a loud noise.
After a chaotic scramble, Jack finally caught Lisa.
Only, their posture was a little strange.
Lisa's cheeks were flushed, and in her panic, she could only use aggression to hide her inner shyness.
"You're taking advantage of your older sister, hmph, it seems it's time for a little shock."
Miss Witch smiled slightly, and a dazzling electric light bloomed in her hand.
Jack, who had just done a good deed, didn't expect to be electrocuted. Purple lightning glowed around him.
However, he wasn't someone who would just sit there and take it, so he also activated his Aralia Element Power to counterattack.
Hiss!
Due to their overly intense actions during the bathroom battle, the Electro and Aralia Elements accidentally collided and triggered an intensified reaction.
The current, with no friendly fire recognition, began to dart wildly around the bathroom.
But this current was very weak, so much so that what should have caused pain, instead gave them a strange pleasure.
A rosy aura began to fill the air.
(River Crab Deity passes by...)
...
The bath today lasted a bit long.
So much so that when they emerged from the bathroom, their skin was a bit wrinkled from being in the water for too long.
"My dear, I guess I'm stuck with you for life, but there are so many other girls like Jean. Can your body handle it all by yourself?"
Lisa was carried princess-style back to her room. Standing before her was a man with a robust body like an ancient Greek hero, sculpted like a statue.
After getting dressed, the two came to the Magic Workshop located underground.
At Lisa's request, Jack prepared to put the remaining Fire Dragon materials here.
As he brought up the MC inventory, a pile of huge monster bones was taken out.
"Strange, that big a dragon, and in the end, only this many bones could be collected?"
Lisa touched the dragon bones in confusion, and through the information transmitted by elemental energy, she felt a violent power and endless anger.
"Don't ask. If you ask, it's an MC characteristic. Perhaps when I can skillfully master the power of MC rules in the future, I'll be able to dissect it without it turning into material blocks."
After taking out more than a dozen dragon bones,
Next were dragon meat, dragon scales, heart, and other flesh and blood tissues.
Compared to the dragon bones, the latter three items were even more illogical.
From one dragon, at most, less than 10 portions of dragon meat could be collected, and depending on the stage, dragon scales could even range from single digits to over 40.
In reality, a dragon couldn't possibly have only these few materials.
But in MC, the dragon's massive body was condensed into the situations mentioned above.
The result was that these special materials were extremely powerful.
Even with rough forging, they could become equipment comparable to master-level weapons.
"This heart feels like it's still alive?"
The moment the Fire Dragon's heart was taken out,
The temperature of the entire Magic Workshop began to rise.
"Indeed, if it keeps radiating such high temperatures, I'm afraid it won't be long before all your wooden furniture here spontaneously combusts."
Jack thought of monsters similar to Pyro Regisvine in Teyvat, so he asked, "You should have a special container here for preserving high-temperature monster materials, right?"
"I do. I bought materials of similar nature when I was researching Electro-Pyro elemental reactions before."
Lisa rummaged through the somewhat messy Magic Workshop and found the so-called container.
After the heart was stored, the Fire Dragon's skull was the last to be taken out.
This was the most valuable item besides the heart.
After all, other parts of the Fire Dragon's body were assimilated by MC rules into mass-produced items like dragon bones, and only the dragon head and heart were completely preserved.
The heart can be used as a nuclear reactor to cause a big explosion with the Electro element; there's no reason for the skull, which received the same treatment, to be inferior.
Teeth, bone meal, and even residual genetic material—these were all excellent research materials.
The two worked for nearly half an hour.
The Fire Dragon's remaining assets were finally sorted out.
Then, Lisa looked at Jack with a blush: "Now… sleep?"
"Indeed, it's quite late already."
"Then are you going back to Keqing's room or coming to my room?"
Facing Lisa's deadly question, Jack threw out a question in return: "Do you want to come to my room, or do you want to sleep alone?"
Lisa smiled helplessly: "You little man have completely got me wrapped around your finger…"
