This morning.
A major incident occurred in the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius residential area.
Librarian Lisa's residence was attacked by the Abyss Order.
Fortunately, three god's eye wielders were present at the time, and after battling all morning, they managed to repel the Abyss.
The scarred stone walls and pockmarked ground at the scene served as proof.
According to an Honorary Knight residing nearby who wished to remain anonymous—
This attack was a premeditated one.
It is hoped that the general public of Mondstadt will heighten their vigilance and take this incident seriously.
Try not to return home too late or leave too early.
Maintain the good habit of waking up at 10 AM and finishing work at 3 PM, thoroughly upholding Mondstadt's creed of freedom.
It is believed that under the leadership of the Knights of Favonius, Mondstadt will prosper, and the people of Mondstadt will live a beautiful and free life.
...
"Finally covered it up."
Acting Grand Master Jean wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, looking helplessly at the few people sitting obediently in front of her.
"Although this method explains what happened to you all this morning, to prevent those enthusiastic Adventurers' Guild members from going near Lisa's home to explore and disturb your rest, why don't you all stay at my place for the next few days?"
"No!" x2
Lisa and Keqing answered simultaneously.
Lisa: If my dear were to stay at Acting Grand Master Jean's house, she and her sister would probably not escape harm. For the safety of my sisters, I should bear it alone.
Keqing: I heard that Acting Grand Master Jean is also a master of the one-handed sword and is very good at teaching others. If Jack were to go to her house, would I still be able to teach my remaining sword lessons?!
Jack roughly guessed the thoughts of the two jealous young women and spread his hands.
"The minority defers to the majority; it seems my opinion is no longer important."
"Alright, I'll have the Knights of Favonius contact the Adventurers' Guild and ask them to try not to go near your area."
"Then thank you, Acting Grand Master Jean!"
Jack gave Acting Grand Master Jean a bright smile.
Acting Grand Master Jean was captivated by his masculine charm, momentarily lost in thought.
"Cough, cough!"
Keqing cleared her throat as a reminder.
Acting Grand Master Jean quickly reacted, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Sorry, Jack, the Knights of Favonius have been busy investigating the Abyss resurgence recently and don't have time to accompany you around Mondstadt. Amber and Eula have also gone on missions to Dragonspine. Among us, only Lisa can accompany you."
Jack was stunned.
He hadn't expected to be seen as such a lonely, left-behind elder in Acting Grand Master Jean's eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, Lisa, beside him, teased, "Acting Grand Master Jean, you're still worried about others not being taken care of in Mondstadt, but in reality, others are having a very wild and happy time! Right, dear?"
"Having a wild time?"
Seeing Acting Grand Master Jean's pure and curious face look over—
Jack, as an experienced person, somehow couldn't start the engine of his car.
In front of Acting Grand Master Jean, who was as pure as a Cecilia flower, Jack only felt that his soul was defiled.
"This and that, and then this and that..."
However, Jack was unwilling to defile the pure Jean.
But Lisa, a certain 'plastic sister', really wanted to see her in a predicament.
So Lisa leaned in close, and her meticulous logical thinking and developed expressive abilities allowed her to tell the story vividly.
Jean's pretty face grew redder and redder.
Gradually, just looking at Jack, her eyes held a watery gleam.
It was as if she was saying: You started Impact without me?
Jean the Angel has fallen!
The culprits were the perverse god Jack and the mischievous witch Lisa.
"I have kept the offer from earlier open for you, Jack. The Gunnhildr family's door is always open for you."
Jean looked at Jack solemnly, as if she had made up her mind, and said.
Judging by the redness of her earlobes as she spoke,
It was probably not just the Gunnhildr family's door.
Even her boudoir door was ready.
"Haha, another day for sure, another day for sure."
A beauty's kindness is hard to bear, and a beauty's affection even more so.
It seems I need to find time to ask Jean out and spend some quality time with her, otherwise, it would be troublesome if the child turned into a resentful woman from being cooped up.
A young girl in her prime should receive the sunshine and dew she deserves.
...
On the way home from the Knights of Favonius.
Jack was in the middle, with Keqing and Lisa each holding one of his arms, walking him along.
Such a trio had a quite high Return Rate even in Mondstadt.
"I didn't expect you two to run into Albedo yesterday, and also, an item from that world appeared in Dragonspine Mountain."
"Indeed, I didn't anticipate that either."
Jack's eyes flickered: "So Lisa, didn't you notice some kind of anomaly in the world a few weeks ago?"
Lisa shook her head: "Absolutely not!"
"Why, is this matter very significant?" Keqing asked with some confusion.
"Perhaps." Jack mused: "I briefly told you about the different modes in my world before."
"For me, this 'player' or rather, Creator, the world is on Peaceful difficulty, so I possess almost infinite hunger, stamina, health regeneration speed, and all other seemingly unreasonable characteristics."
"But for the residents of Teyvat, the world is more like an extreme survival mode with only one life. In MC, extreme survival also has the characteristic of being fixed at Hard difficulty."
"After the continent of Teyvat was captured by my world and they influenced each other, it also followed this original rule. But I don't have Teyvat's permissions and cannot modify its difficulty, and even if Teyvat's difficulty were changed, I'm afraid some very terrifying things would happen."
"For example, creatures classified as 'monsters' like demons might be forcibly eliminated on Peaceful difficulty."
"All these things you're talking about are for the future, right? You haven't mentioned the current world's influence on Teyvat?"
Keqing still had questions.
Jack pinched the twin buns on her head.
"Keqing, have you forgotten what happens if I switch the mode to Hard?"
Keqing's pupils widened: "...Zombies will appear! You mean these monsters will appear in Teyvat in the future?!"
"That's just a guess."
Jack waved his hand, signaling her not to worry so much: "If zombies were to appear at night, that bard would have complained to me the first time he saw me. It's more likely, as Albedo said, that some areas have undergone anomalies."
"I see, that explains it."
Lisa stated her thoughts: "There are signs of mutual fusion between the two worlds, but the process is very gentle and passive. The reason lies with the bosses of the two worlds."
The Heavenly Principles had fallen into a deep sleep for many years due to the war with the Abyss.
Jack, still on his way to becoming the Creator, did not have complete world authority.
Neither of them interfered with the world fusion process.
Therefore, there was no situation of one devouring the other; only small-scale overlaps occurred between the worlds.
"In other words, once I clear my world, liberate the End, and become the Creator, I can actively promote the world's fusion and gain a dominant position within it."
"As long as I'm careful not to wake up that lazy Heavenly Principles, I can take Teyvat without shedding blood!"
"Bingo! The Traveler's comprehension is as high as ever!"
A bard dressed in green appeared from the street.
"Good afternoon, Traveler and his female companions. I wonder if you would be interested in buying the best bard in the mortal realm a glass of Dandelion Wine?"
