The divine weapon was very convenient to use.
But to cultivate and polish it to its final stage would still require a lot of time and effort.
The Netherite Sword didn't have high durability; one bar of durability could only support about 3 polishes.
And repairing it once required 3 Netherite Ingots.
So while the forged weapons from the Tetra mod were strong, their cost was truly high.
"Alright, I know, you go grind monsters elsewhere. Mona and I plan to look at this temple again; there seem to be graffiti writings left by unknown creatures on it."
Lisa pushed Jack, urging him to leave quickly, and in a place he couldn't see, she winked at Mona, looking as if things were going perfectly.
Am I an outsider again?
Looking at the two witch ladies whose relationship had seemingly improved at some unknown point, Jack felt a little strange.
It wasn't just Lisa and Mona; recently, the relationships among these women seemed to have become a bit too good.
Although it should be considered a good thing.
His sixth sense gave him a feeling that this group was brewing some kind of conspiracy.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Putting away the Netherite Greatsword, Jack flew directly towards the Nether Portal.
He was preparing to return to the Overworld.
Killing monsters could indeed polish the blade.
But since it was all about consuming durability to polish.
Why wouldn't he choose to consume durability by chain-mining soil? That efficiency completely surpassed killing monsters and hitting scarecrows.
...
Ten minutes later.
A clang.
The system prompted that Jack's weapon could be polished.
So he took out the Smithing Table, placed 6 Fire Dragon Scales, and chose to upgrade the grip wrapping level.
Attack power increased by 5.5%.
Twenty minutes later.
The third grip wrapping.
Attack power increased by 11%.
...
Several hours passed.
The time came to around 2 PM.
Jack enhanced the attack speed of the last handle to level five.
At this point, the enhancements for this Netherite Greatsword were completely maxed out.
"First, let's find a Fire Dragon brother to try out the feel."
Flying quickly to the nearest teleportation anchor, Jack opened the vast teleportation network.
Then he found the location of the Fire Dragon Lair he had marked during his exploration, chose one he hadn't fought yet, and directly teleported there.
...
Rewind time to one hour ago.
Nether.
A Netherrack mountain area.
A touring party consisting of Eula, Amber, Lumine, and Shen He was battling a group of monsters.
Paimon was cheering them on from the side.
However, it seemed she flew too high.
A floating Ghast saw her.
After emitting a cry like a baby's wail, it spat a fireball towards Paimon.
"Lumine, help!"
Although she heard Paimon's cry, Lumine was too far from her at the moment, and holding a one-handed sword, she simply didn't have that kind of attack range.
At the critical moment, a blue arrow streaked across the sky.
Whoosh!
Frostflake Bloom, and the Ghast's attack was extinguished in front of Paimon.
Then another arrow flew.
The thin-skinned Ghast was killed with a single hit.
"Ganyu!"
Paimon looked at the newcomer in surprise.
It was precisely the Mondstadt Liyue high-level leadership combination, inspecting the customs and terrain of the Nether.
"It's really lively. It seems everyone has arrived."
After the two groups met, Lisa also walked over with Mona.
At this point, besides Jack himself, all the harem members who had had in-depth discussions with him were gathered.
Everyone found a relatively safe Netherite cave.
Keqing stepped forward and said, "Today is already Thursday. In two days, Jack will restart his peaceful mode. I think our plan can begin."
Eula gave a cold laugh, rubbing her fists together and saying, "Heh heh! I've finally waited for this day. I've been abstaining for almost three whole days for this! Three days!"
Amber, however, was a little worried: "Do we really have to do this? Will it hurt his body?"
Her thoughts were simple.
When Jack was with them, his body only gave out, it didn't take in.
Working continuously all night, he might even be squeezed dry of blood.
Lisa, on the other hand, explained with a smile: "The Aralia Element Power and matter in Teyvat can transform into each other. With the enormous accumulation of Aralia Element Power that our dear one possesses, even if our numbers were tenfold, he would at most be weak for a while, it wouldn't hurt his foundation."
"I see."
Amber nodded her little head, her thoughts starting to wander: "No wonder that thing made me feel like my stamina recovered when I ate it. Is it really made of grass element?"
"Eat what? What's delicious?!"
Paimon curiously leaned next to Amber and asked.
"Eh?"
Amber suddenly realized that a mascot seemed to have snuck into the harem team present.
She didn't know how to speak for a moment.
"We're talking about adult topics, why are you joining in the commotion?!"
Lumine held down Paimon, who still wanted to ask more questions, and then raised her own question: "Why do I feel like you all agreed to gather together? Are you planning something big?"
Seeing her genuinely clueless expression.
Keqing looked at Ningguang.
You didn't tell her about the juicing plan?
Ningguang shrugged.
Her unspoken meaning was: You know Lumine's discretion. Important matters cannot be told to her before they are finalized.
Keqing surprisingly agreed with Ningguang's approach, then said.
"Since Ningguang didn't inform you, then I'll tell you about it, Lumine. It's like this, before Jack lifted the restrictions of the peaceful mode, we discussed a plan on a small scale…"
Next.
Keqing briefly explained the plan to Lumine.
After hearing about this juicing plan, proposed by Keqing, refined by Ganyu, Ningguang, and others, and strongly joined by Jean and Eula, Lumine's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her whole body became hot with excitement.
She wished she could drag Jack over right now and fight him for three hundred rounds, then sit on his face and yell, "Scum? Scum!"
"Shen He, calm her down!"
Keqing saw Lumine's uncontrollable smile, fearing that she would ruin things before nightfall, so she called out her cool-headed enforcer.
Shen He heard this and, without mercy, summoned Breath of the Ice Dragon.
A single "Soul Unleashed" directly froze Lumine into a block of ice.
After about ten seconds.
The ice melted, and Lumine shivered, calming down.
"Hiss… Keqing… You guys have such a fun… plan, and you didn't tell me in advance… that's really disrespectful!"
"Uh, actually, I suggested to Miss Keqing and the others not to inform you."
Ganyu spoke up awkwardly.
Even Ganyu, who usually presented herself as a kind person, was so wary of Lumine.
One could imagine what she was like in everyone's minds.
Lumine was a little unwilling.
Then she looked at Jean.
Jean slightly turned her head, avoiding eye contact with her.
So she looked at Amber again.
However, this time even Amber didn't speak up for her, quietly hiding behind Eula.
"Why are you looking at me? We have so much animosity, do you still expect me to speak up for you?"
Eula hugged her arms in a tsundere manner.
Lumine smiled sadly.
I kindly treat you as sisters, yet you guard against me like this! Is there no friendship or righteousness left in this world!
