The next day, in Entara's Linjian Cabin.
On the large bed in the master bedroom, today was a loli-only event.
Aside from Keqing and Ganyu, the two adult women pushed out to supervise Jack, the three little ones each found a comfortable spot to lie down.
Klee hugged her father's right hand, Qiqi hugged her brother's left hand, and Diona...
"So heavy..."
Jack opened his eyes and looked down.
His blanket had been kicked off at some point and was now covering Diona, whose colorful tail occasionally twitched.
To his left was Ganyu, who was guarding Qiqi, and to his right was Keqing, holding Klee.
What a warm scene of parents sleeping with their children!
Slightly sitting up, Jack checked the clock.
7 AM.
"It's a bit quiet around here. Oh, right, today is Entara's first weekend."
He had a big battle with the women on Thursday.
After recruiting a few dependents in Liyue on Friday, he came back and was entangled up by a sulking Klee.
Thankfully, Keqing reminded him in time, otherwise he would have forgotten about adjusting the difficulty last night.
It was still early, so Jack glanced at his MC system.
The random shop was as useless as ever.
In fact, at this stage of development, the current version of the random shop couldn't offer him much help. Besides rare items like the Maid Charm, only the wizard's eye was worth paying attention to.
The wizard's eye comes from the End: Genesis mod.
It increased the difficulty from the original End, which only required 12 Eyes of Ender to reach, by requiring 12 different eyes.
Most eyes could be found in chests in various terrains, while others required killing elite monsters or BOSSes. Only the wizard's eye was given directly upon completing the main storyline in the modpack.
But Jack's current world only had an achievement system that occasionally popped up to assert its presence, and no main quests.
So, acquiring the wizard's eye could only be done through the random shop, like when he farmed for Maid Charms, or by exploring some formula and achievement he didn't know about.
As for turning off the mod and defeating the Ender Dragon in the vanilla version, Jack had considered it, but only for a moment before giving up.
Firstly, the news of defeating the Ender Dragon and gaining the power of Genesis was learned from the Gatekeeper.
And the Gatekeeper was an NPC that only appeared after the mod was loaded.
Secondly, this world was basically completely intertwined with the mod. If he suddenly uninstalled the mod, Jack's Netherite Greatsword would probably turn into a question mark block, and there were too many uncertain factors.
Last but not least, the End enhancement mod was called "End: Genesis." This name and the Gatekeeper's mention of "seizing the Creator's authority" couldn't be said to be entirely coincidental; it was like a blatant confession.
Not to mention the Aether Ore, which only exists in Genesis End, a crucial component for divine artifacts as the best hilt material.
"Mmm~"
Just as Jack was boredly refreshing the random shop, a little cutie on his right opened her eyes.
"Daddy~"
Klee broke free from Keqing's embrace and happily burrowed her little head into Jack's chest.
"Awake?"
"Mm."
"Don't you want to sleep a bit more? You played so late with Qiqi and the others last night."
"No, Lisa A... Sister Lisa assigned me homework, and I haven't finished it yet."
"So good, you still remember to do your homework even on Saturday."
Jack pulled out his hand, patted Klee's head, and smoothed her messy hair.
Klee also obediently reached out her small hand to help him tidy his hair.
The father and daughter shared a tender moment for a few minutes.
Then, the others gradually woke up.
Keqing, wearing normal pajamas, sat up with a yawn and glanced at the quartz clock on the wall: "It's already past seven, hmm, I'll go make breakfast first."
Keqing first kissed Jack and Klee on their faces, then got out of bed to change clothes.
Ganyu, however, was different.
Somewhat prone to sleepiness, she groggily, half-asleep, "snatched" Qiqi from Jack's hands.
It wasn't until Qiqi truly mistook her for a Coconut Goat and started to suck that she awoke with a coquettish cry that made one's imagination run wild.
"Ah!"
Ganyu covered her chest.
She looked at Qiqi, who was blinking her eyes.
"Why does Coconut Goat Sister… not have coconut milk?"
"I'm not Coconut Goat Sister."
The two adepti began a strange conversation early in the morning.
"Meow~"
Diona unhappily stretched out her paws.
She got off Jack, curled herself up on the other side of the bed, rolled into a cat-worm with the blanket, and continued her snooze.
"Klee, you and Diona can sleep a bit longer. You can do your homework later. I'll go help Keqing make breakfast."
"Okay~"
Klee replied with a long, drawn-out sound.
After being put down, she then joined the other two little ones in pestering Ganyu, surrounding her and firmly pinning her to the bed.
"Jack…"
Facing Ganyu's plea for help, Jack merely smiled and stroked her fleshy horns: "If the children like you, then keep accompanying them. Keqing and I can prepare breakfast."
After a deep kiss, Jack quickly got dressed and left the room.
...
After breakfast.
Jack routinely inspected his territory.
Ningguang, acting as his secretary, followed beside him.
"Good morning, Creator! Ningguang!"
Kirell, the Gatekeeper and rational believer wearing a monocle, respectfully greeted the two.
"Morning, Kirell. How are the Entara population statistics coming along?"
"It's mostly complete, Creator."
"How many people are there in each profession currently?"
"As of now, Entara has taken in a total of 384 adult residents, including 150 farmers, 89 miners, 60 foresters (tree planting and logging), 74 warriors, 8 magic apprentices, and 3 Gatekeepers; there are 29 underage residents in total."
Thanks to the special rules of MC World.
The birth and growth of new Villagers are very fast.
This part of the rules was not assimilated by the "realistic" style module.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that in the next few years, or even a few months, this village of a few hundred people in Entara will develop into a city-state tens of times its current size.
"74 warriors, huh? That's almost 20% of the village's population. Isn't that too many?"
"My dear, have you forgotten that there are five days a week when monsters are spawned?"
Ningguang added from the side: "In your world, there are not a few monsters with special abilities, including boss monsters, which require several or even more than ten Villagers to defeat."
"The day before yesterday, a demigod-level Skeleton Archer was only barely killed after sacrificing 5 Villagers, I heard."
"People died?!" Jack frowned: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter sooner!"
"My apologies! My Lord, it was my dereliction of duty! Please punish me!"
Kirell knelt on one knee in shame.
Ningguang, however, blocked him.
"It was Keqing and I who suggested keeping this a secret for now."
"You and Keqing? Why?"
Ningguang patted his hand and said: "Don't worry, the Sacred Regeneration Scroll has already resurrected those sacrificed warriors. You know what time it was the day before yesterday, someone was busy fighting another great battle."
"Ahem, I see, alright then."
Jack coughed slightly unnaturally.
Because he was engrossed in female beauty, he didn't notice that a big monster had invaded his territory and killed Villagers.
Such a matter was too embarrassing, so Keqing and the others suppressed it and didn't publicize it.
One can only say that they are indeed the Qixing who manage the great nation of Liyue, firmly grasping public opinion.
