"Wait for me, I'll build you a new, hidden ladder."
Saying this, Jiang Xuan was about to walk to the edge and climb down the ladder.
"Wait!"
Ningguang, somewhat shyly, called out to Su Huai, saying unnaturally,
"No rush, you eat first…"
Jiang Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"My hunger bar is full, no need to eat extra. Besides, building a new ladder is no trouble, it'll be done in a moment."
Saying that, Jiang Xuan climbed down the ladder.
To be honest, Jiang Xuan really wanted to try out the "water bucket save" trick.
After all, the "water bucket save" was a signature move every Block Person had to learn.
Climbing ladders was tedious and slow, such a hassle.
Besides, Jiang Xuan had performed many tricks when he used to play games.
Not to mention the "water bucket save."
Scaffolding save, jumping on wooden boats on a lava ocean, mid-air water placement for a no-fall landing…
These were all tricks he had pulled off.
It was just that actually doing it himself, he was still a little scared.
If he were in Teyvat, Jiang Xuan would have nothing to say.
He could even bungee jump from Sky Island without a water bucket.
But the MC world was different.
The MC world treated everyone equally; Xiao and Zhongli couldn't fly anymore.
Presumably, if Venti came, he'd fall to his death from a high platform.
Elytra…
Still necessary. Jiang Xuan planned to get a full set of enchanted diamond armor, bring a pile of TNT, and go straight to the End to slay the dragon.
If he had enough Redstone and various materials, he might even be able to build a space-based dragon-slaying cannon.
Looking at the current progress, it wouldn't take long.
While thinking, Jiang Xuan didn't waste time building the ladder.
A hidden ladder was actually simple.
Just a 3x3 channel.
Then just place torches.
It was simply to ensure Ningguang and the girls didn't have to worry about exposure while climbing.
It took about five minutes at most. Jiang Xuan, working with both hands, erected a brand new channel.
After building it, Jiang Xuan didn't return to the high platform.
He returned to the ground and hastily went back to his room to craft two signs.
One was placed under the uncovered ladder, marked "For Gentlemen."
The other was placed under the hidden ladder, naturally marked "For Ladies."
After doing all this, Jiang Xuan slowly climbed up to the high platform.
Before he could even catch his breath, Ganyu excitedly ran over and handed him half a loaf of bread.
Her big eyes blinked, bright and charming.
"Jiang Xuan, are you tired? Have some bread first. This bread tastes really good."
Saying this, Ganyu paused again, and quickly added,
"I broke this bread! Jiang Xuan, don't overthink it! It's just… I can't finish it…"
Jiang Xuan's hunger bar hadn't decreased, but he wouldn't refuse Ganyu's good intentions.
He took the bread, chuckled, and gently rubbed Ganyu's head.
"Don't say that. Even if Ganyu bit it, I'd still happily eat it."
"This isn't making things difficult at all. It's a benefit, isn't it?"
Ganyu's face turned red, and she mumbled softly,
"Benefits or something… Jiang Xuan, don't tease me!"
Jiang Xuan raised an eyebrow and said, reasoning,
"How is this teasing? Ganyu, aren't you a little lacking in confidence about your charm?"
"I really like Ganyu, you know!"
Ganyu's face grew redder and redder. Faintly, Jiang Xuan could even see steam rising from her head.
Finally, Ganyu gave Jiang Xuan a shy glare, pouting and mumbling,
"Jiang Xuan, really! You shouldn't say such things casually! I'm going to help Keqing and the others over there now!"
Seeing Ganyu flee in embarrassment, Jiang Xuan chuckled and shook his head.
He bit into the bread and casually placed a block of wood to sit on and rest.
What he said to Ganyu just now was not false at all.
Does liking someone need a reason?
Does liking someone need to be hidden?
That's the shy romance ritual of children.
For him, if he liked someone, he would say it. He was a man, what's wrong with being lustful? How are you?
Jiang Xuan never denied being a lecherous old man.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a happy time chatting with Ganyu and Keqing this past year.
He was always willing to be their listener and guide.
What for?
Just for wives!
Otherwise, would he really diligently be a loyal dog? That would be too foolish.
Since he was already here, if he didn't find a few more wives, was he even a man?
However, Jiang Xuan wasn't completely focused on women.
For him now, prioritizing the development of the MC world was the top priority.
With mods enabled, the entertainment facilities and various games in the later MC world would be much richer than in Teyvat.
Life is for having fun!
Jiang Xuan thought so, anyway.
Everything was for his own future enjoyment.
"Once the mob grinder is built, and task one is completed, System, you must give me a useful mod, right?"
Jiang Xuan clapped his hands, stood up, and walked towards the empty space left in the distance.
Passing Zhongli, he didn't forget to say,
"I have some buildings I need to start. You and Xiao cooperate and build a 50x50 platform as soon as possible."
Zhongli's lips twitched. Looking at Jiang Xuan's bossy demeanor, he nodded helplessly in agreement.
Not far away, seeing Jiang Xuan start to move, Ningguang and the other two also quickly got up and approached.
"Jiang Xuan! Are you going to build that mob grinder? Can we help?"
Keqing excitedly waved her pickaxe, looking ready to strike wherever instructed.
Jiang Xuan first glanced at Ganyu, whose eyes were wandering, her face not yet recovered.
At this moment, she didn't dare to make eye contact with Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan chuckled softly, shook his head, and said,
"No need for help, but you can watch how I build it."
"Your future advance teams, whether exploring resources or building cities, will need to build mob grinders."
"Mob grinders can effectively gather monsters for you and kill them without danger."
"Monsters drop many good things. Zombies might drop various enchanted tools and weapons, skeletons drop bows and arrows and bones."
"Creepers also drop some gunpowder, which is good for making TNT."
Saying this, Jiang Xuan pinched his chin and began to fantasize again.
"Speaking of which… it seems I'm still missing a slime farm. That's also necessary…"
"And pillagers… why are there never any pillagers in this village?"
"I haven't seen any witches either, what a shame…"
Jiang Xuan said, suddenly seeing Ningguang and the others looking confused.
He slapped his head and chuckled,
"Come on, I'll give you a general introduction on how to do it."
"Mob grinders utilize the characteristic of fall damage being fatal from high altitudes. The fatal range for most monsters is 24 blocks."
"So, we'll build the mob grinder 23 blocks high."
As soon as his voice fell, Keqing raised her hand.
She said excitedly,
"Question! Why don't we just build it 24 blocks high and let them fall to their deaths?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and explained,
"It's mainly so we can personally kill them for experience drops. This is necessary for future enchantments."
"Of course, there are other reasons that you'll know later."
"I'll continue. A qualified mob grinder needs stone, water buckets, trapdoors, chests, and hoppers."
"This is also so that after killing monsters, hoppers can directly transport their materials to chests."
"However, we don't have the materials to make hoppers right now, so we'll have to pick them up ourselves."
Jiang Xuan spoke earnestly, and Ningguang and the other two listened intently.
From time to time, Keqing also furiously wrote notes and then asked a few questions.
Before long, the four of them worked together to build upwards.
They looked like a well-matched team of men and women, working without getting tired.
Not far away, Zhongli, lonely and helpless, was still perfecting the platform, and sighed softly.
"This guy… he's not really treating me as free labor, is he?"
"And that child, Ganyu…"
From his experienced perspective, Ganyu definitely had some different ideas.
But looking at the current development, it was hard to say that Ningguang and Keqing wouldn't have some ideas either.
Although the Geo Archon, the old man who had been widowed for six thousand years, was often said to be heartless.
But everything was like this: those involved were confused, while bystanders saw clearly.
"Forget it… This is their own choice."
Shaking his head, Zhongli averted his gaze. Looking at the half-finished project, he felt a bit of a headache.
"I should have known to bring Lishui and the others along… I alone, the workload is simply too much."
