Jiang Xuan wanted to take a nap, then head to Minecraft World in the afternoon to sort through his gains and see what architectural improvements could be made.
After all, Redstone was already out, and he could totally use it to create more convenient things.
Like an automatic furnace and a sky island elevator.
But plans often change.
On one side was Redstone technology, which could be modified at any time and took very little time.
On the other side was Ganyu (Cocogoat), who had finally made up her mind and delivered herself to him, requiring a long time to "resolve."
Anyone with half a brain knew what to do.
Perhaps it was because both of their physiques were extremely excellent, apart from Ganyu's initial unfamiliarity.
Afterward, Ganyu quickly got used to it.
As a Half-Adeptus Beast beloved by Teyvat's laws, her recovery ability was definitely top-tier in this world.
Jiang Xuan himself was a bug-level existence.
The two hit it off immediately.
From early morning until around ten in the morning, they took a break to eat something.
Then, they continued.
It didn't completely end until after three in the afternoon.
Jiang Xuan also retracted his previous approval of Teyvat's luxurious wooden soft couch.
It was more comfortable than Minecraft's, but it wasn't durable enough.
Both he and Ganyu had very special physiques and considerable strength.
One wrong move and furniture would be dismantled.
In this half-day, Jiang Xuan lost his bed, tables, chairs, and sofa.
Even a large section of the windowsill was broken.
One could imagine how brutal it was.
Ganyu also gradually evolved from ignorant to a master.
However, while happy, they were now in their rest period and started to worry about the house, which looked like ruins.
How would they get someone to repair the room later?
Claim Jiang Xuan sleepwalked and dismantled the house?
That would be too ridiculous.
Not to mention Jiang Xuan didn't have such an attribute, if he really did sleepwalk and wreck the house.
Mount Tianheng would probably break.
However, this worry didn't last long.
With Ganyu by his side, who would think too much about such annoying matters?
Lying on the bed brought from Minecraft World.
Ganyu would occasionally glance at Jiang Xuan happily.
Finally, when Jiang Xuan looked at Ganyu meaningfully, she quieted down.
"Jiang Xuan!"
Ganyu hugged Jiang Xuan tightly, her big eyes flickering, with a hint of surrender.
Jiang Xuan chuckled, poked Ganyu's forehead, and softly said:
"Don't worry, you're tired enough."
Ganyu nodded quickly.
After the initial thrill and novelty passed, Ganyu now felt more tired than she had during the Archon War.
But every cell in her body was cheering, expressing its joy.
Ganyu couldn't describe the feeling, only that it was the happiest time since she was born.
"Speaking of which... I originally thought the Cocogoat was just a legend, I didn't expect..."
Before she finished speaking, Ganyu scrunched up her small face.
"Don't say it! It's just... I am a Half-Adeptus Beast after all!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say it."
Jiang Xuan smiled and shook his head.
What was the point of saying it or not? He had already tasted it anyway.
Although it couldn't remove all negative status effects like Minecraft's milk, the taste was truly heavenly.
Tightening his arm around her, Jiang Xuan didn't ask questions like "When did you fall in love with me?"
Having reached this point, such questions were unnecessary.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xuan softly said:
"From now on, how about living here with me?"
"Hmm..."
Ganyu blinked, curiously asking:
"Aren't I already going to live with Jiang Xuan?"
"No!"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, hinting:
"My meaning is, your room becomes mine..."
He lowered his voice and whispered into Ganyu's ear.
"What do Ganyu think?"
Visibly, Ganyu's face instantly flushed, looking utterly adorable.
She dared not look directly at Jiang Xuan, nodding slightly. Then, as if feeling too timid, Ganyu mustered her courage and said:
"It's... fine now... I want to be with Jiang Xuan forever!"
Jiang Xuan smiled and kissed Ganyu's horn.
Just as he was about to say something, the long-unheard System voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding, Diamond! Diamond! Achievement unlocked."
"Reward: Three new Home Coordinates; Weapon: Barrett Sniper Rifle and thirty special bullets; Weapon: Vampiric Scepter;
Module: Lucky Block."
"Next stage achievement mission: Wither Mansion!"
"Objective: Summon and defeat ten Wither Storms."
The sudden System notification made Jiang Xuan pause.
Noticing this, Ganyu also held her breath, quietly waiting for Jiang Xuan.
It was common knowledge that Jiang Xuan often got lost in thought about world planning.
At times like these, there was no need to wake him.
After all, Jiang Xuan's plans always came to fruition and often brought many surprises.
As for Jiang Xuan, to be honest, he was very surprised by this reward.
Provided he ignored the next tasteless achievement mission, Wither Mansion.
What kind of bizarre completion condition was that?
Jiang Xuan admitted he wanted to kill Wither Storms, but...
Beacons were good to have a few of!
Ten Wither Storms, the System really dared to spout nonsense!
What even was a Wither Storm?
It was a boss second only to the Ender Dragon!
Even if placed in the Overworld, it was hard to say who would be more powerful between the Ender Dragon and a Wither Storm.
A Wither Storm could fly, absorb all blocks, attack with massive explosions, and even had special rays...
Even with preparation, it would take some effort to deal with it.
Ten?!
What about the Minecraft Overworld then?
Even if he could defeat Wither Storms quickly with proper enchantments,
What about the Wither Skeleton Skulls needed to summon them?
With such a pathetic drop rate, to collect thirty of them, would he, Jiang Xuan, have to live in a Nether Fortress with Ganyu?
With a thousand complaints in his heart, Jiang Xuan wished he could pull out his System and slap it a few times.
However, considering that the difficulty was usually multiplied by a hundred, ten Withers could be considered humanitarian.
He temporarily put the Wither Mansion mission aside; this wasn't something that could be completed in a short time, at least not in one or two months.
Jiang Xuan looked at his current gains.
Compared to the next utterly frustrating achievement mission, the System's rewards this time were truly generous.
Three Home Teleportation Points, perfect for placing them during his next world exploration.
As for the rest...
A Barrett Sniper Rifle, plus thirty bullets.
It was indeed a powerful weapon, but it held little significance for Jiang Xuan.
He wanted to replenish his AK-47's bullets more.
Even with careful conservation, he only had forty-five rounds left; once those were gone, it would truly be just a stick for burning.
However, this Barrett could probably be given to Ganyu.
It would be a shame for Liyue's Sniper God not to be equipped with a top-tier anti-materiel sniper rifle.
Imagining Ganyu, miles away, headshotting Osial's head with a single shot.
While shouting "For Jiang Xuan."
That would be quite satisfying.
The truly good item was the Vampiric Scepter...
One of the three scepters dropped by the Lich, the big boss of the Twilight Forest.
An absolutely top-tier weapon.
This item, without exaggeration, was the top staff-type weapon in the Twilight Forest mod.
It had no elemental attacks, and its maximum damage was only three points, which was lower than even a Wooden Sword, let alone a Battōjutsu Sword or firearms.
However, for Jiang Xuan, neither the Scepter of Twilight nor the Zombie Scepter was as powerful as this Vampiric Scepter.
The Vampiric Scepter's ability, as its name suggested, was:
Lifesteal!
Used on other creatures, it could forcibly levitate them, draining their life to replenish his own health and hunger.
Although the damage was low, the attack frequency was quite high.
And the creature whose life was drained would be afflicted with a slow debuff.
Essentially, it was a weapon that was as irritating as could be.
Once entangled by it, death might be slow, but every second would be torture.
Watching one's life force rapidly decline, entering the opponent's body and becoming their strength.
This kind of torment was indescribable for intelligent beings.
And even if they wanted to fight back...
The Vampiric Scepter would also levitate them, and even if they landed, they would still have the slow debuff.
They wouldn't be able to catch up to the Vampiric Scepter user in a million years.
A top-tier kiting weapon, a top-tier tormenting weapon.
The most absurd thing was that this item would never break due to depleted durability!
Or rather, its durability was its energy bar.
If the durability ran out, it could be refilled with a Fermented Spider Eye.
As for Fermented Spider Eyes...
For alchemy potions, Jiang Xuan would have to make several chests full.
The Vampiric Scepter, aside from facing the Wither Storm and Ender Dragon, was an invincible nuisance weapon without other mods.
And in Teyvat...
It would be absolute torture.
Jiang Xuan had previously told Zhongli he wanted a Vision, simply because he wanted attacks with special abilities.
Elemental Energy was his first choice at the time.
As for now...
He, Jiang Xuan!
A Blood-Attribute Archon!
His only ability: Lifesteal!
No matter if the opponent was an Archon or a Demon God, just see how abnormal his Vampiric Scepter was!
With this weapon now available, Jiang Xuan would always carry the Vampiric Scepter unless he specifically needed Fire Aspect or Looting.
After all, if its durability ran out, he could just replenish it with a Fermented Spider Eye—zero consumption!
If the Vampiric Scepter was the System's most conscientious material reward this time, then the Lucky Block was the System giving Jiang Xuan a second cheat.
The items produced by the Lucky Block basically encompassed the most precious resources in vanilla Minecraft.
Gold, Diamond, Emerald, Lapis Lazuli... these were nothing.
Ender Pearls, Eyes of Ender, top-tier enchanted tools, weapons, armor...
Even things like Beacons could be obtained from later Lucky Block modules.
Of course, if he was unlucky, getting Zombies, Skeletons, or Creepers was a minor issue.
Activated TNT, End Crystals, and the like were also minor issues.
If he was truly unlucky...
Zombie Bob in full enchanted diamond armor, a Giant Zombie with a hundred health, trap chests, falling into The Void...
Even various deadly prisons were within the unlucky range.
Jiang Xuan's luck had never been particularly good, but he still felt that the Lucky Block was the System giving him a cheat.
As for why...
He looked down at the cute Ganyu.
Jiang Xuan initiated communication with the System in his mind.
"System, what kind of block is this?"
"Louder, I can't hear you!"
