Lumine looked at the cool, black-red Flame Core and exclaimed in surprise, "You really found this thing?"
Curiously, she held it in her hand.
A warm sensation immediately emanated from the stone in her hand.
At the same time, she faintly sensed a violent, scorching power within the person in front of her.
Good stuff!
Holding this thing, she could actually sense the Flame element power within others?
Lumine's eyes darted around, and she subtly slipped the Flame Core into her bag.
"Hey, hey, stop right there!"
Jack grabbed her fair wrist.
"Your little hands are a bit unclean. Skill stones and accessories are only useful when you hold them. What if you're so careless you lose them?"
"This... It won't kill anyone to let me play with it for two days. At worst... at worst, I'll let you go dry, alright?"
"???"
What kind of tiger-wolf words were those?
Jack admitted he was a little bit tempted, but that wasn't a reason for Lumine to act recklessly, or else how would he maintain his husbandly authority?
"I wonder if you've ever heard of a term called 'three-pronged approach'?"
"Huh?! Just say it if you want to break me!"
Even the perpetually unsatisfied veteran Lumine was startled by Jack's words.
Her butt tightened, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
But on second thought, occasionally trying new things seemed pretty good?
"Forget it, just once should be fine. Deal!"
"Hehe, deal!"
The two perverts arbitrarily initiated a new version of their marital combat game.
The other three were still in the dark, completely unable to understand what they were saying.
The studious Shen He nudged Ganyu, "Senior Sister, what is a 'three-pronged approach'?"
Ganyu shook her head, "I've only heard of the 'two-pronged approach' in Liyue. I don't understand what these three prongs are."
"Klee knows! Klee knows!"
"!!"
Keqing was almost scared to death by Klee's answer.
It was obvious that these two were discussing something unhealthy. If Klee knew, what then?
"Good girl, Klee, tell Keqing Mommy, what are they?"
"Uh... Klee can't call you Mommy. Mommy said Klee only has one Mommy. Can Klee call you Big Sister Keqing?"
Why was this child so stubborn?
After reluctantly accepting that she was a generation lower than Jack, Klee finally said, "It's coconut milk! The coconut milk Daddy gave me had something called a straw, you put it in your mouth, and you can drink the coconut milk directly! Three prongs must mean he and Big Sister Lumine are going to drink coconut milk with three straws!"
Ding!
At this moment, a lightning bolt flashed through the minds of the three adult women.
The innocent words of a child provided them with material for association.
As women who had all been served by Jack's perverted grass element vines, they instantly realized what the so-called 'three-pronged approach' actually was.
At that moment, Keqing's gaze towards Lumine changed.
This person! She might be even more dangerous than Ningguang!!
...
Dinner concluded.
Jack informed everyone present about the changes that would occur tonight.
"Just now, Keqing and Ganyu also mentioned it to me. Both we and Entara have initially gained the ability to protect ourselves, so we can also relax some previous restrictions."
"So, I plan to adjust the survival mode: Monday to Friday will be easy mode, and Saturday and Sunday will be peace mode... During periods of monster spawning, I'll let Entara's militia run out for drills, and the monster materials obtained can also be used for various survival and research purposes."
"What do you all think?"
Keqing, Ganyu, Ningguang, Lisa, and Eula all answered "Yes" in unison.
This was the tacit understanding of the Goddess Alliance they had formed.
The first phase of the 'squeezing' plan would also be initiated by these five.
Jack didn't constantly read his wives' minds, so he didn't notice the unusual behavior of the women.
"Good! Then let's start executing it now. Today is Monday, so for the next four days, please be prepared for defense. Keqing, Eula, you two come with me to Entara!"
Both of the aforementioned had experience in military training.
Keqing had been responsible for training the Qianyan Army for a period.
Eula, on the other hand, had personally raised a guerrilla knight squad.
For the training of Entara's defense forces, they had more professional and practical suggestions than Jack.
...
Under the high-hanging full moon, in Entara territory.
Jack and the others were giving the Gatekeeper organization members their final instructions for militia patrols.
"That's roughly it. From now on, Monday to Friday will be tough for you all. My house doesn't need patrolling; I've used my authority to isolate a safe zone there, so no need to worry."
"Understood, Creator!"
The Gatekeeper Kirell gave a proper salute, bidding farewell to Jack and the two women.
Then he kicked his companion beside him.
"Uther, the Creator said that the world will change after midnight tonight. The patrol team's mission must not go wrong, understand?!"
"Of course, Kirell, I don't need you to remind me of such things. When it comes to faith in the Creator, I'm no less devout than you."
Sebas watched the two out of the corner of his eye.
He felt relieved.
Ah! What a benevolent Creator! Even the stubborn Kirell and the lax Uther felt faith in our God. This is truly wonderful!
...
On the way home.
Keqing stretched.
"I didn't expect Jack that you could influence the world to such an extent. I thought even we would have to take turns on night watch."
"Heh, those are just some minor tricks. While my MC System is very generous, it doesn't come with a manual. Who cares if it has bugs, as long as it runs."
Jack was currently in a programmer's gambler mindset.
Never mind if the algorithm is correct or not.
As long as it runs and doesn't crash, it's a good algorithm.
Just like the mod he initially cobbled together that prevents monsters from spawning around his home at night.
MC players can quickly skip the night when sleeping, but for him and the girls, this skipped night obviously still exists; it doesn't truly "skip."
So he stole the concept of "sleeping," infinitely extending this non-existent, skipped night, thereby forming a peaceful area around his home where monsters don't spawn.
Once he gains more and more permissions in the future.
It wouldn't be impossible to divide the MC town area into safe zones and PK zones, similar to early online games.
"Got it, my MC System isn't the international version, but a domestic one from Pig Factory."
"What's with all this 'international' and 'domestic' talk? I asked everyone today, and they all said they're very tired, so you'll be sleeping alone."
"Hmm?"
Jack stopped, looking at Keqing in surprise.
What was going on?
Had these wolf-like wives changed their ways? In the past, they couldn't wait to drain him dry, but today they were so quiet. Could it be… something I don't know about has happened?
Just as Jack was about to speculate further, Keqing quickly said, "Oh right, I forgot you and Lumine still have a PY deal. Tonight, you go to her room."
After speaking, Keqing pulled Eula and quickly left.
The Goddess Alliance had clearly excluded Lumine.
Lumine was too carefree; she might accidentally reveal their plan, and if Jack became wary, it would be a loss.
Jack stared at their retreating figures, his eyes narrowing: "Tsk tsk, feels like a conspiracy~"
