After bringing Yoimiya home, Jack decided to temporarily delay his journey in Inazuma.
The reason was the special blueprint gifted as an achievement reward: Sky City.
According to the Minecraft World system's usual behavior, manor-style buildings could all be named "Cabin."
Jack could guess with his toes that this so-called Sky City would probably truly reach the level of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of square kilometers of a former city's central urban area.
So, for the planning of the move, he still needed to consult his wives.
...
At the lunch table.
Everyone basically sat together, divided into three groups according to their national cultural backgrounds.
First was Keqing, the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing. As the authority in charge of land and real estate, it was best for her to open up everyone's thinking.
"Since I've been called upon, I'll briefly say a few words to everyone... (2000 words omitted)...
In summary, regarding the site selection for Sky City, I believe the primary consideration should be natural environment and other factors, as for so-called transportation, supporting facilities, and other factors.
I believe that with the presence of teleport waypoints and Jack's grass element construction ability, these can be secondary conditions."
"Climate, indeed, this is a relatively important parameter, but the Minecraft World rules are somewhat special. What affects the climate is the location and height of the block. You need to pay attention to this."
Minecraft World has no universe; the stars in the sky are no less fake than Teyvat's false sky.
Although he hadn't ventured out, Jack felt that if he didn't use a module with a cosmic background, those celestial bodies would probably truly just be textures.
Without the settings of the sun, earth, and other planets, there was no seasonal change caused by rotation and revolution.
Therefore, the real Minecraft World seasonal climate was planned by region.
If an area was snow, then it would be permanently set to winter. If an area was Desert, it would be permanently set to summer.
Occasionally, there would be special terrain.
For example, at the junction of snow and Desert, it would be an extremely flat tundra landscape composed of frozen soil and gravel.
Or, for example, when mountains reached a certain height, the peak would become a snowy landscape.
"As for the climate, this area is quite good, like spring all year round, very suitable for living."
Jean of the Mondstadt team spoke, then Mona stepped forward to supplement.
"Jack, does Sky City have mountains, or tall towers? Can I build a Starlight Altar there?"
"You want to utilize starlight energy more efficiently, right? No problem, I approve."
Jack was always generous with the arrangements for these two research-oriented wives. He decided to allocate an area specifically for Mona to use as an observatory.
"But then the problem arises, how do we ensure that after placing Sky City, it won't turn into a snowy landscape due to excessive height?"
Ningguang raised a crucial question.
Everyone had already seen the images of Sky City.
That gigantic island, so vast that its edges couldn't be seen, truly deserved the name "city," measuring several hundred square kilometers.
Lifting and placing such a behemoth was not a simple matter, so the landing spot needed to be chosen carefully.
"It seems we still need to measure the height parameters of the high mountain terrain."
"I'll go. I'm more familiar with high mountain areas."
Mona raised her hand, taking on the task of measuring the height.
Jack nodded, thus roughly settling the location of Sky City.
The location would be above the birch forest next to Linjian Cabin. After Mona's high mountain snow terrain data was measured, the giant island would be placed in the sky at a height that would not generate snow.
Once the location was determined, everyone began discussing other matters.
For example, how to arrange the buildings above after Sky City was placed.
From the blueprints, the existing buildings actually occupied less than 10 square kilometers. They were a giant castle in the center of Sky City, a true city within a city.
All the land beyond that was barren, clearly reserved by the system for players to use their imagination and develop themselves.
And regarding how to develop, everyone truly expressed their own opinions.
Klee said: "It needs an amusement park!"
Eula said: "It needs a training ground!"
Paimon said: "It needs a farm and a ranch!"
Kamisato Ayaka said: "It needs a kendo dojo!"
Yae Miko said: "It needs hot springs, a beach, and a shrine!"
Ningguang said: "It needs a resort with small bridges, flowing water, and lotus ponds."
But Hutao said: "It needs a cemetery!"
"??? " × N
...
Two hours later.
The family meeting concluded.
Those with their own ideas gradually left, preparing to return to Teyvat and use their connections to design their own exclusive area.
Of course, excluding the children and Hutao.
"What the heck! Everyone actually ganged up and rejected my proposal! It was clearly a very good suggestion!"
Hutao kicked at imaginary pebbles, looking sullen.
Jack was busy helping Klee design her amusement park. He looked up for a moment and replied to her.
"What do you mean 'good suggestion'? Almost everyone here is the type who won't die unless they're killed. Putting a cemetery at home is not only unsettling, but if someone really died and was buried there, could the amusement park, hot springs, or resort still be enjoyed happily?"
"Hmm... You're right. We are all people who defy the natural order of yin and yang. A cemetery, a resting place prepared for ordinary people in the cycle of life and death, is indeed unsuitable. We need to think of another way."
Unfortunately, Director Hu didn't listen to Jack's opinion at all.
She thought of one thing and then another, going off to ponder a resting place for immortal beings.
"Death... I hate it... Qiqi doesn't want to be separated from big brother."
"Eh? Klee doesn't either! Daddy won't abandon Klee, right?"
"Hmph! You guy, I just don't want Klee and Qiqi to be sad, so... so you're not allowed to abandon any of us!"
The three little ones were emotionally affected by Hutao's words and also became mournful.
Six adorable pairs of eyes stared at him, causing Jack a lot of psychological pressure.
"Did you three forget? Hutao's Hu is the Hu of 'nonsense.' Out of ten things she says, nine can't be believed. Without further ado, let's hurry and design our own exclusive amusement park!"
Jack reached out and stroked one loli after another, soothing their worries and fears.
Then, they would use the amusement park to divert attention.
Thanks to Jack's still-retained knowledge of civil engineering, his sketches of carousels, Ferris wheels, rollercoasters, bumper cars, and other amusement rides were incredibly lifelike, quickly drawing the three into a joyful, childlike fantasy world.
In this way, everyone spent a compact and fulfilling afternoon.
Then, night fell.
Jack sat in the hot spring pool, looking at his wives, who had surrounded him in a circle, feeling a bit dazed.
"What do you all mean by this? Are we going to have another marathon? Just a friendly reminder, today is Saturday, and in peace mode, I have infinite stamina."
Everyone shook their heads.
It was Keqing who stepped forward to explain again.
"Because the construction team's energy is limited, and everyone's demands are relatively high, it takes time from designing the blueprints to actual construction, so..."
"So?"
"So everyone wants you to rank them."
Just ranking? You couldn't even decide among yourselves, and asking me wouldn't that also be a way to offend people?
Or is there another way?
Jack asked tentatively.
"Allow me to ask, how exactly will this ranking be done?"
This question immediately made over twenty young women blush, like a scene of competing beauties, and everyone said in unison:
"Of course, whoever tastes the first bite of the Grass Essence ranks first!"
Then, like hungry wolves, they pounced on Jack, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
