"What… just happened?"
Alice looked at Jack in astonishment.
Just now, she felt as if her brain had been severely hammered by something, and countless violent emotions suddenly surged in her heart, almost causing her to attack Jack.
"From my perspective, it was a bug in the system, which then fixed itself through the system's own logical consistency."
In simple terms, it was this:
As a person with only Teyvat settings but no physical form, Alice was born from the fusion of the Minecraft World, so she possessed characteristics of both worlds.
On one hand, she was a background character from the Genshin Impact game that hadn't been released yet. On the other hand, she was a crucial five-star Boss in the Minecraft World.
Jack's Maid Charm contracted the former, while the latter triggered the "summon" condition when Jack deciphered Alice's identity, entering a Boss battle.
However, because the Maid itself belonged to Jack and could not harm its master, it conflicted with the Boss template and fell into a bug.
Subsequently, the two systems competed, and the Maid system emerged victorious. That's roughly what happened.
After listening to the explanation.
Alice suddenly understood.
"So that's it! Does that mean I don't have to go back outside the world to guard Teyvat, and I can play with little Klee every day?"
"Most likely not."
Jack opened her Boss panel for Alice to see.
It stated:
Void Outworld Witch, a Boss corresponding to the Void Lord, whose purpose is to prevent Teyvat from being invaded by the Dark Void and thus falling into the The End.
The unfinished plot hook by MiHoYo was filled in by the MC system using the The End Creation module.
"Void Lord? The End? These are all unfamiliar terms."
"Let's kiss again."
Jack suddenly said.
"Oh, why do you want to do this again, Klee's father, you're so… shy~"
Alice shyly patted Jack's chest.
Jack didn't want to explain further; it was all in the kiss.
So he picked up Alice and domineeringly went in for a kiss.
This time, he didn't indulge in enjoyment, but instead infused MC's knowledge through condensed Aralia Element Power into the kiss.
Alice only felt countless images and information streams pass through her mind, and in an instant, she understood many things.
Smooch~
Their lips parted, and Jack wiped the drool from Alice's face, saying, "You understand now, right? Until I complete the achievement of liberating the The End, your duty as the Gatekeeper must continue. The sleeping Heavenly Principles cannot withstand the invasion of another five-star Boss. We don't want Teyvat to be destroyed by the Abyss only to be corroded by MC first."
"Alright, then Klee's father, you must complete this achievement soon, and then rescue your wife from eternal suffering!"
"Of course, even if not for Klee, for you, it should be so."
"Hehehe, Klee's father is so good with words. Could it be that you are so affectionate with every girl?"
"I just did what I should do. You'll have to ask them about their specific feelings."
The two smiled at each other.
Alice's heavy mood also relaxed, and she tightly hugged Jack's neck.
This feeling of reliance wasn't bad at all!
...
Mondstadt City.
Albedo's alchemy workshop.
The Chief Alchemist of Mondstadt, Albedo, frowned slightly and looked up at the sky with a hint of doubt.
Just now, a familiar aura had descended.
If he was not mistaken, that woman had returned.
"Hi hi! Little Albedo, Mommy's back! Did you miss Mommy after all this time!"
As expected.
Just as Albedo was about to continue his research, the door was blown open by a magic cannon, and the Witch BBA, with red and gold colors, appeared.
"Aunt Elys, long time no see. Traveler, long time no see too."
Albedo skillfully stepped forward and placed one hand on the ground.
The earth surged, instantly repairing the door and wall that Aunt Elys had destroyed.
Jack watched this move with interest, feeling that Albedo's mastery of manipulating Rock Element Power could easily pass him off as the Rock King Emperor returned in the next door, probably swindling billions of mora at least.
"It hasn't been that long. Here, little Albedo, this is a souvenir."
Jack thought for a moment and took out an Electric Dragon Heart from his backpack.
The current situation was different; his and Alice's marital status was confirmed, making him Albedo's adoptive father in terms of relationship.
So, using scraps like dragon bones or scales from before wouldn't be appropriate to fool others. Anyway, there were plenty of wild Level 3 dragons (consumables) at home, and killing them wouldn't even make him feel bad.
"Dragon Heart!!"
Albedo and Alice exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.
This was a top-grade material for making bombs!
Alice quickly stood in front of Albedo and said, "Hmm, little Albedo, this Dragon Heart is too dangerous. It shouldn't be given to children to play with. Although your father gave it to you, for your safety, Mommy will keep it for you."
After saying that, Alice snatched the Electric Dragon Heart from Jack's hand, her face instantly blooming with joy as if filled with flowers.
"This…"
Albedo looked at Alice with a pained expression.
What could he say? Did he think that something that entered Aunt Elys's aunt's pocket would ever be returned? The Traveler didn't seem to lack this item, so maybe he could find an opportunity to buy it for him later, even if it cost tens of billions of mora or more, he would accept it!
"No! What did Aunt Elys ask me to call him just now?"
Suddenly, Albedo's attention shifted back from the Electric Dragon's heart. His poker face, usually as cold as ice, showed a clear expression of shock.
He hadn't noticed when Alice interrupted them earlier, but these two were actually holding hands, fingers intertwined!
Rhinedottir above, is today a day for pranking others? Why does this feel so unreal!
Albedo fell into deep thought.
"Ahem, don't listen to Alice's nonsense. The 'dad' title is just for Klee to use. You and I are still buddies; we'll each stick to our own terms."
Jack patted Albedo's shoulder.
Then he took another Ice Dragon heart from his bag and put it in Albedo's hand.
"Traveler… Uncle, this is too precious! I can't accept it! It should still go to Alice…"
"I told you to take it, so take it!"
Jack glared at Alice, who was standing nearby, giving Albedo a suggestive look.
Alice immediately changed her expression, rubbing against him like a cat, a fawning smile on her face.
Albedo lowered his head, not daring to look at the scene, fearing that even artificial humans would have nightmares at night.
Then Jack's voice, like a heavenly melody, rang out above him.
"The alchemy conversion machine you made, Albedo, helped me a lot, and many subsequent research topics were also pointed out by me. Although I previously gave you giant dragon materials that I thought were sufficient compensation, I was actually the one taking advantage."
"Technology and knowledge are priceless. You deserve this Dragon Heart!"
"Uncle Jack!"
Albedo tremblingly accepted the heart, which condensed a massive amount of magical power, feeling his artificial human emotional processing terminal begin to activate.
Although Aunt Elys often caused him trouble, Jack, this wealthy and generous divine godfather, Albedo approved of him!
