After chatting with Zhongli for a while, Xiao also hurried back.
Jiang Xuan glanced at the dust-covered Xiao and basically confirmed it.
Xiao couldn't fly.
After all, if he could fly, Xiao would have flown back.
Then he wouldn't need to continuously use Wind Wheel Step twice!
Next, he needed to find an opportunity to test if the glider could support flight.
Jiang Xuan thought the chances were pretty high.
After all, MC rejected Xiao and their adeptal and elemental powers.
But it shouldn't reject products of technology like gliders.
It's just that Keqing and the others usually had means of travel and didn't really need gliders.
Jiang Xuan also hadn't found an opportunity yet.
When he returned this time, he would ask Ningguang to help him find a pair.
"Lord Geo Archon, Mr. Jiang Xuan."
Seeing Zhongli and Jiang Xuan, and with no one else around, Xiao simply stopped concealing himself.
Anyway, looking at Jiang Xuan's expression, he already knew Zhongli's identity.
In contrast, Xiao was more interested in the aerial structure that had risen behind the villa.
It was too shocking.
They had been out for less than an hour.
Yet such a massive project had been built?
And it looked like Jiang Xuan and Zhongli had been drinking tea for a long time.
He guessed it was because they ran out of materials and had to come down.
Thinking of this, Xiao quickly handed Jiang Xuan three stacks of stone.
"Mr. Jiang Xuan, is this enough? The stone over there has almost been dug up. If I continue, I considered that I would enter the mine, so I came back first."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This… isn't quite enough. I plan to build a 50x50 area, which needs at least two thousand five hundred blocks…"
Xiao looked a bit awkward, pursed his lips, and said urgently:
"Then I'll go up the mountain to dig!"
Seeing Xiao about to turn and leave, Jiang Xuan quickly called out to him.
"Wait a moment, no need."
Xiao looked at Jiang Xuan somewhat confused.
"Going back and forth is too troublesome. The blocks you brought are enough to build a small platform."
"As for the remaining stone, go to the platform and build a stone generator to mine."
With that, Jiang Xuan found an iron bucket and handed it to Xiao.
"Please go to the village and get a bucket of lava, Xiao."
"Lava?"
Xiao thought for a moment, then realized:
"It's the one I saw when I came before. I understand. I'll go now."
As soon as his voice fell, Xiao, carrying the bucket, ran out in a hurry again.
Looking at Xiao's hurried back, Jiang Xuan pinched his chin and muttered:
"I always feel… that Xiao seems much livelier since coming to this world."
Zhongli couldn't help but chuckle.
When did the decisive Yaksha, the Vigilant Yaksha, become someone who could be described as lively?
However, Zhongli inexplicably felt that Jiang Xuan's statement was correct.
Xiao indeed seemed more energetic than in Teyvat.
"Should I call Tianquan and the others back? From your plan, our workload seems quite large."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan shook his head.
"Let them play for a while. We'll finish this little thing soon."
"It seems you also have a soft spot for women, but… treating men and women differently can be a bit annoying."
Zhongli pursed his lips. Although he didn't mind Jiang Xuan making him work, and even enjoyed being treated as an ordinary person while knowing each other's identities.
But being treated as manual labor was clearly not a pleasant memory.
Jiang Xuan blinked, spread his hands and said:
"Then, Lord Rex Lapis, please trouble yourself to use your Archon power to directly create an aerial platform for me."
Zhongli's face froze. He turned his head and feigned indifference:
"The saying from your hometown is good: 'Destiny is determined by Heaven, but success depends on human effort.' Self-reliance is a beautiful virtue of humanity."
Jiang Xuan pouted.
Zhongli was talking about Xiao, yet wasn't he himself much livelier since coming to this world?
In that short time, Xiao had already returned with the lava.
Fortunately, they had been shown how to operate it earlier.
"Lord Geo Archon, Mr. Jiang Xuan, I apologize for the wait."
Going back and forth, Xiao didn't feel tired. He carefully carried a bucket of lava.
His eyes still held some shock.
"Although I've seen Mr. Jiang Xuan carry lava in an iron bucket before, it still feels very magical to do it myself."
"Lord Geo Archon, I have an idea."
Jiang Xuan took the iron bucket and put it in his backpack, subconsciously interjecting.
"Don't mention it if it's too bold."
"???"
Xiao looked at Jiang Xuan in confusion. After a moment, he said softly:
"When I explored earlier, I found that the lava here is extremely hot. Even the most solid crystal ore would probably melt if thrown into it."
"Lord Geo Archon, I was wondering, combining the unique feature of this world where lava can spread extensively, is it possible…"
"To cast fortifications with lava?"
Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched.
No wonder he was a Yaksha; his killing intent was too great.
In a little while, Xiao might even want to carry a bucket of lava to exorcise demons.
No matter if you were a Pyro Abyss Mage or a Pyro Slime.
One bucket of lava would leave no trace of material.
Pyro immunity?
Then are you immune to lava?!
Shaking his head, Jiang Xuan didn't comment on Xiao's idea.
He silently climbed up to the high platform.
Zhongli also thought carefully for a while, then replied:
"It might be very useful at certain times, but for now, let's forget it."
"Let's explore this world first."
"Xiao, follow us."
With that, Zhongli also skillfully climbed up to the high platform.
Xiao quickly called out.
"Lord Geo Archon, be careful! You can't fly here. Falling will cause injury!"
Hearing this, Zhongli paused, somewhat worriedly looking down.
"You fell and got injured just now?"
Xiao nodded, a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, Lord Geo Archon. It was just a bone fracture. It doesn't affect my movement, and my hunger is full, just like Mr. Jiang Xuan said."
"When my hunger is full, I will recover from injuries after a while. But I didn't fall from a great height. This structure is too high."
"Lord Geo Archon, please be careful!"
Hearing Xiao say this, Zhongli relaxed and shook his head helplessly.
"You should be the one who's careful… Come up. We'll still need you for the construction later."
Need me?
One sentence instantly filled Xiao with motivation.
Just like during the Archon War, Xiao nodded with a serious expression.
He closely followed Zhongli's steps.
Forty blocks high, overall not too high or too low. It took about half a minute to climb.
This was also a peculiarity of this world.
Especially, don't think it's just one ladder segment. If he hadn't been foolish enough to jump down, he would have been fine.
Clinging to it was steady and stable, absolutely no danger.
Before long, the three successfully reached the summit.
Xiao looked around in disbelief.
"Standing on top, it feels even more breathtaking… Did you and Lord Geo Archon really build this in an hour?"
Jiang Xuan smiled, correcting him:
"To be precise, it was over half an hour. We came down when we ran out of materials."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. You'll understand once you build something yourself."
Saying this, Jiang Xuan distributed a stack of stone to each of them.
"Repeating again, crouch at the edge to place stones. That's safer."
"Also, Zhongli and I will be responsible for continuing to expand outwards on both sides. We'll come back after laying fifty blocks horizontally."
"Xiao, you'll be responsible for filling in based on this, quickly building a platform large enough to stand and move on."
Looking at the somewhat magnificent structure, Xiao nodded solemnly.
"I understand! I will not disappoint Mr. Jiang Xuan's expectations!"
With that, he seriously crouched at the edge and began to stack blocks.
Seeing Xiao so serious, Jiang Xuan felt a little strange.
He always felt…
…like a child building blocks…
Shaking his head, he greeted Zhongli and went straight to work.
