About four hundred meters outside the village.
Ningguang sat on a birch block, quietly looking at the crafting recipe book in her hand.
From time to time, she would look up and ponder the workbench in front of her.
The tranquil forest was occasionally punctuated by a bird's song.
Even sitting on a tree stump, she couldn't hide her elegant and unworldly nobility.
With a slight frown, Ningguang muttered to herself.
"Axes, pickaxes, swords... the crafting recipes are all somewhat biased towards outward appearance."
"The records for iron buckets and bows and arrows also seem to be based entirely on shape."
"It seems that many things in this world are formulas that lean towards appearance."
"So, if I want to make brushes, or long spears, it's also primarily about shape, just changing the material composition?"
"Or is it... just these basic tools are operated this way?"
"Interesting... Jiang Xuan has mentioned Redstone technology repeatedly."
"Redstone... Is it possible that this is the most important material in this world? Technology... is it similar to the technology of Snezhnaya and Fontaine?"
"I always feel that if this knowledge were mastered, Liyue would undergo earth-shattering changes."
"Hmm... forget it. When I have time, I'll let Jiang Xuan tell me more crafting recipes. I can try to innovate."
"Nether, End, Ender Dragon, Enchantment, Golden Apple, Potion... I'll note these down first. According to Jiang Xuan's intentions, these should all be very important."
"It's a pity Jiang Xuan isn't planning to go mining yet, so it seems the value of diamond materials won't be explored for a short while."
While contemplating, she took notes on the paper she brought with her.
Before long, Ningguang's notebook was densely filled with writing.
Logically, Ningguang wouldn't use a notebook. She preferred the texture of scrolls and silk.
It's just...
Glancing at the scattered scroll remnants and pipe fragments on the ground, Ningguang sighed.
"My strength is too great... the materials of Teyvat are completely unable to withstand my current power..."
From the moment she sat down to take notes until now, Ningguang had torn twelve scrolls in a short time.
She had worn out seven brushes, and even her favorite pipe was shattered.
Now, Ningguang didn't even dare to take out anything from her Divine Eye space.
The materials of Teyvat truly couldn't withstand her current power!
"Jiang Xuan's strength is truly too great... I'll have to find time to ask him how to control my power..."
Ningguang picked up her pen and wrote down this thought.
Immediately after...
"Crack!"
Glancing at the brush that had turned into fragments in her hand, Ningguang's face showed some embarrassment.
"The eighth one..."
"Heh heh..."
A light chuckle came, and Ningguang turned her head to see Keqing and Ganyu walking together.
"Not used to this power, are you? I was the same before, broke many things."
Keqing stood with her hands on her hips, smiling as she looked at Ningguang.
Ningguang's eyes flickered, and she asked curiously:
"Then how do you control it now?"
Keqing spread her hands, helplessly:
"Do you see me taking out anything from our world after coming here? Not even my weapon, the Lion's Roar."
The Lion's Roar was made of good material.
But...
Keqing's current power, roughly estimated, could lift the Jade Chamber if she returned to Teyvat.
Her weapon really couldn't withstand use!
The first time she came, she accidentally used too much force, and now there's a handprint on the hilt of the Lion's Roar.
Keqing was heartbroken when she went back to look.
Lion's Roar, in Teyvat, was a treasure second only to divine artifacts.
"It seems I still need to find time to research how to make paper in this world."
Ningguang shook her head, putting away her notebook.
"How are things on your side? Have you collected enough materials?"
Ganyu nodded.
"I collected five stacks of sand, and while digging sand, I also dug up half a stack of flint."
"Keqing also dug up six stacks of dirt blocks. That should be enough for Jiang Xuan. We just came to see your progress."
"If there are no problems, we'll go back to find Jiang Xuan. He should be very busy."
Ningguang looked at Ganyu thoughtfully. After a moment, she said softly:
"There are no problems on my side either. Six stacks of wood. But I also had some other gains when I chopped trees..."
Saying this, Ningguang took out a sapling and an apple.
"After I chopped down the tree, after a while, the leaves in the sky disappeared on their own, and some saplings and apples fell down."
"Oh, right, there were also some sticks, but I thought sticks weren't very important, so I didn't pick them up. I don't have much space on me."
"The apples should restore hunger. They taste good. I picked twenty-three."
"As for the saplings..."
Ningguang pondered for a moment, then said softly:
"The trees in this world are very peculiar. I want to try planting them successfully in Teyvat."
Keqing smiled and nodded.
"You can decide this yourself. Jiang Xuan said we can decide what resources to take when we leave."
"However, for iron ore and the like, let's wait until the subsequent exploration team comes in. Jiang Xuan should be very short on these."
Ningguang did not refute this.
She stood up and stretched her waist.
"Let's go back. Oh, right, this workbench..."
"Don't worry about the workbench; just leave it. It's not anything important."
Ganyu explained, then added:
"Jiang Xuan said that things that can be obtained anywhere and crafted on the spot don't need to be carried around and take up space."
Ningguang nodded in agreement, profoundly.
"You're right. Let's go back then. It's almost noon. I wonder if Jiang Xuan plans to eat here or if we'll go back to eat."
Hearing this, Keqing's small face frowned slightly.
"If possible, I think we should eat here. Going back and forth wastes too much time."
"And didn't Jiang Xuan say he planned to finish building the Sky Island today?"
Ganyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Alas! Does Keqing really think that? Building a Sky Island in one day, no matter how you think about it..."
Before she could finish, Ganyu froze.
She stared blankly at the sky above the village, or more precisely, above the manor, where a platform of considerable size had abruptly appeared.
Keqing and Ningguang also followed Ganyu's gaze.
The next moment, Ningguang rubbed her eyes.
"This... really..."
"How is that possible! At most, we've only been gone for about two hours!"
Although Keqing also found it absurd, upon closer thought, she felt she understood.
If Jiang Xuan could build a manor in a day, then building a Sky Island in half a day was not unacceptable.
Perhaps, the progress was even slow.
"This world... is getting more and more miraculous."
Ningguang sighed, and sped up.
"Keqing, Ganyu, let's quickly go back and see if we can help."
The two also came back to their senses. After exchanging glances, they immediately followed Ningguang's footsteps.
Before long, they entered the manor.
Looking at it up close, they found it even more magnificent.
A pillar that reached straight into the sky, as if it had fallen here out of nowhere.
Above...
A colossal platform rested.
And visibly, that platform was still rapidly expanding.
Looking closely, they saw that Jiang Xuan and the two others were enthusiastically stacking blocks.
Dense vines hung down from the edge of the platform. In Keqing and the others' eyes, they were merely decorations.
"Is this how we go up?"
Ganyu curiously pointed at the ladder in front of them.
"It looks like we have to climb..."
Saying this, Ganyu secretly glanced at Ningguang and Keqing's skirts.
She, herself, didn't mind. She wore tight bodysuits year-round.
But Keqing and Ningguang were wearing skirts and cheongsams...
Ningguang also noticed the problem and pinched her chin, looking a little troubled.
"If it were all girls, it would be fine, but..."
"Forget it. I'll tell Jiang Xuan later. Who's climbing first?"
No sooner had she spoken than Keqing eagerly grabbed the ladder and shook it, finding it as sturdy as a rock.
"I'll go first! You two be careful, don't fall!"
With that, she eagerly began to climb.
Fortunately, Ningguang and Ganyu were also familiar with Keqing's style. Without much thought, they followed Keqing up the ladder.
