"Miscalculation!"
"A serious miscalculation!"
When Jack excitedly led the Strategy team to the Iron Maiden,
the quiet surroundings made him remember —
this world was in peaceful mode!
"Jack! Another reward chest found here!"
"Hmm, good."
Jack replied weakly,
then jogged to Keqing's side.
Above a Piglin Brute spawner, a golden reward chest was suspended.
Although he had just complained that his combat power was useless here,
Jack was still very happy to get things for free.
So he opened the reward chest.
The chest changed from gold to white, indicating it was open.
The items inside were then displayed.
[Gold Ingot]
[Iron Ingot]
[Golden Horse Armor]
[Diamond Horse Armor]
[Magic Mirror]
[Bread]
[Pumpkin Pie]
...
Keqing saw that Jack's expression was a bit off, so she asked,
"What's wrong? Are the items not to your liking?"
"I can't really say. It's probably like 'tasteless to eat, but a shame to discard.'"
Jack put the items into his diamond backpack.
He singled out the Magic Mirror and threw it to Keqing.
Keqing took the Magic Mirror, which had a white frame and a blue mirror body.
Aside from not reflecting a person's image, this mirror was quite beautiful.
[Magic Mirror]
[Teleports the player to their spawn point (cross-dimensional, no durability, has cooldown)]
"Its effect seems quite powerful, but it only seems to teleport one person?"
"Or I could put you all into the Serenitea Pot first, and then I'd use it."
"But if that's the case, would there be enough time to use it in an emergency?"
"So it's quite a useless item."
After putting the Magic Mirror away, the two quickly caught up with Ganyu, who was walking ahead.
"H-Husband... did you open anything good?"
Ganyu asked, her face flushed.
Jack rubbed the pair of fleshy horns on her head: "As expected, it's useless. Also, you can call me whatever you're used to; there's no need to force yourself to learn from Shen He."
"Phew~ Then... I'll still call you Traveler."
"Alright."
Ganyu let out a sigh of relief, a relaxed smile appearing on her face.
Honestly, with her shy personality, if she were to express affection constantly like Shen He, she'd probably be so embarrassed she'd want to commit suicide.
Speaking of Shen He, where is she?
Ganyu saw that her junior sister beside her had disappeared and quickly looked around.
Then she saw her at the end of the path ahead.
Shen He was squatting beside an Iron Maiden, staring at the rotating Piglin Brute inside, where a red glow seemed to flicker.
"Hmph!"
The Calamity Queller lunged forward with a sharp thrust.
Clang!
However, the monster spawner was unharmed; instead, Shen He herself was bounced back four or five meters by the recoil.
At this moment, Jack and the others had already joined her.
"Husband, there's a monster in here, but I can't kill it."
"Try this 'weapon'?"
Jack tossed his diamond pickaxe to Shen He.
Shen He held the diamond pickaxe and tilted her head, "This is... a weapon?"
Keqing rolled her eyes at Jack's random definition and explained for him: "He's talking nonsense. A monster spawner is a building block, similar in material to iron. It's very difficult to mine with ordinary weapons. A pickaxe is specifically for mining, which is why it can easily destroy it."
Shen He mimicked Keqing's movements and swung the pickaxe a few times at the Piglin Brute monster spawner.
Visibly, cracks appeared on the spawner's surface.
In just a few swings, it shattered directly, dropping two purple Trial Certificates.
Shen He's eyes lit up: "This weapon is useful!"
Keqing rubbed her forehead: "I told you it's not a weapon..."
Then she glared at Jack: "It's all your fault! If the graceful Shen He starts hitting people with a pickaxe in the future, you're definitely the culprit."
Jack imagined Shen He facing the Treasure Hoarders or the Fatui with a diamond pickaxe.
She'd probably kill them and then bury them on the spot.
It would be a one-stop service.
"Promising! The Hall of Wangsheng is missing a guest elder like you."
Shen He nodded, thinking she would practice her pickaxe techniques when they returned, to see if she could develop a practical skill set.
"But let's leave the other monster spawners for later; I have a use for them."
"What's the use of monster spawners? Aren't they for collecting Trial Certificates after destroying them?" Keqing asked, puzzled.
"It's my fault; I've always been too timid to turn on world difficulty. In reality, monster spawners are quite useful. Experience is one aspect, but monster drops are the main event."
Jack began his MC Popular Science lecture again.
"The Piglin Brutes in the Iron Maiden have a chance to drop Netherite Scrap or Netherite Ingots. These are rare items that even the general store doesn't have. I plan to increase the difficulty in the next few days and then farm the Piglin Brutes here until the monster spawners self-destruct."
"Because there's a mod called Tetra in the dragon's adventure integration pack, you can use Netherite Ingots to craft special weapons that surpass ordinary Dragonsteel Swords."
The Tetra mod, an equipment forging mod.
The first time Jack played the dragon's adventure integration pack, he overlooked this item and just blundered his way through, relying entirely on the Starshine Magic's Armor Lord to stack the thickest armor and slowly grind his way to the Yama.
After defeating the Ender Dragon and reaching the End City, he was killed by the Void Lord from tens of thousands of miles away, ending his first save file.
He then looked up guides offline to supplement his knowledge.
That's when he discovered this abnormal mod called Tetra.
This mod allows for the modularization of various weapon parts, which can then be DIY assembled and crafted by adding different materials.
For example, if the base is a diamond sword, you can modify the blade into a two-handed greatsword, which greatly increases attack damage, reduces attack speed, and comes with a built-in sweeping edge.
If modified into a dagger, it increases sharpness, attack speed, and reduces damage, among other effects.
The hilt can be wrapped with materials like dragon scales, providing amplification effects to the weapon.
