"Finally… I've gathered enough!"
Inside a small wooden cabin that stood out jarringly from its surroundings.
Jiang Xuan stumbled out of a glowing portal.
He was covered in dust, his clothes tattered, looking like a unlucky adventurer who had been robbed by Hilichurls.
He painstakingly pushed wooden blocks to pile outside the door.
Gazing at the small mountain of wood piled before him, Jiang Xuan was filled with emotion.
A year ago, after furiously grinding through the Aranyaka, Golden Slumber, eight Story Quests, and fourteen Hangout Events…
Jiang Xuan found himself transmigrated to Teyvat.
To be precise, to Liyue's Chasm.
He understood this the moment he saw a purple cat-headed figure furiously hacking at an Electro Slime, dealing immune damage.
As for the System…
Could you even call yourself a transmigrator without a system?
The moment he landed, Jiang Xuan activated his system.
But why would a transmigrator with a system end up in such a sorry state?
Well… that's another story.
"Settle up, System…"
Jiang Xuan walked to the pond and squatted down to wash up. Today was another day he barely escaped with his life.
"Ding! Calculating… wood obtained, achievement unlocked."
"Novice mission complete, System officially bound. Reward: Steve's physique, reward: Yamato (Katana) from Blades of the Realm mod, firearm: AK47."
"Ding! Next stage achievement: Monster Hunter, attack and kill one hundred monsters."
Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched. He wiped his face, not paying attention to his rewards, but rather saying with a hint of melancholy:
"Sure enough… it's multiplied by a hundred again…"
This was why a transmigrator, despite having a system, lived such a miserable life.
Jiang Xuan's system was called the MC Dual-World Gate System.
As the name suggested, it allowed Jiang Xuan to travel between Minecraft (MC) and Teyvat.
Of course, not only could Jiang Xuan travel through the dual-world gate himself, but he could also bring others along.
However, Jiang Xuan had never considered bringing others.
At least, not until he gained the power to protect his secret.
Genshin Impact was a game rated 12+, which didn't mean Teyvat was a beautiful, childish fairy tale world.
It wasn't a place where everyone you met was a moral paragon, and every interaction was cordial.
Such a world would be too fake.
A vibrant, living world naturally contained darkness and violence.
At the very least, in Jiang Xuan's view, Hilichurls and Treasure Hoarders were killers.
This was also why he had been holed up in the Chasm for the past year.
No other reason, just for safety!
Jiang Xuan was an old schemer who deeply understood the Way of Cowardice.
Don't be fooled by how the Chasm in the game was full of black mud, Abyss Mages, Treasure Hoarders, and Hilichurls.
In reality, as Liyue's most important ore producing area, and connected to Sumeru, the Chasm's security was actually better than Inazuma City, though not quite as good as Liyue Harbor.
The Millelith patrolled day in and day out, powerful Vision holders were present.
From time to time, one of the Qixing would even visit to reinforce the seals.
At least, outside the Chasm, it was very safe.
For the past year, Jiang Xuan had mostly stayed indoors, focusing on chopping enough hundred pieces of wood.
However, Jiang Xuan's identity was special. In Teyvat, he was either a Descender or a traveler from another land.
While the various nations had encountered many such individuals, they still paid attention to them.
Because of this, Jiang Xuan had met Keqing and Ganyu, and their relationships were quite good.
In fact, due to his modern way of thinking, Jiang Xuan got along very well with Keqing. Keqing had always wanted to recruit him to her team.
Working together to realize the dream of Liyue governed by humans, 007-style.
Keqing had also mentioned many times that she could escort Jiang Xuan to Liyue Harbor.
However, Jiang Xuan politely declined.
Firstly, Liyue Harbor was crowded and had too many eyes. Secondly, the journey was too far.
From the Chasm to Liyue Harbor, it would take nearly two months of travel.
He didn't have time to waste on the road.
Thirdly… if he went to Liyue, he'd have to work for Keqing, and Keqing's workload…
Even the King of Hell would shake his head.
After going back and forth, Jiang Xuan simply built a small house in the Chasm and lived there, making progress in the MC world every day.
Chopping a hundred wooden blocks seemed simple, something one could do with a flick of the wrist.
Jiang Xuan, at the time, certainly thought so.
But in practice, it was incredibly difficult.
Each wooden block, a cubic meter, was solid wood that Jiang Xuan chopped.
A single solid wood block, no exaggeration, weighed several hundred kilograms.
Jiang Xuan, an ordinary person, almost died chopping the trees. How could he possibly move blocks of that weight?
Not to mention, zombies and Creepers would constantly harass him.
Zombies that could be easily defeated with a wooden sword in the game were truly unstoppable with even a gentle push when faced in reality.
Moreover, Jiang Xuan couldn't even craft a wooden sword.
If you ask why…
Crafting a wooden sword required a crafting table. Crafting a crafting table required picking up four blocks.
Four blocks meant several tons; he didn't even have a Vision, so how was he supposed to craft anything with his head!
Even those wooden blocks were painstakingly dragged and pushed out, one by one…
However, after a year, Jiang Xuan finally completed the novice achievement.
"All in all, I got Steve's physique, so now I have the power to protect myself…"
Jiang Xuan sighed, casually clenched his fist, and then slammed it heavily onto the ground.
A rumbling sound accompanied by thick dust spread out.
The ground was left with a massive, bottomless crater, hundreds of meters in diameter.
Jiang Xuan patted the dust off himself and glanced back.
Hmm…
His home was gone…
But the good news was that those hundred wooden blocks, inheriting the illogical properties of the MC world, were now floating in the air.
"If I mine more, maybe I can build a Jade Chamber?"
Jiang Xuan pinched his chin, not surprised by the immense power of Steve's physique.
This was within his expectations.
The great god Steve, who could carry nine stacks of bedrock blocks on his person and another twenty-seven stacks in his backpack.
His strength attribute was truly boundless.
However, pure strength alone wasn't enough for Jiang Xuan to be arrogant.
He knew that with Steve's physique, no one in this world could defeat him in terms of pure strength.
But there were many ways to kill a person.
No matter how strong Steve was, he couldn't withstand lava or drowning.
Coincidentally, Teyvat was a world rich in elements.
All sorts of bizarre methods were countless.
Therefore, the path of 'cowardice' had no end.
As for the remaining two rewards, the Yamato (Katana) from Blades of the Realm mod needed no explanation; in any version, it was considered one of the top-tier katanas.
A demon blade-grade Yamato also saved Jiang Xuan the trouble of crafting it.
Later, when the Blades of the Realm mod was activated, he would just need to spend some effort forging it.
This way, Jiang Xuan would have powerful offensive capabilities. Dimensional Slashes and Phantom Swords, these two abilities, were enough for him to conquer Teyvat.
Not to mention, a Katana could also fly.
As for the AK47…
"Isn't this just a pure intelligence tax!"
Jiang Xuan looked at the pitch-black, deadly weapon with a helpless expression.
A rifle from a firearms mod, imbued with MC characteristics, was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
But the problem was…
"Where are the bullets? Where are the bullets?"
Jiang Xuan clutched his forehead and complained:
"System, without a firearms mod, where am I supposed to find bullets!"
This AK47, apart from its three自带magazines and ninety bullets, had absolutely nothing else.
But with the firearms mod not yet active and no mines, Jiang Xuan couldn't replenish bullets. Each one used was one less.
"Forget it, at least it can save my life. Next… should I find people to clear the wilderness with?"
Jiang Xuan pondered, pinching his chin.
Completely oblivious to the purple cat-headed figure above the pit, staring at him in shock.
"Jiang Xuan!"
Keqing's voice suddenly came from above. Jiang Xuan looked up.
A flash of lightning appeared beside him, and by the time he reacted, Keqing was already standing there.
Unrestrained joy was visible on her delicate face.
"Jiang Xuan, you're amazing, you actually smashed out such a huge pit…"
Jiang Xuan gave a dry laugh and said casually:
"Just some unexpected gains…"
"Mm-hmm!"
Keqing nodded seriously, saying with a relieved expression:
"I knew it! Someone with your thoughts and awareness would never be ordinary! It seems you've obtained a Geo Vision!"
"Could it be that the Archon also approves of your theories? Approves of our governance by humans? This is truly wonderful!"
A Vision?
Jiang Xuan scratched his head awkwardly.
Could foreigners really obtain Visions?
"What's wrong, Jiang Xuan? Are you troubled by the Vision?"
A hint of understanding flashed in Keqing's eyes, and then she confidently patted Jiang Xuan's shoulder.
"Don't worry, even though I have an Electro Vision, I do know two Geo Vision wielders."
"Come back to Liyue Harbor with me! I'll ask them to teach you!"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, saying with some embarrassment:
"Actually, I don't…"
"It's not a Geo Vision?"
The decisive Keqing wouldn't give Jiang Xuan a chance to speak slowly. She immediately said with some distress:
"But if it's not a Geo Vision, how could it cause such strong destruction to the earth?"
Jiang Xuan pursed his lips and asked tentatively:
"Is there a possibility… that I don't have a Vision, and I just smashed it out with pure strength?"
"Impossible!"
Keqing flatly denied it.
"On the continent of Teyvat, there is no one with such immense power. Even the old man Rex Lapis isn't that strong without using elemental power!"
"Don't joke around, Jiang Xuan, what element did you get?"
Seeing Keqing's expectant look, Jiang Xuan didn't say much more.
To the people of this world, perhaps immense power equated to being a Vision wielder.
He didn't want to be special. Historical experience told him that those who tried to be special always met a bad end.
After a moment of thought, Jiang Xuan raised the AK47 in his hand and said with certainty:
"I am… a Pyro Vision wielder!"
