Ganyu rubbed her eyes over and over again.
She felt that her millennia-old worldview had shattered today on this flying piece of wood.
It wasn't that Teyvat lacked flying materials. The Jade Chamber floating above Liyue Harbor had plenty of floating stones.
But this piece of wood…
It was far more bizarre than floating!
It didn't look like it was floating at all.
It seemed to be growing in the air.
Just like tree roots rooted in the earth, it was rooted in the air.
"What is this?! Is it a floating wood?!"
Keqing stared blankly at the piece of wood.
Jiang Xuan smiled, not answering her confusion.
Instead, Jiang Xuan continued to take out a stack of birch blocks.
Under Keqing and Ganyu's gaze, he jumped in place, placing a birch block under his feet.
Right before their eyes, he stepped on blocks, one step after another, until he stood on the rooftop.
And then…
Jiang Xuan placed a block in front, then turned around and broke all the blocks he used as footholds.
He just stood there lightly on the birch block, which seemed to be rooted in thin air on the rooftop.
Under Keqing and Ganyu's shocked gazes…
He placed a block forward, then turned around and broke it. He continued to place a block forward, then turned around and broke it again…
Jiang Xuan, by continuously alternating two blocks, built a path…
Keqing and Ganyu below watched helplessly as Jiang Xuan repeatedly performed this bizarre act.
No matter that Ganyu had lived for thousands of years, even experiencing the Archon War.
Faced with this situation, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
Where in the world are there wooden blocks that grow in the air!
Judging by Jiang Xuan's posture, if conditions allowed, could he use two blocks to advance alternately, all the way to Inazuma City?
Ganyu was filled with unspoken complaints, not knowing where to begin.
Jiang Xuan saw that his "Newton defying" skill had been demonstrated enough.
So he simply broke the block and jumped down.
He walked to Keqing and Ganyu and waved his hand.
"Snap out of it! Don't be too surprised."
Don't be too surprised?
Keqing pursed her lips, feeling a little aggrieved.
For something like this, am I not supposed to be surprised? Should I remain composed?
"Jiang Xuan, you…"
Keqing opened her mouth. Before she could finish, Jiang Xuan threw the block in his hand.
Suddenly, the block, which had been a cubic meter in size, was now palm-sized, floating gently on the ground, looking incredibly eerie.
"Ganyu, try to pick it up."
Jiang Xuan smiled as he looked at Ganyu.
"Oh…"
Ganyu nodded blankly, naturally reaching out to grab it.
But the moment she touched it, Ganyu's face changed.
It wasn't that it was particularly heavy, but it clearly required a significant effort to pick up.
"How… how can this be?!"
Ganyu looked at Jiang Xuan in shock.
"Such a small block, how can it be so heavy! Jiang Xuan, this must be heavier than a crystal ore of the same volume!"
Jiang Xuan was unfazed, smiling and waving his hand.
"That's natural. Don't let the small size of the block in your hand fool you; in reality, it's a cubic meter of solid birch wood."
"Is it... some kind of Sumeru Akasha-type immortal art? But... even the Cloud Retainer couldn't perform such an intricate immortal art, could she?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head.
"This is just the most ordinary wood from that world. I haven't even processed it. You can call it birch log."
"This is the special aspect of the world I want to tell you about."
Jiang Xuan turned and took out a stack of birch log blocks.
He waved, leading Keqing and the others out of the room.
He casually began placing log blocks on the ground.
"These wooden materials, and even most materials in that world, are basically cube-shaped."
"And these blocks can all be harvested: wood, ore, dirt, sand, etc…"
"One type of material, in stacks of sixty-four. A stack means that as long as you have the strength to carry that weight."
"Then you can easily stack these sixty-four blocks. If you've studied quantum mechanics, it would be easier to explain."
"It's like a quantum superposition state."
"But this isn't important."
Blocks continuously landed from Jiang Xuan's hand.
While explaining the special features of these blocks to Keqing and Ganyu.
He also, with a divided mind, placed the birch logs into his portable crafting table, breaking them down into planks.
Under the stunned gaze of Keqing and Ganyu, he built a slightly larger box-like structure.
In less than five minutes, a small house was formed.
It just looked a bit crude.
But it was just for showing Ganyu and the others, so it was good enough.
"One birch block can be broken down into four planks of equal volume. These planks can then be crafted into other tools using a crafting table."
"This is just the simplest operation. There are also many uses for ores and other resources, even more mysterious and unpredictable."
"In summary..."
Jiang Xuan spread his hands, somewhat helplessly:
"That world is rich in resources. Even if only one ten-thousandth is cultivated, it would be enough for Liyue to become the absolute strongest nation in this world."
"And enough to instantly make a person a powerhouse standing at the peak of the world."
"But you also know that abundant resources and infinite possibilities mean endless dangers."
"I can't do this alone, so I need your help."
Jiang Xuan spoke very euphemistically, but Keqing and Ganyu understood his meaning.
The current Jiang Xuan was no longer just speaking to the two of them.
It was Jiang Xuan, the individual, having a dialogue with Liyue.
The clear meaning was that Liyue could use the resources of Jiang Xuan's world to achieve what it wanted.
And Jiang Xuan also needed Liyue to help him develop the world and complete his own missions and plans.
It was mutually beneficial, and there was nothing wrong with that.
Therefore, Keqing only pondered for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Ganyu.
Immediately, Keqing's aura changed.
She was no longer the gentle maiden from before, but the heroic Lady Keqing, Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing.
"Jiang Xuan, I understand what you mean. However, we are friends after all; there's no need for such roundabout talk."
"If the world you speak of is real, then I can represent Liyue in answering you: we are willing to offer our assistance, and we will also thank you for the opportunity you've given us."
"At the same time, we will find a way to inform the Archon, formally sign a contract with you, guarantee your life safety in Teyvat, and ensure that no one dares to covet your world."
Having said that, Keqing paused, then chuckled:
"By the way, Jiang Xuan's roundabout way of speaking is very similar to many old folks in the General Affairs Department."
Jiang Xuan gave a dry laugh and spread his hands:
"After all, in my previous world, I was considered a member of the system too…"
Hearing this, Keqing's eyes lit up.
"Really! That's great! I knew it, Jiang Xuan's views on human governance are truly extraordinary!"
"Jiang Xuan, if you have time, can you tell me about your world?"
Seeing Keqing get excited about human governance again.
Ganyu patted her helplessly, reminding her:
"Lady Keqing, now is not the time to talk about this, is it?"
"Oh, right."
Keqing rubbed her temples.
"Sorry... it was just a reflex..."
"It's okay."
Jiang Xuan shook his head. After snapping his fingers.
A shimmering, mysterious glowing gate slowly emerged behind him.
"Then now…"
"As friends, do you want to explore another world with me?"
Keqing and Ganyu exchanged glances. The next moment, they both chuckled.
"Of course! We will protect you!"
