The remaining Ender Pearls were given to Aelita.
Ender Pearls weren't that important; giving them to Aelita, letting her take them for the Elf Race in the Elven Kingdom to see, was much better than him keeping them to gather dust.
In the fishing world, this is called chumming.
What's more, Ender Pearls cause damage, and Su Lin was afraid of pain... Aelita, on the other hand, was overjoyed, and even had more motivation to work for Su Lin.
However, the appearance of the Enderman also gave Su Lin a wake-up call.
Although Enderman are easy to deal with in the game, the game is the game, and reality is reality.
Su Lin, a clumsy player, dared to try water landings in the game, but after genuinely transmigrating, he didn't even dare to jump over railings when going downstairs.
If he was like this, how would Aelita, who didn't understand the characteristics of MC Dungeon monsters, fare?
What if Aelita got excited one day and went to sing 'Listen to Mother's Words' to the Warden?
The first level of MC Dungeon was also very dangerous.
Taking advantage of today's plan to research Iron Golems and other villager technology, he quickly gave Aelita a crash course.
Aelita was a very studious Elf, though a bit extreme, but just as she said, she was the most excellent Royal Candidate, the most talented Elf.
She could directly memorize everything Su Lin said and never forget it.
Most importantly... with just one Ender Pearl, this fellow became as obedient and motivated as if she'd been injected with chicken blood; if Su Lin told her to go east, she wouldn't dare go west; if Su Lin told her to pet a dog, she wouldn't dare catch a chicken.
When researching the Iron Golem, dismantling and rebuilding it again and again, Aelita didn't utter a single word of complaint, allowing Su Lin to completely free his hands and feet, lying down and just opening his mouth to get the building done.
Su Lin liked this kind of top-tier workhorse the most.
It's still that saying... if you can't lead a team, you'll work yourself to death!
...Researching villager technology was a very tedious and complicated job.
Especially since Su Lin had never personally practiced it when playing the game, now doing this stuff, he had to rely entirely on his own understanding.
He only remembered that the Iron Golem's structure utilized the bond between villagers and Iron Golems; as for the specific principle... it was quite villainous.
Just like in the Super Mario game, King Koopa kidnapped the princess again and again, making Mario rescue her again and again.
Su Lin was King Koopa, the villagers were the princess, and the Iron Golem was Mario.
Simplifying the concept this way made it much easier to understand.
The research process was dry and boring.
Fortunately, although Aelita was poor, she was still very pleasing to the eye, and her learning ability was strong.
After all, she was an old woman who became a Lv59 Mage at only 183 years old!
However, relying on her to help perfect the Iron Golem was unrealistic; she was still debating why buildings could be placed in the air in MC Dungeon.
After some time, Aelita gradually understood some MC characteristics.
With a look of complete enlightenment, she declared she was going to make some bold attempts.
Su Lin didn't bother with her, just told her not to run around, to stay honestly near the village, and then continued his research into the Iron Golem.
This research lasted a whole day... By sunset, Su Lin returned to the village, carrying a hoe, disheartened.
As for results, it wasn't that there were none... at least the crude Iron Golem he built now no longer harmed the villagers.
This was a successful... but ultimately useless breakthrough.
He still had to continue tomorrow... The villagers in the village would last for a while; at worst, he'd implement some policies to encourage villager reproduction.
Su Lin still knew how to breed villagers.
Close the door, put down the bed, and 'heixiu heixiu' (huff and puff) to fill a room.
Planning for tomorrow, Su Lin quickly returned to his home.
However, before he could even open the door, his hoe, along with Su Lin's jaw, dropped to the ground.
"This... this is..."
Su Lin stammered, pointing to the house next to his.
A thick oak tree rose from the ground, and a beautiful and massive treehouse hung above the oak tree.
Su Lin considered himself not very good at describing how beautiful a building was. For this inexplicably appearing treehouse next to his home, he could only sincerely exclaim... "An old cow wagging its tail... truly awesome!"
"Su Lin!"
A cheerful and familiar shout drifted from the treehouse's attic balcony, and Su Lin looked up.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it was a bit dazzling, but the iconic golden twin tails made Su Lin recognize the person.
"Aelita?"
Su Lin was somewhat shocked.
"You made this?"
Aelita proudly tilted her head, running down the spiral staircase.
"This Queen said it, This Queen is a peerless genius not seen in the Elf Race for tens of thousands of years!"
"All of this... you made it?"
"Of course! Besides This Queen, is there any other genius in the world who can create such a miracle?"
Hearing the complexity and incredulity in Su Lin's tone, Aelita was so proud she almost wagged her tail.
"This tree, this treehouse, were all made by This Queen alone! Using the MC Dungeon characteristics you taught This Queen, it only took one afternoon!"
"Admit it! This Queen is a peerless genius!"
Gazing at Aelita's proud smiling face, Su Lin nodded with mixed feelings.
He never would have thought that this aggressive, tsundere, and somewhat silly flat-chested Elf he picked up yesterday actually had such invincible architectural talent.
Honestly, he had only taught Aelita some basic building block crafting recipes.
And, by the way, asked her to help build the Iron Golem according to his plan, then dismantle it, then build it again.
After repeating it a few times... this fellow was actually able to construct such an outrageously beautiful treehouse palace?
This was even more outrageous than the novel he read called 'Ma Baoguo's Three Punches Kill Zhen Guanxi'.
He'd found a treasure... Aelita became even more proud.
"This treehouse palace, apart from some furniture, is a complete replica of This Queen's sleeping chambers in the Elven Kingdom."
"However, thanks to you enlightening This Queen, otherwise I wouldn't have known that building in MC Dungeon was so simple."
"It's incredible; even with magic, it wouldn't be possible to build such a large house so quickly."
"This unique resource of MC Dungeon, if placed in the Elven Kingdom, would definitely bring about earth-shattering changes to the Elven Kingdom's construction industry!"
Aelita spoke with increasing excitement, raising her fist enthusiastically.
"And, and!"
"This method of rapidly building blocks, even being able to build up from the ground to fly, and building blocks forward in the air, seems quite remarkable for use in combat."
"If there are enough blocks, perhaps one could build a path from the sky all the way to the capital of the Armed Empire Doragon, and then throw down those TNTs you mentioned to bomb them..."
"Su Lin, This Queen plans to call this combat style 'Efficient Block Flow'! How does that sound?"
Aelita talked non-stop, but Su Lin wasn't listening at all.
Dazed, he walked up the stairs to the treehouse, standing on the attic balcony and surveying the surroundings.
This fellow... even planted a flower field on the balcony!
Beautiful, magnificent, and full of vibrant life that blended with nature.
Such a large building, was this what Aelita made in one afternoon?
This fellow... 183 years certainly weren't lived in vain!
"Su Lin! Are you listening!"
Suddenly, Aelita poked Su Lin discontentedly.
"What do you think of This Queen's bold idea?"
"What?"
Seeing Su Lin's bewildered expression, Aelita knew this fellow must have been thoroughly shocked.
There was a hint of glee in her heart.
It was rare to see Su Lin, who was so familiar with MC Dungeon, so flustered.
Let's see if this fellow still dares to underestimate the prestige of the Elven Kingdom's most excellent Royal Candidate!
"This Queen was saying..."
Aelita was about to repeat her grand ambitions, but Su Lin waved his hand.
"None of that matters."
"Nonsense! This concerns the hope of the Elven Kingdom's rise, how could it not matter!"
Su Lin didn't answer, turning his head to look at his small wooden two-story house.
What he originally thought was a decent dwelling now looked shabby no matter how he viewed it.
He had changed; now, with his elevated pride, he no longer allowed himself to live like a beggar.
A flash of determination flickered in his eyes, and Su Lin cast aside his dignity.
"Aelita!"
"Hmm?"
"Your house seems too big; you must be very lonely living alone, right?"
Su Lin solemnly placed his hands on Aelita's shoulders, gazing at her deeply.
"I've decided to move in and live with you!"
"...That's too rude! Idiot!"
Aelita instantly bristled, her staff glowing green.
"Who would want to live with someone they just met a short while ago!"
"So I'm broadening your horizons."
"Su Lin, you idiot!!! Shine! Breath of Nature!"
