The next morning.
The morning sun had just climbed out of the sea.
Jiang Xuan stretched, got up, washed, and then pushed open the door to the courtyard.
Keqing and Ganyu were in the courtyard observing the vegetable garden.
After signing the contract and finishing dinner last night, they didn't go back.
After all, they had nothing to do these days, and even if they did, they pushed it aside.
Nothing was more important than pioneering a new world.
They stayed here last night. This villa was quite large, with enough side rooms.
Ningguang and Zhongli, however, had left.
Zhongli had said that after Jiang Xuan and Ningguang signed the detailed cooperation agreement today, he would personally have Xiao follow Jiang Xuan and the others to that world.
Firstly, to conduct an on-site inspection.
Secondly, to see if Xiao could find a way to alleviate his karma in that world.
Ningguang also agreed. Today, she would also go with Jiang Xuan for an on-site inspection.
"Jiang Xuan, good morning. The porridge in the living room should still be hot. Eat it while it's warm."
Ganyu, observing the vegetable garden, saw Jiang Xuan from the corner of her eye.
She quickly smiled and waved.
Keqing also straightened up and said:
"Jiang Xuan, when are we going to that world today?"
Jiang Xuan chuckled, teasing:
"How do I feel like you're more anxious than I am?"
Keqing put her hands on her hips and said somewhat helplessly:
"I'm still waiting to learn more about the wonders of that world!"
"If I hadn't been in meetings all day yesterday, I would have gone with you long ago. I really don't know what you built yesterday. It's such a pity to have missed it."
Jiang Xuan smiled and said softly:
"Later. When Xiao and Ningguang arrive and we've signed the agreement, we'll go together."
As his words fell, the main door was pushed open.
Ningguang and Xiao walked in.
Behind them, there was another person...
Zhongli!
Jiang Xuan's heart lit up.
He knew that Zhongli would never miss the opportunity to explore this world.
"Good morning, Jiang Xuan. I heard you mention me. I'm not late, am I?"
Ningguang was still wearing her magnificent cheongsam from yesterday.
However, upon closer inspection, some subtle differences could still be seen.
Jiang Xuan estimated that Ningguang had ordered a large number of clothes in this style.
"No."
Jiang Xuan shook his head.
"You've arrived just in time. I've just woken up. By the way, this is..."
Jiang Xuan feigned confusion, looking at Zhongli, but Zhongli clearly detected the amusement in his eyes.
He smiled wryly in his heart.
Before coming, he had thought that his disguise probably wouldn't fool Jiang Xuan.
"This is Mr. Zhongli!"
Before Zhongli could speak, Xiao immediately explained:
"Mr. Zhongli is someone I met this morning. He knows everything about astronomy and geography, is knowledgeable and talented. I greatly admire him."
"Thinking that this inspection would be much more convenient with Mr. Zhongli, I asked the Geo Archon, and the Geo Archon agreed to let me bring Mr. Zhongli along."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.
Zhongli even awkwardly averted his gaze.
Jiang Xuan chuckled inwardly.
It was clear that Xiao was trying very hard to act.
But he had no talent for it. The flattery in his words was awkward to hear...
To prevent others from noticing anything, Zhongli said softly:
"First meeting, Mr. Jiang Xuan. My name is Zhongli, I'm a consultant for Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I was invited to explore this world with you."
First meeting?
Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly.
This fellow Zhongli was truly adept at playing multiple roles.
But he wouldn't expose him. What's the fun in that?
Besides, Zhongli's wink was practically soaring into the sky.
"Hello Zhongli, just call me Jiang Xuan."
Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded, then waved his hand:
"Let's go inside and chat. We'll depart after signing the agreement."
The group followed Jiang Xuan into the living room.
Ningguang also handed the agreement to Jiang Xuan, then chatted with Keqing and Ganyu about what they needed to pay attention to in that world.
Jiang Xuan, meanwhile, ate his meal while reviewing the agreement.
There was nothing particularly noteworthy; Ningguang had drafted it very thoroughly.
There were no tricky clauses, he glanced it over.
Jiang Xuan signed his name.
He quickly finished his meal and returned the agreement to Ningguang.
Ningguang's eyes softened, and she gently extended her hand:
"Happy cooperation, Jiang Xuan. When I return today, I'll have a copy made and sent to you."
Jiang Xuan and Ningguang shook hands.
"Happy cooperation. Once you're ready, we'll depart."
Keqing nodded, happily saying:
"No problem! We've been ready for ages. Let's go, Jiang Xuan!"
Jiang Xuan playfully tapped Keqing's forehead.
"You're always so impatient, you know..."
Saying that, he contacted the system in his mind and opened the Dual-Passage Door.
Specks of starlight gathered, just like last night.
A large door slowly coalesced.
Through the sparkling door, the chirping of insects and birds could be faintly heard from the other side.
Taking advantage of the time the door was opening, Jiang Xuan turned his head and further instructed:
"Once you're in that world, don't run around. Your strength won't work there."
"Even Morax, if he doesn't abide by the laws of that world, will be in danger."
"Once inside, I will share some of my special physique with you. Your power will instantly surge, but this is normal, so don't panic."
"Also, remember, that world has no intelligent life, and don't treat the humans of that world as humans like us."
"We are not the same species."
"By the way, Keqing, did you briefly mention the monsters of that world to them yesterday?"
Ningguang looked at Jiang Xuan with some confusion.
Oh!
Looking at the situation, Keqing definitely hadn't mentioned it.
"Don't worry, everyone. I will protect you."
Xiao said in a deep voice.
Jiang Xuan, however, waved his hand.
"You too. In that world, your strength will definitely be heavily restricted. Don't show off."
"Most importantly, don't jump more than three meters, or you'll definitely get hurt."
Xiao was stunned for a moment, then frowned:
"Then... flying?"
This time, Jiang Xuan was stumped.
Xiao could fly!
Flying, in the MC world, should be a normal rule... right?
Jiang Xuan wasn't sure and shook his head:
"I'm not very clear either. You can try it once we're inside. But, to be safe, just fly at a height of three meters first."
"If you can really fly, that would be a great help."
Jiang Xuan looked at Xiao with a hint of envy.
Flying...
So nice.
But he wasn't particularly envious either.
His own BattĆjutsu sword could actually allow him to fly.
But the Yamato didn't have that ability.
The Phantom Blade could warp like a teleportation.
In the future, when he installed the BattĆjutsu sword module, he would specifically make a flying sword.
If not, other modules had jetpacks.
Or rather, Elytra and fireworks, that would be quite fun.
While chatting, the Dual-Passage Door had completely stabilized.
Jiang Xuan waved his hand and smiled:
"Ready to witness a new world with me?"
Keqing nodded excitedly.
"I can't wait to continue mining. Let's go, Jiang Xuan!"
Jiang Xuan chuckled and shook his head:
"Today, we're not mining first."
"Not mining?"
Ganyu followed Jiang Xuan into the Dual-Passage Door.
"What are we doing today if not mining?"
Standing in the familiar block world, Ganyu inexplicably felt that her surroundings had changed a lot.
Jiang Xuan looked back and saw that Ningguang and the others were curiously surveying their surroundings.
Jiang Xuan pursed his lips into a smile and pointed to a building not far away.
"Today!"
"We're building a sky island base!"
