The original village, with its various villager buildings, was now mostly half-demolished.
Keqing and Ganyu looked around.
The house that was a small wooden cabin the day before yesterday had now undergone a dramatic transformation.
Wooden fences enclosed a large plot of land.
A raw stone path extended from the fence gate, embedded in the grass, looking quite harmonious.
Along the path, at intervals, were streetlights made of various pillars.
Even on the fences, torches were placed at intervals.
In the lower left corner was a ranch, divided into small areas, with four main creatures: pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens.
There was also a sizable stable with three horses leisurely strolling around.
In the stable and ranch, there were stone troughs filled with clear, still lake water, like a mirror.
In the lower right corner was a large vegetable patch, with crops growing well and appearing ready for harvest.
Beside the vegetable patch, a pile of wooden crates was neatly stacked.
In the upper right corner, Jiang Xuan had already pruned it into a simple artificial garden landscape.
A small pavilion stood on the lake, with a wooden bridge connecting both sides of the pavilion, linking it to the enclosed wooden corridor.
There were also many brightly colored fish in the lake.
Adorned with flowers, vines, and leaves, and planted with many trees, it looked lush and vibrant.
In the very center was a medium-sized fountain, enclosed by stones. It was unclear where the fountain's water came from.
Although it looked exquisite, there was always something slightly peculiar about it.
These were not important matters.
In the upper left corner, that house.
It was impossibly large. Ganyu felt it was at least four times the size of the house from the day before yesterday.
The architectural style of Liyue, adorned with large floor-to-ceiling windows.
On the third floor, under the golden-orange lights, there seemed to be a study and a lounge area.
The second floor seemed to have many rooms, with small balconies built outside, where many flowers were planted.
Block-shaped sofas and chairs were also placed there.
It was an open-air viewing garden.
Only the first floor.
It wasn't floor-to-ceiling windows, but a pure Liyue style with small casement windows.
The open main door directly faced a specially reserved blank area.
As for the rest, there seemed to be a very large living room.
In the center of the living room was a bonfire.
A genuine, ancient-style grand villa.
The exterior walls were also adorned with many vines, adding a sense of age.
Just looking at it, this manor felt aesthetically pleasing.
However, this was Ningguang and Zhongli's feeling.
As for Ganyu and Keqing, they were stunned.
After a long pause, Ganyu looked at Jiang Xuan incredulously.
"Jiang Xuan... did you build this?"
Jiang Xuan lifted his head proudly.
"Of course, I've always loved building houses."
Ningguang covered her mouth and chuckled, nodding:
"I can see that your aesthetic is very similar to mine. This manor feels very comfortable to live in."
"But, Keqing, you two don't need to be so surprised, do you?"
Keqing immediately became anxious. She pointed at the manor, her face red, and said:
"You have no idea what happened!"
"Clearly... clearly, before Ganyu and I left the day before yesterday, that was just a wooden hut, about the same size as these houses!"
Ningguang was stunned, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course! I stayed there for a day. How could I forget!"
Keqing looked at Jiang Xuan in shock.
"Jiang Xuan! Did you really build such a large manor in one day?"
"I thought... I thought you were joking!"
Jiang Xuan chuckled and spread his hands.
"Is it difficult? Remember, this world is very unique. Blocks form buildings, Keqing."
"Even... even if that's the case..."
Keqing pursed her lips, still somewhat disbelieving.
"One day... you alone completed a project that would take hundreds of people nearly half a year to build?"
Jiang Xuan waved his hand. After sharing his physique with them, he led them towards the manor.
"Actually, it was already very slow. The main thing was the lack of materials. Otherwise, I could have built a larger and better living area."
"Get used to this kind of thing. I'll teach you how to build houses later. You'll understand how simple it is then."
Keqing and Ganyu fell silent.
Recalling what they had seen the day before yesterday, they realized that they really shouldn't always be surprised by the wonders of this world.
This world is unreasonable...
"The magical block world..."
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhongli's eyes. He then looked down at his hands.
That surging power shocked him a little too.
And this was only a portion of Jiang Xuan's physique?
Indeed, he had underestimated Jiang Xuan.
The moment he arrived in this world, Zhongli checked his power.
There were no major changes.
But...
His authority over rocks was gone, and his divine power was mostly sealed.
In fact, Zhongli felt that even if he used his full power, he might not be able to easily smash a small island.
Hmm...
As expected, he couldn't unleash much power anymore!
Zhongli shook his head and then looked around at the surrounding village.
But he didn't see any pedestrians.
Suddenly, Zhongli said strangely:
"Jiang Xuan, where are the people in this village?"
This also reminded Keqing and Ganyu.
"That's right, Jiang Xuan!"
Ganyu tilted her head, looking at him in confusion.
"Why is there no one in the village? Weren't there many the day before yesterday?"
Jiang Xuan's face was a little awkward. He pointed to the wooden huts not far away that were blocked by mud.
"I blocked them all inside."
"???"
Ningguang was startled, then looked at Jiang Xuan with some difficulty.
"Jiang Xuan, even if they don't have intelligence, you can't just casually..."
Jiang Xuan scratched his head and spread his hands:
"I couldn't help it. They were running around everywhere and disturbing my house building."
"And at night, there are zombies and skeletons in the village, so keeping them locked up can also protect them."
"Don't worry, even though they're not intelligent life, I'm not planning to massacre the innocent. I still need villagers."
Jiang Xuan certainly needed villagers, many villagers.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have locked them up and prepared several beds for them.
Without villagers, how would he make automatic farming machines?
Without villagers, how would he make iron farms?
Without villagers, many technologies couldn't be developed.
Jiang Xuan was even hoping they would reproduce more.
Jiang Xuan estimated that if he kept them locked up for ten days to half a month and then released them, there should be enough villagers to spawn iron golems.
During this time, Jiang Xuan would have enough time to build a bunch of matchbox houses for them to live in.
Once the sky island was built, he would fish them up.
A group to farm.
A group to make an iron farm.
This way, early-stage iron resources would be sufficient.
What resource is most important in the MC world?
Diamonds? Redstone?
No!
It's good old villagers!
Jiang Xuan's Redstone technology had countless exploitation techniques centered around good old villagers.
This was a crystallization of technology forged from the lives of countless villagers.
Was this technology not more humane than Khaenri'ah's technology?
Capitalists would look at Jiang Xuan and call him a vampire.
Pushing open the fence gate, Jiang Xuan was the first to walk towards the vegetable patch to harvest.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan missed villager technology even more.
"I'll do it, Jiang Xuan! I learned how to harvest and farm the day before yesterday!"
Keqing forced herself to forget the feat of building a manor in a day, excitedly took out a hoe, and walked forward.
Jiang Xuan was happy to relax and chuckled:
"Harvest them, then plant some potatoes, carrots, and beetroots. We'll go back to the house."
"I'll assign you rooms, and we'll discuss today's work."
