"Come on, Zhongli! Just one more small section!"

From the Sky Island above, Jiang Xuan waved at Zhongli with a smile.

However, the latter's face was somewhat dark, clearly indicating he wasn't in a great mood.

Helping Jiang Xuan carry villagers, Zhongli had actually initially refused.

After all, one could tell with a toe-wiggle that Jiang Xuan didn't have good intentions for these villagers.

And for him, the dignified Morax, to do such an unethical thing.

It was simply too outrageous!

But Jiang Xuan had actively and voluntarily descended from the Sky Island, gone into the house, and grabbed three villagers.

He had carried one up to the Sky Island himself first.

Zhongli and Xiao felt it would be impolite, in front of everyone, to not even help with this "small favor."

However, only after actually picking up a villager and having the villager start struggling did Zhongli realize how difficult this task was.

This villager's strength was quite considerable!

If Zhongli and Xiao weren't extraordinary individuals, they might have been dragged down by the villager.

Silently, Zhongli secretly decided to double the size of his planned retirement treehouse, saving it for Jiang Xuan to help build later.

Zhongli and Xiao finally ascended back to the Sky Island.

By this time, Jiang Xuan had already set up a fence and tossed the villager he was carrying inside.

It looked exactly like he was raising pigs.

Zhongli felt it wasn't quite right, especially seeing the villager scurrying around the fence like a headless fly.

Zhongli felt it was even more inappropriate.

However, before he could say anything.

Jiang Xuan walked over, took the villagers from his and Xiao's shoulders with a cheerful smile.

He picked them up one by one and tossed them into the fence.

"You've worked hard. I knew that in a realistic world, there's no reason you can't carry people."

Looking at the villagers in front of him, Jiang Xuan was somewhat emotional.

Although villagers spawn quickly in the game, in reality…

It wasn't actually like that.

Jiang Xuan said he had locked a house full of villagers, but there were only seven in total.

Moreover, of the seven villagers, five had no profession, colloquially known as idiot villagers.

The remaining two smart ones were the Crouching Dragon and Fledgling Phoenix who let Jiang Xuan trade four emeralds for six bread.

Jiang Xuan had been merciful enough not to eliminate them all back then.

No wonder this broken village didn't even have an Iron Golem.

Few people, all unemployed vagrants, and greedy to boot!

They deserved this outcome!

But now it was good.

Jiang Xuan left four villagers below to continue making babies, waiting until there were ten villagers.

The Iron Golem that spawned would serve as the guardian deity of the manor.

As for above, these Iron Golems would have to be sacrificed as materials.

However, with only three villagers making babies, it would probably take seven or eight days to reach ten.

As for whether three villagers making babies sounded a bit "green" and "melodramatic."

Hmm…

Jiang Xuan didn't care!

It wasn't like he was giving birth!

Once enough villagers had bred, Jiang Xuan could catch them directly to create an aerial automated plantation.

"Jiang Xuan…"

Zhongli pondered for a moment before speaking.

Jiang Xuan, who was about to start working, paused, then turned and asked, "What is it?"

Zhongli was silent for a moment, then looked at the three dull-witted villagers.

"They…"

"Ha!"

Jiang Xuan instantly understood Zhongli's thoughts and shook his head with a laugh, "After all this, don't tell me you still think they are the same kind of life as us."

Jiang Xuan pointed at the villagers, who were square-headed, square-faced, and square-nosed, with no mouths.

Saying they were octopuses who had become spirits would be more believable than saying they were humans.

No matter when or where, they always kept their hands clasped.

Jiang Xuan examined them repeatedly but still couldn't find any reason to call them human.

"Sigh…"

Zhongli sighed, re-examining these villagers.

They had been locked in the house by Jiang Xuan for several days, but they showed no signs of weakening.

Not eating or drinking seemed to be their normal state.

No intelligence, no personality…

Even dying was just a puff of white smoke.

Compared to zombies, these villagers were only different in color and wouldn't attack them.

Zhongli fell silent, then, after a long while, shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Never mind, do as you wish. But on this point, I hope you remember the difference between the villagers of this world and the humans of Teyvat."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan glanced at the square-shaped villagers and pursed his lips.

"It's hard to tell the difference between them…"

Collecting his thoughts, Jiang Xuan gestured for everyone to move to the pre-planned area on the other side.

Keqing and Ganyu had already prepared all sorts of raw materials, just waiting for Jiang Xuan's instructions to begin working.

"So…"

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, then pointed to the ground and said:

"First, use stone to build a wall with a 4x4 inner space."

"Three of the sides should be raised by four blocks, meaning a total height of five blocks…"

After all, an Iron Golem Farm is almost an essential item for MC survival, and Jiang Xuan clearly remembered the steps to build one.

A 15x15 platform.

Pumpkin lanterns dotted the perimeter for light, torches illuminated the center, then the villagers were placed inside, sealed at a height just above their heads.

An opening was left in the middle for Iron Golems to fall through.

After sealing the top, a ring of wooden doors was placed around the outer edge of the top, and a circle of signs surrounded the fall opening in the center of the platform.

Water was poured at the four corners of the doors, allowing it to continuously flow.

The signs blocked the water, preventing it from flowing below.

After enclosing the outside of the wooden doors with more stone, they returned to the ground level.

Two signs were placed on the second block-height, and two stones were placed against the side facing the signs to block the gap.

Again, two signs were placed, and two buckets of lava were poured.

The lava would obediently stay put at the signs, not flowing down.

Finally, hoppers and chests were placed on the ground.

The Iron Golem Farm was complete!

Under Jiang Xuan's guidance, the total construction time was approximately two to three hours.

Hmm…

To be honest, the efficiency was very slow.

If Jiang Xuan had done it himself, it would have been finished in about ten minutes.

But there was no other way; Jiang Xuan now wanted to cultivate everyone's greater understanding of this world.

Except for those characteristics that were truly difficult to explain to them in a short time, Jiang Xuan didn't plan to do it himself.

Of course, it wasn't that Ningguang and the others were too slow at placing blocks.

It was mainly that Cloud Retainer asked too many questions.

After every step, she would curiously ask for half a day why.

Including why the bottom space had to be 4x4, why the platform had to be 15x15, why wooden doors were used instead of other blocks…

To be honest, it wasn't annoying, as Cloud Retainer was eager to learn, and you couldn't stop her from seeking knowledge.

However, once Cloud Retainer started asking, she wouldn't stop, and she would even often get lost in thought, wondering if these principles could be applied to other things.

It was a good sign, but not conducive to work efficiency.

Perhaps influenced by this self-learning attitude, Ningguang and the others also joined Cloud Retainer's camp.

As a result, a job that should have taken at most half an hour was now finished by nightfall.

Jiang Xuan shook his head, amused, but didn't feel any regret.

This afternoon, they perfected the Mob Grinder and built the Iron Golem Farm; the work was very complete.

Other things like Slime Farms, Witch Farms, Automatic Farms, Villager Trading Halls, and so on.

These were not things that could be built in a short time.

More realistically…

Tomorrow, they would build an Enchanting Table and start truly enchanting equipment.

After all this, they would go to the Nether for resources and explore other areas, completing the system tasks as soon as possible.

After planning what to do next, Jiang Xuan clapped his hands and said softly:

"Alright, the Iron Golem Farm is built. After this, once there are more villagers, the Iron Golem Farm will automatically operate."

"Let's pack up and prepare to go home."

Saying this, Jiang Xuan also stretched, and said softly:

"Everyone has worked hard these past two days. Go back and have a good meal, get some rest. Ningguang, you all might be even busier tomorrow."

Jiang Xuan was naturally referring to the group of miners.

He paused, then added:

"Although your arrangements should be fine, I still want to ask…"

"Do you think the incoming Millelith and miners can keep secrets well?"

"It's not that my world can't be known, but for now, we still need a stable development environment."

Hearing this, Keqing immediately chuckled:

"Of course, there's no problem, Jiang Xuan, you can rest assured. That batch of miners and Millelith were all carefully selected and are absolutely reliable."

"As for the secrecy of your world, you can also rest assured; we can't speak in absolutes."

"But, in the short term, no one will interfere with us."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan also smiled and nodded.

He snapped his fingers, and starlight began to condense, the Dual-Passage Door reforming.

"Jiang Xuan, is there anything we need to do when we come tomorrow?"

Seeing that it would still be some time before the Dual-Passage Door could be opened, Ganyu simply asked about the future plans.

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said softly:

"Tomorrow, we won't be doing any Sky Island construction for now."

"With your miners moving in, I can teach them some simple building and mining techniques first."

"At the very least, they need to know how to build houses and survive in this world, and how to avoid monsters."

Jiang Xuan paused, his gaze slightly darkening as he slowly said:

"Tomorrow, let's split up. In the morning, I'll impart some simple knowledge to them."

"In the afternoon, Zhongli and Xiao, you will lead the team and protect them while they chop wood and gather resources to build a base."

"In short, once this group of people becomes proficient, things will be easier later."

"As for us…"

Jiang Xuan looked up at Ningguang and Keqing.

"I need to make an Enchanting Table and enchant some equipment. If you two have time, you can go fishing. If you happen to fish up an enchanted book from the river, that would be a huge profit."

"Otherwise, find a place and build yourselves a house or something."

"In short, try to do more building and imaginative stacking; don't worry about material consumption."

"Once the enchanted equipment is more or less ready, I plan to explore other regions, and even go to the Nether."

"Hmm… there are quite a few things to do. Let's take it one step at a time…"

Jiang Xuan shook his head, a little helpless, and turned to look at the now completed Dual-Passage Door.

He motioned for everyone to walk into the Dual-Passage Door together.

With a flash of light, once everyone had entered the Dual-Passage Door, this world fell silent again.

Only the Mob Grinder continued to operate.

As for the Iron Golem Farm?

There weren't enough villagers yet, so for now, Jiang Xuan couldn't rely on it…
