Yesterday, Jiang Xuan and his group were busy with the renovation of the manor villa and base.
Ultimately, it was just some Redstone automated technology to simplify various processes in the villa.
For example, the elevator to the Sky Island and the elevator to the Slime Farm.
Automatic furnaces, storage rooms, and so on.
In addition, they also set up several automatic changing armor stands.
The Mountain-Cleaving Cannon promised to Cloud Retainer was also ready.
Cloud Retainer tried it, and the effect was excellent.
In just one afternoon, she blew up half a mountain range with TNT.
The results were fruitful, but Cloud Retainer decided to temporarily—not use it.
It was simply too powerful; it blew up the planned area as well.
They still had to repair it today.
The rotating Millelith and miners also had the previous team of Millelith teach them important matters to note.
Such as the Redstone Cannon at the entrance and the Lucky Blocks.
These matters did not require Jiang Xuan and his group to worry.
The repairs of the manor villa were mostly completed in one morning yesterday.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xuan took everyone to search for Lucky Blocks within the mastered area.
They opened more than twenty Lucky Blocks.
It must be said that Ganyu's luck was simply the most reliable treasure.
After she opened these Lucky Blocks, they obtained more than two stacks of Diamonds.
Nearly two stacks of Ender Pearls and Eyes of Ender.
Redstone Components, other materials, and Enchanted Gear were countless.
Most importantly.
Ganyu also found four Elytra and three Totems of Undying.
This was only the harvest within a twenty-kilometer radius; if they went far today, the harvest would be even harder to quantify.
Of course, not all these Lucky Blocks were opened by Ganyu.
Jiang Xuan and others also opened a few.
Ningguang and the others found some food and wool.
They originally thought everyone should try.
Unfortunately, after Jiang Xuan accidentally opened an Obsidian Water Trap, everyone gave up.
From Jiang Xuan, everyone learned a lesson.
Never place too much hope in your own luck.
Unless you are Ganyu...
It's worth mentioning that they also found three Golden Apples yesterday, and Xiao ate two.
His Karma was completely eliminated.
This was the best news Zhongli had received in hundreds of years.
From now on, Xiao could continue to live as the Yaksha, Conqueror of Demons, carefree.
As for his Erosion...
Zhongli didn't care much.
He still had a Totem of Undying that Jiang Xuan gave him.
If the Erosion was truly life-threatening, he could just die and start over.
"How are the preparations coming?"
After emptying the harvest from the Automatic Furnace chest, Jiang Xuan leisurely returned to the plaza of the manor villa.
At this time, everyone was wearing a full Diamond Enchanted Set.
Their weapons were also Diamond-crafted.
With the Lucky Blocks, Diamond as a resource might not be common for all Millelith and miners.
But at least, it was no problem for Jiang Xuan and his group to each have an Enchanted Set.
Not to mention, they could also exchange items at the Villager Trading Center.
Yesterday's Emeralds and Diamonds were mostly spent here.
The greatest advantage of Diamonds was that their weight was not as absurd as Iron and Gold.
A block of Diamond weighed over 380 kilograms, and a Diamond Sword was less than a ton.
A full Diamond Enchanted Set, at most, weighed less than ten tons.
Uh...
It still sounded a bit absurd.
But everyone was an Archon and possessed Elemental Power.
As long as they harnessed Elemental Power, they could also wield these armaments in Teyvat.
Xiao wore this Diamond Set when he went out to exterminate demons last night.
More importantly, the Diamond Set was top-tier gear, second only to the Netherite Armor Set.
After Enchantment, the Protection Enchantment on their personal panels was maximized.
Xiao even specifically tested it last night.
A punch from a Stonehide Lawachurl felt like nothing.
He easily cut it down with a Diamond Sword.
The importance of the Diamond Set was self-evident.
If not for the fact that few Millelith could wear such items, Keqing would have suggested a full replacement to Diamond Sets.
Seeing Jiang Xuan return, Ganyu and Nahida immediately went forward and held one of his hands each.
Everyone was used to it.
Everyone knew that Jiang Xuan and Ganyu lived together, and Nahida was Jiang Xuan's good friend.
For Nahida, Jiang Xuan had specifically expanded the manor villa yesterday and built a large garden just for her.
Nahida was quite pampered.
Suppressing her discomfort, Ningguang smiled faintly and said softly:
"Besides the weapons, we only brought Iron Pickaxes as tools, and as for food, I have a stack of Cooked Porkchops here, which should be enough."
"In addition, I also brought a stack of Ender Pearls."
"Are you sure you want to depart with just these things? Don't you need a stack of Iron Blocks for emergencies?"
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan chuckled and turned to look at Ganyu, who had a clueless and adorable expression.
"Do you think, with Ganyu and Lucky Blocks, we need to bring these things?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ningguang smiled wryly and shook her head.
"You're right... Then let's do that. Shall we depart now?"
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Xuan clapped his hands, took out the Barrett and thirty Bullets from his backpack, and handed them to Ganyu.
"I almost forgot, I wanted to give you this yesterday."
The entirely black, Iron-crafted item instantly caught everyone's attention.
For some inexplicable reason, facing the dark muzzle, even Zhongli felt a pang of fear.
"Jiang Xuan, is this... a firearm?"
Zhongli remembered that Jiang Xuan's AK-47 was also like this, with a terrifying muzzle.
Jiang Xuan smiled and nodded.
"The Barrett Anti-Materiel Rifle, known as the King of Snipers."
"Its special 12.7 High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Incendiary Tracer can instantly tear enemies apart, even if it just grazes an arm."
"It's a terrifying weapon that, once it hits, regardless of where it strikes, can obliterate a person."
"Its original purpose was to destroy tanks and demolish city walls and buildings."
"Its maximum range is about seven thousand meters, so... do you understand what type of weapon this is?"
Jiang Xuan always felt that with Ganyu's long-range attack talent and her ridiculously powerful Frostflake Arrow.
She was undoubtedly Liyue's Long-range Missile.
Constantly holding a Bow and Arrow was a waste of Ganyu's talent.
Equipping her with a Barrett, it might not be enough to shatter Heavenly Principles with one shot, but at least...
Blasting Osial's head from seven kilometers away would be no problem.
For Ganyu, effective range was never a limit; in terms of long-range weapons, only the weapon had limits, she had none.
Ningguang and the others looked at Ganyu with envy, but they didn't think Jiang Xuan was exclusively pampering her.
Everyone understood Ganyu's long-range talent; her arrow shots were unerring.
If she held a Barrett, wouldn't she be able to hit whatever she aimed at?
Ganyu would instantly become Liyue's national-level Long-range Guided Bomber.
"This is too precious... Jiang Xuan..."
Ganyu hesitated to take the weapon, looking at Jiang Xuan meekly.
He rubbed Ganyu's head and whispered:
"Nothing is more precious than Ganyu. Besides, Ganyu has given me her most precious thing, so this gift is nothing in comparison."
"Hmm..."
Ganyu's face instantly turned crimson.
Carefully taking the Barrett, the moment it touched her hands, she felt every cell in her body cheer.
It was as if this weapon was born to wait for her to use it.
The cold and heavy feel brought an extraordinary sense of security and power.
Ganyu felt that even wielding it to strike someone would inflict high damage.
Involuntarily, Ganyu slightly raised the Barrett's muzzle.
Unfortunately, it aimed directly at Xiao.
At that instant, a chilling premonition of death swept through Xiao's mind.
All reason told him to get out of the way of the muzzle, or he would surely die.
However, before Xiao could move, Jiang Xuan pressed the Barrett down.
He looked at Ganyu with extreme seriousness.
"Ganyu, remember this!"
"Whether in this world or in Teyvat, never point a gun at your own people!"
"Do you understand?"
Ganyu froze for a moment, then quickly looked at Xiao and said,
"I'm sorry..."
"It's nothing..."
Xiao still felt a lingering fear, shook his head, and then whispered to Zhongli beside him:
"Lord, this weapon is extremely dangerous..."
Zhongli frowned slightly and nodded without further comment.
This weapon indeed gave him an ominous feeling.
However, he guessed it was only because it was greatly suppressed in this world.
If they could harness Divine Power or Immortal Power, there shouldn't be such a terrible sense of crisis.
"Try it out."
Jiang Xuan smiled and pointed to a flock of sheep grazing leisurely in the nearby woods.
Ganyu nodded.
She didn't even need Jiang Xuan's guidance; as if by instinct, she raised the gun, loaded it, and braced it in an extremely standard posture.
Everything was standard, the only regrettable thing was...
Ganyu probably underestimated the Barrett's recoil and might fall backward.
Just as Jiang Xuan reached behind Ganyu, she pulled the trigger.
Like a deafening thunderclap, fire surged, and a Bullet whistled out.
Before anyone could react.
It had already hit the sheep.
The violent explosion ripped up a large patch of ground, leaving a large crater as if a TNT had detonated.
As for the four or five sheep that were just grazing.
They had already vanished into thin air.
As expected, Ganyu was pushed back by the unexpectedly powerful recoil.
She reacted quickly and put more strength into bracing herself.
Rubbing her slightly sore shoulder, Ganyu looked at Jiang Xuan in disbelief.
"Jiang Xuan, this weapon..."
"It's powerful, isn't it?"
Jiang Xuan chuckled and rubbed Ganyu's head.
"Remember to use more strength when using the Barrett in the future, otherwise, it'll be hard to handle."
Ganyu nodded solemnly, then threw herself into Jiang Xuan's arms with a wide smile.
"Thank you... I really like it."
Everyone else also withdrew their gazes.
The power of the Barrett made Ningguang and the others quite concerned. This weapon, let alone on the battlefield, would be an unimaginable tool even for clearing out monsters.
However, it was clear that the firearm Mod had not been enabled.
Ningguang could only put this thought aside for now.
Jiang Xuan also smiled as he took out the Scepter of Vampirism and said softly:
"Alright, everything's ready. Let's go get the horses, we're setting off!"
Everyone nodded, and then Keqing noticed the staff in Jiang Xuan's hand and pointed to it with surprise.
"Jiang Xuan, are there Staff-type weapons in this world?"
Hearing this, Ningguang immediately turned her head, looking at Jiang Xuan with interest.
To be honest, although she could use swords and bows, Ningguang clearly preferred catalyst-type weapons.
However, in her memory, Jiang Xuan had never mentioned staffs in the MC world.
"Oh, this!"
Jiang Xuan proudly lifted his head.
"This is a divine weapon no less powerful than the Yamato (Sword), and it's a staff that drops in a special Mod."
"It's called, Scepter of Vampirism Three!"
