Genshin x Minecraft: Building the Temple of Virtue

Ayaka had seen it before, so she knew—resources on this scale couldn’t be found anywhere in all of Inazuma.

But Tartaglia and Rosalyne had never witnessed the extravagant diamond-gold-iron platform atop the Jade Chamber.

All they knew was that beacons could greatly amplify one’s strength across a wide area.

They were essential artifacts for large-scale warfare.

At once, Rosalyne said seriously,

”Mr. Ryen, if we’re the ones who defeat the Wither, can we have the beacon?”

Before Ryen could reply, Lisa smiled and nodded.

”But of course. Whoever contributes gets the reward—simple logic.”

Rosalyne was delighted and quickly asked,

”Then may we be the ones to fight the Wither? The totem of resurrection can still go to Mr. Zhongli and the others—we only want the Nether Star!”

”No problem at all!”

Ningguang answered for Ryen without hesitation. She exchanged a glance with Lisa, and they smiled knowingly.

”We can give you the beacon, but whether you can build a fully upgraded base like the one on the Jade Chamber… that’s another matter entirely.”

Rosalyne froze, frowning slightly.

”There’s a base for the beacon?”

”Exactly,” Lisa nodded gently.

”Beacons provide boosts in tiers. The lowest-level beacon, within Teyvat, has a buff radius of only 50 meters, and its enhancement effect is also just Tier 1—the weakest.”

”But the one on the Jade Chamber? That beacon is maxed out—built with an enormous amount of resources.”

At this, Tartaglia waved his hand grandly.

”What’s a few resources? Snezhnaya has plenty!”

Beside him, Rosalyne felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to warn him not to brag too much and risk biting his tongue—but the words were already out of his mouth.

All she could do now was silently wait for him to make a fool of himself.

”Are you sure?” Hu Tao asked Tartaglia with a sly smile. She started counting on her fingers:

”This Head of the Hall remembers—the beacon on the Jade Chamber? It’s supported by five fully-upgraded platforms.”

”Each of those used 1,000 tons of diamond, 6,500 tons of gold, and 3,280 tons of iron ore.”

”So Snezhnaya is really that rich, huh? With so many resources, why not help the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and order a few more coffins?”

”After all, you’re loaded, right?”

Tartaglia’s face turned dark. He suddenly remembered how Hu Tao once scammed him into buying the full family coffin package.

Rosalyne quickly started calculating the required materials and compared them with Snezhnaya’s stockpile.

In an instant, her heart sank.

Iron ore? Maybe—if they really gritted their teeth, they could manage it.

But gold?

Snezhnaya did have that much gold—but if they used it all for the beacon, the national economy would collapse.

As for diamonds…

Weren’t those native to this world?

Wait a minute!

This world…?

A realization struck Rosalyne. She turned toward Ryen and asked:

”Mr. Ryen, all these resources—are they taken from this world?”

Hu Tao curled her lips.

”You’re not dumb after all!”

Ryen nodded with a smile and said,

”It’s not a problem if you all want the beacon, but at this stage, I suggest you don’t get ahead of yourselves.”

”You haven’t even transferred any manpower from Snezhnaya yet. You can’t even mine basic iron ore on a large scale.”

”Beacons are more of a late-game item. Best not to think about them for now.”

”When Liyue built the beacon, nearly two thousand Qianyan soldiers mined the caves at full capacity for over half a month.”

”Plus, Ganyu was out every day cracking open lucky blocks to gather resources for it.”

”Don’t forget, Ganyu’s luck with those blocks—she’s never once failed.”

Just as he finished speaking, little Klee tugged at Ryen’s pants with a pout.

Ryen quickly grinned and patted her head.

”And of course, our little Klee—she’s never failed either!”

That finally brought a happy smile to Klee’s face.

Mondstadt was also trying to gather beacon resources. However, they wanted to have the Knights go through training first, then head to the Nether to collect wither skeleton skulls and summon the Wither Storm.

They already had enough materials for the beacon base.

After all, Klee’s luck was no joke.

Rosalyne let out a long sigh and said helplessly,

”I understand... I’ll report the situation back to the Tsaritsa. She should be sending people soon.”

Ryen nodded.

”Don’t send too many. The older generation of Qianyan soldiers have already gone off to explore the world. There’s no one left to teach newcomers about how this world works.”

With that, Ryen gently patted Lumine beside him.

”Go on, take Klee and Nahida. You don’t need to fight today—just take care of them.”

”And Paimon, too!”

Paimon puffed up her cheeks and glared at Ryen.

He laughed awkwardly.

”Yes, yes, Paimon too.”

The immortals had heard Cloud Retainer mention more than once how dangerous the Wither was and how intense the battles could get.

They understood the threat of the Wither, and they also knew how to fight it.

With centuries of combat experience behind them, they were more than ready to join the fray.

Everyone took their positions.

After drinking night vision potions and other buffs, they silently waited for Ryen.

Once he placed the final wither skull and dashed back, the Wither Storm descended once again.

The tension of the looming battle, combined with the Wither’s innate pressure, left those seeing it for the first time secretly alarmed.

Tartaglia, however, was an exception.

That battle maniac thrived in dangerous, death-tinged situations like this—his excitement was off the charts.

If Rosalyne hadn’t been keeping an eye on him, he might’ve already charged in.

Even so, Tartaglia was carefully observing how Ryen and the others fought the Wither.

He wasn’t in a rush—after all, they were going to slay four of them today.

He didn’t believe it—after all his rich combat experience, he still couldn’t quickly learn how to deal with the Wither and join the battle?
