With the sand ready, it was time to make glass. Yun Xiao Yi led Zhao Yun into the luxurious mansion.
What should have been a living room on the first floor now appeared empty, with only a few boxes piled in one corner, a Crafting Table, and a Furnace. Yun Xiao Yi was the first to open one of the boxes. He took out a bundle of Coal that had been stored inside. Then he opened the Furnace and added the Coal. The burning effect of the Coal was remarkably long-lasting, capable of keeping the Furnace running for an extended period. A single bundle of Coal was enough to power the Furnace indefinitely.
"Divine Master, is this the Furnace?" Zhao Yun asked curiously. There was a blacksmith shop in Zhao Jia Village, so the concept of a Furnace was not unfamiliar to him. However, the Furnace before him was clearly different from the one in his village; it seemed as if one was crafted by a rough man while the other was a delicate work of art. Thanks to the realistic lighting effects in the game "My World," the items, despite their somewhat blocky appearance, were exquisitely detailed.
Yun Xiao Yi nodded. "Indeed, it's through the Furnace that we create glass."
Zhao Yun seemed to understand but also appeared puzzled as he stared at the Furnace. He cautiously approached it and tried to feel its temperature with his hand. "Huh? Why doesn’t it feel hot?" Zhao Yun boldly touched the surface of the Furnace but still did not sense any high temperature; it only felt slightly warm.
"Divine Master, why can't I feel any heat from the Furnace?" He vividly remembered how hot the Furnace in Zhao Jia Village could get, and he had painful memories of being burned as a child.
Yun Xiao Yi's eyes darted around as he pondered silently, wondering why this was happening. This question puzzled even him. It wasn't something that could be explained by Newton's laws! After thinking carefully...
The Furnace in My World indeed does not release heat. I've never heard of any player losing Health Points from touching the Furnace. Even dancing on top of it causes no harm. The only facilities capable of causing burns in the game are those like campfires, which can inflict a few Health Points of damage if one is careless enough to touch them.
Campfires have their own shortcomings, yet they possess advantages that the Furnace cannot match: once lit, they provide continuous heat without needing additional fuel, making them incredibly convenient for cooking and other tasks.
Before Yun Xiao Yi could find a reason to explain, Zhao Yun seemed to have figured something out and voiced his speculation: could it be that the Divine Master used magic to seal the flames within the Furnace? Thus, even though there are burning materials inside, the surface contact does not feel hot. This idea actually makes a lot of sense, even according to the game's own rules.
If we consider how the rules of My World influence reality, then this ability could also be seen as an expression of personal power. However, such power is uncontrollable.
Despite finding it interesting, Yun Xiao Yi agreed with Zhao Yun's statement. Due to the requirements for burning, the Furnace completed its task in just ten minutes. Unfortunately, there was a lack of special fuel like Purple Crystal Fragments at the moment. If there were some, it might be possible to create tinted glass or other colors, which would be wonderful.
Thus, Yun Xiao Yi took out the freshly made glass blocks from the Furnace; they were in the shape of cubes. While they could be directly installed, their thickness was too heavy for windows. So, Yun Xiao Yi opened the Crafting Table and placed the glass blocks into it. Six glass blocks combined would form a standard-sized panel; this amount of Glass Panels should be sufficient. Let's start adding a protective layer to the windows.
Saying this, Yun Xiao Yi lightly patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.
"Is glass really made this easily?" Zhao Yun wondered silently as he followed closely behind Yun Xiao Yi.
As the two reached the edge of the floor, Yun Xiao Yi held a Glass Panel in her hand, its transparent material shimmering under the sunlight. Although Zhao Yun had never seen real glass before, he immediately recognized how precious this item was, evident from its exquisite appearance.
With a slight movement of her thoughts, the Glass Panel in Yun Xiao Yi's hand vanished one by one, then reappeared in a designated spot on the wall through teleportation. Once all the glass pieces were joined together, the seams disappeared completely, as if forming a single large pane of glass. It made one wonder if it truly was a window; indeed, it was extraordinary! Though it was nearly invisible, its tangible presence was undeniable.
Zhao Yun approached and instinctively reached out to touch it. The surface was as smooth as a mirror and felt icy cool to the touch, prompting Zhao Yun to silently praise it: despite allowing a view of the outside world, it effectively shielded against wind and rain, just like Qing Shui embedded within the wall.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his astonishment. In fact, he had encountered so many incredible things over the past few days that each one left him in awe. Whether it was mysterious equipment, magical boxes, endless water resources, or miraculous potions, each experience gradually raised his threshold for accepting miraculous phenomena.
On the other hand, Yun Xiao Yi was just an ordinary modern person who had occasionally acquired Steve's abilities but had not reached the level of immortals or superhumans; he could not comprehend what was on people's minds. So when he noticed Zhao Yun appearing somewhat dazed, he gently patted him and asked what he was lost in thought about.
Zhao Yun immediately snapped back to reality, nodded, and followed him up to the next level. This area was specifically designed for guests and consisted of ten suites that were moderately sized and spaciously comfortable. Compared to his own residence from memory, even accounting for some shared space that reduced usable area, this place was not much different—perhaps even better.
Thinking this over, he softly replied, "Indeed, this place is much more comfortable."
Yun Xiao Yi smiled at his words and said, "Yes, there are many beautiful places in the world."
