Facing the suddenly amiable Tia, Zheng Yichen uncertainly pressed, "No need for rit points?"
"You only don’t need them for the return journey, but if you want to get back to Hazy City, you’ll need to pay the fare." Saying this, Tia looked calmly at Zheng Yichen for a short while, "You don’t have a ’ho world’ in the true sense."
"...Let’s not talk about this now, I want to strengthen!" Zheng Yichen took out the pile of heavy items from his cabinet, "I need spatial tools."
As long as one was a transmigrator, and had transmigrated to a world with special powers, the demand for storage items was incredibly high.
As a solo warrior, his need for such items was even greater, and since he was alive, he wouldn’t wait any longer.
Three types of space-related materials should be able to et his needs, right?
The space attributes wouldn’t conflict with his equipnt, and in fact, were even more compatible; his equipnt had already been enhanced with that aspect before, but that enhancent had added the power of spatial distortion to his weapons and gear.
Space crystals are special crystals that form only on the stable edges of spatial rifts, with strong resistance to spatial forces, since the edges of spatial rifts themselves can be considered ’blades’ that can ignore defenses.
It’s one thing for spatial rifts to be stable, but stability doesn’t an safety, and these crystals can grow on the edges of spatial rifts precisely because they have strong spatial resistance, so they beco the best material for high-level teleportation circles.
The energy from these crystals helps protect those using the teleportation circle from the spatial forces during transmission; the reason it’s used in high-level teleportation circles is that those circles usually cover long distances, or the teleportation isn’t just between two points within the Mortal Realm, but between the Mortal Realm and the Divine Kingdom of a True God, or another half-dinsion.
There’s an additional ’spatial barrier’ between these points, so the strength provided by these materials is needed for extra protection.
A standard teleportation circle only needs alchemical materials that stabilize space, but more importantly, the heavy ’stone’ in Zheng Yichen’s possession, a remnant from the collapse of a half-dinsion, is the real key material that will allow him to obtain spatial tools!
As for the Apocalypse Stone, Zheng Yichen considered it rely an extra bonus; it didn’t have any enhancing effects and its characteristic was its resistance to corrosion and the passage of ti, with exceptionally high strength. Using this stone for equipnt enhancent wouldn’t make his gear eternally unbreakable, but at the very least it would add 999 durability...
According to the fire dragon’s account, it’s like a semi-eternal unbreakable property, in battle whoever focuses on his cart output, then Zheng Yichen will focus on the opponent’s output.
Because this enhancent was very important to him, Zheng Yichen was very detailed in his request and even brought out the design drawing given to him by Lilith, while Tia maintained her usual indifferent deanor of ’you talk, I’ll listen’.
"Two options."
"There are two options?"
Tia didn’t mind Zheng Yichen’s surprise. Since Zheng Yichen was spending rit points for customization, she would provide corresponding options. She continued, "The process for both options is the sa, the outco is different."
The first option, the built-in space would change with the environnt; based on the size of the spatial remnants inside the half-dinsion remnant, as well as the auxiliary effects of the space crystals and space steel, the range would be between 1×1×1 and 137×137×137.
The lowest wouldn’t be below the guarantee, and the highest wouldn’t exceed the limit; in the current environnt, the volu of the built-in space is at its maximum, and the energy consumption can be considered to be half of that of a Level 1 energy-saving household refrigerator, compared to your motorcycle.
To expand to the maximum space limit in a low environnt, continuous extra energy consumption is required, and if energy cannot be supplied, the built-in space will shrink, causing the stored items inside to be compressed and damaged."
Zheng Yichen felt that the probability of encountering high environnts like this world of magic was not very high, and even if he did, it wasn’t guaranteed to be a high energy level environnt.
He asked, "What about the second option?"
"A stable option, the built-in space will be 25×25×25, unaffected by the environnt. The consumption in the current environnt stays the sa, and to open the built-in space in a low environnt would increase the consumption, with a maximum of no more than ten tis."
"No need to think about it, I choose the second one!" Zheng Yichen said without hesitation. Although the maximum storage space had shrunk by nearly a sixth in an instant, this option was stable. He couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t find himself in a very low environnt, and besides, he often encountered many anomalies.
Changing all the ti, it wouldn’t do to only use one cubic ter of space in preparation for the worst, would it?
Instead of being petty about this and that and using it sparingly, it’s better to get a stable version right from the start. Is a length, width, and height of twenty-five ters enough? It’s enough for most situations already.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure. I don’t want to have an accident because of negligence. How many rit points?"
"30 rit points."
It was pricey, but looking at his rit points, Zheng Yichen could still accept it. He was also curious, "What about the first option?"
"22 rit points."
"... Is it really that expensive?" Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, but he still chose the second option. A stable inner space that could ignore environntal energy levels and, in terms of energy consumption, referenced the first option—it was only equal to ten tis the usage of half of a Level 1 energy-consuming household refrigerator, which is just five regular refrigerators.
For motorcycles equipped with star core batteries, that amount of energy was trivial. And as for the maintenance of the inner space?
This wasn’t an artificially created tool that expanded the original space; it was a space inherent within a half-dinsion remnant. It didn’t need any extra energy to maintain on a daily basis. Not choosing the first option ant energy would only be expended when opening and closing.
So, stability was the better choice.
In this round of enhancents, all other materials could be applied to various equipnt, whereas the half-dinsion remnant was unique and could only be used for one piece of equipnt. Naturally, he chose the vehicle.
According to the design provided by Lilith, the built-in space would be linked to the Universal Toolbox, the weapon case, and the regular storage compartnts.
"Since it’s a half-dinsion remnant, this kind of operation should be possible, right? I rember accessing the Dragon Tribe’s treasury through a remote thod. With the materials I have on hand, this should be feasible too, shouldn’t it?"
He was thinking that even if he were so distance from the motorcycle, he could still access the items he wanted. This would, in effect, be like indirectly obtaining an additional spatial tool.
"That’s one way to use a teleportation array. There’s no stable solution for this requirent. Within the current environnt, the maximum linkage range is 40,000 kiloters, and the minimum is 1 ter. Also, the energy consumption is bidirectional. All your equipnt can have this kind of linkage, with an extra cost of two rit points."
"Let’s go with that, and can you make twenty rings with the Apocalypse Stone while you’re at it?"
"An extra cost of 1 rit point."
"... Ten?"
"One billion."
"This might be the most I’ve spent at once. How about eleven?"
"An extra cost of 1 rit point."
"Then let’s stick with ten."
Zheng Yichen stopped trying to haggle, which was a bit of a waste of ti, and went ahead with the paynt. He still had a store of Gold, which could be deducted directly by Tia as before. After this series of transactions, he was left with 32 rit points.
Watching his funds diminish was indeed uncomfortable, but the gains he could achieve this ti made Zheng Yichen feel quite satisfied. A stable built-in space ant he would have more flexibility in handling certain tasks in the future.
This was an inner space crafted from a half-dinsion remnant; it wasn’t so Sibe-brand good. The inner space could contain living creatures. Of course, there was no freshness-preserving function, but as long as there was enough oxygen, Zheng Yichen could even set up a small breeding farm inside.
Rubbing his hands together, he eagerly awaited the final enhancent results.
Half an hour later, Tia brought him his cat spirit cloak, fishing rod, and the noise pistol that he had scarcely used. The motorcycle was still in the garage, and the cloak was wrapped around the ten rings made from the Apocalypse Stone.
Once Zheng Yichen touched his weapons, he felt so changes in their feel. They were cooler to the touch and the tallic feel had diminished significantly.
The cat spirit cloak had undergone changes too. Zheng Yichen tugged on it, and thanks to the reinforcent with the Apocalypse Stone, it had beco significantly stronger—though the cloak was not armor, it would suffice.
Moreover, among the materials used for the enhancent—besides the half-dinsion remnant—were space steel and space crystals. Space steel had a stabilizing effect on space, and space crystals did as well, yet the more crucial aspect of space crystals was their resistance to spatial power.
This spatial resistance was not limited to spatial distortion but was also effective against spatial rifts. In other words, while other weapons and equipnt would be as fragile as paper against attacks like a dinsional slash, his newly enhanced gear could now provide adequate defense.
"I’ll be here again tomorrow," Zheng Yichen said as he took his equipnt and rode away from the Dusk Cathedral.
"Boss, I’ve already marked the external interface associated with the built-in space to prevent unauthorized use in case of loss."
"That’s good. How’s the built-in space?" Having marks on these items didn’t surprise Zheng Yichen; they essentially served as identification codes. Each associated item had its corresponding mark. If lost, as long as Lilith shut down access from her side, even if soone tried to open the built-in space, they wouldn’t be able to connect.
"It’s fantastic. The stable built-in space is linked with the Universal Toolbox, the weapon case, and the regular storage compartnts. Next, we just need to put a suitable engineering robot in there, and the built-in space can be used flexibly."
Sitting on Zheng Yichen’s shoulder, the projection of Lilith brought up a projection screen showing so ’interior design’ details for the built-in space. The inner space was large, but access to items was not based on thought; normally, one would have to go inside to retrieve them. Therefore, assigning an engineering robot was seen as quite necessary.
