Chapter 267: The Hand-Chopping Clan…
“Ah~ ha~ Little Dragon, you’re still not asleep?”
“Call me by my name, stop with ‘Little Dragon Little Dragon,’ it sounds weird to me.” Zheng Yichen shot Dan Marina a glance.
“Hmm? Yichen? Ah, your name feels a bit awkward for me to say too.” Dan Marina shook her head, her loose long hair swaying slightly. In her sexy sleepwear, her lace underwear was faintly visible. Unfortunately, Zheng Yichen wasn’t paying attention to that right now.
Ugh! What if he did pay attention? His current body was that of a dragon. Aside from some daydreaming in his dreams, in reality? Paying too much attention to that would only bring him trouble, nothing else.
“Different cultures, you’ll get used to it.” Zheng Yichen didn’t really mind. He glanced at Dan Marina again and struggled to look away. He had to admit, that woman had a really great figure… Not like Loris, who was completely flat from any angle.
Dan Marina smiled, watching as Zheng Yichen kept tapping on the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, replying to some people’s messages. She didn’t interrupt but simply observed from the side.
That post, which had gradually been pushed down as new posts appeared, was gradually pulled back to its original height after its content caught attention and the number of views increased. Of course, it still couldn’t compare to the post about the Witch’s Secret Treasure. Zheng Yichen naturally could use an alt account to pin it at the top, but since it was an alt account, he shouldn’t be so flashy. Besides, it was getting attention now, right?
Looking at the many Magic Weapon Summoners inquiring about the Magic Cycle information, Zheng Yichen thought for a moment and added a new supplement to his own post.
—Current quantity: twenty, limited quantity, interested buyers please hurry!
Although he said that, no one had directly purchased yet. After all, the price Zheng Yichen set for the Magic Cycle wasn’t cheap. Moreover, this kind of transaction method was appearing for the first time, so it was normal for others to be cautious. What if they got scammed?
But Zheng Yichen wasn’t in a hurry. He definitely wouldn’t be the one losing out. His current actions were just something he did out of boredom. If someone bought one, he’d figure out a way to deliver it. If no one bought one… then so be it. If no one bought one, he’d just be setting an example. Maybe in the future, a bunch of hand-chopping fanatics would emerge on the Magic Weapon Forum.
No matter what, he was the one making the profit.
“Dan Marina, do you think… a Personal Space can be divided?” Zheng Yichen suddenly had a bold idea. Perhaps this idea, which stemmed from a bit of boredom and a desire to calm his nerves, could really be developed further, as long as certain conditions were met!
“Divide? Are you willing to cut a few slices from your own Soul, carve out a few pieces?” Dan Marina gave Zheng Yichen a light glance, almost directly saying, “Young man, your idea is dangerous.”
“Uh, no!”
“Space Fragments are completely fused into your Soul. Any act of separation will affect you. However, the benefit is that this connection is already inseparable; it’s almost impossible to be stripped away. As for the effects, the edges of the reshaped Soul fragments have already formed mature barriers. Their strength can be compared to Irene’s pseudo-World Barrier. If it could be forcibly shattered by someone, encountering such an enemy… no, even if I encountered them, getting into trouble because of it wouldn’t feel like much of a loss.”
“Moreover, because it is completely fused with your Soul, some special Magic spells also cannot detect your Personal Space.”
“It’s rare to hear you praise something like this,” Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but say. “So, that means the internal protection level of the Personal Space doesn’t need to be worried about?”
“Mhm, as long as you don’t die, the Personal Space won’t have problems. Of course, the opened channel is still quite ‘fragile.’ Some powerful attack methods can destroy it.” Dan Marina lightly swiped her finger in front of her. A black crack appeared. She gently pinched this crack with her two slender fingers, and a faint muffled sound echoed in the air. The crack broke and disappeared. “The Personal Space itself cannot be destroyed, but attacks that penetrate through this channel can destroy the items stored inside.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Well, I’ve explained until I’m thirsty. As repayment, you should satisfy me a bit, right?”
“…Satisfy… what?” Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but glance at Dan Marina’s chest… This woman was sitting too close!
“What do you think?”
“Ahem, let me put it this way: I’m planning to carve out a small piece of space from the Personal Space, specifically for storing goods. Once a transaction between both parties is confirmed, they can each conduct a convenient and quick trade from this carved-out Personal Space. What do you think?”
This was completely feasible under certain conditions! Because the Personal Space was bound to his Soul, when using a Projection, he could also directly open the Personal Space from the Projection’s side. The cost would just be a bit more Mana. This involved the power of space. As for the principle, Zheng Yichen didn’t understand space power, but he had the conditions to use it, right?
If he could leverage and develop this expansion, why not use such convenience?
As for others doing this before, even if they had a Personal Space, who had conditions like the Magic Weapon Forum?
“…Your former world must have been quite brilliant.” Dan Marina said sincerely. If she hadn’t known Zheng Yichen for long, she might have thought this was Zheng Yichen’s own idea. But now, having known him for so long and understanding him well enough, what Zheng Yichen thought of was definitely a development from the world behind him.
Well, but in this world, there was only Zheng Yichen as such a special existence. What he thought of now could be considered his own.
“That’s true…” Zheng Yichen said, then shook his head. Some things, you only learn to cherish after losing them. Zheng Yichen now felt conflicted. On one hand, he missed some aspects of life on Earth. On the other hand, he felt reluctant to let go of the power he grasped in this world. After all, in this world, he had accomplished many things he couldn’t on Earth. Human feelings, are they just this hypocritical?
“Don’t think about altering your Personal Space. Once a Personal Space completes fusion, it’s already solidified. If you insist on dividing it, it’s not impossible. The condition is that you possess sufficiently powerful space Magic and sufficiently precise control to forcibly reshape the Personal Space’s form. Those who try this aren’t thinking straight. No matter how you divide it, because of its connection with your Soul, as long as it’s not completely separated, the divided Personal Space will quickly merge back together. It would be a waste of effort.”
“Then let’s think of another method.” Zheng Yichen scratched his head, planning to contact Irene later after she finished her secluded cultivation and have her design a sufficiently powerful Magic Barrier for him. This Magic Barrier would ideally allow for partition into blocks. “After all, I have the relevant expert right here.”
“Even if Irene takes action, it still won’t stop those with ideas.” Dan Marina said. She had dealt with too many human hearts. And using the Personal Space for transactions, those without knowledge wouldn’t see anything. Those with knowledge usually weren’t too weak in strength. If an unknown entity’s Personal Space entrance opened right in front of them, wouldn’t they have the thought to go in and take a look?
After all, people who possess Personal Spaces usually aren’t poor. If they could fish out one or two good items from inside, they wouldn’t have to worry for a lifetime. Don’t doubt it, there really are many people who love to court death like this!
Therefore, it was completely predictable how many people would want to cause trouble if Zheng Yichen really did this.
“Heh, is that what I’m worried about? In the past, many people also wanted to pry into the secrets of the Magic Weapon Summoning Book. However, most of those people have now become its nourishment!” Zheng Yichen let out a light hum. He clearly understood how much convenience his actions would bring to Magic Weapon Summoners. Of course, his own gains would also be significant.
As for those troublemakers? He no longer had any extra sympathy for them. If he showed mercy out of sympathy, the other party would ruthlessly bite back using that very sympathy. Unless he completely scared them out of their wits. Such situations were common even in a world of ordinary people, let alone a world with special powers like this. In fact, such situations were even more severe here.
As for the cultural invasion brought by the Forum he had created so far or the “Hand-Chopping Treasure” he planned to develop later? Could a Transmigrator’s actions be called cultural invasion? That was advanced, legitimate, positive… guidance!
It was worth noting that most fast transportation power in this world relied on animal power… Horses were mainstream. Higher-level ones involved Magical Beast-drawn carts. Even higher-level ones were Alchemy Tools. But those required huge investment and weren’t affordable for ordinary people. The Magic Cycle Zheng Yichen created showed none of these problems.
Currently, research in many areas hadn’t been thoroughly explored. It mainly relied on Mana as the power source. In the future, Zheng Yichen planned to try things like fuel… This world also had similar substances. Even if the world’s rules were different, Magical Modification was possible. Lighting a pile of fire could generate Fire Element, right? In terms of Eastern fantasy, wood generates fire, no difference. So, things like fuel engines could definitely be made into Magical Modification versions. They wouldn’t need to directly rely on Mana or use things like Mana Crystals.
However, Zheng Yichen scheduled these researches far into the future. He currently didn’t have much time for such studies.
“Then wait for Irene to return. Thinking about it a bit, I guess I might be overthinking it.” Dan Marina pulled up her slightly slipped pajama strap on her shoulder and stood up. “With that one in your family, which person who barges into your Personal Space can come out intact?”
In the outside world, Loris’s attacks could still be dodged. Inside Zheng Yichen’s Personal Space, her attacks could completely cover the entire space. Once inside, it would truly be like being thrown into a jar like a turtle. Aside from inwardly cursing, they could only brace themselves and take the beating.
“True, those with the guts and ability to break in probably aren’t poor either.”
“Are you planning to set up some bait?”
“Let me think about what would be more appropriate…”
