Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1133: Chapter 1132: I Feel Like I’m About to Die

Still the familiar Mage Tower.

Still the familiar rundown door.

And the completely unfamiliar brown bear lying on the table...

”Mentor, what’s going on with you?”

Seeing Rex lying on the table with a deathly pale face, Fang Zheng was startled. He came to the Tower of Heaven for the Magitech Exchange Conference and to see his mentor. What’s happened here? A sudden illness? Should he call 120? Oh... seems like there’s no 120 in this world...

”Oh, you’re here...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s voice, Rex opened his eyes weakly and glanced at him, then closed them again.

”Uh... I came to see you. Mentor, are you... sick?”

Fang Zheng looked at the broad-shouldered Rex and couldn’t understand why he looked so lifeless.

”It’s all your doing.”

”Me?”

Fang Zheng felt like trouble was falling from the sky onto him. What did he do? He had been staying in the Heavenly Dao Palace without stepping out, so why blame him?

”You previously gave Master Colette that... electron microscope, right?”

”Yes...”

Just a mere biological electron microscope, nothing expensive. Colette wanted it, so Fang Zheng gave it to her. What’s the problem?

”Ah...”

Rex sighed again.

”Well, you know what’s in our blood, right?”

”Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets?”

Fang Zheng thought carefully and gave an answer, wondering since when his mentor got interested in this stuff.

”Ah...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s response, Rex sighed once more, looking dejected.

”Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

”......?”

Fang Zheng was completely puzzled by what Rex was talking about. However, the broad-shouldered, robust Prophecy System mentor soon spoke for himself.

”Think about it, in your body, thousands of round red balls rolling around. Doesn’t it feel uncomfortable? My god... Master Colette, what grudge do you have against me to make me aware of this... Now I feel itchy everywhere, as if those round balls are rolling in my veins, and those platelets—like Demons in appearance—ah, I can even feel their tentacles writhing densely inside my body...”

”Uh, mentor, maybe you should stop talking...”

Listening to Rex, Fang Zheng started to feel itchy himself.

”Actually, you couldn’t possibly feel them, you should know how small those cells are, invisible to our eyes...”

”But they’re what make up blood...”

”That’s true, but...”

Looking at Rex, Fang Zheng didn’t know how to respond. He never thought this mentor, who seems strong enough to punch a bear to death, would have this kind of weakness—perhaps it’s trypophobia?

Though Fang Zheng found his mentor’s weakness amusing, he didn’t want to dwell on it, so he decisively changed the topic.

”I came to the White Tower for the Crystal Tower matter... I’ve heard you want me to set up a Crystal Tower here?”

”Oh, right, that’s true.”

Upon hearing this, Rex straightened up, slapped his face, clearly trying to throw that uncomfortable topic out of his mind. Then, he took out a long rectangular black object from his pocket—Fang Zheng’s Heavenly Dao Palace-produced Pear smartphone.

”We’ve researched the technology inside here, it’s indeed fascinating, being able to unify different layers of magic net spells. Just this qualifies you to join the Magitech Exchange Conference. But... you say this thing can communicate? How does it work?”

”Indeed, it requires the construction of a Crystal Tower.”

Fang Zheng immediately explained.

”Simply put, this smartphone is a terminal, and data transmission needs interaction with the Crystal Tower...”

”Then, how large is the coverage area?”

”Basically, one Crystal Tower can cover half a block.”

”Come on, let’s try it!”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, Rex immediately stood up, slapping his face.

When Fang Zheng followed Rex to an open area outside the White Tower, Colette and several other chiefs were already waiting there. Clearly, they were quite interested in this groundbreaking invention—assuming this thing called a phone works as Fang Zheng described.

”Here?”

”Yes, let’s begin.”

Rex glanced at Colette, clearly not wanting to waste time on a certain topic with her, so he quickly waved his hand, signaling Fang Zheng to start. Fang Zheng immediately took out a Tanji from his personal space and placed it on the ground.

”What’s this?”

The Chief of the Enchantment School curiously eyed the round-headed little fellow, showing undisguised interest.

”This is Tanji, sort of... a construct.”

Fang Zheng briefly introduced it to the chiefs, then snapped his fingers. Soon, the crowd saw an electric light shoot from Tanji’s center, striking the air. Then, a virtual image of a Crystal Tower slowly appeared in the previously empty air.

”Is this... some kind of Teleportation technology?”

The Chief of the Spellcraft System on the other side closed his eyes, clearly sensing some spatial fluctuation.

”Yes.”

Fang Zheng didn’t hold back.

”This is exclusive technology of the Heavenly Dao Palace. We manufacture the needed items at the Heavenly Dao Palace, then use Tanji to initiate teleportation to transfer them to the designated location.”

”An interesting idea.”

Hearing this, the Chief of the Spellcraft System’s eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly, then he looked at the other Mages beside him.

”I think our Magitech Nation should also try similar technology, it’s perfect for wilderness combat.”

”Indeed, transporting supplies by teleportation is a better idea, plus it’s inanimate, so no need to worry about the impact of spatial turbulence...”

Mages aren’t fools, especially the top elites of the Magitech Nation from the White Tower, who excel at inferring other things from one fact.

As they discussed, with a soft ”swish”, a Crystal Tower suddenly appeared out of thin air, quietly hovering in mid-air. It emitted a faint radiance, appearing quite beautiful.

”Seems like with this, we could even save on street lamps.”

Looking at the glowing Crystal Tower, Rex couldn’t help but smile, but at this moment, the Chief of the Shaping Type raised an eyebrow.

”Wait, don’t you think, something seems off?”

”Off?”

Hearing the Chief of the Shaping Type, everyone focused their attention, and a moment later, Rex’s expression also changed slightly.

”The magic power seems to have become more stable?!”

”Yes, I feel it too!!”

The other Mages nodded along, knowing the importance of stable magic power. Mages need external magic power to cast spells, and if the magic power is too berserk, spells could go wrong or be countered. Conversely, if the magic power is ”as smooth as silk,” their spellcasting would be more fluid and comfortable!

”The Crystal Tower can suppress Chaos and create order, indeed stabilizing magic power fluctuations to some extent.”

Compared to the astonished crowd, Fang Zheng remained calm, knowing the effects of the Crystal Tower early on; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to bring it out, right?

”Does it have such effects?”

On hearing this, all the Mages present had their eyes almost turn red. This time, their view of the Crystal Tower changed. Setting aside other things, just the capability to stabilize magic power fluctuations made the Crystal Tower invaluable!

”Your Excellency Fang Zheng, may I ask if you are selling this Crystal Tower too? May I inquire about the price?”

The Chief of the Shaping Type quickly asked, and this time, he no longer treated Fang Zheng as a Mage of the White Tower, but as the leader of the Heavenly Dao Palace.

”Of course, the phone needs to pair with a Crystal Tower to demonstrate its effectiveness. If you all want remote communication, setting up a Crystal Tower is necessary, as for the price...”

Fang Zheng thought for a moment, deciding to give them a fair price, a hundred times the cost should suffice.

”Five hundred thousand White Gold Coins.”
