Chapter 1
Years later, after Lin Qi had crafted countless technologies, everyone suddenly realized that the Anywhere Door was merely a tiny, insignificant fraction of all his inventions.
1. In the Luo Fu, Starting by Crafting an Anywhere Door
Amber Era 2157, Xianzhou Era 8090.
The Luo Fu.
Artisanship Commission.
Inside a shop.
A handsome young man was looking at the young girl before him with great interest.
The girl was not tall, but she had delicate features, wore a cyan-black dress, and had two short ponytails. Her face was full of hesitation.
"Boss, is there really no danger in using this 'Anywhere Door'?"
The girl pointed to a door standing not far away and asked.
"You've used at least eight or ten gadgets from me; have you ever had any problems?" the young man replied with a smile.
"That's true, I haven't." The girl shook her head quickly.
"Then there you go. You want to save time on your commute to slack off, but you don't want your Diviner Fu Xuan to find out. This new invention of mine is your best choice."
"But it..."
The girl hesitated for a moment, still feeling uneasy, and said, "As long as I think of the location in my heart and step through the door, I can arrive there. The effective range is ten light-years. What if it transmits me to the wrong place, like the nest of some Abundance monstrosity? Wouldn't that be the end of me?"
"Qingque, oh Qingque, afraid of this and afraid of that, do you still want to slack off?" The young man shook his head and laughed. "Don't worry, the Anywhere Door I introduced to you is the official version, but yours is just the youth version. Its functions aren't that powerful, and the transmission range is limited to the Xianzhou."
"Really?"
Qingque felt relieved, and immediately, a look of joy spread across her face.
With this curiosity called the Anywhere Door, she would never waste time commuting again. The time saved could be used to play two more rounds of Celestial Jade.
It couldn't be more perfect.
The only problem was...
"Boss, how many Strale for this Anywhere Door?"
After asking this, Qingque felt a bit nervous.
As a low-level clerk at the Divination Commission, her salary really wasn't much.
For a curiosity like the Anywhere Door, even if it was just the "youth version," it clearly wouldn't be cheap.
What's more...
She had bought other curiosities at this shop before.
"Not expensive, just one Strale."
"One?"
Qingque froze for a moment, doubting if she had heard wrong.
You have to know, just buying a flight gadget called "Bamboo-Copter" had cost her half a month's salary.
"You heard me right, just one Strale."
"Of course, if it were the official version, it definitely wouldn't be this price."
"Why, do you want the official version? Or do you want to pay more?"
Qingque waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, the youth version is just fine. I like the youth version."
As she spoke, she thanked him again and readily took out her phone, paying one Strale to Lin Qi, the owner of this shop named "Meet Again Shop."
However, after the payment was completed, she suddenly realized a problem.
This Anywhere Door was much taller than her. It was fine at home, but if she went to the Divination Commission, how would she store it?
If she just left it standing there, wasn't that just waiting to be discovered by Diviner Fu Xuan?
Thinking of this, she asked the question, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I can't... put it in my pocket, can I?"
"That's not impossible."
"Ah?"
Qingque froze again.
Then she saw Lin Qi take out a white pocket the size of a palm.
This pocket looked plain and ordinary, not special at all.
But it was just such a pocket that made her mouth hang wide open, because she saw the Anywhere Door, which was taller than a person, being put into it by Lin Qi just like that.
It was just like the joke, "How many steps does it take to put an elephant into a refrigerator?"
Putting the Anywhere Door into this pocket also only took three steps: take out the pocket, put the Anywhere Door in, and close the pocket.
Is this reasonable?
Before Qingque could ask how much it cost, Lin Qi spoke again.
"This is a Four-Dimensional Pocket, but it's also a test version, so I'll just charge you one Strale as a token. If there's anything that needs improvement, just remember to tell me."
"Okay, Boss."
Qingque was stunned, and could only nod blankly.
Give feedback?
Am I worthy?
I'm just a small clerk.
Actually, Qingque had heard of storage curiosities like the Omniscia Pouch, but similar curiosities used super-distance folding technology. Although they could store items, they were nowhere near as magical as this.
But since it only cost one Strale, it was truly wonderful.
How many Celestial Jade tiles could this hold?
Overjoyed, Qingque even forgot to use the Anywhere Door when she left.
Watching Qingque's back, Lin Qi remained calm on the surface, but was blooming with joy inside.
【Common Influence Points +200】
【Plot Influence Points +100】
"This little girl can indeed increase plot influence points!"
Hearing the system prompt, Lin Qi finally confirmed it.
In fact, whether it was the youth version of the Anywhere Door or the test version of the Four-Dimensional Pocket, the cost could never be just one Strale.
But even so, Lin Qi still sold them to Qingque at this super-low price.
The reason was that this could earn him the points needed to draw technology.
Twenty years ago.
Lin Qi transmigrated.
He became a child on a blue planet.
At first, he was confused, because how could this world have technology that was dark to the point of no return, and also transcendent beings that were hard to explain?
It wasn't until one time, after seeing the portrait of a certain genius, the "Planet Chief" of the Blue Planet, that he suddenly realized he had probably transmigrated into a game world.
After reaching this conclusion, Lin Qi's first reaction was regret.
