Chapter 2638: Advertising Pretext, Foundation of Leadership

————Still about half an hour left~~

Arriving at the Labyrinth Laboratory.

Niya and her team were already waiting here. Seeing Xia Duo approach, Niya immediately handed him a bracelet-shaped Magic Item. Xia Duo glanced at it and found nothing unusual; it was just a standard sterling silver casing.

"Is this the Void Warehouse Connector you all made?"

"Mm, try it out and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

Niya looked at Xia Duo with some trepidation and did not offer further introduction, while the others looked on with anticipation. Although the initial idea for this project came from Xia Duo, they had actually built it and naturally hoped for recognition.

Thus, Xia Duo checked the Spell design of this Connector while synchronizing it with himself. In terms of usage, the intuitive feeling was not much different from a Dimensional Bag.

In reality, the key to the Void Warehouse, which distinguishes it from a traditional Dimensional Bag, lies not in the Connector, but in the design and management of the Semi-Plane Warehouse itself.

What the Void Warehouse sells is actually a storage and transshipment service, not a storage space in the traditional sense. If Niya's team did not understand this distinction, then this Void Warehouse was, in fact, substandard.

Missing that process, it would naturally be more troublesome.

Of course, if it is not as convenient as a Personal Space, then that is that. Xia Duo does not actually use Dimensional Bags much; he does not even carry them often. He usually leaves the Dimensional Bag in his Personal Space and only takes it out when needed.

At this moment, at one edge of that Semi-Plane, the various items Xia Duo had just stored while testing were floating quietly.

"After upgrading, should we have them temporarily take out the items stored previously, and then store them back in after we swap them to a larger space?"

I just didn't think it through at the time, but now that Niya introduced it, I realized the difficulty involved. The spatial positioning within the Plane that Niya mentioned—the Tower of Time indeed has relevant technology, but it is only related to positioning.

"Just one."

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but ask Niya, "What is the minimum capacity for a single user's Void Warehouse?"

"Swap for a Connector corresponding to a larger space?" Niya suddenly became somewhat unconfident.

……

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo asked another question: "How many Semi-Planes did you use for this Void Warehouse?"

With no outsiders present, Niya spoke much more relaxed, and what she was saying now was something Xia Duo had actually sensed while testing just a moment ago.

"The user-level approach is correct, but as the operators of the Void Warehouse, we certainly cannot have it be that complicated. I'll just ask one thing: how are the items in the warehouse handled after a user upgrades? Have you thought of a contingency plan?"

And in other parts of this Semi-Plane, there were also some scattered items floating, which should have been stored by Niya and the others during previous experiments.

Niya's answer made Xia Duo feel very surprised, but he continued to ask based on the previous question, "Then if I want to expand the space now, what should I do?"

Because, for the convenience of ordinary people or High Mages with insufficient magical knowledge, Dimensional Bags are designed to be opened physically—that is, by directly opening the bag with one's hand—to place items into the Dimension Space.

The gravitational environment is also close to a Standard Suspension Field, which is a zero-gravity environment.

Compared to a normal Semi-Plane, although one might only be able to create one a day, or even need several days to create one, the success rate might not be much higher. Who knows, after working for several days, it might end up a failure.

The lifespan of this Semi-Plane is far lower than other Semi-Planes; of course, compared to humans, it is still incomparably long. This was specifically designed by Xia Duo for the Void Warehouse.

……

Niya's voice was small, and Xia Duo almost didn't hear it, but he did learn that the Void Warehouse Niya designed is actually the same as a normal Dimensional Bag, just mapping multiple Connectors to one larger space.

Next, Xia Duo tried storing and retrieving different types of items, from ordinary items to Magic Items, from small items to large items, without any obstruction.

"Mm."

"This here is the main body of the Void Warehouse. The direction we have been focusing on during this period is spatial positioning within the Plane, which is necessary for multiple Connectors to correspond to one Semi-Plane. Fortunately, the Tower of Time already had relevant technology, otherwise I would have been helpless."

"Is this Void Warehouse you have now designed like that?"

With a hint of anticipation, Xia Duo began his first trial. The synchronization process just now was very smooth, and next was the storage of items. This was the most basic function, and he figured there wouldn't be any problems.

Under Niya's guidance, Xia Duo arrived at the Semi-Plane used for the Void Warehouse. Inside this Plane, there was no land, only thin atmosphere and hazy, faint light.

Although it is more "dilapidated" than a normal Semi-Plane, the Plane is easier to form because it does not require too much evolutionary process. Compared to a Normal Plane, a normal Semi-Plane is already a premature birth.

"This is the minimum capacity!"

Thus, he took a bag of flour from his Personal Space and transferred it to the Void Warehouse. The entire experience remained very smooth, almost indistinguishable from using a Dimensional Bag.

At the very least, this capacity of warehouse is not suitable for the basic Void storage service; there should be at least a dozen levels set between it and the basic version!

However, this also has an advantage, which is the short manufacturing cycle. Currently, it can be mass-produced in a high-volume manner. Although the success rate is low, if you manufacture it ten or twenty times a day, you will always succeed once.

Or more accurately, one must determine the boundaries for every Void Warehouse; otherwise, if the boundaries are unclear, and one accidentally stores items in someone else's warehouse, that would be a major accident.

And during this process, he also actually measured how large the warehouse connected to this bracelet was—just as the name suggests, it is a large warehouse, with at least several hundred cubic meters.

"Mm."

This is obviously not very appropriate.

In fact, the Personal Space also uses this method of storage and retrieval, only the Personal Space exists within Xia Duo's consciousness. Plane Overlap does not need to be realized through external Spells; it can be achieved directly with a thought, which is the most convenient.

Now, the experience of this Void Warehouse has reached the point where it is almost exactly the same as a traditional Dimensional Bag, and even more convenient.

Other fixed-form Storage Props, such as rings and bracelets, use the method of Plane Overlap for storage and retrieval, which is actually more convenient, but it is not suitable for operation by ordinary people.

And this Semi-Plane, compared to a normal Semi-Plane, is a premature birth among premature births.

"Then let's go inside the Semi-Plane to take a look."

Specifically regarding the Void Warehouse, it also involves the connection of corresponding spaces and the segmentation of large spaces. This kind of segmentation is not a "cutting" in actual space, but a segmentation at the connection level.
