Chapter 257: Displacement Drawer (Seeking Monthly Votes)

~7 min read 1,296 words

Hunter Bar.

The door to the toilet stall opened, and Aaron stepped out first, followed by William, whose legs were trembling slightly.

"I never imagined... the boss was actually an Inhuman-level combatant."

William, who had gathered a great deal of intelligence within the market, looked at Aaron's back, his legs feeling weak.

He felt fortunate that he hadn't harbored any crooked thoughts; otherwise, the other party could have crushed him to death with a single finger!

At this moment, there were other people in the washroom.

Handing over work that was too good would instead make others realize that there was something wrong with this "Craftsman."

And when it came to removing pollution and reducing negative effects, it far surpassed the "Mechanical Mentor"!

Before long, a vague plan took shape in his mind.

Not only was the Legendary case of the terrifying serial killer roaming at night quickly solved, with a group of brats who liked to play pranks at night caught, but even the Mysterious world had become much quieter.

Aaron did not concern himself with William's minor inner conflict.

What's more...

Liliyate Duolun murmured softly.

It wouldn't take long before his Great Ming as the bar's "gay" would spread throughout this neighborhood!

William had a premonition that this place would be his Nightmare in the future!

"As for the load-bearing capacity issue, since Mr. Halsey possesses that castle with such a high status, he can use a Ritual to project that status and influence onto these cabinets, which should barely solve it..."

"Hmm, the most important technique for forging similar items is actually Spirit World positioning... It just so happens that I have the best Signal Tower on hand..."

A night passed quickly.

William suppressed the urge to vomit and ran out of the washroom as if fleeing for his life.

The early morning streets were very quiet, with workers occasionally seen hurrying on their way.

"Hmm, I originally wanted to call it the 'Vanishing Cabinet,' but now that I think about it, I'll call it the 'Displacement Drawer' instead..."

Aaron stroked two of them, which had more exquisite patterns: "These two drawer cabinets are a pair; if you put an item in the drawer of one cabinet, after a period of time, it will appear in the drawer of the other cabinet... The range? From Plymouth to Green Forest City is sufficient. As for load-bearing capacity, there is no problem at all in transporting ordinary items, and Spirit Material is fine too, but for an Inhuman-level Item, it would probably break after one use, and higher-grade items would explode the moment they were put in... Its negative effect is that after each use, a certain symptom of getting lost will appear... lasting anywhere from several hours."

After changing his appearance, he returned to his residence on Phoenix Street.

"Very calm, very peaceful... very... boring!"

"Even for delivery, I have to delay it by a week first; I can't let others know the secret that I forge too quickly..."

At this moment, Aaron seemed to embody an unscrupulous sweatshop owner, cheating the employer until they were covered in blood...

The entire Mysterious circle of Green Forest City, whether official or civilian Extraordinary, had suffered heavy losses in the Sotos Ruins!

Before other external forces move in and new Extraordinary grow up, this harmonious and peaceful situation will likely be maintained for a long time.

Although the gathering of Mr. "Jazz" still occasionally opened, each time there were more than half fewer people than before.

And the other two were finished products prepared for Mr. Halsey.

The consequence caused was the emergence of a "vacuum period."

"No, even if I have to risk never getting a raise again, I must apply to the boss to move this passage somewhere else!"

Thinking about how he would have to frequently bring people in and out of here as the bar's Extraordinary manager in the future, William had the urge to jump off a building.

He raised a hand, let pure white flames envelop an eyeball, and began to calcine it...

Green Forest City.

While passing a row of apartment buildings, a cold wind blew, causing the mailbox nailed to the side of the doorplate to rustle.

He took out the box containing the "Sidi-fen-ke Spirit Eyeball," confirming that there were no problems with the box or the materials inside.

This was what Aaron prepared to keep for his own use.

It seemed that ever since God's Messenger Yasuo and Mr. Rapier left, Green Forest City immediately returned to its previous state of stagnant water.

"No... I don't want to!"

Well, recently she had taken a liking to the donuts at a bakery on the corner of Jinsen Street, so occasionally taking a detour to buy breakfast was not suspicious in the slightest.

Liliyate Duolun, wearing delicate glasses, was dressed neatly and walked out of her home, preparing to go to the bank for work.

"But... it's so boring."

William guessed what the other party was thinking and wished he could cast an Oblivion Incantation on them directly.

Aaron didn't feel there was anything wrong with doing this.

The drunkard pulled open his clothes, revealing a rainbow belt, and gave William a wink.

"As long as it only requires transporting items and not living creatures, the difficulty of crafting is greatly reduced..."

Inside the renovated basement.

In terms of object-forging ability, Aaron felt that he was already comparable to the Fourth Primordial Substance that purely follows the "Yao."

As the first ray of dawn illuminated Plymouth, four drawer-style cabinets of similar design were placed in the basement in front of Aaron, facing each other in pairs.

Immediately, his eyes turned pure white, and using his Spirit Identification ability, he began to test the composition, purity, and suitable crafting methods for these materials.

Although the magic of the stall was that the door would not open when someone was inside, sparing Aaron and the others the embarrassment of seeing a stranger pulling up their pants, the outside was another matter...

For other "Craftsmen," forging that would require at least a week of busy work was enough for Aaron in just one night.

The women of high society took advantage of the winter to show off their precious mink coats like peacocks spreading their tails, wishing they could change their style every day...

A drunkard saw Aaron and William walk out of a stall, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Liliyate complained in her heart and slightly changed her route on the way.

"This makes things a bit difficult for me; if only you were plotting against me... then I could do a 'black-eat-black' like last time."

To have successfully forged one pair is already far beyond that waste Gantis; what more could Mr. Halsey possibly ask for?

Aaron stroked the "Crying Blade" at his waist and muttered a sentence.

"Their effects are similar to the 'Displacement Drawer', just with a shorter range and more severe negative side effects; they can be considered a fully shrunken 'monkey version'..."

In the void, the "spirits" invisible to the naked eyes of ordinary people brought Liliyat good news: "A letter from Mr. 'Yasuo'? That's wonderful."

"Hey, brother, I support you... this is not a shameful hobby, our Majesty the King is the same... the same..."

This is a Safe House that only serves Liliyat, and the mailbox is usually empty.

Liliyat felt a surge of joy in her heart and immediately prepared to disguise herself that night to come and retrieve the letter.

It was a coded letter, and the codebook used was the third edition of the "Bible: Creation of the World" printed by the Holy Spirit Church; Liliyat had a copy at home!
